Chapter 6

Betrayal

Ginny stood there, as she watched the anger in Draco's face. How could he have done this to her! She thought that they were becoming friends. How did he know? How could he have known about her? Dumbledore said that she was safe, that she didn't need to hide as long as she was in Hogwarts. She heard Draco yell something at her, with such urgency, but she had too much going on in her mind. She felt a blinding pain start in her head, and knew that he was trying to disarm her. She wasn't going to let that happen, she was going to fight. She placed both of her hands on either side of her face, covering her ears, as to try to focus all of her energy. They would never get it, never, she would rather die then give it up.

Draco stared at Ginny, why wasn't she moving? He looked from his father to her, and back. He had his wand out and was muttering something, and he saw that Ginny was concentrating hard. He wanted to know what was going on, but he knew that could wait, for his father was doing something to hurt Gin, and he had to stop him. Draco lunged at his father, surprising him, but not before Ginny fell to the ground, the force too much for her. Draco's father punched him soundly on the mouth, drawing blood. This caused Draco to fall to the floor, as his father recovered his fallen wand. He pointed it at his son, never flinching.

"What in the name of Merlin are you doing?" he asked in that slimy voice of his, "you're ruining the Lord's plan, do not interfere!" Draco stood, and stared his father square in the eye, and smirked.

"I will interfere, father," he said, as he lunged at him again. His father was one second quicker then him and had screamed a curse at him, the Crustacious. Draco writhed in pain, dropping to his knees, but he would not scream, he refused to. He stared his father straight in the eye, his body twitching.

"Stop staring, you imbecile!" yelled his father, obviously unnerved by his unflinching glare. Draco smirked despite the pain, and his father growled. Draco didn't know what hit him after that, but it hit him hard. His father had yelled another curse. It felt like something was ripping at his flesh, and Draco looked down at his body, and saw blood coming from everywhere. The pain was getting too much, but he had to protect Gin, for he saw his father go over to her, and picked her limp form up off the ground.

"No-" he said, reaching his hand out, trying to get to her. But he had lost too much blood, and the darkness finally came to claim him. His last thought was of Ginny, and how he had failed her.

Ginny woke up to a numb feeling in her head, like her brain had been split into two. She was disorientated as she opened her eyes, not knowing where in the name of Merlin she was. She surveyed the room. It had hard, grey, stone walls, that were dripping wet, like it was underground. The room was actually quite large, with all the furnishings that a Princess would receive, including a bed. Gin noted that the bed was very large, and very comfortable. That made her even more worrisome than if she were waking up in a dungeon. But her state was not what was on her mind at the moment, what she wanted to know was how Draco could do that to her. She didn't understand. She thought that they were going to be friends. How could she have been so naive. This was all her fault for actually trusting a Malfoy, well, she would never make that mistake again. She hoped that Ron was kicking his ass right now.

"Oh, Ron-" she said, actually missing her overbearing brother.

"No need to fret my dear," said a slithering voice in her ear. Virginia jumped at the intrusion. She looked to her left, and saw nothing. She looked around warily, as she inched to the far end of the bed.

"W-who-o's th-here?" she asked, shaking slightly as a draft entered the room. The double oak doors banged open, as if by the sheer force of a powerful wind. Gin screamed from fright. The room became very dark and silent. Ginny looked ahead of her, and all she saw were two red eyes, that were so demonic she shuttered from pure loathing. The eyes were coming closer and closer to her, and Ginny dreaded when it would finally arrive at her bed. The lights came on as quickly as they went off, but this time they were dimmer. Ginny saw around the room that there were floating candles everywhere, making an ominous glow emanate around the damp room.

Virginia looked at her capture for the first time, and she had no doubt in her mind who it was.

"Voldemort," she said, fear leaving her. He smirked, as much as you can without lips, that is.

"Ah, so the witch has heard of me! I am utterly flattered," he stated dryly. Ginny rolled her eyes at his sarcasm.

"What am I doing here? Why have you taken me?"

"You must know why you are here, young witch. But it wasn't I who took you, you know very well that it was your friend, Draco." he said, confirming her fears. He looked away from her, smirking, " a fine young slave he has turned out to be, he lead me straight to you!"Ginny looked away, as tears threatened to come.

"Ah, so I've hit a nerve have I, I shall remember that. Now, getting down to business. You have what we want, so hand it over." Ginny looked up to him, meeting him eye to eye, "It is not that simple," she said calmly, "one, I'm never going to give it up, and two, I can't just give it to you." Voldermort looked slightly taken aback by her tone, he did not like it when his subjects were not afraid of him. He would fix this little problem right away. Ginny saw his eyes flare, and then felt a burning hot sensation begin in her bones, then spread throughout her entire body, as if she were being engulfed in flames. Then she felt as if she were being stabbed repeatedly all over her body. She couldn't take the pain, and screamed out. Voldermort let her writhe in pain for another excruciating minute, then took off the curses. She fell back on to the bed, her whole body aching.

"There, now, that wasn't too bad, in fact, I quite enjoyed it!" he laughed diabolically, as he got up to leave.

"We will talk again, and do not worry, I will get what I want, even if I have to tear you open to get it."

Ginny just layed there, unable to move, as teas fell unchecked down her cheeks. She needed help, she wouldn't be able to do this alone.
