Disclaimer: I forgot to do one of these before, but you should know that all the characters are jkr's and not mine!
Last time on this story, Ginny found out that she was an angel and was sent to protect none other than Draco Malfoy himself. How will he react? Let's see!
"um.......well.......you"
"Me?"
"umm.......yes"
"oh"
Draco didn't say anymore than that. He was shocked. Why him? He knew that if an angel was sent to help him then that was a bad thing. It meant that someone was going to do everything they could to kill him. Probably the same person that had killed her. His own father.
He hated his father anyway; he was always horrible to him and everybody else. He always beat him up and called him nasty things and was constantly trying to make him become a deatheater. Draco had just assumed that his father had been killed, even though they hadn't found his body, but now he knew he was out there, waiting for him.
Draco cried. He'd never cried before. He'd never been allowed to cry before. He just stood there and cried.
Ginny got up and walked over to him and hugged him. He cried on her shoulder. They just stood in the library, with the sun rising, holding onto each other, crying.
And that's how Hermione found them. She had come in to see if Ginny had worked it out yet. It was obvious that she had. She just stood at the side watching them. It was quite sweet really. Even if it was Malfoy. He had changed. Like Snape. They weren't quite as mean or horrible anymore. It was like they had been living in a false person and all the emotion they had just need to pour out.
Hermione didn't want to interrupt them so she left in silence. Neither of the two knew that she had come in and neither of them knew that they were hovering about 3 feet off the ground.
When Malfoy stopped crying, Ginny pulled away and held onto his shoulders, looking into his eyes. He looked back.
"You do know Draco, that I will do everything I can to save you, and you most certainly will not die. I'm certain of it." Draco smiled gratefully.
They stayed like that for a while before Draco looked down. He was so surprised that they were not on the floor that he fell and landed in a heap on the floor. Ginny held out a hand, Draco took hold of it and she helped him back up. She gave him one last hug before they went to breakfast.
Ginny didn't mind the fact that she no longer had to eat. She liked sitting at the table, watching everyone else. The table, which is what they called it, was just one of the house tables, in the middle of the great hall, fewer people meant fewer places.
Ginny sat next to Draco and Fred. Fred and Charlie had decided to stay and help re-build the school. Draco had normally just sat by himself, not talking to anyone, just staring at his food. It was odd for a Malfoy to have nothing to say. Draco didn't want to be a Malfoy though. He might've done when he was younger, but not now, not after his father. It was a dirty name.
Draco hadn't told Ginny about his father, he didn't want to tell anyone, but somehow she seemed to already know. It was like she could read his mind, see his thoughts, it scared him slightly. But he wasn't afraid when he was with her. She made him brave. She gave him strength.
Ginny found it odd at first when she met the 'new' Draco. He was alright and not at all like she imagined he'd be. She found it strange how sometimes she didn't need to ask him questions, she just somehow 'knew' the answer. She was getting used to it though. It was weird at first but now it was quite cool.
"I think we should have a snowball fight!" announced Ron after dinner one evening. it was nearly Christmas and it had been snowing heavily.
"I think that that's a great idea!" said Fred. He hadn't been having a very good time since 'the day' as he'd never really done anything without his twin.
"I say girls against boys," said Charlie, who was standing with them.
"And I say you're on!" said Ginny. She found that she had a way with snow. When she had been outside a couple of days earlier, walking in the snow, she found she could control it with her mind.
They all went outside. It was Ron, Fred, Charlie, Draco, Colin and Seamus against Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Cho, Padma and Lavender. Padma Patil had also lost her twin in the battle, so her and Fred had been getting along very well.
"1...2...3 GO!" shouted Ron, who had taken charge of the boys' team.
Snow was flying everywhere! Ron threw a snowball at Hermione, which hit her right in the face, so she ran up to him and shoved snow down his back. He got annoyed so chased after her, but she was too quick. Hermione, however, ran straight into Charlie, who had been throwing them at Lavender and Cho, she knocked him over and landed on top of him and Ron landed on top of her. They all laughed.
Ginny was getting the snow to make itself into balls and aim themselves at Draco. Everyone hit him, of course. She stood and grinned mischievously. Draco tried to get her but she either flew over them or telepathically moved.
"NO FAIR!" yelled Draco "just because you've got special advantages doesn't mean you can use them!"
"Oh, I think I can" and she made the snow rise up behind her in a huge wave.
She looks like an ice queen, thought Draco, omg! She's gorgeous!
shut up Draco she's dead
no she's not, she's an angel
same thing
is not
is too
not
is
not
is
But before he could carry on arguing with himself Colin Creevy yelled "TIDAL SNOW WAVE!!!!!"
Ginny's wall of snow washed over them all, not heavily, because it could have killed them. they found themselves drenched so all collapsed on the ground in a sort of circle.
