The Hour Of Midnight.

Ginny Weasley

Delilah Sylvio woke up to see her world completely changed. After checking nothing was wrong with her, madam pompfrey allowed her to leave the hospital wing.Sufficient to say she was in an automatic pilot program all along. After finding the great hall by following one hermione granger, she managed to find the great hall.

When she sat in the gryiffindor table, no one seemed to find it strange, so I guess her house is indeed the house of lions. Some kids were trying to get her to talk about her encounter with the basilisk. Which seemed to be enough push to wake her conscience. Before she can open her mouth to make up something though, a girl with flaming red hair and freckles spoke in her place instead.

"Leave her alone. Don't you have enough sense to know that people normally don't want to relive their traumatic experience. " She said to the people gathered around me. That seemed to work the charm as they all dispersed fastly after that . Delilah blinked her eyes in confounded manner. The red head turned her attention on her and looked into her eyes. That's when Delilah noticed tears in her eyes.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you. " The girl who she was sure is ginny weasley whispered to her. Delilah was scrambling to hold on to a single thought in her scatter brain to help this situation.

'Oh yes, If hermione was petrified then the story should have reached the second year book.That means Voldemort should have possessed ginny weasley to continue his noble work of ridding the school of muggle borns but subsequently got destroyed. She must apologizing for her part in this entire fiasco. ' Del was still staring blankly at ginny. 'So what should I say now. It looks like she's expecting some kind of response from me, one of the 'victims' in this whole event.' Del opened her mouth after finding her voice, "it's alright. It wasn't like you were trying to delibrately off me for real. You were forced to do what you did, so don't beat yourself over it . You are also a victim in this situation. "

Ginny weasley seemed to be gobsmaked. It was true that whatever had happened during this whole thing, she played a vital role in it and even though she didn't mean to do any of those things, it doesn't really change anything.It was her fault that she got possesed and it was her fault that ron's friend and everyone else got petrified. She couldn't stop blaming herself for all of this. When she was sinking in to the self made pool of pity again, a voice broke through the surface "You know, this was not really your fault, right. " She looked up and saw the girl, she couldn't remember her name was looking at her with an impassive face.

Ginny felt anger started to boil in her and when she was about to retort in a cutting manner , "By making yourself to be the attacker, you are giving the real one a chance to escape from what he really deserve and giving him a scapegoat. " Ginny was startled to hear that point.

"Even the strongest of us would have succumb into the thing that you have gone through. But you, you still pullled through.You should feel proud of yourself instead of feeling sorry ." Del really couldn't belive the word diarrhea that is coming from her but she still pushed through. "So yes, what I'm trying to say is stop wallowing in self pity and walk with your back straight knowing that what didn't kill you made you stronger. "

Then only Delilah noticed that somewhere in between her rant, her surrounding had became quiet at some point. She slowly turned her head around to see everyone looking at her in awe and shock. She heard a small sniffing and before she knew something slammed into her, toppling her backward.

Ginny weasley was crying her heart out in her arms. Del awkwardly patted her back, "There, there, stop crying. " Ginny snorted and said in a small voice, "Merlin's beard, you are awful. " Del eyes opened wide in shock, when she was going to defend herself, "Thank you. " Was spoken in a soft mosquito voice.

Someone or rather two people came to stand behind them at some point. They pulled Ginny apart from her and helped her up by grabbing her shoulders. "Now, now gin you shouldn't really start to assailant someone after so soon. " Said tall red head one and the one behind her continued, "yea ginnikins, and that in front everybody , merlin it's like we have taught her nothing George. " The red head one agreed, "Right you are ,fred. "

Ginny seemed to finally had enough of her brothers, " Get off me Fred, George , now. " Fred the one who was holding her, suddenly squated down and came on to her face and looked at her intently. All the while del could only look blankly at the drama that they were showing to the whole school.

Whatever that Fred seemed to be searching for must have been found on her face as he now had a big grin on his face that was border creepy. Someone in the back told him to cut it off in a very dignified manner. Who Del persumes must be another weasley.

"Could you please get your hands off of me and back off, weasley. " Del said in a sarcastic monotone . "I'm afraid, I can't do that good Lady. My hands are comfortable where they are. " Fred said in a teasing voice. Her left eye twitched, she spoke with a thinly veiled threat in her voice, "I wasn't exactly asking weasley.I was being polite. Now back off before I slap you in your face. "

Someone started to laugh and that seemed to fluster Fred weasley even more as he came out his shock. Del pushed his hands of her and took her place in the table again. Come to think of it, she really shouldn't have done that as that seemed to be the agent of catalyst that started the whole madness. But of course she didn't know that back then.
