Ginny frowned slightly, having no idea what the two girls could possibly be talking about. Pureblood fanatics? Sounds like the Malfoy's or the Lestrange's... nah, they're too nice to be Malfoy's. Plus, they're in Gryffindor. And they said they were raised with "proper values"... I wonder what they mean by that... I should find out, just in case. "Urm, sorry, I think I may have missed a part of the conversation... What family is this?" she asked curiously.

"Ummm . . ." Syne started uncomfortably. "We really don't like saying right off because people tend to judge us by our name. I mean I don't blame them I have heard our cousin did absolutely horrible things when he was here.
"Don't worry," Mel cut in noticing the odd look on Ginny's face. "We're going to tell you. We only ask that you judge us by what you see of us and not our family.
"Our mother was a Ravenclaw and determined to redeam her families name, at least in part. Because of her views her family blacklisted her. Her name was blasted off of the family tree and until recently no member of that illustrious family," Syne sneered the last part. "even awknowledged her existance. Just after leaving Hogwarts she was brutally raped and her attacker was never identified, but because of that rape she was given us, and in shame moved to france where she raised us far away from the arguments about pureblood superiority." Syne paused really not wanting to give out her last name. This girl seemed really nice and once she found out she would probably turn away from them. They had both heard the stories of how Draco and Lucius had treated the Weasley's. "Our Mother's name is Karin Malfoy.

Ginny gulped slightly when her bemused guess turned out to be right.Malfoy's? Their cousin was obviously Draco, a name she'd rather forget. It was, in part, his fault that Dumbledore was dead. But the girls seemed to be different, they asked not to be judged by their family and weren't raised with those sick pureblood ideals, which made them okay in Ginny's book. She decided to trust them for now, there was no rush for her to make her opinion about them this very second.
Sighing, she replied, "Well that's a bit of a shock... But I won't judge you by your names if you don't act like Draco. After all, it isn't your fault that you were born into that family, as much as I have no choice about what family I was born into, not that there's anything wrong with mine..." She smiled, slowly getting over the shock of meeting more Malfoy's. "In other words, I'll give you a chance. That cousin of yours, however," she began, her nose wrinkling in distaste and a refusal to say his name, "is a lost cause."

"Tell me about it." Syne laughed. "We spent our summer thinking up new and industrious ways to torture him and seeing as he can't leave his wing of the mannor . . ." Syne paused for dramatic affect allowing Mel to finish for her.
"Well, he was kind of like our guinea pig so to speak or I think Ferret is the more appropriate term." Mel said laughing. "Yeah, we heard about that one. He was ranting about it and well his temper didn't improve as we were rolling on the floor laughing at him the whole time.

Ginny laughed, a wide grin on her face. "I'd have loved to see his face..." she remarked, her eyes sparkling slightly. Wait, that means Draco's at Malfoy Manor... So the little ferret didn't flee the country like dad said he would, she thought to herself optimistically. If he was still at the Wiltshire Manor, there was a chance the Aurors would still be able to catch him. She beamed at this thought. The girls didn't seem to be turning out as badly as she thought they would, now that their family had been revealed.

Syne clasped her hand over her mouth "Uncle Lucius will kill me!" She exclaimed "I was told not to reveal that to anyone. Normally I wouldn't care and would tell just because that git told me not to, but . . ." She put her head in her hands
"He threatened our younger brother, Ares, if we told." Mel finished putting a hand around her sisters shoulders.

"I promise I won't tell a soul about it." Ginny promised earnestly. She didn't want Mnemosyne and Melpomene to get in trouble on her behalf. Her father would have scolded her for not telling him if he knew she knew, but he didn't so it wasn't a big deal. It just meant that the authorities would have to catch up to Draco in their own time.

Syne sighed in relief. "If it was just me and Mel you could tell the whole world for all we would care but Ares is only 7 and he lives at Malfoy Manor . . ."
Mel nodded "He is the only one we are worried about but thank you. It means alot that you would keep something like this a secret to protect our little brother."

Ginny nodded in understanding. "I would do the same thing for my brothers, if they were in Ares' situation. Except they're all older than me and they can protect themselves, so really it's usually them protecting me." Quickly, she saw fit to add, "Not that I can't protect myself, because I can..." She sighed. "So, is it a handful living with the Malfoys? It just seems to me that you don't exactly enjoy it."

The twin's laughed.
"Not really," Said Syne.
"But you try being told everyday," Mel put in.
"That your mother is a Bloodtratior"
"And your not to speak about her or write to her."
"Not only that but we were given lists." Syne said nodding in mock seriousness
"Detailing how we were to behave" Mel continued.
"And who we could or couldn't talk to." Syne finished "Your name was near the top of the can't talk to by the way but I am sure that doesn't suprise you. It was only beaten by what Draco calls the Golden Trio or Harry Potter, your brother Ron and and the school nurse Miss Granger."
"As you can see," Mel added "We could care less what they say but yeah it can be a bit ackward living at Malfoy manor. Wish we could go back to mum in Edinburgh but the ministry won't let us.
"Uncle Lucius had mum declared unfit, seeing how all of us were born out of wedlock." Syne added to her sister's comment.
"Made her sound like some kind of cheap, street walker." Mel groused.

Ginny laughed as the girls finished each other's sentences. She and her siblings had never been that close. Being the youngest, she was of course, closer to Ron, Fred and George than the others, but a lot of the time while growing up they had tried to spend time away from her, deeming her their annoying little sister. She sighed inaudibly at the thought. Laughing at the fact that her name was at the top of the list, she grinned. "I'm not surprise. My family are known as Blood-Traitors to almost everyone." She laughed again as Syne called Hermione, 'Miss Granger.' She supposed that that was what most people would have to call her that now, but Ginny was going to stick to plain old 'Hermione'.
"As you can see. We could care less what they say but yeah it can be a bit ackward living at Malfoy manor. Wish we could go back to mum in Edinburgh but the ministry won't let us.
"Uncle Lucius had mum declared unfit, seeing how all of us were born out of wedlock."
Ginny bit her lip slightly, a rather bemused look on her face. "That seems to be going a bit far, doesn't it? I mean just because she wasn't married when she had her children... It seems awfully harsh."

Syne shrugged. "Who knows what Uncle Lucius was thinking. I think that he has something else up his sleeve and this was just a means to an end."
"Yeah," Mel agreed. "I'm sure uncle Lucius had the judge in his pocket."

"Maybe she knew something that Lucius didn't want anyone to find out, so he had her declared 'unfit' for personal reasons. I mean obviously it was personal anyway, but well, you understand what I mean. Dad always said that Lucius bribed his way to the top. That's why he hates him so much. He likes being honest to get places instead of corruption. I think he likes to think it doesn't exist, so he ignores it where he can. Plus, it isn't like he can do much about it, right?" she said rhetorically, a grim smile on her face.

"Enough of our family" Mel said "The only one worth talking about is Mum and well we don't exactly communicate much with her and what we do has to be secret. We're not technically allowed, you see."
((LoL I think they have killed the subject of Lucius and Draco. They need new blood. LOL Unfourtunately it is again 4 am here and I must to bed. LOL You really should read Dancing with shaddows. I put a link in the potions class board. LOL))

((OOC: Yeah, I agree lol. I skimmed over it and it was good. I thank you for that, because now I know what Ginny's Boggart can be.))
"Oh," said Ginny quietly, nodding in understanding. "I have an interesting family, too, I suppose. Fred and George are the trouble-makers in the family... but Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes are brilliant. I don't see a lot of Bill and Charlie, they both left school before I started. Percy... he's a foul, arrogant git. Ron's just Ron. Mum and Dad are both overprotective, but I love them to bits. That's practically a summary of my whole family." She wrinkled her nose slightly, shrugging. "Maybe we aren't as interesting as I thought."
