CHAPTER 36: ALL I SEE IS YOU

"Don't be so shocked. You had been warned before to stay away from me right?" William smirked. He grabbed Neville's head and lifted it up.

Ginny gasped as she saw Neville's face with blood. "Neville."

William laughed. "Here take him. You both are just the same. Pathetic." He let go of Neville's head and kicked him at the side. "You know Gin.. my dear sweet Gin, we could have made a beautiful couple. I am doing you a favour you know. He'll just throw you away like he did my sister."

Ginny was now slightly trembling. "What are you talking about?"

"Ah. I see he hasn't told you yet. That information is not important now. Rest if you must Gin-luv. You will have a very very long day tomorrow."

DRACO

He watched Aerys like a hawk.

"Stop it Draco. I promised you didn't I? I will help you." Aerys sighed as she poked the fire with a stick.

"I don't know if i should trust you. Not after everything."

"I know but i am really sorry."

Draco placed his head between his hands. "Where are we?" he was tired from all the apparitions and walking they had made. He peered at the snoring Ron sprawled on the ground sleeping.

"We are somewhere in Scotland."

"I see. How do I know you are not tricking me? And that when I wake up, you would be gone."

Aerys looked at him. "Take out your wand. Cast a locator spell on me. Know that whatever happens, you will know where to locate me."

Draco nodded and casted the spell. "G'night."

The Next Day...

"Draco! Draco! Aerys is gone!" Ron shook him with all his might that Draco felt he was in a roller coaster.

Draco grunted and sat up. "Calm down Ron."

"Calm down? Calm down? How should I calm down when the person who can save Ginny has gone?" Ron's face was now turning red.

Draco approached him and took him by the shoulders. "Ron listen to me. Aerys isn't gone. She promised me."

"And you believed her?!" Ron was now turning from red to purple in anger.

"You should trust Draco here. I gave you my word didn't I?" Aerys stood behind Ron with a deer on her back. "Besides... Draco placed a locator spell on me." She placed the deer beside the now extinguished fire and began a new fire to cook the deer with.

Ron eyes almost bulged out. "You dolt!" He pushed Draco's arms away from him. "You could have told me that!"

Draco laughed and patted Ron's back. "I tried to tell you mate but your face turning purple was quite priceless." He followed to where Aerys is.

"Shut up!" He gave him a glare but later on smiled at his stupidity.

They each sliced up a piece of meat and cooked it on the fire. "Okay we are almost there. A few more walking and we'll be there."

"How far exactly?" Ron asked.

"Not that far. Once inside the castle please be extra careful. There may be things that would make you feel things so suddenly or see things that are beyond humane. I won't guarantee that I'd still be with you by then. I will lead you to as far as the dungeons go. I feel it in my bones that something bad will happen to me so if you follow my instructions then you will be fine."

Draco poked the fire with a stick. "Thanks for helping us."

Aerys shrugged her shoulders. "Oh please.. This isn't even enough to compensate for the things I have done to you and to others as well. This isn't just about Ginny too. I want to save Alex from that man. He has been corrupted so much that sometimes all I see is evil."

Draco nodded and took his meat from the fire. "I'll go eat over there." He sat a few feet away from them. 'Ginny... I hope you are okay. There is so much I need to tell you.. Please be safe'

"Have you known Draco long?" Ron asked.

"You can say that. We were even engaged once." She managed a small laugh.

"What happened? I mean... If it is alight with you to talk about it... That is." Ron mumbled nervously.

"Summary? Well my family was a servant of Voldemort before. So obsessed with dark magic that my father threatened to kill my brother, whom I love dearly, if I don't break up with Draco. The threat was made on our wedding day." She paused and looked to where Draco is. "He told me that he would protect me and Alex but I doubted that promise when a death threat was made. I left him standing on the altar with my brother. I didn't know at that time that Alex was already with Draco. Foolish of me to even doubt him."

Ron gave her a sad smile. "I'm sorry."

She smiled in return. "After that, I was coerced into doing things that are against my will but forever regretting the things that i did to Draco. Then I later found out that Alex took the dark mark and when he knew I am constantly placed on the Imperio Curse then he made me a potion to which he let me drink every after I get whatever job done. He's a good kid but also greedy for power."

Then out of the blue she was grabbed on her arms and warm lips were on her own. It was a brief smack on the lips. To say she was shocked was an understatement. "I'm sorry. I don't know that came over me. I just.. I wanted you to stop hurting and.."

"So you thought kissing me was a good idea? Look mister.. I don't need your pity. Leave me alone." She grabbed the cooked meat and stayed a few trees away from Ron. She couldn't stop the blush that crept through her cheeks. 'Stupid Weasley!'

LUNA

She constantly tapped her index finger on the wooden chair she sat on. She was so frustrated that she was helpless in finding Ginny. It also didn't help that Blaise was watching her like a hawk.

"You don't have to be here always, you know." She said.

Blaise smiled. "I know but I want to be here."

She sighed and looked at him. "Look I am not ready to talk things out with you. Your presence unnerves me and I can't deal with that right now. What you did hurt me and I'm not sure if I'll ever forgive you for that."

"I see. Tell you what? I'll stop watching you" She raised her left brow to him and he held his hands up in defence. "I'm not finished. I'll stop only if you promise to eat three times a day and sleep at least five hours."

"I can't promise that!" She stopped the tapping on her finger and gave him her full attention.

He sat down right across from her. "Then I'll still be here watching your every move as if the world depended on it."

She gave him a glare and closed her eyes to think. 'Stupid! I fucking hate him right now. I guess I have no choice then.' She opened her eyes and said "Fine. I promise. Now could you please go?"

Blaise stood up and approached her. Her body instantly stiffened but he didn't care. He stood before her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Thank you." He gave her a smile then turned to leave the room.

"Argh! Merlin! Why did he have to do that?" she grumpily turned to look outside the window but couldn't stop the smile that was on her lips.

GINNY

"Ginny!" Neville sat up with heaving breaths.

"Neville what is it? I'm here. It's a dream Nev. I'm here." She lightly touched his arm and she recoiled when he hissed. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I didn't mean to scare you. Are you alright?"

She snorted. "I should be the one asking you that. I'm sorry about your wounds and all. I'm bad at healing without my wand or medical supplies."

He smiled. "Don't worry about it. I would do it all over again just for you." He reached out for her hand and kissed the back of it. "Listen Gin, I'll get us out of here. I have been working on a plan ever since I got here and with you here it will be the perfect plan."

She frowned at him. Whatever he plans to do gave her a feeling that she shouldn't trust him. 'But this is Neville Gin! He couldn't possibly harm you. He did save your life the other day' "Go on."

"Well all you have to do is pretend that you are in labour then the guards will come in and I'll attack them from behind. Once we are out I can guide us to the exit."

"It sounds dangerous Nev." She rubbed her belly to help her relax.

"Would you rather stay here or try to escape? We have to do it tonight."

That night...

"Are you ready Gin?"

"I don't think I can do this Nev." She was beginning to panic.

Neville approached her with a worried look. "You have to understand Gin that if it were only me in this cell it would be fine but with you being pregnant is all and keeping you here... It's just not right."

Ginny felt a little more assured by what he said. She took his hand in his. "Thank you for the concern Nev but can we do it tomorrow? I just feel that tonight would be a bad night to do it. Please."

"Okay. You know that I'd go to the ends of the earth with you right?" he flashed a sincere smile which made her heart flip.

"Stop teasing me Nev. We have to get some rest if we plan to escape here. Good night Nev." And before she could turn to her side, Neville grabbed her neck and planted a kiss on her lips. A kiss that was far from friendly.

"I would never tease you Gin. You should already know how I feel by now. I love you."

Ginny stared at him with a confused look. "I'm sorry I can't deal with this now." She turned to her side and before she could stop herself, she was crying. She felt really annoyed and selfish because when Neville professed his love for her, she saw Draco. 'The words that I so badly wanted to hear from him were uttered by another. How pathetic can I be but please if there is a God out there.. I'd be more than willing to be pathetic just to have his love.'
