Disclaimer: I am not going to say this again. OK ok ye s I will. Hey, back off. I said BACK off. Ok, so the characters aint mine. JK owns them. I am just a storyteller that borrowed them, to enrich my life, and the lives of million readers around the world with a bit of my over active imagination. I swear I don't get paid for this. Actually I do. Think of reviews as my pay. And I want many of it. Thank You.
Read this please.

Chapter Five
He's coming!
Ginny stared at the owl standing by the window, her eyes fixed on it, yet she wasn't seeing anything. Her face was drained of all color and her mouth slightly open. Draco turned around and eyed the owl suspiciously. He got up and went to open the window.
"No," Ginny shrieked and launched up to stop Draco.
He looked up at her with suspicion, but he had already opened the window and let the owl in. Hedwig flew into the kitchen and landed on the table next to Ginny, as she sat down. She looked at the owl as if it was a disease, not wanting to go near it. She tried for three years to get away from him, from everybody, but she knew that one day they would. She only wished it was a day, in the distant future, but no, it was today, it was now.
Seeing her confused and yet sad expression, Draco removed the letter from the owl, who was looking at him accusingly. Then it hit him. This was Potter's owl. Oh no, he thought. Not this. She doesn't need this now. Nonetheless he handed the letter to Ginny.
Ginny was reluctant to take it, but she did with shaking hands. She sank into her seat, as she stared at the letter in her hand. Ideas went through her head, emotions playing tug-o-war. Tears were forming in her eyes, as she came up with thousands of possibilities of what the letter could say.
She was sure it was from Harry. His handwriting was scribbled on top of the parchment. It said, Ginny. Ginny's mind went into a overdrive, would he be mad at me for leaving? Would he be sad? Would he still love me? Even after he finds out what I am?
Draco looking at Ginny felt sorry for her. Ginny looked up as he placed a protective hand on her shoulder in a gesture that told her he would be here for her. He didn't need to say it, she read it in his eyes.
"Ginny your shaking." He said.
"I know."
"Are you going to open it?"
"I.. don't know." She looked away, at Hedwig which was looking at her sadly. "I want too, but I am scared."
"There is nothing to be scared off." Draco said and rubbed her shoulder. "I am here for you, ok?" he added reassuring.
Ginny nodded, and with her hands trembling more than ever she unfolded the letter and started to read.
To my Ginny
This is the millionth time I am writing this letter. Where are you? I want you, I need you. I still love you, more than ever. Why did you run, love? Why did you go away? I don't know what it was that made you run, or even consider the idea that I wont help you, but whatever it was, I will, and want to help you. Please, baby, please come back.
With all my love Harry.
Ginny felt near to bursting with sadness. The letter wasn't very long. But it said everything he wanted to say, it felt everything he felt. Pain, anguish, sadness, heartache, loss. It was all there. It was all written in the 5 lines of his letter, weaven into each word, mixed into each sentence.
Then she broke, everything she tried to hide, everything she tried to cover came out. She buried her head into his shoulder as she turned and hugged Draco. He stroke her long red hair.
"It's ok. Everything will be ok. It will." He tried soothing her. "You really love him don't you?" He said, avoiding the glare he was getting from the owl, her amber eyes lighting up.
The last statement sent Ginny into a new set of tears. Yet in between everything she nodded. Hedwig looked pleased. She looked at Ginny.
"But.."
"But what?" Draco enquirered.
"But what will he think of me when he sees what I have become? He would be disgusted. He wouldn't want to see me again. Ever. I can't stand that. I can't."
"Ginny what are you going to do?"
"I am going to run again."
"Ginny you cant run away. You cant. Potter loves you, he always will no matter what you have become. To him you will always be Ginny. That sweet young girl from school who was hoplessly and madly in love with him. He wouldn't care!" he pleaded.
Ginny looked at him, as if not believing him.
"Look. I know is saw it. The way he would look at you, hold you. That was love Ginny, unconditional love that isn't restricted by jobs, or interests. It is a love that forgives no matter what. Don't throw that away Ginny. Please. Don't. I know you. Over the past three years I got to know you. You still love him, I know you do. And this letter shows that he feels the same to you. Go back to him. Explain it all to him. Don't leave." Draco said in a single breath. He stopped to regain his pulse.
"You think so?"
"Yes."
"I'll write to him." Ginny said looking up. Draco tired a weak smile, which was returned by Ginny, although her eyes were red from crying. "I'll write him a letter." She said while getting up. "I'll write to him, and ask him to leave me alone." Draco's mouth hung open. "He must never contact me again, and he mustn't let my family know where I am." and she left the kitchen.
Draco stared after her. Didn't she understand what he just said? Or did she, but didn't want to do it, and pushed it away. He looked at Hedwig and saw admiration in the old owl s eyes. He smiled at her, and the owl let out a happy, pleased hoot.
Draco grabbed a piece of paper, and a pen that was lying on a nearby table, in a neat stack. He began scribbling down a little note. He finished before Ginny came down and folded the little letter and gave it to Hedwig.
"Listen girl, take this letter to Harry, but don't give him Ginny's". The owl gave an agreeing hoot, but a look in the pet's eyes seemed to ask what to do to the other letter. "It accidentally dropped when you were flying," Draco said matter – of –factly Hedwig had an amused look in her large amber eyes when Ginny came in.
It was clear that she had been crying, with her red eyes and flushed cheeks, the color slowly creeping back in. Ginny silently tied a letter to Hedwig\s leg, while the owl was hiding the other letter, the one she was going to actually give to Harry. Ginny petted the owl on the head.
"Take this to Harry, and don't come and find me again. Please." She begged. Hedwig just looked at her and flew out of the open window.
Behind Ginny's back, Draco raised his glass to the good owl, and to new beginnings.
~*~*~*~
Hedwig flew fast over the land, the spells Harry gave her not wearing off yet. As she reached the eastern coast of the USA (California is at the western) she remembered her promise to Draco, and pulled at the string holding Ginny's letter. The next instant the letter started to fall down, carried by the wind. It landed softly on a turf of grass in a park. In Washington DC.
~*~*~*~
Harry looked up at the sky which was as dark as it could get. He was looking for a sign from Hedwig, his owl. As he looked up for the thousandth time his heart leaped into his throat. He saw Hedwig land in front of him, just as his spells wore of. Good, he thought. He was afraid it might of worn off long before she reached England.
Harry launched for the letter and picked it up. It was parchment, it was normal muggle paper, and the ink wasn't from a quill, rather from a ball point muggle pen. Harry unfolded the letter, terrified of what he was going to read, and exited too, that he finally got a letter from Ginny. The first in three years.
~*~*~*~
A man with heavy black boots stepped on the letter lying on the grass. He heard the paper creak and almost tear. He bent down and picked it up, unfolding it to read. His eyes growing large as he read the name at the bottom of the letter.
Ginny Weasley
His mouth twisted into a smile, his mind going over the possibilities of him ever seeing Ginny again. He smiled even wider as he remembered that night. The last night he saw her. Shaking his head he wiped the smile of his face, and ducked under the low hanging branches of an old oak tree that obscured him from common view. Taking out his wand he cast a spell on the paper. It turned into a map of the world. He tapped his wand twice on the place Ginny had wrote her name and the map started to twirl, although the paper stood still.
Then the map turned into that of the United State of America. Then it was of California and eventually Los Angeles.
"This is going to be much easier than I thought," he whispered. He pocketed the map and walked of to his apartment, two rings klinking in his pocket.
~*~*~*~*~
Draco excused himself from Ginny about an hour after Hedwig had left, saying he had some work to tend too. In reality Draco just had to go out and protect Ginny from any potential Death Eaters. He was sure the death Eater from last night had cast a spell on Ginny's essence; her blood was needed for that. And that is why he was taking a bit of her with him.
Draco took some hair and a few other personal items, while Ginny was in the bathroom, to create the illusion that Ginny was actually at his place. This could even fool owls. And he needed Hedwig to deliver Harry's next letter to him. He smiled as he thought of what was written in the letter he sent.
Dear Harry,
I'm so sorry that I haven't contacted you in the past three years, I was scared. I am not completely ready to face anything yet, but if you come to San Francisco, on the 20th of this month, I might be able to meet with you. Please tell my family I am ok, and that I miss then all very much.
Love Ginny.
Yes, that would have to do. Draco winced at the thought of meeting Harry in a week and a half but he would. He would for Ginny. She was his top priority, even if it means to be hexed into space by one Harry Potter. He was going to do what he had to help Ginny. She could be in more danger than ever. And she would need Potter by her side.
IMPORTANT!!!
A/N That is it folks for now. Yep, it is. Ok so the new year is here, and power cuts are more frequent than ever. If I am late it aint my fault. Also I would like to get you r opinion about the man in DC. It is just one of the few things Ginny will have to face, and I a major sub plot (the main plot being Ginny, and her life as call girl, and trying to break free form it with the help of Harry.). You will get more info, in the next chapter about this sub plot. Ok, tell me what you think. If it is to much then tell, me and I will change it. Thanks
Rayssa Radcliffe: Did you know that you are always the first to review my story? Yes it's true. And I love you for it. Thank you sooo much. I am so glad you like this, I truly am sorry that she didn't go back immediately, but it would have finished the story too fast don't you think. Thank you anyway.
Kyo88: I don't now much about tech school's, but it doesn't seem too bad considering my school. I am doidn really bad. First three years, straight A's and then last year, they went to A's, B's and a few C's, now they are either A's, or D's. Especially in Chemistry and Maths. My chem. Teacher is a total freak and moron. He spends more time discussing fish and chips, or how his dog ate his watch, then teaching us. How am I ever going to pass my externals? Well thank you for the review, it means a lot to me.
Courtney: Harry will have a lot to say about the…ehm…situation, believe me. And Draco don't get me started!!! I am glad I am on your favourite list. Do you have any stories are anything? I would love to read them!!!
SeXyChIc: May I enquire how you passed judgment on my sexuality by reading a story? It just completely baffles me.
Duke20104: Yep, I would freak too. Wait, I am a freak. Oh well. The Nc – 17 version isn't quiet complete yet, it's just chapter two (both parts) that are edited at the moment, so if you can just what a teensy weensy bit longer, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Dolphingirl79: Well next, a small sub plot is developing so hold onto your seat readers!!! Thanks.
