Chapter 7: Draco's returned
Neville Longbottom? What the hell was he doing here? If he was here Ginny must still be at Hogwarts. He had to find out and make sure she was okay.
Draco stood up, grabbed his broom, and flew out the closest window near him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco, after a long while of flying, finally saw Hogwarts come into site. Thank god, was all he could think. Neville's body was getting heavy. He had decided when he had left that he wasn't going to leave the Gryffindor's body there, his family had suffered a lot and this was the only thing Draco could think of.
He touched down and because he was impatient, he ran all the way to the entrance, carrying Neville's body in his arms.
The first place he went was the Headmaster's office. "Bubble gum." He walked in, he saw Dumbledore sitting down at his desk.
Draco set Neville on the floor. "Professor?" He waited until Dumbledore looked up to continue. "Neville Longbottom was killed." He paused, he wasn't sure of what else to say.
"Yes, I will contact his grandmother." Dumbledore said not sounding upset, but showing he was upset by the look on his face. "I'm sure she will be grateful for you bring back the body, it will mean a lot to her."
Draco nodded, he had to ask about Ginny, and he couldn't wait any longer. "Is she okay?" He asked knowing the Headmaster would know who he was talking about.
"She is fine, Draco. She's in the hospital wing."
Draco felt his stomach tighten. "Why is she in there?" He really wanted to know, but then again he didn't.
"She's very sick. We're not sure what it is but I'm sure after all the testing Madam Pomfrey has done she will find a cure." He patted Draco on the back.
"Can I see her?"
"No." Dumbledore said as he turned to leave.
"Why not?" Draco asked as he temper raised. Why was Dumbledore telling him he couldn't see her?
"Because she doesn't want to see you. She told me to tell you that."
"Why?"
"Because she said she can't believe you did what you did. She didn't want you to be a Death Eater."
Draco stared at him with disbelief. "But SHE wanted me to do it. She ASKED me to do it. SO now it's my fault. Damn it. She really needs to think things through before she says them. Why didn't she tell me BEFORE I did it?"
"Because she didn't think you were going to do it. She didn't think you would've taken her seriously." Dumbledore answered.
Draco muttered some curse words he hoped Dumbledore didn't hear. "Why did she do this? If she didn't break-up with me because of I wasn't showing her to much love, what was it?" He asked himself.
"Your father." The headmaster answered as he stepped out of the door and walked down the hall.
Draco paused his ranting and turned to the now unoccupied door. He ran after Dumbledore. If Ginny wouldn't talk to him, he would need to find out why from someone else, not that he trusted Dumbledore, but he was the only person who seemed to know what's going on with Ginny. And he wasn't in the mood to see Snape right now. He was afraid Snape would give him a lecture on becoming a Death Eater and Draco didn't really want to hear it, especially not right now.
"Professor, What did you mean when you said my father?" He asked falling into step next to him. He wanted his answers and he wasn't going to leave until he got them.
Dumbledore stopped abruptly and turned to face Draco. "Lucius threatened Ginny, he told her that if she continued your relationship he would kill you."
"So she broke up with me because of that? That's crap, we could've ignored him. I can't believe that was the reason, that's the most stupidest reason I have ever heard."
Dumbledore smiled at Draco's comments. "That's exactly why she didn't tell you why. Because she knew you wouldn't let her, that you would tell her to ignore your father and that you would be fine. But Miss. Weasley didn't want to take that chance, so she didn't tell you and took the problem into her own hands. She now knows that what she did was wrong and she should've told you. But you can't change the past, you can only learn from it."
Draco let everything he had said sink in. He really hated misunderstandings. If only Ginny would've talked to him, they wouldn't have been in this situation. "So if she knows that it was her fault." Draco said with anger. "Why won't she see me?"
"Number one, because she's sick and she doesn't want you to see her when she's helpless. Number two, she doesn't want you to rub it in her face. She knows she made a terrible mistake, she's afraid you will make fun of her."
Draco looked at the floor. When he looked up Dumbledore was gone. He looked around to see where he had gone. How could a man over one hundred and fifty move so fast?
He sighed when he saw the three Gryffindor rejects walk up to him.
Ron glared at him. "So I hear your now a Death Eater."
Draco's arrogant smirk was plastered to his face. "Well I guess news travels fast in this school."
"Are you seriously a Death Eater?" Hermione asked backing away, moving behind Harry.
"Don't sound so surprised. You all knew it was going to happen." Draco pushed Harry aside. "Now if you will move, I have much more important plans then hanging around with Gryffindor's."
"Oh, like trying to find a way to kill me?" Harry asked stepping forward towards Draco.
He grinned. "Please Potter, don't flatter yourself. If I really wanted you dead, you would've been dead."
"Alright then Death Eater, lets go." Harry challenged.
Draco gave him a cold icy stare. "I don't think so. I have prior engagements. I don't have time for you." He turned his back to them and started to walk away.
"I think he's scared." Ron's comment turned Draco back around.
"The day I'm scared of Potter is the day Hell freezes over."
"Then it must be frozen solid." Hermione said glaring at him.
"If you don't keep your mouth shut Mudblood, I'll send you flying out that window." He said gesturing to the window behind Ron.
"Let's go, I challenge you to a Wizards Duel." Harry said pointing his wand at Draco.
"I don't have time for a wizards duel." Draco took out his wand. "So lets end it now." He raised it and pointed it at Harry and said, "Crucio."
Harry fell to the floor screaming.
Draco grinned to himself as he walked off. "Be thankful I didn't do the death curse. I know how much your fan club would die without their leader." He yelled to them.
"You're going to pay for that Malfoy." Ron yelled as he helped a weak Harry to his feet.
"Really? Because if it's going to be you, I don't see that happening any time soon."
Ron turned red.
Draco laughed. He started to head towards the dungeons. It felt so good to be himself again. He needed to be alone. He liked being alone; you don't have to care about anyone but yourself.
Blaise Zabini walked up to Draco as so as he stepped into the Slytherin Common room. "Draco, there you are. Since your single I thought we could, you know go up to the Astronomy tower." She said winking at him.
Draco just looked at her disgusted. "In your dreams Zabini. Now get away from me before I hex you." He said moving past her.
He walked up to the Boys Dormitory and collapsed on his bed.
He didn't need Ginny. He needed to be himself again. She completely changed him. Well he was going to fix that. Old Draco was coming back, much worse.
A/N: Well Review and tell me what you think. ::Looks around for her plot bunny and jumps Draco and grabs it from him:: I need that you jerk. ::looks around and runs off::
A/N: I think this is my shortest chapter. But I personally like this one. Poor Ginny, she's in the hospital wing. ::shakes her head:: Well enjoy and R&R.
