Please continue your prayer for Sailor Catastrophe. She recently lost her father, and at Christmas time, that has to be hard. :(

Chapter Thirteen

Draco stayed by the bed for two days, waiting for Ginny to wake. She would occasionally arouse and ask for water, but other than that, she stayed still, sleeping. Draco was getting frustrated and barely slept as he waited.

Draco sighed as he got out of his shower, pulling on a pair of sweat pants and long sleeve shirt. The winter cold was seeping in, and from what he had heard, it had already snowed twice. Slowly he walked into her bed room.

Nothing had moved since she had inhabited the room. Every trinket strategically positioned for the perfect interior design, remained in their original place.

Draco walked around the room, touching everything softly with the tips of his fingers. No dust had collected and it seemed like she had never even been here. Draco looked at the bed. It was his only proof. He laid down on it smelling a fresh sunny smell on her pillow.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Draco asked as he shoved his head further into the pillow. His hands went under the soft head cushion, finding a hard notebook object under the pillow.

Draco pulled the book out, looking at his black journal. His lives moments and his dark despair, written in his script, all in one book that she had read. How could he let her read it?

He sighed as he picked up the book and began walking back towards his room. She lay still on his bed, her breathing rhythmic. Draco walked over to his bed and looked upon her sleeping form, setting the book on his bedside table.

"You need to wake my sleeping beauty." Draco whispered as he kissed her lips softly. His warm lips were met with cold unmoving lips.

"HANNAH! HEAT THIS HOUSE!!!" Draco yelled. He bent and touched his warm hands to her face. His hands chilled on her cold face, she was freezing. Draco crawled into the bed, cuddling up against her, trying to warm her cold body.

He pressed his lips to hers and kept them on her lips, wishing her to react. Soft lips under his own began to move and he was stunned. He pulled back and looked into the cinnamon honey eyes of Ginevra Weasley.

"Sleeping Beauty awakes." Draco whispered. Ginny smiled at him.

"She only needed her prince charming to kiss her lips." Ginny croaked. Draco grinned as he slipped out of the bed.

"Are you hungry?" Draco asked as he called for Hannah.

"Yes, I am very hungry love." Ginny answered. Draco paused and looked at her raising an eyebrow.

"I'll have a thick chicken noodle soup please Hannah." Ginny told the elf, ignoring Draco.

"Yes Mrs. Malfoy." Hannah answered.

Draco's eyes widened and he stepped back from the elf, his mouth opening. Ginny looked at him wearily.

"What is it Draco?" Ginny asked as she sat up in the bed, propping her back up on the pillows.

Draco pointed to the elf then back at her, at a loss for words. Ginny looked at him confused until Hannah came back to the room with her soup.

"Hannah brings you soup! Hannah was so worried abouts Mrs. Malfoy!" Hannah was muttering as she set the tray on Ginny's lap, tucking a napkin in her night shirt.

Draco fell back into a chair behind him stunned. His face had run pale and Ginny was beginning to worry.

"Thank you Hannah." Ginny said, "Draco, are you alright?"

"I. Hannah. You." Draco couldn't string the words together as he sat in the chair stunned.

"Draco, love, why don't you read to me." Ginny said as she threw his journal to him. Draco just nodded, still stunned and opened the book.

"'Its not like we ever even got along, exclude a few good times, but she's what I think about the most. It's like she's screaming inside my head. I wish I knew what she was doing, what she was thinking about, and if it was me. I can't stop thinking of that kiss. It was so innocent.

I wonder what else about her is that innocent, but she is a married woman now and I know it.

Now that I am out of Azkaban, I think back often on the times I was in there. The cracking nine tails, the Crucio, the evil; I could never go back. The things I lived, I only lived once.

I have decided that my path is not destined to look back anymore. My path is ahead of me, waiting to be lived. Ginevra Weasley is no longer an option. She is apart of my hated past.

Azkaban can fuck me, because they will never see my arse again. I'll kill myself before I relive that.

Dumbledore is no longer hated, but not forgiven.

Mother, I forgive your sorry arse. Now bloody leave me alone. Let my conscience rest.

Father, you can rot in hell you sorry mother fucker. I hope you're burning, you skin on fire and melting, your hair scorched, and that ugly smirk beaten from your ugly face. I don't forgive you, and my only wish is that I could have seen you die you bastard.

Harry Bloody Potter, who gives a fuck about you.

Weasley clan. Enough said.

Every other wizard, screw yourself.

I'm sick of this journal and the things it contains, I'm sick of living in this hotel. I want to go live my life instead of hiding out.

Yesterday it was publicly announced that I was pardoned "three" days before. The minister of magic apologized and I am to receive ten thousand galleons. Imagine that.

I told them to put it in a fund labeled Malfoy's Future Kids. They did so and now I only need to have a couple kids.

Mission one- Find woman suitable to marry

Mission two-Marry her

Mission three- Have her have kids

Mission four- Stop writing in this book

I think, now that everything has been said and done, the only thing I regret is not making love to Weasley chit when I had the chance. Too bad I'm done with regrets.

I find myself tiring of this writing, these memories. I shall leave this book in my library, for future Malfoy's to see what it was like for me, what my life did to the Malfoy name, how the Potter feud began; as surely it will continue, and to show the future generations that a Malfoy can love; even if the love is never returned.

I leave you here Ginevra, as I cannot have you. I love you Ginevra and my love will stay forever.'" Draco closed the book and stared at Ginny.

She was eating as if he hadn't read anything remotely important. Ginny stopped with the spoon in mid air and looked at him.

"Tell me you didn't leave it like that. Tell me it ends happily ever after. That he gets the girl." Ginny said.

"He doesn't get the girl. It doesn't end happily ever after." Draco told her throwing the book at the wall.

"Then the story isn't finished." Ginny replied as she continued to nibble at her soup.

"I think it is finished." Draco slumped in his chair.

"It can't be." Ginny said nonchalantly.

"How can you be so sure?!" Draco yelled at her. Ginny looked at him sadly.

"It can't be over. He said he would love the girl forever and the girl told him she loved him. How could it be over?" Ginny asked in a questioning voice.

Draco stared at her for a moment. Then he stood and carefully walked over to her.

"Repeat that last line." He said.

"How could it be over??" Ginny replyed. Draco shook his head smiling.

"No, that other thing."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ginny said smiling with him. Draco nodded and bent down, kissing her on the lips softly. Ginny pulled him further down and kissed him deeper.

"You heard me the first time Malfoy." Ginny whispered on his lips. Draco grinned and nodded.

"That I did."

..........

Terry Boot growled in pain as he crawled over to the fireplace set dead center of his home. He pulled himself off of the floor, leaning on the couch for support. Terry walked unsteadily over to the mantle, and grabbed the floo pot.

His face was badly beaten and dried blood filled his hair and clothes. He wasn't sure if it was Ginny's blood or his own, and to be frank, it didn't matter to him.

Throwing in the entire pot, and falling to his knees, he stuck his head into the fire calling for 'Harry Potter'.

"Yes?" Harry answered.

"It's me, Terry. I need you to get over here quick. I've found Ginevra." Terry told Harry, who in turn nodded.

Terry moved back as Harry stepped into his home.

"Merlin! Terry! What happened to you!?" Harry asked.

"That son of a bitch Draco Malfoy! He had Ginevra! She had escaped and came here, but Malfoy found out. He was livid! He stormed into my house and beat me up, said he would rather die than let her be with me. He was mad Harry." Terry told him. Harry nodded and looked at Terry.

"How long ago was this?"

"A few days. He used the Crucio on me. I couldn't move." Terry said leaning on the couch and letting a fake tear escape his eye. "I just want my Princess back."

Harry nodded and stepped back towards the fire.

"Don't worry Terry. I'll take care of it." Harry stepped into the fire and went back to the ministry.

He walked into the Minister of Magic's office and closed the door.

"I found her, and now I need you to trust me." Harry said.

"Where is she Harry?" Arthur asked. His baby had been missing, and he had not seen her for so long.

"Draco Malfoy's house. He kidnapped her and from the look Terry had when he told me, Draco isn't holding her ransom. Merlin knows what he has done already. You have to let me and my team, go get him. Lock him up in Azkaban where his sorry arse belongs." Harry lectured, Arthur nodding and signing a slip of paper.

"Harry, be careful, that's my baby." Arthur said as Harry walked out of his door.

"Sir, I have the best team, we'll bring her home to you." Harry said as he quickly marched out of the office and into his own.

"Get ready team, we're on go." Harry said, picking up his knife and gun.

"Who's green Potter?" Dean Thomas asked. Harry smiled wickedly.

"Green is Malfoy, Red is Ginny." Harry explained. The team nodded. Together they made ten men, ready for battle.

"Malfoy Palace on three." Harry said. Someone counted down, and they all apparated at once.

............

Hannah and three other elves burst into Draco's room at once.

"MEN! Master men! They are armed and they are breaking in. Shouting for Mrs. Malfoy!" Hannah screeched.

Draco shot up from the chair he had been sitting in as Ginny rested and immediately began giving orders.

"Ginny is to remain in this room. Seal all entrances and exits with your magic. I don't want them to get her, she'll die if she goes with them. Use your magic for whatever you need to do to keep them away from her." Draco said.

The elves began to cry as they magically sealed all of the exits but one. Draco looked over to the fully awake and scared Ginny. He smiled softly at her as he kissed her lips.

"Whatever happens, you stay in this room." Draco told her. Ginny nodded and began to cry.

"I love you Draco Malfoy." She whispered. Draco smiled nervously at her and looked at the door.

"I know you love me too, now just go." Ginny told him. He nodded and left, the door sealing behind him. The elves would take care of Ginny, he knew it, yet he worried for her.

"HAND HER OVER MALFOY!" A deep voice called out into the hallway. Draco recognized the voice and looked behind him.

"Harry Potter! What a surprise! When did you arrive? Would you care for any tea?" Draco asked pleasantly. He glanced to his right but his bedroom door was gone.

"I came for Ginevra Weasley." Harry spat. "Where the hell do you have her?"

"Fuck you Potter; I don't have a Weasley in my house." Draco told Harry.

"You're coming with me to the Ministry to answer some questions, here's a warrant; we're searching your house." Harry threw the warrant at Draco and stunned him.
