Ginny refused to speak to Draco for five days. She rarely left her bedroom and when she did it would only be to use the water closet or to grab something to eat. Kip had started to bring Ginny her meals, but Draco ordered her not to do that anymore in the hope that Ginny would be forced to speak to him.
August 11th had proved to be as infuriating at the days prior. Ginny was refusing to acknowledge Draco's presence even when he was steps away from her. He tried making conversation, but Ginny's eyes did not meet his. "For Merlin's sake Ginny, what is it going to take for you to talk to me again? It's not like I haven't proven my love for you or anything." The words had come out much nastier than he had intended.
Ginny continued ignoring him.
Draco could now feel the anger bubbling inside of him. "You're taking this too critically you know. Acting as if you have every right to get angry with me. There are plenty of things that your brothers have done that I have kept my mouth shut about. Ron is by far the worst of your brothers. I understand the nature of being protective, but he takes it to an extreme level where it's almost like you're not allowed to be human. He's controlling really."
Ginny turned her back to Draco, which fired him up more. "And I'm glad that Potter is gone. He tortured me at Hogwarts. Tried to kill me in our sixth year. Using spells from a book that had scribblings on it-"
"He saved your life!" Ginny shouted, turning around. "Twice!"
Draco would rather hear Ginny yell at him than to have her ignoring him. "Once in the room of requirement and then another time when he was under his invisibility cloak. You are indebted to him Malfoy, so don't you dare say that you're glad he's gone. Without him, you would be dead."
"I owe nothing to Potter." Draco said, now standing up to make himself seem bigger. "I didn't sell him out to Bellatrix and my mum said that he was dead, so I owe him NOTHING." His fist came down hard on the table and made the utensils jump.
"Your parents placed him into hiding so that you could make a move on me!" Ginny shouted, now standing up to meet Draco's eyes. "They are the reason that he disappeared. You owe it to him to fix this."
"I didn't ask for them to make Potter disappear! He's been gone for over a year, it's not like he has family left-"
"He has a godson that needs him." Ginny snapped, "Your aunt Andromeda is taking care of him now, but what will happen when she dies? He will be without a family, unless Uncle Draco is going to swoop in and take care of the child that he's never known. Harry has been gone for over a year and only Godric knows what's happened to him. Harry also has plenty of friends that love him and can't bear to think about the possibility that he might be dead."
"So that's what this silence has been all about? Saint Potter." Draco spat, "Didn't seem too concerned about him when we're snogging."
"You shut your mouth," Ginny retorted, reaching for her wand in her pocket. Suddenly, a light went off in Ginny's head. "Hang on, your parents the reason why Harry broke up with me?" Her hand now gripped tightly onto her wand. "The day after we broke up he disappeared. Your parents probably blackmailed him into breaking up with me in public and then he went quietly with them to keep…" Her voice broke as the words refused to come out of her mouth.
"To keep you safe?" Draco hissed, raising his wand toward Ginny "It's not like there is another possible explanation that Potter couldn't stand you anymore. Maybe you drove him mad and that's why he's gone and disappeared. Ever think of that?" It was evident on Ginny's face that she had thought about it. She lowered her wand and turned to go up the steps, slamming the door behind her.
Draco looked at Kip, who had been standing near the oven during their entire conversation. Her ears were lowered and her head bowed. "Master, I worry that you may lose her, sir."
"Why is that?" Draco snarled.
Taking one step to the right, Kip unveiled what she had been working on all morning. It was a small cake with uneven portions of icing and strawberries. In one horrific moment, Draco realized what today was. Ginny's birthday. Upon this realization, Draco heard a loud CRACK from upstairs. When he got upstairs, his fears had been realized, Ginny and all of her belongings were gone.

Ginny landed with a thud just outside the fence to the Weasley yard. Upon hearing this noise, she saw the porch lamp spring with light as several red-haired heads peeked through the window. Quickly, Ginny attempted to get up, but was knocked down by a strong force. She heard her mother screaming her name, but could not get off the ground because every time she tried she was moved back forcefully into the ground.
"Silly girl," a man's low voice hissed, "The more that you try to get up, the more the charm works against you."
"Get away from my daughter!" Molly's voice was now nearer and Ginny could see an extended wand raised at the hooded figure.
"Sorry Molly," they said, knocking Mrs. Weasley's wand from her hand with the flick of their wand. "I can't do that. We have serious business that we need to attend to."
Ginny could now hear several other footsteps, but all wands were flicked from their hands. The hooded man took Ginny and her trunk in hand and disapparated, leaving only Arnold the pygmy puff behind.
George stared from his parents to his younger brother at his side, "that wasn't-"
"Yes." Ron said, teeth gritted. He could feel his face getting hot with rage, "that was Harry."
