"Deleted Scenes"

by Wyltk

Draco laid on top of the sheets in a hospital bed in St. Mungo's, his eyes tracing the patterns on the ceiling. It was late. Much too late to be up but he was.

Everybody who had been hurt in the café had been sent here and taken care of them. Most of them had been let go a few hours ago and only the bad cases were kept for observation, Ginny and Draco included.

Draco had been pardoned for use of one of the Unforgivables. It was in self defense, and they also said Lucius was wanted dead or alive so id didn't matter how he died.

However that wasn't what was keeping Draco up. He just couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. What might have happened.

And the more he thoughts about it the more it weighed on him. What if Lucius had actually killed her? Draco couldn't even think about what he might have done.

He had killed his own father. But then his father had almost killed someone… someone very special to him. What if he hadn't been there at all? Would Ginny still be alive?

Drake had said a long time ago that by the time he realized he loved her it would be far too late. What if it had been too late? What if it was still too late?

And then there was Drake. He was dead. It didn't seem real-it couldn't seem real. He had always been around it seemed. He always knew what to say and how to say it. He was a friend to both me and Ginny. But he was always so sad. I can't remember a time I saw him truly smile.

He was shaken out of his musings by the sound of feet padding softly down the hall. The feet paused in front of his door. The soft creaking of the door and then the feet started towards his bed.

He opened his eyes lazily and stared over at Ginny who was standing in a long flannel night gown twirling a strand of hair nervously around her finger.

"Please Draco. Can I stay, only for a little while."

She looked at him and he noticed her eyes had a scared/sad look in them. As if she'd lived years and years. He scooted over and held the covers up for her to slide in under them.

She curled up in the covers and he put his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head lightly as he felt her relax slightly.

"Get some sleep. I'll be here in the morning."

He felt her relax all the way trusting him beyond measure. It was so surprising she had even come to him. He would have thought she would have called for a nurse of maybe her brothers.

He heard her breathing soften and even out as she fell fast asleep. He smiled unconsciously tucking a piece of brilliant red hair out of her eyes.

Draco was about to fall asleep when something white caught his attention. It was sitting innocently on the bed side table but that was wrong. Almost all his family was dead and the others didn't know he was here. And he didn't really have any friends that would actually send him something.

Reaching over carefully he grabbed the letter. Easing back slowly, so as not to wake Ginny, he looked at the neat black writing that said, quite clearly, Draco Malfoy. Tearing open the seal he opened the letter and started to read.

Mr. Malfoy

     

Bet you thought you would never hear from me again, eh? Well to bad. Just so you know I wrote this in case anything happened to me. It was to be magically delivered to one of the only people who would have possibly cared about my death.

              

My heart muscles, as you may already know, are very weak. The truth is a few days before you met me I had a heart attack.

But this letter was to tell you how precious the person you have is. Ginny is a beautiful young lady who loves you very much.

That's one of the many reasons I wrote this. I told you I had a girl that loved me once. But I didn't tell you everything. After she told me she loved me I ignored her. I refused to come near her and later on I was captured before I could fix that. I stayed in a dark dungeon for months before I was rescued. Then it happened. The girl who all those months before told me she had loved me was killed. Killed by a madman who had nothing to loose.

After that I started to cut myself off from everything. During that time alone I thought about what could have been different. But mostly I thought about her.  She was my life-she is my life. And I found that out to late. But you still have a chance. You still have a chance to keep her-to love her.

She still loves you and she's still there waiting. So love her, cherish her. And for goodness sakes marry her! But don't let her go.  

Drake Brimmer                     

PS: If you hurt her I'll come back and haunt you, your children, your grand children, your great grand children, and so on. Until the Malfoy line is totally gone. Have a nice day!

Draco smiled slightly and hugged Ginny all the closer. He grasped onto the hand that was lying over her side intertwining his with hers.

Yes, Drake was right he wanted to marry her. He loved her. So now all he needed was a ring.

He looked down at the girl and slowly relaxed on his pillow letting the paper drop. He snuggled close to the girl and fell asleep.

The older Draco watched his young counterpart as he fell fast asleep. Furrowing his brow, he turned towards the women standing next to him.

"So where do we go now? You never died and I haven't grown old yet."

"We get sent back into them. After all we are a part of them."

The other Ginny said looking down at the couple with a soft smile. Draco nodded and touched the girl lightly on the shoulder.

"Will we-they stay together?"

"I think they will make it." Ginny smiled at him as he slowly began to turn young again. He had to after all so that nothing would be changed in the 'real' Draco's appearance.

"They won't have any of our memories, will they?"

"No they might see us in their dreams. See our life's in their dreams but other then that they will live their own lives.

"I still don't understand why I wasn't there the day you were killed."

"I don't know if you know this but I used to go to that café everyday at the same time. Draco found that out. And because of your talk with him he decided to come visit me at the café everyday."

"Funny how small things change time isn't it Doll?"

"Yeah… Star."

"Ginny." Draco whispered wrapping his newly changed 20 year old arms around her.

"Yes Draco?"

"I'm sorry about everything."

"I know you are Draco. I'm so glad we have a second chance. We get to love each other forever. Everything will work out and we'll always be together. It's our destiny. Come on it's time to go."

Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him forward towards the hospital bed. She stood above Ginny and looked at him holding onto his hand tightly. Slowly, with their other hand, they both touched the other counterpart's forehead. Slowly they began to shimmer and they melted away into the air.

And that's how the nurse found the couple hours later. Wrapped up together, fingers intertwined. Together forever in the wonderful circle called destiny.

AN: Well I hope you enjoyed the sequel. Did any of you people who have DVD's get the title? Well, I must go now. See you all next story!
