Dragon Rod

Detention, and discovery of a Rod

It was now around February; Valentines Day was coming up, Harry and Hannah, and, Ron and Hermione were completely inseparable and Colin was hanging on Ginny. In Ginny's case she was try to make it look like she was once in love with Harry Potter, the boy who lived to cover her crush on Draco. Her schoolwork was piling and piling, the teachers seemed to have short tempers, well shorter than usual and everyone seemed to notice.

"Insufferable, pompous Git." Ginny exclaimed with anger when she entered the common room.

"What's up?" Ron asked.

"Snape-Detention-git." Ginny said trying not yell.

"He gave you another one, what for this time?" Harry asked. This is Ginny's sixth time getting detention in the run of two weeks, all from Snape.

"I was running late from Herboligy and I made it into the class right on time, but he took five points from Gryffindor and gave me a detention tonight, I have to meet him in his dungeon at 9:30 to find out what I'll be doing." Ginny exclaimed calming down a little.

"Ginny, you didn't do anything wrong, Snape has a bug up his nose." Hermione exclaimed.

"You'll probably have to was out all the caldrons and wash the floor, be happy you don't have to shine the trophies with out magic." Ron said Ginny smiled, as they all tried to cheer up. They played a couple games of wizard chess, Ron winning them all, and some exploding Snap. Ginny went up to her room at 9:00 to get ready. As she was putting her hair in a loose ponytail on the back of her neck an owl flew in her window. The not read;

Ms. Weasley,

You will meet me by the wooden doors, in the entry halls. Bring a warm cloak, we will be going out into the Forbidden Forest.

Snape.

'Great' Ginny thought, just what I need. Ginny grabbed her Cloak, pocketed Myco and went to the entry hall. When she reached the doors she saw someone standing already at them, Ginny walked up to him, tapped him on the shoulder;

"Sorry I'm late professor I-I…" Ginny trailed off, it was not Snape in front of her but none other than her crush, Draco.

"Professor, me? hardly. What are you doing here weasel?" Draco smirked.

"I have a detention," Ginny exclaimed "you?"

"Same." Was all he said.

"What did you do?" Ginny asked trying to make some sort of a conversation.

"Magonagal, I was late for class," Draco replied. Ginny laughed, "What's so funny? What are you here for?"

"It's funny, ironic funny, you were late and got detention, I was on time but still got detention." Ginny said between giggles.

"What do you have to do?" Malfoy asked.

"I'm going into the forbidden forest, you?" Ginny responded. Malfoy nodded his head in agreement. They didn't have a chance to talk much further when Filch approached them, he motioned for them to come with him. They followed him all the way in silence.

"We need to collect a type of plant, it is called muck weed, our stocks have run low and the only known way to get it is in there. Filch said pointing to the forest. He started to walk off.

"Wait, what does it look like?" Ginny asked. Filch turned around and threw a bag at them Ginny bent down to pick it up and in side there was two leaves.

"I will get you at two that gives you five hours, have fun." He smiled evilly and left.

"Give me one of those." Draco asked, rather stated. Ginny handed him one of the leaves, she pulled out Myco and turned on her heel and headed into the forest. Draco brought out Ruka and did the same only form an opposite entrance.

"Thinks, she's Queen." Draco stated to Ruka.

"I think she's pretty." Ruka replied.

"Figures, the gnome I would get would think Ginny Weasley is pretty." Draco said throwing his arms up in exasperation.

"Don't you?" Ruka asked, Draco tried hard to hold his blush down and promptly said

"No."

"I bet you do, oh look there's a patch." Ruka said pointing to a spot beside them, Draco knelt down and pocketed a lot of it, he was almost finish picking it when Ruka screeched, Draco turned around and saw Figure gliding toward him, covered in a black cloak he couldn't make out what it was. Draco sensed that he did not want to find out who it was so he started running, Ruka flying beside him, the Full moon Shawn and he could see his was pretty good, Draco turned hi head and noted the figure was gone, he turned it around again And saw Ginny Weasley but before either of them had time to react they collided and both tumbled over backwards.

"Weasley!" Draco said angrily

"Malfoy." Ginny spat back equally angry, she had a bump on her head and she could feel the throbbing pain, she lifted her hand and saw it shining again.

"Watch were your going." Draco snarled.

"Shove off, let me see your hand!" Ginny replied.

"What?"

"Give me your hand." Ginny said and grabbed for it, it was glowing to. She put her hand to his palm to palm like in the library, and it shown even brighter, than the first time. Draco realized what she was doing; it was exactly like the dreams they both had been having. In a few minutes the shadowy Ghost appeared.

"My name is Maledicta."

"What is this?" Ginny asked as she showed her hand to him.

"That is the sign, you will only see when you to are together at a full moon, it says that you are tho ones we have been waiting for."

"For what? And who are you? Are you a ghost or a real person, did you give me that broom, from the contest?" Draco replied

"You were the other winner." Ginny exclaimed, Draco nodded understanding that she was also the one whom he had to share his first place with.

"I am a time traveler, I was around when Jazan had his first dragon, I gave it to him. I witnessed everything. And I wrote the book you two so carelessly ripped. Yes I gave you those brooms. They are to be used when you fly in the final fight."

"Fly, fight, final?" Ginny asked

"Yes, the last battle, once the Midnight Rod is found by he-who-must-not-be-named, there will be a final battle, I have traveled to the future to tee it." Maledicta responded.

"What are these signs for?" Draco asked showing his hand.

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask but now I'll have to tell you. They are marks that signify that you two are the heirs of Dezre (he looked to Draco) and Airez (he looked to Ginny). The Midnight Rod could have been destroyed a long time ago if the Rod of fire and Rod of ice had been married but, they didn't." Maledicta started fading slowly. "I am being interrupted, I can't tell you any more, read the diary, I must go." With that he disappeared altogether. And two balls of light fell into their left hands. In the sky where maledicta was red letters said

Rod of fire,

Rod of ice,

Two I give you,

Midnight Rod is dooms desire.

Ginny looked at the little ball of light and she squeezed it, it shaped itself into a small rod, half the size of her wand it was Fiery red and had a circle on top of it, exactly like the one on her palm. Draco saw her do all this and he did the same, his shaped itself the same half the size of his wand, it was icy blue and had a triangle on top of it. Both of them to stunned to speak just looked at each other.

"Wow." Myco and Ruka said together.

"I think they like each other." Ruka said in a dreamy voice. Ginny blushed deeply and hid her face and Draco looked at her Questioningly. Both the dragon gnomes saw this and laughed.

"I think we should go back to the castle." Draco said getting up and motioning Ginny to do the same. They started walking out of the forest and they were about half way, Ruka tapped Draco on the shoulder and her turned around charging them was a werewolf, Ginny noticed he stopped and turned around. They both started at a sprint away from him the wolf was gaining and he pounced he knocked Ginny over and She screamed. Draco turned around to see he.

"Expelliarmus!" Draco shouted and the wolf was thrown off of Ginny into a tree and temporally knocked out. Draco ran to Ginny and helped her sit up there was a big scratch across her back diagonally, and it was deep and bleeding badly. The wolf was coming around and had started to come towards them, almost instantly the two rods moved together and fitted the triangle into the circle and a Dragon flew out of the Ground, he was red and ice blue glimmers all over him, very pretty. He grabbed the wolf and tore him into shreds then ate the pieces.

"Are you alright?" the dragon asked in Dragon tongue. Draco and Ginny some how understood him and they both said yes in the dragon tongue. Then the dragon Disappeared and the two Rods fell to their owner's sides.

"Are you ok?" Draco asked.

"Yes, I think so.' Ginny got up and wavered a little.

"You are not lay down on your stomach, and take off your Robe and shirt." Ginny took off her Robe and her shirt then she lay down on her stomach, draco put some of the muck weed across her cut and placed a sealing charm over it.  He picked some extra and gave it to her.

"Keep this, and out some on every day, with in a week you should have healed, but you'll have a nasty scar." Ginny sat up and nodded her head she started to put her shirt on when she say the cut through it and it was all bloodied up. It was a long cut and it stung.

"You should put your clothes on." Draco laughed, Ginny glared at him and then realized that she was only wearing a bra and he was looking at her, she blushed to the shade of her hair and grabber her robe and pulled it in front of her. Draco laughed even harder.

"It's not polite to stare, you know." Ginny replied. Draco laughed even harder.

"I wondered what your brother would say knowing I say you in your bra." Draco laughed at the thought and Ginny's blush deepened, she pulled her clothes on as fast as she could. Draco helped her walk out of the forest and saw Filch coming across the yard to them.

"Did you get any muck weed?" filch asked they both took out a hand full and gave it to him. Then they went up to the castle and to their separate dorms and to bed.

 Ginny and Draco were in the forest with Maledicta in front of them.

"Sorry I had to leave so soon," maledicta said and then he started fading, "uh oh, time to go." He disappeared. But his voice was trailing. "Marry the Rods." And was gone.
