Chapter 5: Darkness Returning

"It's raining - again!" Ron sighed by the window. "It's not too tragic you know, it's not like we go outside anyway … right!" Hermione answered back. Ron snorted in reply.
"So what do you want to do?" He asked with a certain look in his eye.

"Ronald, just because we have done it that doesn't mean we have to all the time. Besides we go back to school in a few days and I'm pretty sure you haven't finished your work! Am I wrong?" She raised her eyebrows at him. "Fine!" Ron stubbornly got up and grabbed his books.
………………………………...

"Oh come on Fred! Just tell me dammit - George?" Ginny eyed her two brothers. "We never kiss and tell - do we Fred?" George smiled at his brother. "Very clever. Like I don't already know you kissed them. Believe me I don't want serious details I just want to know if you got closer …" she let her sentence trail off and smirked.

"Honestly why are you so interested in our sex life anyway?" he didn't continue, as her look was too priceless - wide eyes and open mouth. Fred broke the shock, "Whoops! Look at that the cat's out of the bag now, isn't it."

Ginny fell over laughing and between laughs she said, "Just … the thought … of you two … OH SICK, SICK thoughts!" tears began streaming down her cheeks from laughing so hard. Fred and George watched in amusement before helping her up. "Not like it's the first time." George said.

"Okay this is turning into an over-share. I am going to go up to Harry's room." "Now Ginny-" Fred began. "-Do we need to give you the sex talk?" George finished. "Do I really look that stupid?" She replied smugly on her way up the stairs.

"She really does take after us the most." Fred noted. "Yep we've brought out the little devil in her with our bad influences." George added. They both smirked at the thought.
………………………………...

Ron was stubbornly doing his 12 inch potions essay, but he was having a hard time concentrating because he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful bookworm in front of him. He looked down at his not-nearly-done essay and sighed.

"Ron… you should really concentrate on your essay and not me" Hermione said not looking up from her book. Ron rolled his eyes and turned his chair around to the desk. He looked over his shoulder to make sure she wasn't looking and carefully opened up a drawer and pulled out his miniature Krum.

He herd Hedwig in the distance and Hermione squealed, "She must have our letters!" she jumped up and went to the window. She sorted through the letter until she got to hers and tore it open. A Head Girl badge fell out. "Oh I knew it!" she said excitedly. She ran out of the room and into Ginny.

"Ginny are Hogwarts letters just arrived and guess wh-" Ginny interrupted, "Oh, oh I know," She bugged her eyes and did her best impression of Professor Trelawney, "you my dear are Headgirl at Hogwarts this year…ooo!" Hermione broke out in laughter along with Ginny. "Yeah, isn't it great?"

She handed Harry and Ginny's letters to her and then bound down the stairs to tell Fred and George. Ginny reached Harry's door and knocked softly. "Come in." Harry called.
"Guess what, you just missed the best Trelawney impression I have ever done." She giggled. "Oh really what were you predicting?" Harry asked. "Hermione made Head girl - Surprise, Surprise, here's your letter." She answered.

Harry opened his and skimmed down it and mumbled, "Still a Prefect…Blah, Blah, Blah…oh and still Quiddich Captain." Ginny eyed her letter as well. "Same here -well except for the Quiddich Captain bit." He just smiled at her.

She noticed him staring and made a face at him. "Why, may I ask are you staring at me for?" she said and fluttered her eyelashes. He sighed, "Just thinking about how much we've been through together…" he trailed off and kissed her gently. She moved onto his lap.

"Yeah, you saved my life then all that stuff we had to deal with at the ministry. That was hell!" she looked intently at him for what seemed like forever. He clung his arms around her and she snuggled into his chest. They were safe and peaceful - for the time being - and finally… together.

The peace was broken by Ron shouting, "Give him back Hermione!" and then Hermione shouting back, "Ron we go back to school soon so just finish your work and I'll give you back Victor."

Ginny and Harry were puzzled. They made their way down to the shouts. They found Hermione holding Ron's miniature Krum (which she fixed) by its shirt collar - legs dangling and furiously kicking.

Ron was about to shout back when they heard a stir in the fireplace. "We're back everyone." called Mrs. Weasley. "We're up here mum." Ginny called down the stairs. "Come on Harry." Ginny led him down the stairs.
……………………………...

Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen making dinner and they were all discussing their letters and such. "Oh Hermione I am so happy for you dear. Headgirl! O suppose your parents are proud aren't they?" said Mrs. Weasley. "I hope so, I owled them earlier." Hermione replied. "I only wish Ron could have been Head boy …" Mrs. Weasley thought aloud.

"Oh thanks a lot mum, I'm still a ruddy Prefect you know." Ron paused then continued, "I wonder who is Headboy." "I dunno, it's probably a Ravenclaw." Harry intoned.

Ginny was surprisingly quiet, because she was staring at her mum, trying to figure out if she was happy about her and Harry or not. She didn't say much on the matter when she found out, she only smiled. Her frustrations got the better of her and she blurted out, "Mum do you like my being with Harry?"

Everyone gazed at Molly waiting to see her reaction. "Yes dear. I am quite happy indeed. I was actually growing impatient at the fact that it took you this long." She said happily.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked. "Well I have been a mother for some time now and mothers can just tell these things." She replied and then returned to her cooking. Ginny smiled and rolled her eyes.
………………………………...

After dinner they went to Diagon Alley and bought all their school things. They stayed the night at the Leaky Cauldron.
………………………………...

"RON, HARRY! We're leaving." Hermione called up the stairs. They came down dragging their trunks behind them. The two couples trailed behind Mr. And Mrs. Weasley hand in hand. They arrived at the train station around 10:45.

"Me and Hermione are going to go on ahead ok. See you in a bit." Ron said to Harry. Ginny looked down at her wrist and noticed her 'H' charm was missing. "Bugger! Harry you go on without me I lost my 'H' charm somewhere."

"Do you want me to help you look?" He asked. "No it's ok. I'll meet you on the train." She kissed him quickly and took off in the other direction. Harry said 'goodbye' to the Weasleys and went through the barrier.

"Where the bloody hell is it!" Ginny muttered to herself. She looked down at her watch - 10:53 - 'Damn!' A few minutes later she found it, the latch was broken. On her way back she bumped into several people, the station was starting to get packed.

She hurriedly hugged her parents and took off through the barrier. The whistle sounded just as she reached the compartment with Harry inside. "Did you find it Love?" He asked. She nodded and sat down across from him.

"Hermione went to go find out about Headgirl and Ron went with her." Harry informed her. Ginny stared out the window and put her hands into her pockets. She could feel something in her pocket that wasn't there before, she pulled it out slowly.

Her nervous movements caught Harry's attention. "What is it Gin?" He asked. She looked down at her hand. It was a dark green -almost black- necklace with a red serpent's eye jewel.

Ginny frantically tried to pull her eyes away but they just wouldn't move. Her eyes filled with tears, she knew what would happen next. Pain flooded her entire body. Her eyes became identical to the serpents eye jewel on the necklace. Ginny's vision went black then she could see gravestones everywhere.

There was a large cauldron and a little ways a way there was a body lying limp -It was Cedric Diggory- her instincts told her to go help him, but she couldn't move. She looked around more and her eyes met Harry's body, attached to a grave stone.

She was furious! She wanted to kill Tom! A plump balding man, with only one hand went over to Harry and cut his arm. The balding man went back over to the cauldron, dropped the vial of blood in, and started mumbling words. Ginny knew what this must be she was seeing Voldemort being reborn.
………………………………...

Harry looked into what used to be Ginny's eyes and now were red and serpent like. "Ginny!" he called. She didn't answer, didn't blink, didn't move, with the exception of shallow breathing. Harry ran from the compartment and went to find Hermione and Ron.

He ran into them on their way back. "What's wrong?" Hermione asked nervously. "It's Ginny. Come on." They ran as fast as they could to their compartment. They all piled in just in time to find Ginny coming out of the trance. She crumpled to the floor and gasped for breath.

Ginny looked up with her own chocolate brown eyes to find all three of them staring at her. Her eyes met Harry's. She jumped up and hugged Harry tightly, tears spilling from her eyes.

"Oh, Harry. I saw it all happen." She sobbed. "What? What did you see?" He asked. She looked up and met his eyes. "I saw him come back." She said. "Who?" Hermione asked. "Voldemort." Ron winced at the name. "You saw me after I grabbed the trophy with Cedric?" Harry asked. Ginny nodded. "But why would you see this now?" Ron asked. Ginny just shook her head and kept her hold on Harry.

They sat in silence for the rest of the train ride. Ron and Hermione sat closely together across from Harry who was comforting Ginny. The necklace stayed clenched in Ginny's hand.

They gathered quickly in a carriage avoiding anyone who would want to talk to them. Once they reached the castle they headed right to the Great Hall and straight up to the teachers table for Dumbledor. "Sir, we need to talk to you immediately." Hermione said shortly. "Follow me." He replied.

They arrived in his office a few minutes after, he told McGonagall to go on with the sorting without him. Ginny unclenched the necklace and dropped it on his desk.
"Where did you get this Miss. Weasley?" He asked. "I'm not sure. Someone at the train station must have slipped it in my pocket." She explained. She told him her vision and then waited nervously for an explanation. "Sir?" She asked.

Dumbledor sighed loudly. "My dear I believe this is indeed the work of a death eater. I do not know exactly why he chose to show you this but I'm sure there is significance to this event. What precisely I don't know. However I will look into it. In the mean time stick together." They nodded and followed him back to the Great Hall for his start of term speech.

They sat at their table with several questioning looks being shot their way. "Where've you been?" Asked Seamus. "Just taking care of some things." Ron muttered. Seamus was about to ask more when Dumbledor began his speech.
………………………………...

They ate in silence until Ginny finally spoke up. "This is ridiculous!" She exclaimed. "We can't sit in silence forever." She looked around at the three of them. "Ginny's right." Hermione said. "So, umm if Ron wasn't Headboy who was?" Harry asked. Ron scrunched up his nose in disgust, "Malfoy. The Stupid Git." At these words Ginny's head snapped up. 'Shit!' she thought to herself.

"Blimey, that can't be right." Harry replied. Ron snorted, "Yeah no kidding. His dad probably got him the position." "Ron!" Hermione scalded, "You know Dumbledor would never take a bribe, maybe he just got really good marks." Hermione stated looking a little skeptical herself. "Yeah, right" Ron said sarcastically.

They left the Great Hall and were heading for the Gryffindor Tower, Ron and Harry deep in conversation about the upcoming Quiddich year, while Ginny was talking with Hermione. "Hermione, I need to talk to you - alone." She whispered. "Ok." Hermione replied.

"Be right back, ok." Ginny told the boys and she pulled Hermione into the nearest women toilet. "What is it Ginny?" Hermione questioned. "Stay away from Malfoy." She said seriously.

"Why? I can handle the Twitchy Ferret." Hermione chuckled. "No, you don't understand, just keep away from him. He'll try to get to you. I know he will." She warned. "Ginny what are you talking about?" Hermione was puzzled. "Please just listen to me!" With that said she ran out of the bathroom leaving Hermione very confused.
………………………………...

Ginny caught up to Ron and Harry. "Where's Hermione?" Ron asked. "Still in the bathroom." Ginny replied. "I'm going to go find her, see you later." Ron said as he turned and walked away. "Are you ok?" Harry asked. "Yeah I'm fine just got a lot on my mind." Ginny answered back.

As soon as they got to the common room Ginny gave Harry a quick kiss and headed for the girls dormitory. Harry waited for Ron. Not long after he arrived. "Sorry I took so long. I walked Hermione to her new room." He told Harry. "It's okay" Harry replied, Then they turned and headed up to their dormitory.

Dumbledore stood awake pacing his study. 'It all makes sense.' he thought to himself. 'She is the only girl to turn up in centuries… If they work together it will turn out for the better…'
