Disclaimer: Thanks to my friend Stacy (mysterywriter) I got this idea. So,
hopefully, it isn't too hard to follow. It all belongs to J. K. Rowling,
except the part me and Stacy thought up.

Chapter 15: Waiting for You
Ginny was reluctant to leave Fudge's office, only because she had no where else to go. But, fearing that she might be thrown out, Ginny picked herself up off of the ground and walked out of Fudge's office. She wandered around the ministry building, feeling very lost and very alone.
Draco had always given her such confidence. He filled her with a feeling that no one had before. Whenever she was doubting herself, he'd be there. He was always there...
Ginny's head shot up. A sudden thought had just entered her head, and new hope filled her body. Draco had always been there... Ginny remembered back to when she and Draco had been in the kitchen, discussing the big attack that was going to take place that night. He had wrapped his arms around her and whispered, 'I'll always be right here, waiting for you.'
A light bulb, filled with hope and excitement, went off in Ginny's head. She was probably just kidding herself. But... maybe... what if he was there, at that moment, waiting for her in that very kitchen.
Ginny didn't even give herself time to think the whole thing through. Before she knew it, she was back in front of the Ministry's fire places, and throwing floo powder on the flames.
"The Malfoy Manor." Ginny said clearly. As she tried to distract herself from the spinning, Ginny wondered if she was setting herself up for a big fall. But she quickly shook that thought out of her head. No, Draco would be there. God knows how he'd get there, but he'd be there. He'd never lead Ginny astray.
Ginny appeared in the fire place that was in the Malfoy's parlor. With a hopeful smile, Ginny ran all the way to the kitchen, each foot hitting the floor made her heart beat faster and faster. She turned the corner and was in the doorway of the kitchen.
Ginny stepped into the kitchen, already picturing Draco sitting in one of the chairs, smiling at her. But no one was there. The room was completely empty. Ginny's heart, which had been beating a million miles a minute, suddenly died. She felt hollow and lost. Draco wasn't here, he was in Azkaban. She was just kidding herself. He'd just told her he'd be there to make her feel better. And, besides, that was a long time ago. That was before he knew that she had betrayed him.
With a sigh of sorrow, and fresh tears in her eyes, Ginny turned to leave, not knowing where she'd be going. But a rather solid chest stopped her. She ran straight into it and stumbled backwards, her visions hazed. A strong hand caught her around the waist before she fell too far.
Once Ginny's vision had been cleared, and she could focus again, she looked up at the man in front of her. Draco was still holding onto her, smiling warmly. Ginny tried to take this whole scene in. She made sure that she wasn't seeing things, that her dreams really had come true.
"Oh my God." Ginny whispered, her hand over her mouth. She was crying and shaking badly. Draco pulled her into a hug, letting her know that everything was okay. His strong arms and warm body against hers was the best thing Ginny had ever felt. She felt so safe. Like nothing that had really happened to her had happened. Like she was five years old again, without a care in the world. Draco was the strong man who had lifted all of the worries and horrible memories that had been crushing Ginny into the ground.
Draco hugged her tight, and she melted into his arms. Ginny cried with happiness and joy. Her life was okay now. Everything was okay now. Draco had kept his word and was back.
Once Ginny found her voice, the three words that Ginny didn't even believe existed seemed to be the only thing that described how she felt. "I love you, I love you, I love you." Ginny whispered, still crying uncontrollably.
"I love you too." Draco whispered back, closing his eyes and hugging her tighter. Ginny continued to sob with joy, and buried her face in his neck. Every once in a while, her sobs were broken up with laughter, but she still couldn't stop crying.
"Shhh... shhh.... Ginny, it's okay. I'm here, I'm not going anywhere... shhh, Ginny, please stop crying..." Draco whispered, making Ginny cry even harder.
Once she had calmed down a bit, Draco held her at arms length, smiling warmly and laughing a little.
"Why are you crying?" He asked gently.
"I just can't believe it." Ginny whispered, tears still falling down her face and her voice shaking a little. "I can't believe how lucky I am. After everything that's happened... I can't believe you're here..." She couldn't stop smiling as she talked, and had to fight down the lump that was forming in her throat again.
"I can't believe I'm here either." Draco said. "But I suppose it's all thanks to Salazar Slytherin." Ginny raised an eyebrow, wiping a few tears and looking at Draco with a confused expression. Draco simply held up the necklace Voldemort had given Ginny. The green crystal shimmered in the sunlight.
"Where'd you find that?" Ginny asked.
"Remember when we were on the ground in Dumbledore's office?" Draco asked, Ginny nodded gloomily. She hated remembering that night. "Well, right before Fudge pulled me off of you, I grabbed this-" he shook the necklace a little. "and ripped it off of your neck."
"Hey..." Ginny said with fake disgusted. "Since when did you start stealing from me?"
"Let me finish." Draco said with a smile. "Maybe I should tell you what this necklace does first. When you unscrew this-" Draco pointed to the silver cap that held the crystal to the chain. He twisted it, and it came off, leaving a hollow crystal. "then you can drink what's inside."
"What's inside?" Ginny asked.
"A potion that no one but Salazar Slytherin knew how to make. When you drink it, it makes you more invisible then an invisibility cloak can. No one, not even Dementors, can sense your presence. That's what Voldemort was talking about when he said that this necklace makes the wearer do the impossible. What's more impossible then being able to exist without existing?"
"So that's how you got out of Azkaban." Ginny said, a knowing smile finding it's way onto her face.
"Exactly. " Draco smiled. "I shoved this into my pocket when they were dragging me away, and then drank it this morning. It wears off after a few hours though."
"When will the Ministry find out you escaped?" Ginny asked. She suddenly remembered when she was in Fudge's office. A man had come in saying that there was an escape. If that had been Draco's escape, which Ginny bet it was, they were probably already out searching for him.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about..." Draco said. His face was suddenly grave, and he looked like he would have loved to do anything but say the words he was about to say. "Ginny, maybe it would be best if you just... forgot about me." Ginny's heart stopped. All of the hope and joy that had been bubbling up inside of her was washed away. "It's not safe to know me. It'll just put you in more danger, and I couldn't live with myself if I was the reason you were put in a horrible place like Azkaban."
"Draco..." Ginny said, trying to get all of her thoughts straight. "No, no. I'm not going to do that, I can't. No-"
"Gin-"
"No!" Ginny yelled. "No, Draco, I can't do that. I can't live without you! I don't care about my safety! My life is NOTHING without you!" She was crying again, but this time it wasn't with happiness or with sorrow. It was with terror and desperation. She couldn't imagine anything without Draco. Life wasn't life without him.
"Ginny, I can't let you put yourself in danger for me. I'm not worth it." Draco said. The emotion that was filling Ginny was so strong that Draco had to hold her arms so she wouldn't fall to the ground.
"Please, please don't do this, Draco." Ginny sobbed hysterically. It didn't matter how tight Draco was holding onto her, she was still falling. The thought of life without him was opening the floor beneath her. "Please... I can't live without you..." she sobbed. "I love you... I'll do anything for you to stay... please don't go..." her words were becoming jumbled between the sobs. Ginny would do anything not to go back to how her life felt when Draco was in Azkaban.
Ginny had fallen to the floor and was still crying. Draco sat next to her and wrapped her in a hug. He hated the idea of Ginny risking everything for him, but she didn't seem to want to live any other way. It took Draco so much convincing from himself to even bring up the idea. He couldn't stand to be without Ginny. But he had to decide; which would be a better decision? Living without Ginny, or living with the knowledge that every second with her could be their last? He thought it selfish to put his happiness over Ginny's well-being. But Ginny had opened his eyes. It wasn't his decision to make. Ginny's happiness and her worries for his well-being were also important.
"Please don't leave me." Ginny whispered, closing her eyes tight and praying that he'd change his mind.
"Shhh..." Draco said soothingly. He could feel Ginny relax a little in his arms. Draco couldn't imagine Ginny not being in his arms. Her body against his was what made him complete. Her scent was the only thing he wanted to smell. Her voice was the only one he wanted to hear. She was the only person in the entire world who could love him as much as he loved her. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." He whispered into Ginny's hair.
~*~*~*~ A Year Later ~*~*~*~
"Ginny?" Draco called. He had his head out the kitchen window and was looking out onto the garden. Ginny was crouching down by a patch of dirt, planting a couple of seeds.
Just a few months ago, Ginny and Draco moved into a house that was unplottable (like Hogwarts) and in the middle of a forest. Before this, they had been moving constantly to avoid the Ministry, who are still looking for Draco. The two of them grew their own food, since going to go buy food would increase their chances of being seen.
"Yea?" Ginny asked, standing up and brushing the dirt off of her pants.
"I've gotta show you something." Draco said. Ginny rolled her eyes playfully and walked into the kitchen, seating herself down at the table.
"Look." Draco said happily, putting down a copy of the Daily Prophet and pointing to the headline.
"Awww." Ginny cooed. "How sweet. They're calling you the next Sirius Black."
"I know, I didn't think I was *that* famous." Draco joked.
"Where'd you get this anyway?" Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow and pointing to the newspaper.
"I..." Draco stuttered, knowing he'd have to choose his words carefully. "found it?" Ginny gave a 'do you seriously think I'm *that* stupid' look. Draco sighed in defeat. "I sent one of the owls from the forest to get it."
"Draco!" Ginny yelled, standing up and glaring at him. "You know that's not safe."
"But we're unplottable!" Draco laughed. "Calm down, there's nothing to worry about." He wrapped his arm around Ginny from behind and nuzzled her neck. She smiled, trying as she might to stay mad.
"So, since you put your lives in jeopardy, you get to make breakfast." Ginny said with a smirk.
"Fair enough." Draco shrugged. "hmmm... what shall we have..." he asked. Ginny turned around so that they were facing each other and smiled knowingly at him, her eyes playful. Draco smiled back. "Eggs it is, then."
*********************************END**********************************
Here are my last thank you's for this story. *sob* it's so sad! I'm gonna miss you guys!
~Foags- Sure you can kill Fudge! He deserves it anyways. And, let me tell you, there are going to be a lot of reviewers who will thank you for it.
~Hplova4eva- *sob* I'm gonna miss your in depth reviews! Anyways, thank you for the support, I think I would have cried if your review hadn't read 'good great awesome.'
~sweetstar3- Yes, it was sad. But there was a happy ending! Ya always gotta have happy endings! It's like a rule or something.
~funwriter12321- lol, don't worry, Foags already killed Fudge.
~Compellingold- lol, I'm glad you got so worked up! Sure, it isn't real, but this is the exact reaction I wanted!
~kneh13- Very good! Yes, Draco is the one who escaped. But I bet you didn't think that was how he escaped, did ya?
~Vanyaria Darkshadow- Calm it down a notch. It's okay! Draco's okay! Fudge is-well, he's not dead. But he's not in the picture anymore. Oh, and no matter how much you scream it, I'll still kiss Draco! Heehee, he's a hottie with a body.
~Jocelyn Padoga- Draco got free :) No worries, he's free and is living happily ever after with Ginny!
~SkysTheLimit- you have my permission to kick Fudge's ass. Totally. Nothing against that.
~LilyAndOliver4EVER- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! See, happy Draco! Not dead Draco! There's your birthday present :)
~WeNdY- Thank you. I can't believe I dragged this out into 15 chapters. I hope it wasn't too boring.
~AdrinaRiddle- heehee, thank you! You're too nice to me. I hope you like the ending. You can never go wrong with happily-ever-after, right?
~Strayc@t- Aww, thank you for understanding my crazy school. I think everyone's school's have gone insane too. They just seem to believe that, even though it's not even the end of the quarter, tests and essays should all be due on the same day! Grr, I can't wait till summer.
~faylinn123- Thank you! You're too sweet.
~Lacy1- Very good! He escaped AND they managed to live happily ever after. If only real life were that great...
~Wow- Yep, Draco escaped! And poor Ginny has cried her eyes out far too many times. But it all ended ok, right?
~cute-crazy-chick1- Thank you so much. And I didn't kill Draco! I didn't have the heart too. Poor Ginny's gone through enough.
~Ambrosine- I know, I know. Fudge does deserve to die, but I didn't kill him because then Draco would have nothing to worry about. But I didn't kill Draco, so that's good, right?
~Emily22- haha, yea, save the man! He made you eggs! But, still, how was she suppose to get him out of Azkaban when she can't even get in? I do agree that I made her kind of weak, but what would you do if the only good thing you had left was going to die because of you? I wanted Ginny to go all Rambo on Fudge's ass, but that's too OOC for her.
~Tainted Love1- wow, calm it down there, sweetie. Fudge isn't dead, I'm sorry. But you have my permission to murder him.
~mixed- Read more! I hope you like it. o, and thank you for the praise :)
~loonyluna1- I know, I hate Fudge too. Hey, you know what, I think that you and the other reviewers should just form an angry mob and hunt that dirty bastard down! Power to the readers! Go get your pitchforks and torches and kill the bastard!
~crystaldream1- I killed the Weasleys, Hermione, and Harry because that seemed like a very Lucius thing to do. He was jealous of Ginny for being the Dark Lord, and knew that the only thing that was holding her together was that little ray of hope that told her that maybe, just maybe, she'd see her family and friends again. Just maybe they'd come rescue her... anyways, I'm so happy I converted you to Draco/Ginny shipiness! Well, maybe not converted you, but at least you like the ship now. No, I didn't kill Fudge. But you can put that fork to good use and stab him with it :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO'S READ AND REVIEWED THIS STORY! I'VE NEVER HAD THIS MANY REVIEWS BEFORE, AND I'M ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THIS STORY! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
