Chapter 18

"Bridget! How nice to see you again, let me go get Colin for you, he's ready to see Ginny, probably as much as you do." Mr. Creevey said smiling.

"Thanks, Mr. C!" Bridget sat on the familiar couch that Colin, Bridget, and Ginny had sat upon before Ginny had lost her memory. Distant memories of the best friendship she'd ever had, and now there was a possibility that it would never return. The doctors had said that Ginny had turned for the worse; there was a very big possibility that Ginny may never re-gain her memory. Neither Bridget nor Colin knew if Ginny had any memories come to her, because even though she knew who they were she wouldn't confide in them. Then again if Bridget had lost her memory and didn't recognize hardly anyone, she'd probably not confide in anyone either. Dennis had been at some kind of camp all summer, but Colin had said Dennis went every year.

"Bridget," Colin said as he took a deep breath in.

"Colin?" He was acting weirdly. "Are you okay? You seem...out of breath?"

"Uh yeah, I had to run down the stairs. I was afraid that you'd leave to go to Ginny's if I took so long."

Bridget giggled, "Colin, why would I leave you? I know you want to see her as badly as I do."

"Uh, I don't know. I'm not thinking...ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Bridget moved towards the Floo Powder to Floo to The Burrow.

"Where's Susan?"

Bridget turned around, "Susan?" Colin nodded. "She stayed at home."

"Is she never going to go see Ginny? I thought she liked Ginny?"

"She does, but Colin you have to understand, Susan doesn't hardly talk to anyone. She's fighting her own demons inside of her. She still blames herself for Draco killing his father. No matter how many times I try to tell her it was romantic, and that he was doing it because if he didn't she'd be dead. But, you know Susan she's so stubborn."

"Yes, I have noticed that...all you Potters have it."

"If you don't want a knuckle sandwich, Creevey, you better shut it!" She raised her fist, and then bust out into giggles.

"Slytherin on the outside, total Gryffindor on the inside."

"I resent that," She said for him to know.

"Yeah, whatever. Can we go?"

"Hey, you're the one that stopped me."

***

"Draco, you go first." Brendan said handing the Floo powder to Draco. 'Shit.' Draco said to himself, he couldn't remember what he was supposed to say to get to the Evans' Parlor Room. He just remembered the Floo connection to Susan's room. 'Well, everyone is supposed to be going to the Weasleys' house for Ginny coming home; she's probably there, not even at home.' "Salem Witch trials." Draco went down the Floo Network that he knew so well.

"Did he just say 'Salem Witch trials?'?" Harry asked unsure of what he'd heard.

"Yes, he did." Padma said smiling. "Why, what's wrong Harry?"

"It's just that's not the Floo word for the Parlor, he's going to Susan's room."

I don't remember feeling like this... Baby...Baby I love you...Baby...Baby I love you. I got this Jones forming in my bones (From a man) Who indeed took over my soul, (understand) I couldn't breathe if he ever said (He would leave), Get on my knees till they bloody red, (Baby please) See I don't know if you get it yet, (Just don't know) He's like my lighter to my cigarette, (Watch me smoke) I never knew another human life (Didn't know) Can have the power to take over mine, So baby, baby.

"Welcome home, Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley said excitingly as she brought her daughter in to the home that she hadn't been in for weeks and the home she didn't remember.

"Yeah...er...thanks mum." Ginny said looking around the place, it really didn't look much. The brother that she was explained to be her brother, Ron, the one before her came up and hugged her.

Then said, "Hey Gin." Ron noticed that she was looking around the house. "Well, Gin. It might not be much, but its home."

Ginny realized he must have noticed her looking around at the house, "Yeah, it would be. It's comfy and nice, from the magazines I've read it seems like a home, and not just a house."

"GINNY!" The twins Fred and George came running down the stairs that were coming out at the entrance of the kitchen. Though, she couldn't tell which one was which...they looked exactly the same. They charged after her with Ginny fearing for her life, and they picked her up and started spinning her around and around in the air, and she couldn't help but start to laugh. It a smile on all their faces to hear her laugh, she hadn't laughed since she entered the hospital. It must have been music to Bridget and Colin's ears, because when they entered they saw the scene going on and they both looked at each other and started laughing too. They finally put her down facing the fireplace; she walked towards them and leaned into Bridget's ear.

"Is this really my home?" Bridget nodded. "All of these people I'm related to?" Bridget nodded again, and then Ginny gave Bridget and Colin a hug. "Thanks for coming you guys.

They pulled back and Ginny noticed Bridget's eyes go to someone else, so Ginny turned around was looking a burly headed boy she did not recognize. "Am I related to you, also?" The entire room started to laugh, and the boy chuckled a little too.

"No, Ginny. My name is Oliver Wood, I was a sixth year the year you came to Hogwarts...do you remember Hogwarts?" Ginny shook her head no. "Ahh, okay. Anyways, I'm hear to watch out for your family and yourself, okay?"

"Alright, but who looks after your family and you?" Ginny said getting a little confused.

This time Oliver's chuckle was a forced one, a kind of nervous chuckle. "Well, Ginny...no one."

"Why does no one look after you?"

"My family doesn't need protection...."

"So why does mine?"

"Ginny, dear." Mrs. Weasley took Ginny's attention away from Wood. "Ron made some lemonade, it's your favorite, and would you like some?"

"Sure, mum."

Ginny turned back to Oliver to question him some more and Mrs. Weasley continued. "Why don't you join me in the kitchen? Colin, Bridget, and yourself..." She looked around the room. "Why don't we all have some nice lemonade, until Harry joins us?"

"Harry?" Ginny asked turning her face back to Mrs. Weasley. "Who's Harry?"

"A family friend," Mrs. Weasley said shortly.

"Do we have any pictures of him?"

Mrs. Weasley was really trying to avoid the subject of Harry, also. The doctor had said that they shouldn't try and force Ginny's memory back. If she asked questions that hurt her in the past to try and avoid them. "Do you have any?" Ginny asked, she really seemed like she wanted to know who he was.

"Uh, yes." Mrs. Weasley turned to the table next to the sofa-couch, and there was one of Ginny and Harry over the Christmas Holidays, Mrs. Weasley picked it up.

Ginny took it and watched Harry and herself laughing and in the middle of a tickling competition against each other. "He seems fun," Ginny smiled not taking her eyes away from the picture.

"Yes," Adora said very slowly. "You two were very close." Adora had now stepped out of the fireplace, and using Adora's Seer powers, she could tell that picture was of Ginny and Harry...from when? She wasn't that advanced yet, but her powers were defiantly growing.

"We were?" Ginny said excitingly still not taking his eyes from the picture frame, but then a sad look came upon her face. She looked up at Adora, "Why can't I remember him?" Ginny backed up so far that she fell on to the couch.

"Ginny?" Adora asked getting closer to Ginny. "What's wrong, Ginny are you okay?"

Everyone went on the other side of the couch to see what was wrong with Ginny. She looked up at Adora with tears in her eyes and muttered, "Why?"

***

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (Baby I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, bay I love it when I hear ya name, Got me sayin' Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (Baby I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

See, I could never feel alone with you (In my life) I gave up everything I own for you (Won't think twice) Almost a shame how I'm mesmerized (Such a shame) I loose my thought looking in your eyes (I know why) Because your kisses make my lips quiver and (That's real) And when you touch me my whole body shivers (I can feel) Now, I can see how another life (Another life) Could have the power to take over mine cause you're my.

Susan had finally made an attempt to get herself out of bed, it was a big step. She'd been blaming herself for weeks, for the death of Lucius Malfoy. Adora, Arabella, Bridget, Ron, and Hannah had all told her she was crazy...that it wasn't her fault. That Draco had a choice between his father, who didn't give a damn about him, only that he'd carry on the Malfoy blood line; or Susan, one of the only people that actually made him happy. Susan had gotten out of bed, taken a shower, blow dried her hair (as she couldn't point her wand at it and dry it, because she wasn't at school), gotten dressed, and now began to apply on a little make-up the muggle way. Some times she liked doing things the muggle way, but some things totally needed to be magic only. Susan guessed the only reason she was going through all of this trouble was because today was Ginny's day to go back to The Burrow, and she would like to see Ginny after all. Poor thing was lost in a world, which she now knew nothing about because of damned Death Eaters.

Little tears began to stream down her face, Death Eaters. Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort had ruined her life to no beyond. Her biological parents were dead, her adopted parents and brother were dead, and then not to mention her life was on the line everyday...just because of her surname. Susan was tired, tired of all of this. She began to scream at the top of her lungs, no one was here right now. Bridget and Adora went to the Weasleys, Arabella had taken David to the doctor, for a check-up. Harry was still at camp, and Sirius was at work. So it was only Susan, screaming at the top of her lungs. Screaming at a world she hated, a world that she was famous because of her of surname. Famous because her parents had died, and her brother, herself, and sister had survived. She couldn't stop screaming, her tears had stopped streaming down slowly...they were now pouring and she felt like her tears would never stop.

***

Draco Malfoy was swirling through the many green swirls that were the Floo Network, he instantly felt a stop and his feet had come to the floor. In front of him was his beautiful princess, the gorgeous woman he dreamed of everyday. She was still in such god awful pain. She hadn't noticed his arrival, because she was screaming at the top of her lungs and he knew she had tears coming down her face, even though her back was to him. He set down his bags and ran to her. He ran to Susan, and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close and rested his head on the top of hers, he was about five inches taller than her.

***

As Susan screamed from the top of her lungs and couldn't stop the tears that streamed down her face that she cursed, she felt familiar arms around her waist. Instantly she stopped screaming, and her tears slowed down. Instant butterflies erupted inside of her stomach. She felt him pull her closer, and he rested his head on top of hers. Then moved his head to her shoulder.

"It's okay." He whispered in her ear, she felt little tears going down her face. She was safe, he was here. He turned her around, and gasped. His beautiful princess was in front of him, and she was crying. It broke his heart, and he pulled her closer to him. "I'm so sorry, my beautiful princess. I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you. Please don't hate, just please don't hate me.

***

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (Baby I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I love it when I hear ya name, Got me sayin' Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (Baby I love you) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Baby, I can't see my worth (I can't see) Living here on God's green Earth (God) You don't know what you've done to me (Done to me) I never thought I'd need you desperately (Desperately) It's kind of sick how I'm stuck on you (Stuck on you) But I don't care cause I'm needing you (I'm needing you) And how I feel will remain the same (Remains the same) Cause you're my baby (Cause you're my baby)

***

Susan looked up and saw Draco, the only person she thought about twenty- four, seven. Very slow tears were still slowly flowing down. Draco whipped the tears away from her face, "Please don't hate me, Susan. Please, don't. I love you, but I'll leave if you want me to." Draco kissed her forehead, and pulled away from her. Went across the room to get his bags, and to walk to the room he shared with Harry. He stopped in front of her, "Tell Arabella and Sirius that I'll get a flat of my own as soon as they want me to." He kept walking, but her hand reached his wrist.

"Don't go," she whispered.

He dropped his bags and turned around, "What?"

"Please stay," she whispered again. Tears of joy swept over her while there was a sweet smile on her face. "Please stay, don't leave me."

"I won't ever leave you." Draco said, looking at her. She sat down on her bed, and motioned for him to sit. "No, I don't want anyone to think we're doing anything that we're not."

"Please sit. Sirius won't be here for another hour, to take you to court." She whispered fearing for the worse. "I may never see you again, if they think you did premeditated murder...that you didn't do it to protect me. I don't want to think about that right now, just please sit down here and hold me."

He did what she asked. Sat upon her bed, right next to her. She put her head on his shoulder and he began to stroke the long lovely auburn hair that she had. She turned to look in his Grey eyes that she loved so much. He gulped, the way she was looking at him scared him. "What's going to happen? Will I ever see you again?"

He smiled a sad smile and kissed her forehead, "I'm not sure myself."

"What made you get rid of him?" She asked afraid of what he might say.

"What do you mean? You were there."

"Just tell me, please. I've been having the worst nightmares." She leaned back into his shoulder.

"I got rid of father, for you. I was afraid I'd lose you, I couldn't bare it. I got rid of father to save your life."

She sat up and looked at him, "I'll testify for you."

"No."

"Why not? You saved my life, now I want to save yours."

"Susan, please you ca..." She leaned in to kiss him and their lips touched. They'd both forgotten how much of a rush they'd gotten from kissing each other.

Draco pulled back, "I don't understand. When I left, you hated me, you thought me a monster."

"No, Draco. I hated me. I was mad at myself, because I'd made you kill your father."

"You didn't make me do anything," he said cradling her face in his hands. "I got rid of him to save the only one I love." This time he leaned in to kiss her.

Adora sat down next to Ginny couldn't understand what she had done to upset Ginny so much. "Ginny," she sat down beside her. "Ginny, what's wrong? What did I do?"

"You visit me in my dreams. You're the one that shows me the things I see, every time."

"Things?" Adora asked uncertain of what Ginny was talking about.

"I see these things. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. You help me get to them, and Cassie helps me get out when they get to uncomfortable."

"Cassie? You remember Cassie?"

"Well, at first I didn't. But, after a while it started to come back. I usually see things from the future, I'd guess. Because, we're all a lot older."

"Like what?!" Bridget got excited and sat down on the other side of Ginny.

"Well, there was this one time. It was actually the first time I started having them again. We were all so much older, and there was this red- headed girl and she was pregnant and saying if she didn't find Bree that..."

"NO!" Adora screamed, she'd had this vision many times before. "Ginny no! You can not speak anymore."

"Why not?"

"We have visions, but we are not to tell other people about them."

"I'm suppose to keep them to myself?!"

"No Ginny. You can come to me and tell me about them, because I have them too. But, you can not tell anyone else...okay?"

"Alright."

"Well, that was interesting." Mrs. Weasley said, "Now, why don't we all go get some lemonade." They all followed Mrs. Weasley, but Ginny was the last one to leave. She heard a funny noise in the fireplace and turned to see who it was..."

"Ginny?!" Harry came through the fireplace dropped his bags and ran to her and rapped his arms around her, tightly hugging him. He pulled back and looked at the beautiful red-headed angel in front of him. "Oh, Ginny. How I've missed you!" Ginny looked at him funny, and it him like ice-cold water running down him. Harry stepped back, "That's right...you don't remember me."

"I've seen you before," Ginny said and Harry was hopeful. "In my visions, you're my husband in my visions. Oops! I wasn't suppose to tell anyone about that, Adora told me not to tell anyone!"

Harry chuckled at her, "It's okay. You can ask Adora, I bet it's alright to tell me."

"Why is that?" Ginny asked him really confused.

"Because," Harry sat down and motioned for her to sit with him. "We use to be together, we use to be very much in love."

"We are in the future too, and we have kids too. Do you want to know how many?"

"See, Ginny. That kind of stuff you don't tell me...okay?" She nodded.

"Only bad things you see, you tell me."

"Like Voldemort?"

"Ginny, yes." Harry was worried about her now. "What have you seen about Voldemort?" He placed a hand on her shoulder and she gasped deeply as another vision was approaching her.
