Just A Rooster, PG - Ginny - COS /A little AU

When:Set during COS, but just a little AU (or is it.)
Who: Ginny's POV
What: What if Ginny realised what was going on with Riddle? Maybe she didn't have 'missing time' at all...
Rating: PG



I am, most definitely, a Weasley. I have bright red hair, rashes of freckles and an insatiable appetite. I am passionate, enjoy a good joke and am a Gryffindor to my very core: brave, noble and above all else daring.

I am also, most definitely, not a Weasley. I am ambitious, I am willing to sacrifice anything to achieve my goals and I am evil to my very core: malicious, merciless and above all else selfish. I can deal with having a split personality. But someday soon I am going to have to decide which side I’m on, because as much as I’d like it to be, I don’t think my own is a choice.

This occurred to me yesterday as I was sacrificing another of Hagrid’s roosters to Woden, out in my clearing in the forbidden forest. There I was about to make the final blow when it struck me that this sort of behaviour was completely incongruous with my morals. I did not involve myself in Dark Arts, that was wrong. Yet here I was, happily murdering a poor defenceless animal, simply to augment my already considerable magical abilities.

A Weasley would not stoop so low as to trade life for power. A Gryffindor would not allow herself to be goaded into doing something against her beliefs by a diary. No matter how convincing that diary was. Never trust something that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brains, my father used to say. But I know where my diary’s brains are. They are here within me, because we are one. I swing the blade, a perfect aim, and pour the blood in a circle. I’ll regret it later when Tom’s influence wears off. But for now I am most definitely not a Weasley.

Cool creative writing!

Thought this was the most powerful bit!! (tho' it's missing a 'like')

Thanks for sharing it!

fixed!

Ooooohhhh...that was scary....but cool.

Poor Ginny. Split personalities are hard.

Thanks HRulez.

I think I have Woden on the brain lately. The protagonist of my other recent fic's name os Woden and here is Ginny sacraficing a rooster to Woden. I think it has to do with etmology. She I like to know what names mean and I've found out recently my wife's surname (Well the second half of the hyphen: Wensley) means "from the valley of Woden," which we thinks makes her family some sort of Pagans: of the spice selling variety (the first half of the hyphenation is Spicer.)
