A/N sorry its taken so long. I've been a bit busy. Thank you so much those of you who have reviewed. This is just REALLY short, to show I haven't forgotten about my story. I will continue ONCE I have more reviews.
Nothing's changed
Ginny threw herself off the sofa and scrambled to the door, shaking off any traces of sleep and trying not to think what would happen if all the Slytherin's suddenly reappeared.
She threw open the dungeon door, Draco following her.
"Look, you stay here, I'm going to get back to the library then go to …"
He never heard what she was going to do as a voice interrupted them from behind, which sent shivers down his spine.
"My, how sweet…Malfoy and Weasley. What a new development," Snape sneered.
Ginny and Draco whipped their wands out of their pockets in a lightening fast reaction, ready to blast Snape to oblivion while they had the chance. However, Snape was prepared, muttered expelliarmus and the wands flew into his hand.
"You're too late. Hmm, one minute and there will be nothing that you can do."
Draco stared at him with all the hate he could muster. "Give us our wands back, Professor, or my father will have something to say."
"I don't think so. Your father wouldn't want anything coming between him and his plan. He has no need for you." Draco didn't move an inch.
"I wouldn't be so sure. He's just seen me and would like me to watch the corridors tonight, to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens before tomorrow's … big bang." Draco said all this with such conviction that Snape seemed to sway uncertainly, not sure what to believe. He was thrown by how much the boy seemed to know.
Meanwhile Ginny had inched over to the side of the corridor and had picked up a large metal goblet with a gold serpent wound around the base.
"You are lying." Snape announced, glancing over at Ginny just as the heavy goblet sailed through the air towards him. He jumped to the side just as the goblet missed his head by inches and fell crashing to the floor.
At the same instant the castle seemed to come alive and voices rang out from not far away around the corner. Snape sprang into action,
"Obliviate" He shouted two violet streams of light hit Draco and Ginny in the chest before they could even react. They shook their heads and seemed to notice where they were for the first time and frowned.
"Go back to your dorms children as it is getting late. Ten points from Slytherin and Gryffindor and being out of bed at this hour." He sneered at them.
Ginny collected herself and turned to glare at Draco, her brain remembering how he had just tricked her into coming down here claiming he had just cursed Harry and left him here.
She turned to run to the staircase to go up to bed,
"Your wand Miss Weasley," Snape said, smirking, holding it out to her. "I don't want to see it out in the corridor again or I shall have to confiscate it." She took it and left for Gryffindor, her mind trying to sort out a cloud of confusion, but never quite managing to focus on her recent memorys.
