Authors Note: Thank you to my 4 reviewers siriusndharryluvrr, WriterOfDragons, PP Ruffie and Professor Jaida. Your reviewers meant a lot and I am trying to make the chapters longer since Chapter 10. Hopefully you will have noticed that. I am afraid this story will be coming to end really soon. Sobs But don't worry another story will spring back.

So for all of you here's Chapter 12

'How could I be so stupid' Draco thought to himself as he lay in his four poster bed. 'I could have at least checked before placing it in my pocket! Ahh forget it!'

He put his hand under his head and paused for a while. Then reluctantly he slid it under the pillow and pulled out Ginny's pendant. He stared at its stone again. 'It's so similar yet so different and unique in its own way. Just like Ginny…… Just like Ginny! Oh God not again!'

He knew his actions weren't understandable but he felt comfortable that one of Ginny's possessions was with him. So he sat upright on his bed and tied it around his neck, knowing that it would be close to him. Smiling to himself without realising it, he fell asleep drifting to nowhere. Except that it was somewhere, however he didn't recognise the place, it felt familiar to him. He was feeling scared of what or who he didn't know yet. Another feeling began rising into him but it felt like he was being…….. being possessed. Draco looked around and could tell that he was in some sort of underground because the pillars and walls surrounding him were stony and he couldn't even see what was above him as it was at a great height.

Being more alert than usual he started walking straight ahead to see where it would lead him and suddenly felt a weight on his left arm. He looked down to find that he was carrying a black book it looked more like a diary to him.

'Where did that come from!'

As though meaning to do so he flung the book across where it fell by a pool of water and lay open. Draco stood transfixed; he didn't know where he was or how he had reached here.

'Where did that diary come from? And why am I getting the feeling that I was not the only one who felt like throwing that book away?'

His questions remained to himself because he knew this illusion or whatever he was seeing and feeling would give him knowledge of something he didn't know about. It seemed like a big jigsaw to him. So he stood, he waited looking at the diary and gasped. Ink was beginning to ooze out of the book and the shape of a human head was emerging from it. The hair was neatly trimmed showing that the person had black hair. A wide forehead came next which was followed by the nose, the neck, the torso, the limbs, until the whole figure of Tom Riddle stood in front of him. Somehow fear was rapidly building inside him. But why? He hadn't done anything wrong? The Dark Lord was defeated, then why fear?

Suddenly Tom Riddle spoke while looking straight at Draco. " You have brought me back Ginny, even though I am merely a memory I know you will successfully complete the task of making me real once again and obey my orders just the way you did with the others." He paused and smiled, it was a heartless smile which made Draco more nervous.

"For a Gryffindor, a mudblood lover you have indeed done very well by helping me open the Chamber of Secrets and why not? You didn't have anybody who would give you the attention and the care you needed which I of course provided." Now he spoke more quietly and Draco made sure he could hear every word.

"You biggest mistake Ginny was to trust me, depend on me but your biggest triumph will be you sacrifice, you death for my life"

Riddle started walking towards Draco and suddenly the jigsaw pieces started fitting together perfectly.

"Now don't worry! I won't harm you in any way, this will be just as peaceful as you are going to sleep except the fact that you will not wake up."

He reached out and touched Draco's forehead with his hand. Immediately Draco pulse started quickening, a pain shot through his head and felt that his head was going to explode when Riddle removed his hand. The pain was started to spread from his head to his body and Draco was on his knees. He felt his energy, his warmth and his life draining out of him. He wanted to scream and opened his mouth but no sound came out. He fell to the floor and blinked, watching his surroundings darken until his last image was of Tom Riddle looking at him smiling mockingly at him.

Draco sat up on his bed, breathing heavily. He was back in his dormitory and on his bed. It seemed like he was there all along. Slowly his breathing returned to normal, What he had just seen made him realise and understand Ginny Weasley much better.


6th Year Girls Gryffindor Dormitory

Ginny had reached the Common Room very quickly after leaving the Astronomy Tower. She headed straight to her dorm, as she knew that by now she must be flushing and if anyone caught her like that, especially her conceited prat of a brother then questions would be raised again. She walked inside and tossed her robe on her chair and kept her bag on the table. It was too early for her to go to bed so she decided to clear up her table instead, as it was in a usual mess. Ginny being the only girl in her family was very unorganised partly because of her older brothers influence and partly because she liked it that way. She wouldn't be allowed to use magic to even clean up her room at the Burrow, so she didn't have much choice here either. She started clearing up her spare scrolls and quills and emptied her bag. She felt her amulet at the bottom of her bag and pulled it out. Her expression immediately turned into one of utmost shock. Her stone was not tied to a black thread but to a fines silver chain and it was not her red stone at all instead it was an emerald green.

'Some one must have put in here! But it doesn't make any sense.' How could her pendant get changed? How could anyone know that she owned one in the first place and how could a different one come in her bag. 'I didn't leave my bag attended today at all except….' Ginny slapped her forehead – The Astronomy Tower.

She looked back at the stone and admired it. It was really beautiful; it was so similar to her own pendant. She slowly lifted it up to the moonlight 'Oh My God! Did it just flash a silver streak! Okay, now its way too similar to mine. But some aspects are still different. It's so unpredictable. Unpredictable like Draco….. No way! Its nothing like Draco, it's only a stone and now I'm blushing all over again! Argh! Damn you Draco… NOO Damn you Malfoy!'

She kept the amulet on her table and picked up her towelling robe, a hot shower was just what she needed and headed towards the bathroom. After a while she padded back into her dorm, quickly changed into her pyjamas and climbed into her bed. Somehow sleep wasn't catching up with her so she picked up the amulet again and started lazily playing with it across her fingers. A thought struck to her and she picked up her small bedside mirror and placed it on her lap. Unclasping the amulet her out it around her neck and looked back at her reflection. Ginny eyes shone brightly and a smile reached her face. The green stone looked so good on her. It didn't even clash with her hair! Feeling happy with herself she kept the mirror back on the table, lay back on her bed and closed her eyes.

It was a beautiful day; Ginny was walking across a huge garden which seemed to be located at the back of a manor. She felt like a child running, climbing and jumping up the stairs which led her inside the manor. Ginny reached for the door, turned the handle and pushed inside. She walked across a long passageway as if she knew where she was going. Her footsteps were the only sounds that were echoing through the corridors until she heard a pair of angry voices. She quietly stepped up to the door which was slightly ajar and listening carefully.

"Lucius! You have to understand! What will you tell the society? Things have to be the way they are. Please be aware of this situation. I did not want you find out this way. I never told you for the past 8 years because I knew that if I did then you would harm him." Ginny could tell that this was a woman's voice who was pleading to Draco's father. She listened more carefully while the same voice continued

"You wouldn't have loved him for these years the way you have"

"And I regret doing so!" an angry voice barked back. No mistake. This was Lucius Malfoy speaking

"He's our son!"

"No. He's your son. Only your son. Draco is your illegimate son Narcissa. He's not my son!"

Immediately everything around Ginny was black and then she was thrown into a completely different scenario. She was in the same manor and the same room she had seen before with the same people. But Lucius Malfoy looked more different, more like the Lucius Malfoy 2 years ago. She looked could also see Narcissa Malfoy sitting on an armchair across her looking into the fireplace. Even though both of them were present in the same room, the atmosphere was very cold. Neither seemed to notice that the other existed. Ginny decided that she didn't want to stay in the room longer, but she didn't have any control over the form she was in. Suddenly she did rise from the chair she was sitting on and turned around heading for the exit.

"Where do you think you're going?" Draco's father commanded.

"Let him be" his mother replied back. "He's had enough of your attitude since he came back from 4th year. You don't let him do what he wants in peace! It's either check artefacts or fetch something from Knockturn Alley for you. You're treating him like a house elf!"

"I wasn't talking to you!" he shouted "You filthy …." he stopped and left the sentence incomplete.

Ginny was now facing them and felt an anger rise into her. How could he treat his wife like that? That's just insulting! Lucius Malfoy then looked straight at Ginny and started walking towards her.

"What are you standing around here for? Get out!"

But Ginny just stood where she was firmly and glared back at him. Lucius Malfoy's eyes were showing pure hatred even though his expression was unreadable. Suddenly he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room. She could feel the pain he was forcefully causing on her. When he let go he said, "Come to my study at 10 tonight" Lucius Malfoy turned back and slammed the door into her face. Again as if she was seeing patchwork she was pulled back into the same dark atmosphere and then found herself outside a large oak door.

A voice told her to come and she did as she was told. Lucius Malfoy was sitting on his study desk and another man was there with him. He was broad, large man and strongly reminded her of Crabbe. She turned her attention back to Lucius Malfoy who had started to speak.

"Draco, I have decided that now it is time for you to prove yourself. The Dark Lord and his followers have to start preparing and face his opponent and defeat him." Ginny knew immediately who the opponent was and smiled to herself as their preparations were useless.

"It is high time that you show your loyalty to Him and maybe also prove that you are truly a Malfoy." At these words Lucius Malfoy's eyes scrutinized Ginny as if trying to make a deal with her.

"Do you have an answer ready? Will you be prepared to serve him and carry the mark?" Ginny's eyes widened, Draco was asked to be a Death Eater.

"Will you?" Lucius Malfoy asked again threateningly

Before she knew the answer, Ginny was again flashed into a different setting. She was lying on a large comfortable bed with green curtains around it. She was feeling really drowsy and felt as if she was just going to go to sleep, when she heard and loud slam. She got up quickly and looked at the door Lucius Malfoy had done it on purpose and was heading towards her. His hand pulled her hair forcefully and kicked her out of the bed. She cried out as she felt the pain in her stomach. Lucius Malfoy tilted her head back and looked at her.

"How dare you refuse? You will serve the Dark Lord! You have no choice do you understand" he said as he punched her in her face. She could feel a warm sensation coming from her mouth. It tasted like blood.

Lucius Malfoy then picked her picked her up by her throat and shouted at her. "Now I definitely know that you are no good. You aren't my blood. You aren't a Malfoy! God knows whose son you really are! Now I have to give you my identity and live with it!"

Ginny could see a shadow of someone behind Lucius Malfoy but couldn't recognise it because she only heard someone shouted Stupefy and the surrounding go back again. This time however she wasn't flashed into another place or another setting. She was back on her four poster bed and she was sitting upright. Her hand reached up to her face, there was no blood and she didn't feel any pain. She finally knew what Draco's answer was.
