"Johni flert knort," Draco said to the women. They went outside and Draco
sat down by Ginny's 'bed'. "Finally I found you," Draco said. "I've been
searching high and low for you."
"What? Where am I? What happened? Why are you here?" Ginny asked Draco, but way too fast.
"Wow, slow down, babe," Draco said, putting his hands in front of his in defence. "loll down." Draco placed a hand on the small of her back and on the back of her head and helped her lie down. "Dumbledore sent me to look for you."
"You've said a sentence and I'm already confused," Ginny shook her head.
"OK, let me start from the beginning. Just chill," Draco explained. "Remember your last Transfiguration lesson?" Ginny nodded. "Well, you went back in time by a time turner. The hourglass thing that you had round your neck," Draco added after seeing the confused expression on Ginny's face. "You came here and the time turner got left behind for some reason. So, Dumbledore sent me to find you. I'm meant to get you back." Draco scratched the back of his neck. "But, unfortunately, my time turner broke." They both sighed. "So, until we find another way to get back, we'll have to stay here.
"So, I'm guessing we're with Indians right now?" Ginny asked. Draco nodded. "Do you have your wand?"
"Yup. And so do you," Draco got out Ginny's wand from his pocket. Ginny sighed and looked at her hands. While doing so, she noticed the clothes she was wearing. She was also wearing deer skin clothes. It was a dress that reminded her strongly on the muggle video, Pochahontas. Her dress barely reached her knees and had feathers hanging from the bottom and it was sleeveless. There were blue printings on it. A feather on fire.
"What's up with these clothes?" Ginny asked with her eyes narrowed.
"Well, they're adopting you. Like they adopted me," Draco explained. "They named you Dornasenage."
"What's that mean?" Ginny's eyes widened in curiosity.
"Red Hurricane." Ginny burst out laughing. She was literally rolling around on the floor with laughter.
After Ginny's little outburst of laughter, she asked him what his name was, still giggling. "Khakinake. It means cold as ice. I'm quite fond of it," he explained.
"Why Red Hurricane?" Ginny asked.
"Because when Ghortilaki saw you spinning in the air and the wind around you, they thought it was appropriate." Ginny cracked again.

Draco left the tent pleased with himself. He'd never made anyone laugh so hard. Of course, she had asked him what her Indian name was, but it still made him happy. He had changed since his fifth year, after his dad died of cancer. It was a muggle illness of some sort. He was seventeen now and a man. He could make his own decisions. He was more kind and sympathetic now, although no one had noticed. He used his coldness for defence, not to attack.
It was a warm evening and it had started to et dark. The half moon was shining and a few stars were brightly coming to view.
"Cold as ice! You are the only one who knows Yeungese," said Gortilaki, Blue Bear, to Draco as he caught up with him. Yeungese was the Indians' word for English. "You must teach the girl."
Blue Bear quickly caught up with Draco. They had become friends the last two weeks Draco had been staying there. He had learned their language by a spell cast by Dumbledore. "No need. She already knows it," Draco told Blue Bear.
"How? She only joined us yesterday."
"You know how. I told you my secret and you promised to keep it," Draco answered.
"Oh. Is she a sorceress?" Blue Bear asked once they stopped by a tree where no one ever came. That was their secret talking place.
"Yes. We prefer to call them witches. And I'm a wizard, not a sorcerer," Draco explained and sat down by the tree, leaning against the trunk. "I just need to find a way back."
"Have you tried to contact any other Sor-Witches and Wizards?" Blue Bear asked.
"I don't know any. I probably won't find any. They tend to hide their powers these days. I learnt about it in Muggle Studies," Draco explained. He banged his head against the tree and gave out a groan of pain.
"Don't worry. Us Indians don't mind people like you. In fact, we like to make them healers. We can visit other tribes who may have Sorcerers," Blue Bear said, attempting to comfort Draco.
Draco closed his eyes and thought for a moment when he heard a pleasantly soft voice ring in his ears. He opened his eyes to see Blue Bear gone, replaced by Ginny, who was looking beautiful in her deer skin dress and with bangles and other Indian jewellery. She was sitting next to him, head rested on the tree and she was looking at the sky.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Ginny asked, not taking a glance at him.
"What?" Draco asked her, moving his eyes towards the sky.
"The stars. Aren't they beautiful?" Ginny repeated. "Look, there's Venus." Ginny pointed at a bright distant star.
"Are you OK?" Draco asked Ginny and felt her forehead.
"Fuck you, Malfoy. Why would you care anyway?" WHY!!!!! Why did everyone think he was just like his dad?
"I'm not like my dad, Weasel!!" Draco sat up completely and shouted at her.
"You can prove that by calling me Ginny for starters," Ginny said casually.
"Fine!! I'll prove to you that I'm completely different to what my dad was like!" Draco said a bit louder and harsher than intended.
"OK, Draco." And with that, she stood up and left.
