Disclaimer: I'm not saying it again. Look at the first chapter if you want
to read the stupid thing :P. Okay Well R&R please.
Chapter 2: Lucius Malfoy and Arguments
Draco was the happiest he had been in years (He of course hid it, Duh!). He still had his reputation and he still picked on the Gryffindor's. His father hadn't talked to him or owled him in a while. To everyone else he was still Draco.
He had always seen with Ginny around the castle. Draco knew it was getting on Ron's nerves but he enjoyed every minute of watching Ron squirm every time Draco had his arm around Ginny's Shoulder. The only thing he couldn't do anymore was pick on the Weasley's about them being poor because Ginny was one.
He was right now on his way to DADA class when a voice stopped him in the hallway. "Draco!"
Draco knew who it was before he turned around and he had a feeling something bad was going to ruin his already perfect day with Ginny. "Yes father?" Draco said without turning around.
"I need to talk to you now." Lucius Malfoy said dragging his son into an empty room. He pushed Draco up against the wall. "Now what's this I hear about you being seen with a Weasley?"
Draco sighed. He knew something bad was going to happen and here it was. He was in for the lecture of a lifetime. He could just hear what his father would say when he found out that his son wasn't only Ginny's friend but they were dating.
"I want an answer and I want it now boy!" Lucius raised a hand about ready to slap Draco when he yelled, "We're close friends."
Draco knew it was no use to lie to his father because he would eventually find it out sooner or later, and it was better sooner then later because the later it got the worse the beating usually was.
"From what I hear from Parkinson, your more then close friends." Lucius said with a bitterness and disgust in his voice.
"If I tell you or not your still going to hit me so it doesn't matter because you already know. And besides you wouldn't listen to a word I have to say anyway." Then Draco said under his breath, "You never do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco walked into the Potions classroom. He was covered in blood from head to toe. Even his silky blonde hair was dark red. He was right of course, his father hadn't listened to him and he got beat to a bloody pulp anyway.
Ginny gasps as she saw Draco standing in front of her class. All she wanted to do was wrap her arms around him and kiss him better. She noticed he was limping on his left leg.
Draco walked up to Snape and asked if he could talk to him for a brief minute. Snape nodded and walked into the office with Draco.
"Mr. Malfoy, what on earth happened to you?" Snape asked looking from Draco's hair down to Draco's ripped and bloody clothes.
Draco gave his usual arrogant smirk. "Father." He knew he only had to say that one word and Snape would understand. Snape was like the father he never had. To everyone else Snape was a pompous ass jerk, but to him Snape was his savor. He would always go to Snape when he needed help or was in trouble.
Snape nodded.
"I was wondering if I could just go to my common room and think for the rest of the day?" Draco asked trying to block out the pain.
Snape nodded again. He knew not to tell Draco to go up to the Hospital Wing after something like this because if Lucius found out he would just come back and make it worse and there was no reason to make Draco suffer more then he already had.
"Why this time?"
"Parkinson told father that I'm dating Weasley. And that of course, is a disgrace to the Malfoy name." Draco ran his fingers through his bloody hair and wiped the blood on his ripped robes.
"Well why don't you go and take a shower and get something to eat." He suggested. He stood up and walked over to Draco. "Forget about doing any homework you have and just try to relax."
"Alright. Thanks Professor." Draco smiled and walked out of the office and then out of the dungeon doors.
Snape walked back to his students and saw the longing look Ginny Weasley gave at the door when they closed.
Ginny looked up at Snape as if asking if she can go after him.
The look in Snape's eyes told her what she wanted to know and she quickly gathered her books, ink and parchment and ran after Draco.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Draco wait up!" Ginny yelled from behind him.
Draco cursed Snape as he stopped and turned around to face her. "Yes?" He asked with a hint of irritation in is voice but that didn't stop Ginny from coming up and softly kissing him on the cheek.
"Why did he to this to you?" Ginny asked already knowing who did it, just not why. She never had thought about what Lucius would do the Draco if he found out they were a couple.
Draco just stayed silent and started to continue on his way down the hall. He really didn't want to tell Ginny it was because of her, he felt bad and didn't need to feel any worse.
"Why don't you tell me?" Ginny's eyes filled up with tears.
"It was just something stupid and unnecessary. It's nothing of your concern." He said in his usual cold voice.
"Don't pull that crap with me! If something happens to you it is to my concern. No matter what you say." Ginny yelled grabbing his arm and stopping him once again.
Draco looked at her confused. He didn't know Ginny would get so mad if he didn't tell her something. He looked into her eyes and saw sadness and fury. He knew she would be hurt if he told her or if he didn't tell her and he decided it would hurt her less if he just lied to her.
"My father just had a couple of questions and I refused to answer him." Draco answered that at least truthfully.
"What kind of questions?"
Draco sighed he found out he couldn't lie to her so she's just going to have to deal with him not telling her. "Just some questions Gin. Now I have to go take a shower I'll see you later."
Ginny glared at him as he walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny waited twenty minutes outside of the Prefect's bathroom. She wanted to make sure Draco was okay. She wondered why he wouldn't tell her because usually there was nothing he wouldn't. The last couple of months there we're really close friends and when they because boyfriend and girlfriend they became closer, much to her brothers despair. Of course her parents knew she had to tell them, when she did there was an endless argument about it.
She really didn't care what her family thought about her going out with Draco she was not going to stop seeing him because they didn't like him. Ginny just wished her brothers and her family would get to know him before they judged him. He was really a good person when he wasn't hiding behind the smirk of his. Her family was really impossible to deal with sometimes.
She turned and looked up when she heard the door open.
Draco was standing in new robes, and his hair was wet. He was no longer covered in blood but you could still see some of the cuts and bruises on his face and hands.
"Hi." He said pulling her to her feet and off the cold floor.
She smiled and kissed him careful not to touch him where it hurt. "Hi." She pulled away from him and hugged him lightly. "Are you going to be okay?"
Draco nodded and took her hand. "I'll be fine."
"Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey?" Ginny suggested.
"No I'll be okay. I'm not hurt that bad." Draco said leading Ginny to the main floor.
"Draco you're limping! And you say that's not bad." Ginny gave him a look like you've-got-to-be-kidding. "I'm not going to fall for something that stupid Draco." She started to pull him to the Hospital Wing.
Draco pulled her back. "I'm fine, really. I'll be okay. I'll just be a burden to her. I don't want to be any trouble." He kissed the top of her hand.
Ginny's heart melted at the little kiss. She smiled at him. "If you say so." She hugged him again.
"Come on, let's go cause chaos." He laughed as he dragged her toward the school ground outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco and Ginny had had a good rest of the day. They had a picnic outside by the lake, had a pillow fight in the Charms corridor getting them both detention, and played a joke on her brother and his friends.
It looked like nothing was going to mess this day up, until Draco's Eagle owl came over to them and dropped a letter in his lap.
"What is it?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know." Draco opened the letter and it read,
Dear Draco,
Please come home for a couple of days. I really need you right now. I want to see you one last time. I love you, please remember that.
Love your mother
Narcissa
Draco looked at the letter with confusion. What in the world was his mother rambling on about? One last time, what the bloody hell did that mean?
"Does this mean your going home?" Ginny asked.
"I have to. I need to know what she's talking about and I have a bad feeling about this. All I know is if my father did something to her, I'm going to kill him." Draco looked over at Ginny. "You'll be alright when I'm gone, right?"
Ginny smiled. "Of course. I'm more worried about you. I can't stand the fact that you're going back where your father is."
"I'll be fine. I've put up with it all my life. I'll be back as soon as I can." He stood up and pulled Ginny to her feet. "I need to go back and tell Dumbledore I'll be leaving for a couple of days."
"Okay." Ginny stood on her tiptoes and kissed him one last time. "Promise me you'll be careful."
"I promise." Draco yelled as he ran off to the castle.
"I hope he heard me instead of just giving me a false promise." Ginny said to herself as she watched him run off.
A/N: Ha Ha I'm a Genius I got the second chapter out on the next day. Okay well please REVIEW. I want to know how my new chapter went. Thank you.
