Sorry this chapter took so long but it is hard to type with a cat on your lap, trying to get settled. If you have shorts on I have discovered that this can be very painful... my cats claws are sharp, both of them!!
Hogsmeade
"Hi." Said Ginny sleepily as she walked into the Great Hall for breakfast and sat down.
"Hey" Said Harry and Hermione, Ron had got in a right little tizz about Ginny shouting at him.
She helped herself to a bowl of Cornflakes and started eating slowly. She glanced over to the Slytherin table and saw Draco watching her. They smiled at each other and then Draco looked the other way, talking to Pansy.
When Ginny had finished her breakfast she excused herself from their presence and went back to the common room to get changed.
When she got into her dormitory she found an owl sitting on the bed with a letter in its beak.
She took the letter and the owl immediately flew off through an open window. She read what was on the envolope and recognised the writing to be her dads. What does he want? She thought. She opened up the letter out of curiosity. It read...
Dear Ginny,
Please meet me at The Three Broomsticks at 12.00. I can't tell you what for, just that this is important. Please be there.
Dad.
She didn't know what this meant but she would have to go, whether she wanted to speak to him or not.
When she was ready she grabbed the letter, stuffed it in her bag and ran to meet Draco.
At precisely 10.00 she got to the Entrance Hall and saw Draco looking at her. She smiled and walked over to him, she could not run in stilettos.
They made their way down the front steps, holding hands and Ginny suddenly remembered the letter.
"Draco?"
"Mmmm." He said distantly.
"Will you come with me to the Three Broomsticks at 12.00, my dad wants to see me for something important."
"Yeah, sure. Do you know what it's about?"
"No, the letter didn't say."
"OK."
They got to Hogsmeade around 10.30 because they were walking so slowly. Firstly, they went to Zonkos joke shop, Fred and George hadn't managed to buy their premises yet.
They left at about 11.00 and decided to go for a wander before going to The Three Broomsticks. At about 11.45 they made their way back to The Three Broomsticks.
Before they went inside Ginny turned to Draco and said. "This could get bad, can you sit at the next table please?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll go in a couple of seconds behind as well."
She smiled and kissed him, then went inside.
Draco waited a few seconds and then entered, wondering what he would find. It was fairly empty compared to usual.
He looked over to see where Ginny was and saw her father gesturing towards a seat next to some young blonde woman. He laughed slightly at the look Ginny gave her and she chose to sit right opposite.
Draco went to the bar and got a butterbeer, then went over to the empty table nearest Ginny.
"Who is having what then?" said Mr Weasley happily.
"Butterbeer." Said Ginny bluntly.
"Can I have a butterbeer please." The blonde woman said sweetly.
"Sure, I'll go and get them and you two can start to get to know eachother."
Mr Weasley left to get the drinks in and the blonde woman started talking to Ginny. "So you must be Ginny then?"
"So?"
"I've heard a lot about you."
"So?" she said again.
The blonde woman didn't seem to be picking up on the cold bitterness in Ginnys voice, which he found amusing.
"You're father tells me you are the only girl, is that right?"
"What gives you the right to talk like that to me? I don't even know you but you carry on like we are friends or something. You didn't think I liked you did you? I've never even met you before so why don't you GET OUT OF OUR LIVES? GO ON, JUST GO." By the end of it Ginny was really shouting and almost the whole bar was watching her.
The blonde woman started to cry and got her bag and ran out. Mr Weasley slammed the drinks on the table and made to go after her but she was already gone. He turned back and hissed to Ginny. "Well done. Now look what you've done."
He grabbed his coat and walked out muttering something that sounded like "Stupid girl. Thinks she can ruin my life like that."
"IT WAS YOU WHO RUINED OUR LIVES, DAD." She yelled after him. She was really fuming now and Draco saw that all eyes were on her as if waiting for her next move.
Draco stood up, leaving his butterbeer and went up to Ginny. He hugged her and whispered in her ear. "Everyone's watchin', best get out."
Ginny took notice of this and let Draco lead her out. They were a bit away from the pub when Draco broke the silence. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah," she said. "But not for much longer." She pointed over to the other side of the road. It seemed that Mr Weasley had found his girlfriend and they were having an argument.
"DID YOU HEAR THAT AGGRESSIVE LITTLE BITCH?" she shouted. "I AM NOT LIVING WITH THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME!"
Mr Weasley was about to answer but Ginny found herself dragging Draco over there. "For one, I am NOT an aggressive little bitch, two I WILL NOT live with the family splitting likes of YOU!"
Just then, Fred and George who had almost certainly been buying supplies walked quickly over to see what was going on.
Mr Weasley hadn't noticed Fred and George behind him so he said. "You will do EXACTLY what I say and there is nothing you can do about it.
Fred had finally got wind of what was going on and decided that now would be the right time to intervene. "Oh, but Arthur, she doesn't have to do what you say. The night you left you left all of us, including Ginny. You have no control of her now. She does what she wants..."
George got hold of what was going on now – it was one of his slow days. "...When she wants. Got that?" he said through clenched teeth.
"Don't you dare speak to me like that." He hissed at them both.
"We speak to you..."
"...Arthur..."
"...How we like."
"I'm warning you, boys."
"Oh, George," Fred said sarcastically. "Big, mean, CHEATING BASTARD is warning us."
"Oh, Fred," he said in the same sarcastic tone. "Whatever are we going to do?"
Ginny saw George wink at Fred and pull out his wand and Fred did the same. They nodded at eachother, turned to face Mr Weasley and shouted "STUPEFY." At the same time.
Mr Weasley flew back against an unstable wall and slumped to the floor, blood now everywhere. The blonde woman went to see if he was still alive but before she got to him, Fred and George had turned on her, wands raised.
"If you ever dare talk about, come to think about it, or to my little sister like that, I swear, you WILL pay. Now get lost and never come back. We don't want to EVER lay eyes on you again. GO!"
She went to pick up Arthur but they started saying a spell slowly so she just left.
They lowered their wands and turned to Ginny. "You OK?" They asked in unison.
Ginny nodded her head and stayed silent.
"What was it all about?" Asked George.
"I think they want me to live with them." She said faintly.
"They what?"
"Ginny, are you sure you're OK?" Draco said. None of them had noticed him standing there because they were too involved in the argument.
Ginny nodded her head but Fred and George looked outraged. "What on earth are you doing here, Malfoy?" hissed Fred.
"Leave him, he's with me." Ginny said, swaying on the spot. She just about saw Fred and George look at her and then she fell back.
***
"What did you do to her, Malfoy?" Someone said angrily.
"Nothing, she just started swaying on the spot." She heard the familiar voice say.
"Draco?" she mumbled.
Draco grabbed her hand and said, "Yes, I'm here."
"Where am I?"
"Hospital Wing, your mum's on her way."
"You idiot, Malfoy, don't make her ask questions." Fred said irritably, then said in a softer tone. "Don't talk, Ginny, we don't know what's wrong with you yet."
Just then Madam Pomfrey and Mrs Weasley entered the room. Mrs Weasley looked from Ginny to Draco and gasped, especially when Ginny smiled at him.
She rushed over to Ginny to see if she was alright. When she found nothing wrong with Ginny she looked back at Madam Pomfrey and asked, "What is wrong with her."
"Nothing. There is nothing that could explain this, except perhaps stress or -"
"Right, Malfoy, I don't want you anywhere near my daughter."
"Mum, it's not him." She said, gripping his hand as if she was afraid he would go. "We met dad and his little bitch today, they think I'm going to live with them."
Molly looked slightly put down by this. "So you don't want to then?"
"WHAT?" Ginny sat up so suddenly they all jumped.
"We arranged for you to spend Christmas with them." She said quietly.
"I WILL NOT SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH A CHEATER AND A BITCH. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE CALLED ME."
"You have to go with them, just for Christmas. And don't argue." She added, seeing Ginny's mouth open.
"Now, now Miss Weasley," Madam Pomfrey interrupted, "You need to lay down and get some rest, here drink this."
Ginny took the drink and the room went blurry and then faded altogether.
