*~+~* (*~+~* is kindly taken from another story)
Ginny shivered. This manor gave her the creeps. Hermione had told Ginny tales of the huge manor but Ginny hadn't believed all of them.
It was the first day of the holidays, and Hermione had given Ginny a map to go check out the place. After all, it's easier to find your way around when you've been there yourself.
Sighing, she gathered her cloak around her small body and headed off to the library. She was sure to find some interesting things there.
*~+~*
When Ginny finally found the library, she was immediately shocked. The library was ten times bigger than the one at Hogwarts, and was packed from ceiling to floor with books.
Ginny walked around and took a book out and started to read. Glancing at the title, she read 'Ancient Prophecy Interpreting.' Frowning, she put the book back onto the shelf and pulled another one out. It was a book about Prophecies, again.
Sighing, Ginny sat down and began to read.
Contents *Introduction-pg 1 *Prophecies of darkness-pg 3 *Prophecies about plagues etc.-pg 8 *Predictions of wars etc.-pg 14 *Foretelling of future kings/queens-pg 19 *Unknown language prophecies-pg 26
'Ancient Prophecies are often abstract and have parts missing. It is difficult to decipher ancient prophecies because they often include certain people or items that are not in existence. This confuses many modern day wizard/witch seers. As well as this, prophecies are often discarded, referred to as unbelievable or defect. . .'
Ginny read on, absorbing all the information. She was reading for about 10 minutes, when Hermione walked into the library and said two words that sent chills up Ginny's spine.
"It's time."
*~+~*
Hermione bit her lip as she watched Draco receive the mark. Wincing, she watched as Voldemort placed a finger on the exact spot of the new mark.
"You are brave. Everyone who has received the mark has always screamed or at least flinched." Voldemort said softly.
"That is high praises for me indeed, my lord." Draco said, bowing low.
Voldemort nodded and beckoned for Hermione to step forward.
Hermione obediently stepped forward and reached for her left sleeve. Voldemort stopped her.
"Not on your arm. Draco, you and Miss. Weasley shall be receiving marks on your back, as Draco has done."
Hermione steeled herself and moved her hair so Voldemort would have access to her back. Bracing the impact, Hermione felt a burning sensation on her back just below the edge of the robe. Willing herself not to scream in pain, Hermione lifted her chin defiantly as the burning slowly subsided.
"Very impressive Miss. Avery." Voldemort said quietly. "Just as impressive as Mr. Malfoy if not more."
Hermione sparkled with delight. "Thank you, my lord. I am greatly honoured."
Hermione stepped back, letting her hair fall down again. Moving beside Draco she rubbed his back comfortingly and leaned her head against his shoulder.
"I hope Ginny can handle this." Hermione whispered quietly.
"She can and will. Ginny has a will of steel. Almost as stubborn as you are." Draco teased gently.
Hermione glared reproachfully at Draco but immediately hushed as Ginny stepped forward and moved her hair.
Voldemort's eyes glittered maliciously. He slowly made circles with his finger upon the place where Ginny's mark was to be. Gradually a grey mark was distinguishable. Ginny had not made a single sound.
A minute passed and Voldemort was finished. Ginny had only flinched once, when his cold finger was placed upon her warm skin.
Hermione was impressed. She hadn't thought Ginny could hold her own when the Dark Lord marked her. Smiling, Hermione gathered Ginny up in her arms, noticing how the younger girl was trembling slightly.
"You did wonderfully Ginny. Just make sure no one suspects you. We can't have anyone know. Not even Ron, when he gets initiated. Someone might betray you." Hermione said affectionately.
Ginny nodded and the three left the initiation room.
*~+~*
Hermione sat up, marveling the tattoo-like mark through a mirror. The intricacy and complexity of the snake was amazing and the details were quite complicated.
Smiling to herself, Hermione dropped her hair down and walked over to the four-poster bed and fell onto it happily. She had power, intellect, was two- timing both sides of the game, and her life was great.
Smirking, she thought about the following day, where she would participate in the first Dark Revel of her life. Sighing, she got up and went down to the dining room for dinner.
*~+~*
Ginny felt sleepy and she just wanted to lie down and have a good nap, but due to the fiery ache on her back, it was impossible. Groaning, she went off to the library, to continue reading the interesting book she had found earlier.
Five minutes later, Ginny was hopelessly lost and had no idea where she was. Spinning around, she spotted a cherry oak door that was practically screaming 'OPEN ME!' Smiling, Ginny reached for the doorknob.
Hesitating slightly, Ginny thrust the door open vigorously. Stepping in cautiously, Ginny peered about the strange room. Grinning, she spotted a welcoming armchair and a crackling fire.
Ginny sank into the chair gratefully. It was softer than anything she had sat on before, and it seemed to quiver and adjust to Ginny's form.
Sighing Ginny decided that if this was what she could find then so be it! She sat watching the flames dance and flicker for several minutes before she began to tire of the room.
"I wish I could read that Prophecy book." Ginny thought glumly. "It would give something to do."
Almost immediately a book began to appear out of thin air.
Ginny's eyes lit up immediately.
"Wicked!" Ginny purred happily as she reached for the book.
Leaning back, she started to read a prophecy about the Dark Lord.
'The Dark Lord will rise again, after a peace between two wars. He will rise, stronger than ever with the aid of two protégées. If he discovers both children, for that is what they shall be, his rise will be rapid and his power complete. If, however, one joins his ranks and the other doesn't, the battle will be long and bloody. The two protégées power combined will create a force so powerful that together none can oppose them.'
Ginny stopped dead in her tracks. Could this mean what she thought it did?
Shaking her head slightly, she read on.
'These two protégées will have special powers. One will have the gift of seeing, the other the ability to conjure things with a thought and both will be able to master any known and unknown language as well as wandless magic and unaided flight. These powers will not show themselves too willingly, and can only be brought out during intense physical or emotional pain. The future of the wizarding world hangs on balance in these two children, and their paths are inexorably intertwined.'
Ginny widened her eyes and dropped the book as if she had been burnt by it. If this meant what she thought it did then. . . Suddenly the door creaked open.
*~+~*
Hermione tapped her foot impatiently for Ginny to arrive at the dinner table. Sighing, she decided to go looking for the girl before she got into trouble.
Hermione stood up and made to leave when Draco pulled her back down.
"What is it Draco?" Hermione hissed.
"Where do you think you're going?" he hissed straight back.
"Ginny isn't here. I'm worried about her. She's important to me." Hermione said huffily.
"Well you'll never find her without a map. Here." Draco shoved a map into Hermione's hands.
"It's like Potty's map, except it's one of Malfoy Manor." Draco explained.
"Thanks Dragon." Hermione kissed Draco lightly on the cheek and was about to leave when yet again she was pulled down.
"What is it Draco?" Hermione snapped irritably.
"Let me see that map." Draco said softly.
Hermione handed the map over to find Draco gaping openly.
"How the fuck did she find that room?" Draco muttered to himself.
"What is it Draco?" Hermione asked concernedly.
"Ginny is in the room of requirement!" Draco said, a look of shock plastered across the face.
*~+~*
Hermione raced down the corridor willing herself not to panic. If Ginny was still thinking about the mark, she could be in great danger!
Skidding to a halt, she stopped at a cherry oak door that she had never seen before. Hermione opened the door cautiously, peeking around the door.
"Ginny!" she sighed with relief. "Come on! It's dinner time! Why do you look like someone has slapped you across the face?" Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed Ginny's hand. "Come on!"
"What? Oh yes, dinner. Right. I'm coming." Ginny said absentmindedly.
"Honestly Ginny. I was scared to death when I found out you were in the room of requirement! If you were still thinking about the dark mark something dreadful could've happened."
"Whatever. Let's go. I'm hungry." Ginny said, smiling slightly.
"Just don't do that again!"
*~+~*
Ron paced around his room, muttering obscenities under his breath.
"Ron, she isn't going to drop dead because she's at Malfoy Manor. Besides, Hermione is with her, and she treats Ginny like a sister. Hermione won't let Ginny come to harm. Although I don't see why she should even help Ginny." Harry said huffily.
"Harry, I don't think you understand the situation. My little sister is in the hands of Malfoy's and without any protection whatsoever. She could be raped, or tortured, or abused, or insulted, or killed!" Ron shuddered involuntarily.
"Shut up Ron! I'm getting sick of your pacing and muttering. You've been doing that for over an hour, and it's not going to help! You're beginning to remind me of Professor Umbridge actually."
Ron stopped. "DON'T COMPARE ME WITH THAT OLD HAG!"
"Whatever Ron. Just sit down and deal with the fact that Ginny is there and we can't force her to come here." Harry said irritably.
"Fine, fine. I just don't like this. It feels bad." Ron said, sighing in defeat.
*~+~*
Draco made his way up to his room. It had been a long day, and his father had decided tomorrow Draco and Hermione and Ginny would go through their first tests of loyalty (the Dark Revel is after it).
In other words, it meant various means of torture to show that they would endure pain for the Dark Lord, and the such. Draco was used to this sort of thing, but he wasn't quite sure about Hermione and he knew Ginny never experienced things like this.
Sighing, he collapsed onto his bed and fell a sleep, dreaming of the Dark Mark and what was to come.
*~Dream~*
Two children raced down to the Slytherin common room. They could be no older than 11, and they looked like brother and sister.
They left behind a red-faced girl that looked remarkably like Pansy.
*^*^*
A girl stood now, in the entrance hall of a grand mansion, only much bigger. She looked like she was 17 or 18. She was blonde and beautiful.
A brown-haired boy entered and greeted the girl. Muttered something in French and abruptly changed to English.
"I suppose it would be better if spoke English then?"
"That's much better, thank you."
"What's your name?"
"Gabrielle Simmons."
"'Tis a beautiful name for a beautiful lady."
The girl blushed.
"What's your name?"
"Jason Burlingham."
*~End of Dream~*
Draco woke up abruptly, wondering what on earth was that about?
*~+~*
A/N: Mwahahahahahahahaha! Have you figured things out? Well, I just wanted to tell you all, that I have decided on a few things.
First, I'm going to have a sequel, and a trilogy. Then a fourth one, and I'm not sure about it beyond that. Well anyway, that's all I wanted to tell you.
Second, I would like to recommend some stories for you all.
The Gilded Lily-L/J.
Reading your soul-D/H.
Magical Mysticism-D/G. They are all pretty good, and I'll recommend some more later.
Cya later!
