"Stranger than you sympathy
And all this thoughts you stole from me..."
Nine years ago...
Fourteen-years-old Ginny was doing some homework in the library, when she over heard Draco Malfoy by the end of the table.
"...And Professor Marchbanks said I was very good at Charms so, I think that's another Outstanding for me...she also said with my potion skills I could become a great Healer, what do you think about that?! Me?! A healer?!" Draco made a face like "not-gonna-happen" and he, Pansy and his bullies started to laugh.
"Well, I got to get some sleep, I don't want bags under my eyes...good night" Pansy stood up and left.
Crabbe and Goyle stared at Draco.
:"Don't look at me like that! You may leave, if you want to!" Draco spatted.
Crabbe and Goyle didn't need to hear more and also left the library so that now Draco was all alone.
"Heh! Healer...that's what mum would like for me to become...a healer..."
Ginny looked at Draco from the corner of her eyes and opened them wide when she saw the most strange, yet gorgeous thing ever...Draco Malfoy was smiling...actually smiling...
Ginny almost fainted right there by how beautiful he looked. It was like it wasn't him...
From that day on, Ginny saw Draco in a different way...a very different "non-Weasley" way...
Her dream of Draco suddenly changed into that one terrible day...the one that right now at the same time, was hunting her guest's dreams...
Four years ago...
"Come on! We got to move fast! There isn't much time!" nineteen-years-old Ginny ran as fast as she could toward the ruins where hundreds of wizard and witches manors once stood.
"Merlin's beard! This is a disaster! It's like the end of the world!" nineteen-years-old Loretta said in shocked.
"Search for survivors!" Ginny yelled at her team as they quickly moved forward and looked for any person who still breathed.
"Healer Weasley! There's one over here!"
Ginny ran toward the healer and looked down at a man in his thirties, Ginny checked his pulse.
"He's still alive! Accio potions handbag! Quickly! Give him this..." Ginny gave the healer a small vial containing an orange fluid.
"The lot of you! Keep looking for suvivors!" Ginny stood up and ran as fast as she could, looking for survivors until she got to the top of the hill where once stood a great manor. Now, the only thing standing was the gate and the twenty feet tall stones holding the sides of it. In the center of the gate on a huge crest, was carved the letter "M".
Ginny walked toward the ruins and looked around; nothing was there, she could only see mountains of burned bricks and woods. She kept walking, when suddenly she heard the sound of a cracking crystal; she looked down and realized, that she had stepped on something. A thirty by forty frame , but she couldn't see what was in it; she held it up and cleaned it with the palm of her hand.
She opened wide her eyes and gasped as she saw the faces of Lucius, Narcissa and Draco Malfoy staring back at her.
"This is...my God! This was the Malfoy Manor!" a sudden fear emerged from the pit of her stomach.
What if 'he' was dead?! What if she finds him and it's too late?!
Out of nowhere just like that, she started to desperatly run around the ruins looking everywhere...until...she saw something...
"Oh no..." Ginny whispered as she ran toward it.
"Please, don't be him..."
Finally, Ginny stopped and looked closely...she gasped...
"Oh my goodness...this can't be happening..."
In front of her, laid not Draco...but someone very close to him...Narcissa Malfoy...his mother...
Ginny took her burned wrist and checked for a pulse...
Nothing...
Ginny stood there, paralized...trying to swallow everything that was happening.
"He doesn't forgive...he doesn't forgive anyone...there's no love inside of him...he's pure evil...he isn't close of been the devil...he is the devil..." Ginny sobbed as she stared at how peacefully Narcissa's face looked.
"She knew...she knew this would happen...she let herself die...she just...let herself die...to protect him..."
Suddenly, Ginny heard a loud "crack"; she turned around trembling, knowing who it was.
There he stood, a twenty-years-old Draco Malfoy holding a present. His eyes never blinking, always looking down...down at the lifeless body of his mother...
"M-mum..." Draco whispered as his eyes watered.
He dropped the present and knelt in front of her dead body.
"Mother!" he held her close to him. "No...this is not true...it's not true!" Draco whispered as he looked at his mother and caressed her cheek...her now cold cheek...
"Mother...please...stay with me! Mother! Please...don't leave me! No! Please! Don't! No...no...motheeer!!!" Draco yelled as tears came out of his eyes...
...In Ginny's bedroom, Draco sobbed as he screamed in his sleep.
"No! Mother! No!"
Ginny quickly opened the door and ran by his side.
"Draco...wake up...Draco..." Ginny shaked him.
"No! Please don't leave me alone! No...motheeer!!!" Draco sat on the bed as he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Draco...' Ginny sat on the bed.
"It was her birthday! It was her bloody birthday!" Draco yelled as tears fell down his cheeks.
"Draco...I..."
"She knew! I know she knew! Her eyes told me something was wrong! But she chose to lie to me! She said to me to buy her a nice gift! Why didn't I sensed it?! Why I didn't, when she hugged me and told me she was proud of me?! Why did she have to do that?! Why?!"
"Because she loved you, Draco! Because she loved you so much! She sacrificed herself so that you could live!" Ginny yelled, tears now falling from her eyes also.
"Then why she had to love me so much?! Why couldn't she just let me die with her?! Instead of leaving me here lost in this world?!" Draco sobbed.
Ginny got closer to him, her heart hurting.
"Draco...please...don't...don't cry...I don't like to see you cry..." Ginny cracked.
"I feel alone...I feel so alone without her..."
"Oh Draco...you're not alone..." and just like that, Ginny hugged him.
She embraced him so tight, like she never wanted to let go of him.
"You'll never be alone...as long as I live...you'll never be...shhh, don't cry..." Ginny whispered to him as he slowly stopped sobbing and hold on to her for dear life, like a helpless child.
"Shhh...there, there...everything's going to be allright...everything will be fine...I'm here with you..."
Slowly, Draco was completly calmed but still he didn't want to let go; afraid that Ginny would leave him...
"It's okay...I won't leave you..." Ginny smiled and whispered in his ear as she kissed his forehead.
Draco suddenly loosen up the firm grip and sat straight on the bed.
She stared at him and saw a tear on his cheek, making it's way down and closer to his mouth. Without thinking, she wiped away the tear with her thumb and let it passed all the way to the other corner of his mouth.
Draco looked at her more deeply as he just realized that she hadn't notice what she just did. Her thumb have felt so soft and soothing against his lips...
Without thinking and without taking his eyes off her, he slowly leaned closer to her face.
His hands alone found their way to rest on her neck.
Ginny only closed her eyes and stayed still until she felt his soft and warm lips against hers.
Gently kissing her...
