Title: Let Go
Summary: This is a post-Hogwarts fic. Harry and Ginny are together, but what happens when Harry does something that will change Ginny's life forever? And where does that oh-so-sexy Slytherin Draco Malfoy fit in to all of this???
CHAPTER TWO...WOOT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny looked all around her, there were big bright lights. It was night-time in New York City, she was dazzled. Having taken Muggle Studies she knew all about the large television screens above her. 'I need a place to stay.' she thought. She would have been a little scared if she hadn't been so amazed at everything. She had heard her dad speak of the American Ministry of Magic, which resided in New York City. She knew that they must have a bank. She walked on the streets until she saw a black door and faded sign that everyone else just passed by.
She entered the door, which led to a pub called Starry Wand's. It looked much more civilized and aristocratic then the Leaky Cauldron and especially the Hog's Head. "Hello Miss, I am Wendy, how can I help you?"
"You wouldn't happen to have an Inn here or anything would you, I just arrived here today from England, and I don't know anything about America yet."
"Well welcome to the land of oppurtunity!" Wendy said brightly. "Yes, this is an inn and pub as well, just like The Leaky Cauldron, I know Tom...he's an excellant bar-tender."
"Yes, he is, I agree." "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know of any job openings around here would you?"
"Yes, infact we are hiring here, we have a new manager and he fired some of the less reliable employees, he's young though..and he is British as well, in fact you might know him."
"What's his name?"
"Draco Malfoy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Burrow:
"Ron, Fred, George!" Mrs. Weasley called from the bottom of the stairs.
"What mum?" they chorused.
"Have you seen your sister?"
"No." They all chorused again.
Mrs. Weasley walked up the flight of stairs to Ginny's room and knocked on the door. "Ginny dear, are you in there, I know you must feel bad after you broke up with Harry, Ginny please let me in." She knocked on the door again, and turned the door knob, it was locked. "Oh Merlin's beard, Ginny don't make me have to magic the door open." Still no answer. "Ok then, Alohamora." Mrs. Weasley was surprized to find the room empty. 'Now where could she be?' she asked herself. She looked on her bed and found this note:
Dear Everyone,
I'm off to find myself, be back when I do.
Love,
Ginny
It was short and to the point, but that still gave no clue as to where Ginny might be. The Weasleys had no idea that she fancied a trip to America, or that she needed to do soul searching. Mrs. Weasley broke into tears and collapsed on Ginny's bed.
"Mum, what's wrong?" Ron said as he entered the room.
"Your...your sis...sister's....left" she said as she handed the note to him.
"Where could she be?" Ron said totally shocked that she would do something like this.
"I...don't...know." Mrs. Weasley said.
"You know what we could do mum, we could send her Goblin, he's a very efficient owl, almost as good as Hedwig, I am sure he would be able to find her wherever she is." Ron said hopefully.
(A/N: Goblin is the new family owl, poor old Errol kicked the bucket, Ginny named him ^_^)
"You're right, Goblin would be able to find her." Mrs. Weasley said tears glistening in her eyes.
"Don't worry mum, we'll get her back."
Mrs. Weasley sat down at Ginny's desk and got some parchment and a quill. The note read as follows:
Dear Ginny,
Where are you? I can't believe you would do such a thing. You know we love you. Harry loves you too. Please come back home. You can find yourself here. Please I beg you, come back home. Where are you? And let me ask you this, wherever you are, how are you to pay for yourself, you haven't a job, you have no food. None of your brothers would have ever done anything like this. Please come home.
Love,
Mum
Mrs. Weasley hastily scribbled Ginny on top of the folded letter and told Goblin to find Ginny wherever she might be.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She got out of town
On a railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway
There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late
(chorus)
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to please you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You can turn yourself around
And come on home
I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
They don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss
(chorus)
Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For God's sake turn around
