"Come here, son, I wont hurt you." A middle-aged man with a blonde ponytail was crouched in front of a desk.
"No-no." Sobbed a tiny voice.
"COME OUT HERE! OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Lucius screamed, drawing out an unsheathed dagger from his robe pocket.
"Help me!" The tiny voice came from under the desk again. Ginny gasped, 'Malfoy? This is how his father treats him?'
"DON'T YOU ASK FOR HELP, YOU LITTLE GOOD FOR NOTHING B-" Lucius raised his dagger, ready to plunge it into his son.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU ASSHOLE." Ginny screamed, her wand arm fully extended.
"And what will you do about it, pretty?" Lucius Malfoy turned, eyes glinting with malice. He headed straight at her, the dagger still gleaming in his hand.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" The door swung open revealing a group of burly Aurors led by two men who both reached out and grabbed both the wand and the dagger, which came shooting out of Malfoy Sr.'s pocket and hand. "YOU ARE UNDER ARREST, MALFOY!" Immediately, Lucius' hands and feet were bound with strong invisible ropes.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Lucius Malfoy screamed at Ginny as he was dragged out of the room.
As the aurors led out the cursing man, Ginny turned her attention back to a poor frightened boy, still cowering under a desk where his father had left him. As she got closer, the boy crawled to the other side of the desk.
"Come out, M-Draco. Your dad's gone, no one will hurt you anymore." She reached her hand in, drawing out a small boy with fine blonde hair.
"He-he tried to kill me." The young Draco's eyes filled with tears. "Father hates me now, doesn't he?"
"No, no he doesn't, its not your fault. Your father is a very sick man. He needs help. It's not your fault."
Ginny was softly stroking the featherlight hair when suddenly everything went black, and she felt herself falling through space...
