Chapter 5 - The Dream

All rooms in the Burrow were occupied that night. Ginny was forced to give up her room to Fluer, who had brought so much with her, that it took up her newly painted room. Hermione was going to be coming to the house in the next 4 days, so the two would be bunking in Fred and George's room.
Fred and George had use of their room still. And strange colors of smoke would shoot from the cracks in the door mid-day. With the joke shop open, Ron and Ginny were even more curious to see what the twins were creating.
Ron was readying his room for Harry who would be coming in 5 days. Four beds would be placed in the small room, which right now had a large pile of dirty clothes in a corner, three bottle's of butter beer, a few empty cases of chocolate frogs, and a half eaten bag of every-flavored beans (half were scattered across the floor) on the dresser and desk. She felt some-what sorry for the twins and Harry. Ron was not the neatest person, and lately he was worse. Charlie was coming home to visit, so he would be staying in Percy's room, since Percy was still, being a git. Bill had his room to himself.
Ginny got to stay on the lumpy out of date sofa in the small family room. She had found one spot that didn't hurt. Then moved. Now her left leg was on the back rest, her right lifted on the arm rest, her head on a soft pillow, and her right arm hanging off the open side. She could feel the floor with her finger-tips. She hated company lately. Since Fluer and Bill's engagement, she hated company more. She had finally made a change to her room, and now got to hear about it.
Ginny started entering a uncomfortable sleep, when she heard Bills voice. "Gin, you up?"
"Now I am." Ginny mumbled annoyed
"Sorry. Thought you'd like me to improve the sofa." Bill said
"What?" Ginny asked, rather confused
"Charlie and I use to be the ones banished to these two sofas. Even 9 years ago you had the comfort level you experience now." Bill explained
"Aha. Your point?" Ginny asked
Bill then muttered a spell, and Ginny found herself in luxury as her back was no longer resting on a spot wear the cushion was no longer in place.
"I love you Bill." Was all Ginny said, looking starry eyed at her older brother
"I know, I love you too Gin. Night." Bill said "I'll teach you that spell some time when you can use magic out side of school."
"Thank you Bill." Ginny said as Bill walked away up the stair case.
Ginny found herself entering sleep a second time. Then her head shot up. "I'm going into sixth year now."
Clearing that from her mind. She finally made it into slumber.

It was pitch black around her. She had just woken up, for the fourth time and was annoyed. She heard the floor creek. "Who's there?"
No answer. "Who's there?" She asked now annoyed. She heard another creek. "Fred? George? If this is another one of your pranks, it's too early." She found herself throwing her pillow at whatever it was, and heard an 'oof'. "Target hit." She muttered
She then felt a strange prickling feeling going down her arms, she sat up, and went into sitting position. She scooted over closer to the moonlight, and saw strange scratch marks shooting down bother arms, little bits of blood trickling down. Her eyes widened, and she felt a slight bit of fear build up inside her. She then felt the fear shoot up her spine, as she heard breathing behind her. 'Turn around.' She told herself. But her body would not allow it. She felt a hand on her left shoulder. Then the little light from the moon was gone. A spell muttered to make the curtains shield her from any light. She felt the hand move, and then made out a person standing in front of her. Presumably a male. Who was about two inches shorter then Bill. "Who are you?" Ginny asked, sternly
She heard a chuckle. 'Familiar' she thought.
She then felt more pain shoot down her arms, and felt the cold blood drip down her arms, a look of disgust on her face. The pain came in more as the person in front of her took her hand in presumably his. Then she felt the hand caress her face. The same feeling shot across her cheek.
"Would you scar your face to spite yourself?" She heard, as the person moved their own face next to her ear. His face was slightly touching her own, and more pain shot through. He moved his face away, defiantly a male, by the voice.
She then felt fear building up as the blood dripped down her face.

Then the face moved close, and she felt the man's lips on her own. More blood. "I never did forget you..." The man said when he pulled away. She heard another chuckle
She felt her lips cracking now. So much pain.
"You only did this to yourself. I wonder what you look like now. I can't see you out of the shadows."
"Who are you?" Ginny hissed
The boy sat next to her, and grabbed her by the chin, pulling her close for another kiss. "Why, I'm hurt Ginevra-love. How can you forget me?"
She felt her eyes grow wide, and then let a cry as more cuts formed on her arms and face. Tear now fell, as memories poured through her.
"T...Tom..."
"The one and only, Ginevra. It took you long enough." He got up, and moved behind the couch, placing his hands on her shoulders, a slight massage forming. More cuts slid across. She then felt his hands move to her neck, and tighten around.

Ginny woke in a cold sweat. She went to run from the family room, but tripped down on her blanket which was wrapped around her ankles. She kicked them off, and ran to the kitchen, the dim light on, incase anyone needed a drink of water.
Ginny quickly examined her arms. No cuts. Just the stinging feeling. She looked down at herself, no blood. She just saw her arms were pale. Her face would only be that pale also. She shivered lightly recalling his voice from the dream.
She then went to a cabinet, and pulled a glass. She walked over to the fridge and took out a container that held pumpkin juice, and poured it in.
She drank it, and then went back to sleep. She needed sleep. Maybe in the morning she would ask her mum if there was any extra dreamless sleep potion. Yeah. That's what she needed.

Far away, at the Zabini's. Tom stood in his room, looking out a large window. He held a glass of chilled red wine to his lips, a slight grin on his face. "Oh don't worry Ginevra-love. The fun and games have only just begun."
