Now on with the story:

Ginny gathered her things quickly, running down the stairs to the common room. She was meeting the other six and seventh year Gryffindors for a game they had begun with the six and seventh years from the other Houses, even the Slytherins. The war was pushing down on them, and they had come up with a way to escape it for a few hours. They all met in the Room of Requirement every Friday night. It was a game of music. Muggle rock music had become popular at Hogwarts, but since none of the devices that would play a cd or tape would work within the castle, they figured out a way to play the music with spells. At first they\'d just played songs they liked, but it had evolved. Now they would mix songs together or play them regularly, they could present them in any way they chose, and at the end of the meeting each week, would draw a randelecelection from a bowl, and whatever it said, they prepared a song along those guidelines. It got them to know each other a little better, and for a few glorious hours, forget about the war raging outside the castle walls.

\"Gin, come on! We\'re gonna be late!\" Ron shouted, waving her over.

\"I\'m coming. Could you be morpatipatient?\" Ginny asked.

They filed out of the common room, all being as quiet as possibleey wey were pretty positive Dumbledore knew about their meetings, but none of them wanted to miss one because of a pissed off Filch, either. Tonight\'s songs were supposed to be about how they felt for the dominating parental figure in their lives. When that had been pulled out of the bowl, a very pissed off Draco Malfoy had looked around in disgust before leaving. And looked hot doing it, she thought to herself. She had gotten over the fact that her brothers would kill her if they knew how badly she wanted to shag Draco Malfoy. The only problem left was convincing him. She had no idea how to do that. Nearly every girl in school had thrown herself at him more than once, and how could she compete with them? A lot of those girls were beautiful, and while she could admit she was okay, she wasn\'t anywhere near beautiful. Her freckles, her red hair, her height...Although Draco was still about five inches taller than her, not that it mattered. She saw the door to the room ahead, and quickened her pace. Ron, Harry and Hermione ran to catch up with her, and they heard voices float around the corner.

\"Absolutely not!\" Draco\'s voice hissed.

\"You have to, Dray! That\'s the whole point to all of this!\" That sounded like Blaise.

\"And why should I? It\'s none of their business.\" Draco practically snarled.

\"We both are, and so are the other Slytherins.\" Pansy, Ginny was sure that was Pansy\'s voice. \"This is what we agreed to, Draco. Just think about it, okay?\"

\"Fine. I\'ll bloody think about it.\" Draco said sarcastically as they appeared around the corner. Ron had pulled them into the shadows when they heard Draco\'s voice, and they stepped out of them now. They all entered the room, seeing the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had already arrived. They fanned out and sat on the cushions strown all over the place. Hannah Abbot stood once they had all sat down.

\"Alright, we\'ll start with the Ravenclaws tonight.\" She said. \"Jewels, you start.\" The Hufflepuffs went after the Ravenclaws, and then it was Gryffindor\'s turn. Harry played a sad song about missing his parents, Hermione had a funny song about a dentist, Ron played \'Cookies and Screwdrivers\', and Ginny had pieced a few songs into one. The rest of the Gryffindors finished, then the Slytherins. Draco was the last to go, and he looked rebellious. Blaise elbowed him.

\"Come on, Draco.\" He said, the closest to pleading I had ever heard from him. Draco just glared at him.

\"What\'s wrong, Malfoy?\" Ron asked mockingly. \"To stupid to come up with anything?\" We all knew that was absurd. Draco and Hermione constantly battled for top student of their year.

\"Fine!\" Draco said through clenched teeth. \"You all want to hear it so bloody bad? Here you go.\" The lights cut off suddenly and a few people screamed. But deep flashes and pulses of colored lightre cre coming from nowhere and everywhere. Guitars and drums filled the silence, and the lights swirled, twisted and reformed to the beahen hen the song started.

\'Insane - Am I the only muthafucka with a brain?
I\'m hearing voices but all they do is complain w maw many times have you wanted to kill
Everything and everyone - Say you\'ll do it but never will

I am my Father\'s son - Cuz he\'s a phantom,
A mystery and that leaves me - nothing!
How many times have you wanted to die?
It\'s too late for me - All you have to do is get rid of me

It\'s all in your head
It\'s all in my head
It\'s all in your head

I tried - You lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go, there\'s a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesn\'t matter if I give a shit
It\'s shit that you gave me

Do you wanna feel pain? Takin\' my name in vain
Caring never felt ame ame inside
Anybody else got pride? Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe I\'ll reverse my ride
Who the fuck are you? Fuck you!
Better suck it up cuz you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me!

You got all my love, livin\' in your own hate
Drippin\' hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nuthin\', but I ain\'t holdin\' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain\'t a fucking thing you can do
Get this cuz you\'re never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be

Can\'t be real no more - Your mask is skin and bone
Savor every flavor you want cuz it\'s not your own
Bad-ass at bat, man - Forget about the battle,
It\'s the war we gotta win - Breathe!

My freedom is best
Whole country\'s on house arrest
And everyone\'s a suspect
You can\'t feel the flow because you died
Face down on a \"suicide\"
The muthafucker\'s on self-destruct
Nobody\'s guardin\' your back, it\'s all a front

I can\'t remember, I don\'t understand,
Is it malice that makes you this way?
Carry it with you \'til someone forgives you
I laugh cuz there\'s nothing to say
You can\'t begin to consider the papable
Hate in the air when you\'re near
None of us wonder what weather you\'re under
You\'re making it perfectly clear

Lights ain\'t on - shit ain\'t right
Never had peace so I had to fight
Can you look in my eyes when my back\'s against
The wall, slash at my eyes, surprise, you\'ll never get me

I\'m cold, I\'m ugly
I\'m always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie

It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes
My heros are dead, they died in my head
Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again

Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today, forget whatever happened
Everyday I see a little more of overall deficiencies
I\'m nothing short of being one complete catastrophe

What the hell - did I - do to deserve - all of this?

I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens
I decrease, while my symptoms increase

God what the fuck is wrong?
You act like you knew it all along
Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing
All I ever wanted out of you was
Something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What you\'ve fucking done to me!

Gimme any reason why I\'d need you
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimme any reason why I\'d need you, bitch
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up

I see you in me

I keep my scarom rom prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe, I\'ve got to have an answer-
\"Only one of us walks away\"

All I hear is human noise
You made your own fuckin\' choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry

I can die over time
Filthy hands, stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch - death is fine, gimme mine

You are wrong, fucked, and overrated
I think I\'m gonna be sick and it\'s your fault
This is the end of everything
You are the end of everything
I haven\'t slept since I woke up
And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker
This is the end of everything
You are the end of everything

Shallow skin, I can paint with pain
I mark the trails on my arms from your disdain
Everyday it\'s the same - I LOVE YOU HATE!
But I guess I don\'t care anymore...
Fix my problems with the blade
While my eyes turned from blue to gray
Gods, the worst thing happened to me today
But I guess I don\'t care anymore

My flaws are the only thing left that\'s pure
Can\'t really live, can\'t really endure
Everything I see reminds me of her
God I wish I didn\'t care anymore
The more I touch, the less I feel
I\'m lying to myself that it\'s not real
Why is everybodkingking such a big fucking deal?
I\'m never gonna care anymore

Where the hell am I going?
Do I even need a reason to hide?
I am only betrayed
I am only conditioned to die

I\'m in cptioptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone
The everyday bullshit things that you have done

Your impossible ego fuck is like a
Megalomaniacal tab on my tonque
You fuckin\' touch me and I will rip you apart
I\'ll reach in and take a bite out of that
Shit you call a heart...

I don\'t mind being ogled, ridiculed
Made to feel minuscule
If you consider the source, it\'s kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is...
...that\'s all you\'ll ever know

I know why you blame me (yourself)
I know why you plague me (yourself)

Who\'s better? It\'s not that simple
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
It\'s not a word, it\'s a problem, the problem was easy
Draw your conclusions - solutions?
Anybody else wanna run?
Contorting, distorting - I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?

Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you
Kill you - fuck you - I wilver ver be you
I can\'t fuckin\' take it anymore
A snap of the synapse
And now it\'s fuckin\' war
Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you.\'

The lights pulsed once more and the room seemed frozen. Everyone else\'s songs had been happy, sad, funny, dull, even whining or uncaring, but no one\'s had been full of such rage and hate. The only others who came close were the other Slytherins, but Draco had somehow made us feel it. No one else seemed to have considered the way the Slytherins would feel with such a topic, especially Draco. But Ginny had. She had read the papers and cried when she saw the headline \'Lucius Malfoy Kills Wife In Front Of Sixteen Year Old Heir\'. The article explained that Lucius had gone into a rage when his son, Draco, publicly snubbed Voldemort in front of all of the Dark Lord\'s followers at his would\'ve-been initiation, and portkeyed to safety with the nine of his friends and fellow Slytherins who were also there to be initiated and had refused. Immediately upon returning to safety, the ten teenagers were given control over their families\' monies, lands, titles, and assets due to the fact they had used a Recorder charm at the mask-less meeting. Every one of their fathers had been convicted and exiled.

When Albus Dumbledore, Draco, and the Aurors had gone to the Manor to change the old magic guarding the property to answer only to Draco as the Manor\'s new Master, Lucius was waiting for them. He never gave Dumbledore or Draco a chance to speak, just killed Narcissa as she screamed out to Draco that she loved him as soon as he had appeared. Less than a second later she was dead, and something inside Draco snapped, or so they say. A huge release of raw power had shot out from him without the use of a wand at all, and had charred and burned everything until it reached Lucius, somehow going around the other wizards. It slammed into his father just as Lucius portkeyed away, stopping short of the Manor. No one could say for sure whether it killed Lucius or not, but they believe him to be alive, and that he is almost surely maimed from the power that did hit him. Ginny looked up at where Draco stood with Blaise and Pansy, but he wareadready gone. No one said much as everyone stood and left the room for their dormitories. But Ginny\'s mind was racing. She had decided to go through with the plan that before tonight had only been a joke, dream, wish, whatever you wanted to call it, but she was now going to make a reality, however hopeless it was.

--------------------

The next Friday rolled around and Ginny was prepared. Her best friend, Lauren, had helped her even though she still couldn\'t quite believe that Ginny would actually do it. Sure they had talked about it, but that was all it had been. Talk. Now though, Gin wanted to take it to a whole new level. Lauren could only pray it would work. But she still couldn\'t believe Ginny would do it. She was too shy, everyone knew that, especially Lauren. She was her best friend, after all. But secretly, Lauren really hoped her friend could pull this off. And while she was attempting to do it, Lauren had her own job to do, and it involved the aid of a Miss Hermione Granger and The Boy Who Bloody Lived. She had just discussed it with them and had raced back to Gryffindor to tell Gin. She threw open the door to their dorm and plopped next to Ginny on her bed.

\"How\'d it go?\" Ginny asked her.

\"Fine. They agreed, but kept trying to get me to say exactly what you were going to do. I just told them that it was perfectly safe and harmless, that the only way anyone would get hurt is if they didn\'t help, and did they really think I would let my best friend in the world do something that could hurt her? They finally agreed only on the condition that they know everything by morning. I assured them that after your spectacle later they should have the gist, and we\'d fill them in later.\"

\"Perfect!\" Ginny exclaimed. \"You\'re the best!\" Then her voice lost some of it\'s excitement. \"Oh, look. It\'s almost time.\" She said nervously.

\"You\'ll be fine.\" Lauren assured her, hoping it was true.

\"Alright, I can do this.\" Ginny said, standing.

\"Do you have them on under those?\" Lauren asked, pointing at Ginny\'s robes.

\"Yeah. And hey, if it works, I can find out if Blaise likes you.\"

\"Riiiiiiight. Yeah, if that happens, just tell him touct uct me and have his wicked way with my body.\" Lauren said, rolling her eyes.

\"Hmmm...We\'ll see. Let\'s go.\"

\"Wait! Your hair! Hold on.\" Lauren said, getting up and pointing her wand at Ginny\'s hair.

\"Plaitenesco.\"

Ginny\'s hair wound itself into tiny braids with little silver ribbons twisted through them. The braids hung to her waist, and the silver went with the firey red curls beautifully. They headed down to the common room and met up with the others. A few looked at Ginny\'s hair, but shrugged it off to Weasley Wierdness, as everyone loved to call it. When they got to the Room of Requirement, the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws were already there, once again. The Slytherins came about five minutes later, and Lauren\'s breath caught when she saw Blaise. The Ravenclaws went first tonight. The subject was supposed to be about how you felt for someone else in the room, and that\'s why it was Gin\'s perfect oppurtunity. The Ravenclaws\' songs were mostly about shared feelings, the Hufflepuffs centered around undying, forever-flowery love, and then it was time. I sucked in a breath when Ginny\'s name was called. Everyone knew it was going to be interesting because as soon as they called for her, Harry, Hermione and I grabbed hol holding him down. Hermione and I sat on him, me on his legs and her on his stomach, while Harry held his arms.

\"What the-! YOU BLOODY TRAITORS!! SHE\'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING STUPID ISN\'T SHE?!? LET ME UP, YOU GODDAMN BAST-\"

Hermione put a silencing charm on him, and we turned to watch. All of the single guys (and some of the not-so-single guys) looked at Ginny hopefully as she stood. She had done the makeup spell apparently, as her eyes were rimmed in black kohl, with dark green smoky eyeshadow, and light, sparkly silver lip gloss covered her full lips. She let her robes slide from her shoulders, revealing what she wore underneath. It was her school uniform, only altered a bit. Basically, it was y tey teenage boy\'s, muggles and wizards alike, fantasy come true. The white shirt was trimmed in green and clung to her like a second skin. It was open far enough to show alot of cleavage, while the bottom hadn\'t been buttoned at all, but tied up to reveal a smooth, tight stomach. Her silver navel piercing that no one knew little, innocent Ginny had was fully revealed. The skirt had been shortened considerably, the colors changed to green and silver, and showed off her long, long legs that were wrapped in green and silver striped tights that disappeared into black knee-high dragonhide boots. The boys were drooling all over themselves, not thinking at all, but Lauren knew the girls were already questioning her color choices. Ginny looked beautiful, even if she didn\'t realize it. Lauren sent up another prayer, hoping this would work. Ginny flicked her wand and the lights dropped, thousands of candles appearing from nowhere as the music started, slightly altered from the originals.

\'I\'m drunk, and right now I\'m so in love with you
And I don\'t want to think too much about what we should or shouldn\'t do
Lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car
Nothing quite like the feel of something new.\'

Ginny had begun to dance seductively as if she had been born to this, and every eye was on her, hardly believing this was shy little Gineasleasley, and that she had been hiding that under those baggy clothes and robes all this time.

\'Maybe I\'m all messed up, maybe I\'m all messed up
Maybe I\'m all messed up in you, maybe I\'m all messed up
Maybe I\'m all messed up, maybe I\'m all messed up in you

This is the only time I really feel alive
This is the only time I really feel alive
I swear I just found everything I need
The sweat in your eyes, the blood in your veins
Are listening to me.\'

Ginny kept dancing, never giving anybody any particular attention, though she had to know that\'s exactly what they wanted. They wanted to know who had caused Ginny to come out of her shell and turn into a sex goddess.

\' Well I want to wrap it up
And swim in it until I drown
My moral standing is lying down
Nothing quite like the feel
Of something new

Maybe I\'m all messed up, maybe I\'m all messed up
Maybe I\'m all messed up in you, maybe I\'m all messed up
Maybe I\'m all messed up, maybe I\'m all messed up in you

This is the only time I really feel alive.\'

The tempo changed, and Ginny\'s movements became more sensual.

\' Will you let me violate you, will you let me desecrate you
Will you let me penetrate you, will you let me complicate you?\'

Those words would have guaranteed everyone\'s attention if it hadn\'t already been glued to her.

\'Help me, I broke apart my insides, help me, I\'ve got no soul to sell
Help me, the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself.\'

Ginny changed her course when it seemed she was heading for a suddenly love-sick Justin Finch-Fletchey, and stalked towards Draco Malfoy, all the while hypnotizing the room with her body as she moved to the music.

\'I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you fthe the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed.\'

Ginny shoved Draco backwards and he fell gracefully into an armless chair. She lowered herself onto his lap, swaying and grinding against him. It wasn\'t until then that realization dawned on everyone that this was Ginny Weasley giving Draco Malfoy a very graphic, very provacative, and highly arousing lap dance. No wonder they had to physically restrain Ron.

\'You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything.\'

It seemed that Draco and Ginny were enjoying themselves quite a bit as everyone stared dumbly with their mouths hanging open.

\'Help me tear down my reason,
Help me, it\'s your sex I can smell
Help me, you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else.\'

Ginny grabbed Draco by the hair, slamming her lips on his and kissing him hungrily as he answered in kind, his hands all over her as she writhed against him.

\'I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god.\'

They broke apart as the music ended, and before anyone could find their voices, Draco scooped her up in his arms. He waved his wand to play the song he had prepared as he glided out of the room with Ginny giggling the whole time. The song (also slightly altered) started and everyone just stood completely still, dumbfounded.

\'I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head \'till I don\'t want to sleep anymore

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I\'m down to just one thing
And I\'m starting to scare myself

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn\'t do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Gray would be the color if I had a heart

In this place it seems like such a shame
Though it all looks different now,
I know it\'s still the same
Everywhere I look you\'re all I see
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be
Come on, tell me

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I\'m down to just one thing
And I\'m starting to scare myself

You make this all go away
You make it all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have

It\'s still getting worse after everything I tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside?
What if she touches with those fingertips?
As the words spill out like fire from her lips.

If she says come inside, I\'ll come inside for her.
If she says five it all, I\'ll give everything to her.
I am justified.
I am purified.
I am sanctified.
Inside you.

Heaven\'s just a rumor she\'ll dispel.
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
I still dream of lips that never could be kissed.
Well, she knows exactly what I can\'t resist.

I\'m just caught up in another of her spells.
She\'s turning me into someone else.
Everyday I hope and pray this will end,
But when can I do it all again?

If she says come inside, I\'ll come inside for her.
If she says five it all, I\'ll give everything to her.
I am justified.
I am purified.
I am sanctified.
Inside you.

As surely as the blades course is run,
Maybe my kingdom\'s finally come.\'

After Lauren got over the shock of seeing her best friend in an entirely new light, and the shock of realizing Draco liked her too, she realized Ron had stopped struggling awhile ago. She poked Hermione and they looked down to see that Ron had fainted. She got up slowly, seeing the shocked faces of the students around her. Hermione woke Ron up, and he immediately began screaming.

\"WHERE IS SHE?!?\" He jumped to his feet, looking around wildly. \"No, better yet, where is HE?\"

\"They...left, Ron.\" Harry said nervously.

\"WHAT?!?\"

\"And you can\'t get mad at Malfoy over this,\" Hermione added hesitantly.

\"WHY THE HELL NOT?\" He yelled, his face the same color as his hair.

\"Because it was entirely Gin\'s doing.\" Lauren said. \"She\'s had it planned for a week.\"

Ron paled, sinking to the floor and muttering about murder. Later that night as a hand reached out from the shadows and pulled Lauren into an abandoned classroom, thoughts of Death Eaters exploded in her skull. Before she could scream, a mouth closed on her\'s. She opened her eyes slightly, and nearly fainted herself. Blaise, ohmigods it\'s really Blaise. She kissed him back furiously as her back was slammed into a wall. Her legs wrapped around his waist as his hands came up under her thighs to support her. A million thoughts should have been running through her mind, but everything seemed to have shut down besides touch and smell. His scent enveloped her as her hands worked at his belt, and one thought did make it through the sensual pleasure her brain was fogged up with. Thank the gods Ginny pulled it off, and thank they gods she took my words literally.
