Chapter Four – Broken
Broken, I'm broken
I can't fix it up
I can't be repaired
Well,
I'm broken, I'm broken
I'm all busted up
My life's in
despair
The rain's falling down on my face
So my tears
won't give me away
Drink a pint of dark
For my broken heart for
a boy
Who may never return
Now it's broken at the neck
Now
I can't get over it
And now I'm feeling like such a mess
I'm
broken
Broken, I'm broken
Can't fix it up, I can't be
repaired
I'm not bigger than this burden
And I can't be
certain the colour of my guitar
The murky past comes up again
And
I'm standing on the bridge
Black water around my bed
"Where are we going?"
Draco was slightly amused at the pure excitement on Ginny's face as he nudged the car forward into the slowly moving traffic in the fast lane. Her cheeks were flushed and her hair was already slipping out of its confining barrettes to frame her angelic face as she squirmed around in her seat and swept her darkly sparkling eyes in every direction trying to take it all in at once.
She had her legs crossed on the dark leather seat of his black Mercedes and her pale skin beneath her three-quarter length black pants with tiny pink skulls all over and chains crisscrossing at the back, couldn't have stood out more. As the car turned off the highway and onto a small country back-road Ginny leant back in her seat and tugged on her black and pink striped knee-high socks, wriggling her feet into her battered old black converse and tucking the laces in loosely as the car slowed even further as they neared their destination.
"Come on."
Killing the engine Draco slipped out of the car and moved around to open Ginny's door for her, helping her out and hurriedly putting her long black cardigan that swept the back of her knees, around her shoulders as she shivered in her netted pink tank top over the plain black one.
Her numerous chunky bracelets clashed as she shoved her arms through the sleeves, her eyes never leaving the huge building before them. Its empty stained glass windows were watching them carefully as they moved up the long snaking gravel driveway towards the huge oak wooden doors.
Placing his hand on the door to push it open he sensed Ginny faltering behind him and he reached out a hand which she stared at for an eternity before finally taking and allowing him to lead her in. the door creaked open and they entered a huge dark entrance way painted a riot of orange, red and yellows that had faded into peeling curls down the tall walls through neglect. Heading straight for the chunky stairs of the same oak as the door to their left Draco nearly winced at Ginny's fingernails now cutting into his flesh as she clutched his hand desperately.
She was afraid.
Her breathing was getting shallower and more panicky as the edged along the creaking wooden floorboards of the second level floor towards a tightly shut door at the very end of the hallway. Approaching it Draco pushed it open and it swung inwards silently giving them a full view of the room them were entering.
Dark stains splashed up the north and east walls and mapped something out on the floor at heir feet. Odd angular symbols and foreign words were scratched across the dull white walls in the same dark paint that had seemed into the thick green carpet. The room practically reeked of death and Draco himself fought down a wave of nausea at the sight of so much innocent blood spraying the abandoned furniture, walls, floor and even the dusty white curtains at the long picture window.
He only noticed Ginny had let go of hi hand when she crossed the room in front of him and crouched down next to a particularly large stain of what must have been a huge puddle of blood. Feeling suddenly uneasy he moved towards her as she lay down silently and rolled into the stain so her head was in the small patch of carpet left green oddly it was odd-shaped and the realisation hit Draco just as his hand reached out to touch her, dragging him into the vision the second it hit Ginny.
((Flashback))
The room was once again fresh and clean, the white curtains fluttering delicately in the breeze as he turned to see a beautiful red head sprawled across one of two beds. Her blood-red hair flowing across the pillow was a harsh contrast to the crisp white and emerald vertically striped bed covers and pillows and also to her tight pale blue shirt and short white skirt.
Her eyes flickered up as the door opened and three girls bounded in already made up for a party and intent on convincing her to join them. One girl had long blonde hair, much darker than Draco's, that was worn loose around her face in waves to compliment her rosy skin and huge emerald eyes enhanced by the dark green bodice and deep crimson skirt she was dressed in.
Another had short spiky brown hair and a stylish side fringe and who was currently begging the girl on the bed to join them. Her voice had a slight Irish accent making it husky and soothing as she tugged on the girls arm and shot looks at her friends that told them to help.
The girl on the bed continued to refuse even as the last girl impatiently tapped her high-heeled foot on the ground and folded her arms across her chest encased in a white Lycra body stocking and a minute black leather skirt. Her oriental face did not appear to be happy at the girl on the bed, especially when she waved the girls away and made to turn her back on them.
A gasp escaped the blonde one as the door banged open and what looked a demon straight from hell barged in with evilly crackling dark eyes and murder written all over his body as he tensed at the crowded room. He lunged at the girl on the bed knocking the others out of the way as he did so and Draco gasped inaudibly.
Try as he might he couldn't place a name to the contorted face half in shadows as he pounced across the room rolling the girl over onto the floor...
((Flashback))
A scream tore through the house and Draco hurriedly shook the remains of the vision out of his head as he scrambled to his feet in time to see Ginny fleeing down the stairs and out of the still open front door.
---------
He found her hours later, wandering along the side of the road with huge eyes, the pouring rain had soaked her from dripping head to limping foot but she hardly noticed as she walked, ignoring him pulling up beside her in the car until she spoke.
"Why did you bring me back here?"
Draco, who had been forcibly restraining himself from physically beating the hell out of a wall out of guilt, winced at her heartbroken words.
"I'm sorry; I thought it would help you to go back."
She stopped then and he braked lightly so he could match her pace as she turned to him, her hair finally escaping the barrettes and plunging down her back in a torrent of blood-red as she gently retrieved her barrettes and shoved them into her pocket.
"Nothing good can ever come from that place, you know what happened there."
He had nothing more to say to her, he merely pushed open the car door and waited for her to climb in.
They didn't speak on the way back to the Hospital and when he pulled her door open for her she slid past him with only a whispered 'Thank you'.
Banging up the stairs, ignoring the guards' odd looks he threw his car keys onto his desk, slammed the door shut with enough force to rattle the pictures and paintings littering his walls and proceeded to tear apart his room. His anger was boiling within him as he punched the wall over and over again spreading blood over his hand and down the wall as his knuckles cut themselves open throughout his attack.
It had been stupid to take her back there, now she'd never talk to him again and he'd probably just knocked her recovery back a few centuries. Using his foot to pummel the wall he was busy calling himself every insult under the sun when he heard a knock at the door and told them, none too politely, to bugger off.
"It's me."
The sound of her voice made him wave his wand to clear the room and rush to open the door before she took his advice.
"Ginny, I'm so sorry..."
She put a still ice-cold finger against his lips and he had to steal himself not to kiss it as she backed him into the room and carefully closed the door behind her.
"Me first, I guess I did overreact a little but it was just the shock of being back there."
She shuddered and he blinked at her comfortingly as that was all she was allowing him to do.
"And then that vision... anyway I just wanted to say I'm sorry if I freaked you out or something..."
She trailed off as she realised she didn't even have anything to be sorry for and her huge haunted eyes moved over to take in the blood on the wall, their gaze flickering to meet the sight of his bloodied hands and she flinched, staring up at him guiltily.
Without a word she backed him into his seat and used his wand to summon the Magical First Aid Kit every building in England must have. Dropping to her knees besides him she took his hands in hers and administered the various healing potions, creams and spells still using his wand
"Thank you."
Not quite sure what the both of them were thanking the other for as Ginny backed out of the room silently, Draco turned to stare out at the black of the grounds at night, once again severely confused about who was helping who in his situation with Ginny.
