~!*!~_!~!_!*!_!~!_~!*!~_
Ginny went on her weekly visit to Azkaban early one morning.
There was no reason for her to go… but it just pulled her there, like invisible strings, ever since she had graduated… about a ½ year ago. She loved going there, making sure that everyone had enough food.
The Dementors didn't bother her at all. For some reason they hadn't since the third year.
As Ginny traveled through the halls, she spotted a doorway she had never seen before. Some of the rooms were forbidden but no body said anything about this one.
*Hmmm… * She thought *I think I'll risk it… the worse that can happen is me getting kicked out early… it's not my problem if not everybody has enough to eat. * Her curious side took over, that side had a bit of an attitude.
She went through the doorway. The room was dark.
"Lumos" She whispered and her wand lit up. She gasped at who she saw. "Harry?"
"No, It's bloody Draco Malfoy" Harry said from the cell in front of her.
"What… what are you doing in here?" Ginny asked, rushing to the bars.
"My father staged a crime for me to commit." Harry drawled, eyes sharp.
"Harry… are you in your right mind… how long have you been in here? Your father… well your father's dead" Ginny whispered, trying not to cry for the boy. She knew that it would affect him more than others, being around Dementors and all.
"He is not. I told you Weasley. I'm not Harry." The boy spat.
"You are Harry! And I'm Ginny, No one's called me Weasley… since… a couple of years…" Ginny trailed off dreamily. *Stop it! Draco Malfoy's the greatest prat in the world *
"Weasley" Harry said, but received a cruel glare from Ginny "Ginny… I can't tell you who I am. But you can guess. Who called you Weasley?"
"You're not Draco Malfoy. You are Harry Potter. You two are the exact opposite."
"But who's who?" Harry asked coming up to the bars.
"Harry, how long have you been in here" Ginny asked, voice shaking.
"Not even a week." Harry replied. "And I'm NOT HARRY!"
"You're sure as hell not Draco Malfoy. You are Harry!"
"Ohhh… how can I get you to believe me?" Harry asked… then smirked… very un-Harryish thing to do. "Well… I remember… Harry told you, in your sixth year… that he did not like you. That he'd never kiss you… that you two could be best of friends but never more… never"
Ginny looked about to cry. Harry's face softened the least bit.
"Don't cry though… that's the last thing I want you to do. I need you to help me. I am not Harry!" The boy said. Ginny tried not to cry further and the boy stuck his head through the bars "Shh… I don't want you to cry… come here. I need to tell you something" Harry said, motioning for Ginny to come closer. She did so, scared. Then the boy leaned forward and kissed her. She almost fainted. The boy kissed harder, suddenly enjoying Ginny's lips. Ginny actually gave into the kiss and only stopped when she felt the boy's tongue graze across her lips. She backed away.
"Ok," Ginny whispered "You're not Harry."
The boy looked at her under his eyebrows, breathing slightly heavy.
"And you can't be the innocent Ginny Weasley." The boy said.
"If you're not Harry… who are you?" Ginny asked, brushing the comment away.
"Who do you think I am?" The boy asked. "Seriously, Weasel. I would think the next head girl would be smarter."
Ginny gasped, finally figuring it out.
"Malfoy" Ginny hissed
"10 points to Gryfindor!" Draco said mockingly. It was quite a sight, to see Harry Potter mocking Gryfindor.
"Why… why… I can't talk to you… I'm not supposed to be in here." Ginny muttered. She got up to leave
"No!" Draco said, his face turning helpless. "Please, I am innocent. My father did frame me… give me Veritaserum… anything. Just please get me out of here."
"Why?" Ginny asked, her courage returning to her. "What have you been to me other than horrible, retched. Why should I help you?"
"Because I need it. Can't you make Veritaserum? Come back and visit too? Please… how can I convince you I'm innocent?"
"You were never innocent." Ginny spat. "And why would your father frame you?"
"For me bloody insulting the damned dark lord. VOLDERMORT" Harry-eeerrrrrr Draco said. He expected Ginny to wince
"The name does not scare me. The only name that I should be afraid of following me is Tom Marvolo Riddle."
"And it doesn't?"
"No! I faced him! In my first year. You know that." Ginny said, voice dulling a bit.
"I do but I don't wish to be as big of a prat that everyone says I am by rubbing it in." Draco replied. "Please, help me" Draco's voice was shaking.
"Why?" Ginny whispered.
"Because I am innocent."
"How do you look like Harry?"
"I think that a Dementor is putting polyjuice in my drink. How else?"
"Well… I'll make some Veritaserum… but… I have to go now." Ginny turned to leave, not liking the look of helplessness on 'Harry's' face.
"Wait." Draco said. Ginny turned to him and he grinned "Thank you."
He saw a faint, but there, smile on Ginny's lips.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
*Why did you do that * Ginny mentally scolded herself as she walked into the burrow to visit her mum, but forgot that detail and walked right past her (she had a flat of her own)
"Hello dear. How do you like the weather we've been having?" Molly asked, commenting on the lovely weather.
"Oh yes, it's just horrible" Ginny muttered. Molly frowned and watched as Ginny stormed up to her old room in deep thought. Ginny threw herself on her bed, covering her face with her hands…
Why Draco Malfoy? Why was it he that had to be such a good actor? She believed him but knew it had to be a trick. God she hated his gorgeous face… framed by pale hair… but he looked like Harry now… that was what was bothering her.
"Dear?" Molly asked from outside. "You know… you don't live here anymore."
"Damn" Ginny cursed under her breath. "Oh yes mother… just a weird day at Azkaban today" Her face scrunched up sarcastically * Really weird*
"Right, well… can I come in or are you too deep in your thoughts? I take it you didn't come here to brood anyway"
*Enter, Molly Weasley, ever concerned nosy mother * Ginny thought "Go ahead mother come in"
Molly's face peaked in from behind the door. She sat on the bed and put a hand on Ginny's leg.
"Now dear, what's the matter?"
"Did you know Harry's in Azkaban?" Ginny asked. Molly jumped
"Harry?!?!"
"Yeah mum… the boy who lived… the famous Harry Potter, Ron's best friend."
"Yes I know who Harry is" Molly replied, frowning at Ginny's new attitude. "How?"
Ginny looked skeptical… she never thought about that.
"Didn't have time to ask" Ginny lied. She had had plenty of time to ask Draco. But she was so scared that she forgot, stupid her.
"Oh… well it doesn't seem like Harry, does it dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I think he was framed."
Molly gasped and Ginny stifled a laugh at her mother's dramatic… expression.
"Why! Who would want to frame Harry?"
"Crabbe, Goyle, Lucius… Millicent… Pansy… Blaise" Ginny listed "It could go on."
"What about that Draco Malfoy?"
"No…" Ginny said, a little to enthusiastically "I mean… I don't think he would." Ginny finished, her mother frowned.
"Why not?"
"I just don't think he would mother… please leave it at that." Ginny said "I have my sources" *Mainly him*
"Right, just so you don't bloody go and get yourself engaged to him" Mrs. Weasley laughed. Ginny joined in laughter, nervous, yet laughing.
"Mum, he's a Malfoy" She said.
"I know, I know… but… still… Malfoys have their charms too."
"Right."
~!~$%~#%@
Ginny had dinner with her mother and father then went home. She put her keys on her table and sat on her settee.
"Why Draco!!!" Ginny growled to herself, throwing a pillow across the room. "Ok… so I did have a little crush on him… but… he's such a prat!" Ginny groaned again and covered her face with her pillow.
!@$#^^$#
In Azkaban (the wizard prison)…
"Ginny…" Draco muttered… well… it was now Draco because someone neglected to give him polyjuice that night. He was sleeping, uneasily, because he kept dreaming that Ginny wouldn't get him out… that she hated him. Then he woke up. He was fretting over how it might come true. "Why do I care?" Draco asked himself
Non-the-less, the images of her floated through his head. He remembered in her sixth year, the last time he saw her… the image of her stuck in his head. He had brooded over the blossoming flower, had thought her too perfect for words. For two and a half years.
Now she was the only one he could depend on.
He slammed against the bars in his furry.
"Why her?" Draco asked himself aloud. "Why, out of everyone, her… I'll tell you why, because she'd St.Mary that's why. Always has to visit the bad people… make sure they have enough to eat…. And I'm a bad boy… and her face is enough to make any guy hard… that's why." Draco winced. "And you're talking to yourself mate."
Draco howled in frustration.
~~!%%^##
The next day, Ginny started on the Veritaserum. She had made up her mind to go sooner than a week… she didn't know when though.
She also made up her mind to bring her invisibility cloak, if he was telling the truth.
She didn't know why she suddenly felt the urge to help him. She wasn't going to let him off easy either. She was going to act her fireball self around him… treating him as the stuffed ferret he was.
*The hottest stuffed ferret I've ever seen* Ginny thought to herself before scolding herself and going back to the potion, blessing that it was Sunday and she didn't have work.
She decided that night would be better for her for two reasons.
~@%#^!$^
Ginny arrived with the, shrunken, invisibility cloak and the bottle of Veritaserum in one of her robe pockets.
She got past the guards just fine, they were not Dementors anymore. Just ruddy guys.
She followed the paths to Draco's cell. He was asleep against the wall, in Harry form again.
Ginny winced, thinking of how to wake him up. She moved her hands in urgency… she didn't want him to yell… she finally gave into her last choice. She stuck her head through the bars and pressed her lips against his. Draco immediately awoke. But he kissed back. Ginny couldn't stop. They both leaned into the kiss, and again, Draco's tongue against her lips was the breaking point.
Ginny quickly pulled away, hitting her head a bit on the bars in her urgency.
Draco … Harry… almost laughed.
"Good evening to you too Weasley." Draco said. He growled and snapped, Harry's, teeth at her. He then sat up.
"Really, you look like Harry… and Harry wouldn't snap his teeth" Ginny replied.
"So?" Draco… erm… Harry… er… he asked.
"I came to give you the Veritaserum." Ginny as she looked for the bottle in her robes.
Draco caught a glimpse of her, perfect, figure underneath her robes (no play on Shakera's song.). Ginny quickly pulled them shut after she had stored the invisibility cloak firmly in her pocket again.
Draco stared at her face.
"So… I know that you're not Harry…. I just don't know you're innocent." Ginny said.
"I'm innocent" Draco whispered… well erm… Harry's form whispered
"Have a sip of this and we'll know." Ginny replied, opening the bottle and handing it to Draco.
"Well… can you promise me you won't ask anything else?" Draco asked.
"Duh"
"Right-oh" Draco said. He took a swig of the potion and his eyes sort of rolled back. Ginny sat on her knees to start questioning him.
"What is your full name?" Ginny asked
"Draconis Lucifer Malfoy" Replied Harry's form.
"Right… erm… how did you get in here?"
"My father framed me doing something that I didn't do."
"Uh… what was that?" Ginny asked… Harry's form smiled in irony.
"Trying to kill me in Harry Potter's form."
Ginny gasped and put her wand up to Harry's temple, muttering "Enervate."
Draco came to, blinking.
"That was weird." Draco muttered.
"Y-You were framed for… trying to kill… well you?" Ginny whispered.
"In one" Draco muttered coldly.
"Well. Then I'll get you out of here"
Harry's figure smiled.
~@#^!#^$
"Shh, I told you be quiet while we're exiting the guard's station" Ginny hissed to the air besides her.
"Well, I'm sorry my claustrophobia is just now taking over." A voice next to her hissed back.
Soon they were at the guard's station.
Ginny passed by and thanked God the Dementors were not put in charge of the gates, thanks to Dumbledore being new Minister of Magic. (Serious replacing him as headmaster, an Auror impersonating a death eater cleared his name from Wormtail)
Ginny got into the little muggle motorboat she used to get back and forth between mainland.
"Come one" Ginny hissed, feeling foolish talking to herself.
"I'm coming" Came the other voice. She heard footsteps into the boat and a faint "Ready"
"Finally." Ginny snapped. She started the boat for the ½ hour journey to shore.
They didn't speak until halfway there and Draco finally took the invisibility cloak off. He was still Harry though.
"Thank you" Harry's form muttered.
"You're welcome but you owe me one." Ginny replied snappishly "Or two or three…" she looked back to the water and a minute later she looked back and Draco looked like Draco again.
She yelped.
"What?" Draco asked. He noticed his voice was back to normal. He felt for his perfect hair (AN Hehe Aunty Dak) He grinned. Ginny looked at his face, it was a little paler than usual.
"I just helped Draconis Lucifer Malfoy… the bloody devil himself." Ginny muttered, captivated by his face.
"I thought you said you wouldn't ask anymore questions." Draco said, frowning deeply.
"I just saved your bloody arse and you are scolding me for making sure I'm saving the right person?" Ginny asked, enraged.
"What else did you ask?" Draco yelled over the wind that had just picked up. "If I was a bloody VIRGIN?"
"No! But I think I know the answer" Ginny replied incredulously as to what he was accusing her of.
"Well then" Draco drawled, trying to hold control of his emotions "Tell me."
"Of course you're not."
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Draco replied.
"Well why did you bloody ask/"
"I don't know" Draco replied smugly.
They sat in silence. Draco looked at Ginny's face
*Even when it's screwed up trying to steer the boat and not kill me at the same time… she's beautiful… I wonder if those two kisses meant anything to her.* Draco thought to himself.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Huh?" Draco replied, jumping a little.
"Why were you staring at me?" Ginny demanded, looking over at Draco.
"Why would I stare at you?"
"That's what I'm asking" Ginny replied through gritted teeth.
*I wish she'd let me taste that sharp tongue.* Draco thought to himself "Can't I stare at a beautiful face?" Draco asked, standing to stretch his legs.
Ginny was taken aback at his sudden statement.
"Why? There's no-one else on the boat" Ginny replied so Draco could barely hear her.
He frowned and sat next to her, brushing a strand of brownish-red hair out of her eyes.
"You are beautiful. Thank you for rescuing me" Draco whispered near her ear. Ginny's breathing became labored.
"I… stop trying to flatter me Malfoy" Ginny snapped and revved the boat so Draco fell off the seat and onto his (nice) arse. Ginny didn't even look before saying "oops" innocently.
Draco growled and got up.
~!%#^~@
When they arrived inland they trekked to a port key that brought them to a park right across the street (Kaos… frog and toad) from her apartment.
Draco slumped after Ginny, up 8 flights of stairs, watching her swaying bum all the way (Ginny did not notice this or he would have been smacked.)
"Here it is" Ginny mumbled, opening her door, coming in and almost slamming the door on Draco's face with another innocent "oops" . But Draco had quick reflexes and opened it up, closing and locking it behind him.
"I like it" Draco said. Ginny tried not to smile.
"Good for you… now…" Ginny moved to her settee, taking off her rob and sitting in the middle of it. "I guess I'll have to be your damned secret keeper" Ginny mumbled Draco followed Ginny's lead, sitting on the sofa, though he had no robe to remove.
"You say damned as if it's a bad thing Weasley"
"I hate that name." Ginny stated.
"Would you rather me call you Weasel?"
"Ginny will be fine."
"Ginger?"
"Ginny." Ginny stated
"Oh… and I hate the name Malfoy it being evil and all. I might not act like it but I'm really good at heart. And so my name is Draco" Draco replied.
"Draconis?" Ginny asked teasingly.
"Whatever"
"It's too long" Ginny huffed. Draco smirked and Ginny had to stop herself from sighing at the sexy-ness of it all. So she bit her lip. Draco put his arm around the back of the sofa.
"So…" Draco started "You know anything about the fiddilius charm?"
"In fact, I do. I had to memorize it for the Ministry. Oh… I told you! I'm the Minister's direct assistant… oops" Ginny smiled sarcastically, almost a smirk.
"Wow…" Draco said, smirking. "You've got more insults in you than anyone… except for me of course."
"Why…" Ginny said, putting her hand to her heart. "I'm honored your majesty." This time Ginny did smirk. Draco's jaw dropped. "What?"
"That's my smirk!" Draco said accusingly "Tons and tons of people have tried, and failed, to imitate it… but… only you… why you little stealer."
"Well… if you don't remember…" Ginny said, nervous at how she had done 'the smirk' "I just 'stoled' you out of Azkaban."
Draco frowned.
"You still stole my smirk." Draco muttered babyishly.
"Oh… baby want a bottle?" Ginny asked, putting her hand on his, strong, chest.
*Or something, someone, else to suck on…* Draco thought to himself, looking at her neck. But he continued to Ginny, "That's ok." Draco grinned. A true smile. Ginny's eyes widened. Then his arm came around to her back and rested there. Ginny didn't notice as their eyes were locked. "You know… you just broke a big law" Draco said softly. Ginny started to cry, out of the blue. Tears were just streaming down her face. She buried her head in Draco's chest, tears soaking through his thin shirt.
Draco reluctantly put his arms around her, comfortingly, and rested his chin on her head.
"Shh…" Draco cooed. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to make you cry."
Ginny finally spoke. "I just broke the biggest rule" Ginny whimpered. *I fell in love with a Malfoy*
"Shh… I know the feeling." Draco whispered back. *I just fell for a Weasley*
"B-but… only we know right?" Ginny whispered, holding Draco's battered shirt tight in one hand.
"Not unless you perform the Fidilious." Draco replied.
Ginny shot up from Draco's grasp.
"Right" Ginny said, drying her eyes. She searched her robe, on the table, for her wand.
Finally she found it and began to mutter something incoherent under her breath. She then addressed Draco.
"Do you wish to be hidden, not seen by anyone but me. Or if you are seen by anyone else… you will not be recognized by them." Ginny asked, pointing the tip of his wand, into his chest which was still a little wet from her tears.
Draco breathed deeply.
"Yes" Draco said.
_~!~_~*~_~!*!~_~*~_~!~_
OK
That's it… that's the first chapter!
Phew
I like this story better than Detention (my other story you know.) My muse does at least…
Ok… well in this story I'm just going to have 1 joke at the end of each chapter to get you smiling and to cheer you up (though I don't think that this chapter is that antsy)
