All things Harry Potter belong to the wonderful JK Rowling… :-)
Chapter 12: Malfoy Manor
Draco and Ginny landed on the floor with a loud, hard thud. Blaise Zabini landed elegantly on his two feet. The curses were beginning to wear off and both Ginny and Draco were moving a bit, but stiffly.
Blaise smirked at the pair desperately trying to get up, "It's no use trying, you know… now that we're here at your home, Draco."
Draco glared at the black-haired boy, his eyes icy cold. Ginny's eyes were frantic.
"Your father will be here any minute and I will be marked for my efforts." He crossed his arms proudly across his chest… his head held high.
"Is doing all this worth the mark?!" Draco shouted. "You really have changed… and it's not for the better. I remember how we used to be friends when we were little."
"Ah, but it is you who has changed… you forget how we used to compete for attention and power. And for too long I stood in your shadow at Hogwarts. Now it is my time to finally shine. Yes, you did manage to get the mark before me, but I will have received mine by my own merit… not because of my father's influence."
Draco snarled and tried to push himself up, however he was still too weak and fell back down onto the floor. Blaise just laughed at his efforts.
Ginny was crying now, panic and fear filling her heart to the point where she actually wanted to die rather than face The Dark Lord or the Death-Eaters… or pay back her supposed debt to Blaise Zabini.
Blaise turned his gaze towards the girl, "And you… you have been nothing but trouble since the train back to school. You've been a very difficult target, though I suppose it was worth it… now that I've finally captured you. You still owe me, you know. I'm sure that Draco's father will allow me certain liberties before you are brought before The Dark Lord."
Draco bared his teeth at Blaise's words and immediately crawled in front of Ginny as a wild animal would in order to protect its precious territory. "You will not touch her… you'll have to kill me first."
"That can be arranged…" Blaise was suddenly interrupted by a loud popping sound.
Lucius Malfoy apparated into the room in which the three students were waiting. Calmly and casually, the blond man walked over to where his son and Ginny were slumped on the floor. He smirked at them both.
"I see that you were successful, Mr. Zabini," Lucius began as the dark-haired boy nodded. He then crouched down and looked into his son's eyes, "So, you've been showing some resistance as of late… very unlike you, Draco. I'm rather appalled. And so is The Dark Lord. You can eventually be fully cleared of your recent actions, but that is something to be discussed later… and in private."
Ginny felt as though her breath had left her.
"Now… you realize that such betrayal is not treated lightly. You are lucky that The Dark Lord has agreed to even clear you. However, in the meantime, you must learn what it means to betray The Dark Lord and the Death-Eaters… we are your family, Draco."
Draco's eyes widened at the realization of what was about to happen. He quickly glanced at Ginny, fear in his eyes.
"Crucio!" Lucius shouted.
Draco shouted out in pain and his entire body went into a fit of convulsions. Blaise smiled at the sight of it all.
"Stop it!! Please, stop it!!" Ginny shrieked. She crawled over to where Lucius Malfoy was standing and she desperately tugged at his pant-leg trying to throw him off balance. The effects of the spell suddenly stopped and Draco's shouts of pain ceased.
Lucius kicked Ginny in the shoulder causing her to collapse to the ground.
"Ginny, don't worry about me! Leave her alone!"
Lucius's eyes were wild with the lust for inflicting injury and pain, even if it was on his own son, "Crucio!" he shouted again.
Draco collapsed into another fit of convulsions as he writhed on the floor in pain.
"You see, Draco. This is what happens when a Death-Eater disobeys me and The Dark Lord. You will learn your place and you will remember where your loyalties lie. If you don't, then you will suffer greatly before we end your life for your betrayal!!"
Draco continue to writhe in pain as Ginny laid there limply on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks as she watched the man she loved suffer at the hands of his own father.
Suddenly, Draco's convulsions stopped, however he did not even try to get up. Lucius smirked and had decided that his son had suffered enough… at least for the time being.
"Now, Mr. Zabini, you are to be rewarded for your actions." The blond man turned towards his son suddenly, "You could learn a lot from Mr. Zabini's actions, Draco. Despite your history, he still managed to obey… and he doesn't even bear the mark as of yet."
Blaise grinned evilly. Soon I will!
"Come, Mr. Zabini, we have a ceremony to attend… your initiation ceremony. The Dark Lord is so pleased with you that he has decided to grant you your initiation now as opposed to making you wait until winter break."
Blaise bowed graciously, "I am most humbly grateful Mr. Malfoy… and I am glad that I can be of some service for such a noble cause."
Lucius looked down at Draco and Ginny, "Don't even try to leave the manor… I have wards and enchantments everywhere that will certainly kill you both if you even attempt to leave."
Draco just shut his eyes at his father's words.
At that moment, Lucius Malfoy grabbed a hold of Blaise Zabini's shoulder and the two apparated out of sight.
Draco hoisted himself up and crawled over to Ginny who lay in a heap on the floor.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded, "Yes… you?"
"I'm all right."
Ginny buried her face in Draco's chest, "I can't believe that he did that to you… your own father!!!"
Draco brushed his fingers through her long red tresses, "Shh… must've come as quite a shock for you. Really, it wasn't that surprising. I told you that he slashed open my side so that The Dark Lord could drink from me."
Ginny shuddered, "I guess so… but it's another thing to see him actually do it."
"I know. Try to forget about it."
Ginny looked up into Draco's eyes, "I'm so scared."
Draco frowned and then smiled weakly, "A Gryffindor… afraid?"
Ginny smiled at how he tried to lighten the situation. He then placed his hand on her cheek and gently brushed her tears away. Slowly, he moved towards her and his mouth landed on hers. He kissed her so deeply that she felt her breath leave her body.
His hands made their way underneath her shirt and gently stroked her back. She sighed contentedly at his touch. Only he could send such glorious sensations coursing throughout her entire body. It was magical.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his body closer to hers. He let out a groan as their bodies came into contact with one another. His body was yearning to be joined with hers. Ginny continued to push hard against him… as if she could not get close enough.
Finally, he could no longer stand it. He frantically unzipped her pants and pulled them off and then did the same with his own. He then hoisted her up onto his lap and pressed her body firmly against the wall.
She let out a passionate groan, "Draco…"
With her whispering his name in his ear, he suddenly found a strength within himself and he gently slid her up while holding her against the wall. He remained standing on his knees… their bodies never breaking contact. She wrapped her legs tightly around his body as he thrust himself inside her again and again. His hands grasped at her bottom and she moaned with pleasure.
Draco nibbled on her ear while her fingers became entangled in his white blond hair. Ginny began to pant and let out small gasps.
"Oh Draco… oh Draco!" she screamed.
"Ginny…"
Suddenly, Ginny let out a scream of sheer ecstasy and seconds later so did Draco. She could feel his fluids entering her accepting body… each contraction bringing them deeper and deeper inside of her. She smiled as he hugged her tightly. She kissed his face all over. Could this be the last time?
"I love you, Ginny…"

dragonsprincess ~ Hey there my darling dear! Yes it's true… two ordeals is a lot to handle… you'll definitely have to keep on reading to find out what happens regarding that whole thing! As for Lucius… well, obviously he is a real prick and doesn't give a shit about his son unless it advances his favor with Voldemort… but there is more to come in the next chapter… he is sooo evil! I hope that you liked this chapter (even though it was on the shorter side)… the next one is longer and more action-packed! Please keep on reading and reviewing! :-)

Donna ~ I totally love Draco and Ginny together too… it'll be interesting to see who JK ends up pairing each of them up with, if she does at all… I have this sick feeling that Ginny'll end up with Harry… though my own theories of who Harry should end up with (or not end up with) probably wouldn't go down very well with lots of people. Oh well… Anyhow, I'm glad that you are liking my story! Please continue to read and review!
Ashley ~ I'm glad that you like my story… hopefully you liked this chapter as well! The next one will be coming soon… and there's quite a bit that will be going on in it! So, please keep on reading and reviewing! :-)

Mei Lee ~ Two words… HOLY SHIT!!! I was completely and totally overwhelmed to get ELEVEN reviews from you in just one night!!! Everything that you had to say was just so absolutely encouraging… thank you ever so much!! I'm thrilled that you like me story and I'm very flattered that you've added me to your "favorite authors" list! Thank you so very much for that! Well, I hope that you liked this chapter as much as the others… Hopefully, I'll be posting chapter 13 really soon as well! Be sure to keep reading and reviewing! :-)
annonomousmonkeys ~ Firstly, thank you very much for adding me to your "favorite authors" list… I'm honored! About posting your stories… I say to just go for it… what can you lose? Some people will like it and some people won't… you may or may not get lots of reviews… but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you want to share your writing with others out there… trust me, there will always be someone (even if it's only one person) who just absolutely love what you write and share… and that alone makes it totally worth it. I was absolutely terrified to start posting my own stories… and here I am posting this one along with another. This story has totally taken off and my other one has only sorta-kinda taken off (hopefully once I post more chapters, people will understand where its going and leave more reviews)… and that's ok… I'm just happy to be sharing my stories with people. What kind of stories are you writing?? If you'd like, I could edit them for you, if it would make you feel more comfortable about posting and such… but that's up to you… send me an e-mail, etc.! :-)
devoted2draco ~ Thanks for the compliments… I'm glad you like my story!! I hope that you liked this chapter… yeah, short and sweet (and don't forget the D/G interactions… heehee)… but the next one is longer and has more action! Continue to read and review!
evieteen ~ Well, you have an idea as to what lies in store for our favorite couple… but the finer details have yet to be relayed! Things will hopefully be picking up even more with the next chapter! Please keep on reading and reviewing!!
Lady Obsidian ~ Thank you thank you for adding me to your "favorite authors" list!! :-) Yes… those D/G interactions are quite nice… aren't they! I hope that you liked the one in this chapter!! Continue reading and reviewing!!
Jade Summers ~ YOU ARE MY 150TH REVIEWER!! *gives you many many hugs!* How was this for updating quickly??? :-) Anyway, I'm totally thrilled to pieces that you love my story! Please keep on reading and reviewing!!
A special thanks is extended to annonomousmonkeys, Mei Lee and Lady Obsidian for adding me to their "favorite authors" list (*many hugs to you all*)!
Again I'd like to re-iterate… I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy what I write… Also remember that more and longer reviews means that I'll be more likely to post another chapter quickly!!! :-)
