Loving a Challenge
Chapter 5
Ginny was alone and lost in a forest. She heard her family and friends calling her name, but she did not deter from her original path. Then Harry called out to her, she turned and looked at him to see a man with gray eyes and blonde hair standing where Harry had been moments ago. She felt him grab her wrist and pull her close, but then-
"Wake up!" Draco demanded angrily holding her wrist. "You sleep like a rock!" Ginny, who was now awake, realized what was going to take place today. It had been two months since she had discovered she was pregnant with twins.
"You are not suppose to see me today," she said groggily realizing it had all been a dream.
"Says who?" Draco asked as though he had never heard anything so ridiculous in his life. "Anyway, I found someone to act as your maid of honor. She was a Gryffindor back at Hogwarts so at least you will know her." To Ginny's complete astonishment in walked Katie Bell, who had played quidditch with her, Draco left the room.
"Katie, what are you doing here?" Ginny asked shocked.
"What are you doing here? Marrying Malfoy no less?" she shot back her tone cold. Ginny eyes welled up in tears, as she wondered what had happened to the kind-hearted girl she once knew.
"I was captured and raped, now I have to marry Malfoy because I am carrying heirs to the Malfoy fortune and if I refuse he plans to kill my family," Ginny explained hurriedly. Katie's emotions flickered for one moment showing her sympathy for Ginny.
"I am engaged to Cassius Warrington-"
"I always thought George liked you," Ginny said bewildered.
"I think he only wants to be friends, even though I am grateful for that time he saved my life while we were playing quidditch. My parents arranged the marriage, but at least we both love quidditch," she said simply.
"I am glad you are here to be my maid of honor," Ginny said filling the uncomfortable silence, Katie smiled.
"I suppose we will be seeing a lot of each other. Cassius and Draco are quite good friends, I do hope you can come to my own wedding," Katie said happily. The door opened and in popped a house elf named, Sisi.
"Both of you are expected downstairs in five minutes," he squeaked, then vanished. Ginny and Katie hurried to prepare themselves for the wedding, but neither was very enthusiastic. Finally, Ginny pronounced herself ready and exited her prison.
The Ballroom of the Malfoy Manor had never looked as glamorous as today, but Ginny hardly cared. All she knew was she was marrying the man she loathed. Then she remembered her mission to make him care, but somewhere in her heart she knew he had to care. Ginny rubbed her abdomen, twins. Perhaps Draco could care for his own children, like Narcissa. As she joined Draco at the altar she peeked at him throught the corner of her eye. He looked like stone; cold, hard, and impassive. The wizarding ceremony ran smoothly, without any hesitation on either party's part.
Then Draco slipped a beautiful golden ring on her finger, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Etched into the band were a lion and a serpent and the names Draco and Virginia. The ceremony ended shortly with a brief kiss.
"Thank you, Draco," she said quietly as they prepared to meet guests and dance. They stood atop a beautiful staircase in the entry hall of Malfoy Manor.
"For what?" he asked surprised.
"The ring, it is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever owned. I suppose it does not really matter we were forced into this," Ginny said still staring at her wedding ring.
"I am sorry you got dragged into this war-"
"I jumped into this war, make no mistakes about it," Ginny said. "I had a mission to make you care about right and wrong." Draco froze where he stood.
"Everything you said to me was a lie? You never meant all that rubbish about being able to change, you just wanted to complete a mission?" he cried aghast. "I thought you were in.I am such an idiot."
"I meant every word I said, but I am not in love with you," she answered refusing to lie to him. "How could I love you? You kidnapped me, murdered my niece, and raped me!"
"Necessity-"
"Necessity my ass!" Ginny exclaimed. "You could be great, but instead you chose to be power-hungry. I may be stuck in this marriage-"
"One minute ago you said it does not matter!" Draco interrupted. Ginny without thinking flung herself forward to hit Draco, but he was too swift and stepped out of her way. Ginny tumbled down the stairs. And down tumbled Draco's wife and unborn children.
************************************* A picture was thrown down onto the coffee table at 12 Grimmauld Place. It showed Ginny, dressed in wedding attire, kissing Draco Malfoy.
"See proof of what I told you," shouted Harry Potter. "She loves him and has aborted her mission for HIM!" Ron sat there staring at his little sister's picture. There was no denying what was being seen.
"Harry, maybe they love-" Remus Lupin began.
"She was supposed to love me!" he yelled. "She was always there for me, especially when I needed a good smack in the face and now."
"Maybe she is planning, maybe that is how she escaped her prison, by making him believe she loves him. We do not know what she has planned," Remus added eyeing the upset Harry nervously.
"Ron are you listening?" Harry asked. But before Ron could answer a scream was heard.
"What the hell? That was Hermione," Ron said terrified. They all ran to Hermione's room, but they were too late. She was dead, she had turned her wand against herself.

"Dead," she said softly, but loudly enough for the words to scar his soul.
"Who is dead?" Draco asked terrified to hear the answer.
"She is dead, murderer."
