Chapter 11-Die Another Day
Draco's POV
She sat there on my bed, her tears mixing with the blood on her face and hands. I was horrified; she had a huge gash from the corner of her lip to the top of her right ear. Her arms and hands had small but deep, cuts. Her non-cut cheek had nail marks and a hand print. Blood was soaking through her Weird Sisters t-shirt and it was ripped in places. Her girl boxers were on inside out and backwards which led me to believe he had raped her again.
"Oh Gin, oh no, this is horrible. I'm gonna kill him! He should be expelled. Come on you, we're going to Madame Pomfrey right away, I can't heal all those."
"No, I can't, she'll want to know what happened and he said…he said he'd h-hurt me and y-you if I told anyone. I shouldn't have come here, I'll just leave."
I didn't try to stop her; I knew she wouldn't be able to get out. I realized too late that she would be upset and think I didn't care about her. She approached to portrait and stopped when she saw the dragon was on the inside as well.
"Pureblood," she stated confidently. When the portrait didn't budge she tried again, "pureblood."
"It won't work Gin; it's my own little security system. What comes in can't come back out unless they know the other password. I'm not letting you out until I have your solemn word that you'll let me take you to the Hospital Wing. We can just say someone attacked you while you were sleeping. It'll be okay, I promise. I won't tell her the truth."
"Alright, I'll come but promise me one thing."
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me…promise me…" and just like that she passed out.
Ginny's POV
He was looking at me like I was a ghost. I knew I probably looked bad. I could feel the gash on my cheek oozing blood. The cuts on my arms and hands felt like they were on fire and there were cuts in places he couldn't see, but I'm sure he knew about them. My shirt was ripped and soaking from all of my blood.
"Oh Gin, oh no, this is horrible. I'm gonna kill him! He should be expelled. Come on you, we're going to Madame Pomfrey right away, I can't heal all those."
He sure could change tracks fast.
"No, I can't, she'll want to know what happened and he said…he said he'd h-hurt me and y-you if I told anyone. I shouldn't have come here, I'll just leave."
I knew he was going to overreact which is why I almost didn't come here. I walked toward the portrait and he didn't try to stop me which hurt almost as much as my hands. I thought he cared about me but obviously I was wrong. When I reached the entrance I stopped. The dragon was on the inside too. Curious that was.
"Pureblood," I proclaimed, confident that it would work. When it didn't I tried again, clearing my throat I repeated, "Pureblood."
"It won't work Gin; it's my own little security system. What comes in can't come back out unless they know the other password. I'm not letting you out until I have your solemn word that you'll let me take you to the Hospital Wing. We can just say someone attacked you while you were sleeping. It'll be okay, I promise. I won't tell her the truth."
So that was why he didn't try to stop me. That made me feel better, he did care he just knew he didn't have to stop me.
How could I say no to that face? It was a face you would rarely see on the face of a Malfoy, much less a face directed from a Malfoy to a Weasley. It was the face he made that showed me he really did care.
"Alright, I'll come but promise me one thing."
I felt really light headed; I assumed it was from the face that Draco was making.
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me…promise me…" and my world went black.
