Chapter 15

Draco made his way down from an appearance he had put in at the common room. People had now taken it upon themselves to ask where he was when he wasn't with them or when he wasn't at meals so he had decided that a few appearances in classes, at meals and in the common room wouldn't hurt.

He was about to start his trek back to the infirmary he wouldn't have to don his cloak until he reached the infirmary hallway so he was considering this another appearance. When Professor Snape left his office. He looked up and saw Draco.

"Ah, Mr. Malfoy I was just on my way to the infirmary to speak with you... please step into my office." he spoke with no real tone or hint of emotion.

Draco raised and eyebrow but followed the teacher back into his office. Severus made his way back over to his desk lighting torches on the way. He waved Draco into the seat opposite his desk and seated himself at his large oak desk, that was currently cover with parchment waiting to be graded.

"Draco, I'm just going to get to the point as I have absolutely no idea how you will take this news," Draco was definitely listening now. "It is also my suggestion no matter how you take the news in here please try to look a little remorseful in the public eye." Ok now not only was Draco listening he was confused.

Snape sighed. "Draco your father... he's dead. He dead last night in a ministry raid on your house." Snape watched the seventeen year old take the news.

Draco blinked several times. "Is my mum, ok?" he asked still no expression dawned his porcelain face.

"Yes she was in Diagon Alley at the time."

Draco blinked several more times and then shrugged. "Is that it?"

Now it was Snape's turn to blink. "Um..yeah I just wanted to tell you before the rest of the school read Monday's prophet."

"Ok. I'm told... can I go now?"

The professor was about to question his student further when there was a knock on the door. The door opened and a chestnut haired honey blonde streaked prefect entered hurriedly.

"Um, professor have you seen-" she began then caught sight of Draco. "Draco there you are!"

"What is it Linda?" Draco asked trying to read her face.

"McGonagall want's to see us in her office it's about Ginny's accident." The sound of Draco's chair scratching the granite stone floor, rang through the potion master's office, without another word they were off down the corridor towards McGonagall's office. It wasn't peculiar to see two prefects, even of different houses, walking down the transfiguration corridor towards McGonagall's office. As she was head of the prefect department in the school. So they didn't bother splitting up and taking different routes to McGonagall's office.

They reached and entered to find Ron, Harry and Hermione all ready there waiting with McGonagall. They looked up at their entrance. Draco closed the door but didn't make his way any further in.

"I knew it." Ron said. "It had to be him." Linda had already made it over to her seat next to Ron and gently pushed him back down in his seat.

"Ron, ssshh, it wasn't him." she sat down.

"Then what is he doing here?"

"You mean he doesn't know?" McGonagall asked. Both Draco and Linda shook their heads.

"Know what?" Ron asked looking from the professor, to Linda, to Draco, back to Linda.

"I think I'll go wait for our last arrival outside." McGonagall said getting up and leaving the room but not before giving both Draco and Linda knowing looks.

They nodded. The door closed.

"Lin, what's going on?" Ron looked at Linda. His eyes widened. "Linda are you and him..." he trailed off.

Linda almost choked on the air in her lungs as she realized what her boyfriend was thinking. "No! Ron No! I'm not with Draco. NO!"

Draco shook hie head hiding a small smirk that appeared on his face at this accusation.

"Believe me Weasley I have much better taste." he said, "No offence Linda your just not my type."

Linda rolled her eyes.

"Then what is it?" Ron asked Linda.

There was an uncomfortable silence but Linda was saved a horrible explanation by McGonagall entering the room followed by...

"You, you did this to my sister?"

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Can it Thomas, we can prove you did it." Linda retorted angrily.

"Why did you do it?" Ron asked.

"I have no idea what your on about, mate." Dean said.

"Don't mate me." Linda held Ron to his seat.

"Mr. Thomas, please sit." McGonagall said stiffly. Dean sat.

"Now Mr. Thomas, I'm not here to listen to you I've already heard you lie to me, because as Miss. Castleton said we can and have already proved you guilty but what I want to know is... why?"

"Why what? What are you on about?"

"Virginia Weasley's accident and the fact that you placed a not only dangerous but illegal Jinx patch on the girl broom while she was in the air causing her to fall fifty feet to the ground."

Dean chuckled. "You really think I did it? You all are more screwed than I thought."

But the next thing that happened none of the Gryffindors saw coming they hadn't even noticed Draco crossing the room but the next thing they knew dean was on the ground holing his nose as Draco shook out the knuckles on his right hand.

"What the hell was that for?" dean said holding his nose.

"Why did you do it?" Linda asked.

"I didn't"

"Why my sister?" Ron asked.

"I didn't"

"Why her?" Ron yelled.

"I did-"

"Why!"

"Because he doesn't deserve her!" the room was silent everyone was watching dean as he rose from the floor. "He doesn't, she's to good for him... and me doesn't even love her he's just using her, she's just another notch in his bedpost. Another conquest, another fling. I mean he walks around the school like he's so high and mighty flaunting it, flaunting her, in my face. I couldn't take it."

Draco couldn't believe it. "Then take it up with me face to face, snake to lion... man to mouse."

Dean lunged at Draco who would have moved had Ron not stopped Dean with his fist. Linda Hermione and Harry had a time separating the two.

"Impedimenta!" McGonagall bellowed over the din. The pile of students was thrown backwards. She huffed straightened her robes, taking a deep calming breath she began to talk. ""Now, Ms. Granger, I hope I can trust you to safely escort Mr. Thomas to the Infirmary for his injuries and then Straight to the headmaster's office for his punishment."

Hermione glared at Dean pulling out her wand pointing straight at him. "Of course you can Professor... but I can't promise he won't 'trip' down a flight of stairs... or two."

"I didn't hear that." McGonagall said. Hermione escorted Dean out into the hall as the door closed you could hear Dean's yelps as Hermione poked him with her wand. A silence hung over the room as new minds processed the information that had just been shouted at them.

Ron turned to face Draco. "You... and my sister." he said weakly but as though he was calculating something in his mind. Draco nodded. "And you knew" he turned to Linda.

She nodded sorrowfully. "I'm sorry Ron Ginny made me promise not to tell anyone."

"-But I'm her brother... and your boyfriend"

"I know and I feel awful but..." she tried to put her hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off.

"Don't touch me." he said quietly but even the softest words can cut like a knife. Harry put a hand around his friends shoulder's giving linda a 'give it time' look as they left.

Linda sank into a chair letting silent tears fall from her eyes and run down her cheeks. Draco stepped out of the shadows.

"My boyfriends isn't talking to me because of you, I should hate your guts," she sniffled. "But I'm not. I pity you because my love will get over it. I mean it's Ron I've known him since I was like four... but Gin, gin's not even here for you." She got up and left.

It was dark and she couldn't move... she hated the dark. It felt kinda like she trapped underwater. And people kept on talking to her but she couldn't reply. She recognized a few, Ron, Linda, Harry, Hermione, but one in particular was what was keeping her listening.

But she hadn't heard it in a while.

There it was again there was someone calling her name why did they keep doing that she was right here she hadn't moved... until now.

Ginny opened her eyes, she was gasping for breath. Trying to get all she could before it went away again. Her vision swam into focus there seemed to be a red cabbage floating in front of her.

She blinked and rubbed her eyes. Her brother's head swam into focus. His face full of surprise. Next thing she knew his arms were around her neck. Her muscles disagreed at first, but finally sank into her brothers arms.

This was a happy moment.

Ok here we go again another day another chappie.

Where is Draco?

What will happen now that his father is dead? (Suggestions welcome)

What will happen to Ron and Linda?

And Ginny gets a massage for her worn out muscles.
