Adam

December 3rd 1996

Adam sat alone in the common room feeling miserable. He was alone because Ginny was in detention and no one else could tolerate him when he was in a foul mood. He was miserable because Ginny was in detention because of him, and his scar had been prickling on and off all for the last two days.

Adam spent most of the evening futilely poking at an essay, attempting to translate his thoughts into legible writing. It wasn't working, so he resigned himself to reading one of his books until Ginny returned.

Ginny returned a couple of hours later. As soon as she stepped in through the portrait hole, Adam noticed immediately that she was cradling her hand.

"Hi," he said as she came and sat down next him.

"Hi," she said in a quiet voice.

"What's the matter with your hand?" Adam demanded.

"Oh, nothing..." she said evasively.

"Come on," Adam coaxed kindly. "Let me take a look."

"No! No!" Ginny exclaimed as she clutched the hand tighter to her chest. "I'm alright!"

Adam moved his hand carefully up her arm until it cradled her hand. Ginny whimpered slightly at his touch as Adam slowly and gently pulled her hand towards him.

What he saw made his blood boil in a way he had never felt before. On her hand was a series of long, raw, scratches as if someone had been scraping away at it.

"Did Umbridge do this?" Adam demanded angrily.

Ginny nodded faintly. "She made me use this Quill..." she said.

"A Quill did this?" Adam asked, appalled. He shot up from his seat feeling incredibly angry that Umbridge had dared to hurt Ginny.

"Adam!" Ginny cried. "Please, no!"

Adam stared at Ginny for a moment, before sinking down into the seat next to her. He put his arm around her and pulled her close.

"What did she do to you?" he asked.

"Just made me write with this Quill. It wrote what I wrote on my hand."

"You can't go again!" Adam exclaimed. "Not if it's hurting you!"

"I need to! Dumbledore isn't here and she won't listen to McGonagall! What can I do?"

Adam paused. "Just don't go!"

Ginny sighed. "It'll only make it worse! I have to go," she trailed off. "I... I didn't want you to worry; you have enough on your plate."

Adam picked up Ginny's hand and examined it.

"It's even done something to the other side... look!" he exclaimed. "It's all red on your palm."

"Oh," was all that Ginny replied. "Adam..." she began. "Can you please just leave it? It's my problem... and I... I just don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Okay," Adam said softly, putting his arm back around her around her.

Adam wasn't going to give up though. He wasn't going to let anyone hurt Ginny, not if he could help it.

Ginny

I will not question the Ministry.

I will not question the Ministry.

I will not question the Ministry.

Ginny had written the line that Umbridge had given her three times before she had to stop briefly to let the pain fade.
