Chapter Sixteen: Weasley's to the Rescue!
Draco groaned, 'Where am I?' he thought as he stood up. He looked around and the first thing he noticed was the place he was located at was a dungeon. As he continued to look around the room his eyes landed on....
"GINNY!"
Ginny jumped up and looked around frantically, "What? Draco where are you?"
"Over here." He shouted. Soon; Sylvia, Blaise, and Harry were awake. Pansy was still sleeping. Deep sleeper. Sylvia, Blaise and Harry ran over to where Draco was. The four (Draco, Sylvia, Blaise and Harry) were in the cell next to Ginny's, but they were two feet apart.
When Ginny's eyes landed on them, she ran over to the bars that were closets to them. "Draco. Sylvia. Blaise. Harry. What are you guys doing here?"
"We tried to save you, but Pansy double crossed us." Harry explained.
"What are you talking about? Pansy didn't double you. She was here the whole time."
"What? No Pansy was with us." Draco argued.
"Hold on!" Sylvia shouted, "Ginny, do you know what happened while you were in here?"
Ginny nodded, "Of course," She moved over to the side to reveal Pansy sleep on the floor. "PANSY, told me."
The residents in the other cell opened and closed there mouths like gaping fish. "But, but, but." Draco kept repeating. Ginny giggled, "Yes, Draco. Your wife didn't lure you here. Someone else did."
"And that someone is me." A voice said. The five of them were so wrapped up in there conversation they hadn't heard the door open. They couldn't see the owner of the voice. It sounded like a female though. She chuckled, "I thought that everyone would've noticed that was acting Pansy very bad, but no one noticed."
The person stepped out of the shadows and everyone gasped, "Angelina Johnson!" Immediately, everyone started demanding why they were locked up. "Excuse me? Is this anyway to treat your host?" Jason asked coming through the doors.
"What the hell is going on here Jason?" Draco asked.
Jason held up both his hands, "Whoa there tiger, I'll explain everything in a just a moment. Let me get comfortable first." This made Draco along with everyone else a little angry. Draco slammed his fist against the bars making a loud, 'CLANG!' waking Pansy up.
Pansy took one look around the room and noticed that Harry's plan had backfired. She put her head in her hands as Jason made a chair appear. He sat down on it comfortably and made another chair appear, "Here Angelina, sit."
"Ok, where shall we begin?" Jason questioned playfully, "Oh yes, after Pansy babysat Ron's twins. But I first I have to tell you that I put SZU's, camera's incased in invisible bubbles, all over the Zambini's and Ginny's home..."
After a two hour explanation Jason was exhausted. "Tell stories are really taking a large bite out of me." He stood up and stretched.
"But you still haven't told us who the Pansy with us was." Blaise asked. Sylvia nudged him and tilted her head towards Angelina. Ginny and Sylvia had long figured it out. Once Angelina stepped into the room they knew. The real Pansy Parkinson was being locked up with Ginny while Angelina played decoy Pansy. Sylvia mentally smacked herself; she should have figured it out sooner.
"The one and only Angelina Johnson played the Pansy who was with you all. The real Pansy was with Ginny." Jason said in a bored tone.
"What do you plan to do with us?" Draco asked.
Jason and Angelina laughed, "We're going to kill you of course."
The men tensed up. Ginny bit her lip; this was all of her fault. "Jason, take me instead. Leave my friends alone. They didn't do anything to you; it was me." Ginny said hoarsely. Jason pouted and walked up to Ginny. He leaned over to touch her, but she backed away. He shrugged, "I can't kill you. I love you and the reason I'm killing all of your beloved friends is because I want you to realize that friends aren't going to be the ones to love you. It's me."
"Shut the fuck up!" Draco shouted along with Harry and Blaise.
"Ginny, listen to me; Jason is playing mind games on you. Do not let him get to you. We love you. That's why we are here. We're here to save you, please believe us." Sylvia pleaded.
Jason shot an angry look at Sylvia and opened Ginny's cell. He pulled her out and she didn't fight him. She let him take her away to another part of the dungeons with Angelina following close behind. "I swear Jason. You do anything to her and I'll kill you with my own bare hands." Draco shouted.
Once Jason, Ginny and Angelina were out of site Sylvia broke down into tears. Blaise bent down and held her. Draco and Harry were both wrapped in there own feelings and thoughts. Draco's: he was angry and he was thinking of ways to rip Jason apart; while Harry was feeling ashamed. He led a group of people into danger and he was the one who should die and not anyone else. He was just so excited that he was getting to be a hero again that he hadn't thought everything through.
Ginny left an hour ago and hasn't come back. Everyone was beginning to worry. Sylvia paced the cell mumbling to herself.
"You don't think that she would actually listen to Jason, do you?" Pansy asked Sylvia.
"I'm not sure. I mean I haven't seen her in years, for all I know she could come back turned into a zombie." Sylvia whispered.
"You all have little faith in your best friend." Jason said as he put Ginny back in the cell.
Ginny stumbled over her own two feet and almost hit the ground, but Pansy caught her. "What did you do to her?" Draco demanded. Jason laughed, "See for yourself." Draco, Sylvia, Blaise and Harry all slowly turned their head to face Ginny. Sylvia gasped, "Oh Ginny."
Ginny's face was...horrible. She had scratches, cuts and bruises all over. They couldn't even begin to image how her body looked like.
Draco was furious to say the least, he was shaking all over and his fists were clenched. Sylvia placed a hand on his arm to calm him, but it made no difference. She sighed and walked over to the corner of cell where Ginny was closest to her.
"Hey Ginny." She whispered.
Ginny groaned in response.
"Do you want to tell me what he did?"
Ginny closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "He beat me." Sylvia nodded and stood up. She walked over to Draco and put a hand on his shoulder, "I think you should go to talk to Ginny. She needs you now." He looked over to her and clenched his jaws together. 'I hate him. I'm going to rip him apart.' He thought as he walked over to the corner that Sylvia was sitting at not long ago.
Draco sat with his back against the bars, not facing Ginny because he didn't trust himself not to touch her. Ginny sat with her back against the wall though, looking forward. After a few moments of silence she mumbled, "I'm sorry." If Draco hadn't been pay close attention to her, then he wouldn't have heard. He smiled and said, "Its ok."
He knew what she was apologizing for. Ginny was apologizing for how she treated him at school their her last year . "Do you think we could try again?" Ginny asked. That question was the question that he had been avoiding since he saw Ginny again. Of course he wanted to try to form a relationship with her, but what about Emily.
Emily was the first thing that came to Draco's mind before anything. He loved his daughter too much to let anything happen to her. If she didn't approve of his going out with a certain woman, then he wouldn't go out with her. A woman would always be some woman to Draco, but his daughter had become his world.
Draco closed his eyes and replied, "I'm not sure. I have Emily to take care of now and I might not-"
"Oh, well don't worry about than." Ginny interrupted. She bit her lip. Her chance was gone; the light that lit her way was burned out.
"I'm sorry." Draco said softly as he slowly drifted into a deep slumber.
Pansy, Sylvia, Blaise, Harry and Jason had watched the whole thing. Each and every one of them had their own opinions about it. Pansy felt disappointed; Sylvia felt depressed; Harry felt- well he didn't know how he felt. Blaise felt angry, yet he knew that Emily was everything to Draco and if she didn't like Ginny then Draco would have nothing to do with her (Ginny). Jason felt overjoyed.
Jason walked over to the cell with Ginny and asked her, "I'm going to ask you this one last time. Do you want to join me and the Dark Lord?" Ginny looked at him with a wicked smiled and said, "I would rather die then serve either of you." Jason growled.
He unlocked the cell door and grabbed Ginny's by the wrist, "I-"
Out of now where a spell was casted. Jason's body snapped together, dropping Ginny, and fell over backwards flat on his back; leaving the door cell door open. "Hello everyone." A person greeted, and then he stepped out of the shadows. Ginny stood up the fastest she could, "Ron!" She walked over to him and hugged him. He hugged her back and said, "Mom and Hermione and my twins are at the Burrow along with Emily and Paige."
Ginny looked up at him confused, but soon her confused expression turned into wonder as five male Weasleys spilled into the dungeons. Ginny laughed as her favorite big brother, Bill picked her up and swirled her around. He put her down after a few turns and faced their father. "Dad, what do you think we should do with him?" He asking looking down at Jason.
Mr. Weasley looked at Bill with an eye brow raise, "What do you think?"
Bill looked at the ground sheepishly. It was clearly obvious that they were going to turn him in to the Ministry. "Um, sorry to interrupt this great family reunion, but we would like to get out too." Sylvia said nervously.
"Oh, I've got it." Pansy said as she crawled over to Jason's paralyzed body and took the keys off the floor and she unlocked the other cell. Sylvia, Harry and Draco walked over to the Weasleys, leaving Pansy behind.
"Aren't there anymore bad guys around?" Ginny asked.
Bill shook his head, "No, we got them all. There wasn't many actually. I guess, Jason didn't want too many people in his house."
"We got that girl that was guarding the door tied up and knocked out." Ron included.
"Angelina Johnson." The six hostages said in unison.
"Yeah her, some Aurors are in the castle searching for any more of Jason's minions." Mr. Weasley said. "So are we ready to leave now?"
Everyone eagerly agreed and they disapparated. The moment that Draco step foot into the Burrow, Emily ran into his arms. "Daddy! I missed you." Draco pouted and held Emily in his arms, "I missed you more." He placed kisses all over her face as she giggled.
Paige ran into her parents arms and kissed then each. "Mommy, Daddy! What took you two so long?"
Blaise picked her up and said, "Well, we had a meeting to attend to, baby."
Ginny slowly walked over to her mother. Mrs. Weasley embraced her daughter tightly. "Oh Ginny. I missed you so much."
"I miss you too mom." Ginny whispered holding back tears. Pansy had told her that she had removed the spell. Ginny was so happy once she heard the news. The whole Weasley family had a group hug and Mr. Weasley had a great idea come to his mind, "Molly lets have a party. Molly go make dinner while we entertain." He winked at his seven children and the eight of them sped off.
"Welcome children!" Fred greeted as he stood on a stool. They had decided that the adults would do a show for the children, with the props they had at home without transfiguring them to anything because they wanted the children to use their imagination. After the adults were finished it was the children's turn and then they would have an all around talent show.
The adults had a little circus. Draco and Blaise were two fighting lions; Harry and Ron was the lion tamer who got his head bitten off by Draco; Pansy, Hermione, Katie Bell (Fred's wife), Megan Giver (George's wife), Sylvia and Ginny were cheerleaders that got in the way of the circus; Fred and George were the cannonball twins.
When they were complete with their show, each one of them bowed and the children got on stage. Their was Ron's twins, Fred's two daughters and son, George's twins, Draco's daughter, and Blaise and Sylvia's daughter. Their show was complete chaos; it was hilarious to the adults to see their child running around.
Before the talent show, dinner was severed. It took a while for the children to get settled down, but they did eventually. Molly decided to have them eat outside in the backyard because the kitchen would not have fit them all. The women set the table as the men set up the tables.
When they were finished the women started piling dishes on the tables. There was two children's table and three adults table. Just as Ginny set her last dish on the table she was pulled aside by Draco.
He took her to a far tree where no one would be able to hear them. Draco took a deep breath and let it out and apologized, "Ginny, I am really sorry that we can't be together. I hope you understand why I dejected you."
Ginny smiled sadly and said, "Of course. You have Emily to look after and my chance flew out the window a long time ago."
Draco sighed, "Gin, don't blame yourself for that. We-"
"No, Draco lets not talk about the past. Let's just be friends now."
"I thought that we already were friends."
"Well you know what I mean."
The two laughed and Draco said, "I got two tickets to a muggle theme park. Uh- Universal Studios I think that's what it's called. Would you like to come with me?"
"What about Emily?"
"I'm sure that Blaise and Sylvia can watch her."
Ginny grinned and nodded. "Sure, why not."
The pair of them walked back to the party and sat them selves down. The adults chatted away happily as the children ate and played with their burgers. They were each trying to turn their burgers into something else. During dinner, Draco couldn't help but stare at Ginny. She was surrounded by the people she loved and she was always smiling and laughing.
In the midst of eating, Draco was interrupted by Pansy. "I'm sorry, but would you all excuse Draco and I?"
The Weasley family nodded and Pansy took Draco over to the tree that he and Ginny once occupied. Draco glared at her, "What do you want-"
"Listen Draco. I don't want to fight with you right now. I'm enjoying myself and I don't want you to ruin that for me. I just wanted to tell you that you should really think over you life and Emily's. Where would she be ten years from now? I know that I have been a horrid mother from the start and I want to change that. Tomorrow morning I am going to enroll myself into a rehab center and try to learn more about motherhood. But no matter how much I try I know that I will never be able to get Emily close to me. So I'm going to give her to you."
Draco looked at her confused.
"Draco, Emily will need a mother soon. She's going to need a woman in the manor to help her develop later on. Your chance is right in front of you. Take it. Don't let it slip." With that she went back to her dinner. Draco stood on his spot and bit his lip as he thought.
When Ginny was finished eating dinner she walked over to the children's table and sat in the middle of the group. "What are you all doing?" She asked looking around surprised. Food was everywhere but in their mouths.
"We- we were try to make to a new creation like Uncle Forge and my daddy." Said Devin, Fred's son and the youngest of the group. (He was 1 and a half and still stuttered with words.) Ginny squealed and picked up the little boy and twirled him around then squeezed him. She loved it when he talked. He had the most cutest voice that she ever heard. He screeched loudly for his father to come and take him away. Fred came and glared at his son and sister. "How many times did I have to tell you two not to bully each other around?" Ginny put her nephew down and sat next to Emily.
"Hello Emma. Are you having fun?"
"Yes, loads. The twins are so funny."
The three set of twins turned around and asked in unison, "Which ones?"
Emily giggled and said, "All of you." Then her face fell. Ginny noticed and pulled the four year old into her lap and asked, "What's the matter?"
Emily looked up at Ginny and asked shyly, "Are you and my daddy going to get married and have a lot of babies for me to play with?"
Ginny sat frozen for a few seconds and then started blinking. "Um...baby I think your going to have to ask your daddy about that. Your daddy and you have to decide who you both love and then go from there."
Emily's eyes adverted and she mumbled, "Oh." Ginny kissed Emily and said, "Don't worry about it right now Emma. You can come and play with your friends here anytime you want. You don't even have to ask. Just tell you daddy that you want to talk to me and I'll take you here; ok?"
"Ok." Emily replied excitedly as she jumped up from Ginny, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She repeated and she ran back to her friends to tell them the good news.
Ginny smiled and looked over to Draco to find him staring at her. She got up and walked over to him. "Why didn't you come back to eat?"
Draco shrugged, "I wasn't hungry."
"B.S. Come on, I saved your dish. Lets go."
Draco didn't do anything, but asked in a monotone voice, "what did Emily ask you?'
Ginny smiled and said, "Nothing that concerns you. Now come on the talent show is about to start."
Draco sighed and stood up. 'I just have to ask Emily night.'
"Draco, relax. Everything is going to be just fine. She's not dying." Ginny said. Draco nodded and they went back to the Burrow where they were starting the talent show.
