Chapter 1:
Ginny ran as far away from the school as possible. Her legs reached an amazing speed. She stopped at Hagrid's almost burnt down hut to catch her breath. Her chest heaved in exhuastion, but she had to be on the run again soon. She pressed herself against the side of the building, her wand at the ready.
She stared for a moment at Hogwarts, traumatically taking in the sight. Most of the building was on fire. Dead bodies lay all over the grounds. Students and teachers faught determindly, trying to defeat the enemies. Ginny felt almost guilty for fleeing, but she had had no other choice.
She had been in the Gryffindor Common Room when the alert bell had rung. She had stepped out of the portrait to be met with three Death Eaters. All of them holding their wands pointed at her. Many students had followed her out of the Common Room and had helped her disarm the Death Eaters.
After that she had fled. She didn't know where Harry was. She didn't know where Ron or Hermione was. They might be dead.
Ginny let out a hysterical cry, but stopped herself, remembering her surroundings. She stepped around the building to the door and peeped inside.
To her horror, Hagrid lay stone dead on the ground. His face was burned so badly that you he didn't have skin left. His right hand was missing and his wand lay broken on the ground.
Ginny began to cry hysterically. She vomited on the floor at the sight of Hagrid's disfigured form and sobbed. She heard the sound of heavy running footsteps outside. She fell fearfully silent. The sound came closer and closer. The terrified girl ran to a broken down part of the hut and hid behind the sofa. She let out one last silent sob before she heard people enter the hut. She held her breath...
"How could you dissapoint the Dark Lord like that? He will be angry. You will be lucky if he keeps you alive!" a voice hissed angrily.
Ginny then heard a soft, terrified voice replying, "I'm s-s-sorry. I c-c-couldn't. The t-t-task was too b-b-big. P-p-please protect me, Severus. I don't want t-t-to die." she heard faint sobs.
So it was Snape! she thought angrily. She knew that he had always been a traitor. She recognised the other voice, but couldn't quite place it.
"Draco, you know as well as I do that as soon as we reach Malfoy Manor that I won't be able to protect you." said Snape.
"Then don't take me there. P-p-please, Severus, t-take me to the cave. You know where it is. We could hide there until Potter finishes the Dark Lord off." replied Malfoy pleadingly.
"Don't say such things, boy! Potter will never be able to defeat the Dark Lord this time. His plan is too good. And now with Dumbledore dead, he won't last a minute." sneered Snape. "But I suppose I can hide you and and tell the Dark Lord you are dead."
Ginny's heart skipped a beat. Dumbledore dead? Impossible! She couldn't keep silent any longer. She let out a scream of sorrow. She began crying so hard that she couldn't breath. Snape and Draco rushed to the sofa.
"Weasley!" Snape yelled outraged. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at her hysterical form.
"No!" said Draco and pushed Snape's wand away.
Snape looked disbelievingly at Draco. "What are you doing?" hissed Snape angrily.
"W-w-we c-c-could use her for information!" said Draco fearfully.
"You are too weak, Draco!" Snape sighed.
Ginny continued to cry, not caring about what was going to happen to her.
"Stop crying, girl.'' said Snape annoyed.
Ginny heaved a breath and went silent.
Draco just looked at Snape.
"Alright, you bring her. We're going to the cave." said Snape and stalked out of the hut.
Draco's eyes widened and he looked at the girl on the floor.
"Weasley?" he said softly.
Ginny looked up at him with pure hatred. It bored into Draco like a leech.
"Weasley, we have to go!" said Draco hurriedly.
Ginny spat at him.
"That's it!" yelled Draco and grabbed her by the arm.
"Ow, damn it." shouted Ginny angrily.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, which do you choose?!" stated Draco desperately.
Ginny pointed her wand at him. "I'm not going with you!" she said coldly.
Draco pulled the wand out her hand much to her surprise. He yanked her arm and pulled her out the door.
"Let me go, you son of a bitch!" yelled Ginny.
"Watch your tongue, Weasley." said Draco still dragging her along, his hand tightening around her wrist.
Snape looked at them with a solemn face. "Let's go. You Apperate her there, Draco." he said and dissapeared with a pop.
Draco put a strong arm around the girl's waist. Although Ginny hated the boy more than Voldemort, this gesture was rather comforting for a girl in her state. She turned around to face him and put her arms around his waist and leaned into his chest exhaustedly.
Draco raised his eyebrows slightly, but held her tightly anyway. He Apperated quickly and they arrived in a cold, dark, old cave. The blonde looked down at the girl in his arms to see her reaction, but found that she was asleep in his arms. He was astonished that anyone could fall asleep durning an Apperation. He just stood there not wanting to wake her up.
