Alexandra J. Malfoy: lol, thanks for the luck! And also, thanks for the review!

King prongs: Sounds like you're a hopeless romantic! Join the club! I am too! Lol. Yes, some fluffieness coming!

LoyalRose: Hey Dream Watcher! Yes, I know what your talking about with the wolves. I don't act human when I am with my wolves. It is too impossible not to. The wolves express such flair, such wildness…I think it is starting to interfere with my human life. I am becoming much harder for my teachers to handle. I can't count the amount of times I almost snarled at a teacher! How embarrassing! I would look like a complete fool with my flat little human teeth! Lol. I used to bring Layb to school in elementary school, but he is not aloud at my high school. That wolf you described, the one you met? Well, I know a wolf that sounds just like him! Her name is Dark Lullaby. I didn't name her, my best friend Sabrina did. She comes with me to the wolves sometimes. Lullaby is still only a yearling, but you can tell, when she grows up, she will be a powerful hunter. I think she will give the Alphas a run for their money! Well, I am rambling again! Thanks for the nice LOOOONG review! SEND ANOTHER ONE! Lol. Later!

Ashen

Evilkitty51: It is not supposed to be rated G…hmm…I'll have to change the rating back to PG-13. ..that was what it was like when I first started the story…I wonder what happened? And, I know, gold, not really his colour…but Ginny bought it for him, and he loves it any wayz!

Quidditch7: Thanks for all the reviews!

Kinboshi: I would love to read your story! Just put the link in your next review!

Thanks for all the complements!

DarkfaerieMagick: lol, well, at least I am not alone in my loathing for Valentines Day! Every one at school shows up in pink, and then there's me, clad in black from my head to my toes.

"Isn't this so exciting?" Shannon (prep of the century) will gush to me as she shows off her many valentines.

"Note my Valentine spirit…" I will reply, evilly, and monotonously…and Shannon will slink away, in her goody pink loveliness, quivering in fear of my anti-joy aura…well…there was my valentines day in a nutshell! How was your?

Moosekiss32: Lol, thanks for your wonderful support! Enjoy this chappie!

Valentines-hater: Lol, here's your update! Sorry it is a little late, I got caught in traffic!

Moonlight Princess: Yeah, I know what Kawaii means. I am a huge Anime fan. My top favoutrite shows would be Inu-yasha, Wolf's Rain, Witch Hunter Robin, and Gundam Seed…in that order! Lol, thanks for the review! And your questions should be answered in this chapter!

A/N Now THAT is what I like to see! Well, this chapter is going to pick things up a bit, so, be prepared for a few surprise! Remember, the more reviews, the better the story!

Chapter 21: Complications

Ron felt like his heart was going to stop, as he watched his only sister, disspear from his fireplace…after a Slytherin. He was so terrified that something would happen to her again, like in his second year, when she had almost died. He felt so betrayed by not only his mother for letting her leave, but also by Harry. Ron didn't understand, but when he went to Harry to vent, the only meaningful thing he had to say was,

"People change Ron," Yeah right. If people changed why then, didn't any one try to change you-know-who? Nooo, the only option was to have him slaughtered. Not that Ron minded, in his opinion, all the Slytherins, and their Death Eater parents should all be forced to walk off the end of the earth.

Ron looked up from his (for once) silent temper tantrum, as Hermione walked in.

She furrowed her brow and sat next to him on the bed. Ron quickly wiped his eyes, realising just now that he was near tears.

"Hi, Hermione," He said gruffly, staring blankly at his knees. Hermione tried to smile.

"I know you're worried about her Ron, but Christmas holidays are over in four days. I'm sure Dumbledor will let us look after her when we get back." Ron snorted.

"Yeah right. I'll bet the old nutter has bloody Blaise looking after her. The little rat! He's going to sell her to You-Know-Who, and laugh as she dies." He snarled, a tear falling on his faded jeans. Making a spot of dark blue appear, and spread ever so slightly. Hermione didn't have the heart to tell him it was Malfoy watching over her. She knew that, even if she told him he had apparently converted, it would make no difference. They would find the blond Slytherin's body in bloody ribbons by tomorrow. She sighed, and leaned her head on his shoulder. She felt him stiffen for a moment, then he put his arm around her and pulled her closer, crying silently into her brown hair.

"I'm so scared." He whispered to her…and she felt her heart break for him, and she began to cry too.


Luna blushed furiously,

"Zoe, stop…it isn't my business, or yours." Zoe cracked up laughing.

"Yeah! Ginny, this is hilarious! Get this, Harry and Pansy kissed!"

"Holy SHIT! When?" Ginny screamed, and jumped up from her bed.

Luna scowled.

"It is none of your business! Honestly, you two are like a couple of twelve year olds, picking up on last week's gossip!"

"So it was last week?" Ginny asked, brushing a piece of hair that had fallen from its ponytail behind her ear.

Luna shook her head and turned for the door, her blue dress billowing angelically behind her.

"Good thing I never mentioned Blaise." She mumbled and left.

"Blaise? What about him?" Zoe asked and followed her out. Ginny followed too, but once they came to the portrait, she knew she couldn't follow any farther…if she valued her life. She sighed as she watched the portrait close behind her friend's backs. She knew she was going to have a few rather boring weeks ahead of her. She turned around, and looked at the room she was now in. She realised it was Draco's. Well, that would make sense, as the portrait opened to his room. She sighed again. Already missing Zoe and Luna. She walked over to Draco's bed, and curled up on it. Celestria joined her, and Ginny stroke the kitten's fur, until they both fell asleep. She didn't wake up again until the room was dark, and Celestria was gone, feeling very alone.


Draco looked at the stars, ignoring the icy winds slicing across his face. He sighed, and looked back at the piece of parchment in his hand. His father's handwriting was scrawled across the smooth yellowing surface.

'Tomorrow, Hog's Head, 5;30 am.' It was not signed, there was no, 'with love' or any 'how are you'…not that he would expect anything different. He angrily tore the paper to shreds and watched the little pieces float off the roof of the Astronomy Tower into the night. He looked at his watch, it was 3:41 am, he had a while. Suddenly, he sensed another's presence, he leapt to his feet and spun around, wand out, but stopped, as he realised, it was just the Macramé kid.

"Hey Mafloy," She said, in a surprisingly flat voice. There was no bite, no spice…just…Hey Malfoy.

He didn't say anything, he didn't trust her. He simply nodded and stared out into the night. Macramé started to say something, but there was a sudden pounding of running feet, and then Lovegood appeared too, sweat beading her brow, her hair a mess, and her night gown whipping in the night. Draco examined her posture. She was trembling, and her face was stark white with fear.

"Luna, what's wrong?" Zoe asked, getting up carefully so as not to fall off the roof, but Luna ignored her.

"Malfoy!" She screamed and ran towards him, almost falling off the edge, but Draco grabbed her hand to steady her.

"What? He asked, very confused.

"Take Ginny. Take her and run! Get away! Before it is too late!" Luna grabbed at his cloak with her little hands, shaking him furiously, tears beginning to pour from her eyes. Zoe got up.

"What are you waiting for? Do as she says!" She shouted, making Draco tear his eyes away from Luna, who was near hysterics, to Zoe, who was looking at him dead seriously.

"Before five thirty…before five thirty…the evil hour…before five thirty…only the Prince of the Snakes can save her…" Luna was rocking back and forth, her eyes glazed over, much the way he knew his mother's were.

"What is she bloody going on about?" He snarled, grabbing Zoe by her robes and pulling her off the ground.

"She probably had a vision damn it! If you don't get Ginny out of here she is going to die!" Zoe threw a high kick to his side and sent him rolling across the roof, away from the edge. Suddenly, it was like time froze. The sky opened up, a beam of light shone down on Luna. Draco's eyes followed the light, until he was staring into the depths of the night sky. There, among the stars, he saw what Luna must have seen, to send her head over heels into hysterics.

The glade from his dreams was nestled in the sky, the emerald green leaves of the tree shining in the sunlight, the pond of water, sprarkling clean. Suddenly, the beauty was gone. Ginny Weasely was sprawled across the ground. Blood webbing its way across her skin, her dead eyes seeing nothing. Blood tainted the water, and dripped off the tree. Draco's eyes followed a little emerald ring that rolled away from the dead body, and disappeared in the water without a sound. The glade went dark, and the blood grew cold. Suddenly the light disappeared from Luna, and she fell unconscious on the ground. Zoe picked her up and got on what Draco assumed to be her broom, which she must have used to fly up here, like Draco had.

"Hurry up you idiot! I'll go get help, you get her as far away as possible!" Draco rose to his feet, and got his own broom. He fled into the castle, knowing that if he was too late, all hope was lost. As he ran, he pulled out his new pocket watch, and examined Ginny' hand. She was currently pointing towards,

'Waking up.' She was still safe. He remembered her sweet face, the joy in her features as she realised how pleased he was with the gift. That morning now seemed like weeks away. All he had on his mind now was saving her.


Ginny got off Draco's bed and stretched. She searched the room for something to do. She was about to pursue a room with a bookcase, when Draco exploded through the entrance and grabbed her hand.

"Come," He snarled, and ran her out of his room, down the hall, and then into hers. He ripped open her wardrobe and pulled out a pair of old jeans and a sweater.

"Put these on, now." He growled.

"Draco?" Ginny was terrified. She had never seen Draco so angry. She reached out a hand to him, but quickly pulled it back as he slammed the wardrobe door shut.

"Now." He said dangerously, staring at the hard wood doors of the wardrobe. A crack now running down the middle of the left door, because he slammed it too hard.

"Draco, I don't understand-" Ginny whimpered tears streaming down her face. Was it something she did? Draco spun on her, his eyes flashing.

"Do you not understand English? Go and Change! I'll find the cat and then we are leaving. Go!" Ginny jumped, then scampered into the bath room.

Draco felt horrible. He had made her cry…but he didn't have time for explanations. Five thirty was only an hour and a half away…wait a second…five thirty.

'Tomorrow, Hog's Head, five thirty,'

Father…Draco suddenly realised what was happening. You bastard! He thought, and pulled out his wand.

'Accio Celestria!' The Kitten flew into his hands just as Ginny came out of the bathroom. Her face streaked with tears. Draco put the kitten to sleep and handed her to Ginny. He had to think of some way to get them out of there…quickly. You couldn't apparate, or dissapparate on school grounds…there were secret passages…but he didn't know many of them…only the one under the Womping Willow, but since his Father had been the one to tell him about it, there was no use hiding in it. Suddenly, it came to him. His broom! How could he be so stupid? He led Ginny back to his room, and he grabbed his broom off his bed, before pulling Ginny out the window and following her himself. Once they were out in the crisp night air, he told Ginny to get on, and to hold on tight. Her little hands gripped into his black cloak, trembling. Celestria was curled in her lap. Draco shivered at her touch, but kicked off just the same. His heart was racing, and he wanted to make sure Ginny lived to take a broom ride with him again. Maybe then, she wouldn't be crying. He flew for what felt like hours, but he knew it couldn't be, as the sun hadn't come up yet. Once the sweeping fields had turned to a hilly, mountainous range, he descended his broom, and landed them next to a small crevice. Wide enough for maybe three people to sit side by side. Draco hid his broom behind a few rocks and then went back to Ginny. She had nestled Celestria in a corner, and she turned to face Draco.

"Draco…" She said quietly, and he felt like his heart had been ripped from his chest, still beating. "What's going on? Did…did I do something to make you angry?" She whispered, looking at her feet. Draco stared at her. She thought he was angry with her? Well, that would explain all the tears…damn, he was going to kill his father. He looked at her. His strong, brave lioness, quivering in absolute terror before him…and it was all his fault. He pulled her close to him, pulling his arms around her small shaking form. She jumped, as if expecting pain, but he simply held her. He kissed her head, and she wrapped her arms around his waist, relishing in the warm comfort his body gave off. Suddenly, there was a cold voice.

"What an adorable moment. I'm so sorry to interrupt." Draco looked up from his Kitten, to see Lucius, standing at the entrance to the crevace. His wand pointed down on them.

"Draco, you disappoint me." Was the last words Draco Malfoy heard, before his world went black, and he was lost in the sweet oblivion of unconsiousness.

A/N Another Cliffie! Sorry guys! I also need to say that this chapter is deticated to Dracosbaby7, for giving me a wonderful idea! Thanks a lot! Also, I am going to be starting another story soon. I am planning on it being my first Post-Hogwarts D/gfic. I hope you can all get around to reading it! Later!
