Chapter 6: Stake Out
Sinistrophobia is the fear of left-handedness- CNews
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They traveled for another day and night before arriving at the perimeter of Malfoy Manor. Ginny caught Draco gazing at the huge estate with such contempt she felt sorry that she had been treating like he had a disease.
"Well this is it: home-sweet-home," Draco said sarcastically. He turned away to unpack somethings and left her staring at it.
"It's certainly-."
Creepy? Evil looking? Exactly where "scum like me" would come from?" Draco interrupted.
"Big." She finished.
"Yea, well, that too," Draco glared at the massive structure from their stake-out position in the forest surrounding the immense property.
"Draco." Ginny inquired.
She said my name, Draco thought through all his befuddled anger.
".I just wanted to say," Ginny continued. "That I'm sorry for treating you like a disease and that your father obviously taught you to hate me. I hope that we could work around that and still be friends or at least friendly towards each other. After all we are rescuing people we don't want to." Ginny smiled at Draco's surprised expression.
"You don't like them either?"
"Not really," Ginny shook her head. "They ignore me and treat me like a little girl. Did you know Ron tried to stop me from having my first date?! With Seamus- and Harry and Hermione agreed with him! Not that Seamus and I lasted very long." Ginny muttered this last bit.
Silence
The:
"You dated Finnigan?" Draco looked at her incredulously.
"Yea, why?"
"Well he just doesn't seem to fit with your. personality."
"Nope. He didn't even have the nerve to kiss me! Ron (the ass) paid him off! My first and last." Ginny pretended to swoon.
"Good lord this is odd. Me a Malfoy. Getting along with a Weasley."
"I don't even know why I told you all this." Ginny turned red. "I barely know you."
Silence took hold of the small stake out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They were silent for a while; mainly because Draco couldn't think of what to say. Darkness fell and they slept on the ground; a good five feet away from each other of course.
The next morning found Ginny and Draco scanning the grounds of the Manor.
"Any ideas on how to sneak in?" Ginny asked.
Except for the occasional giant snake lazing about, there was not any activity on the outside.
"Nope not a clue, and you?"
"Well since I don't live here- no."
~*~*~
"Well what if we go in the back way?" Ginny asked suddenly.
"The back way?"
"Well," Ginny said thoughtfully. "They wouldn't expect us to come through the back would they?"
Draco stared at her. "That is the worst idea I've ever heard and yet it makes sense oddly enough."
"Good. So lets sneak over 'till we are even with the back of the manor and hop over the wall, make a mad dash and nip inside."
Draco laughed hysterically over this.
"What?" Ginny asked indignantly.
"Yah and on the way over the fence we could surly jump 10 feet. And while dashing to the back through invisible hexes and curses and run into Voldemort's snakes. Sure we'll make it without being seen." And he laughed more.
"Hmph." Ginny frowned. "Well do you have a better way?"
She's pretty when she's angry. Draco thought.
"Yah a much better and safer way."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well that's the chapter- I'm writing the next one as you read this. I hope I don't get writers block.
Oh yes and please read my other story- a bump in the night! And review for it! I want to know what you think of the ending!!!
