Chapter 8: Nobody Knew

{At Hogwarts...}

Nobody knew that neither Draco nor Ginny had run away, because everybody was asleep. It was silent, and serene, but that would soon be broken by morning..

{Back to Ginny and Draco..}

Draco and Ginny had gone into the forest. They were both grasping each other's hands tightly to make sure that they wouldn't go lost, or something bad would happen to them.

"Remember...if something comes near us, either one of us will cast a spell. We still have our wands. At least I do.", Ginny reminded Draco.

No sound came out of Draco.

"Draco..Draco!", Ginny shouted. She was reassuring that it wasn't a stranger holding her hand tightly.

"What?!", Draco asked.

"Remember..", Ginny reminded again.

"I will..I will.", Draco said.

"Do you have your wand with you?", Ginny asked.

Draco nodded. "I think so", he replied.

"What do you mean? We'll stop here for you to check.", Ginny said.

Draco searched his pockets, but it seemed he couldn't find it anywhere.

"Oh shit!", he shouted.

"You can't find it?", Ginny asked worried.

"I left it in my dormitory.", Draco replied.

"Ok..ok. No problem. I have my wand with me, so just in case, if anything bad happens I'll fight it out.", Ginny said.

"The only time when something bad happens is with Potter.", Draco said.

"Ok, let's get going. Come on!", Ginny said.

So, they continued going through the forest. There was nothing in sight, just the tall trees, and some plants. There were no sounds or animals to be found. Not even werewolves, which was common to see if anybody had gone into the forest.

"It's awfully quiet around here now.", Draco said suspiciously.

"Well, it's past midnight. Of course it's bound to be quiet! But then again, I've never been into the forest before. You have right?", Ginny said.

"Yeah, I have. There were werewolves howling at the moon, and noises around. We saw some creatures around. It was..scary.", Draco replied to Ginny's question.

"Well, maybe it was like that just on that particular day.", Ginny said.

"Maybe..", Draco said.

They continued to walk. There was nothing so far. Maybe it was good, or bad, but they weren't harmed. Suddenly, a sound came. It sounded like the wind, but it sounded like someone screaming. They couldn't tell if it was a woman or a man.

"Do you hear that?", Draco asked.

"You mean the screaming?", Ginny asked.

"Yeah. I can't tell whether it sounds like a man or woman.", Draco said.

"Maybe, it's just the wind.", Ginny said.

"I doubt the wind can sound that loud, and angry at the same time.", Draco said.

"Maybe it can, but I doubt it also.", Ginny said.

"Let's just keep on walking. Maybe someone needs help.", Draco said.

"You would help them?", Ginny asked.

"When one is in need, you need to help of course.", Draco replied.

"Good thinking. I like your thinking. Let's walk towards the sound.", Ginny said as she smiled back at Draco, but Draco couldn't see her face since he was walking behind her.

Ginny turned around to face Draco. Draco's face turned pale as he saw Ginny.

"Draco..What's wrong?", Ginny asked.

"Your face..", Draco said nervously.

"What about my face?!", Ginny said angrily.

"You're bleeding.", Draco said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I am certainly not!", Ginny shouted.

"Y-Y-yes you are..You're face is bleeding-badly.", Draco said.

Ginny touched her face with her hand. It felt like blood. Smelt like blood. It looked like blood.

"OH MY GOSH!!!!" Ginny shouted.

Draco walked towards Ginny, and hugged her to try and calm her down.

"How did this happen?! I didn't..I didn't even fall down..or get hurt..or anything!", Ginny shouted.

"I know. I know..", Draco said as he patted her back while hugging her.

They sat down and laid back together for a while. Then, the sound of footsteps came.

"Who's there?!", Draco shouted while he asked.

The sound of footsteps came closer, but nobody answered.

"Who's there?! I demand you to tell me who you are!", Draco shouted while holding Ginny tightly.

"Ahhh..long time no see...", said a voice.

"Th-that voice sounds familiar, but I can't draw it out who it is from my memory.", Ginny said.

"Of course..you know me Ginny. You know me, very well. You helped me once remember?", the voice said again asking Ginny.

"I demand you to show yourself!", Draco shouted.

"Ahh..Draco. I know your father..I know your father very well.", the voice said again.

The voice sounded mature, but it also sounded like a young adult.

"No, you don't! I demand to show yourself!", Draco demanded again.

"Very well..but you've been warned.", the voice replied.

Suddenly, the footsteps kept on coming closer.

"D-D-Draco..I feel weak.", Ginny said as she drew out her wand.

"I know..Let's just see who it is first, and then you could have gotten it out later..", Draco said holding Ginny tightly for her protection.

The footsteps came closer, and closer. The young adult was seen....
