Chapter Seventeen
Draco could almost hear himself, making snide remarks at the touching moment.
'That's just great. Why don't you kiss her as well!? Oh bloody FANTASTIC! What a touching moment with the Weasel.' Draco imagined his sixteen year old self saying to him. He almost laughed as he pulled Ginny closer.
"Ginny, I love you, I really do." Draco whispered to her. It was deep into the night and Ginny had long ago fallen asleep, but for whatever reason, Draco could not sleep.
He gently kissed her temple and stood from the bed, putting on a pair of pajama bottoms. Slowly he went to the bedroom door and yanked on the handle, only to find it wouldn't budge.
"You locked it. Now come back to bed." Ginny murmured. Draco smiled and nodded, making his way back over to her.
"You're so clever." He whispered into her hair.
"Clever enough to remember you locking a door. Ah, yes. I see my own brilliance." Ginny said sarcastically as she fell back asleep.

Harry approached Fred's house cautiously, keeping an eye out for the psycho Boot. He banged on Fred's door and waited until the tall redhead answered.
"Hey-ya Harry!" Fred said enthusiastically. He held out his hands and put on a said face. "Alright, I'm ready! TAKE ME AWAY POTTER! Or have you just come to question me?"
Harry gave a laugh and pushed into Fred's house. Fred closed the door and smiled at Harry.
"Well, I did come to question you. Could you take us to a quiet room?" Harry asked. He put a little more emphasis on quiet.
"Gotcha chief." Fred said as he led the way down into his laboratory. Once down in the dimness of the laboratory, Harry cast a silencing charm, then checked his foe glass. Once all of the precautions were checked he turned back to Fred.
"When did Ginny last come by here?" Harry whispered, despite the silencing charm.
"Oh I'd say a few months ago." Fred told Harry, who in turn rolled his eyes.
"Don't lie to me Fred. I know things that would make your stomach curl. Now, did she come by here before or after Malfoy escaped?" Harry questioned.
"Before, and she's the one that freed him. Harry, I think Draco Malfoy moved up on my list. You should hear what he did for her." Fred answered.
"I know. Do you know about Terry?" Harry asked. Fred's face hardened and he nodded.
"Yes, I do."
"Did you tell anyone else?" Harry asked.
"No, I didn't. I didn't think it was my place." Fred told him looking down. Harry gave a nod then a wicked smile.
"I think it's time the Weasley Twins reunited and kicked some Boot ass." Harry told him. Fred got a evil grin on his face and began to move around the laboratory.
"Yes, I believe you would be correct. I mostly gave Ginny things that were too dangerous to go on the shelf so I'm half way out of those, but I just invented some pretty brutal things. They haven't been tested." Fred added with a large smile.
"Where is George?" Harry asked.
"He's in his room. You know, down the hall to the right. Knock before you enter...he gets rather touchy when he is interrupted." Fred said with a snicker.
"Alright." Harry said.
.....
Terry paced in his home as the morning drew near. He had watched as Harry Potter had left the Malfoy house, and quickly went to the Weasley Twins manor. He was up to something and had to be stopped.
Terry let out a sigh and got dressed for the new day, making sure he looked displeased and worried. Today he had a meeting with the press to discuss his feelings on the escape of Draco Malfoy.
Quickly he walked down to the apparition point outside of his house and apparated to the Ministry. He walked down the Ministry halls, and over to the check in center. The lady gave him a sympathetic look as he turned and headed towards the conference room.
Immediately as he walked in, tons of reporters of every publishing paper and every radio station crowded him. Terry gave a weak smile and went up to the podium.
"Hello, thank you for coming today. I just want to express my gratitude to all of the people who helped look for Ginevra. It is such a sad thing to happen to a woman as great as her. If she was here today, I know she would want us to focus on her living part of her life and not the death of her life.
"As for Draco Malfoy, he did what he thought was right in his mad mind. I do not blame him but I most certainly would like to see him back where he belongs!" Terry let out a sob and wiped a tear from his face. "If anyone has any information, please contact me. Thank you."
Terry walked off of the stage and out of the room. He began to wipe his face angrily as he stepped into the lavatory. As soon as he set foot into the bathroom, he was ambushed, as things were shoved into his mouth and he was beat down. As quick as the attack came, it was gone.
"MERLIN! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?" The voice of Harry Potter asked. He grabbed Terry and yanked him up quickly, pulling his arm out of place.
"OUCH POTTER!" Terry yelled. He grabbed onto his shoulder that was at an odd angle and gave Harry a dirty look.
"Are you alright?" Harry questioned. Terry narrowed his eyes.
"Fine." Terry told him. Harry gave him a weird look before washing his hands and leaving quickly.
......
Harry met back up with the twins in his office, where they all promptly began to laugh.
"OH Merlin! He had horns, hooves, and a devil tail! OH MERLIN! THAT WAS BLOODY GREAT! His skin even was red! You can't be selling that to children!" Harry gasped out as he looked at the laughing twins.
"No, that's from our revenge stock. We don't sell that...exactly. See, he won't be changing back for a bit...maybe a week or so?" The twins laughed.
After a good thirty minutes of side splitting laughter the twins and Harry sobered up.
"It still doesn't pay for what he did." George said shaking his head.
"Yeah." Fred added.
Harry nodded too and they all became silent in the room.
"We have to tell the family." George said. "We can't have him using anyone for bait if Ginny is still alive."
Harry nodded and they all made way to the apparition point.
