Chapter 8

My Name Is… Damn it

Ginny opened her eyes to find Draco leaning on his elbow watching her. "Good morning beautiful." Ginny started to sit up, but Draco just placed a hand on her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. "Are you sure you're ready for today? I'm sure we could get Dumbledore to allow you more time before going back." Ginny pulled away from Draco, and raised her eyes to him.

"I'm going to school today. Just because I still don't remember something doesn't mean that you get to keep me here all to yourself." Ginny grinned up towards Draco, pulling him down for a quick kiss before she bounced out of bed, and straight to the bathroom. Ginny jumped in the shower, dragging her fingers through her thick mane of hair. She tried to get the tension out of her back that came from being hunched over at the table all week. Draco had humbly volunteered to give her a back massage, but she reluctantly turned him down. She still wasn't sure how far she was willing to go with Draco, she knew she wanted him, but she wanted to know who she was first.

Ginny wrapped herself in a fluffy green towel, and cast a drying charm on her hair before exiting the bathroom. Draco sat fully dressed on the couch. "Hey beautiful, you better get dressed quick, we're going to eat in the Great Hall today." Ginny grinned, and flounced quickly into her room.

Ginny threw on her uniform skirt, but didn't tuck in her button up shirt. Her knee high socks were still a good 4 or 5 inches from the bottom of her skirt, and the Mary-Jane heels that Hermione had suggested for her big return. Ginny decided that since she was going to be seeing everyone as if it was the first time she was going to look as hot as humanly possible. Why not make the man who did this to her wish that she were his?

Ginny grabbed her temporary Slytherin robe, threw her bag over her shoulder, and pulled open her door. Draco's mouth dropped open as she strutted into the room, doing a little twirl before she reached him. "What do you think?"

"I think that you should be locked in my room until further notice." He stood, and snaked his arms around her waist, sneaking a light kiss on her neck before smiling down at her.

"What do you really think?" Ginny's hands slid around his neck as she smiled back up at him.

"I think that every guy is going to want to be me today." They stood together until Hermione came out of her room.

"Well, are we ready to face the wolves?" Hermione was smiling the same smile she'd worn since she and Snape had gotten together the night before, it was slightly naughty, but also extremely happy.

"Speak for yourself Granger, you're the one who has to sit with them." Draco's hold tightened on Ginny for a second before releasing her waist and taking her hand. "Lets go I'm starving." Draco and Ginny led as they walked towards the Great Hall, they knew that they would be arriving a little late, so most if not all of the student body would be there. "Are you ready?" Ginny squeezed Draco's hand then pushed the door to the Great Hall open, taking a deep breath as she entered.

All conversation halted as people stared at Ginny, but just as suddenly whispers started spreading throughout the hall quickly. Hermione looked over to see Ron standing with his mouth in a tight line, and his face redder than she had ever seen it. She took one last glance at Ginny, squeezed her arm then left to go deal with Ron.

Ginny watched as Hermione retreated, then turned up to smile at Draco. "Can we eat now? I'm starving." Draco let out a laugh then ushered her to the Slytherin table where everyone dropped their conversations and stared as the youngest Weasley made herself at home in the snakes lair.

"Um… Mate, why is the red head sittin' here?" Blaise whispered from his right. Draco hadn't thought to inform the Slytherins that they had a new member, but he knew that if anyone could get them to accept her it was Snape.

Draco glared at those in close proximity. "Ginny I'm going to go talk to Professor Snape, I'll be right back." Draco said loud enough for everyone to hear. Ginny just nodded at Draco, not knowing what the big deal was that she was sitting there.

When Hermione had sat she noticed that Ron and Harry where staring at her with varying expressions. Ron looked pissed beyond believe, while Harry looked extremely confused. "Hey guys, how did you sleep?"

"How did we sleep? How did we sleep? You've been hanging out with my sister, and didn't have the decency to say anything, to tell me that you were sleeping in the same room with her?! I can't believe you Hermione how could you do this to me! I thought we were a couple here? How could you possible go on about knowing that my sister is sleeping right there and not tell me?" Hermione was just about to tell Ron off when she noticed Draco up talking to Professor Snape.

Ginny watched as Draco made his way across the Great Hall towards Snape, and Ginny could see him lean over and whisper something in his ear. As soon as Draco stood straight Snape glared at Dumbledore like he was the spawn of the earth.

Snape stood, and walked towards Dumbledore with the evil sneer in place. He bent down close to the old mans ear, and whispered quickly. Dumbledore's face didn't even flinch, but he stood without a word and cast Sonorus silently. "Attention! Student's I have an announcement." All noise quickly faded in the Great Hall, and some students cast a quick look towards Ginny. "As you may have noticed Miss. Weasley is seated at the Slytherin table this morning." As Dumbledore paused everyone in the hall looked towards the Slytherins, and the Slytherins looked towards Ginny. "After the incident that I told you of we have temporarily placed her in Slytherin." Whispers built around the hall, and Draco could hear some worried voices and cries of outrage coming from the Gryffindor table, whilst the Slytherins just continued to stare at their newest member in confusion.

"Also, Miss. Weasley has presently passed placement exams, and will be attending all 7th year classes. Now everyone may resume their meals." As Dumbledore sat the heads in the Great Hall all turned to Ginny.

"Why in Merlin's name is MY little sister being forced to sit with those snakes?!" Hermione was pulling at Ron's arm, trying to get him to sit down before he did something stupid. "Ginevra Molly Weasley you get your arse over here and sit where you belong!" The heads of both staff and students snapped towards Ron. His face was bright red, and his hands were balled into fists. Draco however looked straight to Ginny, who was looking questioningly at Ron.

Ginny's didn't know how the insane man was, or what he was talking about, but she knew she was terrified of him. Her head started throbbing steadily until she couldn't stand it anymore, and a scream tore from her chest as she grabbed her head between her hands.

Draco saw Ginny's pained expression before her scream came, and he started sprinting towards her. About half way to the table he felt fingers curl around his arm. As he turned he realized that it was Ron gripping his arm as though he would break it in a moment. "Get off of me Weasel." Draco ground out through gritted teeth. Ron was shaking with fury, so much so that he hadn't seen Hermione raise her wand. "Petrificus Totalus!" Ron froze instantly, unable to move any part of his body, causing him to start to slip to the floor. Draco quickly wrenched his arm from Ron's grip, and continued towards Ginny.

Ginny was huddled on the floor gripping her head and screaming at the top of her lungs. The tears had started, and were leaving wet tracks down her face. Draco held onto her and rocked back and forth forgetting everyone else in the room. "Ginny, beautiful it's going to be all right, I promise it'll get better." He kept his arms locked around her no matter how loud she was screaming, or how many people gathered around the couple.

After a good 10 minutes Ginny's screams quieted as the pain started to fade away. Draco didn't let go of her though; he kept his hold on her as though he was afraid she would break. "Ginny, are you okay?" Ginny looked up to Draco and wrinkled her brow.

"HARRY BLOODY POTTER!!!" Ginny's fury was insane as she pulled out of Draco's grasp. "Where is he!?" It took only a few seconds for Harry to be pushed to the front of the crowd, and into the circle. The moment he entered she slapped him across the face as hard as she could.

"Ginny?" Harry was about to ask her what the hell was going on when her knee connected with his groin. He instantly crumbled to the floor as every guy in the room groaned in commiseration for Harry.

"Ginny, what do you remember?" Ginny never took her eyes off of the cowering boy-who-would-be-dead.

"This arse over here told everyone that I was a bloody great lay." The shocked silence echoed throughout the room. "I never even had sex with you! You couldn't get it up the one time we tried!" Ginny ended her statement with a swift kick to Harry's ribs before backing up. "FUCK YOU!"

Draco put an arm around Ginny's shoulders trying to hide his smile back as she outed Harry bloody Potter as a virgin. He pulled her out of the Great Hall, and headed straight for the potions class, it was their first class anyways, and Snape would want to know what happened anyway.

Ginny continued to swear under her breath as they entered the dungeons. "Gin, what do you remember?" At this Ginny abruptly stopped talk, and turned her head towards the desk.

"I just remember that, and how mad I was at him, but I never said anything because…" Ginny trailed off, not wanting to admit to Draco the reason.

"Because what Ginny? I promise no matter what you say I won't be angry."

"… because I was still in love with him." Ginny kept her voice low, and mumbled the last of the line. "I didn't want to hurt him… even though he hurt me."

Draco couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy that he felt towards Potter at that very moment. "It's okay Ginny, but I have to ask. Do you still love him?" Ginny looked up at Draco's sad mercury orbs, and smiled her coy smile.

"No, I don't think I do." Draco still had a shadow of doubt behind his eyes when it came to what Ginny was really thinking. "Draco, I promise, I'm over him. Here I'll prove it to you." With that Ginny stood from her stool, and fisted her hands in the front of Draco's robe. She didn't worry with taking her time, but simply went in for the kill. Her lips pressed passionately against his, slipping her tongue into his mouth, and showing him all that she felt for him.

When Hermione and Snape entered the potions room they were dumbstruck to find Draco and Ginny snogging heatedly at by Snape's desk. The mere sight of the desk brought back the images of the night prior to both Hermione and Snape. The both looked longingly at each other before Snape shook his head slightly then cleared his throat attempting to call attention to their presence in the room.

Ginny and Draco continued snogging, unaware that anyone was there, but when a moan escaped Draco's lips that was the end of their fun. Snape stepped up and grabbed Draco by the collar, wrenching him away from Ginny. "I would think that you would have the ability to control yourself at such a time." Snape commented while looking at the boy at present hanging from his hand.

"Sorry Professor Snape, but I just couldn't help myself." Ginny was grinning as Snape and Draco stared at her wide-eyed.

"You're telling me that you initiated this then?" Ginny's smile brightened as she nodded her head. "Really…" Snape raised his eyebrows, and replaced his usual frown with a playful smirk. "Now Miss. Weasley, why don't you tell me what happened at the Great Hall today?" Ginny's smile diminished a bit, and she looked towards Draco.

"I was just watching Draco, and I was looking around the hall, when I felt this pain suddenly throbbing in the back of my skull. It started dull, but started building and suddenly it felt like someone was stabbing something in my brain, that's when I started screaming, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I was seeing shadows, and suddenly I saw Harry, though I didn't know who he was at first, the name just came to me. I felt how much I used to love him, and how much he hurt me. It took a while for me to get it all thought out, apparently it's going to take some time… and pain." Ginny unconsciously rubbed the spot on her head where the throbbing had been. Snape and Hermione just stared at her for a second then looked at each other.

"Ginny, can you handle the pain?" Hermione had her serious studious voice on.

"If it means getting my memories back, getting me back, then yes. Though we're going to have to find someway to get me out of places before I break down, especially if it gets worse before it gets better." She smiled up at Draco. "Plus, how can I stop now? I can only remember Harry, I won't stop until I remember everything, including Draco." Ginny had the silliest grin on her face directed to Draco when the door flew open.

A very pissed off Ron entered the potions room, flanked by Seamus and Harry. When Ron saw Ginny he headed in her direction, ignoring everyone else. "Did I hear right little sis, can you not remember anything?" Ginny looked from Ron to Snape, who was lost for words. He knew that Dumbledore hadn't told the students about the memory problems, but he expected her brother to at least know. Then again it would be explained if his parents had expected him to help her get her memory back.

"Draco, who is that?" Ginny was talking only to Draco, but Ron heard what she said, and whom she said it to.

"What the bloody hell do you mean who is that! I'm your brother, your blood; I should be taking care of you, not some pompous jackass ferret!" Ron was fuming, though secretly he was laughing, reveling in the fact that she didn't remember what he had done to her. He couldn't help but think how much fun it would be to scare the shit out of Ginny then have his way with her again. "You better give me MY sister right now or else…" Ron left the threat open ended, but he didn't expect what came next.

Ginny's fist connected cleanly to his nose, knocking him backwards. "FUCK that hurt!" Ginny groaned as she cradled her broken knuckles in her other hand. "Hermione could you heal this for me?" She held out her bleeding hand, and after a few swishes from Hermione's wand it was completely healed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Ginny?" Seamus was standing over Ron like some sort of twisted protector.

"He insulted my boyfriend, so I hit him." Draco laughed lightly as the shocked expressions spread across the three boys faces; even Snape couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from turning up at the statement.

"Boyfriend huh?" It was Harry that spoke.

"Yes Harry, boyfriend, and he's a hell of a better person to me now then you ever were." Harry's mouth turned into a deep frown.

"I thought you couldn't remember anything."

"Snape and Hermione are working on it, so far you are the only thing I can remember. Oh, and just so you know, if any of you ever come near Draco or I again, I won't hesitate to engorgio something so important to you that you'll be in tears before the spell is even at half mast. All three boys went white as ghosts.

When Ron heard that she would be getting her memory back he was horrified, if she remembered then he would without a doubt be sent to Azkaban. He had to find some way to get to Ginny, get her away from Draco. He had to scare her so bad she would never tell, or hurt her so bad she couldn't tell. He already had a plan forming in his head as she walked to the desk in the front, dragging Draco along.

"What are we going to do about Ron Sev? Hermione had gone through a long day, and was curled up on Snape's couch with him trying to just think of what they were going to do. They had given Ginny the second dose of potion that night, and they had added a powerful sleeping drought so she wouldn't have to worry about dreams.

"I think we just need to keep him away from her for now. There isn't much else we can do." Hermione huffed, and snuggled back deeper into his chest. "I'm sure when she gets her memory back everything will be fine. Whatever idiot did this to her will be sent to Azkaban, and everything will go back to normal." Hermione turned her head a bit towards Snape.

"Who do you think did it?" Snape's face dropped down to look into her upside down eyes.

"I'm just not sure 'Mione, I'm just not sure." Snape ran his hand threw her hair, hoping to elevate some of her stress.

"I'm afraid it might have been someone close to her. I mean did you see Seamus's face when she said Draco was his boyfriend. I mean, she was dating him before this, she was thinking about making him her first. What if it went really wrong?" Hermione and Severus sat in each other's arms for another hour just staring blankly into the fire. They didn't need anything other than that.

Draco was woken suddenly in the middle of the night by a loud shrill scream coming from beside him. As he turned towards her to hold her he noticed that her hands were once again on her head, and tears were streaming down her face. He had to find a way to dull the scream eventually, otherwise he was going to go deaf by the time she remembered everything.

Ginny could literally feel the pathways of her brain being burnt through. It felt like someone was pouring acid on the blockades that she had built up against her memories. She tried to hold onto the burn longer in order to burn more blockades down, but soon a cool voice rang through her mind. It was Draco, grounding her, bringing her back to sanity.

Ginny slowed her screaming, then opened her eyes, slowly turning towards the body that belonged to the strong arms holding her in place. His molten silver had her locked in place, and in that moment she knew that she would face whatever she had to in order to stay with him. "I… I…" Ginny was fighting through the fog of sleep to tell him the things she remembered. "I remember…" With that sleep overtook Ginny, and left Draco with a million thoughts running through his head.
