Chapter Three
The next morning, to Draco's pleasure, the entire house looked spotless. The floors were shinny and the walls looked freshly painted again. He walked down the hall and straight into 'her' room.
"Weasley?" Draco asked into the room. He walked slowly over to the bed and opened the hangings. He looked at her still form. She looked like she hadn't moved all night.
"Ginevra Weasley I demand you wake up this instance." Draco commanded her. Draco's face reddened as she slept on. "I SAID GINEVRA WEASLEY I DEMAND YOU WAKE UP THIS INSTANCE!" Draco yelled.
Ginny moved very slightly and didn't open her eyes. A pained look came across her face as a tear trickled out of her eye.
"I'm sorry I over slept...I just had the best dream that I was with your child..." Ginny trailed off. Draco took a step back looking clearly appalled.
"I certainly hope not!" He spat.
Ginny opened one of her eyes gradually, then the next looking anxious. Then after she took in her surroundings settled her eyes on Draco.
"Draco Malfoy." Ginny breathed.
"Yes." Draco said solemnly.
Ginny smiled at him and got out of the bed standing before him. Draco raised an eyebrow at her as she stepped towards him. Ginny placed her arms around his neck and leaned into him, hugging him. Draco stiffened and didn't move as she engulfed him into an unsuspected hug.
"Thank you." Ginny whispered to him. Draco clenched his jaw tightly and pushed her back.
"You will be expected at breakfast every morning at seven A.M., lunch at noon, and dinner at five thirty. Tardiness is not allowed in this home. You will dress accordingly and you most certainly will behave yourself." Draco told her.
Ginny looked at him as if he were insane.
"What are you going on about?" Ginny asked him. Draco bestowed an annoyed expression in her direction.
"I'm talking about the rules that you will have to follow while you live in my home." Draco told her crossing his arms. "Unlike your old home I have rules."
"Which place do you refer to!?" Ginny yelled. She gently slid back onto the bed and shot him an angry, tired look. "While I live in your home...what do you mean?" Ginny asked uncertainly.
"Would you rather live on the streets? Or perhaps you want to go out into the world, move to America, and live in a cheap hotel? He would find you in a week, but here? No one would think you to be here...in a Malfoy's home...and if they did, they wouldn't be stupid enough to try and come claim you." Draco said looking smug at his quick thinking. "But, by all means, go ahead, don't let me stop you."
"Thank you." Ginny told him looking down at her feet.
"Who is he? I demand to know." Draco asked simi-curiously.
"Well, that's just too bad because I am not ready to talk." Ginny said in a weak voice.
"Fine, your bag thing is down stairs in my office, and the broom is in my bedroom. Breakfast is in about..." Draco pulled out a pocket watch and looked at it, "ten minutes. Hurry and go get changed."
Ginny sighed as she watched him leave the room. Slowly, she stood from the bed, her entire body sore, and walked out of the room. She exited the bedroom and walked into the long spacious hallways. Left, there was a window, and right there was darkness. Taking a deep breath, she went to the left and at the end of that hall, to the right. After at least ten minutes of walking she started to panic.
"Hello? Somebody...anybody?" Ginny squeaked. A house elf appeared before her and Ginny screamed loudly into the bare halls, echoing.
"Um, Can Hannah helps Mrs. Malfoy?" The elf asked.
"I'm not Mrs. Malfoy! I'm....never mind. Tell me, where breakfast is served please." Ginny asked the elf politely. "That is if you wouldn't mind?"
Hannah beamed at Ginny and led her back down the halls quickly.
"This is your room. From here Miss, you go this way." The elf pointed towards the dark hall and after a little while of walking down a stairway. Ginny walked quickly as the elf led her, trying to concentrate at all the turns. Finally the elf stopped walking in front of two large oak doors.
"This is it Miss."
"Thank you very much Hannah. You've been such a blessing. Would you mind if I asked you a couple favors?" Ginny looked at the happy elf hopefully. The elf's eyes brightened and it nodded vigorously.
"Do you think that you can help me find my way here for lunch early...and diner? I really shouldn't be late..." Ginny told the elf. The elf grinned and nodded.
"Yes maim misses. Hannah does it for you!!!" Hanna said before running off. Ginny sighed. She had said a couple.
Slowly she opened the large doors and walked into a large dining room with at least sixty seated table, and windows covered in dark black drapes.
"You would be late. I remember saying tardiness was not allowed in this home. Your punishment," Ginny winced to Draco's utter disgust, "shall be banishment. Sit at the far other end of the table." Draco told her snootily.
Ginny held back her laugh and pushed her lips in her mouth as she did the walk of 'banishment' with her head hung.
'Oh whatever did I do to deserve this...'Ginny thought laughing softly now that she couldn't be seen as clearly from the other end of the table.
Breakfast went by quickly as Ginny ate helping after helping. After she finished she looked over to see how Draco was doing. He was looking her way, but that's all she could tell from the distance.
'Oi...Is he waving me over?' Ginny squinted, her eyes and looked at Draco hardly.
"Maim, master requests your presence at the head seat." A little elf told Ginny. Ginny startled, jumped a little out of her seat but smiled sweetly at the elf.
"Thank you very much." Ginny told her. The elf's eyes widened as Ginny stood and left for the 'head' seat.
"Yes?" Ginny asked once she was nearer to Draco.
"I also remember saying dress appropriately." Draco told her eyeing her clothing with disgust.
"I couldn't find that room you were talking about. Sorry." Ginny said embarrassed at her dirty and ripped clothing.
"Fine, follow me." Draco stood abruptly and walked down the winding of the house. He opened a door, in the long door-full hall. He strode in and grabbed her bag with one finger, balancing it.
"Where were you headed?" He asked. Ginny shrugged as she looked around the office. Everything was rich looking, even the fireplace cinders.
"Away."
"And this is all you so conveniently grabbed? What's in here?" Draco said giving her an amused look.
"Some money...a little bit of food..." Ginny sighed.
"WOW! You'll really be able to live off of all that. Just like a Weasley not to think things threw." Draco spat.
"Well sorry if I didn't have the LEASURE TO THINK ABOUT THINGS!" Ginny yelled at him. Draco stiffened and looked in at her darkened face.
"No, I suppose not..." Draco said quietly. "So, you have no clothes?" Draco sighed looking at the embarrassed Ginny.
"I...I..."
"Save it Weasley. Its not like you chose to be here....or back...there." Draco told her putting on his cloak. She nodded gratefully. Draco threw her cloak at her and walked over to the fireplace, throwing powder in it.
"Well? Are you coming?" He asked irritated. Ginny nodded and stepped into the fire with him. "DIAGON ALLEY!" Draco yelled.
Ginny landed on the ground as Draco stepped out of the fireplace, still standing and looking as if he had never even been near soot. Ginny pulled her hood over her face carefully and stood up from the ground by him.
"So," Draco said as he looked over at her, "that wand, was it a hand-me- down?" Ginny stiffened and made a huffy sound.
"Malfoy..." Ginny said in a warning voice.
"I wasn't poking fun you git." Draco sneered. He held onto her arm and started towards Olivanders.
Ginny noticed the crowds' part from under her darkened hood. A hush fell over the people and they began whispering behind their hands. She dared a glance at Draco, his hair was almost silver and it was no longer slicked back, but hung gracefully around his defined face. He walked very straight and sure of himself, not bothering to wonder why people were acting the way they were. He narrowed his eyes and smirked at the people.
"BOO!" Draco yelled suddenly. Every person jumped a little startled by the outburst, even Ginny. Draco sneered deeper and opened the door to Olivanders, pushing Ginny in ahead of him.
"Ah, Ginevra Weasley, I wondered when I would be seeing you." Mr. Olivander drawled coming out from behind a shelf.
"Yes, well, she's seeing you now, and we are in a hurry if you don't mind." Draco spat.
"Why, hello there Mr. Malfoy. How is your Dragon's Heart String wand?" Mr. Olivander asked kindly.
"Luckily they didn't break it. Is that what you wanted to know old man!? Fit her with a wand!" Draco yelled at him pointing at Ginny. Mr. Olivander smirked at Draco infuriatingly.
"Here, take this Ms. Weasley." Olivander handed Ginny a light oak. When her hand touched the pureness of the wand, a loud wailing banshee sound erupted into the wand shop breaking every piece of glass. Ginny dropped the wand quickly and secured her hood, slightly startled.
"No? I would have sworn...." Olivander looked at Ginny curiously. "Well Ms. Weasley you must have changed somewhat....from what I thought..."
He handed her a dark mahogany wand and took a step back. Ginny waved it and a soft mist of cold air filled the shop. Olivander smiled.
"11 inches, Mahogany wood, and a very unusual core, a dragon's tear.... That will be 12 sickles Ms. Weasley." Olivander told her.
"Take it from my account Olivander." Draco signed the verification paper and looked down at Ginny as she carefully placed the wand in her pocket. "Let's go."
Ginny walked out of the shop with Draco quickly. He turned towards Ginny, who took a step back. He grabbed her arm and led her into Madam Malkins robe shop.
"Yes deary?" A plumpish woman asked Ginny.
"She will need seven of the following: skirts, dress slacks, and your best deep hooded cloaks. I also want fourteen dress shirts of the lady's choosing. She will dress herself....." Draco commanded. Ginny's eyes bugged, and she was very happy for deep hood she was wearing as a red blush crept on her face. She hadn't gotten any new clothes in forever...only night accessories.
"Oh, and anything else she finds to her liking...night things and under things...put it all on my account." Draco waved the woman away with a graceful movement of his hand.
Madam Malkin rushed around shoving items into a dressing room for Ginny to try on. Ginny stood by Draco watching the woman run around the shop.
"You don't have to do this." Ginny told him. Draco looked over at her.
"Shut up." He said angrily. "When did you marry anyways?" Draco asked her after a few moments of awkward silence.
"Two years, one week, and four days ago." Ginny told him.
"How long has he...?" Draco trailed off.
"The night of our honey moon he started...he was drunk." Ginny said looking down at her feet.
"Fucking asshole." Draco cursed, looking in the distance.
"Yeah." Ginny agreed looking at Draco oddly.
"Ok deary! I have a room ready, full of all sorts of clothes," said Madam Malkin happily. Ginny stood and walked back into the room and tried on all the clothes. After several hours latter, the room was separated in two piles, the yes's and the no's.
Ginny came out of the room, her cloak fastened and pointed at the yes pile.
"I'll take those." Ginny told the bouncing lady who immediately rang them all up.
"That will be....1, 004 galleons!" Draco pushed a long golden key into the older woman's hand, completely disinterested. Ginny on the other hand, was aghast. 1, 004?!?!
"I want them delivered straight away." Draco told her. She nodded happily while folding the clothes.
"Ditz." Draco murmured as they exited the shop. Ginny giggled at his annoyed face.
"What's so funny Weasley?" Draco asked her.
"Ditz." Ginny said giggling. "I have to agree with you-"
"GET OUT OF HERE DEATHEATER!" Someone yelled as they passed by.
Ginny tensed and thought about this for a moment. Then it dawned on her, she was wearing a dark long hooded cloak! She must look like a deatheater. In the split second Ginny was thinking this, another person began yelling.
"YEAH! No one wants you here! We know what you are!" A woman said throwing some kind of plant their way from a cart. Ginny squealed and scooted closer to Draco, who had to duck at the plant flying his way.
"Bugger off you old hag!" Draco yelled at her pulling out his wand and holding it tightly in his hand by his side.
A group of people began to close around them in a circle. Draco sneered and grabbed Ginny pulling her close to his chest, wrapping his arms around her back.
"Don't move Weasley." Draco said in an undertone to her. Ginny wrapped her arms around his waist and held him close fearfully.
"Abeo abicio vicissitudo!" He yelled.
Slowly the crowd was being forced back. Some fell into carts and others thrown into the ground. Ginny looked from behind her hood and once Draco's grip on her back loosened, Ginny let him go, looking around at the angry people.
Draco grabbed her hand and pulled her towards a shop and looking out the window at the frozen people. After a few seconds, they started moving, as if they had been stunned.
Ginny sighed in relief and took in her surroundings. They were in what looked like a potions supply store.
"Can I help you?" asked a young looking teenager from behind a counter. Ginny smiled and nodded, pulling her hood tightly around her face.
"I have...some bruises," Ginny started, "see, I was in Romania with my...friend...He's a dragon trainer, and I got really beat up. Do you have anything?"
"Oh...yes maim! Its in the back...hold on!" The young woman walked into the back of the store carrying a small vial. "Here ya go!" She said handing Ginny the potion.
Ginny pulled a gallon out of her pocket and handed it to the lady. The employee stared at Ginny's exposed wrist. A hand imprint was clearly visible.
"No maim, I insist. It's on the house." She said handing it back to Ginny. Ginny nodded and thanked the woman gratefully.
Ginny pulled the stopper off of the vial and under her hood, drank the nasty substance. Her throat burned as it stung the entire way down.
"UECK!" Ginny said almost vomiting it up. Draco, who had been looking out of a crack in the window, looked over at Ginny.
"What are you doing?" Draco asked her annoyed. Ginny smiled a toothy grin and turned her back to the kind young lady, so that she was facing Draco when she pulled her hood down.
Draco's jaw eased and slightly, VERY slightly, drooped. Ginny's hair gently fell to her sides, reaching her a foot below her waist, and her ginger eyes sparkled with joy, but the best feature was her beautiful smile.
"WOW! You were in the paper!!" The lady said. Ginny tensed and pulled her hood up quickly while shoving in her hair. Draco narrowed his eyes at her and clenched his jaw.
"Lets go." He told Ginny. Ginny nodded and thanked the lady a last time before leaving.

Ginny came out of the room, her cloak fastened and pointed at the yes pile.
"I'll take those." Ginny told the bouncing lady who immediately rang them all up.
"That will be....1, 004 galleons!" Draco pushed a long golden key into the older woman's hand, completely disinterested. Ginny on the other hand, was aghast. 1, 004?!?!
"I want them delivered straight away." Draco told her. She nodded happily while folding the clothes.
"Ditz." Draco murmured as they exited the shop. Ginny giggled at his annoyed face.

Ginny sighed in relief and took in her surroundings. They were in what looked like a potions supply store.

Ginny pulled the stopper off of the vial and under her hood, drank the nasty substance. Her throat burned as it stung the entire way down.
