"No, leave them alone!"
Ginny sat up quickly, her heart was beating dangerously in her chest, cold sweat coated her body. She was scared to open her eyes, scared on what the light would show her. Her greatest fear was that she would open her eyes, and she would still be trapped in her nightmare.
It had happened that way before, in her first year, she had opened her eyes from a nightmare to find herself in the Chamber of Secrets, with Tom destroyed and Harry close to dying due to the Basilisk venom. Since then, she had always been scared to open her eyes to reality after the pain of dream, the replaying of a dream on the darkness of her eyelids was way worse than what the light of the world could hold.
She had not had a bad dream in so many years. Nightmares had plagued her for while in the summer after her first year, but she had quickly found the strength to fight her evil dreams then. The dream that had just taken place had been the first bad dream she had had in a long time.
But this was nothing like the dreams she used to have. The first year nightmares had been mainly of Voldemort, and Tom Riddle, and all of the things that had transpired between the two of them. But these dreams were different.
Her dreams of Tom Riddle had been driven by her fears, and now it seemed, this new nightmare she was having was driven by fear to.
She finally opened her eyes, blinking in the morning sunlight; bur the brightness did not stop the replay that was still running though her head. Her dreams continued over and over in her head, not letting her escape the screams and cries that echoed in the relative silence of her mind.
Her dream had been of Draco and Kayla, reunited and happy. They had been at Draco's house, and he had been sitting, holding his beautiful little girl in his arms, her head resting on his chest, and her tiny little hand resting on top of his. They had looked so special together, so happy. And that was when Ginny realized something was soon to go wrong.
The door was then blown apart, splintered into literally a thousand pieces. Ginny watched helplessly as four people entered the room, each with a look of determination on their face.
Jacob and Evelyn Warner had grabbed their grand daughter form Draco's lap, and soon the room had been filled with the sounds of her crying, yelling for her daddy. Lucius and Narcissa had entered also, had pulled Draco to his feet, pulling him in the other direction, away from his daughter.
Ginny could still hear their cries for each other as she climbed out of bed, wishing for the dream to leave her mind. She wanted to push the thoughts away from her, she wanted to push away the negative thoughts that her dream had produced in her.
Getting on with her day was the only way she would be able to ignore the continuous loop that was still playing. She had only had that dream because of the fears that she was having during the day. Fears that the Warners would win the case, fears that the Malfoy's would come after Draco for stealing their money and taking responsibility for Kayla, fears that Draco would never see his little girl, and worst of all fears that she could not help him like she had promised that she would.
Humming to herself and concentrating on the sound of the running water was helping her block out the sound track of her dream. She finished in the shower, and continued to hum until she reached the busy hustle and bustle of the kitchen, which at the moment was filed to capacity.
Bill was there, and Charlie was visiting, the twins were there for a free food and Percy had not yet left for work. Her mother was moving around the small kitchen, cooking and trying to shoo off Ron, who was sitting on the counter, trying to steal food.
The sound of the room stopped the replays as her dream as she sat down at the spare chair at the table. The first plate of food was lowered before them, and soon, it was being removed as nothing but an empty platter. The second was placed on the table, and finally, Ginny was able to take her share of the bacon, eggs and hash browns.
Ginny loved her brothers dearly, but she had never before realized how rude they all really were. They sat, talking loudly to out do each other, each of them with a mouth full of half chewed food (well, maybe not Percy). They were kicking each other under that table, and Fred was poking a nasty looking burn that covered Charlie's left arm.
She missed her brothers, of course, she would never admit that she did, but she very much missed her brothers when they were not around. Every one should have a brother, maybe not as many as she was unfortunately 'blessed' with, but every little girl should have at least one brother.
Ginny wondered if Kayla would ever have a brother.
The back door of the borrow opened, and Arthur entered, placing a quick kiss on Molly's cheek before taking the seat that Charlie had just vacated for him (ok, maybe they Weasley boys were not completely rude)
"How was work Dad?" George asked. Arthur had been called in to work the night before, and there must have been a raid, because he was only just returning home.
"Another all night raid, confiscated heaps of muggle artifacts that had been tampered with in one way or another. All items would have been highly dangerous to the user if we had not arrived when we did" Arthur replied, helping himself to the remainders on the plate of bacon and eggs.
The boys all began to talk again, sharing stories with their father. Amazingly, he was keeping up with all of the conversations, directing comments to each of the boys as needed. Ginny just sat silently, listening to snippets of conversation and counting the minutes until she could leave to go to Draco's place again.
"Molly, you have not used the car lately have you?" Arthur asked when the conversation around the room died down a little bit. Molly turned to him, and placed a mug of hot tea in front of him.
"Why would I take the car? You know I do not like that crazy thing!" Molly replied, slapping Fred on the back of the head so that he would stand and Molly could take his seat.
"Well, it is the weirdest thing, this morning, when I checked on the car, the speedometer was a lot higher that it had been the last time that I checked it, I found that a little odd......."
"Ginny stole the car!" Bill exclaimed suddenly, rendering everyone speechless. Molly and Arthur both turned to him, Ginny just glared. Around the room, the others were just staring at each other, none believing that their little sister had what it took to steal a car.
"Bill stole it first" Ginny exclaimed, standing and pointing at the brother who had dobbed her in. "You always were a gutless one" she muttered to him, Bill blushed lightly.
"You stole my car Gin?" Arthur began; Ginny looked down at her plate. "And Bill, you are older, I expected better from you"
"Well, I like to call it borrowing, I mean, I did return it in one piece" Ginny replied, her voice sounding small and childlike. "Stealing usually means that you will never get the item back"
"Boys go to your rooms" Molly told them, and they all stood and left the room. The twins were reluctant to go, wanting to hear their perfect little sister getting into trouble, but Charlie and Percy pushed them through the door into the living room. Ron shot his little sister a sympathetic smile and then disappeared with the others. Bill stood silently, and began to creep out of the room. "William, not you!"
Bill knew it was bad, his mother only called him William when he was in serious trouble. Taking a deep breath, Bill sat at the table beside his sister. Ginny looked angry at him, and he really didn't blame her for it.
"Now, you both stole the car, why?"
"Had a date with a muggle girl." Bill said softly. Molly and Arthur then turned to Ginny, waiting for her excuse.
"Had to rescue a friend" Ginny replied.
"Why didn't you just ask one of us if you could borrow that car?" Arthur asked, Ginny shrugged.
"Would you have let us?" She asked her father. Arthur took a few minutes to think, and then turned back to his children.
"Well, no, umm, but that is not the point" Arthur said.
"I needed the car for an emergency, and remember you told me on the train that you would support me no matter what I thought I had to do? I didn't think that you would have a problem with me borrowing the car for a little while, it is not like a crashed it into a whomping willow like Ron did" Ginny replied.
"How many times did you steal the car Ginny?" Molly asked. Ginny looked at the table top, suddenly very interested in the patterns of the wood. "Ginny" she prompted again.
"Twice" Ginny replied "But I needed it both times, I couldn't exactly walk around muggle London all day yesterday could I?"
"You were in muggle London?" Molly exclaimed, her hand on her heart as she collapsed into the chair by Arthur. "William, go to you room, we will deal with you later. At the moment I think Virginia has some explaining to do."
Ginny gulped, Her mother just called her Virginia, no one called her that unless it was completely serious. Bill rose from the table and patted her on the shoulder. Although Ginny was still angry with him for telling, she was appreciative of the gesture of encouragement. She looked up at her brother, who shot her a soft smile, before disappearing up the stair to his bedroom, where he was about to be interrogated by the others.
"What has been going on with you lately Ginny? Since you have left school, you have hardly been home. It feels like we have not seen you in a long time. You leave just after breakfast and you come home just before dinner, this is very unlike you. Are we right in saying that you have been spending all of your time with the Malfoy boy?" Arthur asked. Ginny nodded "Ginny, I know that we had that conversation on the train, and I want you to know that what I said then still stands, we trust your judgment, but we need to know that you are safe."
"Dad, I am safe, why would I not be safe?" She asked.
"Dear, what do you do every day, where do you go, what do you and he do together" Molly asked, concern evident in her voice. Ginny knew that her mother would take a while to trust Draco the way her father seemed to. Running her hands through her hair, Ginny sighed.
"I am helping him get out on his own, he never liked it at his father house so I am helping him prepare his house, and then, I am helping him with a few other things that are important to him. Things that are important to me to" Ginny replied. She wanted to make them understand with out giving too much away.
"And what is this thing that is important to the both of you?" Molly asked.
"It is not really my secret to tell....." She hesitated. If it was up to her, she would have explained the whole story about Draco and Jessica and Kayla. She would of explained in detail their plan to get the little girl back. But as she had said, it was not her secret to tell, it was Draco's secret, and she was sure that he would not want Molly and Arthur Weasley knowing all of his personal business.
"You know that you can trust us with anything dear, anything you tell us will not leave this room" Molly replied. Ginny smirked.
"Mum, all six of my brothers are here, nothing is sacred with them. The story would be all over the wizarding world by this afternoon. I cant risk that. I promise that you will find out soon, and when you do, I promise I will explain it to you, but not now, now I cant, and I hope you understand that" Ginny explained carefully, trying not to annoy or worry her parents in any way.
"As long as you think what you are doing is right" Arthur replied. Ginny smiled.
"Dad, I know what I am doing is right! There is no doubt in my mind that what I am doing is right, for both of him and me" Ginny replied.
"We are just glad that you have turned out to be such a mature young woman, what ever you need to do, as long as it is with in the law and your own morals, we will support you as much as we possibly can" Molly agreed, Ginny smiled, and moved to hug both her mother and her father.
"So, I am not in trouble for stealing the car am I?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Draco, are you home?"
By the time Ginny had got away from her parents and her brothers interrogations (Fred and George wanted to know how she had gotten away with out punishment.) and had the opportunity to get out of the house, it was mid afternoon.
She used floo powder to get into his house, which had been hooked up to the network the day before. It was better using the Floo system, because that meant that she would not have to take the car if she wanted to see him now. She had certainly had enough of stealing her fathers car, but it was good to know that it was there if ever they needed it.
"Malfoy, you lazy git, you better not still be asleep!" Ginny yelled though the house, but still she got no reply. After checking all the rooms of the house and not finding him, she returned to the first floor to wait.
"Well, at least I know he is eating" Ginny smiled as she saw the large piles of dirty plates in the sink. One of the promises she had made herself was that she would not end up doing Draco's house work, he needed a friend not a mother. But, she sighed as began to run water into the sink and arrange the dishes, she needed something to do while she waited for him to get home from where ever he was.
Over the last few days, they had managed to do some simple shopping for food and a few other things like plates and cups. They had brought all of the basics, but they knew that in a few days time they would have to go and buy a lot more.
Ginny groaned as she scrubbed the pan that was in the sink. This was almost as bad as a detention with Snape. What ever Draco had made himself for dinner the night before, something that Ginny was sure had at one point at least looked like food, was now caked onto the bottom of the pan. She was almost ready to get out a chisel and break away the crap.
"That is just the way I like my women, with their hands in my sink" A voice said from behind her. Ginny turned, her hands covered in bubbles and a sponge in her hands.
"Is that how Jessica won you heart?" Ginny asked, trying to make it sound like a joke, but it sounded really inconsiderate. If Draco noticed, which she was sure that he had, he didn't say anything.
"No, but now all you have to do is cook for me and clean the toilet, and I think I will just have to marry you" Draco smiled, jumping up on the counter. Ginny smiled, threw the sponge back into the water and scooped up a handful of bubbles, wiping them on his hair.
"Clean your own toilet Malfoy"
Draco laughed, and tried to wipe the dirty bubbles out of his hair. After a while he just took out his wand and did a cleansing spell. "Where were you this morning, I waited until mid day before I got desperately bored"
"I had to explain to my parents why I stole the car, I got a lecture about it as well" Ginny replied.
"Scary" Draco said seriously. Ginny nodded and wiped her hands on a dish towel.
"Very scary, they were even calling me Virginia at one point. When they start doing things like that, you can usually tell that you are in serious, serious trouble." Ginny replied.
"So how long are you grounded for?" he asked, Ginny smiled cheekily.
"I am not, I used the innocent little girl on a moral crusade act to get out of it" Ginny laughed, Draco grinned.
"Well, I am very proud of you" He smiled.
"Where were you this morning?" Ginny asked. Sitting on the bench opposite him. "I expected you to be here when I got here. I didn't think that you had a life with out me"
"I don't really....Is that sad?" He asked rhetorically "Anyway, I went to the ministry of magic"
"Oh, I thought we were going to go together" Ginny said sadly. Draco shrugged.
"I got anxious waiting for you, sorry" Draco replied.
"No, it is ok, I just thought that you would want some one with you?" Ginny replied.
"I don't need you around for everything you know" Draco smiled. "I filled out the paper work, and they said that I definitely have a case. Intentionally ignoring the magical blood of a minor is frowned upon by the ministry."
"That is great to hear" She exclaimed "When do we start in court?"
"Could be as soon as Monday" Draco replied. "They sent the information and a representative to the Warners immediately."
"Monday, that is only four days away" Ginny said, jumping down off of the counter and wringing her hands nervously.
"Don't tell me you have lost faith already" Draco smiled "We can do this"
Ginny took a deep breath, and her faith was restored by his smile. "I know we can"

Yay, it is another chapter done.
In Theory, George is the only one whose name can not be lengthened when in trouble. Charlie (Charles?) Bill (William?) Percy (Percival?) Fred (Fredrick?) Ron (Ronald) and Ginny (Virginia) that makes George the odd one out.
Anyway, I have crazy thoughts, ignore that.
Reviews rock, reviewers rock more.
Ginny sat up quickly, her heart was beating dangerously in her chest, cold sweat coated her body. She was scared to open her eyes, scared on what the light would show her. Her greatest fear was that she would open her eyes, and she would still be trapped in her nightmare.
