A/N: the usual rubbish characters aren't mine don't sue I have nothing anyway
The lyrics at the beginning are from 'At Night' by The Cure
Another short one I know but I didn't have much time to do it, anywhere here it is
I wanted to try and put another language in so I decided on Latin BUT I don't speak Latin in any way shape or form so if I have managed to butcher it my sincere apologies.
"LATIN" !!English translation!!
Chapter Three – At Night
Sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night
Standing alone
underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice
On my face
I
watch the hours go by
The hours go by
You sleep
Sleep in a safe bed
Curled and protected
Protected
from sight
Under a safe roof
Deep in your house
Unaware
of the changes at night
At night
I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet
despair
Listen to the silence
At night
Someone has to be
there
Someone has to be there
Someone must be there
Sauntering over to the small dock at the bottom of the Hospital's grounds that extended out into the small lake currently heavily protected against all residents not keyed into the wards, Draco watched her as she gradually became more defined under his gaze. Her hair was tied back in a loose plait and woven through with fresh flowers Coop had collected only that morning, one leg was trailing lazily in the water and the other was crossed under her supporting yet another book as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger lazily and turned her face briefly up to the shining sun.
"Ginny?"
She didn't even jump or acknowledge his presence; she merely closed her book and carefully placed it at her side. He glimpsed the glimpsed the dark red leather cover embossed with gold letters and mentally raised an eyebrow at the radical switch of reading material; Jane Eyre?
"I wanted to talk to you."
Ginny sighed and leaned back on her elbows, her eyes squinting against the harsh rays of the sun as he dropped down awkwardly besides her and crossed his long legs beneath him.
"Why am I not surprised?"
She paused and he watched her as the slight breeze tugged locks of her hair free from behind her ears and whipped them across her face playfully.
"What happened, Ginny? What went on that Night that landed you in here?"
Ginny narrowed her eyes and turned to watch the sunlight playing across the glassy water's surface.
"I have to know."
Anger flashed in her eyes and she sat upright again, startling him into falling backwards as she jabbed a finger towards him.
"No, I have to know why you ended up engaged to Mason Pierson, of all people."
Draco winced; she made it sound so awful and he knew it must look pretty bad what with Mason being the snobbiest witch of all time alongside being the daughter of Voldemort's top Deatheater; Judas Pierson was even higher than Lucius himself.
"It was arranged a long time ago." He supplied stiffly, gazing up into her still furious face as she glared down at him, one arm on either side of his shoulders and her plait falling over her shoulder and tickling his cheek.
"And like a good little boy you did exactly what Daddy told you to." She mocked.
"Now wait just one fucking minute!" Draco snarled, anger flaring inside him as his eyes glazed over and darkened to electric black.
"You don't know anything about the relationship between my father and myself or why I agreed to marry Mason up until three weeks ago. I don't know how you found out about the engagement but it wasn't entirely your influence that convinced me to break it off. So before you go jumping to conclusions take a goddamn look at yourself, your hardly the model of virtue anymore yourself anymore."
Ginny just stared down at him, her gaze flickering to his chest still heaving in anger to his rapidly racing pulse at his throat and back to his enchanting eyes. She was about to speak when she thought better of it and snapped her mouth shut, turning her head to stare out at the horizon but not shifting her position.
"La mia anima vola liberamente mentre il mio corpo è concatenato a voi, morte è ma un rilascio che non posso essere assegnato."
!!My soul flies free while my body is chained to you, death is but a release I cannot be granted!!
Ginny snapped her head back to look at Draco so fast he heard it crack and she jerked away from him as though his skin burned her.
"Where did you get that from?"
Watching her steadily Draco slowly pulled himself up into a sitting position and clapped his hands together to remove the dust.
"Dreams really are curious things."
The reaction he got was not what he expected. Every speck of colour drained from Ginny's face leaving her lily-white against the dark sprinkling of freckles over her nose, the blood red of her hair and the plush dark pink of her reddened lower lip. Her eyes were huge and cavernous and glittering as though from a fever as her breathing quickened.
"What?" She croaked, her voice hoarse and broken as though she hadn't used it for a very long time.
"I don't believe you killed those girls, Ginny. But I do think you know what happened that night."
Her harsh shallow breaths were now worrying him but he knew she would only give if she was pushed so he continued.
"There was someone else in the room wasn't there? Who was it Ginny? There were traces of semen inside your friends, semen not even the highest training wizards could identify. What did he do to the four of you?"
Ginny was shuddering violently as once again the past recalled her to it and she was helpless to fight, the last thing she remembered before darkness claimed her was pitching forward into Draco's waiting arms.
Flashback
His hands, once gentle, were tearing frantically at her skirt and thighs, his long nails leaving deep gashes along her creamy skin already splattered with her friends' blood. Her throat was too dry for her to scream and only a single tear escaped her eyes, glued shut from the sight of him until he dug his nails into her wrists and she had no choice but to snap open her eyes.
He was rising above her, framed by the red overhead light which turned his hair to rivulets of blood over his shoulders as his eyes flashed black in the shadows, he looked utterly satanic and she was disgusted to find herself still attracted to him even as he raped her.
Getting closer to the edge he leant over and plunged his sharp teeth into her shoulder, now bare from where he'd ripped away her skin-tight blue jumper, drawing blood and greedily sucking it down.
Rolling her head to the side from the pain both between her legs and now in her shoulder, Ginny caught sight of a bloodied arm flung out besides her. Ivory's long nails had been painted dark pink and were now soaking in the blood still seeping from under her mane of bleach-blonde hair.
Feeling nausea sweep over her Ginny squeezed her eyes shut once again and tried to block out what was happening to her and what had happened earlier that evening, never realising that she would be spending every night reliving it for years to come...
End Flashback
Draco gently clutched Ginny to him, his hand unconsciously smoothing over her hair as she slumped across his lap, she seemed to be having some sort of blackout but he knew she shouldn't be woken up until she was ready or he could end up giving her brain damage.
Her eyes were rolling under her closed lids and she was whimpering slightly as she clawed at the invisible hands torturing between her thighs. Feeling her trembling beneath him he rocked her backwards and forwards slightly until, with an almighty scream of terror, she came back to him.
Panting and running her hands over her body to check she was in one piece she finally looked up at Draco with brightly flushed cheeks, her pupils almost gone entirely as they contracted in fear.
"What happened?"
She was shuddering worse than in her vision as she slowly got to her feet and turned to look blankly back at him.
"You don't want to know."
Her voice was captured on the breeze and Draco wasn't sure if he heard correctly, but by the time he had got to his feet she was gone.
