CHAPTER 34: OLD FRIENDS

"Draco? I haven't seen Ginny for a while. Did something happen?" Narcissa asked her son.

He sighed. "All these years I wanted to become different from him but I am just the same."

"What are you talking about?"

"Months ago I made a bet with Blaise that I could make Ginny fall in love with me."

"You what?!"

He again sighed. "I know. It was wrong… really wrong. A month ago I told Blaise to call off the bet. I didn't know Ginny was there and she heard it all. She left and I never saw her again. She completely turned off her phone and disappeared with Luna."

"I am disappointed in you Draco. I have always thought that I taught you better than that. You are right, you are just like father but at least he had the decency to do everything that he can and not just sit here and do nothing." Narcissa sipped her tea.

"Mother, it is not that easy."

"I never said it was easy Draconius." He cringed at the mention of his Latin name which only happened if his mother is angry at him. "Nothing is easy in this world."

"I know I made a mistake but I am left with no ideas as to how I can remedy this all. I don't care if she is pregnant with William's children… I just want to be with her." He clenched his fist as tears threatened to fall from his eyes.

"You absolutely don't care who the father is?"

Draco shook his head. "I don't care. I just want to be with Ginny and if she will still have me, I would want to be with her children too."

Narcissa sighed. "You are stupid. You are really stupid son. But I will help you. I want to see my grandchildren safe too."

"Your-" Draco looked at his mother.

"You are a smart boy. I'm sure it won't be hard." She hid a smile.

Draco still had a bewildered expression on his face when Blaise barged in.

"Heads up mate. Weasley Clan are here for your head." Blaise stride beside Narcissa and not a second later, the whole Weasley clan appeared. Draco stood up to greet them.

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY SISTER?!" Ron marched up to Draco and punched him in the face.

"Ronald!" Molly exclaimed. "Hold your brother George. I am sorry Cissy but Ginny has been gone for a month now. The last time we heard from her was when she was reassigned at St. Mungo's again. Please tell me you have my baby girl here." She held her handkerchief closer to her.

Narcissa stood up and walked towards Molly. "Molly, she hasn't visited me for a month now. I was supposed to be admitted to St. Mungo's with Ginny as my mediwitch but the next day she disappeared. It seems that she and my son had a huge fight."

"No!" Molly broke down in tears.

"You bastard! What did you do to my sister?!" Ron struggled to break free from the twins' grasp.

"You can all beat me up; curse me or anything that you want. That much I deserve for what I did. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley I am truly sorry. I am the cause of all this. I made a stupid bet that I could make your daughter fall in love with me."

"YOU FUCKER!" Ron shouted as considering that was the only thing he could do.

He sighed. "I am sorry. It was stupid and wrong but I'm thankful it happened. During the course of the bet I fell in love with her. I doubt that you'll believe me but it is really the truth. I am willing to drink Veristasum to answer all your questions."

Arthur Weasley approached Draco. "You boy are a fucker as what my son said but I also respect you for telling us the truth. You are not off the hook yet."

"Dad! Is that all you have to say to that fucker? He should be avadad for that!" Ron exclaimed.

"Ronald. Calm down. Do you think that by doing that we can find your sister?" Arthur asked.

"We don't need his help. We have Harry. He can help us." Ron yanked his arms from the twins.

Arthur smiled. "My son, do you intend to risk Harry's life again? Hasn't he done enough saving for us? He is your best friend, yes we understand, but that is enough."

Ron calmed down and whispered "I just want Ginny home. I have so many things to tell my nephew or niece."

Arthur patted his son's back and looked at his other sons who had the same expression as Ron did. "We all feel the same but we have to stay calm if we want to find her." He turned to face Draco. "You boy, what do you intend to do?"

"Whatever it takes… I will find your daughter."

"And if you don't?"

Draco sighed painfully. "Then you can do whatever you want with me."

LUNA

Luna groaned. "What a dream. Gin I had the most weird dream." She looked up and saw an empty bed. "Ginny?"

"Call.. for.. help.." the doctor said.

"Doctor! What happened?" Luna hastily went to her side and helped her up.

"Sumvody cem in and put us to sleep. Good looking man, avout 5'8 mayve… I dun no."

"Thank you." Luna quickly apparated to her apartment. Tears ran down her face as she tried to search for Ginny. "Ginny please be here.. Please." She cried even harder when no one was in her room.

"I have to do something.." she grabbed her wand and apparated to the only place she could think of.

DRACO

POP!

Luna appeared in the middle of the room where the Weasley and Malfoy are present. "Need help.." she uttered the words before collapsing on the floor.

"Luna!" Blaise made a move forward but Draco gripped him on the arm and shook his head.

He moved forward and gently scooped Luna up and placed her upright on the sofa. "Luna, its Draco. Tell me what happened."

Tears continuously left Luna's eyes as she recalled what happened and slowly told them what happened. "Draco I don't know what to do. I should have hired somebody to look after us. This is my entire fault. I am so sorry Mrs. Weasley.. Please find Ginny. Please."

"Sshh.. Lu listen to me. Tell me again what the doctor said?" Draco gently gripped her hands to give her support.

"She said… he was a good looking man. He was about 5"8 but she was not quite sure. Draco please you have to find her."

"I promise that I will bring her back. In the meantime why don't you lie down to the guestroom? Blaise can take you there." Her eyes gave a look of alarm but she complied nevertheless.

Blaise ushered her to a standing position and placed his hand at the small of her back. With a last scared look at Draco, Luna allowed Blaise to assist her.

"It is almost dark. Why don't you stay here for the night? It would be best if everyone is here." Narcissa said.

Arthur just nodded. "Thank you."

MEANWHILE

Ginny groaned. Her back was killing her. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to sit up. There were two things she concluded right away: one is that she was on the floor and two, she was held captive some place she has yet to know.

The room was quite dark and the only opening Ginny saw was a small window offering the moon's light to her cell. "Damn! What happened?" she asked out loud.

The last thing she remembered was the doctor telling her she was having quadruplets. Her hand instantly flew to her stomach. She let out a sigh when she knew her babies were okay.

A rattling sound caught her attention and she eyed the door warily. The sound grew stronger as each second passed by and she held her breath. She then heard the faint clicking of the door and saw a man being shoved rather harshly. The door was then again locked.

She made no move and was looking at the man.

"Shit." The man cursed loudly and Ginny gasped. He looked up and the moon's light showed his profile. "Who is there?"

Ginny's eyes bulged out as she came face to face with Neville Longbottom. "Neville?"

"Who are you?"

She came forward instantly. "It's me Ginny."

"Ginny? What are you doing here??"

"Merlin I thought you were dead! We all thought." She clasped his hands tightly.

Neville shook his head. "I am not dead. I'm being held captive here for years. You don't know how lovely it is to see a familiar face. How are you Gin?" he gave her a hands a gently squeeze.

Ginny tried to smile but she could only make a whimper. Tears then ran down her face as she pulled Neville for a tight hug. "Oh Neville. I was so scared."

"Gin.. You are choking me.." and when Ginny didn't release him, he gripped her arm. "For the love of Merlin woman, I can barely hug you with your stomach bulging right in front of me."

This made Ginny instantly retract her arms. "I am sorry Nev. I forget sometimes that I am pregnant."

His eyes softened and his hand gently reached out and touched her cheek. "What had they done to you?"

"Nothing.. The last thing I remembered is that I was having my monthly check up with my doctor and her saying that I am having quadruplets. After that I woke up and here I am. Neville where are we?"

He sighed. "I don't know Gin. For years I have been trying to escape here but I still don't know where I am."

"Where have you been?" she indicated the door where he was shoved in harshly.

"He summoned me. I don't know who he is. He acts just like Voldemort or maybe he is Voldemort. I don't know. I stopped resisting the guards after a few months. I still rebel from time to time." He paused and continued to look at her. "You look really good Gin."

She gave him a small smile. "Thank you. You don't look bad yourself. Is anyone else here besides you?"

He shook his head. "No one. I am really glad to see you. Come, let us talk. Our time is limited here so best spend it with great care."

DRACO

"Colin."

Colin stood firmly with his arms crossed across his chest. He sternly looked at Draco. "How could you?"

Draco took a deep breath and ran his hand through this hair. "Please. I am sorry it turned out this way but please I need your help right now."

"My fists tells me to punch you until you spill blood but I won't do that. Not yet anyway. For Ginny's sake I will keep you alive." Colin glared at him.

"Thank you." He gave Colin a small smile.

"What did you come here for?"

"Back in Hogwarts, aside from being the best in taking photographs, you were the best in tracking people down."

Colin sighed. "When was she last located? Who was she with?"

"France and she was with Luna."

Colin quickly strode to his cabinet and took out a map. He then held out a crystal and pointed his wand at it. He murmured a spell and suddenly the crystal was now pointing to France and images now began to pop out. "There!"

The image stopped at Luna and Ginny going inside a clinic. "The crystal here is a tracking device. It came from the dwarves and it is said to capture still images of events that have happened. It seems like they were going to see a doctor."

Then another image flashed and this time they are looking at Ginny being carried by a man out of the clinic. "Damn! This event has been tampered with."

"Tampered?" Draco asked.

"Yes. It seems that this person knows what he is doing." Colin turned the crystal clockwise and a series of black images were projected and then he suddenly let go. "The succeeding events have been erased Draco. There is nothing more I can do."

Draco clenched his jaw. 'Who would want to hurt Ginny?' he thought.

"And for the record.. She loved you from the very start." Colin said breaking Draco's thoughts.

"What?"

Colin shrugged his shoulder. "I know you heard me. It was all pretend. I'm gay so it can't work out between us."

Draco was surprised. He didn't expect that Colin would tell him this. "You're gay?"

Colin chuckled. "I'm surprised you did not notice. Look Draco I have watched a lot of stories in life. It has a beginning and it has an end. I hope your end will be a happy one. She deserves to be happy and though I think that you don't deserve her for what you did, she loves you and you love her. Make this right please."

"Thank you Colin. I promise to do whatever it takes. I'm going now. Luna will keep you updated. Again thanks a lot." He gave Colin a nod before disapparating.

-#-#-#-#-

"Wow."

Draco chuckled. "Wow why?"

"You are giving off a very powerful emotion Drake. Hence the 'wow'… now I need you to calm down before my head bursts."

"You still feed on emotions?"

Leah shook her head. "No. sometimes there are emotions which I cannot block. Anyway, thanks for calming down. Your life is an interesting adventure you know. Whatever happened to Aerys?"

Draco stood. "That would be for next time."

"Damn it! Remind me to extend your time to three hours. Don't be late tomorrow. I have an appointment after our session."

"Yes ma'am. Thank you Leah. See you tomorrow."
