Chapter 2: Getting to Know You

Ginny woke to the sound of hushed talking. Two men were whispering, and they mentioned her name. Ginny got up off of the cold stone floor. She looked around and found that she was locked in what looked like a jail cell. Suddenly, one of the men raised his voice.

"Well, looks who decided to wake up and join us." The cold voice said. Ginny turned around and saw Lucius Malfoy, and his son Draco. Lucius was wearing an evil smirk, and Draco seemed to be forcing one. Draco was paler then usual, and looked almost scared. "Hopefully you've already noticed that you have been kidnapped Mrs. Weasley. That is, unless you are as stupid as you look."

"What the hell do you want with me?" Ginny asked, trying to build up her courage.

"You'll find out sooner or later. And don't worry, I promise to tell you everything before you die" Lucius said, flashing the famous Malfoy smirk.

"Bastard." Ginny said under her breath. But Lucius heard it. He pointed his wand at Ginny, mumbled a few words, and ropes shot out of the tip of it. The ropes tied Ginny's hands behind her back. Lucius cast another spell, which pushed Ginny toward him. The two were standing, face to face, the only thing separating them were the steel bars.

Lucius lifted Ginny's chin with his finger, and whispered, "You keep your little mouth shut, and maybe I won't kill you." Then, to Ginny's surprise, Lucius kissed her.

Ginny, completely shocked and disgusted, forced her leg in between the bars, and kneed Lucius in the groin. He quickly recoiled, and swore loudly. Ginny stumbled backwards, and tried to get the taste of Mr. Malfoy out of her mouth.

Lucius straightened up and hissed, "Foolish girl." He then shot a spell at Ginny, making her levitate. Ginny struggled, but couldn't do anything with her hands tied behind her back. "Apologize." Lucius commanded.

"Go fuck a tree." Ginny said, not backing down. But once the last word left her lips, her body slammed down on the ground. There was the sound of breaking bones as she hit the stone floor.

Lucius, ignoring Ginny's hushed whimpers, turned to Draco and said, "I have to go down to the Ministry and sort out some business. You stay down here and watch the girl. Don't forget to use those curses I taught you, just incase she gets out of hand. I'll be back at ten tonight." And with a swish of his robe, Lucius was gone. Draco turned immediately to Ginny. He unlocked the jail door, and walked toward her. She was sitting against the wall, her unbroken leg to her chest, and her head turned away from Draco. She was breathing deeply, trying to hold back her tears.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked, trying not to sound too concerned.

"Go away." Ginny said simply.

"Your legs probably broken. Let me fix it." Draco offered. "Then I won't have to listen to you cry all day." He added quickly, trying to act like he didn't care.

Ginny turned her head to look at Draco. "I'm not crying." She said as a tear ran down her cheek. Draco pulled out his wand and pointed it at her leg. "Really, I'm fine." Ginny whispered, not really wanting him to listen. Within seconds, Ginny's leg felt better. "Thanks." She mumbled, drying her eyes. Draco smiled, then turned to walk out of the cell.

"Wait." Ginny said, not wanting him to leave. "Why am I here?" Draco turned back around, and sat down next to her.

"It's a long story." Draco sighed. "Okay, our fathers don't get along."

"I was already aware of that, but go on." Ginny interrupted, smiling when Draco looked annoyed at her.

"Did you see what was written in the newspaper? Your dad said that my father was a Death Eater." Draco started.

"No he didn't." Ginny interrupted again.

"I know. But that is what Rita Seeker does, she writes things that aren't true."

"So your dad got mad."

"Yeah. So-"

"So he kidnapped me to get revenge."

"Do you want to tell the story?" Draco asked, looking irritated.

Ginny smiled and said, "No, that's all I know. You may continue."

"Okay, my father said-"

"Why do you always call him 'father'?" Ginny asked with an innocent face.

"Because that what I call him." Draco said quickly. "Anyway-"

"But 'father' is so formal."

Draco sighed, knowing that Ginny wouldn't shut up until he told her the truth. "I call him father because it's respectful."

"But don't you two have a good enough relationship to be friends?"

"No." Draco said shortly.

"Oh," Ginny said, wishing that she hadn't touched this topic. "you can continue with your story."

"Thank you. My father is mad because he doesn't want people to know that he is a Death Eater. So, to get back at what he thinks your dad said, my father took his only daughter."

"And what is going to do to me?" Ginny asked, fearing the answer.

"Kill you." Draco said sadly.

"Oh."

"It's low, even for a Slytherin."
