"He has to pay for what he's done," a voice said angrily. Harry slowly woke up from the blackness of unconsciousness. Dizzy, he glanced around the dark room with unfocused eyes. Whoever shot that spell at him knew to take away his glasses when he woke.

Squinting to the side, Harry got a brief impression of silver blond hair before someone slapped him on the face.

"So, you're awake," came a cold feminine voice from above him. Harry briefly thought the voice was familiar but he just couldn't place it. His glasses were suddenly slammed onto his face and everything came into super sharp focus.

In front of him was none other than Eva, long blond hair and everything. Harry looked quickly around the room before taking a renewed interest on the woman in front of you.

"You're the one whose been trying to kill me?" he asked, his voice slightly incredulous. "You don't even look like you could hurt a fly." Cold brown eyes met his with a snarl and moments later a hand connected with his face.

"You don't look like you are even smart enough to do what you did." Eva raised her hand for another go at Harry.

"Now, now Eva, you mustn't hurt Harry too much. After all, Malfoy hasn't woken up yet. Can't hurt him without some kind of audience looking on." From the deepest shadows of the room appeared another figure, the shape of someone Harry knew only too well.

"Ginny?"

Indeed it was Ginny Weasley- all clad in black with eyes as cold as ice, she stalked foreword with a look of utter distaste and hate plastered on her pretty face. Ginny stood directly in front of Harry. Pushing Eva slightly to the side she raised one hand and brought it quickly across his face.

Harry winced in pain as he felt a thick liquid slowly travel down his face. He glanced up at Ginny and noticed the small knife, dripping with his blood, hiding in her small hand.

"Ginny? Why? I don't understand."

The look of utter hate solidified in her eyes. She glanced briefly at Eva before stalking closer to Harry. He fought unsuccessfully with the bonds holding him in place and when that failed, he slumped dejectedly against a smooth stonewall.

"Like I once said, you are not very bright. Every note and every attempt at your death was done by Eva and I. 'Why?' you may wonder. Because you hurt me, Harry! Deeper than anyone else." Ginny slapped Harry once more with the blade of her knife before pacing in front of his prone body. Eva watched her silently and came and kissed her lightly before checking on the other prisoner.

"Switching houses I could understand. If it made you happy than I would be happy. But then you started dating that retched thing," she kicked Draco in the face before continuing. "And I knew you had gone to far. You never thought about me, Harry, not at all! I loved you so much that I would have given my life to save you but do you care? No! No one cares about Ginny.

"It's not easy to be the only girl out of seven boys. I wasn't special and I knew you would never love me. So, one night when I was crying out in the gardens, Eva found me." Eva smiled lovingly at the woman in front of her. "Eva told me I was the prettiest woman she had ever seen and she knew about the darkness in me. She helped me come to terms with it, helped me cultivate it. She brought me into the darkness."

Ginny stopped and slowly raised her shirt. There, on her forearm, was the thing Harry was afraid to see- the Dark Mark. Eva joined Ginny and showed her matching tattoo. Harry watched in sick fascination before he was snapped out of it by a voice on his left.

"Is this some kind of new age mating ritual? Going out and pledging yourself to a psychotic Dark Lord?" asked Draco in his coldest tone.

Eva snarled and swiftly kicked Draco in the face. Then she kicked him again, over and over, until Ginny told her to stop. She was staring avidly at Harry's sick looking face.

"He's not sick, he's brilliant!" Eva snarled.

Draco spit out blood and glared at her. "He is demented, bitch, just like you! If he's willing to rape and kill little children then that shows you how messed up he is!"

Harry turned away from his boyfriend and concentrated on his binding. Draco once said that Harry had the capacity to do wandless magic. Concentrating and imagining his binding falling away, Harry nodded for Ginny to continue.

"Why Voldemort?" he asked.

"Why not? Did you know that Tom still haunted me? I fell in love with him Harry. In second year when he took over my body. He told me he was sorry that he had to do this to me but he promised to take care of me. When I joined his ranks, he said the same thing to me. And I stilled loved him in a deep part of my heart. No one knew, of course. No one suspected small- quiet little Ginny. But now, Harry, you pay for taking away my Lord!"

Ginny raised her hand and lunged. The knife slashed through the air, moving with liquid grace. Harry tried to move but was too late. He felt the knife slide through flesh right beneath his ribcage as his body rocked in pain.

"HARRY! Get off of him you BITCH!" cried Draco. He tried to attack Ginny but was held down by Eva. Still, Ginny kept stabbing him over and over but strangely enough she missed his heart every time.

Harry heard grunts of pain from his left and he looked over to see Draco being beaten by Eva. "Draco." The world was slowly turning gray and Harry tried vainly to stay awake, to stay focused and with his surroundings. Harry's eyes met and held with Draco's and the whole world dissolved around them.

The only thing that mattered was Draco. Harry remembered every touch and every caress they had shared. Distantly Harry registered that Ginny had stopped stabbing him and Eva had backed away from them.

"I wish we had had more time together, love," whispered Harry. Blood slowly fell form his lips but he still didn't take his eyes off of Draco. Bruises marched back and forth a crossed Dracos' face but Harry thought he was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"I'm sorry I hated you, Draco. I'm sorry I dragged you into this. I'm sorry." Harry struggled to breath as blood slowly filled up his lungs. "I love you, Draco."

"Harry? Harry, focus on me, please, love. Don't leave me Harry, please. I love you, please don't leave me."

Light filled the room; a pure and golden light, distracting Ginny and Eva who had stared at the two boys and making them turn around. A voice said something but neither one noticed. The bonds around the boys fell away, burned from the contact of the light. Draco immediately scooped Harry up into his arms.

Tears were slowly falling from those big gray eyes and Harry weakly tried to brush them away. "I'm sorry, love. I think my Mom would have loved you if she was alive." More blood poured from his lips. "At least I'll get to meet her soon. I hate leaving you."

"Shhh, Harry. Don't talk like that. You'll be fine and we'll live together and have tons of beautiful children with y-your messy hair and- and big green eyes. Don't leave me Harry."

Harry simply smiled and slowly drifted away. Draco sat there unmoving before crying harder. Leaning over and clutching Harry to him.

"Don't leave me," he said softly. More tears fell like rain. "Don't leave me, Harry. Damn it Harry, I said DON'T LEAVE ME!"

The light around them was burning brighter and Draco felt something in him swelling. A voice seemed to whisper deep in him 'Blood of my soon, Tears of pure love, Heal thy wounds and return to thy love... Live well, Harry. I love you'. Then the voice was gone.

Draco felt the strength return to him and he sat up straight. A rope seemed to form in front of his eyes, silver and gold entwined to form an almost crystal clear color. "Pure love.." One end was shinning brightly while the other was dimmed.

"I command you to come back! I command you, Harry James Potter, to come back to me! Damn it, love, COME BACK!" Something on the other end uncurled and latched on tightly to the rope. "That's it Harry, come back. Come back.."

Draco felt the breath raise Harry's chest as his heart started beating. The gathering light gathered itself and flew into Harry's body, healing the most devastating wounds. Harry opened his eyes and looked up, smiling.

"I'm not gone? I dreamed of a rope and you were on one side, calling me back. My side was dimming. I didn't want to leave. You brought me back?"

Draco nodded. "And I don't intend to let you go. Ever again."

They smiled at each other before passing out.

AN: Wow, this is long. And still not done. Anyway, I hope people like this and I know that many will not like Ginny being the stalker. I, personally, think that it is a possibility but that's just me. I am expecting flames but if I don't get any, yippy! Thank you to all my reviewers and enjoy! ~Ta-ta
