When Voldemort meets Ginny Weasley, standing a step behind Harry and flanked by Death Eaters, there's a moment where Harry thinks he's going to say something stupid. But then, of course, Voldemort says, "Kill them." Which, Harry supposes, is a bit stupid. Inconvenient, possibly, would express his feelings more precisely. There's an expression on Ginny's face that's mingled pity and shame, a kind of hotness behind her ears that Harry's only seen a few times. And most of those weren't the kind he'd really like to associate with imminent gruesome death. That's the point at which he realises that he's misread the situation and the person about to say something stupid is Ginny. Ginny, who says, "You're not beautiful any more."
Which gives Voldemort pause. But only a short pause. "I am feared, however."
"I do not fear you."
Voldemort glances at Harry before smiling softly, stroking the tip of his wand. "That is no matter, little girl," he says. "You will die anyway."

This is utterly wonderful. Harry noticing her look, and its implications, Voldemort acknowledging her -- ! You always do Tom SO well, in all his forms. And I love this Ginny.

thankyou. i cheated ever so slightly by using harry pov but it was fun to do. ahahaha, tbh with tom, i think i've done him so many times that the challenge is trying to do something new with him-- even given all the lovely HBP childhood stuff...
