When they think they dont need answers
Chapter 4
Ginny didn'tknow what to do when she went back, she knew she would see him around, but would she talk to him or not?.
Being the youngest of her family she decided to use that to her advantage, she would resort to acting like a child and ignore him. So when she entered her dorm she expected to see him sat there waiting for him but instead she was alone, she got angry at this as she was looking forward to tormenting him, but as he wasn't there she decided to head down to lunch to see Luna. As she walked alone down the corridors she saw a tall figure walking towards her. Perfect, I can try and frustrate him like he frustrated me she thought. They where getting closer and closer, they where within touching distance, but as Draco went to speak Ginny just stared right through him and carried on walking not acknowlaging his presence at all. She smiled to herself knowing it had worked.
As she entered the Great Hall she saw Luna and went other and sat by her.
'Hey Gin, how are you I have'nt seen you in ages so you need to tell me what youve been up to. I guess being head girl, your very busy'...so Ginny filled her in on Malfoy and what he had done, but she missed out the bit about murdering someone as she knew Luna would make her go to Dumbledore.
'Pervert' Luna commented when Ginny had finished speaking.
'Hmmmm' was all Ginny could say, as she began to think about Malfoy...
'Gin, Ginny...' Luna whispered sharply whilst waving a hand in front of her face to see if she was actually listening.
'Wha, oh sorry Luna, what where you saying' she asked as she was sharply pulled out of her intimate daydream of her and him walking down the beach together.
'It doesnt matter, Listen I'm going to go to the Libary, you stay and eat something, I haven't see you eat in ages'. It was true,Ginny hadnt been able to eat hardly anything. Ever since she had learnt of what Malfoy was plotting she had lost her appetite.
She decided to just sit around and wait until it was time for their next lesson. Great she thought sarcastically, I have double potions..at least Luna will be there.
However when Ginny arrived at her lesson, she couldnt see Luna anywhere...Maybe shes not feeling well...The lesson seemed to go even slower than it normally did and when the lesson finally ended. Ginny was starving and decided that whilst she was hungry, she would go and get something to eat first. But even when she had finished her dinner (It was her favourite Spaghetti Bolgnese) Luna was no where to be seen.
O Crap, what the hell has happened to her?? Ginny thought to herself. Then it Dawned on her. She picked up her bag and ran as fast as she could to Ravenclaw tower.. please please be there Lulu She thought desperatley. However when she got there Luna was'nt anywhere around...I'm so sorry Ginny thought to herself I shoud have known please forgive me Lulu.
The only other pace she could think of was the Libary. She sprinted down the corridor as fast as she could..
'Ginerva Weasley!' she flinched at the sound of her name.' What on earth are you doing running around like a mad woman...?'
'Im sorry Snape...Proffessor' She knew she had made a mistake and saw his eyes flash, but in her opinion she didnt care less as long as she found Luna.
'Detention, Miss Weasley' he sneered and with that he flounced off.
As soon as he was out of sight she began to run again but was soon put to a holt once again. But not by a teacher.By a sound. She stood still and listened again to confirm that she was still sane. Yes someone was sobbing. she followed the sound and came to a small passage way. As she turned a corner she saw Luna crouched on the floor crying. Sobbing.
'Luna,...what the hell as happened to you?' Ginny asked almost shouting.
Luna looked up startled and wiped her eyes.
'Was it Malfoy?' Ginny continued. Luna looked up at her with a look that confirmed her question.
'What did he do, did he hit you...did he...did he.. hurt you?'
'Nnno Nnno he didnt...really' Luna replied But before she could finish her sentence Ginny had stood up and started to walk towards the main corridor.
'Ginny come back' Luna yelled. But she got no response.
Ginny was furious. Her face was as red as her hair and you could see the steam coming out of her ears. She hated Malfoy for what he had done to Luna. As she turned the last corner and came to the door to their shared dorm she flunge the door open and saw Malfoy sat lounging on the sofa reading a book. When he saw her he grinned, but suddenly changed his expression when he saw hers.
'What the hell did you do to her Malfoy?' She screamed.
'What?' he asked not appearing to have any idea what she was on about.
'You know bloody well what...You hurt Luna. Your an animal. I hate you, You bastard.' she drew her wand and sent torture spells at him. He writhed on the floor clearly in pain. She nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the dorm to go and find Luna again.
When she got back to Luna, she had calmed down and was able to speak clearly.
'What did you do?' Luna asked anxiously.
'Just gave him what he deserved.' Replied Ginny.
'No!, you've got it wrong.' Luna shouted almost in tears. 'I tryed to call you back. You wouldnt listen' She started sobbing again.
'Lulu what are you on about?' Ginny asked whilst picturing Malfoy in so much pain, dying slowly.
'It wasnt Malfoy...He didnt hurt me. He saved me!' Luna answered.
'But...B...but'
'No Blaise cornered me he said he overheard me calling Malfoy stuff and he attacked me...It was horrible...But then Malfoy came around the corner...I was really scared I thought he would join in torturing me but he didnt. He cursed Blaise and sent him away!.
Ginny looked at her horrified. She knew she had to go and apologise to Malfoy but decided to leave him. At the moment her friend was more important.
It was hours later when Ginny arrived back at her dorm. She closed the door and leaned against it knowing she had a tone of homework to do before she went to bed. But before she could recall what homework she needed to do, she saw a pool of blood on the floor and a pale blonde haired boy next to it. She dived forward, the panic rising inside her. She turned him round so that he was lying on her knees.
His face was cut and bruised and he had several deep cutts in his stomach.
But I didnt do this she thought, I didnt do this. then she looked up. The window was open and a piece of parchment was lying next to it she ran over to it. but didnt read it she just stuffed it in her pocket and tryed to drag Malfoy down to the hospital wing.
When they finally got down there, they where met by Madam Pomfrey.
'What on earth happened?' she asked.
'I dont know...'Ginny sobbed' He was fine...Its all my fault' Ginny whispered. She then looked up startled 'He's going to be ok...isnt he?'
'I dont know.'
It seemed like hours later when she was allowed to see him. She didnt know why she cared, but was afraid she was falling in love. She didnt care though as long as he was ok. As she sat down next to his bed she held his hand. It was so cold. She started to cry again.
'I'm so sorry, Ma...Draco, I'm so sorry, please be ok, You need to be ok. I need you to.
