Summary: It's Ginny's 6th year and everyone keeps treating her like a child. She'd rather die than be driven insane.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. But rest assured Tom Felton will be mine soon my pretties! (*mad hysterical cackling*)

A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to update! I've been writing another story, so it's been taking up a lot of my time. When this one ends, read my new one kay?! Well we last left Ginny on her way to Malfoy Manor. What is going on now?

Chapter 13: Save Me

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting in the common room. None of them were saying a word. Colin and Jane walked through the portrait hole on the way to Colin's dorm. Jane gave Harry and Ron a death glare until she disappeared into the stair case.
"Ron, maybe you should apologize." Hermione said quietly.
"Are you mad?!" He screamed. "I'm only trying to protect her."
"Ronald Weasley you better stop snapping at me or you'll need protection!" Hermione yelled. She tutted, turned on her heel and stomped all the way to her dorm room slamming the door in the end. Ron and Harry glanced at each other then muttered:
"Women."
Draco sat on his bed feeling thoroughly depressed. They had finally become friends after his interminable attempts to speak to her. Now, she was angry. Again. At least now, her brother would follow her around and she would be safe. But when Draco fell asleep, he didn't see his father's owl Judas drop him a letter.
THE NEXT DAY
Jane awoke and looked at Ginny's bed. It was dressed so she figured Ginny had woken up already. 'That's weird.' Jane thought. 'Ginny usually sleeps in on Saturday's.' Jane showered, dressed, and met Colin in the common room. They went down to breakfast and saw Ron, Hermione, and Harry sitting at a table chatting. Jane threw them a dirty look and sat away from them.
"Have you seen Ginny 'round?" Jane asked.
"No." Colin answered.
"Can you ask them?" She pleaded. Colin knew she was angry with Ron and Harry so he did.
"Have you seen Ginny 'round?"
"No." Ron replied sadly. "I'm only looking out for her. If you see her, tell her I said that."
"I will." Colin promised. He felt sorry for Ron. He was only trying to help.
When Draco woke up, it was to see Judas sleeping in Hercules' cage. He looked on his desk and sitting there, was a black envelope with silver writing. 'Oh crap.' He thought as he ripped it open. It read:
"Draco-
Well, the time has come. I have the Weasley girl. Pity. She is quite nice looking. To bad you will have to kill her. Once you receive the dark mark, you must kill her. I left a portkey for you in the library. A book called: Verta the Vindictive. It will bring you straight to the manor, where your initiation will take place. See you soon, my son.
-Lucius."
Draco felt his heart drop into his stomach, instant panic and sickness taking over him. Tomorrow night? Why so soon? It wasn't even Christmas yet! And Ginny. He couldn't possibly kill her. Damn. This meant he needed Gryffindors. Ugh. The Gleesome Threesome to be exact. He wondered if they noticed her disappearance yet.
"Have you seen Ginny?" Ron asked Colin and Jane at dinner. They shook their heads and Ron began to worry. Then, he spotted the bane of his existence, Draco, sitting at the Slytherin table all alone. Something inside of Ron snapped, and he decided to make his way over.
"Ron, Ron don't do anything stupid!" Hermione cried.
"Where is my sister?" Ron screamed at Draco. Draco ignored the question as if Ron hadn't spoken, and continued eating. Ron grabbed Draco by the collar and roared: "Where is she?!"
"My father has her." Draco mumbled.
"I beg your pardon?" Harry asked.
"My father has her." He said clearly.
A loud crack emitted into the air. Ron had released Draco's shirt and punched him in the face. Draco was sprawled on the floor but didn't bother to get up.
"When can we get her?" Ron asked through gritted teeth.
"Tomorrow night. At my initiation." Draco replied.
"Tomorrow night?! By tomorrow night she could be-."
"He won't kill her. He can't." Draco interrupted.
"Why not?" Ron asked.
"Because I have to."
"Initiation." Harry cut in. "Death Eat-."
"Yes." Draco answered.
"If she dies Malfoy, you will too." Ron hissed. He walked away. Harry and Hermione followed.
"Ennervate." Lucius yawned. Ginny awoke on the floor, in a large circular room, with a magnificent canopy bed with black silk sheets, and satin curtains. There was a large fire, but the room was still cold. She looked up to see Lucius standing over her, with the Malfoy smirk in place. "Awake my dear?" He smiled. It was a bored toothless one. (*as in not showing teeth.*)
"Obviously." She answered sitting up. Remembering who she was talking to, she quieted at once.
"I bet you're wondering where you are." Lucius started. Ginny remained quiet. "You are in Malfoy Manner. This will probably be the only time in your life you see luxury like this. Enjoy it while it lasts."
"I don't think so. I've got a bed and a fireplace at home thanks." Ginny retorted. She bit her tongue and shut up. Lucius looked taken aback but then he spoke.
"A witty one are we? It's a shame you have to die really." The he smirked.
"D-d-die?" Ginny stammered.
"Yes my dear. You didn't think I was going to keep filth like you in my house for company did you?"
"I maybe filth, Mr. Malfoy, but you are scum." Lucius walked over to her and kicked her in the stomach. While she was doubled over, Lucius grabbed her hair and bent her neck so far back it began to ache. He bent down to whisper in her ear.
"Once you are dead, your entire family is next. Then my family, will be able to kill mudbloods, and muggle- loving fools, like you. Just think." He paused. "You'll finally be first in something. What a shame though, you are so very pretty." Ginny began started to cry. Lucius wiped a tear from her cheek, and licked his finger. "Mmm. Salt and spice." He smirked again. Draco will enjoy killing you."
Ginny was already angry. Her chronic tendency to hold anger in was gone now. "Don't you worry." She said. "My father will make sure you're in Azkaban snogging dementors!" Lucius stopped abruptly and scudded back to her cowering form. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at her. "Crucio!" he yelled. Ginny's body tensed up and she began to scream in agony.
"No stop!" She yelled.
"Beg." Lucius laughed. He was reveling in her misery, but Ginny would not beg. She tried. She kept telling herself to hold on.
"Please stop." She squeaked. She was almost inured, when all of a sudden the pain had gone. She was breathing hard and Lucius cackled then left the room. Ginny sat up and just gazed into the fireplace. Everyone tried to warn her. Even Draco. But her stupid autonomic pride was large and taking over. So large that it had become her Death Warrant. Ginny started thinking of things she never got to do. Have children, visit a muggle home, even visit America! And she began to laugh hysterically. The chuckles and sobs mixed together, to make an ineffable sound. When she quieted she sat head tucked into her knees and said: "Save me. Anyone."
