Infected

Chapter 1 – Epiphany

"Bugger…"

"…shit…"

"…and bloody fucking hell…"

So here was the answer to all the thoughts and questioning she had been doing after the events of last year. All come in the shape of one creature, a snake to be more exact. She could understand it. It had said good morning.

Now you might think what's the big deal; it's a rare gift but she comes from an old pureblood family so it's possible. The glitch came in the fact that last year Fred and George had put a snake in her bed and while she hadn't screamed the house down like they expected she had most definitely not been able to talk to it.

This meant that in the last year something had happened to make her a parselmouth and she knew exactly what.

When Riddle had finally emerged from the diary that had possessed her he had been a parselmouth. He had sucked out all her energy to regain his body but when the diary was destroyed it all came flooding back, apparently bringing him with it. And the boy-who-lived-despite-everyone-else's-best-efforts had of course failed to notice. Typical she thought And there I go again; getting mad with people I ought to like, especially Harry. Though I suppose if I actually now have part of Voldemort in me it follows.

Ginny, had noticed her thinking changing becoming somehow less innocent and kind. She had also noticed any pranks she pulled pushed the boundaries of what was seen as acceptable or even funny to anyone but her. In addition anyone one who took her quiet behavior for weakness to be exploited found her revenge tended to be both powerful and walking very close to what were considered dark arts.

But coming back to the issue at hand Ginny had realized there had been a piece of Voldemort in that diary. It followed then that he could not have been fully defeated all those years ago if not all of him had been there at the time. Which meant that Harry (it was obvious it would be him) would have to fight him again one day and destroy all the other pieces of him.

Which now included her.

So you see the reason for all the cursing.
