Loving a Challenge
Chapter 6
Draco stood outside the master bedroom of the Malfoy Manor awaiting news of his new wife. The young Malfoy's concern was obvious, but so was the intense look of guilt across his face. It was his fault she had taken that tumble down the stairs. The only person who dared to approach him had been his beloved mother, who refused to look at him.
"Mr. Malfoy, you may come into the room now, but I must warn you-"
"Out of my way," he said pushing past the dowdy nurse. To his enormous relief Virginia sat in the bed propped up on the pillows. "Ginny, are you-"
"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." He saw the look of hatred in his eyes, condemning him for life. "Your daughter. My daughter. Our daughter."
"Ginny, is our son okay?" he asked fearing the answer. She nodded a look of loathing on her face.
"This is the price you have paid for murder, Draco," she said coldly. "Ron and Hermione's little girl is dead and now your daughter shares the same fate." Draco's insides turned cold and he had to fight the urge to cry. Malfoys do not cry.
"You never wanted the child anyways, why are you upset?" he snapped viciously.
"I wish I never had anything to do with you, Draco Malfoy. I tried to tell you the truth and you threw it in my face," Ginny stated. "I came here to make you care, but you do not even care your daughter is dead. You killed her, murderer."
"I told you before I am a Death Eater. I will never care about you or anything else," he said staring into her eyes. "There is no hope of changing me."
"You shed no tears, I think it is time for me to admit defeat. I knew I could never change you, but I wanted to prove myself so badly. I agree to leave," she admitted.
"Leave? I think not. You are carrying the heir to the Malfoy fortune. You can not return to the Order of the Phoenix for help. You will remain here as my wife," Draco answered smirking slightly. "My son shall be raised as I was. I will not have Potter raise him."
"Harry would never murder. Unlike you who would raise him as a Death Eater."
"He will be raised as a Malfoy," Draco remarked.
"To murder?" she asked passion filling her voice.
"To be proud," he responded with as much feeling as he could.
"I definitely see why I would want to raise my son to be like you. To murder and kidnap, what kind of person are you?" Ginny asked sarcasm heavy in her voice.
"Respected, that is all that matters," he said simply.
"Feared."
"I am powerful," Draco argued wanting to shake her until she stopped defying him.
"You are a servant to a master, nothing more," she said snidely. All she wanted to do was hurt the man who killed her baby. "I hate you."
For a moment there was silence. Then the door flew open and in the doorway stood the Harry Potter.
"Perfect timing hero," Draco remarked casually.
"Ginny, how could you betray us?" he asked panting.
"Harry, I never would forsake the Order. I was forced to marry him, I am pregnant-"
"YOU ARE WHAT?" Ron screamed as he entered behind Harry.
"That's right, Weasley. I raped your little sister and I killed your daughter. What can you do to stop me?" Draco sneered. Without warning Ron punched Malfoy in the face. Harry noticed Ginny lying in bed, with a white gown on.
"What happened to you, Ginny?" he asked worry filling his voice.
"I took a tumble down the stairs. I was going to have twins, but now I lost my daughter. It was all my fault," she cried. Harry scooped her up in his arms.
"I will protect you now, you will never have to worry about Malfoy again," Harry added making Ginny feel useless once again.
"Where do you think you are going with my wife, Potter?" Draco asked recovering from Ron's punch.
"I am saving her from you, Malfoy. I actually love her and care about her," he remarked coolly.
"She is not leaving here, she is carrying my heir," Draco said smirking. Ron, who was in a state of anger, because of Hermione and his daughter's death had reached his limits. He sent a jet of white light at Malfoy. There was a POP.
In his place stood an amazing bouncing ferret.
"That takes care of Malfoy, so let us get going," Ron said as Harry and Ginny looked at him in an impressed and bewildered manner. Ron and Harry led Ginny out of the manor and to a field about a mile behind the house. Ron grabbed an old red shoe and held it out to Ginny.
"It is a port key," Harry explained. He mumbled something and Ginny felt a jerk behind her navel. She hated port keys.

"My lord, Ginny Weasley has escaped," Katie Bell told Voldemort as calmly as she could.
"How?" he asked annoyed by this bad news.
"Potter and her brother managed to rescue her," she answered.
"Where was Malfoy when all this occurred?" he questioned.
"Weasley turned him into a ferret, sir," she responded with obvious amusement.
"If the situation was not so serious, I would find that hilarious," Voldemort conceded. "However, my heir is with Ginny Weasley so she must be found, no matter the cost."
"I have a plan, my lord," she said.
"What is it?"
"It involves George Weasley," she said with a smirk.
A/N: Ginny is rescued! Did you like it? Is anyone even reading this? Would you like Ginny to end up with EVIL Draco, NICE Draco, or Harry. Cast your vote and maybe I will roll with the winner. Love you, KTBallerina.
