Ginny woke up to find Draco kneeling beside her. She bolted up and looked around. She was in her room but Draco and Snape were now in there, too.
"Are you alright, Ginny?" asked Snape. Ginny wanted to nod and say her life was perfect, but Draco's glare made her spill. "Why did you faint?"
"You cannot be a deatheater! You could get such great jobs with your intelligence and skill! And you threw away your life to serve some guy who thinks the world should revolve around him! You're nuts! And no, I am not fine," she said.
"You do not know the pressure I was under, Ginny," Draco said icily.
"Who cares? It isn't that hard to say no!" Ginny argued.
"You do not know what I had to bear when I declined the first time," Draco said as he walked towards her angrily. He placed his arms each on one side of her and looked her in the eye. "You would never last a day with my father," he said. Ginny lowered her head. It was true; he probably did have a lot of pressure on him, especially if he declined the first time.
"How do I know you won't hex me or kill me in the middle of the night?" asked Ginny suspiciously.
"Because I do not go killing for no reason like others," Draco replied.
"Now, you two stop bickering! And why are you not fine?" asked Snape.
Ginny gingerly pulled up her shirt to reveal her scar.
"How did you get this?" asked Snape.
And Ginny told him everything she had told Draco, everything.
"How long has this been happening?" asked Snape.
"Since I was three. The first time was the scar on my lower abdomen," Ginny replied warily. Then she looked at Draco, hoping for him to spill, but he stayed silent.
"We must find a way to end this. You said they come at night, right? Well, you will be spending your nighttimes in my room from now on. Get your things and move into my room." Snape said. Ginny looked up at Draco and he looked away.
"Thank you," Ginny said as she started to pack. Snape got up and left the room to floo Dumbledore.
"You had your chance! Why didn't you tell?" asked Ginny.
"Because there is nothing he can do! Even if I get to stay in his room, my father will find another way!" Draco said.
"But Snape will figure something out!" Ginny argued and Snape walked in again.
"Draco, I already know. But it would've been easier on me if you had told me and if I didn't have to witness it myself. That goes for you too, Ginny." Snape said as he sat down on Ginny's bed.
"You were the mysterious figure when my dad and brother came in!" exclaimed
Ginny.
"Yes, I was. And Albus knew this all the time. You four were put under my care so that I could help solve your problems. So Draco, you will be spending the nights in my room, too. I will floo Albus and see what he has to say about all this. In the meantime, Ginny, don't tell Potter. He has enough on his mind." Then Snape finally got out and headed upstairs to his room.
"Well, that was easy!" Ginny said as she continued to pack. But she couldn't help but notice the grave look on Draco's face.
"How is he going
to stop my father by keeping me in a room with my father's enemy's daughter?"
asked Draco. "He'll end up beating me even more for even staying in the same
room with you!"
"Snape knows what he's doing. Give him a break." And Ginny continued to pack. Draco left to his room to do the same.
Dinner was silent. Everyone had their own problems to worry about, except for Colin. He was just as happy as ever, and this was getting Draco mad. So Ginny calmed Colin down a bit and they continued the meal. Snape left and Ginny and Draco followed to hear what Dumbledore had to say about all this. Colin left to play in his room and study because he had failed a few of the tests, and Harry headed up to his room to meet with his horrid nightmares.
"So, what did Dumbledore say?" asked Ginny excitedly.
"He said there is a way where your parents and brother cannot disturb you
anymore," Snape said. "You two must connect each other with a bond. This bond
allows you to transfer pain from one to the other. And it allows one person to
know when the other is in trouble or hurt. It will be very useful," Snape said.
Ginny and Draco's facial expressions showed interest now.
"Fine," Ginny and Draco said at the same time.
"Excellent. Now let me go get the items needed," Snape said as he got up and made his way out of the room, leaving Ginny and Draco behind to talk.
"They get along just like when they were little," Dumbledore said from the fire. Snape looked around startled.
"Hello, Albus. I was just gathering items for the bond. They've agreed to do it. What do you mean by they get along just like they were little?" Snape asked.
"One can learn so much if they only open up their eyes," with that last bit of wisdom, he disappeared.
"Evil riddles," Snape muttered under his breath as he continued to look for the items. But the line rung in his head bold and clear.
