A/N: Woah, how long has it been? Almost a year? Lol, yea I'm bad at that whole update thing, but I promise to get better...I swear, this time NO EXCUSES! Oh yea, I almost forgot, this program doesn't have spell check, so if I spell something wrong...just deal or shove it. I have to say that Salem Academy was not my idea alone, it was Caroline's as well. Hehe, we come up with the most random things.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter...duh. I don't own Converse. I and Caroline own Salem Academy.
Love Hurts: A New Start
Part One: Waking Up
Ginny woke up next to Draco, something she, after all these years was still wary about. She walked over to the balcony, the place where every bad thing in her life started. "If I kept my mouth shut, and pretended that nothing ever happened, or if I had even followed my heart..." She shook her head, it was silly to dwell on the past, there was nothing she could do now. But even after trying to be happy, she wondered if Draco was truly happy, or if he was just trying to give her false hope. She knew in her heart that she could trust no one, that nothing could be the way it was. "Could this be a calling,"she thought"is something inside of me trying to be free?" Ginny looked at the ocean for some kind of hope, but she knew she would find none. She assumed she was looking for that fairy-tale ending, but knew it would never happen, and she also knew someday she would have to tell Raven her true father."Raven,"she spoke her only child's name softly "Raven, please save me from this evil world.."
Ginny walked out of the room and down the stairs, she walked past Raven's room and into the kitchen. She tried to forget about her morning thoughts and make breakfast, but she couldn't keep her mind off it. "After all these years, and suddenly I started thinking about this." She finished making breakfast, set it on the table, and left to get the mail. Right on the top of all the mail was Raven's letter. A thick black envelope with a deep green wax seal with the Salem Academy crest on it. An Eagle, Fox, Deer, and Coyote. She didn't know much about the school, but hoped Raven was put where she belonged best. "Maybe I should have been put in Hufflepuff, I did tend to get walked all over..." She thought for a minute, and relised what a horrible thing she had just said "What was I thinking, all those parties with Fred, George...Herm, Ron, and Harry. If I wasn't so stupid, so nieve, I could have seen beyond the cloud that was being pulled over my eyes...I could have had a fullfilling life, not one so full of twists my heart itself twisted into a mass of confussion." Ginny stopped thinking, she turned her brain off, and began another routine day of lies and deception. "Well, at least Raven doesn't question about her messy black hair..."
Part Two: Facing Fears
Raven and Ginny walked down the cobblestone streets of Gable Alley, the only place in Salem that muggles couldn't see. They went to the American Gringotts, went to Frogdor's wands, where Raven got a 10 1/2 inch willow with a Unicorn hair. She purcashed a solid black owl, that she named Midnight, and got her robes: Solid Forest Green with Gold clasps, the robe was a soft velor with silk lining. Underneath they were to wear what ever they wished."Alright, all we need now is some books and paper" Raven said to Ginny.
"Well is that it? When I was your age, it seemed like forever getting my stuff, but of course my family was so huge."
"Mom, how come we never see your family, and how come you don't talk to anyone one from Hogwarts."
Ginny looked at the ground, she didn't expect this for awhile now...but she knew it was time to face her fear, it was time to tell Raven the truth."Raven, why don't we talk when we get home, it will be easier for me"
"Mom..."
They got home and packed everything in Raven's trunk. Ginny and Draco sat in the living room. "Draco, I think I would like to tell her, alone."
Draco hugged Ginny, he knew that it was impossible to stop her. "Alright, but if you need me, I'll be in the study."
Ginny sat alone for about five minutes just starting at the fire. "Fire...fire...FIREBOLT SCAR" her head was pounding, everything she tried thinking about turned into her haunting past. She thought she'd finally lost it when Raven walked in.
"Did I bother you mom?" Raven sat on the couch across the table.
"Raven, please sit with me." Ginny took a deep breath "Raven, I am sorry that I kept this secret from you for so long but I thought it was for the best. I know that all of your life you have thought that Draco was your father. He's not. It all started when I was in the summer between my sixth and seventh year, I was in love with Harry Potter, and he loved me. But Hermione Granger, my best friend at the time, was jealous of the love we had. she was angry that the only man she ever loved, loved someone else. After feeling like the third wheel for so long, Ron, my brother, agreed to help her, to make Harry hate me. Harry and I of course split up because of the lies that were told. At the time, I didn't know what Hermione and Ron had done, so I continued being their friend. But one night while looking for a quill under the bed, I found the letter in which her and Ron made the plans. Hermione must have dropped the year before and forgot it. I was broken. I didn't know where to turn and near the end of Seventh year after I took the N.E.W.Ts Draco came to Hogwarts and I ran away to Salem with him, at first I thought he wanted to try and give me a better life, but I soon found out, he knew I had found the letter and didn't want me telling Harry. After three years in Salem, I began to have horrible nightmares of death, Hermione contacted me, and we met up here, I thought everything might go back to normal if maybe we talked everything out. I was wrong. Draco lied to me, saying he had to go on a business trip but wound up using a Polyjuice potion to be Harry, to see what I would do if I saw Harry one more time. I was so disraught, I ran...I ran strait into Harry's arms. We had one passionate night, and not to much later I found I was carrying you. I had just turned twenty-three when I became pregnant. After the news, Harry became very possesive of me, and was postive I had gotten back together with Draco. Althought I still loved Draco very much, I would have never done that to Harry. One night while Harry was asleep, I snuck away to Draco, for help on what to do...in the end I turned to Draco, even though I should have worked things out with your father, and I have been with Draco since. So here I am 31 years old and still confused about who I love." Ginny looked into Raven's tear filled eyes. "Raven...please don't hate me, I tried, I tried to do what I could but it seemed everytime I started new something worse happend, like someone horrible is trying to hurt me."
Raven got up and left the room, all her life she thought she had a loving family, but no, it was all a lie. She couldn't believe she had never seen the signs, the wild black hair...the green eyes. "Ugh, I am so stupid...how could I not." She ran to her room and cried herself to sleep.
A/N: I would love to keep writing, but I am so tired...anyway, I hope that post of everything helped a bit...Thanks to Caroline for help with the GIANT speech at the end.
