A/N: I'd just like to apologize for taking so long for writing the conclusion. I was busy with school and my other story. But those really are just excuses. I got sick of this story and since I hate it when authors don't finish there stories I was determined to finish this. Thank you for all of the reviews also. Anyways I don't own Harry Potter and co. They belong to J.K Rowling and the Warner Bros and probably some other companies. Anyways please tell me what you think.

Ginny stared at her reflection in the mirror with a frown. She didn't like what she saw. Her skin was to pale, her hair was too red and her eyes were still a little puffy. "That's what I get for crying," she muttered bitterly under her breath. She smoothed out a wrinkle in her loose cream- colored pants and sighed before turning around and leaving her bedroom.

She moved into the kitchen only to see the mess she let accumulate over the last couple of days. "I can't let this get to me.I mean it's not the end of the world. It's not even the end of anyone's life." She straightened her shoulders with determination and opened her refrigerator door and pulled out a bowl of fruit salad.

She waved her wand at the bowl and muttered a few words: "vitrum tegere", and a clear covering appeared over the bowl. "At least this time I won't show up covered in food." She paused, "Why am I talking to myself?" she asked puzzled. She shrugged before moving out of the kitchen and continued out of her apartment.

The elevator ride down was unremarkable. She ignored the flirty looks of a couple of teenage wizards- who were wearing far to big robes- and for once paid attention to the horrible soft music that could be heard from the pour speaker system. 'Stupid soft rock,' she thought with distaste. She paid little interest to the boys leaving on a lower floor and only had to wait a few moments before the ding of the elevator reaching the main floor. She exited the small metal compartment with relief.

"Hello Miss Weasley, how are you today?" Frank greeted her cheerfully. He held the door open for her with courtesy.

"I'm fine, thank you. How about yourself?" she replied automatically as she stepped outside into the bright sunshine.

"Same old same old. Have a good day." He tipped his hat before turning his back to her.

Ginny glanced around to make sure no one was watching before she apparated.

The door of the Burrow was flung open before the red headed woman could raise her hand to knock. She was bustled inside with a rush of cheerful chatter, back slapping, and curious questions. Ginny just smiled at the familiarity of it all.

"Hello Mum, everything alright?" Ginny said conversationally as she kissed her mother on her cheek.

The older woman sighed as she heard an explosion coming from the kitchen. "It's the same as always. Why don't you put your salad outside dear? I'm sure your brothers will be thrilled to see you again." Mrs. Weasley replied as she pushed her daughter out of the kitchen and into the back yard.

Ginny was ambushed with hugs and her hands were soon free of her offering, or at least that's what she thought of it since she was still standing on her feet when the twins ran off with it.

Seamus walked over to her and draped a friendly arm across her shoulders. "Nice to see you again Gin. I can't wait to start working with you." A slightly fuming Ron interrupted him but he kept his arm around her nonetheless.

Draco fumed from the shadows as he watched that no good over-grown blonde freak manhandle his Ginny. He flicked a glance around noticing the other dark shadows clustered inside the hedge. He smirked knowing full well that the gnomes would be seeking vengeance on the inconsiderate people who wreaked their homes.

'I have to get Ginny away from all of these fools before the attack. I don't care what happens, I won't let her get hurt again,' he thought a little desperately. His head jerked up as he heard someone yell her name.

"Hey Ginny, why don't you go get some lemonade?"

"Fine I'll go you lazy pigs. Just remember that this is the last time I help you avoid doing something," she shot back. She walked towards him with a glass pitcher in her hands. Draco's breath hitched and prepared himself for action. He let her enter the house and then the attack started.

Screams pierced the air as the men wearing black cloaks burst out from every imaginable place. From the hedges, from the ground and even from the air the Death Eaters burst into action. Draco could hear feet pounding from inside the house and saw the back door burst open. He grabbed Ginny's arm and dragged her back into the shadows with his hand securely placed over her mouth.

"Don't move and don't make any noise until I say you can. Is that clear?" he hissed into her ear. She froze but she nodded her agreement. He allowed her to slowly turn around and her eyes widened with disbelief before narrowing with cold furry. "Remember, not a word!"

Draco quickly settled her more securely into his arms before he disapparating with a loud *pop* that wasn't noticed.

When they reappeared they were standing next to a stream in a small little clearing in a forest. Ginny listened intently for a moment before struggling out of the arms of her captor.

"Why did you do that? Haven't you done enough to me already? Why did you have to save me?" She yelled at the blonde in black robes.

He looked at her sadly but raised his hands hopelessly. "What else could I do?"

"You could've left me with the ones I love. I could have helped them!" she yelled at him, her anguish clearly present in her voice.

"No you couldn't have! They are all dead!" he spat out with distaste.

"You should've left me to die then," her voice quivered with sorrow.

"I couldn't," he whispered harshly. "I couldn't let any harm come to you again."

Ginny raised her head reveling her tear stained face. "But why? What possibly harm could come to me if I was dead?"

Draco ignored the first question and raised his hand to wipe away some of her tears with a gently caress. "The Dark Lord wanted you for some reason. I.I couldn't let that happen," he answered brokenly.

Ginny just stared at him blankly before her legs started to collapse. Draco stepped forward and her head snapped back to meet the hard muscle of his chest. "Oh God.please don't let that happen," she sobbed.

Draco looked puzzled but pressed a reassuring kiss to her bowed head and muttered his apologies and his love into her hair. With once last glance around he disapparated again and they were never seen again.

The End
