Chapter 4: Draco's Mistake
Ginny's POV:
I yawned as I flicked my wand to flip the eggs. I looked over to the side to my paper and pen... What the hell was I going to WRITE!
I sighed and added some salt to the eggs. Then I flicked my wand again for the eggs to flip onto the plate.
What else could I make? I wondered. Pancakes! I thought happily. I flicked my wand again and a pancake mixture apeeared onto the countertop. While the pancakes cooked I thought more about my paper.
There was nothing, absoulutely NOTHING to write about. I was hoping that Draco could help me out... I dunno, maybe there was some business or news that he knew about. After all, he works at the Ministry...
I looked down at my blue robes and wondered if it really was my color. I heard a soft tapping at the window. I looked up and saw a grown Pig tapping excitedly at the window. I smiled to myself. Pig had grown up but he was still the same. I laughed as I let him in and he nipped at my finger. I took the rolled up parchment from his leg and opened it. With another fick of my wand I made a bowl of water appear for Pig.
I read the letter:
Dear Ginny,
Hey, remember me? Your big brother, Ron? Its been a long time since I've seen you, Gin. Where've you been? What've you been up to? We read your aricles all the time... Mum and Dad are proud of you. I guess you knew that already, huh?
Well, Hermione and I are doing GREAT! In fact, we're having a house warming party aout new house. Its called the Dwelling. Its going to be on Saturday, the 21st. Around 5 or so... Try to make it, will you?
Hermione's pregnant? Did you hear? Its going to be a beautiful baby boy! Ahhh! Alright alright, Hermione hit my head. She's telling me that its going to be a beautiful baby girl. Humph, we'll see about that. OW! Yeesh...
Hermione says hi...
~Ron~
I smiled and stiffled giggles. I was DEFINETLEY going to come. The Dwelling, I thought to myself... It had a nice catch to it...
I flipped the pancakes onto a plate and set the table with yet ANOTHER wave of my wand.
When I thought everything was set I sat down at my desk and thought deeply of what my article should be about. I was so in thought that I didn't hear the knock at the door.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
"Ginny?"
I jumped, "Huh?"
"Ginny, its Draco," the voice said from the door.
"Wha- Oh, Draco!" I exclaimed. I stood up quickly and opened the door. "Sorry about that," I said sheepishly.
Draco smiled uneasily, "No problem." He stepped into the apartment and looked around. "Looks a lot like mine," he said.
I nodded, "Yeah. Um, so take a seat."
************
Draco's POV:
After we finished eating breakfast, Ginny and I started a conversation.
"Sooo... Um, Draco..." Ginny trailed off.
I nodded.
"Um, I dunno... See, I'm having a bit of writer's block for my article that's due tomorrow..." she said. "And I dunno, sice you offered help, I was wondering... since you work with the Ministry and all, if you had any important news?" Ginny asked hopefully.
I frowned. Yes, there was plenty of news that I could tell her, but I was sworn to secrecy for most of it. And I keep my word.
Last night, I had hinted to Fudge about Voldemort's where-abouts, but had he listened? Noooooooooo. The stupid git that wouldn't recognize himself in front of a mirror! Honestly, I don't know how he ever got elected Minister! But maybe, if I told Ginny about it and she wrote it... Well, then maybe the word would get out and people would start being more cautious.
"Well..." I started out slowly. "Yes, there has been some news- But, its not certain," I said.
"Well, tell me anyway," she said, looking interested. She had taken out a small notebook of parchment paper and that thingy that she had called a 'Muggle pen'. She opened the notebook to a clean page and looked at me interested.
"Well... We've received word that Voldemort's still alive," I said.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Of course you've received word of that! Its been rumored ever since Harry defeated him! But everyone knows its not true!" She said. She looked at me, and seeing the seriousness, frowned. "Is it?"
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions," I said quickly.
Hopefully we wouldn't have to jump to conclusions, I thought. But Father's hiding Voldemort and I have to stop him.
"But, people have been saying that one of Voldemort's trusted followers is hiding him and seeing to it that he gains his strength back. Its also been rumored that he's alive, and bigger and better than ever and just waiting to strike!"
Ginny looked amazed. She was chewing on the end of her pen nervously. She hadn't written down a word I had said, but she seemed to have memorized all of it.
"Th- this is... This is crazy!" She sputtered. But she smiled, "But, it would make a REALLY good story. Thank you!" Ginny said and quickly hugged me.
I stood there, stunned. Ginny Weasley was HUGGING me? I patted her back awkwardly. She pulled away.
"But none of this is true... Is it?" She asked.
I shrugged, "I hope not."
Ginny sighed, then laughed softly. "Katherine will pratically scream when she hears how good of a story I've got..." she said.
"Uh-huh," I said, nodding.
Ginny looked embarrassed, "No offense or anything, but could you leave? I want to start writing the article now."
"Oh," I said. "Uh, sure," I got up and she walked me to the door.
"So, I'll see you around?" I asked.
Ginny chuckled, "We'll see," she opened the door and I walked out.
"Bye, and thanks again," Ginny called.
"No problem," I said.
She closed the door.
I started walking back to my room with an idiotic grin on my face. Suddenly I realized that I could just Apparate and took out my wand and did so. When I arrived inside my new apartment I saw my father's owl waiting outside my window.
I groaned and opened the window, letting it in. I saw that he had given me a Howler. I sighed and opened it. Father's enraged voice boomed from it.
"DRACO GREGORY MALFOY! You are in big trouble young man!"
I'm not a young man," I muttered.
"Your mother had been worried sick about you!"
I snorted, "Right."
"And you're angering me by the minute! What were you thinking running off like that without a word?! You stupid boy!"
I rolled my eyes and drummed my fingers on the table, waiting for him to finish. But knowing, Father, and the big mouth he had- I knew this would take long.
"Master is VERY enraged about you leaving, too. In fact he's insulted that you didn't want to join the us, Death Eaters. I am ashamed and disappointed in you, Draco!"
"Like I give a bloody damn," I muttered under my breath.
"But, I will let you stay there and live on your own. We'll see- I know you can't stay there, cooped up all by yourself for long."
I sighed, knowing that the Howler was at its end.
"But one last warning, Draco..." Father said, his voice dangerous. "You better not rattle off that mouth of yours to ANYONE. Especially that Ginny Weasley. She's with the Daily Prophet and probably looking for a story. And she'll be looking for trouble if she publishes something that's not supposed to be... Same goes to you. You may be my son, and you may not think I will... But, mark my words Draco- I WILL kill you if you disobey."
And with that the Howler blew up in flames.
"Shit," I muttered. That bloody Goyle had told my Father on me! That betraying, slimy git!
Oh God... I thought. I had better tell Ginny before she publishes that story! I thought. I quickly Disapparated from my apartment and Apparated into her apartment.
But no one was there... She had probably left and went to go to God knows where.
I groaned and Disapparated from her apartment to Diagon Alley. This was going to be one LONG search...
I had better find her... Or else she and I were as good as dead...
A/N: So did you like it? The ending was the good part if you ask me... But the rest. well like I said... It sucks...
But could you please review?
