***Hello everyone! A quick update isn't it? Well I hope you like this chapter! Enjoy everyone!
Few weeks passed and it was now one week before Christmas. Hermione was leaving the library when she saw Ginny sitting in a corner crying. She rushed to the girl's side and kneeled down. ''Ginny'' she whispered and the girl in question look up and when she saw Hermione she fell to her arms. Ginny started to sob and she was trembling. Hermione started to rock her while casting a notice me not charm and a silencing charm because she knew that Ginny didn't want anyone to see her like that. Ginny thought that when she was crying she show everyone how weak she was. After a while Ginny stopped sobbing. However the trembling hadn't gone away and few silent tears were streaming down her cheeks. Hermione took Ginny's face to her hands and with her thumbs she wiped the tears. ''So will you tell me now why you are like this?'' She asked giving the girl a comforting smile.
Ginny had an ashamed look and she couldn't even look at Hermione's eyes. She knew that she could tell everything to Hermione. Hermione was her older sister something Ginny never had before. When she first met her she felt safe with her and Hermione in her heart she had the title of an elder sister. She looked down. She felt like Hermione was going to just look at her with disgust.
Hermione was watching Ginny's face with worry. She knew that her friend had a problem because she was acting strange. She felt fear run through her veins when she saw Ginny look down to the floor. Hermione took Ginny's chin and made her look at her and she tried again ''Ginny, what's wrong?'' Hermione asked again with worry while caressing her cheek.
''If I tell you, you will be ashamed of me Mione.'' Ginny said and looked at Hermione the later widen her eyes from what her friend said
''How can you even say that Ginny? I would never be ashamed of you'' Hermione said and stroked Ginny's cheek with her knuckles.
Ginny took a deep breath and looked down again but then up again. ''Hermione, for a few days now I have started to see him in my dreams again. It's been four years and I still see him in my dreams.'' Ginny said and looked down while feeling tears in her eyes
Hermione looked Ginny in question. She couldn't understand who her friend was seeing in her dreams. She didn't ask thought.
Ginny saw the question in her friend's eyes and said ''Tom Riddle. I am till seeing Tom in my dreams'' Hermione widened her eyes and gasped but Ginny continued ''I am still seeing the man who nearly killed me and Harry, who have killed so many innocent people and have tortured so many others in my dreams.'' She said and fresh tears started to roll down her face and frantic sobs escaped.
Hermione seeing this took her friend once again in her arms and started rocking her, caressing her hair and whispering comforting words in her ear. ''Sh Ginny, it's okay.'' She was saying over and over. Hermione realized that her friend was in a lot of pain. Her heart was playing games with her and the mind was trying to protect the soul and the body from that murder. Hermione let her mind travel back to the first day of this year when Dumbledore was talking about that man. She remembered how her friend had started to tremble, she saw the sorrow in her eyes. She saw the pain, the guilt her friend felt. But Hermione knew that Ginny was not guilty. She was only an 11 years old girl. How could she know what was right and what was wrong? Hermione remembered two years ago when Ginny finally opened her heart to her and told her everything that had happened back to her first year when Voldemort seduced her to play his game and to become his toy. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She looked back down to her arms where her friend was crying. Again few minutes passed and Ginny looked at Hermione and wiped her tears.
Hermione smiled at her and spoke ''I could never be ashamed for your because of something like this. I don't know why this is happening. But I promise, I will do everything in my power to stop this Ginny. I don't want you to get hurt.'' Hermione said and hugged Ginny tight.
Ginny pulled away and looked inside Hermione's eyes ''Mione, what if he seduces me again? What if this time he makes me kill someone? I am so scared'' Ginny said and shivered
Hermione took Ginny's face in her hands again and said ''I will die first before you kill someone Ginny. I will protect you! I promise you!'' the two girls hugged again and when Ginny was okay the two went back to Gryffindor Tower for the night, after Hermione took away the charms she had put to herself and Ginny.
When the two girls went inside Ginny's dorm, Hermione helped Ginny to lie on the bed and she lay to the bed by her side. They charmed the curtains because they didn't want anyone to see them and the two girls fell asleep together as they had done so many times at the Burrow. That night Ginny didn't have any dreams at all and that, the next morning, made Hermione smile. Later that day when Parvati asked Hermione where she was and why she didn't sleep at her bed she and Ginny laughed very hard at Harry's and Ron faces when Hermione explained that she had slept with Ginny because they had a late girly talk. Ron had even asked Hermione if she had a thing for his sister when the Golden Trio was walking to the dungeons for their Potions class. Hermione had laughed and said that she didn't. She even reminded Ron that she was in a relationship with Draco in which Ron was taken aback. But before he could say something he remembered that he already knew that and both Harry and Hermione started to laugh at their friend.
