Chapter 7
"What do you two want?" Ginny asked as she faced Ron and Harry.
Harry looked into her eyes as though searching for the answer to an unasked question, "Ron and I were wondering why you wanted a resorting and why you accepted it after the hat replaced you to Slytherin?" He asked almost too kindly, very unusual for him.
"Yes sister of mine why did you want a house change? Gryffindor too lowly for you now, we not good enough for you anymore?" Ron asked scathingly, with a look of now utter hatred in his eyes.
Ginny looked at her brother the one she used to identify most with the one who used to treat her like she was a priceless porcelain doll. "As a matter of fact Ronald Weasley I left Gryffindor because I felt like I no longer belong there and I needed to get away from you because ever since I decided to change you've acted as though I were the spawn of Satan himself. Well I have news for you, I'm not a child and I have a right to do what I wish and to go where I wish to go. I accepted being put in Slytherin because I wasn't about to deny myself the freedom I've wanted since I came here living in your shadow living in Fred, George, you, Percy, Bill, And Charlie's shadows. I wanted to be different go where the sorting hat wanted me to be in the first place and apparently where I really belong!" She stalked off to her and Draco's room without another word to the boys feeling confident that she had just put them in their place.
When she got back to the room she saw Draco waiting for her on the couch he looked up and smiled at her patting the seat next to him before going back to the book he was looking at and marking the page. "I'm sorry I had to leave you with your brother and golden boy but I know you don't want them to know about us yet," Draco said bringing her towards him for a hug.
Ginny kissed him, "Draco don't apologize you were right to do what you did and I thank you for helping me with the situation!"
Draco smiled and held her close for a minute. Ginny sighed content that they could be together again. They walked over to the bed and Ginny left Draco to take a shower before bed. After she got out he went and took one too by the time he was finished Ginny had already fallen asleep and as he stood looking at her he thought about how sweet innocent and utterly ravishing she looked when she was asleep. He walked over to the bed leaned down and kissed her forehead moving a stray strand of hair that was in her face. He climbed under the covers and turned over wrapping his arms around her waist. She scooted back into him and sighed in her sleep. Draco stared at her for a moment before falling into a deep sleep. He dreamt about her and she had a nightmare involving him.
Ginny ran through the forest she knew she'd find him there she'd felt him and the pain he was in she kept running towards the cries for help. "Silence fool no one can hear or save you now." She heard the awful voice say and knew that she must be close. Don't hurt him please don't kill him. Don't let him be dead I love him I need him with me. Oh Merlin please don't let him be dead! Ginny thought to herself as the tears started running down her cheeks she knew she had little time she saw flashes of red light and heard the awful screams. When she got to the clearing a horrible sight came upon her eyes. He was lying there face covered in blood crying out for help voice barely louder than a whisper now. She knew he'd been tortured and the culprit was standing right there in front of her. Voldemort was standing there arm outstretched holding his wand aloft while Lucius laughingly watched his son get mutilated. Narcissa stood at the far end of the clearing strapped to a tree crying and screaming for her son. "Lucius why, why are you doing this to him he's your son. Why are you letting this happen why wont you stop? What has my son done to deserve this?" she sobbed uncontrollably and Ginny felt for her as the next spell was cast she leaped out from behind the tree only to realize she was too late she saw him lying there perfectly still after he'd given out one last scream, Voldemort and Lucius had disappeared leaving the dead lifeless form of Draco and Narcissa's tied sobbing body. Ginny walked over to Narcissa and untied her. They clung to each other both unable to stop the tears, and Ginny screamed Draco's name into the night.
"Ginny wake up, Ginny, Ginny," she felt herself being shaken awake and saw Draco leaning over her worry in his eyes.
"What happened?" she asked unsure of why her face was wet, and then she remembered the dream.
"You were screaming and thrashing about, were you having a bad dream?" Draco said still quite concerned for her as he held her close to him.
"Yes I was I'm sorry to have worried you." Ginny said trying to avoid the topic.
"What was it about?" Draco asked kissing her forehead while rocking her.
Ginny looked at him unsure of what to say, she knew what she'd dreamt would worry him so…….
