The Night of Initiation
Draco stared at the spot Ginny was just occupying, his mouth a gape. He knew those robes. The all black robes, with long big black sleeves, and the huge hoods that covered the wearers face. They were Death Eater robes. All of a sudden he remembered…tonight was the night he was supposed to be initiated into the Death Eaters. "Shit" he yelled before dashing to a carriage.
The ride back to Hogwarts seemed to take forever. Maybe because the carriage was going slow or maybe he wanted to get back to the school. Finally the carriage stopped. Draco jumped out and ran into the castle up to Dumbledore's office muttering the password he heard Dumbledore use many times.
"Dumbledore!" Draco heaved trying to catch his breath. "Gin…Ginny…"
"Calm down Mr. Malfoy…breathe first then speak." Albus said sitting down in the chair behind his desk.
Draco took a few deep breaths filling his lungs then began again. "Ginny and I were walking through Hogsmeade and a Death Eater apperated behind Ginny, grabbed her and disapperated away," he said in one breath frantically.
Dumbledore looked at him for a few seconds then nodded his head.
"Well!" Draco yelled at how calm his headmaster was.
Dumbledore stood up and looked at him. "I'm going to call the Aurors and let them get her," he said walking to the fireplace.
"You don't understand!" Draco cried suddenly making Dumbledore jump. "That'll take to long…" he looked down deciding he should tell him. He looked back up at Dumbledore to find him looking directly at him now. "She's my sacrifice" he sighed out, "I'm supposed to become a Death Eater tonight." He sighed out again falling into the chair behind him.
Dumbledore walked towards Draco and knelt in front of him. "Listen Mr. Malfoy, you just have to calm down. Now I can tell you don't want to get initiated," that earned Dumbledore a very loud reassuring snort. "But you can't go and get her yourself, you have to let the Aurors devise a plan and go get her…do you understand?" he asked firmly. Draco nodded his head gloomily. "Good!" Dumbledore said cheerfully standing up again. "Now go back to your room and I'll come get you when the Aurors leave" again Draco nodded and left.
Ginny wouldn't let the Death Eater take her easily. She kicked, screamed, and tried to wiggle herself out of his grasp.
He brought her to the dungeon and chained her to the wall from chains coming out of the wall over her head and below for her ankles. It was dark and damp. The only light being a ray from a small window cut into the cement. It smelled of death. The stench of dead bodies and dried blood traveled to Ginny's nose and filled her senses to the point where she wanted to cry and vomit.
"Let me go!" Ginny yelled throwing her arms and legs around making the steel chains cut into her wrist and ankles, blood spilling out and soaking her sweatshirt and pants.
"Stop moving little girl or I'll make you!" The Death Eater who brought her there yelled. He took of his hood and turned towards Ginny.
Ginny could now see his face, which was lighted by the ray of sunlight, and gasped. She knew him. He was the drunken man that hit on her in the bookshop then threatened to rape her. Ginny mind started to scream. He wanted to take her to take her back to these mindless savages so they could have their fun with her. Now she was scared, but no matter how much she was screaming inside she would not let the Death Eaters know she was scared. "You…you sick son ova bitch" she whimpered.
The Death Eater walked up to her and backhanded her across the face, the impact of the blow making Ginny's head turn and a small cry escape her lips. The Death Eater then turned around and walked out leaving Ginny alone.
Once alone Ginny cried and screamed. She had no idea why she was here, but to be quite honest she didn't want to find out.
Draco sat in his room impatiently waiting for Dumbledore. It had been over an hour since he left Dumbledore's office; when the Aurors came in, and Dumbledore hadn't been down to tell him they went to get her.
He was getting very impatient. He didn't even want to know what the Death Eaters were doing to Ginny. The thought made his skin boil with hate and anger. He got up and started pacing his room.
"This is ridiculous…just go in, get her, then take care of the Death Eaters!" he said matter of factly. He paced around his room a little more then stopped in front of his fireplace. "I have to do something," he said. He grabbed some floo powder and stepped into him fireplace. "Malfoy Manor!"
Ginny was still in the dungeon chained to the wall. She stopped crying a while ago, but silent tears still fell from her eyes once in awhile.
She heard a loud bang and looked up toward the dungeon door. She watched a figure walk closer to her. He stepped into the ray of light and Ginny saw she was looking at the face of Lucius Malfoy.
He looked exactly like her Draco. The only difference was his face. Where Draco's face was now soft and warm, Lucius' face was hard and cold. He smirked at her and she looked away.
"Muggle loving Weasley…it's nice to know there will be one less of you tonight." He said smugly picking an imaginary piece of lint off his robe.
"What do you mean?" Ginny chocked out picking her head up to look at him again.
Lucius started to laugh. "Stupid Weasley…no money or brains" He became serious. "You're my son's sacrifice, he's becoming a Death Eater tonight"
Ginny was flabbergasted. Her Draco was becoming a filthy, slimy, murdering, Death Eater! No! He wouldn't willingly become one, he had to be forced into it!
These thoughts made her boil with anger and hate toward Lucius and the Death Eaters. "No! You're wrong! Draco would never join you mindless murderers and follow you half blood leader!" She spat angrily.
"Don't speak!" Lucius yelled violently, angry that she called his master and half blood.
Ginny smirked, something she picked up from Draco. "Mad I admitted the truth about your precious master. That he's half blood…that us muggle loving Weasleys are more of a wizard then your master!" She spat angrily and tauntingly.
That was the final straw for Lucius. He drew out his wand and pointed it at Ginny's chest. "Crucio!" He yelled
Ginny screamed and her body folded and white hot pain coursed through her body.
Draco tumbled out of one of the many fireplaces into one of his many studies. He stood up and brushed some of the soot off himself, still leaving a significant amount. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wand. He then walked out of the study toward the dungeons where he knew Ginny would be.
He tiptoed through the house as to not make a sound. He finally came to the door. He walked up to it and went to open the big wooden plank door, but someone covered his hand ceasing his movements. Draco looked up to find Bellatrix Lestrange as the owner of the hand.
"Shouldn't you be in Azkaban?" Draco asked disgustingly.
Bellatrix sneered at him and ignored his question. "Where are you going?" She asked sternly.
"Where does it look like I'm going?" Draco asked annoyed opening the door. Bellatrix pushed the door closed. Draco turned and glared at her.
"You can't go down there," she said
"Why not?" Draco asked keeping his hand firmly on the knob.
"Because it's not ready," Bellatrix said keeping her hand on the door.
They glared at each other for a while until and blood-curdling scream was heard. Ginny's scream. Draco looked at the door worried and trying to find a way down there. Acting on impulse he raised his wand at Bellatrix and before she had time to react Draco stunned her. Then he opened the door and made his way down the stairs into the dungeon.
Ron looked around the Great Hall. It was dinnertime and Ginny hadn't come back from her day out with Draco, and they should have been back by now. He looked everywhere for her. The common room, he had Hermione see if she was in her room, the library, and even Draco's room (at that point finding the two snogging would have been a relief).
He looked up at the teacher's table and saw Dumbledore come in, walk in between Snape and McGonagall and whisper something to them. He then watched as McGonnagall's face turned white and Snape's was set in a determined look. The two teachers stood up and them, along with Dumbledore, left.
Ron jumped up and ran after them, Harry and Hermione following him. He finally caught up with Dumbledore out in the corridor and stopped Dumbledore by grabbing his arm. Dumbledore turned around confused.
"My sister's missing!" Ron blurted out.
Dumbledore sighed and turned to the other two professors, who stopped when the noticed Dumbledore was not with them. "I'll meet you up in my office. I'll explain to these three what has happened" Snape and McGonagall turned and walked away to Dumbledore's office.
"What happened?" Ron asked shakily.
"Your sister right now is in Malfoy Manor," he started and The Trio's mouth dropped open. "Mr. Malfoy is supposed to become a Death Eater tonight and Miss Weasley is his sacrifice."
"WHAT!" Ron screamed. "I'm gonna kill that son ova –"
"Mr. Weasley! Will you calm down and let me finish!" Dumbledore cried. Ron shut up and Hermione put her hand on his shoulder comfortingly while Harry just stood there stunned. "Thank you. Now you should know that Mr. Malfoy does not wish to go through with the initiation, he refuses to become a Death Eater. He came and told me what happened, I called Aurors to go get her and told him to wait but he didn't. He went to her by himself. I just went to go get him to ask him a few questions and he wasn't there."
The Trio all sighed. Ron and Harry ran their hands over their face and through their hair. Hermione put her hand over her mouth and tried very hard to keep her tears in her eyes.
"Is there anything we can do?" Harry asked desperately.
Dumbledore nodded. "Yes…stay here and let the Aurors do their work." He said then walked away back to his office.
The Trio walked back to the common room in silence. Once there Ron started panicking.
"We can't just stand here and do nothing! We…we have to go get her!" He exclaimed.
"There are Aurors going after her and Malfoy. We have to stay here." Hermione reasoned.
"She's right…Dumbledore told us to stay here," Harry agreed.
"Look I'm going…you guys can come if you want!" Ron said walking to the fireplace.
"Ron don't! You could get killed!" Hermione cried grabbing his arm.
Ron spun around to look at her. "She's my sister Hermione! I can't let her die! I have to!" Ron said stepping into the fireplace.
"Well I won't let you go alone!" Harry said stepping into the fireplace next to Ron.
Ron smiled at Harry then took some powder and handed the jar to Harry. Hermione sighed and stepped into the fireplace taking some powder. Harry and Ron gave her curious looks.
"I'm not gonna have you two go without a plan or a smart person to talk some sense…let's go" she snapped.
They shouted their destination, throwing the powder down and letting the green flames engulf them.
Draco ran down the stairs as Ginny's screams became louder and more blood curdling. When he came to the bottom the horrifying scene was in front of him.
Ginny was chained to the wall by her wrist and ankles, blood covering her clothes near where she was chained. Tears were streaming down her face, her body folded, agonizing screaming were piercing the air.
"Stop!" Draco yelled startling Lucius making the curse on Ginny stop.
Ginny looked up at Draco her eyes full of pain, love, and thankfulness.
Lucius smirked. "Glad to see you came to join us son." He gave a sharp cock of his head toward Ginny. "Aren't you glad it's a piece of filth Weasley you're gonna have to kill?"
"Let her go!" Draco yelled firmly to Lucius then looked to Ginny. All he wanted to do was gather her in her arms, kiss her, and tell her everything was okay. The later would have been a lie, but at least he would be able to comfort her.
"What are you playing at boy? She's your sacrifice what…" Lucius looked between the two and suddenly it dawned on him. "Merlin what have I done wrong?" He sighed shaking his head. He looked at Draco. "Her! You're shagging her!" He yelled pointing at Ginny with his wand.
Draco glared at his so-called-father. "Not that it's any of your business but we didn't shag. We were together though." He said coldly still staring at Lucius.
"Well it's a good thing you were together because now your going to kill her, get the Dark Mark, and become a Death Eater!"
"No!" Draco bellowed, "I'm not becoming a mindless Death Eater who follows that half muggle creature!" he spat disgustingly.
"Don't push son…you're doing it!" Lucius yelled angrily.
"No! I'm not gonna be pushed around by you anymore! I'm. Not. Doing it!" Draco yelled
Ginny looked at Draco proudly. He did it! He stood up to his father! For himself and for me! She thought lovingly.
Lucius face twisted in complete anger and he raised his wand. "Crucio!" He bellowed his wand pointed at Draco's chest.
Draco toppled onto his knees, his body folded, but he refused to yell as the pain washed over his body.
Ginny cries did however fill the room. She struggled to get out of her restraints, but she only caused more pain for herself. "Stop!" She yelled once again endless hot tears making a journey down her cheek. "Stop! Please! Draco!" She cried. Ginny threw her arms and legs about pulling every chain every which way, but nothing was working. "Please!" She sobbed.
Draco wasn't yelling or screaming, but his face was showing how much pain he was in and every now and then he would make some kind of grunt. He was still on his knees with his body folded over.
"Expelliarmus!" Lucius' wand shot out of his hand into the hand of Ron. The spell was released on Draco and now he was toppled over breathing hard.
"Ron!" Ginny cried happily. She was ecstatic to see him, Harry, and Hermione. It made her feel a little safer.
They all had their wands drawn and pointed at Lucius.
"Oh! How wonderful for the infamous Dream Team to show up to save the day!" Lucius said sarcastically and disturbing smile coming to his face. "Well I have something else to occupy you with!" He clapped his hands and a door opened behind The Trio.
Death Eaters poured into the room. Ron turned around to look at them and dropped Lucius' wand. Lucius grabbed it and unlocked Ginny from the chains. She collapsed into his arms and he carried her away into a separate room connected to this one. By this time Draco had recovered somewhat. He got up and followed Lucius.
"Let me go! Stop! Help me!" Ginny screamed kicking her legs and punching Lucius in the chest.
Lucius took her into another room the only furniture in it being a bed.
"Oh Merlin! No! Let me go!" She yelled panicking, but still putting up a fight. Lucius threw her onto the bed with a smirk.
"Let her go!" Draco said firmly still slightly holding his stomach, which was still in some sort of pain.
Lucius turned to face his son and rolled his eyes at him. "Come to save the day? Face it son you will never be the hero so don't try. You were destined to be a Death Eater and a Death Eater you will become…no matter what!" He said.
At that same moment Voldemort came in followed by another Death Eater who was holding a struggling Harry.
"I'm ready, with…" He turned and pointed his hand towards Harry. "…another sacrifice" he hissed.
Draco shook his head. "I'm not becoming one of you," he said.
Lucius smirked. "Fine, then watch as I raped and kill your beloved!" He turned around and pointed his wand at Ginny. "Imperio!"
Ginny body felt light. She felt she was floating on air.
"Now she'll do anything I say!" Lucius said smugly, his head turned to look at Draco.
Draco started to panic. "Gin…you gotta fight this!" He yelled
"Fight it Ginny!" Harry yelled still struggling to get away from the Death Eater.
Inwardly Ginny was having a battle. She tried to fight the curse, but her body wouldn't allow her. She could hear Draco and Harry, and she wanted to listen to them, to get through this, but her body seemed to have a different mind of its own.
Draco pushed past his father and walked up to Ginny. He cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes. He saw nothing. "You gotta fight this Ginny. Be strong baby!" He said
Lucius was enraged. How could his son betray him like this? He had feelings for this Weasley and because of these feelings he didn't want to become a Death Eater. He had to do something. "Hit him Weasley!"
Ginny heard him, but desperately didn't want to hit Draco. Her body went against her though and she raised her hand and began hitting Draco. She wanted to stop. She tried with all her might to stop, but she couldn't…she wasn't strong enough.
Draco just took it. He knew Ginny didn't want to do this to him and she couldn't stop herself. But he wouldn't let his father win. He had to make Ginny fight this.
"Stop Ginny! Fight this!" Harry yelled still struggling to get out of the Death Eaters grasp. Next to him Voldemort, as well as the Death Eater, seemed to be quite amused.
Draco finally knew what he had to do. He had to put everything on the line and tell her how he felt. He knew this would break the curse. He grabbed both her wrist before she could get in another hit. He looked into her eyes again. "Fight it Ginny…please baby…I love you…I need you with me" he said.
Ginny stared at him expressionlessly, but inside she was yelling. I love you to Draco! I need you to! I have to fight this!
Lucius was enraged. He son loved a Weasley! A lower level, muggle loving, red haired, no money Weasley! His face got red and he reached for his wand.
Ginny was still having the battle with herself. She tried with all her might to fight it. To be able to wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and whisper to him that she felt the same. It took all the strength she had, but she broke through the curse. "Draco…I…"
Draco eyes widen. She did it. He held her tight and listened to her.
"I…I…" Ginny stumbled on her words. She was so weak. She tried again then felt herself falling and darkness washed over her.
