Chapter 12: Love and Loss
Draco nodded in agreement
and gave Harry the comb. Harry took out
his wand and said, "Hexoramous." Instantly the comb began to glow bright green and a skull with a snake
protruding out of its mouth hovered over Harry's hand.
Harry's anger rapidly
began to build. Throwing the comb
violently against the wall, he yelled, "It's all my fault!".
Draco jumped
slightly. "Harry, this is not your
fault. It's Voldemort's." Walking across the room, Draco bent down to
pick up the comb. "We may need
this. Now come on. We have to get to her." Harry nodded in agreement and they ran down
the stairs.
When they reached the
grounds, Harry took out his map. He
could see exactly where Ginny was heading. He pointed at the Whomping Willow. "She's in there. She's heading
for the Shrieking Shack." They began to
walk very quickly towards the tree.
Draco kept shaking his
head. "Harry, why Ginny? What does he want with her?"
Harry stopped and looked
at Draco seriously. "Draco, I know I should have told you this before, but… he
wants your child." Draco stared at him
blankly. He began walking again without
saying a word. Harry ran up to him and
tried to keep up. "Draco, I'm sorry,
but I have to ask you something." Draco
stopped and turned to Harry. Harry
sighed heavily and said, "I hate having to ask you this, and I'm pretty sure I
know what the answer is."
"Come on, Harry. Just ask." Draco said impatiently.
Harry turned his gaze to
the floor. "Draco, this could all end
if you and Ginny decided not to have the baby. Voldemort wouldn't have his child and then he would return his focus on
me."
Draco stood clenching his
fists and grinding his teeth as he stared back at Harry. "We are having this baby, Harry. I've never felt this strongly about anything
in my life before. And not you,
Voldemort or anyone else is going to take this away from me!" Harry nodded his head as Draco turned and
started running towards the tree.
Harry began to run after
Draco to stop him from getting hit by a violent branch. "Wait!" Harry shouted. "Look out!"
Draco looked up at the
tree just as a branch was coming down to hit him. He ducked and backed up. "How are we supposed to get in there?" asked Draco with heavy breaths.
Harry picked up a stick
off the ground and pressed the secret knot. The tree calmed and the secret door in the trunk opened. Draco quickly ran inside the tunnel. Harry shook his head and went in after
him. He put his hand on Draco's
shoulder to get him to stop. "Draco,
wait."
Draco turned around and
looked at him with worried eyes. "Harry, we have to go. Now!"
Harry nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I know. But I don't think you
should come with me."
Draco's eyes grew
wide. "What?"
Harry shook his head. "Draco, you have no idea what to
expect." Harry said seriously. "I've
been through this…a lot. You …"
Draco cut him off. "Harry, I'm going." he said sternly. Harry just kept shaking his head. "Harry…please."
Harry looked at him and
could see how scared Draco really was, but also knew that he was not scared for
himself, but for Ginny. Harry finally
nodded in agreement. "All right. But, listen to everything I say. Don't try and be the hero. Trust me, it's not fun." Draco smiled slightly and nodded in
agreement. Harry stepped around him and
began to lead the way to the Shrieking Shack.
*~*
When Harry saw the
familiar tattered room before them, he turned to Draco. "Now, be very quiet. When you see Ginny, do not run to her. She is not the same Ginny we know." Draco nodded his head slowly as the colour
began to drain from his face. "Draco,
you can wait here if you want. It's
okay to be afraid." Harry said.
Draco shook his head. "No. I have to do this." Harry nodded
and walked into the room with his wand raised. The room was empty, except the same battered furniture he saw once
before. He thought back to that night
and sighed. He really wished Sirius
were here with him now. He honestly
didn't know what he was going to do or if any of them were going to make it out
of there alive.
Harry turned and saw a dim
light streaming out from under the door that led to the hallway. He turned to Draco and said, "Ready?" Draco nodded and raised his wand. Harry took a deep breath and opened the
door.
Harry began walking
towards the room at the end of the hall. Almost immediately, his head started to burn. He tried very hard to ignore the pain.
As he got closer he could
hear voices behind the door and leaned close to listen. He wanted to have some sense of what was
going on before he barged in there. Draco walked up beside him and also began to listen.
"Master…please." He
begged.
Voldemort raised his hand
to stop him from talking. "In due
time. Be patient, my friend. Soon you will have what you want."
Draco closed his eyes,
praying that what he wanted wasn't Ginny. He and Harry could hear someone moving around in the room. Then they heard Voldemort again. "Bring her to me."
"Yes, Master." someone
replied. Harry and Draco could hear
someone coming towards the door, so they quickly turned and ran into the room
on the right. Harry closed the door. He left it open just enough to be able to
see out into the hall.
They watched a man leave
the room and walk up the stairs. He was
a rather young man, with dark hair and deep bronze skin. Harry and Draco looked at each other and
both shrugged their shoulders. Neither
of them had ever seen him before.
A few moments later they
saw her. Ginny was walking down the
stairs with a blank expression. The
unknown man was walking down next to her. He kept glancing at Ginny with pure lust in his eyes.
Draco narrowed his eyes at
him and was about to walk out of the room when Harry pushed him down and put
his finger to his lips. Draco heeded,
but didn't take his eyes off the Death Eater. Harry shook his head and peered out the door once more.
The man went to open the
door, but it opened by itself. The man
turned to Ginny and smiled. "God,
you're amazing. I can't wait." Ginny didn't respond. She stepped into the room and the door
closed behind her.
Harry looked at Draco and
began talking in a whisper. "Okay, I
got a glimpse of the inside of the room. I saw Wormtail, and a large chair, where I'm assuming Voldemort is
sitting. There could be others, but
hopefully there's only the three of them."
Draco looked down at the
floor. "You mean four of them." He said meaning Ginny.
Harry sighed, "Yeah,
four."
*~*
Harry began to explain the
plan to Draco when suddenly he heard someone coming out of the other room. Harry quickly grabbed Draco and pulled him
against the wall behind the door. The
door creaked open but no one came in. Draco was tapping Harry in the arm to get him to look at the
ground. Harry looked down and
sighed. Nagini was looking at them
hungrily.
"Nagini, you know you
can't eat us." Harry hissed
arrogantly. Draco looked down at the
snake and could swear that it smiled. The snake hissed something back at Harry and slithered out of the
room.
Draco looked at Harry and
asked, "What did it say?"
Harry sighed and began
walking out of the room. "She said that
tonight she will be having a great feast."
Draco looked at him with
wide eyes. "Us?" he asked shakily.
Harry nodded his
head. Almost immediately he heard his
name being called.
"Potter, make your
presence known." Voldemort yelled. "And
bring your friend with you."
Harry closed his
eyes. He was hoping that Voldemort
wouldn't care about Draco. He sighed
loudly and began walking towards the room with Draco closely behind.
When Harry stepped into
the room, it felt like his head was on fire. He couldn't see straight. He
shook his head and tried to push the pain back. When he was finally able to focus he saw how big the room
actually was. There was tattered
furniture and broken tables spread about. Harry figured this room must have been an old parlor or something. Harry then looked to the corner of the room
and saw Ginny standing with her arms folded across her chest and an evil look
in her now bright emerald green eyes.
Draco was also taking in
his environment. When he saw Ginny, he
did exactly what Harry told him not to do. He began walking towards her very quickly. She chuckled slightly and Draco was instantly thrown against the
wall. Harry looked down at him and
could see he was okay. He shook his
head, "I told you." Draco stood up
rubbing his chest.
Voldemort began speaking
from the large chair in front of the fire. "So, Potter, trying to be the hero again?" When he didn't get a response he spun the chair around slowly and
when he saw Harry and Draco he smiled.
Draco's body immediately
stiffened. He never had seen Voldemort
before and never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he would look so evil.
Voldemort smiled at
Draco's reaction and stood from the chair. As he began walking towards him, he said, "Ah, Draco. It's very
nice to finally meet you."
Draco's heart was beating
so fast from fear that he thought it might jump right out of his chest. He looked at Harry for help. Harry didn't look at Draco because of the
immense pain he was in, but found the strength to speak. "You won't win, Voldemort." he said slowly.
Voldemort let out a little
chuckle and pointed his wand at him. "Stupefy!" Harry immediately
fell to the floor. Wormtail looked at
him questioningly. "I will deal with
him later." Wormtail nodded and began
walking towards Harry. Voldemort raised
his hand and said, "Leave him. Our newest
follower will take his life."
Voldemort placed his hand
on Draco's shoulder and continued. "I've heard a lot of good things about you, Draco Malfoy. Your father has kept me very informed of
your progress at school." Draco
wouldn't look at him. He couldn't. He chose to look at Ginny. She was still standing in the same
position.
The Death Eater that no
one knew walked up behind her and began rubbing her arms softly. Ginny closed her eyes and licked her lips
hungrily. Draco narrowed his eyes and Voldemort followed his stare. An evil smile spread across his face. "Don't worry, Draco, Adonis won't hurt
her."
Adonis smiled and began
caressing her neck. Ginny tilted her
head back against him. Adonis looked at
Draco and gave him a wink. He slowly
began kissing Ginny's neck as his hands began exploring her body. A moan escaped Ginny's lips. She whispered, "Draco, don't stop."
Draco's eyes grew
wide. "Ginny!" He shouted. "Ginny, that's not me!" Ginny opened her eyes and looked at Draco
questioningly. She let a smirk cross
her face and she turned around to face Adonis. He put his hand behind her head and kissed her passionately. "Get your bloody hands off her!" Draco shouted as he began to step
forward.
Voldemort put his hand out
and stopped him. "Adonis, you're making
the father upset."
Adonis broke the kiss and
Ginny immediately began kissing his neck. He smiled and said, "But she's loving every minute of it."
Draco narrowed his eyes
and swore. Voldemort laughed and called
to Ginny. "Ginny, come here my dear." Ginny quickly walked away from Adonis and walked towards him. Voldemort smiled and said quietly, "Ah,
Ginny. You are going to be by far one
of my most powerful servants."
Draco shook his head, "She
will never be one of you! Never!"
Voldemort looked up at
Draco with narrowed eyes. "Mr. Malfoy,
I was also going to add that you would also be a strong member, as you are the
biological father to my heir, but now I'm not so sure."
Draco glared at him. "Our child will never be yours." he said
through clenched teeth.
Voldemort laughed loudly,
"My dear boy. Don't you
understand? Ginny will be more than
willing to give me her child. Look at
what I have given her."
Just as Voldemort finished
his sentence, the door opened. Everyone
turned and looked at Lucius Malfoy.
Draco felt a bit of
relief. He was hoping that his father
was there to save them. Voldemort
nodded and said, "Ah, Lucius. Good,
we've been waiting for you."
Lucius stepped forward,
not being able to look at his son. Voldemort shook his head in disappointment. "I'm afraid your reward has to be withdrawn."
Lucius's eyes grew wide.
"Why Master?" he asked panic-stricken.
"Well, it seems your son
has decided to follow in someone else's footsteps. He has made it perfectly clear that he does not support us."
Voldemort said, slightly disappointed.
"A reward for what?" asked
Draco, but not really wanting to hear the answer.
Voldemort smirked and
said, "Why, who do you think cursed the gift, Draco?"
Lucius closed his eyes and
tilted his head back. Draco shook his
head. He couldn't believe it. Lucius turned and looked at his son. Draco narrowed his eyes at him. "How could
you do this?" he shouted.
Lucius was about to answer
him when Voldemort spoke, "Because he is a true servant."
Draco shook his head in
disbelief. He just couldn't believe his
father would curse his own son. Draco
looked up at Ginny, fighting the urge to grab her and run out of there as fast
as they could.
Ginny looked at Draco with
curiosity. She tilted her head to the
side and smiled slightly. She started
to walk towards him. She ran her
fingers gently down the side of his cheek. Draco's eyes were beginning to well up with tears. "Ginny," he whispered. "Come back to me." Ginny stared back at him. Draco looked into her eyes and saw them flicker slightly back to brown,
but immediately turned back to green. "Ginny!" Draco said. "Ginny, come on!"
Voldemort walked over to
them and pulled Ginny away from Draco. He looked at her eyes and he too saw that Ginny was starting to fight
back. Draco smirked, "I told you she
wouldn't be one of you."
Voldemort glared at Draco
and then turned back to Ginny. "Adonis,
please take this comb and leave the room." Adonis nodded and took the comb from Voldemort's hand. When he was just about to walk out of the
room, Voldemort said, "Oh, and please take the other one that is in Draco's
pocket."
Draco sighed and looked at
Adonis. Adonis smirked, "You can either give it to me or I can take it from
you." Draco glared at him and shoved
the comb into his hand. Adonis smiled
and whispered, "Your girlfriend tastes very good."
Draco immediately lunged
at Adonis and wrapped his hands around his throat. Voldemort turned and said,
"Stop!". He was standing there with his wand pointed at Ginny. Draco glared at
Voldemort, but quickly let go of Adonis.
"Adonis, go!" Voldemort called, and Adonis nodded and left
the room. Draco stared at Ginny as she
blinked her eyes and looked around the room.
She immediately became
very aware of her surroundings and became immensely frightened. She turned to Draco and ran to him. Draco
wrapped his arms protectively around her. Voldemort grabbed Ginny's arm and pulled her away. "Leave her alone!" Draco yelled.
Voldemort just looked at
him and turned to Ginny. "Do not be
frightened, Ginny. I will not hurt you,
I can promise you that. Please sit down." Ginny did as she was told out of pure
fear. Voldemort sat across from her and
said, "So, did you like the gift I gave you?" Ginny didn't respond. Voldemort
smiled slightly "Of course you did."
Ginny looked at Draco and
then his father. She gathered her
courage and asked shakily, "What do you want?"
"I want your child."
Voldemort hissed. "And in exchange I will
give you the power to perform magic beyond your wildest dreams."
Ginny put her hand over
her stomach as tears began to stream down her face. Draco began to step forward, but his father held him back.
"Ginny, I can give you
anything you want." Voldemort
continued. Ginny began to shake her head as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Never."
Voldemort leaned close to
her. "Ginny, I will have your baby
either way. You cannot fight me. So take the gift I have given you and enjoy
it."
Ginny looked over at Draco
and could see the fear building up in his eyes. She then turned her gaze to Lucius. He shook his head at her and said, "I'm sorry."
Ginny stared back at him
and knew what he was saying. She didn't
have a choice. She turned to Voldemort
and slowly nodded her head. Voldemort
smiled and stood up. He rolled up his
sleeve and pressed the Dark Mark on his arm. Almost immediately, Adonis entered the room. Voldemort held out his hand and Adonis placed the source in his
palm.
Voldemort looked at Ginny
and could see that she was changing. He
smiled and held out his hand for her to stand up. He stood very close to her and whispered in her ear so that only
she could hear. "You don't need him anymore. I can transfer the power to you completely." As a smirk spread across her face, she stepped towards
Draco.
He stared back at her with
tears streaming down his face. "Ginny,
I love you."
Ginny didn't seem to hear
him. She raised her hand and started to
say the words. "Avada Ked…"
Lucius threw his son to
the ground and pointed his wand at Ginny and shouted, "Crucio!"
She immediately fell to
the floor, screaming from the million knives that were now stabbing at her
body.
Draco crawled next to
her. He called out, "Make it
stop!"
Voldemort quickly stepped
forward and pointed his wand at her, "Finite Incantatem!" Ginny's screams halted, but she lay there
unconscious. He then turned to Lucius
with his wand pointing at his chest. "You fool!" he screamed. "How dare you defy me!"
Lucius took a few steps
back and threw down his watch to Draco. Draco looked up at him. "Take
it! It's a portkey!" Draco was about to protest that he wouldn't
leave his father there, when Lucius called "Go! Now!" as Voldemort was stepping closer to him, not caring about
Ginny or Draco. Draco grabbed Ginny's
hand and Harry's. He began to run his
fingers around the watch and the last thing he saw was Adonis and Wormtail quickly
walking towards them.
*~*
Draco felt the familiar
pull in his stomach and then there was ground. He opened his eyes and could see that they were just on the edge
of the Forbidden Forest. He turned to
Harry with his wand and released the spell. Harry sat up groggily trying to figure out where they were. Draco smiled slightly. "We made it." Harry let out a breath of relief but then
saw Ginny. He crawled over to her. "What did they do to her?" he asked urgently.
Draco wiped away the tears
on her face. "The Cruciatus curse." he
said softly.
Harry's eyes grew wide and
he stood up. "Draco, the baby - we have
to get her to the hospital wing right away!" Draco quickly slid his arms under her body and lifted her up. They began to walk as quickly as they could
to the castle.
When they reached the
hospital wing, Harry opened the door and ran to Madam Pomfrey's office.
Draco laid Ginny on the
nearest bed and slid his arms away. He
looked down at his hands and gasped. They were covered with blood. He
screamed for Harry. Madam Pomfrey ran
out of her office with Harry behind her. Harry quickly told her what happened and she ushered them out of the
room. Draco was resisting and she
finally said, "If you want me to help her you will wait outside." Draco took one last look at Ginny and left
the room.
Draco turned to Harry and
said with worried eyes, "Harry, what if …"
Harry shook his head. "She's going to be okay. I have to get Ron and Fred. I will be right back."
Draco nodded and began
pacing the hallway.
A few moments later he
looked up and saw Harry, Ron, Fred, and Hermione running towards him. Harry looked at Draco and said,
"Anything?' Draco shook his head and
leaned up against the wall and began to stare at the ceiling.
Harry began pacing the
hallway and looked up when he almost walked into someone. It was Professor Dumbledore. "Err, sorry Professor."
Dumbledore looked down at
Harry with kind eyes. "It's okay,
Harry." He then walked over to
Draco. He laid his hand on his
shoulders, "She's going to be all right." Draco smiled slightly and nodded his head slowly. Dumbledore then turned and walked into the
hospital wing.
The next visitors were
rather unexpected. Draco looked up and
saw two house elves carrying white sheets. They tried to hide their faces, as a good house elf is never seen, and
walked into the hospital wing. A few
moments later, they walked out with more sheets in their arms, but these sheets
were stained with blood.
Draco closed his eyes as
he felt the tears building up. He kept
thinking to himself, 'Please let her be okay, Please God.'
After what was minutes,
but seemed like hours, the hospital wing door opened again. Madam Pomfrey stepped out. Draco immediately stepped forward, waiting
for an answer. She held up her
hand. "Not yet." She then turned to Ron and Fred, "Could you
two come in here please? We may need
your help." Fred and Ron nodded and
quickly walked into the room and closed the door behind them.
Draco backed up against
the wall and began to lose it. He slid
down to the floor and hung his head as the tears began streaming down his
face. Hermione knelt down next to him
and patted his arm awkwardly. "She's
going to be okay, Draco. She's going to
okay." She was more saying this to
convince herself than anything.
Harry looked down at Draco
and couldn't help but feel responsible. This was his entire fault. He
leaned up against the opposite wall and covered his face with his hands. "I'm sorry." he said. Draco and Hermione looked up at him, as they
didn't understand what he said. Harry
removed his hands and said again, "I'm sorry. This is all my fault."
Draco stood up and said,
"Harry, this is not your fault."
Hermione nodded in agreement. Draco
walked over to Harry and said, "Harry, I've gotten to know you a lot over the last
couple of weeks and I know how much you care about her. I know you would never do anything to hurt
her. So, please stop blaming yourself."
Harry was about to protest
when Fred and Ron walked out of the hospital wing with tears streaming down
their faces. Draco walked up to them,
scared beyond belief of what they were going to say. Fred turned away and walked down the hall. Ron looked down at the floor. He then shook his head and decided he had to
look Draco in the face. When he lifted
his head, more tears began streaming down his face. He looked at Draco with sorrowful eyes, "I'm sorry, Draco." Draco took a deep breath. Ron continued. "She lost the baby."
Draco stepped back and he
began to get angry. "No!" he shouted. "We're wizards. We can do
anything!" Hermione put her arms around
him and he pushed her off. "No, it's
not true!"
Ron shook his head,
"Draco, there was nothing they could do. They even tried the muggle way. The curse was on her body for too long."
Draco just kept shaking
his head in disbelief. Harry walked up
to him and said quietly to Ron, "Can he see her?" Ron nodded his head. Harry turned to Draco and grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him,
"You have to be strong for her, Draco. Now, go in there and take care of her."
Draco looked up at Harry
and nodded his head slowly. He wiped
the tears off his face and walked into the room.
Ginny was lying there
unconscious. Draco looked up at
Professor Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey. They didn't say anything, but they were both saying sorry with their
eyes. Draco nodded slightly and they
walked out of the room.
More tears began to stream
down Draco's face as he looked at Ginny. He pulled back the covers and crawled into bed with her. He wrapped his arms around her and cried
softly until he finally fell asleep.
