Blondechicky: Thanks a lot for the support! Layb has taken a full recovery! I was so worried I was going to lose him!
GoldenFawkes: Lol, maybe.
Moonglow13: Garnet is actually pretty cute! I am getting so many suggestions! I don't know which ones to choose!
darkangel1: Well, I kind of lost my spark for Demon in the Shadows a while ago, I may start it up again if I get the urge, as for golden wings and a halo, maybe soon. I Just don't really have any where to go with it yet. Besides, I like this story way better!
Jack'sAngel: Hmm, Dragon? A bit too…nope, it's a little too obvious, and an odd name for the kitten, Ran would pick it up, and if not him, Hermione would.
s.halliwell24: I don't really read pansy/harry either, but I thought it was a cute little side couple.
MoonlightPrincess: Sorry it took me so long to update!My comp. Was being a retard!
FlammableTears: WOW! The names were awesome! I think I am going to pick Celestria, It is an awesome name. You seem to have a knack for naming things, could you help me out again? I need to find a name for this fox, she's a girl and has brilliant red fur with black paws and a white tipped tail, any ideas?
Princess: Lol, sorry to make you wait so long!
Lady Godiva: lol, yes, Ginny did get Draco something! She just doesn't have a sneaky house elf to deliver her presents!
LoyalRose: Lol, you gave me such a beautiful review And stupid me had to go and make you wait a year for the update! I just had my e-mail changed, so I didn't want to write anything and not receive the reviews! The reviews are the best part! I am honoured to have been gifted such a wonderful name. Spirit Heart, It sounds like a wolf name. Thank you so much. I hope you read this chapter, I was excited to start writing again.
chibi-sad: lol, here is your next chappie!
Frogs Rok: Lol, no I chose the name Celestria, thanks though!
beckysue2: lol, letting Ron know that Draco MALFOY bough her a cat is not the first thing on Ginny's things to do list! Draco is a little obviouse for a name, don't you think?
Lol.
Bigreader: Oh! I love that show! Charmed! –glows- I never get to watch it though…-pouts-…I think I've seen all of two episodes.
MissyNoGrace: I was sich too, a couple of days ago. I had strep throat…EVILNESS! Damn! It hurt, the whole back of my throat was raw…I had a hell of a time catching up at school, I missed two quizzes…I had a bad week.
A/N Well, yes, it took me a while, didn't it? Well, my email got changed and I didn't know how to change it back and all these horrible things happened, and I got sick, and Layb got better, and we were hanging out with his pack, and running…and howling…and eating…well, they were…I still get grossed out when the offer me regurgitated parts of their hunts…the pups love it though! Well, I have a chapter to write! LATER!
Chapter 19: Celestria and getting help
Draco, Blaise and Button flooed into Dumbledor's study together. Button landed neatly on her feet, and watched with pity as the boys followed her, both tumbling to the ground in a sooty pile. It was not the most graceful thing she had seen her master do, so she snapped her fingers, and watched with satisfaction as her master's cloths were magically cleaned. She cleverly ignored Master Blaise's glare as she did not do the same for him. Draco smirked at Blaise as he dusted himself off, and rose lithely to his feet. Dumbledor looked up from his desk, not in the least surprised to find two seventh years and a house elf in his office.
"Mister Malfoy? Mister Zabini? And, Button is it?"
Button nodded, extatic that he had remembered her name, as she had only met him once before. Draco sighed as Blaise sat down.
"Proffesser, I am sorry to intrude…but there is something that I must tell you."
Dumbledor's thin old lips curled slightly in a smile.
"What can I do for you?"
Draco, looked at his shoes for a moment, then to Blaise, then back at Dumbledor, his confidence regained. He told Dumbledor everything, how he was free from his father, about what was going on in the dungeons at night, meeting Ginny in the halls, about his ring, and most of all, about his father's murderous plot. He felt like a complete rat, but if this was the only way to save Ginny's life then so be it. There was no way she was going to die on his account.
Dumbledor was silent for a moment. He had his hands steepled and he watched them intently. Then, after what seemed like hours, he looked up.
"If this is true, and I do believe that it is, I need to have young Ginevra on the school grounds. Also, you said that you, Mr. Zabini, and Miss Parkinson are reformed?"
Draco nodded.
"This could be of great use to us, we would gladly welcome you as spies for the Order."
This time, Blaise spoke up,
"The…Order, sir?" Dumbledor smiled again.
"All part of the package you receive for turning to the side of the light. Button,"
The house elf straightened immediately.
"I am about to write a letter to the Weaselys, could you be a dear and floo over there for me?" Button nodded fiercely and practically ran to obey.
"And Mr. Zabini, I would like you to accompany her, so that if Miss Weasely needs help with her things, you will be there to give assistance." Blaise nodded and went to wait by the fireplace. Draco thought this order rather odd, mostly because Ginny had several older brothers, strong enough to help. Once they were gone, Dumbledor returned his attention to Draco, who had been examining the tall, spindly, silver objects on a rather delicate looking table by the window.
"Mr. Malfoy, I am choosing to trust you, not only because I have my own proof that you are telling no lies, but also because from what you say, Miss Weasely seems to trust you as well. She has an excellent sense of personality you know." Dumbledor paused for a moment, his eyes twinkling, then looked at Draco sharply.
"May I ask you a personal question?" Draco was surprised, he hadn't been expecting an interrogation. Draco looked at Dumbledor suspiciously.
"How personal?" He asked delicately.
Dumbldor grinned, "You'll know once I have asked the question." Draco sighed again, and nodded. Dumbledor became grim suddenly.
"Do you love her?" Draco felt like his heart was going to explode, Dumbledor had startled him so badly that he fell into a coughing fit.
"Excuse me?" He asked rather hoarsely, as his coughing fit had left his throat raw.
"Do you love her?" Dumbldor asked again, patiently.
"I…I…why?"
Dumbledor sighed.
"You hide it well Draco, I'm not even sure you know it yet. But you adore that girl. What else would give you the courage to admit you're reformal?" Draco gaped, very uncharacteristically I might add, at Dumbledor.
"What I'm trying to say if, Mr. Malfoy, is that because you love her, I am trusting her with you. I understand that you have an extra room?" Draco remembered the extra parts to his Head Boy Room. Pansy and Blaise usually hung out in one of the other bedrooms, but Draco rarely went past his own main room.
"Y-yes" Draco said, he had to clench his hands together to keep from shaking, he felt like he was going to have a Cordial Arrest.
"Then I suggest you bunk her up in a room with no fire place, so no one will floo in on her. She will be followed to classes by some teacher or another, and we will have a full tracking spell on her. It is rather harsh, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Take care of her Draco." Draco nodded stiffly, just as emerald green flames ignited in the fireplace.
Ginny and Hermione watched the kitten play on her bed. The gorgeous ginger fur filtering the sunlight like a candle flame.
"What should I call her?" Ginny asked Hermione softly. She just couldn't tear her eyes away from her darling kitten.
"How about, Flamma?" Hermione suggested. Ginny shook her head.
"Nah, I was thinking of Celestial, or Celestria, what do you think?" Hermione's face lit up.
"The second one, Celestria, for sure." Ginny grinned.
"Okay, Celestria," Ginny said confirming it, and patting the Kitten on the head.
"Ginny! Come here!" Ginny's mother called up the stairs, and to Ginny's ears, she sounded worried. She scooped up Celestria and went down, Hermione right behind her. She was surprised to see Blaise and a House Elf in her kitchen.
"Mum, what?" Molly Weasely's face was white, Ginny noticed a piece of parchment clutched in her hand.
"Ginny, darling, go get your things, you need to go back to school."
"What? Mum, what's going on?"
"No time honey, just go, get your things and come down as quickly as possible." Ginny, now worried, went back up staries and got her things ready, when she came back down, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Arthur, and Harry were no in the kitchen too. Blaise was carefully ignoring all of their glares. Ginny handed Blaise her trunk as he reached for it and turned to her mother.
"Mum, what's going on?"
"Not a moment to lose! Go honey, Dumbldor will explain everything. Go on!" And she was ushered into the fireplace, where she was whirled away, lost and confused. All she knew, was that she was glad Celestria was coming with her.
A/N Yes, I know, kind of sloppy, not my best. But hey! I've gotten rusty! Did you hear? They are going to be living together! Kind of... but hey, it's better than nothing! I'm looking forwards to writing morer! Now, I need lots of reviews or no update!
I am such a slave driver!
