A Fortnight

Summary: Draco's been attacked, and Ginny is getting to the bottom of it. But the attacker doesn't leave a trace of evidence. How is she supposed to find out who the assaulter is? And will they strike again? It's also a kind of horror fic.

Disclaimer: I hate these. I mean it's just to see how many different ways you can word the sentence "I don't own these characters otherwise I wouldn't be writing on this site."

Prologue: The Assault

Twenty-three year old Draco Malfoy was sleeping peacefully in his spacious room at 6:30 AM. Sunrise was late this time of year, and Draco was sleeping in today, unlike his wife, who was at work at this ungodly hour. They had just got married half a year ago, and were living happily together in Malfoy Manor.

Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy's calm slumber didn't last much longer. He awoke to a rather loud creak. "Damn house-elves," he muttered. He turned and looked at the muggle clock on his nightstand. It read 6:32 AM. Kowing he would not be able to go back to sleep, Draco began to sit up; that was when he thought, no knew, he saw something move. "Who's there?" he asked calmly.

A figure came out of the shadows holding a gun. On instinct, Draco turned on his nightstand lamp and reached for his wand. The person, dressed all in black and with a mask on, raised his gun and let out a cruel laugh as Draco stumbled.

Draco was scared. And Draco was hardly ever scared. What did this guy want from him? "Listen, who are you? And what do you want?"

"I can't tell you who I am, Draco, but I can tell you what I want. I want to see you dead."

"Okay," Draco said, backing up against a wall. "But why?"

"Shut up, Draco Malfoy."

"Can't we handle this like civilized people?"

"I said shut up," and the shot from the gun to the ceiling by the person shut up Draco.

"I hate you for so many reasons, Draco Malfoy, and the only solution is to kill you."

Unknown to the person, Draco found a pair of scissors lying on his desk. Grabbing them he charged at the attacker, and tried to cut his face. However, the mask was so thick he only succeeded in cutting it and caused no harm to the attacker.

"Arghhh," exclaimed the masked man as Draco punched him in the stomach. He punched back at Draco's jaw. Draco's hand flew to the attacker's mask. Before he could do anything, the attacker pushed the gun's trigger. A gun shot pierced the silent dawn. Draco was still standing and he pulled off the attacker's mask just as he was turning around.

Out of fear, the attacker quickly apparated, leaving Draco stumbling from pain and reaching for his cell phone. After he dialed the desired number, he breathed into the phone, "G-G-Ginny, I've b-been attacked."

A.N. I know it was short, but this is just the prologue. So do u guys think I shud continue w/ it or trash it? And who do u guys want the attacker to be? I "conveniently" forgot to mention where Draco was hit by the bullet. That'll be revealed in the next chappie (unless I trash this story). Please leave a review!

Also, if any of u know HOW TO MAKE TEXT BOLD OR ITALIC please tell me bcuz I cant seem to make that work! Thank u!
