Draco had to stay at the hospital for a few days, due to the fact that when
he came in there, he was as stiff as a board, and they could not get him
apart. Ginny tried to convince them that he was ok to go, but there was no
way of really telling them, without explaining about the magic. So, Ginny
and Draco would wander around the hospital trying to get lost. It was
huge, and almost reminded them of Hogwarts. There were even many paintings
on the walls, but they did not move.
"I miss being in the wizarding world. I get the daily prophet and such, but it just isn't the same." Ginny looked depressed as she said this. Draco wanted to make her feel better, as he no longer felt any obligation to hate her because of the family rivalry.
"Well, if you don't think anybody would notice us being gone, I have some Floo Powder in my pants pocket of what I was wearing when I came in. You could visit the wizarding world, I haven't been there for a while myself - except for the incident with Fred and George yesterday." Draco said this with a smile. Not the evil smile that he always used in Hogwarts when he did something that resulted in somebody else getting a detention, but a genuine real smile.
"I don't think that I have ever seen you with a real smile."
"Never? I'll admit that I was a bit evil in Hogwarts." Ginny glared at him. "Ok, Ok, maybe more than a bit evil, but I thought that I at least smiled occasionally?"
"No. This is surely a first for me."
"There is a first for everything. Maybe you will see more if we can get me out of this hospital dress and get us into the Three Broomsticks."
"Sounds like a good idea to me. I think that they had to cut the pants off of you because you were so stiff. I hope they didn't think that they were drugs." Ginny looked worried. This would not be good for Draco. He would NOT enjoy rehab, especially if he wasn't doing any drugs.
"Don't look so worried. I don't do drugs, and you know magic. You could get anything from them. I would, but I didn't take my wand with me. Well, actually, I thought that I did, but it seemed to be somehow switched to one of the fake ones that your brothers invented. Now I don't know where mine is."
"You're right. I am just going to get your Floo Powder. Be right back! "
Draco waited in his room for a while. It was boring without her. He looked around the room looking for something to do, and finally finding a Where's Waldo book to look at for the moment. How does this amuse these muggles? It is pointless and stupid. *Pause* Aha! I found him. Draco smiled as he found Waldo, not even realizing that he himself had been also amused by the book that he had just insulted.
Draco continued to look at the book for the next ten minutes, when Ginny finally came back in. "Sorry it took so long, but it turns out that a lot of people have exaggerated what they think happened to you. I had to do a few memory charms and such."
"I didn't mean to cause so much trouble."
"It's okay. It is better to get them out of the way before they are spread around some more. Anyway, it is boring here, and I want to get something to drink." Ginny turned Draco's hospital dress into a suit and they left the room in search for a fireplace. It shouldn't be too difficult considering that it was the middle of winter. But then again, it would be very difficult to get hundreds of sick people out of a burning building. They are connected to the ivs and such. (A.N. sorry about rambling, I just thought of this, and, and, hmmm I am confused. On with the story!)
They finally found a fireplace. Draco went first. Ginny hoped that nobody would notice that she was gone; she was hardly ever needed. "The Three Broomsticks" shouted Ginny as she threw the powder into the fireplace and stepped in.
