Chapter 2: To the Rescue

Her heart was pounding in her chest, her lungs where burning, her legs where aching, she had to stop. Tears where pouring down her face, it was too hard for her to see anymore. Plopping down on the nearest bench, she thought, 'What am I going to do?'. She couldn't go home, not to him, not until he calmed down, but she couldn't go to Harry's or the Burrow either. She, Ginny Weasley, felt alone. She pulled her knees to her chest and began cry quietly.

She was to busy cry that she didn't notice someone standing right in front of her, someone very angry. Putting a hand on her should and squeezing it hard, startled her. She looked up, it was him, Draco Malfoy. His eyes where showing he was very angry. "Get up." he said hoarsely, pulling her to her feet. Trying not to make a scene she followed him. He kept one hand on her right shoulder and the other on her left lower arm.

When they reached the flat he through the door open and pushed her in. When she went to turn around to face him, she felt a hand come clear across her face on her right cheek. A silent tear feel down the burning skin from the slap. Stepping forward and placing his hands on her shoulders, and throwing her against the wall. Picking her up again and pressing her against the wall, leaving bruises where his hand are holding her. "What did I tell you?!", he said spitting in her face. "HUH?! Answer me!" slapping her again, she yelped and began to cry. "ANSWER ME!" "You… you… said...to..to.. nev..never see…. Har… Harry..a..a..again." she said in between sobs. "That's right. I said never. And were you with him last night?" "Yes." she said quietly looking at him in to his eyes. He reached his arm back, she winced when it came down across her face again.

"Now I'll show you what happens when you don't listen to me." grinning, he through her on the floor, and go on top of her. Ripping her pants and knickers off, and unbuttoning his, he began to kiss her. Forcing his tongue in her mouth. "NO DRACO…PLEASE STOP. NOOO!" "What?? Not as good as your little Harry Potter, am I?" " Well then I'll show you different then." She felt a sharp pain inside her. She began to cry as she went numb. She tired to block out any feelings that she was feeling right now.

When he was done he got up buttoned his pants and left, leaving her there, a disheveled hemp on the floor. Still crying she got up and went to the bathroom. She just wanted it to go away, for it all to be gone. Ginny Weasley felt more alone then what she had ever felt before. Sitting there as the water hit her hard, thinking about how Draco was before they moved in together. 'He was never like this to me when we first started to see each other, he was always so kind and gentle, but now he was a monster'. A monster she didn't even know if she loved anymore. 'Maybe I was wrong maybe I don't love him I just thought I did.' 'But who? Someone nice and caring and would never think of doing anything like what Draco does to me. Someone who would protect me, even if I was wrong.'

Starting drifting to sleep, thinking she would rather die and it would be in this shower, then ever be with Draco Malfoy again. She felt someone take her out of the shower and hold her. She didn't know who but she didn't care as long as she felt safe in this man's arms. She finally fell asleep on his chest listening to his heart beating.

After Ginny left, Harry finished the dishes and decided he'd go for a walk to clear his mind up a bit. While walking he noticed a small red head, and a very familiar white blonde head. Trying not to be seen he slowed down a bit, and started to follow them. When he saw them reached was he assumed was their flat, he stop and just sat there and waited. What he was waiting for he didn't really know, but he just thought he would until someone came down.

Waiting there for about 15 minutes, deciding no was coming down anytime soon, he heard it. The screaming. The thug. Not making any hesitations, he pulled out his wand and ran up the stairs to the flat. He passed someone not caring who, just kept running until he reached the flat door. Pushing it open, surprised that the door was unlocked, look around for something to indicate where Ginny was. As he was walked down the hall he saw the light under the door. Holding out his wand just in chase it was Draco, slightly pushing open the door, he saw her.

Ginny, was in the shower still in her clothes, laying there while the shower spray his her. Putting his wand back in his pocket he picked her up and held her. He sat against the tub wall holding her soaking body close to his, making sure the nothing would be able to break his grip around her. 'Draco! Draco was that person, he bumped. Draco did this to her. I will kill him!' still thinking this he slowly, not to wake her up, picked her up put a drying spell on her, held her tight and apparate home.
