Title: The Sea of Grey Kings
Author: Keladieea
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Late, stormy nights are the one thing that Ginny finds comforting, and by chance, it's the only thing Draco Malfoy finds comforting.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters... I do not own/and did not write the song lyrics I will be using in this fic!
Author's Note: I changed the title, I wasn't expecting my fic to become so much in depth, but it did, and I didn't think the sappy title was really fitting anymore. Also, I decided to put lyrics from different songs in each chapter. But the lyrics will make sense with the story.
The Sea of Grey Kings
Written By: Keladieea
Chapter Six: Behold the Nightmare
*****
All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You're so cruel in all you do
But still I believe, I believe in you
*****
Draco awoke from a deep slumber that had been dreamless, and his first thought was of Ginny. Was she okay? Were the visions returning with pain? He would never know these answers, however, because he had told her that they needed to stay away from eachother.
It was then that he noticed the snow white owl at the end of his bed. It was Harry's owl, Hedwig, and it had a letter to Draco. He took it and calmly opened the half folded piece of parchment.
Dear Draco,
I know what you are doing. You're trying to make me dig a hole and crawl into it, so that I never have to show my feelings again. So that Voldemort and the Theous Scrolls will never find me.
Well that's too bad Draco! Because even though you're willing to hide and avoid facing your fears, I am not. I am going to fight this. Last night, I had a vision, more like a dream. I met Althuos and Marin, and I know you did too, because they told me that they had seen you right before I appeared. I'm going to protect them. They showed me their world, they showed me what I'm fighting for. It's much more than our world will ever be.
So, Silver Dragon, are you willing to fight? Or do you want to live in fear forever?
-Ginny, the Fire Angel
"Why is she so stupid?!" Draco hissed to himself, and rose from the bed.
He wrapped his black cloak around his tall frame, and exited his room as fast as he could manage.
"About time you showed your face." Came Ginny's voice once he entered her room.
"Are you stupid? Do you know what could have happened if someone intercepted that letter?" Draco yelled at her.
"It wouldn't matter! I'm going to fight this anyways." Ginny yelled back.
"Fight what, Ginny? We don't know what we're fighting yet!" Draco yelled louder.
Ginny was silenced by this. Suddenly, she broke into tears.
"I'm not suppose to be a hero, or someone important." She sobbed.
Draco froze in his place, even though he wanted to wrap her up in his arms and soothe her.
"I'm only Virginia. Just Ginny. Harry is suppose to be the big hero. Not me!" She looked at him and screamed, "NOT ME! DO YOU HEAR ME? I AM ONLY GINNY WEASLEY!"
"Gin..." Draco said softly.
"Are you okay Ginny?" Ron ran in, Harry and Hermione close behind.
"What did you do to her Malfoy?" Harry gathered Ginny into his arms.
"Sod off Potter, it's not my fault that she's a bleedin whiner." Draco huffed, and turned on his heel, his black cloak slicing through the air.
*****
"Master, we know who one of the seers is." The voice belonged to Lucius Malfoy.
"I do not wish to make a move on Virginia Weasley until I know who the other seer is." Voldemort looked at his right hand man with red, beady eyes.
"As you wish, Master..." Lucius bowed, and fled from the room.
*****
Draco found himself covered in sweat as he shot up from his sleeping position. Which was oddly enough, on the floor of the hall outside his room. I must have fainted, Draco realized.
"Draco?" Hermione turned the corner.
"He doesn't know." Draco whispered.
"What?" Hermione approached him.
"Voldemort doesn't know that I'm the other seer. He won't Ginny until he knows who the other one is." Draco stammered, and tried to lift himself from the ground.
"Draco, sit still. I'll go find Proffesor Snape." Hermione advised him, and ran off down the hall.
Draco ignored her and closed his eyes. He tried desperately to get in the the Grey World. His wish was granted.
*****
"Althuos!" Draco shouted over the waves.
Where is that Grey King, Draco thought angrily.
"Silver Dragon?" It was Marin who appeared.
"Where is Althuos?" Draco demanded to know.
"He was captured, this morning, by Theous. A cloaked man with red eyes was floating above the water when Theous appeared. Who was he, Silver Dragon?" Marin had tears in her blue eyes.
"It was Lord Voldemort." Draco said, and felt his last hopes dying.
"What did you come here for? Theous and the cloaked man could return at any moment." Marin's panicked eyes looked out over the water.
"Voldemort doesn't know that I'm the other seer. He won't hurt Gin- ...He won't hurt Fire Angel until his knows I'm the other one." Draco explained, "But you must tell me about Theous. Why has he turned on you and the other Grey King's?"
"He wants power. But Zanios is the strongest of the Grey Kings, so therefore he rules over all." Marin explained.
"Where is Zanios?" Draco demanded.
"He forever sleeps. Theous casted a spell on him to make him sleep, hoping it would weaken Zanios. But even in sleep, Zanios powers over Theous." Marin said sadly.
"Is Althuos the weakest of the Grey Kings?" Draco asked.
Marin merely nodded, and her eyes once again swept over the water.
"You must leave now." She panicked.
Draco turned, and his grey eyes locked with red eyes. He panicked and dove beneath the water, letting his thoughts leave him and the darkness take over.
*****
"He knows!" Draco screamed as he woke.
"Who knows?" Snape was standing over him, along with Ginny and the Dream Team.
"Voldemort knows its me." Draco whispered in a horrified tone, "He's going to come for me and Ginny."
"How does he know?" Snape hissed.
"I think he seen me when I was with Queen Marin in the Grey World. And if not, he and Theous kidnapped Althuos, and they will surely find out from him." Draco explained.
The Dream Team was confused, but Snape and Ginny understood him.
"We must get to the Grey World." Ginny said in a panicked tone.
"We will go." Draco agreed, "And we will try to lead Voldemort and Theous out of the Grey World and into ours."
"We should go back to Hogwart's." Harry suggested.
"We will." Snape nodded, "I don't want either of you going back into that world. Not until we're safely back at Hogwart's."
Draco stared at Ginny, who looked away.
