Chapter 2: The Summer

Draco's POV

'Why? Why would she send me something like this? Does she know?' Tons of questions filled his mind. Occupying his every thought. The main question would be " Why is a weasel asking me for help? Earlier in the morning he had gotten a letter. a/n the part you've been waiting for lol

Flashback

"Argg! What's tapping at my window at 5 a.m.? He got up and was suddenly cold considering he was only in his boxers. He had opened the window to let this owl in and opened the letter.

Dear Draco,

I know this is a little weird coming from a Weasley especially the littlest one, but I seriously need your help. I'm fed up because my brother (Ron) and Harry consistently boss me around and hit me. Even for the littlest things. I don't know why I came to you. I guess I thought that since they're were reports of you and your mother being beaten you'd help me and since your father and Voldemort are dead, it'd be safe. Please I need your help to change.... to be bad even. I need to get back at them and i know that you dislike them as much as me so please....

Sincerely,

Ginevra Weasley

End of Flashback

He couldn't believe it. He just kept reading it over and over again. He could easily relate to Ginevra's situation. His father DID used to beat his mother and him. He finally decided he would help her but also because she reminded him of his mother. She was taken advantage of and beat for practically no reason. Just because she was there. His eyes started to water. 'Damn!' he thought. 'I've gone soft. Malfoy's NEVER cry!' His eyes hardened again and he wondered 'Why should I help a Weasley??' The two main reasons were 1) It would be a good way to get back at Weasel and Scarhead and 2) He knew in his heart that he had to help her.

End of Draco's POV

Ginny had finally gone to sleep feeling relaxed and sure that Draco would help her.

At 7a.m. she woke up hearing LOUD tapping on her window. She quietly went to the window and once she got her letter the owl flew to her windowsill. Before she could read it, Harry had burst into her room and asked, "Who'd you get a letter from?"

Ginny replied "No one. Now please Harry I need to get changed."

"What's that in your hand and whys there a big owl on your window sill?" he asked starting to get angry again.

" I... ummm.... was writing to a pen pal!"

"Lemme see" he quickly grabbed the letter out of her hand and read it.

Dear Ginevra,

I will help you. Not just so you can stand up for yourself but to get back at Weasel and Scarhead too. I shall be waiting for your reply of where we should get together and when.

Draco Malfoy

When Harry had finished reading it out loud he was outraged, a bit crazy even. "So this is how you repay us??? Associating with Ferret and trying to get back at us??? You stupid piece of scum!" Harry beat her and had beat her harder when she asked him to stop. She was feeling a bit lucky that Ron was a heavy sleeper but really sad because her parents and other brothers were in Europe again. At the end of her beating Harry just left her in the middle of the room bleeding endlessly.

She suddenly remembered the owl that was there and she felt like it was asking for a way to help she then told the owl to go home and whispered "Draco.... please help." before passing out.
