Chapter 7: Venturing out into Troubled Waters.
"Adam? What are you talking about?" said Draco holding the crying Ginny.
"That's Adam! He's come to be the Quidditch Coach", she said crying into his jacket.
"Why didn't you tell Harry?"
Ginny pulled away, "Why do I have to tell him everything? He knows I was raped, I don't want anymore people involved". She put her back towards him. She heard the crunching of the snow as it came toward her.
"Look", said Draco, turning her slightly to him, "Forget about him, he can't do anything to you while there are thousands of students here".
He was right, and she turned fully to him. They began to walk and Draco had one arm around her at all times. Ginny had a sense of protection now with Draco around her. They walked all the way to Ginny's greenhouse and saw that it was not completely covered in snow. The roof was partially saved, showing bits of glass with frost. The only problem was getting to the door. Even with the spell Ginny had put before the storm, the level of snow had passed its point.
"Wow! Looks like a fort!" exclaimed Draco.
"Yeah...it does," Ginny said gloomily.
Draco looked straight at her, seeing her eyes swell and water, looking down at the ground. Draco walked straight towards her, raised her chin, wiped the tears from her cheek, and slowly, yet passionately, brought his lips towards hers. Ginny feeling nothing but varies fleeting sensations, began to feel weak in the knees.
After several...minutes of kissing, Ginny backed away.
"Let's see what we can do about the greenhouse".
They walked toward the greenhouse and started to unblock the door. When they finally did so, they opened it and went inside. Ginny couldn't believe what she had seen.
Within a few days, the plants were out of control! Vines and sprouts were everywhere! Mandrakes lay on the tables with clutter of broken clay pots around them. Devil Snare grew long but now was shriveling back with the appearance of sunshine. Ginny shook her head and walked toward the table to start her work.
"Scrubbus Uppus", shouted Draco and within a flash, everything was back to normal.
"Thanks," Ginny said softly, "I guess when your father works with Muggles most of the time, you forget you have magic"."
"Don't worry, with time comes great wizardry", he said with a smirk.
"Whatever you say", she replied.
'Tap, Tap'
There was a tap on the glass door. Draco walked to see who was there.
"It's Harry", called out a voice from behind the door.
"Ugh", Draco groaned in disgust as he opened the door.
There at the door was Harry with two other figures. They all walked in. There Ginny was able to plainly see it was Ron and...Adam.
"Just giving a tour, I hope you don't mind," said Harry.
"No...no, I don't", Ginny replied trembling.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine, just cold".
"Well on with the tour, here as you can see is our wondrous greenhouse used to teach and to help with our medicinal needs..." Ginny heard Harry as he went on with his tour but all she heard in her mind were screams of pain and anguish. She couldn't scream, it stifled her. She saw how Adam wasn't paying one bit of attention to Harry or Ron but kept his focus on her. She watched him attentively as he walked around the greenhouse right passed her. She felt light headed, it was too much! She ran outside but collapsed in the cold snow.
'Ginny...oh Ginny...wake up...'a voice said.
With blurry eyes and with a headache the size of Hogsmeade, she slowly opened her eyes. Standing next to her was Ron with a worried face and a bag of Honeydukes famous candy. He put his hand on her forehead.
"My you have such a fever", he said with a motherly tone. Ginny smirked.
"Where am I?" she asked
"Hospital Wing".
"What happened?"
"I don't know, all I saw was that you ran out of the greenhouse and then in the middle of the clearing, you just fainted," replied Ron.
"I did?"
"Yeah, did Malfoy do anything funny to you? Because I swear!"
"Look!" said Ginny slightly raising her voice, "Mal...I mean Draco didn't do anything to me! Will you get a fucking grip all ready?"
"Well, he had better not, but he did carry you all the way up here".
"He did? Wow! I'm..."
"I'm what?"
"I'm...impressed", Ginny replied.
"With that brute? Adam is so much better", said Ron.
Ginny froze...what was Ron trying to say? She knew Adam was his friend and all but why would he call him 'better'?
"Ron, I'm kind of tired now. Talk to you later, yah?"
"Yah".
Ron walked out the double doors. Ginny looked up at the ceiling. Perplexed, what was she going to do? At that moment, Harry walked in.
"'Ello there Gin", he said.
"Hi there Harry".
"Feeling any better?"
"Somewhat, but I have such a headache", she moaned.
"Don't worry about teaching tomorrow, I'll fill in for your classes"
"No, Harry, you really don't have to..." she was cut off.
"Ah, but I insist. You get some rest and I'll see you in the morning", he said as he got up to leave.
Still with the perplexed look on her face, Ginny went on looking up at the ceiling. She sighed a deep and heavy one and closed her eyes. Nothing but darkness seemed to overcome her. A few minutes later she opened her eyes and looked to a window that was near her bed. It was getting dark and she wanted to go and get a shower. But she couldn't leave the Hospital Wing, but you know what, oh well.
She crept out of the bed and got her cloak, it was quite chilly. Still she had this pounding headache, probably from the snow. She went to her portrait and went inside to get some of her necessities for a bath and her clothing. When she came out of the portrait hole, she saw two black figures coming down the hall.
'Oh no', she thought. She looked around and saw a statue. She ran and hid behind it.
The figures came into focus now. It was Ron and Adam.
"Have you been down to the Hospital Wing yet?" asked Ron.
"Nah not yet, I'm planning on though", replied Adam.
"You've got to do something quick yah know, I think she's starting to fancy that Malfoy character", said Ron in a sneering tone.
"Don't worry, she'll fancy me in no time, once she sees my broomstick, if you catch my drift", Adam said laughing. Ginny looked at Ron's face.
"Ay mate, I was just joking, I would never do anything to hurt you little sis", he said sympathetically.
"Well, you better not, even if you're my mate, I wouldn't see why I couldn't mash your head and feed you to Fluffy", laughed Ron.
They walked away, Ginny in total shock and anger. Ron was trying to hook her up with Adam all this time. Ginny clutched to her clothing and things fell down to the ground and started to weep.
A/N: CLIFFHANGER AGAIN!!!! I know...I'm sorry. Time is very limited. School will be over soon and I guess I'll be able to write more. What a twist wouldn't you say? The Harry Potter movie is coming out in 2 more days...of course I'm going to see it! But once again, I'm truly and deeply sorry that I haven't updated in such a long while, my life is nothing but drama...--'.
