Chapter 1

The Dream

It was still dark outside when Ginny Weasley awoke to the voices of Harry Potter, and her brother, Ron in the kitchen.

Ginny sat up and climbed off of her bed. She quietly opened her door and crept down the hallway to the top of the stairs so she could hear the conversation.

"I just can not understand how you could do that to me, you are supposed to be my best friend" Harry said.

"We have been through this before Harry. I did not do anything to you, she chose me over you. As hard as it is to believe, it happened, so just get over it" Ron replied. He was trying to defend himself against Harry even thought he didn't need to; he had not done anything wrong.

They were fighting again about what had happened with Hermione.

During Ginny's fifth year at Hogwarts she had dated Harry, and at the end of the year after Dumbledore had been killed Harry broke up with her.

Ginny was upset that Harry, the boy she had had a crush on since her first year at Hogwarts, had broken up with her; but was okay with it because Harry had explained why. He said that he was only breaking up with her because he was afraid of what might happen to her if Lord Voldemort found out they were dating. His reason for breaking up with her was not because he did not want to keep dating her. He had said that when Voldemort was gone, that if she still wanted to date him, they could be together again.

Well, Voldemort was gone; Harry, powered by his rage toward the dark wizard and aided by many other powerful witches and wizards, had defeated him, but Harry did not keep his promise to Ginny. When Voldemort was gone, Harry found himself a new girlfriend, Hermione.

It was never very clear why they had gotten together, but they did and Ginny was crushed. Luckily, Harry got a taste of how Ginny felt because shortly after Hermione and his relationship began, it ended. The main cause, Ron.

Ron took it hard that his two best friends were dating. Not because he felt left out, but because he was jealous. He was jealous that Harry always got so many girls and he did not, but most of all, he was jealous that the girl this time, was Hermione.

Ron did not keep his feelings a secret and Hermione could not bear to see him like that.

Hermione had never really felt anything for Harry, and Ginny doubted Harry felt anything for Hermione either. Hermione broke up with Harry and shortly after started dating Ron.

This was what started the fights. It wasn't that Harry wanted Hermione back; he just did not want Ron to have her. Defeating Voldemort had changed him. He could not stand losing, even when he did not really care to win.

Anyway, Harry's hasty decision to not return to Hogwarts for his seventh year so he could defeat Voldemort did not apply anymore, so Harry, Ron, and Hermione were going back to Hogwarts.

Ginny listened to the conversation, but soon realized that it was going the same way as every other one of their fights so she went back to her room.

She lay in bed and let her mind wander.

She could not wait for the school term to begin. Then she could finally get out of the house and away from Harry and Ron's constant arguments. She would be able to be with her own friends, who did not know what had happened to her over the summer, and would not always look at her with sympathy. She was over what had happened and she could not stand that everyone still felt sorry for her.

She closed her eyes and let sleep take over.

She opened her eyes; she was in a cold, dark room.

She tried to remember how she got there, and could recall a face, it was a face of evil. The face of the person who had insulted her, tried to kill her, and now had kidnapped her. She shuddered to think what he would do next.

She wanted nothing but to see Harry. She wanted him to come and save her. She knew he would; she just did not know when. He had to save her; if for no other reason, he needed the glory.

She looked down at the chains on her arms. She wanted to scream but she could not make any sound. There was no escape; she searched her mind for anything to get her out of this but came up with nothing.

She looked around wildly for anything she could use but the room was empty.

She searched for her wand, but it was not there, the person who kidnapped her must have taken it.

A voice spoke, "Calm down you foolish girl, this is your own fault. You made your choice and now you must deal with the consequences."

"NO!" She screamed finding her voice; she tried to free herself from the chains that held her even though she knew it would do no good.

"Do not try to get away, you will just cause yourself more pain."

She avoided looking at his face; she could not bear to look into his cold eyes.

"If you had not had anything to do with Harry Potter then you would be home and safe right now. Say, where is Harry Potter anyway? I thought he would have at least started looking for you by now."

"Just let me go!" Ginny said.

"Oh no, I have other plans for you."

The person who was talking came over to her and touched her shoulder sending shivers down her back.

"Are you scared right now?"

She did not know what to do, without thinking she nodded her head.

"Good, you should be" he said, and then-.

Ginny woke up drenched in sweat screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Ginny dear, calm down it was just a dream" Ginny heard the caring voice of her mother, Molly Weasley.

Ginny was shaking when she looked up at the door and saw that she had woken up everyone in the house.

Her father, Arthur Weasley, Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all standing in her room looking at her with concern.

"It wasn't a dream" Ginny said, "It was a nightmare." Now that she was awake she recognized what had happened in her dream. It was on the day that Harry had defeated Lord Voldemort. A death eater had captured Ginny. She did not know what happened had still bothered her so much. She was sure that she was over it. Of course someone does not just get over a thing like that.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

For a moment Ginny was touched by his concern, but remembered what had happened to her because he was too busy shagging Hermione to help her and quickly moved onto emotions very different than touched.

"It was just what happened that day that, well you know" Ginny said.

"Oh" Harry said with guilt on his face, "Well-."

Ginny cut him off, "Really everyone I am fine, I would like to be alone right now."

"Of course dear" Molly said, she stood up and shuffled everyone out of the room.

Ginny lay back down on her bed, terrified to go back to sleep for fear that she would relive what had happened next. She wanted even more to get to Hogwarts soon. She hoped that the two days before she could board the Hogwarts Express would pass quickly.

"Until then" she thought, "I probably won't get much sleep."
