inspired by Evanescence's song My Last Breath. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter One: Return To Hogwarts
Ginny and Draco landed with a soft "thump" in Professor Dumbledore's office.
"Hello Ms. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy. Did you have an enjoyable summer vacation?" Dumbledore asked.
Ginny and Draco looked at each other, awestruck.
"How did you know that we were together, Professor? Did They contact you, like They did our families," Draco asked.
"Yes, my boy, They did. I will admit that I had to go and talk to your father, but everything smoothed over just fine, just fine." Professor Dumbledore said all of this with his infamous twinkle in his eyes. "Now, if you two will just sit down in the chairs across from my desk, I think that we should talk about what is to come this school year."
Draco and Ginny sat down next to each other, looking perplexed.
"As I understand it, you two have not been informed of this. While you were in lock-down," his eyes twinkled even more at this phrase, "there was a special bond created between the two of you. This was not intentional and They had absolutely nothing to do with it. The bond can never be broken, even if one of you passes away. Also, considering the very close proximity in which you living over the summer, you will have to be moved to separate bedrooms right next to each other and your classes will have to be modified."
"Professor, what exactly are the consequences if these conditions are not meant?" Ginny whispered as Draco held onto her hand. "It's not that I don't want to be completely away from Draco all of the time, if we are away from each other for too long, what do you think might happen?"
"Well, at first you will just get sick. The symptoms will be similar to those of a cold. If you are away from each other for too long, the sickness will only get worse, until you wither away, and even then, the bond will not be broken."
Once again, Ginny and Draco looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"Are you two ready to go have a look at your new rooms? I believe that the trunks are already in their respective places."
~In their new rooms~
Ginny looked around her new room near the Charms wing. It had pretty much the same look and style as the one back at the house that she had lived at over the summer, except for the colors, which were silver and lavender. She also had a fireplace with a chair and leg rest in front of if to read in.
Draco was looking around his new room as well; which, like Ginny's, was very similar to the one in the house they had lived in. The colors were different as well; they were a soothing dark blue and silver. He had a fireplace with a chair in front of it to read or relax in.
He heard knocking at the door. "Come in."
"Hey sweetie. Wow, are rooms look almost identical, just different colors."
"Really? Do you want to maybe explore, I imagine that one of these doors leads to a shared common room," Draco suggested.
"Sure."
They took each other's hands and walked to the first door. That one was Draco's bathroom. The next door was his very nice walk in closet. Ginny and Draco put their hand's on the third door handle at the simultaneously and opened the door to the common room together. The common room looked like it would be very cozy. There was a fire blazing in the fireplace. In a semicircle across the fireplace were four ivory comfortable looking armchairs. The walls were painted cobalt blue with cream trimming. There were two tables that held four of cherry wood, along with two bookcases for their own miniature library.
"Wow. I love it," Ginny said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, it is pretty nice. Did you want to go down and get something to eat? I'm starving since we didn't have breakfast, with packing and all."
"Sure, should we go to the kitchens or the Great Hall?" Asked Ginny.
"I suppose we should try the Great Hall first, if nobody or nothing is in there, then we should try the kitchens."
Draco and Ginny walked out of the common room that they knew was the door to get out into the hall. As they were walking hand in hand, they encountered many of the ghostly residents that froze in their tracks as soon as they saw a Malfoy and a Weasley walking hand in hand down the hallway. Draco and Ginny took it all in ease. They both knew that this reaction, compared to those of their peers, wasn't all too bad. In fact, Ginny was kind of scared for the term to start because she did not want to be around when Ron found out about her relationship to Draco. Forget about telling him, or the other two-thirds of the dream team about the bond. She'd have to deal with telling them the simple fact that her room was right next to Draco's.
Similar thoughts were going on inside Draco's mind. He wondered how the whole of Slytherin house was going to take this new relationship. He supposed that he would have to write to his mother and get the bracelet that let's any Slytherin know that that woman was his and was to be accepted by all.
While all of this was going through their minds, they hardly realized that they had reached the front doors of the Great Hall.
Draco detached his hand from Ginny's and opened up the door for her.
"Thanks, sweetie." Ginny said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking in.
In mid-stride she stopped, almost causing Draco to bump into her, and stared. Draco looked to see what had caused the hold up.
Neither of them could believe their eyes.
