Summary: The Order wishes to break down Voldemort's defenses, but the only way to do that is to defeat Draco Malfoy. How can you defeat a dragon? Is anyone up to the challenge? Is Harry Potter's true love, Ginny Weasley up to it?

Loving a Challenge

Chapter 2

Ginny Weasley woke up wrapped in silk sheets, she suddenly sat up this was obviously not her bed. Looking around she realized this was not her room, it was far too luxurious to belong to the Weasleys. She hurriedly tried to open the door and windows, but neither would budge. When she attempted to break the window nothing happened. Her eyes settled on a pale faced man seated in the leather armchair.

"So, you are the girl Harry Potter has fallen in love with, little Weasley," drawled Draco Malfoy. His sneer widened as she realized her captor's identity. "I always knew you held some sort f crush on him.

"Why am I here, Malfoy?" she spat angrily. Being kidnapped was not part of her well-organized plan, it gave him the upper hand.

"Simple, we are keeping you here until Harry Potter agrees to surrender and end this little rebellion of his," replied Draco in the tone one talked about the weather.

"Too bad I do not love him and he knows it," Ginny said her eyes gleaming with undisguised hatred. "He is not coming for me, nor anyone else. I was flying solo."

"Imagine what he will do when he finds out you are being kept here, to serve me. What do you think your precious Potter would do then?" he continued as though he had not heard her. There was no way Harry would ever leave her in the hands of Malfoy, no matter the promises the Order had made, he thought.

"Exactly what are you saying?" she asked in petrified voice knowing full well in this realm Draco held all the power, should he chose to exercise it.

"Virginia, I thought you were privy to the Order of the Phoenix meetings. Surely you hear what Death Eaters do to girls as pretty as yourself?" he asked advancing on her slightly.

"Stay away from me. You can not possibly want to do this, Draco. You have to care enough not to-" Ginny said glancing wildly side to side trying to find a means of escape.

"I thought everyone knew Death Eaters do not care about anything," he hissed.

With those as his last words to her he took her. She screamed, but no one came to the rescue, not Harry Potter, not any of her brothers, or even Dumbledore. She cried out in pain, but no one was there to save her, not this time. It was rape.

"So, where is Potter?" Draco asked snidely as he prepared to exit the room.

"I will never tell you," she snapped trying to brush tears away from her eyes. She was ashamed, she hated Malfoy, but she needed to teach him to love. "Harry is ten times the man you will ever be or could hope to-"

SMACK

"Never ever speak to me like that again, Virginia. I own you now, you belong to me," he said still glaring at her. She sat holding her hand on her red cheek.

"I belong to no one, least of all you," she answered shortly. "There are some things that you can not take from people, Draco," she hissed. He looked at her stunned that she had the audacity to talk back to him, but seemed interested as well.

"Like what? What do you have that I can not take from you?" he questioned adding insult to injury. She felt her eyes burn with tears once again.

"My respect, my love, and all those things that truly matter," she said defiantly.

"Did Dumbledore tell you to say that? Did he tell you words could hurt me? Well he is wrong, I do not care about any of those things," Draco answered brushing away the doubts at the edge of his mind. "Only the weak would let their feelings show."

"I care for you, Draco. Not love, but I do care what happens to you," Ginny said in a meek tone that broke away part of Draco's inner defenses.

"No one should care for me," he said quietly. "You should not care about the man, who plans to keep you prisoner until Potter stumbles into his trap."

"A lot of people care about you. Your family, Dumbledore-" she went on trying to get him to open up.

"Do you honestly believe Lucius Malfoy would care fore anybody, especially me?" he asked in a fury. "I do not know what game you intend to play, Virginia, but in this house it is my rules, my game." He stared into her brown eyes wondering where the strength of this girl radiated from.

"I am not playing any sort of game, Draco. If you insist on keeping me here I will say whatever I wish. Once again you can not take away anything I chose not to give you," Ginny said insistently. It was her turn to lock eyes with the dragon. Instead of fighting he left the room smiling, no not smiling smirking. He had a plan that would cripple Virginia Weasley. He would prove he did not care, or have any other emotions either.

"Yes?" hissed Voldemort as his favorite spy entered.

"The Order knows of her disappearance, but they swore not to help her under any circumstances," the young woman said explaining for the Order's lack of involvement.

"I see. Tell me, why have you not aligned yourself with the Death Eaters?" asked Voldemort in cruel tones as though it were an insult.

"I am awaiting the time when I have fulfilled a promise, until then I will serve no other master," she said hesitantly hoping he would not kill her. "I beg you clemency, your Lordship."

"You are forgiven for the time being," he answered. "However, know I am watching you." With a small bow she left leaving Voldemort to consider what sort of promise she must have made to be under bond to another master.
