A/N: hey, thanks for the review. I just wanted to warn you all that I might
keep disappearing once in a while because (instead of keeping me grounded
like other parents do) my mum has decided that if I disobey her I will not
be allowed to write my story for two weeks. So if I disappear then, y'all
know the reason. Also, there will be a lot of OOC (out of character, for
all of you who is new to fanfics and don't know). Hope you don't mind.
Note to Miserylilwench: I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry, I know I promised to write a sex scene but this stuff needs to come first. Sorry, It'll be in the next chapter, I promise.
Fairytale-ish
Possessions and possessive people
Harry and Draco slid down into the garden next to the wall of the palace. They ran to the venus fountain in the center. It was the rondervouz point for the gang.
The only thing they saw was the shiny head of red hair, which reflected vividly in the light of the moon.
"Ron!" Draco called out.
"Draco, the others have left with their own groups." The three ran to the edge of the garden. Before they pushed through the secret trapdoor, Ron realized something.
"Draco, Where's my sister?"
"You said they all left." Draco replied.
"No, all of the other groups have left, ours had not."
Then they heard the footsteps of a dozen guards coming their way. The three kneeled down behind a bush.
"They're coming," Harry turned to look at Ron. "We have to go."
"What about my sister??!!"
"Ron, Harry's right, we have to go, if we don't all is lost." Draco said in a calm voice.
"But she could still be in there." Ron said as he started to walk back to find his sister.
Draco and Harry both grabbed Ron's wrist and pulled him back down.
"If we go now and get caught now, then everyone will be in danger. And if Ginny is still in there, there will be no one to save her. There's only three of us and hundreds of them, we need to retreat. I promise I won't leave her behind." Ron looked at Draco, he was right. Ron sighed sadly before they quietly move through the secret trap door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The gang met in the forbidden forest that night. They were deciding on what was to be done. Draco had just told everyone what Prince Neville and Princess Cho was doing.
"They've captured her! Draco, we must save Ginny, and fast. Who knows what these foul creatures will do to her."
"Yes, we will." Draco patted Ron on the back. "We shall approach the palace before sunset." Draco looked at Ron, through his black mask his eyes shone with concern. Ginny is like his sister too.
"She'll be alright Ron. " Draco said reassuringly.
Then the two big and stupid looking thief walked. In front of them was Hermione Granger.
"Ah, Miss Granger, so glad you could join us." Hermione rolled her eyes. "I asked for your presence here in order to apologise for my past accusations. It has dawned on me that you were indeed honest when you claim that you're family was innocent. Please forgive me."
Hermione looked at him suspiciously. She looked at Prince Harry, he was looking at her pleadingly. "I forgive you."
"I thank you for your forgiveness, another reason I asked you to join us today is to ask for your assistance in a serious matter." Typical, Hermione thought as she rolled her eyes. Draco dismissed that and continued.
Draco repeated to her all that they have found out during their confrontation at the palace. Hermione tried to keep a straight face to hide her shock.
"So what do you want me to do?" She asked after he was finished.
"We need you to go to King Severus to persuade him to help us. We need an army in order to defeat an army. Please send this to him." Draco handed a letter to Hermione. "This will explain our situation here." The girl accepted the letter before walking away. She will leave for Slytherin tonight.
The meeting ended shortly after Hermione left. They didn't have any ideas for tomorrow's rescue attempt yet. They won't try to do a full-scale attack until King Severus's army came to back them up. Harry ran after Draco who was already ahead.
As Harry ran after him, he tripped on a root. Before he fell, the prince grabbed on to the nearest object to prevent his fall. Unfortunately, it was Ron. They both stumbled to the ground and Ron's sack fell open, spilling it's content.
"Sorry," Harry said as he quickly helps him to gather his things. Them he noticed a very shiny and sparkling object. He grabbed it and took a look.
"The holy ointment! Ron do you know what this is??!!" Harry said excitedly.
Ron looked a bit worried, he was never caught stealing before. " Um... not really, I just saw it in the palace and thought the bottle looked expensive. Sorry I took it" He looked back again to the bottle, lined with lacy gold patterns and encrusted with rubies. There was a pale yellowish liquid inside.
Harry's eyes were happily sparkling like emeralds. "Ron, this is the holy ointment. It's one of the most important elements in the crowning ceremony. In order to be crowned the person must first be blessed with this ointment. Without it, Neville can't be crowned. They would need to find another bottle which can only be obtained from the churches of Siberia (A/N: don't ask, I have no idea where this came from.) It would take weeks, maybe even months to obtain it. This is brilliant Ron, you've just bought us a load of time. Thanks Ron."
Ron smiled brightly, "No problem." He replied, not knowing what else to say.
"I must tell Draco this." He said and he continued to run towards his lover.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mean while at the Aurum Leoninus de Palace.
"How could you let this happen?" Princess Cho yelled. The sinister couple was alone in the dining hall.
"I know not how this happened Princess. You were the one who said that the Dragon will most definitely have killed my insolent brother."
"Are you blaming ME for this?" She screamed.
"No Cho, it's just that... how were we suppose to know that my brother was desperate enough to whore himself to the thief, become his bitch and then join him in attacking us."
"I don't know, he's your brother." Cho screamed.
"You used to be his fiancé, you know him well too."
"Apparently not well enough. And why did the guards not know they were here."
"Harry must have helped them through secret passage ways, he's an expert in finding his way into and out of the castle unnoticed. He used to play in them when he was younger, the bastard!"
"Yes, and now we've lost an important ally in our conquest. Fudge is very useful to our plan. And then you let them get away again."
"Well, What's done is done, there's nothing we can do a bout it now except to eliminate the problem. In a few days, I will become King and you will be my queen and my first order would be to kill the meddlesome thief, imagine, first day on the job and already I would have captured the culprit that everyone had feared, it will be great for my image. And since everyone thought Prince Harry was already dead, no one will accuse me of killing him."
"What if they interfere in the ceremony?" Cho asked.
Before the question was answered a knock was heard.
"Come in" Neville said.
A guard rushed into the room. He bowed to the prince before stating.
"The holy ointment...It's gone!"
The Prince and Princess' face contorted into that of anger. Neville took hold of the guard by the neck.
"How could this happen?" He yelled.
"The thieves... they took. It."
Neville's hold on the guard's neck tightened.
"What??!!"
The guard started to struggle before the prince dropped him on the floor. Neville dismissed him and he ran out of the room.
"Unbelievable!" Neville screamed.
"Why do we need it? Can't we just do without," Cho asked, she didn't know very much about Griffindor traditions.
"No, the people are too superstitious, they won't accept me as king without it."
"Can't we get another one."
"That would take weeks."
"Well, what are we supposed to do." A cold rush of panic ran over Neville as heat of anger rushed through Cho.
Then suddenly, something, resembling a great black cat (with red head) gracefully dropped from the ceiling, landing gracefully on two feet covered in black boots, black cloak pooled around them. The creature slowly stood up. The black cloak covered most of its form, but not enough that they can't tell that this night creature is beautiful. Her face was covered with a mask and her long red hair was tied into a knot. She was clearly one of the thieves. Before Neville and Cho could say anything, she speaks.
"It appears you have a problem." She said smoothly.
Cho put a hand over Neville's mouth before he could scream for the guards.
"What do you want?" she asked the thief.
"Me?" the girl looked thoughtful for a few seconds "Well, you know, what girls usually want in life... a man who loves me, a nice home, some money..."
"I meant what do you want from us?" Cho screamed.
The girl smiled mischievously, she enjoyed annoying people. It was an addiction she secretly picked up after Draco.
"What I want is part of what you want," she stated, the smile still on her masked face, remembering the methods of negotiation which Draco had taught her years before, he never even thought she could use it to get rid of him.
"Cut to the chase!" The princess snapped, she had played these games before and is very tired of it.
"I want to make a deal." Ginny replied shortly.
"What do you want and what do I get?"
" I know how much you needed that ointment that my brother has taken. I'm willing to get it back for you. For a little something in return that is."
" Name you're price." The Princess said coldly.
"Well, I'm not really asking for a price. More like a favour. You see have this infatuation with Prince Harry."
"Well, what do you expect us to do about it?"
"Well, as you know, Prince Harry is currently... unavailable." Neville snorted. Ginny ignored him and continued. " I want you to eliminate the obstruction of my desire."
"So you want us to help you kill the Dragon."
"Exactly"
"Why don't you do this yourself?"
"Because I don't want the whole gang to turn against me. And I also want your confirmation that Harry will not be harmed."
"I'm afraid I can't do that, he'll come after me." It was the first time Prince Neville spoke to the girl.
"Don't worry, I have that covered. After you kill Dragon, I will, with a potion I bought from the witches, erase all of his memory. He won't be able to remember anything, that way, he'll be all mine."
They couple thought about this for a few minutes before both replied "deal".
Ginny nodded before walking away and disappearing from their site into the night.

A/N So how was that? I made this chapter a bit longer. I hope you like it. Anyway, please review.
