Pretty soon, Ginny pulled away from Malfoy and smiled. He turned his concerned gaze on her once more and watched as she shook her head and murmured, "I'd better go and please some of those photographers, then, huh?"
He grinned and let go of her hand. He stepped away from her and allowed her to walk away toward the snack table. As Ginny poured herself some water, she blinked against the white flashes that erupted from around the room. She glanced up, smiling at the camera lenses that had surrounded her and took a swig of her drink. Finally, wiping her mouth on the back of her hand, she put the cup down and broke through the circle of photographers to walk toward the seats in the back of the restaurant. Lavender and Parvati, who were both sitting at one table, girlishly called her over and she approached them.
They were sitting in a shadowed part of the restaurant, and Ginny was thankful, because people wouldn't see her and would finally leave her alone. She chatted with the girls a bit as they sipped some whiskey, and then continued on her way about the party, talking to as many people as she could.
While she was looking around, a tall man walked up to her – one she'd never met before – and asked her for a dance. The band had just begun playing a slow song, and Ginny accepted.
They walked onto the floor together and she took his hand, putting one arm on his shoulder. They began moving to the music, and before Ginny knew it, he'd danced them over to a very secluded area of the floor. She looked around sharply and felt his breath near her ear. She froze.
"If you don't do as I say, I swear I will kill you. Walk to the bathroom and put on a happy face, lass. You wouldn't want to disappoint all these photographers, would you?"
Ginny looked up at him, eyes wide, and nodded uneasily. Then, she allowed him to grip her wrist as they walked to the bathrooms together. They ran into a few of her friends, to whom she smiled each time, and finally got to the restrooms. The man shut the door, locked it with a few spells, and silenced it with his wand. Then, he turned to her and grinned a malicious grin as he approached her.
Ginny trembled with fear when he tucked his wand into his back pocket and put two hands around her face. She stared into his blue eyes and shut her own tightly, wishing Draco were there. When she opened her eyes, his eerie grin had widened and he began lowering his hands down her body. His fingers stopped at the bottom of her dress and he running his hands under it.
Ginny squealed and attempted to squirm out of his reach, but he was faster. He had her pinned against the wall within seconds, a vicious look on his face. Ginny shut her eyes as his hand came down across her face and a loud smack echoed throughout the stalls. Her head was thrown to the side and she nearly felt herself lose consciousness, her cheek stinging like a burn. She hissed when she turned back to face him, and angry glow in her eyes.
This seemed to have pleased him, because he grinned again, his thick cheeks widening. He pulled her dress down and let it bunch up around her ankles. Her breathing quickened as she tried to escape his eager hands, scrunching her face up helplessly, still trying to fight him with her hands against his chest. In a way, she was worried about fighting him, because she knew if he got angry, he'd only be crueler, but she didn't want to go down without a fight, either.
He pushed her hands away, muttering under his breath, and suddenly, her hands were glued away from her against the wall. She struggled against the spell for a moment before grimacing and dropping her head. Her captor was already running his hands over her naked skin, sucking at the skin on her neck, and Ginny was struggling with all she had.
He pulled back and hit her again, and she actually felt like the skin on her cheek had burst from the impact. She was proved correct when she felt blood trickle by her mouth, salty and sour to her lips. The large man began pulling her modest underwear down as he hissed, "Keep trying to escape, girl, you won't be able to. Aren't you just enjoying this?"
Ginny's face took on a disgusted look as her heart began pounding in her ears and her underwear bunched up by her ankles on top of the dress. Ginny couldn't hold it in as a weep escaped her mouth. The man in front of her chuckled at her struggling and went on to begin undressing himself.
However, within moments, a loud crash resounded throughout the restroom and he turned, looking at the door. Draco and Vanessa were standing on top of it, after having taken it off its hinges. Ginny nearly melted with relief as Vanessa sent an Expelliarmus at him, stupefied him, and he froze, arms still on Ginny, and fell back onto the tile floor. Malfoy rushed toward a naked Ginny, whose tears were coursing down her face, as Vanessa put the door back up and locked it so no one from the party would be able to get in.
Malfoy muttered the spell to release her and embraced her, covering her with his arms, pressing her close to him. Ginny brought her own arms around his waist and sobbed into his shoulder. She shivered, feeling cold and naked - which she was – and Malfoy tightened his arms around her thin body.
Vanessa approached them and muttered a few spells, and within moments, Ginny's clothes were back on her. Vanessa pulled her away from Malfoy's arms and asked, "Did he rape you?"
Ginny shook her head, feeling her cheek sting as she cracked open the busted skin on her cheek again. Vanessa ran over to the sink and grabbed a tissue, wetting it, as Malfoy took Ginny's face into his hands and kissed her briefly, before Vanessa jerked him away, giving him a look, and wiping the blood off of Ginny's face. Draco quickly disguised the bruises with a charm and removed the ruined make-up.
Ginny allowed one last, loud sob before burying her face in her hands. Within seconds, she felt a pair of strong, warm hands envelop her. Ginny allowed herself to calm under his protection and pulled away, watching the frozen body on the floor.
Malfoy's gaze caught hers and he asked, "What did he do to you?"
Ginny sniffled, "Nothing extreme. He hit me twice, that's why my cheek was – and he took all of my clothes off. But he didn't rape me, thank Merlin. I don't know how I'd feel if he had. You came at the … perfect time."
Malfoy smoothed her bangs out of her eyes gently and nodded. Ginny's eyes, once again, slid over to the lifeless body beside them on the floor and pursed her lips.
Malfoy saw her line of thinking and kicked the body for good measure. Then, he picked him up and they exited the bathroom. However, they didn't expect to see the sight that awaited them there.
A dozen photographers were gathered at the bathroom door, flashing away as soon as the door opened. Malfoy, still carrying the limp body, stepped in front of Ginny, guarding her from the cameras. Ginny put an arm on his waist, wanting to make sure he wouldn't stray far from her. Quickly, they escaped to the kitchens, thanks to Vanessa's planning, and Ron, Harry, Hermione, and her parents were already there, waiting. They rushed at her in a wild stampede, mainly her mum, and asked questions.
Ginny lightly brushed them off with curt answers and backed up against Malfoy. He didn't make any move to hug her, but he didn't push her off either, unsure of what her motives were. Ginny looked down and wrapped an arm tightly around his waist.
When she looked up, she saw that something in Ron's eyes had changed when he saw her do it, something acceptant, and she smiled at him. Arthur and Molly were currently shooting spells at the body Malfoy had thrown onto the floor.
Meanwhile, Ginny turned fully around and wrapped her other arm around Malfoy, digging her face into his shoulder, and he understood her mood, leading them a little ways from her family and turning his back on them. He cuddled her as well, a small smile on his face.
&&&&&&&
Later, when Aurors had arrived on the scene and taken the man with them, Ginny and Draco emerged from the kitchens and returned to the party, along with her friends and family. Arthur stayed behind, making sure with the Aurors that the rapist would be taken good care of, and Draco smiled as he heard him directing the men.
Vanessa was waiting outside, and together, she, Harry, Ron, and Draco guarded Ginny from the attendees and paparazzi as they walked through the party toward some guarded tables in the back (apparently, Vanessa had already ordered some bodyguards to come inside the restaurant.)
Ginny sat down with her family and put her head on her arms, sighing. She felt Malfoy's arm moving absently on her back and smiled – she couldn't help it – Malfoy had literally saved her. She was more thankful to him than she could voice, but at the same time, she couldn't help but think that Malfoy was visibly closer to her now.
Hermione's kind voice ripped through the silence at the table, "Ginny, will you be able to go out there and continue with the party? If not, you should just leave and have your double stay here."
Ginny lifted her head, "No, I can't ask my double to fill in at my birthday party! I guess I'll have to keep partying, but oh, Merlin, the reporters must be having a field day! They saw me and Draco exiting the bathroom with somebody's body. Who knows what they'll think up for their articles?"
Harry shook his head, "Don't worry. Nobody else saw you, and nobody will believe what the reporters write. It's too odd to seem real."
Ginny grinned, wincing as her bruises were stressed on and lay her head back down, groaning. Malfoy tugged at her arms, murmuring, "Come on, we'll ask for a slow dance and we'll slow dance for the cameras. You can just lean your head on me and not look at them. Ginny? Come on, you can do it."
Ginny groaned and stood, allowing him to lead her to the DJ. While he requested a good slow song, Ginny leaned her forehead on his shoulder. Then, he took them to the center of the floor and took her hand, putting his other on her lower back. Ginny melted into him and put her right cheek against his left shoulder, gazing out over the stars and guest fans in the room.
Her own arm had snaked around his waist under his jacket and was slowly rubbing small circles on his back. He smiled against her hair and closed his eyes. The music led them through the dance quietly and a few paparazzi had approached, taking some not-so-secretive photos of them.
Rolling her eyes, Ginny turned her head so she was facing Malfoy's shoulder. A few more flashes came and then it was quiet. Ginny lifted her head and a blinding flash suddenly came from right in front of her. The photographer cackled in a disturbing way and disappeared. Ginny's jaw dropped and she looked at Malfoy, who was grinning. "He got you, there."
Ginny smirked, "But it was unfair, you have to admit." With that, she placed her chin on his shoulder, watching out over the couples dancing around them. Ron was sitting in a distant corner with Hermione, looking at her, and their eyes met. Ginny raised her eyebrows and watched him. Finally, he nodded and smiled at her. Ginny grinned and put her cheek back on Malfoy's shoulder.
She felt his lips move by her ear and she shivered. "Do you want to go home?"
Ginny raised her head and spoke into his ear, "Yes."
When the song ended, he took her hand and they exited through the back door and climbed into their limo. Inside, Ginny greeted her old driver and closed the connecting window. Then, she spread out on the seat and closed her eyes.
Before she knew it, Malfoy was waking her – with his lips. His mouth moved gently over hers and Ginny never wanted the moment to end. Her mind was still fuzzy with sleep, but she extended a hand and put it on the back of his head and deepened the kiss. Her tongue probed his lips and he gave in, letting her run her tongue over his teeth and lips.
He grunted and pulled a little away, but his lips were still suspended above hers, "Let's do this inside."
She nodded, her hand still on his neck, and stood, following him out of the car slowly. As the limo drove away, Malfoy looked around and apparated them into the flat and put up a dozen of wards.
Ginny sighed and connected their lips again and wound her arms tightly around his neck. His wand clattered to the floor, lying forgotten.
