Disclaimer: Gan (full name Gannon) and Adelé belong to me, along with my unique plot! Everything else was thought up by the brilliant JK Rowling!!

Good evening, Folks!! Good to see so many of you decided to review! (Dies of sarcasm)

This chapter is dedicated to three very kind people who DID review this week: Tinkerbella11, AmaraMichelle and Nightcrawlerfw. Love you lots!!

Tinkerbella11: Thanks! I'm really glad that you liked it!! Haha I love it when people do random things. It keeps me on my toes! Thanks for reviewing! Have a good week!

AmaraMichelle: Short but sweet! Thanks for taking the time to review! (I secretly loved the Tom/George dynamic too) :D

Nightcrawlerfw: Yours was honestly the best review I've gotten in a long time. Thank you for being so sweet, and I hope I live up to your expectations this chapter! (PS: Does your name have anything to do with the night crawler from x-men?)

TTTTTTTTTT

"This is an outrage!" Rudolphus yelled at me, pounding the table. I raised my eyebrows at him. Him, yelling at me! This was totally unorthodox! "You plan to run away when this is our chance to fight, to wipe them out?" I sighed and leaned back in my chair.

"Lestrange, I don't see how fighting would do anything but lessen our numbers. We need to work on improving our skills before-"

"I don't give a damn about our bloody skills! I want to fight, to kill them for once and for all." I leaned forwards pressing my palms to the table top.

"We will not win," I said in a black voice. "I am the master here, and I have the final say."

"I don't know Tom," Gan interjected. I glared at him. Over the last few weeks that he had been here, I had grown to dislike him very much. Not to mention, I couldn't complain about him because Ginny and him were becoming fast friends. "I think that your men are quite ready to fight. They seem in top notch shape."

"I don't believe that I asked your opinion," I growled at him. Rahim had gone home week ago, after the ball, to run his court in India, so Gan thought he was the new bloody king of the world. I would be sure to show him his place.

"That doesn't change that it is valid," I did a double take. Was he really going to do this infront of my servants? I narrowed my eyes at him and flicked my wand in his direction. He ducked his head to dodge the curse, and snickered. I inhaled sharply fighting to control my temper.

"This meeting is over," I growled, and stood. Everyone else jumped to their feet and bowed to me. I swept out of the room and saw Ginny stride past me with her nose buried in a book. A wry smile appeared on my face and I caught her arm as she hurried along. She whipped her head up and smiled when she saw me. "Where are you going, my love?"

"To return this book,"

"Whose is it?"

"It's Lucius', from his personal library." I tucked a strand of hair back from her face and kissed her forehead. "I'll see you in a bit?" she asked, and I nodded to her.

"You know you can't get rid of me," She grinned, and continued down the corridor. I watched her go. Quite the little dark lady she was becoming.

GGGGGGGGGGGGG

As I turned the corner away from Tom I froze. Men's voices were coming from a boardroom off of the main hallway. I tiptoed closer and listened to what they were saying.

"-Course he wouldn't let us fight, he won't let us do anything that could hurt her feelings, or someone she knows." I raised my eyebrows. Rudolphus Lastrange?

"We can still take them. He's not our master and he never will be." That was Rabastan.

"Quiet," Avery warned. "He still has supporters here."

"Gentlemen," A voice said, and my stomach clenched. That slippery, horrible snake. He was planning a revolt. "We all just need to calm down and take our time. Wait a few weeks, a few months, and then all you have ever wanted will be real. We will bring hell to the half-blood who rules us." The men cheered before someone shushed them.

"What's the plan?" One of them asked. "How do we kill him?"

"Kill him?" Gan asked incredulously. "Good sir, we aren't going to kill Tom. We're going to break every bond he has, turn his friends against him and it will be worse than the most powerful cruciartis curse."

"You don't think that just killing him would be worse?" Avery whined. There was a whispered curse and a yell before a loud thump. A collective gasp went through the room.

"No, I don't think that. You will never understand Tom Riddle like I do, nor want revenge from him as I do. I want to make him watch as we burn his world. We'll rip down his empire, and he'll watch. We'll capture all of his loved ones, and he'll watch. We'll murder them, and he'll watch. That is what lies in wait for Tom Riddle." The passion in his voice made my knees quake. My heart pounded in my ears, and I breathed in short little gasps. My eyes were blurring from tears, and my book slid from my fingers. An audible clatter rang through the hallways, and I jumped.

"Who's there?" A man called out. I turned on my heel and ran down the hallway. I didn't stop running until I was in the library and even then I slid under a table and hid. I heard pursuers in the hall.

"Check down there!" One man ordered. I heard people run down the hall, and a solitary pair of footsteps rang through the library. "Come out, Ginny. I know you're there." He crooned. He was silent and my gasping sounded amplified. Suddenly the table I was under wasn't there. I stared horrified into his face. "Hello beautiful," he said to me and yanked me up. I opened my mouth to scream but he covered it. "No, no. Don't go yelling for Tom. I struggled to no avail. "I have one thing to tell you before I wipe your memory," he told me. His dark eyes burned into mine. "I love you. You will be mine." I shook my head and stomped on his foot, kicked his shins, everything. He didn't move a muscle. He tucked my hair with the end of his wand, then pressed it to my temple.

I looked up at Gan, bemused.

"Hello," I said. He smiled down at me.

"Hello," he echoed, and led me out of the library.

A/N: Short one this week, sorry about that, but I promise this will make next weeks even better!!

Love you long time! Byebye!!
