Chapter Ten

Come for her

Draco watched Ginny sleep.

He brushed back her hair from her forehead and kissed it. "I'll keep you safe."

SHe stirred slightely and a small smile touched her lips.

He left her sleeping in his room. A bell rang somewhere. He made his way down to the front door. He froze in the hall as his eyes adjusted and he made out the figure standing there.

Seven Roulette stood in his hall way.

"Get out." He hissed.

"Oh, Draco, is that anyway to talk to your old friend?"

"We were never friends, Seven."

"We shared a bed."

"I was ten and your mother was crazy. Some how I've managed to forgive her that slight. I might have told her that if you didn't have her hospitalized."

Seven smiled. "See what great memories we share. Now, maybe you can live to share some more."

"Go to hell, Seven." He leveled his wand at her.

Seven gave him a pout. "Draco, you're so mean."

"Fuck off."

"Not with out Miss Ginny."

"I won't let you."

Seven looked at him. "Oh? Is the young master Malfoy forbidding me? Now why would he do that?"

Draco looked away from her peircing eyes.

Seven laughed. "Well, well, what a coincidence! You're in love with her, aren't you? How fitting."

Draco clenched his jaw. "Leave her alone."

"I can't do that. GInny has an obligation. But I promise to make her death as quick and painless as I can."

Draco charged at Seven.

Seven stepsided and knocked him from his feet.

Draco's head hit hard and as consciousness ebbed, Seven whispered to him.

"I know you think this is bad. But let me fix that. Ginny will go to her death thinking you betrayed her."

Blackness swirled in.

(A/N: Better but still not that great. I was supposed to update You May Be Right today, but Nikki's chapter comes first (ish) so go read hers.
