Chapter Twenty-two
Ginny had cried till her tears had run dry. Then she got up and once again half heartily looked around the room. Silently she cursed herself for being so bloody stupid. She actually thought she could win against Tom, or whoever had Harry. Sighing Ginny slowly walked around the room for the tenth time. She was terrified, but her heavy heart made her near emotionless. She felt spent, as if she had no more cares in the world.
~Draco's POV~
Draco hurried back to Hogwarts, back to Ginny's side. She lay as still as ever, her skin was as pale as death and her lips seemed to have lost the ruby red color they normally held.
"I knew the consequences Gin, and I did it anyway. I did this for you." He whispered, he gazed longingly at her before tenderly brushing a hand down her soft cheek and then leaving.
Draco walked slowly to Dumbledore, the wise old mad looked first into Draco's eyes and led him into his office.
"You already seem to know." Draco said softly, surveying the old headmaster.
"I know only because of the foreboding look in your eyes." The old man said gently.
"My fate has been sealed, I assume you know already of what will become of me once you inform the Ministry." Draco said carefully.
"Your fate has yet to be sealed, and I doubt that it will ever bee sealed for you, young one. You are foolish in not guessing the other option."
Draco looked at the old headmaster, new understanding alight in his eyes.
"I am very foolish, and I understand now, please, help me. I know you can. Advise me on what to do. A spy is a hard life to live. Do you think I am ready for it?"
Dumbledore nodded in reply.
"I know that you will be able to handle it. A Deatheater is a horrible life. No doubt you already know first hand the effects of such a life. But you forget, Deatheaters hold no hope, for truly evil creatures are immune to hope. You, on the other hand, have many rays in hope, and not just in being a spy."
Draco nodded, fully understanding.
"There is not time like the present, would you take me to the ministries office?" Draco asked. Some of the sadness had been replaced by the hope that lightened his heart, though he still did not feel safe in his decisions. He needed Ginny's opinions. He needed to know what she thought!
~~~~ Ginny's POV~~~~~
Ginny sat on the floor and tried to think. Tried to find a way out of the stupid room she was held captive in.
God help her, she was terribly lonely! Talking to Snape did not seem so bad at the moment! She hoped that somebody noticed that she was missing! Was it that hard to notice? Did anyone even care?
Tears of self-pity slid down her cheeks, soaking her skin as well as her pride. How could she act so weak and selfish when Harry was missing? A voice slid over her, whispering into her ear
"Why are you crying my dear?"
Ginny shivered, it was the same voice that was heard in the bathroom, the same stupid voice that haunted her dreams.
A figure appeared before her, Ginny's vision was blurred from her tears. At least that what she thought, after blinking several times her eyesight still did not clear and she knew it was a dark spell. The blurred black figure leaned towards her, and Ginny back up.
"Get away from me." She said defiantly. The man just laughed
"Stupid girl, why would I obey your orders?"
Ginny had no answer, why would this evil wizard do anything that she asked?
"Because I have asked you to" Ginny said anger evident in her tone.
The man laughed again, he leaned closer and Ginny was hit with a familiar scent. Her mind went in lazy circles. She had been placed under another curse, surprise surprise!
"Why do you want me?" Ginny asked, trying to unnerve the man with the abrupt change in the direction of the conversation they were having, if you could even call it a conversation.
"Because I want you." The man said simply as he leaned even closer.
"Don't touch me." Ginny hissed. The figure laughed and reached out with his hand and roughly pulled her by the hair to have access to her neck.
Ginny tightly closed her eyes and pretended that she did not feel the icy cool of a sharp blade being pressed up against her neck. She pretended that she not feel sick to her stomach. She was so good at pretending that she did not even feel the blade slowing cutting into her skin, she did not even feel the blood pouring down to soak her shirt.
~~~Draco's POV~~~
Draco stood before the highest members of the Ministry. They were sizing him up. Apparently he would hold a very high position if the allowed him to join them. Otherwise he would be sent to Azkaban. The thought of being watched over by hungry Dementors did not sound very appealing. He hoped that the ministry would deem him fit. He was not an agent working against them and if they decided that he was, his fate seemed very unpleasant.
"Why did you join the Deatheaters to begin with?" One burly man asked. Draco glanced at Dumbledore. Maybe he should have talked this over with Dumbledore first.
"I have a friend who is in serious trouble with one of the highest Deatheaters, joining them was the only way to save her." Draco hoped they would restrain from asking questions. They would not understand what he was about to do. It was ancient, long forgotten magic that was no longer used. It was dark magic, very dark. Draco suspected that if they knew what he was planning to do they would stop him.
Before anyone had a chance to say a word Dumbledore stood up.
"As you all know I have a crises on my hands at Hogwarts, I am needed there."
That caught everyone's attention. Dumbledore disappeared with a pop, and Draco, using the powers he was given for becoming a Deatheater blinked and was beside Dumbledore in an instant. Draco smiled at him briefly before rushing over to Ginny. He was astounded by what he saw. Blood was covering her, and she was whimpering, but she still did not wake from her dreams.
