Chapter Twenty

Draco ran down the hall, his breath coming only with great strain. God, he had to hurry. He pushed his tired body to move faster on a hidden energy preserve. He finally arrived at the bathroom huffing and puffing.

He quickly opened the door and stepped in. And the scene before him stopped him in his tracks.

Ginny was slowly walking towards a hole that had once been covered by a sink. When she turned towards him she whispered, "No Draco, please go back." But her eyes were begging him to come closer. He ran to her, but before he could get to her a wall stopped him.

"Ginny, what the hell are you doing, get your cute little ass over here!" He called. He saw her trying to turn towards him, but something was stopping her. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, wetting her black cloak.

"Just go away!"

Draco shook his head and pushed against the wall. It was strong, but no doubt crossed his mind that he could not break through it.

"Don't move." He called.  He took out his wand but an unexplainable wind wrenched the wand from his firm grip.

"Holy Shit!" He exclaimed.

"GO!" Ginny screamed at him. She was beautiful when she was angry.

Her cheeks were flushed beautifully, her hair was streaming every which way, and even the tears streaming down her cheeks had a diamond-like splendor and shine. As he studied her she visibly broke down under his gaze.

"Please?" She whispered, her anger completely leaving her.

"No way in heaven or hell am I leaving you here." He muttered, still his gaze did not waver.

"Care to explain what is going on?" He questioned.

"I don't know." She answered truthfully.

"Its ok." He remarked quietly. God, he wanted to reach through the wall and brush her tears from her cheeks. He ran and slammed himself against the wall. Again and again he threw himself against the wall.

"It's ok!" He assured Ginny again.

"No its not!"

Ginny and Draco turned towards the voice. It came from Moaning Myrtle.

"You're never going to get out now!" Moaning Myrtle taunted.

"Why do you say that?" Ginny asked softly. The ghost laughed.

"Because he'll never let you go!"

"Who won't let us go?" Draco asked confused.

"The one who has shared this bathroom with me for years, the one who visits and watches."

"Do you know how we can get out?" Ginny asked.

"Of course!" Myrtle exclaimed.

"Will you help us?" Draco asked eagerly.

"But…He'll be mad, and…well…he'll never come back to me!"

"But we will come back to you!" Ginny assured her, sweat beaded on her brow, her eyes shone with pain.

"Please Myrtle, we won't forget you ever."

The ghost looked over to Ginny, after a few minutes of studying her the ghost appeared to have finally decided that Ginny was telling the truth.

"Fine, but only if you promise!"

"We swear." Draco replied for the both of them.

Myrtle nodded and floated up to the ceiling.

She started muttering something in a very strange language that neither Ginny nor Draco could categorize. All of a sudden a blinding light shown out of Myrtle, the fall of the barrier was felt in the air.  As soon and Myrtle stopped muttering Draco strode to Ginny and picked her up and cuddled her close in his arms.

"Thank you Myrtle!" He called as he ran out of the door.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold between the bathroom and the hallway he felt Ginny withering in pain in his arms. She began to quietly whimper.

"Are you ok?" Draco asked stupidly, of course she was not ok!  God! Her consciousness was declining as he spoke.

She moaned in his arms and turned her head so her face was buried in his shirt.

Draco cursed and began to run once more. He arrived at the great hall after what seemed like countless days of running at a painfully slow pace. The faster he ran the more Ginny suffered.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?" Draco screamed as he burst through the doors. He gently laid Ginny on a bed and tenderly kissed her cheek.

"Dumbledore, get over here and the pain go away!" Draco ordered. He readied himself to have to forcefully move the headmaster towards the woman he loved.

But the old man rushed over with such speed that even the other professors could not imagine where it came from.

The old man sighed when he saw her.

"I've seen this curse placed on her before. I had hoped that she would never have to suffer from it again." The old man muttered.

"Can you stop it?" Draco asked impatiently. He did not care what the curse was; he knew it was one of the unforgivable curses, or a branch of an unforgivable curse.

Dumbledore sadly shook his head.

"She will not die, but I can not stop the pain." The old man added when he saw the look of worry pass over Draco's face.

"When will it stop?" Draco asked.

"There is no way to predict the future Draco, you can only prepare yourself for the worst." A voice sounded from behind them.

Draco turned and looked into Snape's eyes.

"I don't think that Professor Trelawney would agree." Draco stated dryly.

"She does not agree with anything with a reasonable air to it."  Snape retorted. Draco turned away, unaffected by the attempts of Snape.

How could he laugh when Ginny was in such pain?

Sighing Draco kneeled by Ginny's bed. He picked a book off the floor.

Curses and Counter curses by: Professor Vindictus Viridian.

He knew that it would not help to read the stupid book, but he began to page through it anyway.

He flipped back to a page that looked less diminishing then the rest and was surprised to find that he could not find the page. New information kept appearing once he turned the page.

"Bloody hell! What's wrong with the book?" Draco exclaimed. He dropped it and stared at Ginny.

God, he was losing it. Bursting out into speech when no one was around, almost talking to himself.

Little Weasley was changing him.

He smiled at the thought. It did not seem so bad.

After his Fourth year he was not the same. Potter disappearing and later returning with the Hufflepuffs body was a hard thing to take. He knew the second he heard about it that he no longer shared the dream of the dark lord rising. The death hit to close to home for his liking. That was when he realized that he was nothing like his father. Thank God for that realization. Thank God.
