A/N- Hi everyone! I realised after reading through the first chapter that it did not have a disclaimer! I was absolutely appalled that I could forget such an important thing! So any characters that you recognise belong to J.K Rowling and Darien, Jessica and any other characters you do not recognise belong to ME!!! Song is the same as the first chapter!
Thanks to my wonderful reviewers!
PammaPotter: We'll see if Draco is still alive throughout the chapters!
Babydex: I'm not sure
Nix-Lexus-Octavius: I don't want Draco dead any more than you do! Glad you like it so far!
Londonlover: Thank you for the praise! Very much appreciated!
Now, onto the story!
Broken
Chapter 2
I wanted you
to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna
hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know
it serves me well
I wanna
hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am
strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm
lonesome
And I don't feel light when
you're gone away
The worst is over now and we
can breathe again
I wanna
hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn,
and no one left to fight
I wanna
hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am
strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm
lonesome
And I don't feel right when
you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am
strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm
lonesome
And I don't feel light when
you're gone away
A key is heard rattling in the lock, as Darien struggles to open the door. A scraping sound alerts Darien to the fact that the door has finally come unlocked!
"Mum?"
"In here Darien!"
Ginny's voice calls from the bedroom so Darien follows the voice down the hallway and into Ginny's room. As Darien enters, Ginny looks up from the journal she has been writing in.
"Why are you writing in that, Mum?"
"You know how I've always wanted to write down the story of how your father and I got together?"
Darien nods his head, wondering where his mother is heading with this.
"Well… I've finally managed to write it down in this," Ginny holds up the green leather bound journal.
Darien looks at his mother strangely because she has been meaning to write down the story for nearly the whole expanse of his life, which was SIXTEEN YEARS!
"What? Don't look at me that way! I just haven't had the time and you never go out so I thought I would make the most of you being away for the evening and write it down. By the way, how was your evening? Were you polite to Jessica or do I have to send you round to the Potters' to apologise? AGAIN!"
"Mother, PLEASE! I only ran away from her once…"
"More like SEVEN times boy!"
"Fine! I ran away from that insipid, annoying know it all, seven times! Happy mum?"
"Yes dear!"
"Right. Now that we have that sorted…"
"Ah… Rien? You didn't tell me how the evening went."
"Oh fine. It went ok. She only tried to kiss me a few times and then she found some of her friends from Hogwarts so she went off with them and I managed to escape back home."
"So, your telling me that you ran away from her for the eighth time? Darien!"
"No mum! I didn't run away from her. She ran away from me!"
"Very well then."
"Mum? Do you think you could read me some of that story that you have in your hand?"
"I don't know Rien…"
"Please Mum? You always said you would tell me one day and you promised if I went out with female Potter that you would tell me."
"If you insist…"
Darien nods his head fiercely.
"Fine. Well it all started when I was out training on the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts during my sixth year…"
A/N- I'll leave it there and in the next chapter the story of how Draco and Ginny got together will be revealed!
