"You return to me now."
"She's gone. She's left me because of this."
"So now you return."
"Don't you understand? I've lost everything. I thought that she loved me; I thought that she would forgive me for anything that I did. But she couldn't."
"And what has that got to do with me."
"Leave her alone. She's left the wizarding world to get away from me. Her family all think she is dead. Let them continue to think that. Don't hunt her down. Leave her to a quiet life in the muggle world away from all the fighting."
"Why should I?"
Draco looked up at the vile creature that was responsible for the sadness in his life. His eyes were still red and puffy from all the crying. But he didn't look away he kept his eye contact.
"Because I'll be your spy again. They'll never suspect me now. I've told Moody that I was a Death Eater and proved I'd swapped sides with Lestrange's arrest. And now with Ginny gone they'll think that I'll hunt you and the Death Eaters more to avenge her murder."
"And how do I know you won't turn on me again?"
"Because I have nothing to turn for."
The Dark Lord smiled his wicked grin over the form of the broken man.
I know these two chapters are short (especially this one) and that they could have been put together. But I wanted to show how desperate he was feeling in one chapter with the Weasleys distress and then his return to Voldemort separately. Because this chapter is KEY, this chapter sets everything up for the second part of the story. His life without Ginny.
