EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: I had a bit of an uploading problem earlier. Lasted for quite some time. I'd intended to get this out at the beginning of the month. Sorry!

Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter, sadly enough. And, what's worse, I don't own Draco. Excuse me while I go sob in a corner.

Just kidding! Here's the next chapter for all you patient reviewers (you don't know how much your reviews made my day, really. Made me work faster, too. Lol)

BTW – Draco WILL be kinda OOC, but forgive him. He's 17 (2 years later than OotP) and in love.

Dedication – This chapter is dedicated to my sister, who I nickname TQ, since today (8-06) is her 21st birthday (drinking age!)

Forbidden IV Kidnapped

Ginny's P.O.V. (sry I didn't put it up before)

'I feel like I've been hit by the Hogwarts Express.' "Somebody, make the pounding stop," I moaned, while grinding my teeth

Hold on a sec. Why does my throat hurt? Then it all came crashing back, Pansy and her little attack. "I don't think my poor brain can take much more stress." I moved to sit up, then noticed that my arm was weighed down.

Draco lifted his head and gazed at me with sleepy eyes. Suddenly, he shot up. "Gin, love, lay down!" He carefully pushed me back down onto the… hospital bed.

"Why am I here?" The look on his face was more than enough. I don't think I'm going to like where this conversation will lead to.

"Do you know how long you've been out, Gin?" I shook my head, causing Draco to clutch my hand tightly. "You've been out for a week." My hands shook as a gasp forced its way out of my throat, causing it (my throat) to burn more.

"Gin… love, I was so scared. When you didn't come back after 30 minutes, I figured you'd just got caught up with they way you left the Great Hall, and all… But, and hour after you left and still hadn't returned, I was so scared. Not just for the baby, but for YOU. I thought you were-" He broke off. The suppressed sob I heard from him tore my heart.

"Draco, I-" He pushed a finger to my lips.

"I asked your prat brother Ron, Potter, and Granger to help." Had he just used Ron's first name?! "Don't start. You forget, I'm not going to be an only child much longer. Anyway. Granger found you in a deserted corridor near Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. There were cuts around your forehead, and the back of your head was bleeding. Your skull was fractured." Draco cracked a weak smile. "I'm glad Madame Pomfrey can fix those things in no time."

"Merlin… I'm so sorry that I had to put you through all of that, Draco."

Leaning forward, I enveloped him in a hug. Or, rather, I TRIED to. Only, I was pushed back onto the bed.

"What's the matter, Draco? Why do you keep making me lie down?"

He looked away guiltily. "You… um… you just had an attack. You need r-rest, Gin."

"Wait a minute. Draco never stutters. He's lying to me. I can tell by the guilty look on his face. He never lies or stutters unless A) he's in trouble or B) it's important.

Right now it's B) but when I find out why he lied it will also be A).

"Don't lie to me. What's – Oh my God! My baby! What in God's name is wrong with my baby?! You never lie. Not unless it's important! TELL ME!!!" I screamed.

"Ginny… Honey. We – we almost lost the baby." Draco buried his head into his hands.

"What is all this ruckus about?" Madame Pomfrey came out of her office. "Mister Malfoy, I told you that she needs rest. What with that close encounter and all." You know, I REALLY hate that look of pity that's she's giving me right now. I just wanna take it and shove it up her – Uh uh, Ginny! Relax.

When I looked around, I realized Madame Pomfrey was walking back into her office. Draco's grip loosened on my hand… Now my hand feels kinda cold.

"Ginny, visiting hours are over. I've got to go; I'll be back when she lets me in again. Love you, Virginia," he whispered into my ear.

I swallowed. 'Don't tell me that I have to be stuck in this place by myself!' I mentally screeched. Out loud I said, "I love you, too. From the look you're giving me, I can tell you're about to give me a lecture. I'll take it easy; promise."

With a kiss on my forehead, Draco looked back at me. He then took a (THE) ring box out of his robes and set it beside the bed. "Sleep tight." Without looking back, he waved at me over his shoulder.

I picked up the ring box. Opening it, I got a better look at the ring. In a heart it said 'DGWM.'

'How funny,' I thought dryly. 'Now I've adopted his first name.'

Ok, I really don't mind. I think it's kind of sweet. I put the ring on my finger.

As I started nodding off, a dark figure went by the window. Rigid, I tried to calm down my rapidly beating heart. 'Relax, Gin, probably just an owl.'

…

Were those shrieks coming from downstairs?

It wasn't really hard to hear them. They steadily grew louder. I tried to listen to what everyone was screaming.

My stomach sank. The cries of "Death Eaters!" became more and more accentuated. 'That must mean what I saw-' I gasped.

Footsteps were coming towards me at a rapid pace. And, let me tell you, it didn't sound like a 17 year old wizard. So what do you think I did?

I screamed. I screamed, and screamed, and screamed. The window breaking only caused me to scream even louder. (So much for taking it easy)

Someone came over to my bed and picked me up. Where the hell is Madame Pomfrey in all of this? … Oops, sorry baby. Bad mommy, bad.

"Lucius and my Lord will be very happy to see you," a female voice hissed near my ear.

Umm… can my stomach sink anymore? If so, it just fell out of my body! This is that mad woman! You know the one I'm talking about. Not Pansy. I mean Bellatrix Lestrange, the woman who tortured poor Neville's parents to insanity!

She pulled me, kicking and practically breathing fire, out of the bed and towards the window. Vaguely, I heard the door thrown open. As the crazy woman carrying me jumped out the window, I heard Hermione yelling. Looking up, I saw her head poked out of the window.

With the ground looking closer, I began to panic. Why didn't she just apparate or something already?

In my mind's eye, I saw Hermione lecturing me on how you can't apparate on Hogwarts' grounds… Or was it inside the building?

'WHY ME?!?!?' I mentally yelled to the world. 'MUST I be hunted down ALL THE FRICKIN TIME?!

'Please let her apparate and leave me. I'd rather be a pancake, than stuck with her.'

Shame nothing ever works the way I want it to… Well, I lie. It only half worked. Oh, Bellatrix Lestrange apparated all right.

…

Only she took me with her. Damn.

…

Oops! Bad mommy!
