Chapter 5: Escape
Draco checked his watch; 5 pm. He still had five more hours till his father got home.
"You ready?" Draco asked Ginny. He was getting his Nimbus 2001 ready, it was what they were going to ride to The Burrow. Draco was checking to make sure it could hold two people.
"Yeah, it's not like I brought anything." Ginny said. "Where are you going to drop me off? I don't want my parents to see you."
"I'll drop you off a block from your house." Draco said, fixing some last minute problems on his broomstick.
"What will I tell them? Should I say that I ran away?" Ginny asked, trying not to get in the way of her busy boyfriend.
"Would they believe you?"
"Probably. It's better then saying I was kidnapped."
"I'm really sorry about that, by the way." Draco said, looking up from his work.
"Don't be, it all turned out okay." Ginny said. She leaned down and kissed Draco, sort of as a thank you.
"Okay," Draco said with a smile, after they broke apart. "let's go. It will take about an hour to get to your house, so I'll be home by seven." Draco said, getting onto his broomstick. Ginny climbed on behind him, and put her hands around his waist.
"Will you write to me?" Ginny asked as they flew above the clouds.
"Everyday." Draco replied.
"But what if someone finds out?" Ginny asked as she rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Don't sign them, and just say that they are from someone else." Draco said, enjoying the warmth he felt from Ginny's body.
The couple talked about everything on their trip to The Burrow. But it all ended too soon. As Draco landed in a field just down the road from the Weasley house, he could feel Ginny's tears on his shoulder.
"Don't cry Ginny." Draco said sympathetically as they got off of the broomstick. "I'll see you soon." He reassured her as he enveloped her in a hug.
"Not soon enough." Ginny said as she sniffed back more tears. Draco comforted her as he rubbed her back.
"School's in a month, that isn't that long. And I'll send you loads of letters." Draco said.
"Yeah, but I wish I could at least talk to you in public." Ginny said, hating the world for being so judgmental.
"I know, me too. But this is better then nothing." Draco said. He glanced at his watch, and reluctantly said, "I better go if I'm going to get home before Lucius."
Ginny pulled back and said, "Okay" as she wiped her eyes on the sleeve on the sweatshirt she was wearing. "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm wearing your sweatshirt. You probably want it back." She said as she started to take off the gray hoodie.
"You keep it." Draco said, knowing that no one would know it had belonged to him.
"Thanks." Ginny said. "I feel like I should give you something." She said as she looked around for something to give him.
"I don't need anything, I'll remember you no matter what." Draco said. Ginny smiled and kissed him gently.
"Take care of yourself Draco." Ginny said sincerely, as she pulled him into a hug.
"You too." Draco whispered. "I love you Ginny."
"I love you too." Ginny said, as a tear slide silently down her cheek. She pulled back reluctantly, knowing that her parents were probably worried. "Bye." She said as she started to walk down the dirt road.
"Goodbye, Love." Draco whispered. He watched Ginny walked down the road, until he couldn't see her anymore. The whole time, telling himself that he would see her soon. But that didn't help, because a tear still escaped from Draco's eye. It glistened in the sunlight as it slipped down Draco's warm face.
Draco finally tore his eyes away from the spot on the horizon were Ginny had disappeared to. He quickly wiped away the single tear that reminded the world that he was human. Draco reminded himself that Ginny loved him, as he kicked off from the ground and started his lonely journey home.
Ginny walked silently down the dusty road that lead to her home. She wiped her face a hundred times, but the tears fell uncontrollably down her face. Ginny reached the front door to her house, and could hear voices from inside.
"Fred?! Go get your brother and clean up the kitchen will you?" Came Mrs. Weasley's voice from behind the door. It was getting louder, like she was walking toward the door. "Arthur?!" Ginny's mother said, as she opened the front door. "Could you-" Mrs. Weasley began, but it was then she spotted Ginny on the doorstep. "Oh my God." Mrs. Weasley whispered as her eyes filled up with tears.
"Molly? What is it?" Mr. Weasley asked as he approached the door. He stopped dead when he spotted his little girl. Mrs. Weasley, finally coming out of the shock of seeing her daughter, wrapped Ginny into a hug.
Mrs. Weasley lead Ginny into the kitchen, the whole time not letting go of her daughter. As if fearing that she was going to lose her daughter again. "I'm so happy you came home honey." Mrs. Weasley whispered into Ginny's ear.
When they came into the kitchen, Ginny was greeted by stares of shock from Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Bill, and Charlie. Her six brothers just sat in their chairs for a second, completely overcome with shock. Then, they all got up at once, and surrounded her with questions, hugs, and tears of joy (mostly from Mrs. Weasley.)
"Gin, where were you?" Ron asked with concern, looking like he hadn't slept in days.
Ginny, finally finding her voice said, "I was-"
"We were so worried." Bill interrupted. "Mom had us out looking for you everywhere."
"Are you hungry dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"No mummy, it's okay. I'm not-"
"Did someone take you in?" Charlie asked.
"Umm, well-"
"Why did you run away?" Ron asked, feeling guilty.
"I was just-"
"Where did you get that sweatshirt?" Fred asked.
"I, umm, I just-"
"Are you tired honey?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Just a little, but I-"
"Of course she's tired." Mrs. Weasley said. "Why don't you go upstairs and rest sweetie."
"Yeah, umm okay." Ginny answered, feeling like she wouldn't be able to explain anything for a while. Ginny hugged everyone, said that she missed them, and headed to bed. As she walked up the stairs, Ginny heard someone call her name.
"Ginny, wait." Ron called as he ran up the stairs after her. "I'm really sorry about what I said before. I've been feeling really guilty, and I feel like that was the reason you ran away." Ron said, looking at the ground.
"Oh, no Ron, it wasn't." Ginny said reassuringly.
"Why did you run away?" Ron asked.
"I just wanted to be on my own for a while." Ginny said. "I was just feed up with being to baby of the family, I didn't want people to try and protect me from everything I need to experience." I wasn't really a lie. Ginny did feel like she was too overprotected.
"I'm so sorry Ginny. I know that I am overprotective of you. But it's what older brothers are suppose to do." Ron said. "But I won't do it anymore, I promise. I'll let you experience life for yourself." Ron said, Ginny pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you Ron." She whispered. Ron, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted, said goodnight to his little sister, and walked back downstairs.
Ginny walked up to her room, and went straight to her desk. She pulled out a piece of parchment, ink, and a quill.
Dear Draco.
