Thanks to everyone who reviewed and thanks for sticking with me through my first story! Without further ado… here's some more…oh and by chance… if this seems repetitive, I'm sorry, I'm trying to twist it but… well, I'm not much good at it.

Ginny joined the Gryffindor table quietly, sitting as far away from the others as possible.

"Hey Gin, what was up with earlier? You looked like you were cooperating with those goons!" Ron exclaimed, finding her half way through the feast.

"Nothing Ronald, now leave me alone so I can eat, I've got a headache" she spat back, and turned back to her food quickly

Surprised by her actions, Ron returned to the others and informed them of her answer. "She won't tell me, her brother, I think something's definitely wrong"

Hermione reminded them she had been doing the same thing over the summer, and it had all started after she got that necklace. "Maybe it was jinxed and discarded and she just picked it up and put it on"

As they were dismissed from dinner Hermione glanced at Ginny and followed her gaze to Malfoy, and watched her nod her head about something. Wondering what was happening, she decided to confront one of the two soon.

Draco sat down and informed Blaise to keep everyone from talking to him so he could think.

Blaise agreed to do so because, well, it's not too smart to get the King of Slytherin mad at you first day back; he'd make your life miserable for sure.

Draco ate and thought about who to choose for the New Year's entertainment.

'Ginny would be too easy to get to do that, but if I chose Granger, I could get the others involved in this and get them some credit with our Master… who to choose'

Towards dinners end, Draco felt eyes upon him. Looking up he noticed Ginny staring at him blankly. He told her through his eyes to tell no one.

As they stood, Ginny nodded her understanding, and walked off.

Ginny entered her dorm and plopped down on her bed, and closed her eyes, waiting for her roommates to come; she knew it would be a while since she had been the first person up to Gryffindor Tower.

She heard a knock at the door, 'weird, they shouldn't have to knock, unless it's not someone from my dorm, like Hermione'

"What do you want" she asked sleepily.

"Can I talk to you?" came Hermione's voice, "It may be important"

"What can be more important than sleeping before you have to start classes?" Ginny replied, knowing that would hold the other girl off. Even for a few seconds.

"Well, nothing I guess, except your life." Hermione said after a few minutes

"Fine, come on in… but Harry and Ron gotta go!" she said knowingly enough to trick a badger

"Ginny…"Hermione started, trying to be gentle, before blurting, "where'd you find that necklace?!"

"Smooth; and Luna dropped it and said I could wear it. I found it on the ground after she dropped it and she said I could keep it… I think, I don't really remember…"

"Well I have a bad feeling about it, can I take it off?"

"No, I don't want to take it off"

"You're gonna have to sooner or later…"

"I'll take later"

"Ginerva Weasley, you will let me remove that necklace, now!"

"Yes Mother" Ginny said sarcastically, secretly knowing she wouldn't be able to

Hermione went to take the necklace off Ginny, but couldn't find the latch at all. So she tried to pull it off, but to no avail… She screamed in frustration and stormed off.

Just as she left an Eagle owl flew in and landed by Ginny

Ginny,

Meet me and the boys by the lake at 9:00 on the 22nd. If you're late, you won't be happy. I suppose by now, Granger has already attempted at removing her own handiwork. Well I can't blame you for letting her, but try avoiding everyone doing that. Like I said, 9:00 Tuesday be there, or you'll be hurting greatly…

D.

Short sweet and to the point, naturally.

So he wanted her already, that could be good or bad, but she would go anyways.

The few days passed relatively uneventfully, Snape gave them hard work and she passed with flying colors on the test the next day.

November 22nd

Draco watched Hermione and Ginny closely, he would decide after he dealt with Ginny that night.

He was leaning toward Hermione, just for fun… but who knew?...

"Hey Draco! We on for tonight?" Blaise asked, looking forward to escorting their Gryffindor "friend" to their chosen location.

Unbeknownst to Ginny, she was not destined for the lake, as she read, but to the greenhouses. Draco had asked Professor Sprout, the night he sent his note, if he could hold a study session in a greenhouse in a few days time.

"I'm going out for a walk" Ginny told the trio, not that they'd care, they were working on "homework" or whatever it was, "I'll be back late, don't come looking for me, I'll be with a teacher" and left at that, not waiting for a response.

So she began getting some stuff she might need together, just in case. She packed, parchment, quills, ink, and her wand, in her bag and headed off.

That night, Blaise met Ginny at the doorway, scaring her out of her wits.

"Weaslette" he said, almost politely, then checked she wasn't being followed

"They don't care that I'm not in the tower, they don't even know I left" Ginny mumbled to Blaise at his search.

"Gotta make sure, can't have them following you, now Can we?" he replied, and grabbed her arm, jerking her forward next to him.

"I can walk myself thanks," she said, startled by the tug, and jerked out of his grip, heading for the Lake.

"We're not going there tonight, come along" he sneered, now conjuring a bind on her, and slightly floating her ahead of him, so she had no say on the matter.

"What was that for?" she asked irritably, while thinking, 'Oh gods! I'm a fool, here I go again!'

"To make sure you come peacefully, now don't make me silence you too…"

He was just finishing the sentence when he stopped in front of the Greenhouses to wait for Crabbe, Goyle, and Nott to come help them to Draco. He set her down gently, forced her to have a seat and silenced her as back up that she not be found.

Meanwhile, the trio watched her leave, grabbed the Invisibility cloak, and followed her, finding the note sent by Malfoy along the way.

As they rounded a corner they saw Blaise appear, talk to Ginny, and then take her with him after looking around. Ron was going to bolt after him for touching his sister, but was held back.

They watched as Blaise levitated her and thought he had silenced her as well, not being able to hear what was being said.

They were able to see him force her down before Ron lost control and began to attack Blaise.

This completely ruined the plan to stay hidden and not be found so they could spy on what happened, Blaise turned around and realized what had happened, then stupefied everywhere within 10 feet of where he had seen Ron, to include Ron himself.

Harry and Hermione were hit and lost the cloak slightly, just enough that they could be seen, only a little, but were still visible nonetheless.

Blaise advanced on Ron, bound him, and removed the wand from his hand, then continued on to Harry and Hermione, doing the same and taking the cloak, and throwing it over Ginny, since he knew exactly where she was, and that she couldn't move.

When the 3 he had expected arrived, they each took a "captive", as instructed by Blaise, and carried them roughly to outside Draco's greenhouse.

"No wands I presume" he said quietly, to the cronies, "Throw them in with the Devil's Snare, but make sure they won't die, and keep Granger in a completely separate part of the greenhouse, or they'll get out."

The three bowed, and proceeded to do as told, while Blaise brought in Ginny.

"Well, where is she?" he demanded, not knowing she was under the cloak.

"Right here, so her friends wouldn't see where exactly she was sir" Blaise replied, pulling the cloak off Ginny. "Hope you don't mind, but I bound and silenced her as well" he added.

"No, no, good thinking, or else she might have ran" Draco said agreeably to Blaise then turned on Ginny as Blaise released her.

"So, did they follow because you asked them to, or because they don't trust you?" he asked her quietly.

"I… told them not to worry, that I would be safe, I figured they probably wouldn't have cared anyways, they were so busy with the others" she stammered.

"Ah, well then let's start working, shall we?" he said, throwing work in front of her, with the assignment guidelines, "there, now I have some work that you can't do to attend to" he continued, and walked off without another word

Draco gave her the work and began to go back to thinking about who to use as New Years entertainment. Then realized, that he had meant to remove the necklace, besides, he already missed knowing he was going to get good grades, he felt uncomfortable having Ginny do it. So he returned to Ginny and removed the necklace carefully.

"What's wrong sir?" she asked, confused that he was removing his literal, control panel, from her.

"Nothing, just go do your work in the corner over there," he said, as a test to how obedient she was without the necklace.

She gathered her stuff and said a simple, "Yes, sir" then walked off to do her work.

'She's way too scared of me… now, soon enough, she'll be challenging me, but I'll worry about that later. Now, to figure out who accompanies me to my New Years festivities. Definitely not Weaslette, that leaves Granger… but how to keep her here over holiday… hmmm.' He stopped thinking about it right there. He would worry later, he had to get the Wonder Trio back to the castle and unfortunately, they had to stay safe.

"Gin, go back to your Tower and act normal. I'm not in the mood for inquiries," he said firmly, then turned to the boys, "Nott, accompany the Weaslette back, nothing happens to her. Got it? You three, go take those three back, try not to get them too wrapped up, just take them by the kitchens, when you put them down, put their wands about three feet from them. Make it look like they lost them."

Malfoy gathered everything in sight, and locked the greenhouses for Professor Sprout. Putting the key under the mat of Greenhouse One for Sprout to find.

The boys did as they were told; Nott walked Ginny back up to Gryffindor Tower, and even was a "Gentleman" and kissed her hand lightly. "We'll see you later, little Weasley," he said, suppressing his urge to jinx her.

"Yes, you too Nott," she replied absently. As she turned to give the Fat Lady the password, he murmured evilly into her ear, "Tell no one" and they parted.

Well no duh, she told no one, it was sorta embarrassing, but she wasn't exactly expecting the trio to be so gun-ho on asking questions about what was happening.

"What were you doing with them?!" Hermione constantly asked, always cornering her, fortunately, near her friends so she could wiggle out of answering to talk to them.

When finally she had no escape route, she was forced to talk about it.

"Why was Zabini with you the other night? And why didn't you tell us you were leaving?" Ron asked, jumping down her throat, as she got ready to speak.

"Zabini was with me the other night because I asked for an escort to speak with Professor Sprout, and requested they make sure I stay safe, Zabini was the one chosen as my escort" Ginny lied, "and I did tell you, but you weren't listening to me"

"What'd you tell us?" Ron asked protectively.

Ginny held her head high and said, "I said I was going to see a teacher, I'd be back late, and not to worry about me. I also said I'd appreciate not being followed."

Harry stepped forward from the shadows. "Why Zabini? Don't you know Slytherins are the enemy? Not only that, but Blaise could've hurt you badly? You know we care about you; otherwise, we wouldn't be so concerned. Who chose Zabini as escort? You or Sprout?"

"Sprout chose him. It was either him, or Nott, I said I'd take Zabini, if he promised no harm would come to me…" just as Ginny said this, the eagle owl flew to her.

"What's that doing here?" Hermione asked.

"Dunno" Ginny said innocently, taking the letter and opening it.

A message for Ginny Weasley

Professor Sprout requests your immediate and solitary presence in Greenhouse 1. You are to meet your study partner for the next month. She asks you to please come alone, and with nothing but your wand. She informs me that she will have an escort up at the doors at promptly eight 'o' clock this evening. Your escort is to be Mr. Zabini. This message will disintegrate after reading.

D.

This message, the trio read over her shoulder, and secretly plotted to follow her to see what was really up.

"It's almost 8 now" Ginny said, "I better go" and ran off to drop her stuff off, then ran back downstairs.

"Why don't we go with you?" Hermione asked, "We'll see you to Zabini"

"Thanks, but no thanks Hermione. Sprout wants me alone, and Blaise'll jinx you on sight." Ginny said quickly, running out of the common room.

"This'll be harder than we thought boys," Hermione mumbled. But they had Plan B to follow her.

At the front door, Blaise sat in wait. "Ginny, about bloody time. I expect the trio's got that cloak of theirs?"

"I don't know Blaise, let's just go, and don't bind me, I'll co-operate." Ginny mumbled in his ear, in case they had followed.

"Very well. This way Weasley." Blaise said, smirking at the thought.

Blaise began walking ahead; Ginny was about two steps behind him when he heard running. He turned to see if she had tricked him, but found she was walking towards him steadily, and had her wand in her pocket. "Ginny, hurry would you, you're sure you're alone?"

"Absolutely, Sprout'll be happy I'm here, and I'll be happy I'm safe. Now let's go already," Ginny persisted after a bout of argumentative questioning.

"Yeah, and we'll get to the bottom of this!" Ron mumbled under the invisibility cloak, "Come on Gin, and lead us to our solution."

That's all you get for now. I apologize for the wait. I had this chappie mostly done when school started up, but didn't have the time to finish it between all my homework, and my job, and, well, I've been busy. So now my Homework's done, and I've quit my job, I can try to update more often.

Love ya all! Please review, preferably something I can use to improve!
