Chapter 11 – Revealing
They woke early hours of the next morning surrounded in each other's arms; Harry placed a kiss on Ginny's forehead while running his fingers lightly through her hair again. The sky had begun to lighten but it was still dark in the schools grounds, Harry shifted his head to look at Ginny.
"We should really go back to the common room." he said with a groan thinking of moving out of his current position.
"Suppose your right." she sighed trying to absorb the rest of Harry's heat before separating.
They dressed quickly while taking sneaky glances at each other until they were ready and had made sure all traces of them were gone. Harry looked over at Ginny and couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her, he took her hand in his and they started walking towards the castle. They didn't speak there were no words left to describe what either of them were feeling.
Just as they approached the fat lady Harry pulled her behind a nearby tapestry, he brought his lips down onto hers while tracing the outlines of her curves with his hands. They became lost in each and didn't know how much time had passed when they put their foreheads together, breathing heavily.
"I'll go in first and then you follow in about 10 minutes, don't want to start gossip to early. Is that ok?" She suggested.
"Yeah sounds like a plan. Do you think we should tell Ron and Hermione?" He asked.
She thought for a moment, "We should, really, they are our best friends."
"Yeah your right, later though." he replied.
She nodded and kissed him again before she slipped away towards the common room, as she turned the corner she saw Michael sat against the wall with bags under his eyes. She sighed and tried to ignore him and get into the tower as quickly as she could, but Michael stood and moved in front of the portrait hole blocking her way.
"Ginny I'm so sorry, that girl means nothing to me. I...erm I dunno why I did that." he explained moving closer to her.
Ginny made to move around him, ignoring him, but he kept blocking her off-which wasn't a good idea as she took note of where she had place her wand, he had been drinking as well, she could smell it on him.
"Get out of my way." She grinding her teeth at him, "I'm not interested." Not meeting his eyes and keeping hers focused on the portrait hole behind him.
"But Ginny I'm sorry, I want you... you're so..." he stopped and looked her up and down. Realization dawned on his face as he noticed she still had her dress on from the ball and hadn't been changed, her hair was out of place and it was 4:30 in the morning.
"You haven't been to your own bed have you?" He questioned dejectedly.
She looked him dead in the eyes, starting to get cross "No I haven't, but that's nothing to do with you!"
"Nothing to do with me?" He asked incredulously. "I'm your boyfriend and you've been sleeping around...haven't you? He began to shake with anger clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white.
"Are you delusional? You're not any boyfriend of mine. And as I said, it's none of your business!" She stated her hand holding the handle of her wand ready to strike. Did he really think they were still together?
"Well obviously I'm not now! He must've been pretty special to you, because you wouldn't let me get close! Would you, you ungrateful jezebel!" His voice growing louder as he slurred his words. "Who was he then? This guy who you let shag you?"
"How dare you? After what you pulled last night in front of everyone? You made me feel like an idiot,you bastard!" As she made to move round him again but he blocked her way, he went to grab her wrist but she quickly moved away from him.
"Ah...It's making sense now; I should have seen this coming." He announced. "I knew there was something between you, everyone does...but I didn't think you would follow through with anything." He said as he walked back and forth in front of the fat lady.
"I knew he wanted you for himself, I could tell the way his eyes followed you when we were together." He explained still pacing.
"What are you talking about?" She said acting oblivious; she had nothing to feel guilty over. As far as she was concerned it was over as soon as she saw him betray her, but she was sure he'd get the picture after she'd smashedhis nose.
"It was Harry bloody Potter wasn't it? He followed you last night...it makes sense now, I could see you lusting after him. You've had a crush on him for years, he chose his moment well, didn't he? Did he seduce you or did you seduce him?!"
"Michael...get out of my way, I warning you!" She said as the anger filtered through her veins.
"Bet you weren't saying that to him last night were you? I didn't know you were a slut Ginny." He shouted as he stumbled forward.
"That's it!" She yelled and flung her wand at him and cast her famous bat bogey hex at him before he could even blink.
He fell back against the wall as the hex took its course, sprouting bat wings from his temples. He brought his hands up to cup his head and tried to fight them off screaming and tearing out chunks of his hair in the process.
She side stepped him and gave the password to the fat lady, leaving him bashing his hands off his head in the corridor. She made her way up the spiral staircase to the girl's dormitories to bed and even though Michael had pissed her off she wasn't going to let him put a damper on the best night of her life. She sneaked into her room and pulled off her dress and quickly put on her pyjamas and closed the curtains around her, she lay back against the pillows. She could still feel the warmth of his arms around her and her lips still tingled from his, as she let her eyes drift shut.

Harry had watched the display between Ginny and Michael; he was boiling with anger, until Ginny had cursed him. He didn't intervene because he knew she could take care of herself but he was still worried if Michael's choice words had upset her.
After Michael had run off towards the hospital wing, Harry appeared from behind the tapestry and entered the common room and tip toed into the bedroom. Ron was flat out asleep; snoring his head off as Harry pulled her covers over himself, thinking back over the previous hours spent with Ginny. He'd done it and he couldn't be happier, he couldn't remember ever feeling like this and would make sure he never let her go.

In a secluded area on the west coast of Wales, stood a castle surrounded by a dark forest. It looked abandoned from the outside, dark and worn down, however inside it was luxurious with Marble floors throughout with high ceilings, it was filled with antique furniture and hooded figures.
A tall man with long blonde hair peeping out under his hood strode through the corridors with a smirk spread across his face as he came to stand outside a set of large black doors. He pushed them open and entered the room where there was a long table with chairs either side containing more hooded figure watching him walk towards the head of the table. At the head of the table sat another figure, one who would not be disobeyed, he was feared, and he showed no mercy or emotion. His red slit snake eyes followed the man until he arrived at his side and bowed his head at his master.
"My Lord, I bring useful news from our spy at Hogwarts." He informed keeping his head bowed.
"Is your source reliable Lucius?" Lord Voldemort hissed not taking his slits from the informant.
"Yes, very it's my son Draco." He replied as he raised his head and took his seat at his master's side.
"Go on then." Voldemort said becoming more interested in this new piece on information.
"It's the boy; he's developed a love interest with a fellow student." Lucius explained hoping it would please his master.
Voldemort's eyes grew wider, he leaned forward and looked straight at Lucius and nodded for him to continue. He hadn't entered Potter's mind since the ministry of magic and had been very curious to the happenings around him.
"My son informs me, that he thinks that Potter loves the girl." Lucius continued.
At this Voldemort's mouth turned into a smirk, "Foolish boy, silly mistake to make. What does love do for anyone?"
"My son tells me he caught Potter with her the other night when he thought no-one else was about, but..."
"But?" Voldemort questioned.
"He saw them together literally hours ago by the black lake, where they became quite... intimate." Malfoy smirked at his master with a glint of evil in his eyes.
"Excellent, we shall use her. He'll regret letting his teenage hormones become his weakness." He stood looking around at his followers as he announced this to the room. "Who is this girl?" He asked looked back down at Lucius.
"You'll be very pleased to hear its Ginerva Weasley." Lucius smirk grew wider as he thought of the special treatment he would receive for delivering such information.
"The young Weasley girl from the chamber, that weak, snivelling, little brat. Potter's fallen for her; he's more pathetic than I thought." He said. "She told me in the diary she had a crush on him, I still see some of her dreams. I morph them for my pleasure, I hoped to get my revenge on that red head and now I will."
He rotated his head on his shoulders and continued. "Yes it all makes sense now; her dreams are always of him. Her crush never went away and now she will suffer for it!"
All the death eaters cheers filled the room as their Lord spoke, "We will make plans my dear friends, we will capture the Weasley girl and torture her and obliterate Potter in the process. They'll be begging for death by the time I'm through with them!"
The whole room was on their feet now cheering and swapping ideas how to torture and kill their targets, Voldemort slowly sat back down watching his follower's share and discuss ideas. "Yes Potter, we'll be meeting again very soon!"

Authors Note
I wanted to let you know that I know I've made a mistake with Tom Riddles Diary but I couldn't help it, I wanted Voldemort to know who Ginny was and want to seek revenge on her as well. This is my least favourite chapter and I apologize that it's so poorly written but I just didn't know how to fix it. Thank you again for your reviews they're fab. Just to let everyone know that I have updated my summary, just a warning for the future of my story it's going to be quite harsh and upsetting.
