Chapter Fifteen – Sad Melody

Ginny locked herself in the bathroom that was attached to their room; craving privacy so she could cry out all the pain she had inside. Tom had woken up to loud sobs coming from the locked door. He pleaded with his wife to come out but her being the suborn person she was ignored him after yelling a very long list of profanities. Whenever he came back into the room he could hear her voice quietly singing a muggle song, something that her father liked to listen to.

Ginny sang the sad song called "Wake Me Up When September Ends" to herself, hoping the pain would lessen.

"Summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

As my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends"

The song gave Tom the creeps, its words so sad and desperate. He understood why Ginny was hurting but there was nothing he could do. Being the Dark Lord had standards, ones that he had to uphold. How would it look if he let the Order live peacefully and gain power to destroy him when he could kill them first?

Excepting that she needed time to get over it Tom left her to her singing and took a walk, where he pondered his wife. He still couldn't understand why she had saved him. He was almost dead for a part of his soul was shattered; yet she protected him, even after he killed her brother. It all made no sense.

Deciding not to dwell on it Tom walked by the tree Harry lay sleeping at. Not paying attention to his surroundings Tom passed Harry without seeing him. Harry on the other hand was awoken by the crunching of leaves and opened his eyes to see Tom briskly walk by him. Suppressing a gasp Harry watched as his enemy walked away without seeing him.

Thanking who ever it was that was watching out for him, Harry slowly got up and put his broom over his shoulder. The walk would help him wake up and give him time to plan his rescue mission.

After twenty minutes of walking Harry saw the castle come into view. With a plan in mind Harry mounted his broom and swiftly rose up above the trees. From there he surveyed the castle for guards and entrances. It seemed as though one guard was watching the main entrance, making his way into the castle easier then he thought. Grabbing a clear, water like fabric from his back pocket, Harry pulled on the invisibility cloak and completely covered himself.

Flying close to the ground Harry made his way to the guard on duty, to find the man passed out with a large firewhiskey bottle empty in his hand. With a large smile on his face he opened the creaky door slowly. Once big enough to squeeze through Harry went in.

Wondering where to look first Harry aimlessly wandered down halls, looking for signs of Ginny. After a long search with no results Harry found himself once again in the main hall where he started.

Letting out a large sigh Harry stood there wondering what to do next. That was when he heard voices beyond the door, yelling.

"How dare you fall asleep on the job! And drinking none the less!"

"I'm so sorry My Lord, it won't happen again." The man said in a quivering voice.

"Voldemort." Harry whispered.

"You said that last time. For your incompetence…"

Harry was unable to hear the ending of the sentence but it must have been horrible because the man began to plead.

"Anything but that! Have mercy!"

"I have no mercy. Avada Kedavra!"

Harry stood still as he waited to see what happened next. He hadn't expected Voldemort to speed walk into the castle and mutter to himself, "I'm surrounded by idiots."

Thinking that Voldemort might be on his way to see Ginny Harry trailed behind at a safe distance. Voldemort walked for a long time, going down hallways and secret passages that Harry barely got through. Finally the young Voldemort stopped next to a painting of a red haired angle. Leaning in he whispered "Ginny".

Momentarily shocked Harry ran into the room right as the door closed. He went to move to a corner but found his cloak to be stuck in the door. Feeling hopeless Harry tugged on the damn thing and tried to get it free, but no matter what he did the cloak remained where it was.

While Harry struggled to undo the mess he was in, Tom ventured a try at getting Ginny to leave the bathroom, as it was night and she hadn't eaten all day.

"Gin, you still in there?"

"Yeah." Ginny said in a coarse voice.

"Come on out, we'll have a nice dinner."

"I don't want to Tom."

"You haven't eaten all day! Now if you don't come out on your own free will I will be forced to break the door down."

Giggles were heard from behind the locked door. Tom, not believing his ears pushed himself against the door to hear better.

The door swung open making Tom land on top of his unsuspecting wife.

"What the…" Tom said while falling.

The two landed in a heap of bodies. Tom looked down at the woman below him and smiled. Ginny stared at Tom for a few seconds before turning away from his powerful stare.

"God your beautiful." Tom said gently into Ginny's ear. The tickling sensation caught her off guard and she snapped her head to look at him. Taking the opportunity Tom let his lips land on his wife's succulent ones. The innocent kiss became powerful and hungry. Tongues battled for control, hands wandered over the others body, and moans and groans came from the two.

"Tom!" Ginny moaned.

Tom felt his body become warm when she said his name and noticing things were right he picked Ginny up and lightly tossed her on his big bed. Ginny giggled as she fell. Looking through lustful eyes Ginny watched Tom climb onto their bed.

Harry watched horrified as he saw his best friends sister make moves on her husband, the Dark Lord. He became more desperate to get away when Ginny's moans became more frequent. With a finally tug the cloak came free from its containment. Knowing he couldn't leave now, Harry walked into the bathroom and shut the door, then cast a spell on it to block all sounds.

"That is something I don't want to see." He said while rubbing his tired eyes. "I hope this isn't a long night."
