"Malfoy, what did you do to my sister?!" Ron Weasley yelled and the whole Burrow shook. He was sending death glares at Draco. If he'd been able to, Ron would've punched Draco, but he couldn't.
"Your sister did this to her self. She was lucky I was there to save her sorry butt." Malfoy said looking down at the girl who was currently sleeping because of a potion. He knew what she was going through. Depression. Drugs. Alcohol. Substance abuse. He'd been there. He recovered with the help of a younger girl who knew what he'd been going through.
"What the hell happened to her you bloody git?!" Ron yelled. No body else bothered to tell him to stop yelling. The whole family was up and looking at Draco. They wanted an answer. An answer Draco didn't want to give. It would kill them to know the truth. The truth always hurts.
"You've probably noticed that Ginny has been acting strange. Well, she's depressed. Worse then normal. She's doing what I did until I got help. She's on drugs. Tonight she'd been smoking pot, weed, and God knows what else. She was hanging with some other druggies when there was a drive-by shooting. The took Ginny and threw her into the car."
"Oh my god." Ron whispered in a voice that was not his. He looked like he was going to faint.
"It gets worse. They took her to a empty storehouse and tied her to a chair. She was very high and started cussing the guys out. The pulled out a gun and put it to her head. They asked her all kinds of questions. Some she didn't know the answer to. They hit her over the head with a gun and left her lying in an alley. That's when I walked by and saw her body. She's alive, but barely."
"How do you know all this?" Ron demanded starring at his little sister. Tears were running down his face. Ron looked like a ghost. Draco was having trouble telling them the truth. It was so hard for them. They had no idea that Ginny had been doing this.
"She told me all this as I made her a potion so she could get some sleep. She had to tell someone who'd done the same thing. She trusts me, but she doesn't trust you. She may never trust you." Draco said and kneeled by Ginny as she opened her eyes.
"Draco, where am I? What happened?" She asked, not looking at her surroundings. She didn't notice her whole family was standing around her. All she knew was that Draco was standing by her.
Draco didn't answer her. He just sat there looking at her. Ginny tried to get her eyes to focus on something else but everything was a blur. Her head was pounding and the world was spinning. Ginny moaned some as she tried to make sense of that night's events. It wasn't the first time this had happened. Last time someone got shot. But Ginny's mind couldn't register anything.
"Slash said that if I took all the drugs I'd sleep forever. She called it eternal sleep. So we both took all the drugs we could get our hands on. Slash got shot though. I pushed her out of the way but the bullet hit her arm. I tried to stay with her but they wouldn't let me. I did see them shoot her over and over again. As the car sped off I saw the ground soaked with blood. She didn't deserve to die. She had a mother that she had to take care off. They probably killed her mother already. Slash was just trying to get some money. She didn't deserve to die!" Ginny said and started to sob. Her body shook violently. The Weasley's watched with horror as Draco pulled a gun out of her pocket.
"Did you kill anyone Gin? Did you shoot the gun?" Draco asked in a toneless voice. Ginny bit her lip and took a couple of deep breaths before answering.
"I shot the guy that shot Slash. I aimed for the chest. I don't know if he died or not. The guys who were with him just left him there and drove off. I don't know about anyone else though." Ginny said and Draco nodded.
"Ginny, tell me where Slash was killed and where she lives. Her mother might be alive. She might be too."
"She lives on 14 6th Avenue. She was shot at 17th Street." Ginny said and Draco nodded.
Keep her under a body bind until I get back. Don't answer the door for anyone. I'll be back as soon as I can." And with that he walked out of the house. Leaving the Weasley's to deal with a very high Ginny.
