Repercussions

Chapter 1

Ginny's P.O.V

As I studied the girl in chains in before me, I couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, it was my fault that she is what she is today, a monster...well, kind of. The girl in front of me used to be my best friend. We used to be like sisters, we were that close. But that was then, this is now.

I watched her in a horrified awe. She was highly respected in the wizarding world. She had power, and she didn't get it by force. But as Dumbledore cursed her, I couldn't help but think who has the power now? Her eyes snapped towards me. Damn...I had to remember that she had telepathy. The former Hermione Granger, now Drusilla Riddle, just sat there, taking the curse like it had no effect on her. And it probably didn't. She was too powerful. In fact, she could probably break through our pathetic attempt to hold her hostage in the blink of an eye.

When Dumbledore took the curse off her, she laughed a bone-chilling laugh. You see, Hermione, or Dru, was far more than your average witch. More than your average human. Her father, or as you know him, Lord Voldemort, had given her to a powerful vampire when she went back to him. She wasn't too happy about that. Now she hates her father with a passion, but still sided with him. She just doesn't follow his rules and leaves all her victims alive. But we might not be so lucky if she ever gets out of here. So on top of the telepathy and vampire issue, she also does wandless magic and has telekinesis. A major problem for us.

So you're probably wondering how this all happened. Well...that's what I'm here to tell you. It was the summer before her seventh year at Hogwarts...

flashback

I sat in my room, quietly, so I could hear Ron invite Harry and Hermione over, just like every year before this. I could hear him talking to someone over the floo network.

"Well, Hermione, Harry's coming over tomorrow. I was wondering when you were gonna come over," I heard him say.

I couldn't hear Hermione's answer, but judging by Ron's "Great. That sounds terrific," she was coming over tomorrow as well.

That night I went to sleep early so I could look good for Harry. Yes, I still had a huge crush on him, but in my defense, who wouldn't? But tomorrow had other things in mind for me.

The next day, around noon, Harry arrived. He looked even better that I imagined he would. Built body, those piercing green eyes, 6'0", and his raven black hair that refused to do anything but stick up in all directions. He was wearing baggy blue jeans and a deep red button up shirt over a white under shirt. He looked good.

We all said hello, and when I received my hug from him, I held on a little longer than a friend should have, to show him I was interested. When I let go I was expecting to hear a "Hi Ginny" or a "How are you?". But no. the first thing he says to anyone is "Where's Hermione?". Now, granted, that's a pretty normal thing to say...after you greet your hosts. And I didn't like the look on his face when he said it. A little too cheery for my tastes.

As if on cue, the door opens and in walks Hermione. I was the only one facing the door, therefore, I was the only one that saw her. She put a finger to her lips signaling me to be quiet. I obeyed.

She walked stealthily towards Harry and whispered in his ear, "Lookin' for me?"

At the sound of her voice, Harry's face instantly lit up. He picked her up and spun around in a circle. He set her down after a while and she went to greet Ron. They hugged, and then she came to me. After we hugged and she stepped back, I got my first gook look at her. She was gorgeous. Her once bushy hair now straight and layered at her shoulders, clear complexion, mesmerizing eyes, and a great body standing at about 5'8". She was wearing snug dark blue jeans, a black sleeveless shirt that had chains on her shoulders and rips at her sides that had a pink star on it.

I sighed. Compared to her I looked ordinary. I had always prided myself on being the prettiest in our group. Now, of course, that was never really a problem because the old Hermione wasn't that much to look at, but I was still prettier, damnit. But those days, it seemed, were gone forever.

She went back to Harry's side and their hands instantly linked. I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all. They smiled and Harry cleared his throat. Uh oh.

"Um, guys," he started. "Earlier this summer, Hermione and I started hanging out a lot, and...well...I asked her to be my girlfriend."

Ron was shocked, but eventually went to congratulate the happy couple. I, on the other hand, was too shocked to do anything.

"When did this happen?" Ron asked excitedly.

"A few weeks ago," Hermione answered.

A few weeks ago?!?! Great. Not only did she become beautiful over the summer, she was smart, nice, brave, talented, and now...now she had the man of my dreams.

It was then that I got the idea to steal Harry from Hermione's clutches. I wish now that I could have known the repercussions of my actions...

A/N: So there it is. The first chapter in what I hope will be a full story. Hell, maybe even a series. I'm soooo sorry for not updating my other story, but like I said, I'm stuck. I hope you liked this though. Think of this story as my apology to you. Please review!!!!!!!!!! Till next time kiddies! "Happiness is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth."
