Chap 2

Ginny flopped onto the bed, she was completely knackered. No-one, not even someone who had grown up with them should be allowed to be confined in a car with Fred and George for a significant part of the day. She noticed her trunk in the corner and got up to pull it over to the end of the bed. She rummaged around and came up with some things she could probably pass off, at a pinch, as pajamas. She pulled them on and lay down; hoping she wouldn't dream.

oooooooooo

Sirius closed Ginny's door quietly and walked across the landing to his room. He moved across the floor pulling off clothes as he went and leaving them where they fell. Today had been difficult to say the least. They had found yet another Boggart this morning and he had been forced yet again to listen to James and Lily telling him that their deaths and Harry's orphanage were all his fault. Merlin how he hated Boggarts. He flopped down onto the bed with very little doubt he would dream tonight.

ooooooooooo

She walked into the bathroom unable to stop herself and hissed at the tapes as she approached the sinks. She stood still as the passage opened and then jumped in. Ginny walked through the passages under the dungeons and then froze as she saw the figure in the main chamber. It turned and fixed her with the cold stare and smirking mouth that still haunted her.

"Hello Ginny" he said.

oooooooooooo

"Oh Sirius. Why did you do it. Why did you betray us, we were your friends" she said

"I didn't. It was……." He said backing away.

"Oh don't give me that Padfoot" James interrupted harshly.

"I didn't. I never….." he groaned falling to his knees.

"Come on, Lily leave the traitor on his knees where he belongs. I don't want you near him."

They turned and left him , broken on the floor.

Oooooooooo

He woke up lurching forward, gasping for air and bathed in sweat. He buried his face in his hands their figures burned onto the back of his eyelids. He stooped seeing them awake when he left the dementors but he still saw them in his dreams. Before Azakaban he hadn't known that even memories that came from Boggarts could be used by dementors. He'd had a very rude awakening.

Then he lifted his head hearing a noise; a scream. Jumping out of his bed he ran out of the room. The noises were clearer in the hall coming from Ginny's room.

"No, Tom no. Please. No that never happened; not that way. I didn't do it. I didn't mean to."

What was happening to her? Had something broken out of the fourth floor? He ran across the hall and yanked her door open. She was alone and still asleep but thrashing and screaming with her hands over her ears. He ran to her and grabbed her trying to wake her up. She jerked away from him but he grabbed her other shoulder as well holding her down.

"Ginny! Ginny! Wake up its only a dream. Ginny!" Her eyes snapped open but stayed unfocused. She turned her head and strained to the side muttering

"So horrible…….so real….talking to me…"

"Ginny its alright, whatever it is its not real." He said easing off her. She turned her head focusing on him and suddenly his arms were full of sobbing redhead. He was slightly shocked but turned so he was leaning back against the headboard with her in his lap. This was certainly a change from the mischievous ball of fire he had met that afternoon.

"Its alright you're safe; you're awake now."

This was so stupid. Who was he to comfort anyone about nightmares when his plagued him asleep or awake. Still he had to try.

"Tell me what it was you were dreaming about."

"I can't." she croaked.

"Why not?"

"You'll tell my parents."

"I won't" he said stroking her back "We can make a deal; I won't tell them about this and you won't tell them…er…..ah; that I came to rescue you from the big bad monsters I assumed were attacking you completely unarmed." What had he been planning to use? Hash language?

"You were gonna rescue me?"

"Yes" Apparently that was all that mattered. Merlin women could be odd. "Now tell me what you dreamed." She sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"It was Tom Riddle again."

"Who?"

" Tom was who Voldemort was before….well everything. He possessed me through a diary in my first year and forced me to open the Chamber of Secrets. Have you heard of it?"

"Yeah. Me'n the other Marauders tried to find it quite a few times." Her head shot up into his chin knocking his head back into the headboard.

"You were a Marauder?" she squeaked

"Yes" he said rather amused and rubbing the back of his head. The ball of energy was back.

"Fred and George practically worship you guys….Padfoot…….. and Lupin must be Moony….oh it all makes sense now! Anyway" she said turning serious again and leaning back against his chest "In the dream I'm back in the chamber only this time Harry dies and I'm a ghost. He taunts me and says that I'm the weak one; the only one who would have done it."

"No. That's not true." he said

"Isn't it? Then why did Lucius give the diary to me? Why didn't I fight him?"

"You couldn't have." he said gently "Voldemort's the most powerful dark wizard the world has ever seen. Wait a minute……did you say Lucius? As in Lucius Malfoy? How dare he? I knew he was a bastard but…." Ginny smiled up at him he'd actually growled. He was protecting her even though he didn't have to.

"Thanks Sirius" she said touching his cheek and yawning

"Oh" he said starting to move "I really ought to let you sleep now."

"No" she said quickly fear starting to creep back into her eyes "Could you just….stay until I fall asleep and…"

"Check you don't dream again?" he said gently understanding perfectly. She looked at him pleadingly

"Of course."
