Okay, first of all, thank everyone who read and reviewed the last chapter of my story, I think there were 28 reviews and a lot of readers. Secondly, I want to tell you that unless something drastic happens and I go off on a totally different wavelength, there will be about 20 chapters in this story, and there may or may not be an epilogue, depending on how the last chapter ends. So without further ado, here's chapter 15.
Chapter Fifteen: Part One
Ginny had left dinner early, leaving Draco to talk with Pansy and Blaise, quite proud of herself that she had set Blaise and Pansy up. I should start a matchmaking service,she thought. I didn't even know they liked each other. Lucky guess.
She maneuvered through the hallways, heading for the dormitory that she was still sharing with Draco, only, she didn't mind so much now because he was her boyfriend, and he was more than just her snogging partner, they had become good friends, sort of united by the visions that they both were privy to.
She quickly entered the rooms and sat down on the couch near the door, holding the box that had been given to her by the three Slytherin sixth years. She inspected the box with a keen eye, as if looking to find a blemish, or something that would give her a clue as to where it came from.
It was obviously very old, maybe a family heirloom? Some of the emeralds across the lid were cracked, showing that maybe it had led a hard life, and that it was not really cared for by whoever owned it, maybe the parents of one of the three girls. What worried Ginny, however, was that the girls seemed to know a lot about her and Draco, and what was going on in their lives together. She knew that nobody else had had the same visions as her and Draco, yet these three girls seemed to know about it.
The situation unnerved her, because it was like Tom Riddle all over again. For all she knew, Theodora Pinkett, Yuno Haligli, and Marcia Millers didn't even exist, and the three girls who had delivered the box to her were under the Imperious curse or something weird. They didn't look like they were being forced to do anything, though, and if anybody knew how to throw off the Imperious curse, besides Harry, it would be somebody in Slytherin. She resolved to ask Draco about the box when he came back to the room. Until then, she would keep the box closed, and would not write a letter back to the girls.
She stood up and put the box in a corner that was relatively far away from the couch, but still within seeing range, and retrieved her book bag. Better get started on those essays. Two hours later, Ginny was still working on her potions essay, and Draco still had not returned to the dormitory.
The Oriyahh potion is used for a wide range of things. It can be used to cure illnesses that occur in worm, (though I don't know why you would want to cure a worm, stupid slimy, slithery creatures. If you cut them in half, then there are two! Eww), and they also cure illnesses in bats, (another weird animal, who wants to cure them? All they do is 'eek, eek, eek'). This potion is made out of eels toes (Heh! Eels don't have toes!), a mermaid hair, several redcap droppings (Ye Gods, are you kidding me?), and finally, sixteen owl feathers, (poor owl, I would hate to be plucked).Ginny sighed, looking at her paper. This wouldn't do, she was quite doubtful that Snape would appreciate the comments that were spread throughout the first paragraph, and she was supposed to have three scrolls!
