A/N: Ok, the darkness is slowly vanishing…maybe only to return, so don't say I didn't warn you! Well, I hope everyone's loving the Fluff 'n stuff, cause I sure do!
Draco left Ginny, sleeping, sometime in the morning. They had talked of their future lives and what the world was going to do. Draco told Ginny how Voldemort was slowly losing servants as the ministry of magic narrowed down on him. Ginny, secretly in her heart, hoped that Voldemort would vanish and never return. Draco, deep down, wished the same thing, but was sure his father didn't.
FRONT OF THE MALFOY MANSION-Noon
"Ready Ginny?" Draco asked as she walked towards him. The sleep had done her some good and the dark circles were slowly diminishing. Her skin was slightly colored and she blushed slightly when she saw Draco. He secretly grinned within, but the grin vanished when his father came out of the mansion.
"GINNY!" Lucius called as he came to her where she had stopped, "Buy something a little more sexy. I am tired of your black mini skirt. But, I never tire of looking at you." He then placed a hand on her waste and the other brushed her hair back. He whispered something in her ear and she looked at the ground.
Bastard! How dare he touch her. She's mine. Draco had never really been bothered when his father had touched her before, but suddenly the realization came to him that his father was bothering her.
"Draco my boy," Lucius said as he let go of Ginny and walked to him, "I am hoping you find something for the young whore." He placed a hand on Draco's shoulder as he smiled at him, "She needs to be spiffed up for the surprise."
"Surprise?" Draco inquired.
"Oh yes," Lucius said, "A great surprise." He quickly walked to the car after his last remark. He waved at his son with a massive grin while driving away.
"Well Ginny my dear, shall we?" Draco asked as he opened the car door for her. She smiled slightly as he grinned at her, but she still seemed down-hearted. Draco got in the car himself, and put the car in gear. "We'll be going to a bus stop for the night bus and we'll take it to Diagon Alley. Any problems?"
"No, none at all," she looked out the window and sighed deeply before turning to him.
"Draco, I need to tell you something. You must promise not to get upset," she said while tears filled her eyes, "promise?"
"Of course," Draco thought about it, "wait…what are you talking about?"
"I…" she took a deep breath, "your father is selling me." The car jerked to the side of the road so suddenly Ginny was nearly plastered to the window.
"WHAT?!" Draco said as she cried in the seat, "HE CAN'T! Wait…Ginny…"
"Yes Draco," she said while looking at him, "it was my decision."
"Oh my dear, sweet Ginny…" he looked out his own window while the tears slowly filled his eyes, "Why?" He looked out the window and slowly felt her hand on his arm. He turned to see her eyes red and full of tears.
"Draco Malfoy," she said, "the surprise is that you'll be getting a new…" Ginny gulped, "whore. You're father said she's better than me, and you'll take to her soon enough."
"No!" Draco hit the steering wheel with his fists, "You're mine! I don't want someone else! Damn it!"
"Draco, I know it's very sudden and I don't want to do it either but…" Ginny never finished her statement, because the next moment they were flying down the highway in the car. Draco zoned everything out as he raced in between cars. Horns honked and people hollered at him, but he didn't care. If he couldn't have her, no one would!
"Draco…slow down!" Ginny held on for dear life as he tore through the highway…intent on reaching only one destination.
KNOCKTURN ALLEY-Copper Cobra
"I need help," Draco said to a strange man behind the counter, "Unicorn Blood is Spice, So is Everything Else Nice." The man behind the counter nodded and headed to a back room.
"Draco," Ginny said while clinging to his arm, "what's going on? Who are you hear to see? What are you doing?"
"He's doing what his mind is telling him," Ginny turned to face none other than Professor Severus Snape.
"Snape?" Ginny said as if asking.
"Yes Ginny, it is me," he smiled and held a hand out for her, "come." She looked to Draco for reassurance and he nodded. She laid her hand inside Professor Snape's and he slowly pulled her into a back room. Draco followed her all the way. The room was formally lit, and it had odd hanging of people on the wall. One of the women grinned down on her, said something about a whore, and looked to a man next to her. There was only one square table and four chairs as furniture. Snape took a seat at one side of the table while Draco and Ginny took the other.
"Ginny," Draco said while Snape and he looked at her, "I am sending you to the Voldemort Veratassium." Ginny took a deep breath as Draco took his hand in hers.
"Draco," Ginny said, "Are you coming with me?"
Draco smiled at her before kissing her lips, and she fell…fell through the darkness, and the darkness consumed her. She screamed for Draco, but all seemed lost, and the darkness comforted her. She thought she was dieing…but little did she know that she was being reborn.
ORDER OF THE PHOENIX HQ-Upstairs Bedroom
"Ginny darling…" a familiar voice called, "Ginny, time to wake up now." Ginny's eyes opened and slowly focused on a face she had come to know from her first breath, her mothers.
"OH MUM!" She wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and smiled as her mother held her. She opened her eyes over her mom's shoulder to find the mischievous twins, Charlie, Percy, Ron and her dad all looking at her.
"What happened?" she asked as her mom helped her stand. She took hugs from all of her family members and laughed as Fred and George offered her a tongue-engorging toffee.
"You were brought here, back to us," her mom said, "Ginny, you've been brought back by Professor Snape."
"Anyone else?" Ginny asked as she searched the room.
"Only him. He brought you here about an hour ago," her dad said. Ginny smiled as she looked at her family members. They were all waiting for this moment, and they smiled and laughed at her being back, but back in her mind she wondered about him. Where was he? Would she ever get a chance to thank him? The thoughts vanished for a little while as she ate and changed clothes and became Ginny Weasley again. Her family members thanks Professor Snape over and over, but he looked at Ginny and knew. He knew that Draco Malfoy was hers. He didn't say anything, but Ginny knew he knew.
DIAGON ALLEY-Leaky Cauldron
Draco chugged the beer. Why didn't he go he didn't know. He knew he loved her, but she belonged with her family, and they didn't accept him. They never would. His own family sometimes didn't accept him, how could they? The bartender cleaned the glasses with a dirty rag and nodded at someone as they came in the door.
"So my young lad," a familiar voice said, "what would bring you down this way?" Draco turned to see none other than Albus Dumbledore standing there.
"Nothing much," Draco said, "you?"
"I heard one of my ex-prefects was down this way and I thought I'd take a look to see who it was," Albus took a seat next to Draco and smiled at him through his half-moon glasses.
"Why in the world did you make me a prefect anyways?" Draco asked.
"You know, many people asked me that," he replied, "I made you one because, despite your family history, I saw good in you. I know Lucius never liked me, but I knew you would grow up to be a good wizard someday. I also saw, in my pensive, who you would come to rescue in your time. And a young, fair red-haired girl, was one of them. I know that's why you're feeling sorry now, so don't even try to hide it."
"What will I tell my father? He's going to whip me for a good one and back."
"Why does he need to know?" Albus said, "Draco, many people are not given good circumstances to be born into. But they can change that. You're old enough, you can make your own decisions." He patted Draco on the shoulder and stood from the stool. "Well, I am going to Voldemort Veritassium, any messages I should carry along?" Dumbledore stood there, waiting for a reply.
"No," Draco said, "I will give them myself." With a smile he stood and accompanied Albus Dumbledore down the road, and eventually to Sirius Black's house.
