Since I don't know when I will be back on, I decided to post another chapter. Hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Ginny narrowed her eyes. Narcissa had undressed her carefully, and whispered that her jewelry, wand, and Harry's mirror were in her personal bedroom. When Ginny asked what was happening, Narcissa simply blinked tears away and pressed a palm to her cheek.
"Stay strong, Ginny Weasley," Narcissa said. "I will do everything I can to get you out, but I mustn't be caught doing so or I'm no use to you. I have faith that your fiancé will find a way back to you."
"What are they going to do to me?" Ginny asked calmly.
"I will give you something to prevent you feeling pain for this first bout of treatment," Narcissa promised. She dripped something from a small vial into Ginny's mouth. It was tasteless. "You won't feel a thing, but they mustn't know that. I will try to end this as soon as possible."
"Thank you," Ginny grabbed the woman's hand as she put the vial away. "Thank you."
Narcissa nodded and tied Ginny's hair into braid before leaving.
"Don't touch me!" Ginny said when two men entered the room. She strained against her bonds, but she began to feel whatever Narcissa had given her take effect. Her limbs felt heavy and she was almost numbed to the ropes around her wrist and ankles.
"Shut up, girl," a wolfish-like man snapped. "I'll do what I want. Now, when I ask you a question about the Order of Phoenix, you answer."
She felt herself being jostled, before she saw a whip out of the corner of her eye and a pressure across her back. Gritting her teeth, Ginny thanked Narcissa Malfoy for taking away her pain and waited until she could be free.
"I know I didn't seem it earlier, but I can't thank you enough for what you did."
"I may be an arsehole, Potter, but I'm not evil or anything. I wasn't going to let you two die, or the Dark Lord rise again."
The voices were familiar, but Ginny thought the pairing was strange. There was some kind of warmth in the tones, but part of Ginny felt like they needed to be civil at best.

"I mean it, honestly. We got engaged last night."
"Congratulations. You aren't too young?"
"I won't exactly have trouble supporting her, and I know for a fact that I won't be marrying anyone else. Why wait?"
"You don't want to have fun?"
"We'll have plenty of fun, but I want to have fun with her."
"You've always been soft."
"Don't look down on me. Do you think I don't notice you following Sarai? Or that she doesn't notice?"
"…"
"…"
"I don't know what it is about her."
"She's strong, intelligent, observant, witty, and very kind-hearted."
"She reminds me of my mother."
"That'll do it."
"She'll never have me."
"Just give it time."
"Where's Mrs. Weasley?"
"Talking to the doctors. I didn't want to hear it."
"I understand. My mother is with her."
"Mrs. Weasley needs female support, and she's abundantly thankful for your mother's help. Also, you should expect an invite to every Weasley gathering for the rest of your life."
"Spectacular."
"Sarai will be at most of them."
"I really will hex you, Potter."
"We aren't bad people."
"You saying you're a Weasley?"
"They're my family."
"I don't have people like that."
"Maybe if your dad—nevermind, that's out of line. I'm sorry, I'm tired. It's no excuse, but I am."
"You're alright. I understand. I've always known my father wasn't a good man. He's treated me horribly all of my life, despite his claims to love me and his obvious love for Mother. He loves power more, though, and I don't want to see what price he pays for that."
"At least this gives you a chance to start over. You're of age now, you'll be caring for your mother, and if your dad gets what he deserves, you'll inherit responsibility for all of your money and estate."
"I can't believe we're having this conversation."
"You saved my life. You saved Ginny's life. You made sure that Voldemort stayed where he belonged. Because of that, you've changed everything."
"And...Sarai?"
"You made her life hell, mate. It's going to take some time for her to fully believe you're a good person."
"I suppose."
"Just be patient. It'll work out."
"You too. She'll wake up, you know. That Weasley is a strong fighter."
"You're right. She will."
)-(
"Harry, you should go home."
"I'm not leaving her."
"You need to shower."
"I'll be fine."
"Ginny will think you smell gross."
"I want to be here when she wakes up."
"There are showers here, just go take a quick one."
"No, Sarai, he needs to go home, sleep in his bed, eat a real meal, and then come back."
"What if something happens, Hermione?"
"She's probably just tired and her body knows she needs time to heal."
"Hermione, Sarai is right..."
"I'll stay here, Harry. I'll read to her, comb her hair, all that. If she does wake up, I'll send Ron or Sarai to go get you."
"Yeah, we'll take good care of her. Hermione and I are her best friends, she'll be fine with us here."
"I can't..."
"Harry. Go."
"Ron? What are you doing in here, I thought you went home."
"I'm not leaving without you, mate. Let's go."
"Fine."
)-(
"Oh! Mrs. Malfoy, I didn't mean to intrude."
"It's perfectly alright, darling. I was only reading—
"A Midsummer Night's Dream, right. It's like, Ginny's second favorite play. Did Hermione tell you?"
"Yes. I see you have Cyrano in your hands."
"The French version, yes. It's Ginny's third favorite. May I ask why you're here? I know you helped save her life and all, but..."
"I want to ensure she's safe. This happened to her because of my husband and I won't be satisfied until she is awake and well."
"Ahh, I see."
"Sarai, is it? Draco has spoken of you. You seem like a very lovely girl."
"Err. Thank you."
"Well! I've just finished Act One, so I'll leave you to it and go home for a little. Please, do alert Draco and me if there is any change. I hope she awakens before the New Year."
"We do too. Best wishes."
"Best wishes, my dear."
)-(
"My darling girl. I am so very sorry all this has happened because of me."
"You weren't alone in your decision, Molly. Sirius and I signed that agreement."
"Arthur is right, Molly. Anyways, something tells me they would have found each other without our help. They're so very in love."
"I don't blame Harry, of course, I just don't think she would be here if they weren't forced together at this particular time."
"It would've been Ron, or perhaps you, Neville or Luna, Sirius, or any number of us. Things like this can't be helped, my love."
"I know. I only wish she hadn't gone through it all."
"Narcissa said she didn't feel most of it, and Malfoy got them out in time."
"Narcissa has been a darling to me. I can't believe what she did for Ginny."
"People do unexpected things."
"My cousin was always different from Bella. More like Andromeda than she cared to believe. I don't know how Malfoy got her."
"Strange things happen to people in love."
"This is true."
)-(
"Sirius! I didn't mean to intrude."
"It's perfectly alright, Sarai. Are you well?"
"Yes sir."
"..."
"Sirius?"
"Hmm?"
"Have we met before this year?"
"I don't believe so."
"Oh. It may seem strange, but I've been having dreams, sort of like memories, and in them are people who look much like you and Harry. It's strange, but I suppose my imagination is making it up."
"People we love in our lives often fill strange gaps in memories. The mind is tricky that way."
"So it would seem. Thanks anyways. I'm just dropping off Cyrano for someone to keep reading, but I've got to go home. Let me know if anything changes."
"Of course."
)-(
"Ginny? Please wake up, love."
"..."
"I love you. Take your time. Heal."
"..."
"I love you."
