Author's Note: Well shit man, I'm sorry. I keep saying I'll update quickly but I just keep falling farther and farther behind. Forgive me? Really, I would have written if I had had the time! And a little bit of a warning needs to be issued out before reading saying that this chapter has a little more sexuality (not with who you think) and language, I think it's still rated T but if you guys think otherwise please state your opinions with the reviews you are SURE to leave for me, right? I really hated writing the drama in this story at the beginning, but it sort of is needed.
Important: If you have any problem reading a very not detailed rape seen it is in italics and in between two bars.
Disclaimer: There's no denying it, I own the whole thing, every last word. Just kidding, J.K. Rowling doesn't like vulgar language and doesn't insinuate vulgar themes. HEHEHEHE.
CHAPTER THREE: The Headmaster
"Ginevra?" Theodore asked in a confused voice, his dark eyes staring down at her.
"What am I going to do? He's going to get me! I don't know what I am going to do. Help me, please?" Ginny was practically screaming and she sobbed into his robes as she spoke.
"Stop this now. You're getting me all wet. Just tell me what happened. I'll do whatever it takes to make you stop crying." Theodore sounded more serious than he ever did, and he never took anything seriously in his whole life.
"No. You can't. Don't you get it? It's out of your hands." Ginny was slowly calming down as she kept talking.
"My very capable hands, might I add." Theodore was quickly out of his serious mood, even though he was actually worried for his little Gryffindor.
"Oh stop it! This is not a time to be joking you insufferable little arse." Ginny spoke acidly as if she was trying to sting him with her words.
"Oh get over it. It couldn't have been that bad." He was quickly beginning to doubt it not being bad but was trying to convince himself.
"He wrote to me! Harry! That low-life bastard, I hate him!" Ginevra stood up and walked towards Theodore and handed him the note.
Theo quickly scanned through the letter then handed it back. "Well, well, well. Told you it couldn't be that bad. I mean he can't really come get you or even see you. Really you're overreacting."
"Am I? Am I? No, I don't think I am. He-he raped me! He'll find a way, he's Harry Potter." Ginny looked desperately at his face as she explained.
"Ginevra what are you talking about? The righteous Potter wouldn't do that." Would he? He added to himself while praying to every god he's ever heard of that it wasn't true.
"Oh but he would. The night before Dumbledore's funeral, I was talking with him up in his dormitory and he just came onto me. I told him no, he didn't listen. In the end he just went all the way with me. I convinced myself, that night in my bed, that he didn't, that it was my choice. I believed it for a fucking long time, even though he broke things off the very next day. I'm so stupid damn it." Then Ginny went on and explained her night to her friend.
Ginny sat on Harry's bed after crying and talking about her thoughts and fears of a future without Dumbledore there anymore. He held her close and whispered soothing things into her ear as she tried to breathe at a regular pace again.
"Harry?" Ginny looked up at him through red and puffy eyes.
"Yes love?" He looked down at her and wiped a hand gently across her left cheek.
"Promise me you'll never leave me, that you'll always be there for me. Please just promise me." Ginny's voice shook badly as she spoke out her request.
"I could never leave you, you're perfect for me, and I'm perfect for you. I love you Ginny Weasley." He kissed her forehead after his confession, though for a second she thought she saw something flash through his emerald green eyes, though she decided it was only a glimmer from a candle nearby.
"I-I know. I'm ju-just so scared, Harry." Ginny pressed her face into his shoulder.
"Everything is going to be ok, I promise you." Slowly Harry raised her head so it was level with his own and spoke in a low voice. "I think I know how to cheer you up."
Suddenly he began kissing her and she let him, as it was nothing new. Then she felt his arms go underneath her shirt and she let out a squeak, slapped at his arm lightly, and muttered a quick no to him but he didn't seem to be paying any attention.
"No Harry, stop. Please, I'm not ready." Ginny was getting a little nervous as he continued to kiss her but his hands stayed where they should and so she let it go. However he forced his hands back up her school shirt and again she pleaded with him.
"Ginny, I'm ready. I thought you loved me, were you lying? Don't you want me to be happy?" Harry voice was husky and strangely dark in her ear.
"Of course I do Harry, but I'm not ready. Please wait." Ginny was getting more and more nervous but Harry seemed to have drowned out her voice and even as she pleaded with him he moved his hands over her suddenly naked form. Her tears were flowing but instead of making him stop she finally just gave in to his wishes without anymore fight.
The next morning she woke in her bed and was nearly sick with regret, she had left his room after the Ordeal, as she now called it, and cried until she had nothing left, finally convincing herself it was her own decision and Harry hadn't done anything wrong to her.
"Holy fuck. I know I should be taking this seriously but all I can think of is you and him naked on a bed. Are you telling me Potter actually has balls?" Theodore was extremely pissed off but was unused to displaying his real emotions so he did his best to try and cheer her up.
"Shove it Theo. If you really want to know, he is the smallest I have ever seen." Then, under her breath she muttered, "Not that I have seen any others…"
"Your first and only? Why so innocent Ginny? Can I be your second? Oh, pretty please?" Theo looked up hopefully at her from his spot on the couch.
"You are so full of yourself. What makes you think I would even consider you?" Ginny was grinning even though her cheeks were pink from embarrassment.
"Why wouldn't you consider me? I'm tall, dark, handsome, and a great bed buddy. I'll even help you get better at it, I mean your first is when you're supposed to learn the basics, but Potter couldn't fuck you senseless if he tried for hours, so how are you going to learn without a patient tutor?" Theodore was still looking hopefully at her.
For the first time since she had been with her new friends, who didn't think twice about sleeping around, she hesitated to saying no right away. "Well, I don't know. I mean isn't it wrong to just have sex with your friends, doesn't that make things awkward?"
"Oh come on, I know you want to. It'll be fun. I mean everyone else is out right now and they will never even know unless we say something. Anyway, I'm told I'm an amazing partner. Plus I have big feet and you know what they say about big feet. I can even give you a sneak peek if you ask nicely." Theodore was grinning at her with knowing eyes.
"You wouldn't, look at all these little naive first years sitting around us. You can't blind them at such a young age." Ginny wasn't as embarrassed anymore, she was actually surprised to find she wasn't in the slightest bit pink.
"Oh really?" Then he stood in front of her, threw open his robe, pulled down his pants and boxers and stood smirking down at her. "See, told you it was big."
"Theo! What the hell are you doing?" It wasn't the now pink Ginny who was looking at her hands who answered, but Draco who stood right behind Ginny.
"I'm trying to be Ginny's second. I got to impress her, duh." Theo rolled his eyes and gave him a look that clearly stated 'are you stupid or something?'
Draco walked up to Theo smoothly without taking his eyes off of his face. Then he pulled out his wand and instantly Theodore's pants and boxers were back on. "Don't taint our little lioness. She's too precious for such rough boys as you. And don't get me wrong, you have one of the nicest packages I've ever seen."
Ginny was averting her attention to the bystanders who didn't look at all phased by what had just gone on and she asked out loud to no one in particular, "Does anything get to these people?"
A lazy drawl answered her from behind, "Not really. All of us have seen far worse, and usually not by choice."
Ginny jumped a little and turned her attention to the girl who had walked up silently to stand next to her, it was Pansy. "I guess I just don't understand yet, honestly I don't know if I ever will."
"No. You will, that's a promise. You're in our lifestyle now; you'll meet those that have changed us." Pansy didn't seem at all awkward explaining this to Ginny.
Then another voice made her swerve around quickly, "Yeah, Ginny- I mean Ginevra- was just telling me this story about Potter raping her in his own blameless way."
Ginny quickly rounded on Theodore, "Did I give you permission to tell everyone else? You are the most insensitive person I have ever laid eyes on."
Draco clenched his fists and asked deathly quiet, "What the fuck are you talking about?!" With one last agitated glare thrown at Theo, Ginny explained what she had already told Theodore.
"I mean, it isn't technically rape. Don't freak out, I'm fine now. Really!" Ginny was trying to calm the boiling Pansy and Draco, even if it took a few lies on her part; she didn't want them to do anything they'd regret later.
"Are you kidding Ginevra? That is exactly what rape is, forced sex. I'll kill him when he finishes Voldemort. I swear on my life I'll get him back for this." Draco was shaking and his fists were so tight that his knuckles were a pearly white color.
"I'll help love." No one could say for sure when Blaise had entered, but then again no one was thinking about that. Blaise showed his anger through his eyes, which shown with a pure hate and promise of revenge.
Ginny sat quietly as her old memories of that night rushed into her mind once again. She didn't even realize how upset she really was until she saw the reactions of her friends. She wanted them to avenge her; she wanted Harry Potter to go down. She wanted it more than anything she ever wanted before- even the newest version of the Firebolt. "Swear to me you'll get him, if only for me."
Draco moved from his spot across from her and sat next to her; he held her close and rubbed her back consolingly. "I swear it on my life." Theodore shot daggers at him in a jealous way, mouthing something along the lines of, 'Lucky dick.' Draco ignored him and continued to comfort Ginny as Blaise looked at the two of them and as he did so he couldn't help but thinking, Maybe I could love her too, she is so different than anything or anyone else.
Pansy couldn't feel more sympathetic if she tried and asked in her drawling voice, "Can I do anything? Please tell me I can, I just can't see you so putout."
Blaise shook his head at Pansy and then pointed down at the redhead; she was lying against Draco's chest, fast asleep. Gingerly he lifted her into his arms away from Draco and took her into his own rooms where he laid her down on his bed. He would have taken her back to her own bedroom but couldn't very well march into Gryffindor with an unconscious Ginny in his arms. He could just imagine their reactions- some would of course think she deserved it, but others would feel the need to protect their own.
Ginny stood in a field with a single blooming white rose surrounded by dead, black roses. The wind took up and the dead rose fell to dust and the white stood strong against the air current, fighting off the need to collapse with the others. She watched as the blue sky fell into a single black shadow and a man suddenly stood at her side. He watched with her and laughed cruelly as the rose gave up and crumpled. The man approached her and spoke in a voice that was full of the power to hurt and the power to kill, "Ginevra." Her own name sent chills down her spine and a cold sweat on her face.
As she groggily opened her eyes that were still heavy with sleep she began to notice her unrecognizable surroundings. She saw the emerald green walls that surrounded her, took in the black silky sheets that fell around her slim body, and slowly she glimpsed the silver chandelier unlit hanging gracefully from the high ceiling above. Then, surprisingly, she felt a warm body against her own, felt a heavy arm over her waist, and felt the slow and deep breath of a presence beside her.
She closed her eyes tight, thinking back to last night, hoping for a clue of her current situation. She remembered telling about her Ordeal to her friends, and then they were there to comfort her as she grew exhausted from crying and yelling and remembering, no, just remembering. She took a slow breath as she realized she must have fallen asleep in Draco's arm, so was she now in Draco's bed? As tried to think harder, she took a calming breath and tried to relax but she fell asleep again.
When Ginevra once again found herself awake she noticed that the presence was no longer beside her but in the bathroom, as she could hear water running and see steam slipping under the door on the side of the room. She sat up against the headboard and could freely look around her now that she was free of the arm. The floor was made of cold white marble and black rugs were scattered on the floor. There were portraits of various important Slytherins hanging along the walls- Severus Snape, Tom Riddle, and Salazar Slytherin amongst them. Everything about the room screamed elegance and class, from the all black, silk king sized bed to the silver floating candles that hung much lower than the beautiful glistening chandelier.
She looked down at her meager robes, which still were hanging loosely on her frame. Even with Pansy's spell Ginny stood out against these million galleon pieces. She bit down on her lip, feeling ashamed of her family and father for not taking the high paying job as an Auror he had been offered after graduating Hogwart's. Why couldn't he be a normal wizard that could care less about the 'wonders' of muggle life?
Ginny waited for the door to open so she could find out who she had been trapped with overnight. After a few minutes of silence, except for the pounding water, the shower must have been turned off for that sound was soon replaced with light footsteps and the steam was now coming out less and less from under the door. She curiously watched the door creak open and after her eyes adjusted to the light shining from the restroom she saw that it was Blaise she had stayed with that night.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Blaise leaned against the door frame wearing nothing except a white towel around his hips which contrasted with his dark skin tone. He looked genuinely concerned as he looked down at her.
"I'm fine, glad it was you that I ended up waking up with and not Crabbe or Goyle." She grinned tiredly at him as she was not fully awake at the moment.
He smiled at her and with a light chuckle said softly, "I think you underestimate them. I personally wouldn't mind waking up beside either, though they are quite insistent on keeping me out of their beds." He frowned at the last bit but Ginevra could see that he didn't really mean he was upset about it.
"Oh poor you, I'm sure being denied by people must be hard as it never happens. Am I right?" She was lazily grinning at him with her head laying neatly against the headboard still.
"Couldn't be more accurate." Blaise chuckled again.
"Let's go eat, I'm really hungry. It feels that I haven't eaten in a long time." Ginny clutched her stomach and stood up from the bed then paused before asking, "Do you mind if I shower first? And could you have a house elf send some of my clean robes here while I'm in here?""
"Could you be anymore lazy? Just do it yourself." When he saw her annoyed expression he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm kidding, I got it. It'll be here when you're finished in there."
"Kay, be out soon then." She opened the door and was shocked at what met her eyes, an all black marble room except for a huge shower and sinks that were made from a stone the same color as mercury. After getting undressed and stepping into the shower she couldn't help but feel exposed because she was always so used to the small showers at home and in the Gryffindor house.
Ginny looked blankly around her trying to figure out how to start it for nearly five minutes when Blaise's voice sounded from his bedroom, "Press your wand onto the only black stone in the wall, the water will adjust itself!" When she had gotten her wand from her clothing she walked back into the shower and pressed the stone he had indicated and instantly warm water rushed down from the ceiling, the sides, and a small amount squirted up from the floor to wash out crevices that were hard to get otherwise.
Finally she forced herself to turn off the water and leave the shower and dry off with the towel that was resting on the counter by the sink. After drying off she drew it around her still mostly damp body and opened the door. She felt awkward standing so naked in front of Blaise but she had quickly fetched her clothing from the bed and walked back into the bathroom to change without a word to him.
After doing a charm on her hair and quickly getting dressed she stepped out from the humid bathroom where she met Blaise already standing by his door. "Took long enough Princess? Good thing breakfast still goes on another hour. I get grumpy when I don't eat."
Rolling her eyes Ginny walked up to him where he bowed down to her as if she was the Princess, "Mature Blaise, real mature."
He gave her a sheepish smile and said happily, "I excel at something at least."
Ginny shook her head but was smiling at him and they left his room together and made their way through dungeon hallways until they had arrived at the Great Hall in their cold and emotionless masks. A few stares followed the two to the Slytherin table but most people had stopped staring at little things like this, even though they still gossiped about it constantly.
Daphne was looking worriedly at Ginny as she sat down across her, obviously hearing about the Ordeal. "I'm fine." Ginny was sure to reassure her before she even had asked. Daphne nodded and passed the bacon to Draco who had apparently been asking her repeatedly during the short duration of their conversation, though he was already getting impatient.
Ginny nearly jumped out of her skin as someone tapped her on the shoulder while she was in a deep discussion about Quidditch in the halls with Draco.
"Miss Weasley, we need to talk. Mister Malfoy, if you would follow us as well, it would be greatly appreciated. Mister Zabini, Mister Crabbe, Mister Goyle, Mister Nott, Miss Greengrass, and Miss Parkinson are already waiting in my office. This is top-secret and necessary to discuss immediately." Severus Snape's greasy voice sent chills down her body and she distinctly saw Draco stiffen in front of her.
Biting down on her lip Ginevra quickly answered, in a way she hoped sounded confident, "Yes, sir. We'll follow immediately if you would like." Beside her Draco nodded swiftly in agreement, his body relaxed again and his face quite emotionless as always.
When the two had entered into the circular office that was once Dumbledore's they took in the sight of their friends. When Draco looked into their eyes he could see the anxiety hiding in the depth of their pupils, hiding behind their masks for the climax of the play. Each of them looked up at Draco and Ginny when they entered right behind the grimy headmaster.
"Now I am sure you all are confused, or at least for the most part, for the Slytherins know what is going on at least somewhat. Miss Weasley however must be puzzled as to what is happening, am I correct in thinking this?" Snape looked expectantly at his student as she tried to make herself look clueless without anyone noticing the sudden change of expression.
"Yes sir, I am quite lost as to why we are here." She had pulled off the look and stared at Severus as he smirked, obviously feeling superior in his knowledge.
"Of course you are. Now let the Carrows and I fill you in. Listen carefully all of you; it pertains to each one of you." The others looked up expectantly at his ordered.
Alecto Carrow rose from her seat and walked towards Ginny as she spoke in a silky voice, a voice that could easily trick people into saying things they wouldn't have normally have told her. Her sloping shoulders were making her look much less intimidating than she was trying to be. "Now listen, I hate to admit this, but you, a Weasley, seem to be very important to the Dark Lord. He needs you, very soon he says."
Her brother let out a wheezy laugh and looks up at Ginny, for he was a short and plump man, and said in a hoarse voice very unlike his sister's, "So yous goin' to do wha' we says yous got to do. Yous goin' to got to fulfill this 'ere prophecy." At the last bit he raised a glass orb that seemed to have a fog swimming inside it, Ginny couldn't help herself as she reached out in wonder at the beautiful piece but was cut short by another laugh from Amycus as he pulled it back.
"Yous can't touch this here. Much too precious for blood traitor hands like yors." He smirked at her.
Ginny felt anger boiling inside her and couldn't stop before she said in a deadly tone, "Don't ever call me that again. You have no idea how hard it is to live with my family, to pretend that I actually like muggles and mudbloods." Then in a smug voice she spoke again, "Also wasn't your sister saying how much I was needed by your Dark Lord? Bastard."
Her outburst was far from anything the three teachers had expected the Slytherins didn't blink an eye though. Snape smirked down at her and spoke in his gross and slimy voice, "The Dark Lord has chosen correctly I see." After seeing a confused expression from Ginny- only faked- he continued, "This prophecy is about you Miss Weasley, though I will wait before I tell you it."
The students were anxious now, they hadn't heard the prophecy yet and didn't know if it would be the downfall of Ginevra. Draco spoke in his slow drawl and uncaring voice he used around the outside world, "Are you going to explain why we are here or what?" When he spoke 'we' he had pointed at the snakes.
"Mister Malfoy, you will address me as sir from now on." Snape looked down on him.
"Yes sir." Draco was getting impatient with all of the beating-around-the-bush.
With a glare Severus answered his question after ignoring his back talk, "Yes, it is all part of the prophecy Mister Malfoy. Now be patient."
There was a short pause and Snape continued, "Now that I have your attention I will begin explaining how Miss Weasley here will be taken to the Dark Lord as soon as possible."
Ginevra paled and her eyes widened with fear at his words, she was no longer acting out her emotions, this was something that she had not expected in the least. "Bu-but I tho-thought you were good!"
Without once glancing at his student he continued to talk, "I have decided that in about a month you will be sent to him, I think that will suffice in preparing her. At t he moment I think that the best thing to be will be to let down the castle's ward that night so that I will be able to apparate with you to the Dark Lord's fortress. It is rather simple so not much can go wrong, except if your little friends continue to fight against us that is. So I will have the Carrows place as many people still on the light side in the detention that night. I will send you a letter a day in advance with information on when and where to meet. Understood?"
When she tried to respond she found her mouth to dry so instead she gave him a slow nod and with a smirk he reached his hand out to Amycus, silently demanding him to hand over the prophecy. "Now seems a good enough time to hear the prophecy."
After Amycus had dropped the orb in his hand, Snape coldly told Ginny to take it from him. As soon as her hand took hold of the cool glass surface the mist inside turned a violent red color and a deep, mystical male voice surrounded the teachers and students.
"This single girl in the midst of seven,
Must reunite the other eleven.
Her magic reaches farther than even the Darkest Prince,
Her choice is to love him or destroy him hence."

GoodGirlzDead: Oh I hope you're right about that, and thanks for your feedback! Ginny is one of my favorites from the book and I just couldn't help but add a few tweaks to her personality to fit my exact liking.

I simply love feedback; it makes me feel good about what I do. Yeah, they shouldn't read it if they don't like my pairing, so it's their entire fault for having to go through with the torture of seeing their love :D.
