Chapter 19 --------- Monday evening

---------------------

The day had gone by fast, and now Tom sat in thought at the Slytherin table, for dinner. Ginny was being talked to by her brother, Tom noticed, and once and a while Ginny's brother would look over at the Slytherin table, at Tom. Then Tom noticed Ginny turning red, since her brother was getting her mad. 'Don't tell me Dumbledore told the Golden Trio, that I'm Tom Riddle, or that ruins the whole plan.' Tom thought with a sigh. He was at this time, sitting where all the Slytherin fifth years sat, since Draco, and them were skipping dinner.

"Thanks for taking my place for patrolling, I totally forgot."Tom heard a girl say. He turned around and saw Odessa, one of the girls in his year.

"No problem."Tom mumbled 'At least one of us checks the prefect schedule.'

"You look like someone hexed you."The girl said sitting next to Tom.

Tom gave Odessa a flat look. Which caused her to laugh.

"Whats wrong?"Odessa asked

'Nothing, I'm just the young form of the Dark Lord Voldemort, and Dumbledore has found out, and now has told the Golden Trio, other then that, I'm fine."Tom thought 'Yeah, that would go over just great."

"Nothing."Tom said annoyed

"Maybe I could help?"Odessa said

"No one could help with this problem, its nothing. Bye."Tom said quickly getting up, and walking over to Ginny

"Your not hanging Weasley, are you?"Odessa said with a sneer

"And if I am?"Tom said turning around

"They are a bunch of blood traders, hanging around mudbloods, and being friends with half bloods, and liking muggles, its sick!"Odessa said

Tom mentally hexed the girl, he was a half blood, even if he did not admit it, and he was Salazar's heir. This Slytherin girl, had no power to tell him what to do, he was more Slytherin then any one in the house, who were they to tell him not to talk to Ginny, she would be of great help, Tom knew that, and he did not need to explain.

"So your saying, with me associating with a Weasley, it makes me less of a wizard?"Tom said, in a bored tone

"Thats my point."Odessa said brightly

"Now tell me, because you don't like Ginevra, your going to treat me like dirt?"Tom said

"Exact........no, your in my house, I have to treat you better then a Hufflepuff."Odessa said

Tom then just walked away, but making sure he gave Odessa a cold glare.

Ginny sat at the Gryffindor table, with Luna. Luna had a new Quibbler, and was telling Ginny about a creature that was 'discovered' recently.Ginny had felt something tap her on the shoulder, and then something lightly tap her side, which caused her to look to her left, were Tom had one foot on the seat, his arm resting on his knee, and his chin resting on his arm. He had his eyes focused on Ginny, and a smirk planted on his lips.

"Tom."Ginny said

"Why hello Ginny, Luna."Tom said

"Hello Thomas Marcus."Luna said, earning an odd look from Tom.

"Tom, just Tom." Tom said

Luna shrugged and went back to reading, while Ginny took a bite from the macaroni she had. She watched as Tom moved and took a seat next to her, and watched him take the empty glass (which when he touched, filled with pumpkin juice) that was in front of him, and watched as he took his wand out and muttered a spell.

"What did you just do?"Ginny asked

"Oh, transfigured the pumpkin juice into butter bear."Tom said lazily

"I need to learn how to do that."Ginny said

"Sixth year love, sixth year."Tom said

"Tom, how about you teach me that trick early?"Ginny asked

"I would."Tom started "But I don't want to. I don't see what benefits I would get from it."

Ginny just looked at him, and thought 'I knew it.'

"Ginevra, the reason I am at the Gryffindor table, is, well to get you, we have to discuss something important, remember?"Tom said, putting his now empty glass down.

"Alright, I still have to check with Ron."Ginny said getting up

Tom grabbed her by the wrist. "Do you have to check in with your older brother?"

"Yes.....my mum told me I had to."Ginny said, flatly

"Alright, I'll be waiting at the double doors."Tom said, getting up, and walking away.

"Bye Luna, talk to you tomorrow."Ginny said

"Are you and Thomas-Marcus dating?"Luna then asked

"Er....I don't think so."Ginny said

"Oh. Bye Gine......Ginny."Luna said, walking to the Ravenclaw table, and joining a group of students who were talking, and passing a book around.

After that, Ginny walked up to the Golden Trio.

"Ron?"Ginny asked

Ron turned his head, and took a bite from a piece of chicken.

"Talk when your done chewing Ron."Hermione said "Its rather rude."

Ginny laughed "Listen to her Ron."

Ron just gave a look that said shut up, and swallowed.

"What gin?"Ron asked

"I'm going with Tom, I'll be back later."Ginny said

"No your not, you are not going with him."Ron said

"Yeah Gin, don't go with him, there is something not right about him."Harry said

"I'm guessing your not meaning the fact that hes left handed in this case."Ginny said, earning a few odd looks from the little group.

"No Gin. We just don't think its good for you to be around him, thats all."Ron said

"I have to go, I promised him that I would talk to him, we have a project in potions, and we are almost done. I have to go."Ginny said

"The answer is still n........"Ron started

"Go Ginny, school work is the most important thing, Ron, Harry stop being gits, Ginny go finish your potions home work."Hermione said

"You just called Ron and me gits."Harry said

"Because your acting like them."Hermione said

"Er.....well I better be going, bye!"Ginny said, walking faster to get away.

-

"What took you so long?"Tom asked, as Ginny made it to the entrance of the Great Hall.

"Oh you know, I had to say we were finishing our already completed potions work."Ginny said

"I'm proud, your getting better at lying."Tom said

"Funny."Ginny said "So, what are we talking about?"

"Well, the common room is empty. That is where we are going to talk, follow."Tom said walking away

"Tom?"Ginny then asked

"Hmm?"Was Toms reply

"Do I, well have to answer?"Ginny asked

"Of course love. And lucky for you, I always carry around a truth potion."Tom said, grinning at the horrified look Ginny gave him. "Oh but don't worry love, it's not like I'm killing you, a little truth serum never hurt anyone."

"I don't want to play the role of a traitor Tom."Ginny said

"You should have thought about that a long time ago."Tom said

He thought he heard Ginny say "How was I suppose to know?"

"You yourself once told me, you should never trust something that is an inanimate object, who talks, or something along those lines."Tom said, earning a glare from Ginny.

"Wow Tom, I never thought you would sound like my father, after the whole Chamber of Secrets incident."Ginny said, getting a glare from Tom.

Tom and Ginny stopped talking for a few minutes, at that point they had finally made it to the Slytherin house entrance, and Tom was already lifting the trap door, and telling Ginny "ladies first."

---------

Tom told Ginny to take a seat on one of the over-stuffed fancy green chairs that was placed in front of the fire place. He then gave a shout for Draco and Blaise, who came once they were called.

"I thought no one was here Tom."Ginny said

Tom just looked at her, and smirked.

"Well, love. Only the sixth years are here, they choose to eat in the dorms, since they had work, I happened to do that often in sixth year myself."Tom said

"Oh."Was the only answer he got.

"Yes, oh it is Ginevra."Tom said "Zabini, Malfoy, make sure she does not move from that chair."

Then Tom walked away. Ignoring Ginny's pleading eyes. 'Ginevra, you did come on your free will, I never told you, or made you come, now vertisum.'

He entered the fifth year boys dorm, and went over to his bed. He knelt onto the cold stone floor, and used a complicated spell, that was like Aloahmora, but it was harder to get open. He then dug through the neat piles of clothes he had, and also moved some books around, when he got to a fine black marble box. He tapped it twice with his wand, and it opened. Then he rested it on his night table, and looked at the rather small bottles. 'Well, I don't think she would want to drink Basilisk venom, though it would be quite amusing, she is needed alive.' Tom thought, with his famous smirk plastered on his face.

He looked over the tiny bottles, each containing little dose's of the most powerful dark art potions that you could brew, until he picked up a bottle that had a diamond type top. It was crystal clear, with a clear type liquid inside. He could tell it was the potion he would need, and he could also tell, he would need to write to Lucius, to have another potion sent in place.

He closed the box, locked it, and put it back in his trunk, which he locked next. He then picked up the small bottle, and held it gently, so it would not break, and brought it to the room. He there saw Draco trying to have a conversation with Ginny, which seemed hard, since one and a while, Draco would almost revert to calling her Weaslette, but he would catch himself, and just call her Weasley. Tom then walked over, smiled at Ginny, which made him smirk inside, since she blushed crimson, and then he opened the bottle.

"This won't hurt a bit love, not a bit."Tom said, push Ginny's head back, and holding her nose, while he forced the liquid into her mouth. He then grinned again, as he let Ginny go, and watched her move into the chair a bit more, and put her head down. Then to test if it worked he asked "Is your name full name Ginevra Weasley?"

She responded "My full name is Ginevra Molly Weasley."

Tom then said "Do you know anything about the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Yes."Ginny said

"Can you tell me what you know?"

"No."Ginny said

"Why not?" Tom asked

"Because I would get into trouble."Ginny said

"Do you trust me Ginevra?"Tom asked

"Yes."Ginny said, but then that was followed by "No, I don't."

"Which is it Ginny?"Tom asked

"Both."Ginny said

Tom just frowned he had only a little time to do this, so he pulled a piece of parchment out, and his quill, and then ink. Opened the bottle and asked "Ginevra, what do you know about Severus Snape?"

"That he is a potions master at Hogwarts, head of Slytherin house, is a slimy git to us in Gryffindor house, gives unfair amounts of homework, and is a death eater. He is also a......."Ginny said

"He is also a......?"Tom repeated "Ginevra, finish the sentence!"

"He is also a spy."Ginny said

"For who?"Tom asked "I knew he spied, but who's side is he on?"

"He is on Dumbledores side."Ginny said

"Good girl. You will be rewarded, now, don't you feel better getting that bit of information off you shoulders?"Tom said

"No."Ginny replied.

"Zabini."Tom said

"Yes?"Blaise said

"Go get the counter potion so Miss Weasley goes back to normal."Tom said

"Yes sir."Blaise said walking away.

"Malfoy, go back to the dormitory's, your not needed here anymore."Tom said

"Alright."Draco said walking away.

Tom then wrote a quick letter, which, was quite long, front and back parchment, but none the less, was quick for him, and he folded it, went into his robe pocket, and took out an envelope. He then took the quill, and in his neat hand writing, wrote 'To: Lord Voldemort.' But so he would not get caught sending this letter, wrote everything in parsletounge. He would stamp it shut later, and send it out before the sun came up. He put the letter in his pocket, after he let the ink dry, and looked over to Ginny. He moved a little closer to her, and pushed her hair from her face. Then snapped out of thought, when Blaise came holding a small bottle.

"This is the one?"Tom asked

"Yes. I have more, if it is needed. May I go back to studying now?"

"Yes."Tom said, opening the bottle, and watching as he made Ginny drink.

He then listened to Ginny as she said in a whisper "What have I just done?"


Thanks for reading this chapter!

I can't believe I almost have twenty, I'm shocked. I never thought I could write this much.

For chapter twenty, I know I normally don't ask this, but if I get over 4 reviews, I'll update either Sunday or Monday, the earliest!

Thanks again!
