Chapter 3

I've been waiting for tom in the throne room for over half an hour, its cold and dark, apparently he wants to start learning about me. I don't know why, I'm just a Weasley.

"Shall we begin?" He just appears from nowhere. I still can't get used to how different he looks; he looks so human and beautiful. He starts smirking.

"What are we doing? Are you going to kill me?" He smirked even more and then entered my mind "if I was I would have killed you by now. No I'm going to be teaching you how to protect yourself, starting with spells and…. Legimency"

"NO! I don't care about any of that! I want to go home my family are worried about me! What have I ever done to you to deserve this?"

Lord Voldemort looked surprised and then he eyes were blazing! "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I AM YOUR LORD I COULD HAVE YOU KILLED FOR THAT!"

With his power radiating off him, I feel terrified and wish I never said anything, I understand why people are so scared of him, even with his youthfulness returning to him, looking handsome and innocent, there is cunning behind his eyes. He just keeps smirking. I decide it's just best to do as he says.

We stand in the middle of the room, and he says "first you shall call me my lord, not tom. With these lessons as I have said we shall be improving your skills, at Hogwarts they are only teaching you childish spells, not letting you reach your potential, what they don't tell you there is that purebloods have a unique spell to each family, as do you."

Now I was intrigued, which he could tell. "How do you know that?" "Crucio!" I felt burning all over my body, like I was been stabbed and burned. "I told you, you are to call me my Lord!" he was seething now. I really need to get out of here; I should just do as he says. I automatically feel guilty and ashamed, how can I do that I am a Weasley! We are known for our equality, I hear a voice in my head "but you have to survive, do as he says and maybe he'll let you go."

"Sorry… my Lord" I feel sick saying that. But I want to survive and get out. He smirks again. "Good. I know because I researched… different things when I was younger. I am going to help you as I have said.

It feels like it's been hours that we've been doing different spells and legimency, I am so tired I need to sleep. Finally he allows me to go to my room, but he gives me books on Dark Art Spells, Legimency, and Dark Creatures. He will be testing me on them tomorrow.

ARIANNA'S VIEW

Even in the dress makers, I couldn't focus on anything but what Ginny is going through, torture. Oh Jeez! My mum is trying to keep my focused on getting a dress for the ball. But how can anyone think of a ball with what the Weasley's are going through.

My mother is looking at me, I cannot believe she called potter a filthy Half-blood. I look back at her, my mother chose the dress I would be wearing as I couldn't think of anything but Ginny.

A week Later

There is still no news about Ginny, but thankfully they are still talking about her in the paper, I've not been usual bubble self since I heard about Ginny, my parents and brother keep looking at me, trying to get me to talk, especially today as it is the ball. Its early morning and my parents call me to my father's study, my parents; Parker, Mr Malfoy and Mr Zabini are there. My father tell me they have something to tell me but they need to perform a spell similar to the unbreakable vow on me, I look absolutely terrified, "Darling there is nothing to fear, this is to protect us all" mother says. "But how can you perform it on me I'm only 14, the ministry will know" my father says that this is only a spell that our family can perform and the ministry can't trace it. I have no clue how. But it's performed anyway.

"We know where Ginny is and she is safe" I was shocked "how? Have you told the ministry?" this is when everyone looks worried, everyone but my family leaves at this point, "as you are about to go into your fifth year, I think it's time I told you the truth." I just knew he was going to say something horrible. "I am a Death eater" I just wanted to die then and there. My heart dropped. I had a feeling that this what he was, he always went off at different times of the day not come back till the early hours or even come back for days on end.

My family are staring at me now, but I can't look at them, when I finally do, my dad has a stone face, my mother looks worried and my brother leaves. "Why are you telling me? Because of Ginny?" my father nods. "The Dark Lord permitted me to tell you that much on the condition I used our family spell. I won't tell you anything else." I am quiet for ages, "I need to get ready for the ball, I'll never talk of this again." There is one thing I have been taught and I'll always abide by is to stick by my family and honour my family.

Home we are all getting ready, my mother got me a dark blue silk dress, it looked beautiful, she hired beauticians to doll me up (witches though!), its nearly time to go, even with all this information I know I need to put on a brave face. My mother comes in looking beautiful as usual with her long blonde hair twirled up and a green dress, similar to mine on. "Darling you look lovely, let's go." I see my brother and father talking, I barely look at them, and the whole family disgust me, murdering innocent people!

As we enter the ball, all the families of purebloods even half-bloods are there, but they are all well-known and famous and rich, it's very busy, I see the minister of magic, even some Aurors. My brother goes over to his friends after making all the hellos and how are you's with my family. I see Luna Lovegood, which is strange. We are good friends even though she is a bit crazy and in another house to me, we are having a good chat, I even put my family troubles behind me for the night. I see Blaise and he looks dreamy as ever, but I stay clear of them all. No one but Ginny knows I like Blaise, I think my life would be ruined then if anyone found out, not many people like me in my house due to my family all been slytherins, but it's been better since the DA started.

Everyone is chit chatting and dancing, soon enough it's time to go home, as soon as I put my head on the pillow I'm asleep.
