Chapter Four

"Arthur!" Molly ran to her husband as he Apparated into their front lawn after a long day at work. "Arthur, it's true!"

"What's true?" Arthur asked, thoroughly confused. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes! There's something wrong with our daughter. It's just like she said...She's not beautiful anymore."

"That can't be right." Arthur said, walking quickly into the house.

Molly was right behind him. "It is true. She showed me, Ron told me."

"Virginia!" Arthur called, "Come down here and say hello to me!"

A few seconds later, Ginny's footsteps were heard running down the stairs. Her face broke out into a large smile when she reached the foot of the stairs and saw her father standing in the kitchen.

"Molly, she looks just the same." Arthur whispered to his wife as Ginny ran towards him.

"It's good to see you, Dad." Ginny said happily, running into Arthur's arms.

"You're looking beautiful as always, Ginny." Arthur sighed, "You're growing up so fast."

"Don't call me beautiful, Daddy...You don't have to lie."

"But you are."

Ginny sighed. "Not to everyone else," She said, "The boys at school are no longer attracted to me. I don't know what's going on."

Arthur smiled comfortingly. "School aged boys can be very shy. I'm sure that they're still attracted to you...even more so than before."

"I don't know. I'm very worried about it." Ginny admitted.

"Arthur," Molly said, "Maybe we should go down to Diagon Alley tomorrow and...Do an experiment."

Arthur turned to his wife. "You want me to parade my daughter around Diagon Alley and ask random men if they find her attractive."

"Yes, exactly."

"All right. That could work."

"Well, Draco, I looked through every potion book I have and there is no counter potion." Narcissa sighed and sat on one of the couches.

"Well of course not, Mother. Don't you think I already looked a hundred times?" Draco was angry, of course. He couldn't get his mind off of Ginny since they left the train station.

"Don't worry....There is a way to fix this."

"There is? How? Tell me."

"I know a witch who makes her own potions, with her own ingredients. She has all sorts of potions that are in no books. She has to have one that will fix you."

Draco smiled. "I have to go get it!" He jumped up and walked to their fireplace. "Where does she live?" He asked, picking up some Floo Powder.

"No no no no no. She's not connected to the Floo Network. She's a barbaric witch, really. I'll have to Apparate to her, get the potion, and deliver it to you when she's done." Narcissa told him.

Draco groaned. "How long will it take?" He asked.

"It depends on what the ingredients are. If they're easy to obtain then it should only be a day or two. But if she needs very specific items, then it could be a few weeks."

"Weeks? I can't wait weeks!" Draco yelled, "I'm suffering!"

"Well you're going to have to be patient," Narcissa said, standing up and taking her wand out of her robes, "I'll be in touch with you in the next day or two."

With that Narcissa Apparated out of Malfoy Manor. Draco sighed and dropped the Floo Powder back into the bucket next to the fireplace. Then he walked over to the couch, sat back down, and let his thoughts drift back to Ginny for the umpteenth time that day.
