“Witty and sophisticated without being overly analytical; the public has grown tired of reading monotonous text books upon the lives of Dark War figure heads, and firmly believe wizarding and muggle society alike have found a kindred spirit in the wonderful Earl.”
-The Ba and Ka Daily News
“Rich and hypnotic…beautifully depicted descriptions and attention to detail. Mr. Potter hits very close to home, and the bond between the Dark Lord and his Lady has never before been so realistically, yet dinglingly related.”
- Society of Magical and Non-Magical Relations
“Virginia Weasely is no longer the painted Jezebel of legend…we now find her stunningly refreshing and mercifully human…”
-American Times
“Compelling.”
-Djinn World
“While his other saga, ‘Oedipus Revealed’ might have been a flop, this is a piece of art that lovingly blends fictionalized style and historical fact together, creating a classic work that the professors and romantics of all ages will love.”
-Atlantis Reviews
“Tangible Magic”

An Unexpected Traitor: Guile’s Guileless Façade

For my ancestors, who sacrificed so much
in the hopes of attaining a better world.
For Love, who is the most malevolent God of all.
The following is a note from the author of this biography concerning the remarkable life of one, Virginia Weasely, a figure that has now become nearly indistinguishable from myth, fact, and legend.
-Circe Publishing House Editor, P.T. Williams
I would like for you, the reader, to be aware that this rendition of Virginia's life is a blend of my own personal insights, hunches, and theories into what I believe Virginia Weasely's motivations and reasons might have been for becoming the Commanding General to the Deatheater armies, as well as personal consort of Lord Voldemort and mother to his heir. I would also like for you to keep in mind that this reaccounting of what I have learned of Virginia Weasely is by no means one hundred percent fact, as even a specialist as myself hasn't the privilege of attesting that this work is completely trustworthy and historically sound. I have no intention of infringing upon the works of my colleagues, and wish to dedicate this novel to my fellow historians, scientists, and professors of Magical Culture that have made a tremendous effort to aid me in this difficult, albeit rewarding endeavor.
My intentions within this biography are to give Virginia Weasely a degree of the humanity that has been robbed from her image through out these last centuries after her death. I have set forth to prove that she was not the monster that young mothers and fathers tell frightening tales of to their children at night before bedtime. It is my goal to give substantial evidence that, while she may have fully understood what consequences her choices would eventually bring, she did in fact, not wish for the muggle race to be exterminated. I know that what I have just briefly stated here shall by now have invited the full wrath of hell upon my head by critics of this work, but it is my mission to make this message clearly known, and very hopefully sympathized with. Virginia Weasely's involvement with Tom Marvolo Riddle, or more widely, loathsomely known as Lord Voldemort, was not the simple, naive romance that many misinformed individuals have painted it to be. There was a web of infinite complexity to their relationship, as any worthy students of the Dark Wars is capable of learning once they have sufficiently researched the aspects of their relationship and bizarre affinity to one another.
I have decided to use the first-person point of view for this novel; on the basis that I feel it will subject the majority of the general audiences to the greatest impact available. It shall also provide a means of pulling compassion from the reader for the humilities and trials that Virginia Weasely encounters within the period leading up to her coercion into her mate's ranks. Some critics have already declared this aspect of my writing style to be overly manipulative, though I must protest; I feel it merely cooperates with the book and lends a larger intimate element that the reader may more readily identify with.
There are an honored few of us that have the pleasure of saying that our accounts of these two prominent historical figures' lives are completely accurate, and I dare say that I shall gain the empathy of those that have gone before me, and those that I have followed in the footsteps of. To address all of these problems would take an entire commentary, of which I am currently in the process of writing. The main controversies, that the reader need be mindful of are those of time and date correctness, as well as varying eye-witness accounts of often times the same events.
No modern-day scholar will ever be able to calculate the precise time that Virginia Weasely's inevitable change had occurred. There wasn't any tangible marker on the calendar as to when it had happened, of course, and the stars seem to be the sole possessors of that secret now. All that can really be stated with unquestionable, cold certainty was that one day the Weasely household had awoken to the usual chaos it had grown accostumed to throughout the years, yet Virginia Weasely had not.
While we know that it had originally been Molly and Arthur Weasely, Virginia's parents, that had made the decision to knock upon her bedroom door that fateful evening, we still are in doubt as to whether or not they had suspected anything prior to such circumstances had been amiss with their daughter. For it is common knowledge that significant changes such as these rarely, if ever, occur abruptly, and are next to always gradual, piecemeal things. Thus, the skeptics that blame the parents upon the child's seduction into the Dark find their dogma. But it is also common knowledge that Virginia was the youngest child after six older brothers, and an extreme introvert at that. Had she simply not been noticed as was prone to happen in such families, continuing on with many a mysterious, heavy burden weighing down upon her heart until it was too late? I must say, while I do not agree with every fundamental philosophy of the optimists, they do have a point when it comes to the oblivious nature of her parents. What rational-thinking beings would ever anticipate such a thing as what was to come, least of all within their own flesh-and blood daughter?
Another issue to present would be the ever famous, ever controversial first words spoken to Virginia Weasely after her momentous Change. In some texts, they read:
"Ginny, why weren't you down for supper? We're worried, are you feeling well, dear?"
Personally, I prefer the official phrase verified by the Ministry personnel, and that is what shall be used within this novel:
"Ginny? Love, you didn't come down for your meal, are you alright? Gin?"
I find that the Ministry's documents, after intense scrutiny, to be the most reliable, credible source to date, as did many respectable modern-day authorities such as Thrace Stevens, Chiron Hesperus, and Yasar Muhammad.
Now that such issues have been duly addressed, I shall leave you with this novel, and my hopes that you shall gain a better understandinnd pnd perhaps more humanly pity for this tragic figure of history. The Virginia of tradition is obsolete, and I mean to discard her despicable image as quickly and effectively as I can, and leave you with what was originally intended.
This is the life of Virginia Weasely; the girl, the witch, the conspirator, and the companion of Voldemort in all of her enigmatic glory.
-Nathaniel Elliot Potter, Earl of Gryffindor

(Real Author's Note:) I shall be updating this soon for the first chapter of the story. Feedback shall be much appreciated. Yes, there shall be a Tom/Ginny 'romance' (if you wish to call an incredibly twisted, emotionally agonizing thing that) and I intend to make damned sure that Ginny will be an intelligent, strong, albeit vulnerable character, though not the weakling too many fan fic authors end up making her out to be. Tom will be Tom...of course. Ruthless, cold, unabashed, deceptive, cruel, seductive, yummy, good ol' Tom...
