One year later

Ginny would be eight soon. She knew it because her birthday was one week after Ron's and just today, he received a beautiful broom. She was so jealous. He didn't even allow her to try it. It's why she was going to do it tonight. She slowly crept down the stairs. She knew it was risky because if someone found her… she didn't want to think about the consequences. It's why she had waited until one in the morning, sure that everyone would be asleep by then. However not everything went as planned. There was light under her parent's bedroom door! It means they were still up! Scared of being found, Ginny was all for going back to bed, but then she heard voices. Curious, she approached their door silently.

"We can't keep it like that Arthur! We're on our last galleons! It was a fool's idea to buy this broom for Ron! Now we won't be offering anything to Ginny, and we put our future in danger!"

Ginny's heart leapt in her chest. What was going on in here?

"Molly dear, everything went well 'til today. Albus' been helping us, He already offered us the places of our children in Hogwarts and…"

"Yes! That was very nice of him! But we can't count on him for everything! Who's going to pay for our everyday life? We have seven children for heaven sake! Your job isn't offering enough money!"

"You know how I feel about this Molly, we 're not going down that road again!"

"Yeah, I know! And sometimes I wonder if I should have listened to Muriel! You know what she said the day of our weeding? "You have chosen a life of misery linking yourself to this peasant! You will soon regret it!""

"Do you believe in her words now Molly? Would you have chosen a rich marriage over a loving one as your family asked of you? Do you regret marrying a peasant as she lovely put it?"

Ginny could tell her dad was beginning to be very upset now. She couldn't believe it was money that brought her parents to quarrel each other like that. She faintly heard her mother answer.

"I'm sorry Arthur. It wasn't my intention to hurt you. It's just that I want the best for our family and it disheartens me to see us to this state. Maybe I should find a small job myself… "

A job? Why would her mother work? Her mother was always with them! What were they going to be without their mum? Nobody would be here to protect her from her brothers! Plus, her mom out of the house would maybe mean someone will have to watch over them during the day. And if it was Aunt Muriel? Ginny shuddered at the thought. Aunt Muriel was terrible, she always criticized her, saying she ate too much and that she was never sitting straight. Her mind in deep thought after what she had heard, and sensing her parent's discussion drawing to a close, she preferred to go to bed. She nearly forgot to avoid the creaking step as she was too distracted by what she had heard.

Once in her bed, she began to think over what she overheard. If she resumed, they needed money, and her mother wanted to work. She thought very hard to find a solution to both problems. Not finding any and beginning to drift off to sleep, she revisited all her evening into her head. She had taken revenge on Ron by putting spiders in his bed, and her brother had shrieked louder than she had ever heard him, which of course had brought her mother's attention. The rest was history. She smiled over this new fond memory.

She had then gone to bed, without forgetting to check her money before, which was still in her top drawer, she never got rid of it after the man had given it to her, even as it did not made sense to her as it was muggle money, well, no matter anyway…But wait! HER MONEY! That was the solution! The man had given her money over what he had done right? Even if it hurt a lot! She remembered she ached a whole week afterwards, she had even dried blood on her tights even if she did not understand why it was here.

Maybe, maybe she could work in her mother's place! Ask people if they wanted to do the same thing than with the man over some money? She needed a way to go back to the town without her family knowing because they sure wouldn't allow a seven-year-old girl to work in a muggle town all by herself! What was called this job anyway? It had seemed to please the man to do… to do… she couldn't even imagine it in her mind, but if it was for her family's well-being, she could suffer a bit? Then she will earn lots and lots of money! And muggle money could transform in wizard money! Everything was perfect. Well, in her seven-year old mind it was anyway. Relieved, Ginny rapidly fell asleep.

The next morning, an air of excitement vibrated around her. She HAD a solution! Unfortunately, all her family wasn't in the same mood. Ron was still vexed about the spiders, and the air was tense around her parents. It smelled of another argument soon, and all the children wanted to avoid it. Ron suddenly said he was going on his broom outside. Everyone found an excuse to go out the room their parents were occupying. But not Ginny. Ginny was too struck to move. Of course! Her brother's broom! It was almost too easy. She will sneak out at night on her brother's broom! She had decided to go to town at night, even if her mother had told her the night was dangerous, but she couldn't really sneak away during the day when her brothers will easily report that she left. She wanted to say to her parent not to worry, but she reminded herself that all of this was secret. Nobody will know. It will be her secret quest, she will be her parent's knight in shinning armour. Even Harry Potter, whose stories her mother had been recounting her for years, would be impressed!

First, she worried how she was going to find the same town, a year later, and with few memories to know how to get there. Then she wondered who would employ her, because surely nobody would employ a small girl all alone in the streets at night, but in the end, everything went quite smoothly.

Her mother had put her early to bed, and Ginny had waited calmly until she could hear her father's snore from her parents' bedroom downstairs to slowly get out of bed and down in the garden. She was still fighting back sleep, as it was really late for a seven-year-old to be awake. But she was excited for what was about to come, she was about to sneak out of the house while everyone was sleeping! And everyone knows children love to do naughty things. She did not make any noise, and quickly run to the broom shed and took Ron's broom. Then, she was up in the air, at about 1300 feet she had a good view of her neighbourhood, and the muggle town was easily recognizable with the traffic lights that tore through the darkness of the sky.

Once arrived in town, she went to the first gathering of house she saw, and as she was hiding the broom, she saw a man wandering alone in what she recognized was the centre of the town. She knew that building there, it was the shopping centre they had been to!

Ginny was sure he knew where she could find other men like the first who would pay for doing this thing to her body he had enjoyed. So, she followed him, wondering where he was going. He walked for a long time, leading her to a less crowded area, which seemed inhabited. Ginny was starting to be very tired, so she decided to directly go and ask her question to the man. She run to his level and called after him.

"Mister, mister! Wait! I would like to ask you something!"

"What are you doing here little lady? And where are your parents?"

"I am here alone. I am looking for someone. You see my parents, they need money, and last year well there was this man who did this strange thing to my body, and it hurt. But then he gave me money and so I want to find somebody to do the same thing so that I get money you understand?"

Ginny was rambling, but she was suddenly afraid of the look the man was giving her. It looked like the big bad wolf had found little red riding hood and was eating her alive. Ginny was not sure it had been a good idea to talk to this man. Nonetheless, he answered.

"I see what you mean. It is complicated, yes, when your parents have no more money. I may have a solution. You are sure you are alone?"

"Hum, yes sir. It is a surprise you see."

The man was laughing now.

"A surprise?"

"Yes, so then I give money to my parents and they don't know where it was from. I will be the secret knight!"

"Tell me secret knight, how old are you? What's your name?"

"I'm Ginny, and I'm seven! But you know I can work even if I am seven, I'm a big girl"

"I can see that. Follow me Ginny. I have what you ask."

"Really?"

Ginny followed him into a small alley poorly lit, and the man opened the door to the last house of that alley. He then put the lights on, and up close and with the light Ginny could see more of the man. He was a bit overweight, but it was hidden by his large jacket. He had bright green eyes, brown hairs and an earring on his left ear. He turned towards her and started speaking.

"You know what is going to happen now, right? I am going to do the same thing the other man did to you. I promise I will make it so it does not hurt much."

There was no backtracking now. But Ginny only felt dread. And if it hurts worse than last time? She did not know who that man was. She was all alone in his house. She couldn't run. Time to get on with it. She awaited his instructions.

"Now you can undress, see, get out of your pyjamas, remove your knickers and wait for me on the bed over there."

She did as he asked and waited on the bed naked. Not long after he was there, naked as well. It was the first time Ginny saw a man completely naked. She had seen her brothers of course, still took her baths with Ron, but it wasn't the same thing. This man was a giant, and he towered over her. This thing between his legs, she did not know. She was afraid of it. Was that huge ugly thing he was going to put in her?

She felt dirty by the way the man was gazing at her body. But all he said was:

"You have a beautiful body, perfect for such a beautiful girl"

And then was on the bed with her and started touching her. Ginny was paralysed. He explained everything he was doing, and when came the crucial moment, he told her it was very important she was relaxed. He made her laugh with a small joke, and then put is cock into her folds. It hurt less than last time, but still it felt odd. The most triumphal side of it was that the man gave her a lot of money in the end. Well, she didn't really know because she was no expert in muggle money, but it seemed a lot. He told her in the end he was very satisfied. When she said she would certainly be around next night, he simply smiled. But it was not a normal smile. His smile had put every hair on her body up, and she had felt a shiver ran down her back. In her mind, she had found a good man as he made her learn in the same time. He had tried to make her share the pleasure. However, she couldn't reach it yet because she was still not developed enough. He had explained this to her. His smile made her almost regret what she had begun with him. But she had made a promise to herself, so she continued.

Rape and child abuse are horrible crimes. I feel horrible writing about that. And as a review said, I agree, it is horrible and she shouldn't have to do that. But it was an idea that popped in my head, and even if it is horrible, it is necessary to understand where Ginny comes from (d'où je viens in french)
