Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: thank you for the Reviews! Yes guys this chapter with few similarity to the episode "the devil made me do it" where Joan destroys Adam's art work. I used the same basic notion for this chapter but changed it in favor for my own plot. So please don't hate for it!
Chapter Five
The Devil Made Me Do It
Life has been smiling at Ginny; she had sort of a relationship with Harry, her brother and best friend were nice to each other, her Library help hours became bearable and even God himself gave her a rest. It was all perfect, almost too perfect.
"Hello Ginny." The young boy God said as Ginny took her seat in History of Magic waiting for Professor Binns to float through the wall and begin his lesson.
"Hey, G!" she answered in a very cool voice.
"G?"
"Yeah, G? Shortness for God?" he arched an eyebrow at her. "Never mind, I'll stick to Your Holiness."
"Good Girl. How things have been going?"
"Pretty well, but aren't you supposed you know that?"
"Of course I know that, but I was just being polite. It was only a way to start a conversation with you."
"Well, I'm already used to the "I have something for you to do" way to start a conversation."
"Speaking of "I have something for you to do", I have something for you to do."
"What! Damnit I can't believe I fell for it."
"Works like a charm."
"Shut up, you bloody holly motherfuc-"
"That's not a way to talk to God, now listen, in a few days Harry is going to get a package from Dumbledore, I want you find a way to keep it from him."
"I-I-I-I can't to that to Harry."
"It's for the best."
"Are you sure?"
"Would I ever make you do something-"
"Yes!"
"I'm not finished."
"I always thought you'd be nicer!"
"I get that a lot. Anyway do you understand what I'm asking you to do?"
"I'm not stupid you know."
"Try and do the best." He got up and started to walk away just as Professor Binns hovered in and caught him walk away.
"I'm sorry young man but don't you have history?" the ghost of the former alive professor asked.
"Me? I created History." And with that he walked out of the classroom and Ginny snickered to herself throughout the entire class.
"HE DONE IT AGAIN!"
"Who?"
"You're git brother, that's who!"
"What now Hermione? Did he mocked at you're hair? Hexed a stray house elf? Don't tell, he passed notes with Harry in Transfiguration?"
"No! No! And no! What's wrong with my hair?"
"Nothing."
"If there's nothing wrong why did you mention it first? Does Ron talks about it? He hates it? He hates my hair; he thinks I'm an ugly, control freak know-it-all with gigantic bushy hair! Well you know what? I hate him! I hate his lack of brain cells, I hate the way he makes fun of everything, the way he always chew his food just to enjoy the taste of it, and how he always make me laugh at his stupid jokes and his stupid faces, and I hate-"
"Enough! Hermione, either you admit that you like him or I'll personally see that you will not make it to be Head Girl!"
"Okay, Okay! Merlin what got into you?"
Ginny really wanted to tell that the package that God ordered her to keep away from Harry was given to him today and that she has to take away from him, but al she did was to say, "Oh me? Just school stress." And she knew that this would be the key to shut Hermione up. As Ginny made her way to the portrait whole, it was already being open and Harry and walked in, the first one holding a brown paper square package.
"Wow, Harry, what is that?" asked Hermione as the two including Ginny set on the sofa and laid the package on the table in front of the fire.
"Dumbledore gave it to me, Remus sent it from London, there's a letter on it." And before Harry could get to Ginny pounced on it and grabbed it.
"It said that it's something you're parents left at Sirius before they died…" her voice became quiet and she saw that Harry becomes grim, she cannot do that to him.
"Why are looking at it like that?" asked Ron as he saw Ginny eyeing the package with the strangest look.
"No reason." Her wheels of thoughts began to put in action and an idea popped to her mind. "Harry, you don't look so good. Why won't we open the box later? Let it all sink before we see what's in it." She looked at him anxiously as he considered her suggestion.
"Gin's right, I'm not ready for it, yet." Ginny's heart was lighter, she succeeded in her mission.
Ginny was working in the library when a ghost hovered over to where she was and went through her which caused Ginny to shiver.
"Let me guess, The Holy Ghost?"
"Clever little one, aren't you?"
"It's a gift."
"Not by me that's for sure."
"Funny. What is it now?"
"You didn't do what I asked to do, Ginny."
"Why not exactly? I kept it away from him."
"You did, but only for the meantime, I want you to keep it away from him by all means."
"All means?"
"All means. Do it right this time."
As the ghost hovered her way out, Ginny pondered, why would God wants her to keep Harry away from a package that will probably mean the world to him? Why would he stop him from having something from his parents? What good will that brings? She needed a wise advice, someone with experience about thing like these, but who else talks to God? No one that she can think of, however there is someone that knows all about good and evil.
As soon as she was finished Ginny walked towards the headmaster chambers, she didn't what was the right password, but she was positive she would guess it right, she was deep into thoughts that she didn't noticed that the person on her mind was coming at her way.
"Are you in a rush Ms. Weasley?" his eyes twinkled behind his sickles glasses as the redhead stopped her tracks.
"I was on my way to see you, sir."
"Well, I'm right here so you can tell me what's on your mind."
"I wanted to ask you something."
"You already asked one but I'll let you off the hook." They arrived to the gargoyle and after Dumbledore muttered the password they were safe and sound in his office.
"So tell me Ms. Weasley, what is it that you want to ask?" Ginny hesitated for a quick moments but she knew she had to ask him.
"First of all, sir, do you believe in God?"
"I believe that there's a force stronger and powerful then us whether it's God or not, I don't know."
"Say if there is a God, do you think he will make someone to do a really bad thing?"
"No. but I think that it's really up to the person whether or not to the bad thing, it's his choice." Ginny became quite for a few seconds to let Dumbledore's words to sink down. "Is there anything else that you would like to ask Ms. Weasley?"
"No sir, I think I'm okay now." She got up and walked over to the door but as she was about to close it behind her but Dumbledore seemed to have one more thing to say.
"Maybe it's not God." He said suddenly and Ginny turned to face him once more.
"Why wouldn't it be God?"
"It can always be the Devil; he wears the shape of God to trick people and make them do bad things because they believe him to be God."
"He can?"
"Legend says so Ms. Weasley, but of course this is only a legend." He laughed heartedly and Ginny bid him Goodbye and closed the door behind her.
She walked at the disserted corridors knowing that dinner is in a few minutes but she wasn't feeling that hungry, she feared that she'll throw up the first piece of food that'll enter her mouth. Ginny didn't noticed but she walked automatically to the Gryffindor Tower and from the common room to the boys' dormitory, she saw the package lay on Harry's bed and tears filled her eyes as she looked at it.
"Having a bit of a problem?" squeaked someone, Ginny looked down and saw the house elf God.
"I….don't…I….can't…."
"You're apprehensive, just like you were when you got a training bra. And that's good."
"You're lucky I'm too bothered right now to smack you."
"Why are you bothered Ginny?"
"I don't know you tell me, you're God or maybe you just pretended to be God and you are in fact the Devil and you're just messing with my head!"
"I understand you're confused. But there are no dilemmas without confusion, there's no free will without dilemmas, and there's no humanity without free will."
"Huh?"
"Think about it Ginny, it will come to you when it's time."
With a popping sound the house elf was gone and Ginny set on the bed by the box, she caressed its brown wrapping and saw the open envelop on it where the letter from Remus was in.
"Ginny?" Ginny turned around and saw Hermione standing at door.
"Hermione, good, I need you're help!" Ginny took the package and walked over to Hermione. "I need a place to hide it, so can you keep it in you're trunk for a few days."
"I've been thinking Ginny, and what you said about me and Ron the other day was really inappropriate, yelling at me like that and saying those things about Ron-"
"Hermione, I'll deal with it later-"
"No you won't! You are going to tell me why you were all cranky the other day and why did you take it out on me and why-"
"Hermione SHUT UP!"
"Shut up! You are telling me to shut up?" Hermione looked at Ginny and walked over to the door.
"Wait, I need you to help me steal this!"
"I'm mad at you! I'm yelling at you! I wouldn't help you do anything! Don't you pick up any signals at all!" and she shut the door behind her.
"Bugger, bloody hell, bellbottoms!" Ginny dangled her way down to the common room, trying to see the stairs as clear as she can because of the box in her hands.
"Let me help you with that." A pair of hands took the box from her, realizing it was Harry and that now he will probably want to open the package, she ran towards him and grabbed it from his hold.
"No thank you, Harry." And she walked fast to the door leading to the girls' dormitory.
"Where are you going with my package?"
"I thought that keeping it out of you sight will help you decide what to do with it." She grinned nervously at him clutching the box.
"I already decided, and I want to open it."
"Good for you Harry, but why won't you give another thought?"
"I already did, now give me the box."
"No."
"I'm sorry, no?"
"No."
"Come on Gin, give me the box."
"I can't let you have it."
"Stop being an idiot and give him the bloody box, Ginny!"
"Mind your own business Ronald!"
"Please Gin, give me the box."
"I'm sorry Harry, but no."
"Fine." Harry withdrew his wand and pointed it at Ginny. "Accio Box!" the box flew out Ginny's hand straight to Harry's.
"Airtight then," With determination Ginny withdraw her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" the box was high in the air. "Accio Box!"
"Gin…"
"Harry…"
"You're making a mistake."
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not-"
"Accio!" the box again flew out Ginny's hands but this time to Ron's own hands. "Here Harry. And don't think I won't write Mum about this." The three, Ron, Harry and Hermione began walking to the portrait hole.
"Expelliarmus!" she cried as the box came to her way and she grabbed it in the air, Harry got up from the floor and was infuriated.
"What is wrong with you!" he made his way to Ginny. "Why are you doing this?"
Ginny became quiet. What can she possibly answer? God told me? She held on to the box and noticed that she was by the fireplace, Harry was coming at her way and she felt that the entire common room was closing at her. She looked at the fire and then to the box. "All means." The voice of God echoed in her head.
"Please Gin, Please give me the box, and we'll forget this all happened." Harry's eyes were full of emotions, and his words made her heart scream in painful agony at the sight of him.
"No." she spoke softly. She threw the box to the fire and ran out of the common room.
