The party on Saturday night was near. Ginny's band was going to play a few
songs there, and several other bands, too. Of course Ginny was going with
Draco, who else? But of course Ron just had to find out about the party,
and went and told Harry and Hermione about it. Ginny would have to wear a
mask or something so she wouldn't get in trouble. But Ron would see her
with the mask on while she preformed, and why would Draco be with a masked
girl? Oh well, Ginny thought. It's going to sort itself out, and maybe
Ron won't even go. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Ginny set up her amplifier on the platform that she was performing on. Emily, Anna, and Draco were setting up their instruments up too. She looked over at Draco, and he smiled back. She looked down at her bag and hoped against hope she wouldn't need the mask that was inside. A few other people were setting up the decorations and food, and putting soundproof spells on the walls. They had turned the ordinary classroom into a beautiful, glittering with garlands room. The desks had been moved into another classroom, and that was the way teachers usually found out about the parties.
Lots of people had arrived by nine, and Ginny's band started playing. Everyone liked them. They played the song Ginny wrote which they had written music to. It was a fairly simple song that went like this:
I feel lost
More lost than myself
I wish I could just stop going on
How can I be happy when no one around me is smiling
Lies always find themselves around me
But everyone says they're just white but I don't think so
The truth might be sad but it's worth it
Cause no one else is happy anyway
Alone, I feel
Dejected, unreal
Hopeless I am
Fallen, I have
I'll just sit here and die
As I let my life go by
They finished playing, and as a different band started to play, Ginny and Draco talked to each other. They of course had been hanging out whenever they were alone. The music started to play, and they started dancing. "Toute la pluie tombe sur moi." The music played. (AN: Translation is, "Raindrops keep falling on my head" the song is by Sacha Distel). Ginny let her worries slide away as they danced. She didn't worry about Ron and Harry, because the trio were busy talking with Emily to notice Ginny. Ginny danced, relaxed, and had a good time. Everything was going fine until.
"Excuse me, do you know if my son Draco is here?" Lucius Malfoy asked a boy near the door. Mr. Mark was by his side. "I thought he might be here, he usually goes to the parties."
"I don't know sir," The timid boy said.
"Well do you mind if I have a look around to see if he's here?" Lucius asked.
"No problem," The boy answered. Lucius and Mr. Mark were about to walk right by him, but he got up his courage and lied, "But this is a fund raiser party. You'll have to pay five sickles to enter."
Lucius rolled his eyes and handed the boy the money. He pushed through the crowd with Mr. Mark trailing after him. "Follow me, quick!" Draco said. He pushed Ginny down and crawled to the restroom. Ginny crawled after him, and noticed it was the girls' restroom.
"I hope he doesn't find us. If he does, we're both dead. Well maybe not me. I'll just get a very bad beating. But I think for sure you'll be killed," Draco whispered. Ginny started to tremble, and Draco did too.
"Excuse me, is anybody in here?" Ginny heard Lucius call outside the bathroom door. Draco ran into a stall, and Ginny started washing her hands.
"Yea, I'm in here," Ginny called.
"Well, have you seen Draco Malfoy? I'm looking for him," Lucius said.
"The last time I saw him was in the Great Hall. I think I heard him talking to Crabbe and Goyle something about sneaking out to Hogsmeade and spending the night at the inn there," Ginny ad-libbed.
"Ok then, I'll go looking for him. Thanks," Lucius and his footsteps went away.
"Good thinking Ginny," Draco said as he came out of the stall. He took Ginny's hand and led her back to the party.
"There he is!" Mr. Mark yelled and pointed at Draco and Ginny. Lucius turned from the door and strode over to them.
"What do you think you're doing with a Weasley!?" Lucius scolded.
"I'm not with her! She was sick! I was helping her! I'm just being a gentleman, like you always say to be!" Draco protested as he dropped Ginny's hand. All this yelling attracted the trio.
"What do you think you're doing with Draco!? I told you to stay away from him! And now his father's out of Azkaban!" Ron yelled.
"I think it's time we fight back," Draco whispered to Ginny.
Ginny nodded. "On the count of three," She whispered back. "One, two, three!"
Ginny tackled Ron as Draco tackled Lucius. They grabbed their wands, and turned them against their owners. But Harry, Mr. Mark, and Hermione had their wands against Ginny and Draco as well.
"Don't do anything or I swear I'll have to hurt you," Harry said to Draco. Draco and Ginny started kicking Harry and Hermione as Ron and Lucius got up and started fighting as well. By now, the music had stopped and everyone was watching them.
"Hey, he's a criminal!" Somebody yelled. "Get Dumbledore, quick!" Somebody ran out of the room. Some other Gryffyndors and Slytherinns joined in the fight. Ginny got Harry's and Hermione's wands. Draco got Mr. Mark's wand.
"Stand back, all of you!" Ginny yelled, pointing the wands at everyone. "And let us get by!"
Ginny and Draco ran out of the room, with the rest of its' occupants chasing after them. Lucius, Mr. Mark, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were at the front of the mob. They ran up to the astronomy tower and were chased into a corner.
"Now we've got you cornered!" Lucius said. "Now Draco, come with me. The Dementors have gone and are now serving the new Dark Lord. We must get you into training for serving him!"
"But father," Draco began. "I don't want to follow the Dark Arts any more!" A few of the Slytherins gasped.
"But you must! The Malfoys have forever been devoted to the Dark Arts! You cannot just simply say you want to change your way of life! This is because of your mother, right?" Lucius asked.
"She helped, but it was mostly because of my own free will!" Draco yelled.
"How dare you insult us even more, Draco! Come with me! Now! And this will not go without punishment!"
Ginny saw a very strange look come upon Draco's face at that moment. She never forgot it, and later on she was impressed how much Draco cared for her. Draco turned around and faced Ginny with deep emotion in his eyes.
"You know how much I love you, right?" Draco whispered.
"Of course. I love you too," Ginny answered.
"Now you know what I'm about to do is for your own good. Don't follow after me, and get away as soon as you can," Draco said.
"What are you going to." Ginny gasped as Draco jumped off the astronomy tower. Everyone rushed to go to the ledge and look at him falling, while Ginny quickly escaped the crowd and ran down the stairs to the grounds. Oh no, she kept on thinking. Oh no, he's going to die, he's going to die, and it'll be all my fault!
Ginny reached the grounds before anybody else. She went over to Draco lying sprawled on the grass and took his hand.
"What did you do that for?" She asked.
"Us," He answered. He then fainted. Ginny started crying as the other people came to help Draco. All Ginny could remember was being led out by Ron and crying her eyes out.
Hey! I actually got a new reviewer for the last chapter! Yes! See how desperate I am for reviews right now? Got that? Ok, review then! Thanks to the reviewers I have so far, and I hope I get more. Sorry this chapter is kind of short, it's just I thought it would be a good place to end the chapter. The story is reaching the end. I might stop at 15 chapters. But don't worry, there will be a sequel and I'll write it no matter how little reviews I get. But of course I would like reviews! Please, please, I beg you! Just review! Best wishes, (!
