I don't own HP......wish I did........but I never, ever will own it......
Just realized that I could not accept anonymous reviews....... but I fixed it. I guess with school (says with great dislike) coming I am becoming more alert. So that means I'm going to probably walk into the telephone pole again...... like last year.
Last Chapter:

"I also think that the chamber is no longer the way you remember it. When I was coming out, all the beams were just.......well they were all collapsed."Ginny said

"Well that ruins that. And we can't go talk by the lake, since the weather is so terrible."Tom said

"So what should we do then?"Ginny asked

Tom grinned evilly

"No."Ginny said

Tom frowned at her and then grabbed her arm

"Where are we going Tom?"Ginny asked with a nervous voice

"To talk."Tom said

"Now when you say 'talk', what do you mean, last time........"Ginny started

"NO, we have to talk, when I say 'talk', I mean talk, and you are going to listen, because I am not going to explain this again..........."Tom started, but then he let go of Ginny's arm and pushed her to the wall "Or I will just wait to tell you what I have to say later."

Then he pressed his lips to hers and started to kiss violently.


Chapter 16 ------Those who work together will get together?
Ginny stood in a state of shock as Tom started kissing her, she did not expect it, and it took her a few minutes to comprehend what was going on. When she let the fact that he was now somewhat hurting her go to her mind, she tried to fight the hold he had on her wrist's.

He stopped and gave a confused look.

"No Tom."Ginny said flatly

"Ginevra."Tom hissed

"We aren't even dating!"Ginny yelled in a hushed voice

"That could be arranged....."Tom mumbled

"Sorry Tom, didn't catch that."Ginny said, watching Tom lower his head. He seemed very interested in looking at his shoe's, Ginny noticed

"I said, That could be arranged. If it matters to you."He said

"Your a person with ambition, you usually go ahead with that stuff, what's stopping you?"Ginny asked

"The fact that you have an overly protective older brother who, well, as a friend said 'hes like a bear, don't poke it with a stick, if you do, it attacks.'" Tom said

Ginny then stood in thought. 'I never thought of it like that before, who would of thought, it fits Ron almost perfectly.'

"Go on Tom."Ginny said

"I think what I just said speaks for itself."Tom said bitterly

"Well, you just, sorta kissed me Tom, so this shows that Ron is not always watching."Ginny said

"I realize this Ginevra."Tom said

"I have to go Tom."Ginny then said, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Leaving so soon?"He said "You just got here."

"Tom..."Ginny said

"Can we at least work on the potions project?"Tom asked

"Fine."Ginny said

"Good. Come with me Ginevra."Tom said

Ginny followed, well, more was be guided by Tom, who was pulling her by the wrist.


Tom looked behind him, to see Ginny trying to keep up with him, he inwardly smirked, and started walking at a slower pace, which he could tell Ginny appreciated. He then pulled her down another hall, and turned a right. He looked in back of him to see a confused look on Ginny's face, and then said "It's a short cut to the common room, Ginevra, you most likely have never had interest in coming down these halls."

"Why is it that you insist on taking me to the Slytherin common room?"Ginny asked

Tom just smirked

"Tom. Just answer the question!"Ginny said

"I don't see any need, it's not really going to be the most important answer you ever get."Tom said

"You really live up to your last name sometimes."Ginny hissed

Tom just frowned, and told her "I hate my last name."

"Sorry......I....."Ginny started

"Its OK. Just.......dont let it happen again, or else."Tom said darkly, inwardly smirking at the terrified look Ginny gave.

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes, when finally Tom saw the trap door, leading into the common room. He whispered the password, and the door flew open.

"Ladies first."Tom then said

"Thank you."Ginny said walking down the steps followed by Tom.


Ginny looked around the common room, this was her second time there, and she felt nervous. She then looked over to one of the couches and saw Draco sitting talking to Blaise Zabini.The two boys both looked up and starred at her. She felt herself tense up, and almost jumped when Tom put an arm around her waist.

She felt Tom guide her over to one of the couches, and felt him push her down to sit.

"Don't tell me you've lost all free will, I know I haven't used imperious on you, must be a gift now."Tom said, with a chuckle

"Sorry Tom."Ginny then said, looking around

She then looked at Tom who had his wand out, she felt something drop into the pit of her stomach. It looked like the wand was pointed at her, but Zabini, and Malfoy were there, he wouldn't do any unforgivables in front of them, right?

She looked at Tom more, and got an odd look from him, she then heard Tom said "Accio Potions paper"

Ginny let out a sigh of relief.

"Riddly?"Ginny heard Malfoy say

"What?"Tom replied

"Why is the Wea........why is Miss Weasley here?"Draco asked

Ginny almost fell from the couch at that. 'Is Malfoy sick?'

"Ginevra and I have to work on a potion's project together Draco, I hope there is no problem with that."Tom said reading over notes.

"No problem, Riddly."Draco said

"You know, when not in the company of well, others, you could just cal me Riddle. I most confess, I hate being called Riddly."Tom said, handing Ginny some papers

She watched Draco move his eyes over to her, and then heard Tom say "Ginevra knows, and we have already agreed to something, she won't tell. Right Ginevra?"Tom said

"I would never tell Tom.......even if someone had a wand to my head, I promise."Ginny said

She watched Tom grin

"Good girl, now, homework."Tom said

"Alright."She said

"Come on Zabini, don't we have to go bother Potty and co?"Draco said quickly

"Don't you have to?"Blaise said

Ginny watched this

"I'm going to the library."Blaise then said walking away.

"Ginevra......Potions Project."Tom said

Ginny then snapped back, and said "Right."


Tom looked up at a clock in the room. It was close to 2:00.

"Ginevra?"Tom asked

"Hmm?"Ginny replied

"How about we finish this up in, oh I don't know, an hour?"Tom said

"Alright, I can't wait for dinner."Ginny then said

"Me either."Tom replied

Tom had been down with his share of the work, he had owled his older self, and gotten some notes sent to him. He just changed the dates, and updated any information for the potion. He then focused on Ginny.

''Maybe I'll just wait a little while longer to ask her, maybe on the Hogsmeade trip. Luckily Severus so kindly agreed on signing the permission slip for me.' Tom thought

Tom sat in thought for a little while longer, until Ginny asked "Tom, could we take a break and get a drink?"

Tom looked at Ginny and said "OK."

He then got up and said "Stay here."

"OK Tom."Ginny said

He then walked to the boys dorm and went to the water container, and got to cups of it. Then walked back.

"Here you go Ginevra."Tom said

"Thanks so much Tom."Ginny said taking a sip

"Need any help?"Tom asked

"Well, I think I got the roots name correct."Ginny said

Tom looked over the paper and said "Yes, its correct."

He watched as Ginny smiled. "A little more, and I'm done."

"Good."Tom said 'Then dinner.'


Soon Ginny finished writing, and the clock read 3:00 pm.

Tom and Ginny walked from the common room after Tom safely put away the work for the project. Then they both headed up to the great hall, and went there separate ways for eating.


Thanks for reading the chapter.

I just got school supplies.....I love hot topic. Harry Potter backpack with the Hogwarts emblem.

Well, I must go make myself lunch, since goldfish crackers are not my favorite meal. Till next update.
