Chapter 5-Run

The week passed by and Ginny ignored Draco, when he tried to talk to her she would walk away, or ignore him, but Draco wasn't about to give up.

It was Saturday morning and Ginny was woken up, by a tapping on her window. She walked over to it and let the gray owl come in. The owl dropped the note, and Ginny shooed it out.

Ginny scowled in frustration, because she was woken up so early on a Saturday morning.

She sat down on her bed and looked at the note. After seeing that there was no clue from who it was she opened it. The note read:

"Ginny, I'm sorry, for whatever I said to upset you this much, but please don't ignore me, what happened to being my friend? I am really worried about you. –D.M"

Ginny rolled her eyes at the note and leaned back onto her pillow. Sleep was just about to take her when Edina came storming into her room.

"Ginny!" she hissed.

Ginny sat up in bed to see what happened.

"What?" she asked looking confused.

"I-I don't know how to say this...but..."

"Spit it out Edina." Ginny said in annoyance of her friend's lack of speech.

She walked over and sat on Ginny's bed facing her. "I-I-"

"What?" Now Ginny became worried, Edina always had control of her voice and the situations that came flying her way, and something horrible must have happened to make her have a problem with her speech.

"Professor Williams." She chocked out.

Ginny didn't need anything else to be told to her, she was sure that something along the line of what happened to her would eventually happen to some one she loved or just knew. "Shh, its okay." Ginny said as she hugged her now crying friend close to her.

"I didn't do anything." She said as she pulled away from Ginny.

"What happened?" she questioned her friend.

"He hit on me, and then he tried-he tired to-to" Edina's face was flushed and her cheeks where wet from her tears.

"I feel so dirty, eww!" Edina exclaimed.

At this Ginny swallowed hard, if Edina felt dirty about him just hitting on her, and trying something, then how was Ginny supposes to feel? Ginny's stomach twisted up in knots as she watched her friend.

"You can't tell anyone." Edina said as she wiped her tears away.

"I know how you feel." 'Actually I feel worse then you do.' Ginny added to her self. "But we need to put a stop to him, god knows how many other girls he will hurt, if we don't do something." She said as she wiped some more tears away from her friends flushed cheeks.

"Ginny...did...something happen?" Edina studied her friend with worried eyes.

"No! I'm just saying that if we-I mean you don't stop him then he will do it to some one else, and if you—feel like this then how will the next girl feel, when he actually gets to-to" she took a deep shaky breath. "rape her." she finished and then looked away from her friend.

"If I was her I wouldn't be able to live with myself." she said as she studied her friends face. Ginny's eyes were burning with hatred and her small hands were clenched into fists.

"Oh My God!" Edina said as realization hit her. "The day in 5th year, you left in a hurry after I asked what you thought of him, and then you didn't returne to us until a week ago." Edina continued as she put the pieces together. "Ginny are you the girl that—he"

Ginny nodded not wanting to hear the rest of her friends sentence, and then tears that she so desperately wanted to keep back came flowing down her red cheeks like a water fall.

Edina hugged Ginny close to her. "I'm so sorry Ginny. I didn't know, oh god!" she said as she let her friend cry on her shoulder.

"We have to tell Dumbledore," Ginny said as she pulled away from her friend and wiped some tears away. "or else some other lucky girl out there will feel how I feel." She said with sarcasm.

"We will, but I think we need a bit of time to calm down, okay." Edina said as she helped Ginny wipe her tears away. "We'll tell him on Monday, okay." Edina said and kissed her friends forehead.

Ginny nodded in agreement and looked at the note that was at the floor besides her bed. 'I guess you'll find out now Draco Malfoy, and then you'll hate me.' She said and turned her gaze back to her friend.

"Let's freshen up and then go get some breakfast." Edina said and got up off of her bed.

"Hey Edina, would it be okay if you move in here with me?" Ginny asked looking at her friend.

"If you want that I'll do it." she said with a small smile. Ginny nodded and then they went to get ready for breakfast.

------

Draco had been going crazy without talking to the little red head for a week now. 'What is she doing to herself?' he asked himself. 'What happened to staying away from her?' he heard his voice reminding him, but he ignored it.

The morning he decided that he would try and talk to her again, but talking to her in person wouldn't work, so he wrote her a quick note and handed it to Bellezza, his gray owl.

He waited to get a respond form her but there was nothing his owl came back empty. He scowled at her.

"Sorry, it's not your fault; I guess she just doesn't want to talk to me." He said as he stoked her neck.

A few minutes later he left his room to get some breakfast. When he arrived at the Dinning hall, his gray eyes searched the Gryffindor table for a red head, but she wasn't there.

He scowled in frustration and grabbed some pancakes and a cup of orange juice. He sat there picking at his food when he saw a flash of red in the corner of his eye. His head shot up immediately and he watched the youngest Weasley walked over to her house table with her closest friend. Edina. 'Maybe I could get her to help me find out what's wrong with Ginny.' He thought to himself.

He could see something different about her something was bothering her...and her friend. 'What is it with her? No what is it with you Draco Malfoy!' he asked himself.

He rolled his eyes as he got the cold shoulder from her again!

"Draykie aren't you going to eat?" Pansy Parkinson asked from across from him. He was so caught up that he hadn't even noticed her sitting in front him, or any of the girls that where around him.

"Stuff it Parkinson!" Draco said and flicked a piece of pancake at her. Draco heard a giggle from across the hall that sounded as if an angel was laughing, and his head shot in that direction and he smiled but she quickly turned her back to him again.

"Draykie, what is wrong with you?" Pansy asked in horror as she cleaned the piece of pancake off of her. Draco along with the other student's burst out laughing at her stupidity.

"Do you not get it! I hate you I don't want you in my sack so stay the fuck away from me!" he yelled at her and she just started back at him, and he knew she didn't understand.

He lifted the Maple Syrup and poured it all over her head. She jumped up and shrieked loudly.

"Oh lord Parkinson could you not yells like that it almost made me deaf!" and there it was again that jolly laugh that made him feel like he had butterflies in his stomach.

------

Ginny had been in a deep conversation with Edina at the end of the table when she heard a horrible sound from across the hall.

"Draykie aren't you going to eat?" Pansy Parkinson cried.

"Stuff it Parkinson!" she heard Draco say and she couldn't help the little smile that was forming on her lips. When she saw what he was about to do, she made Edina turn around to watch the show.

Ginny couldn't help but giggle. Then Parkinson added to it by asking "Draykie, what is wrong with you?" Ginny fell out of her seat laughing at how unbelievably stupid or naive Parkinson was.

"Do you not get it! I hate you I don't want you in my sack so stay the fuck away from me!" she head him yell at her once more and when she looked over she saw that Parkinson still didn't get it.

Ginny saw him lifting the Maple Syrup and pouring it all over Parkinson and she couldn't help but laugh.

She couldn't believe that even when they weren't talking he could make her feel safe, and let her self be who she is.

Heads turned towards the Gryffindor table as they all searched to find the person with enough guts to laugh at Parkinson.

When Ginny stopped laughing she lifted herself up so that she could sit down on the bench, but when she saw all the faces and especially Parkinson's and Malfoy's she began laughing again.

"How dare you laugh at me, Draykie tell her to stop." Pansy cried as she stood up.

"How stupid can some one get?" Ginny asked as she got a control of her laughing again, but this one as the last one didn't last very long. When she saw Pansy's face she couldn't help it but laugh again.

"DRAYKIE!" she cried for help.

"Oh my god!" Ginny cried as she tried to stand up. If this didn't stop anytime soon she would pee her pants, so she controlled her face from laughing like she had done in the begging with Draco.

"DRAYKIE!" she cried again.

Ginny pulled Edina to her feet and they started walking towards the door.

"Just what a filthy little weasel would do." Parkinson said with a smirk on her face.

Ginny stopped dead in her tracks, the word filthy stung her deeply.

From across the room Ron yelled. "Let the show begin."

Ginny slowly turned towards Pansy and her eyes once again were burning with hatred.

"Gin, let it go." Edina whispered, but instead Ginny walked right up to Parkinson, and stood her ground.

"Is that what you think Parkinson?" Ginny said with an unmistakable Malfoy smirk on her lips.

"My, my not only will she run, but she's stupid too." Parkinson sneered back.

"Me stupid!" Ginny said with unbelievably controllable voice.

"You heard me." Parkinson smirked back.

"Let's set the record straight." Ginny said with the Malfoy smirk still on her lips. "First Parkinson I skipped my 6th year, unless you're telling me stupid people can do that then okay. Second you're so god damn stupid that you can't take a hint!" Ginny said smiling at her, not a sweet innocent smile but an evil mean smile.

"Draykie!" Pansy screamed.

"Parkinson don't you see it! Draco here doesn't like you, god sure you were a convention cheap shag but that's all you'll ever be to him, and I don't know about you but the rest of the school knows that his name is D.R.A.C.O and NOT." she paused and smiled. "DRAYKIE!" she said in a mocking Pansy voice.

"Dray—"

"Oh stuff it already!" Ginny said as she levitated a bowl of whipped cream that was on the table and then she stopped it just mare inches away from Parkinson's face.

"Dray—"but Parkinson wasn't heard since Ginny pushed the bowl towards her face, and it stopped her horrible high pitch voice from saying it again.

The whole room erupted into laugher and suddenly all of the Slytherin's accepted her. Just then Professor Williams waked into the Dinning hall and saw what had happened.

"Silence!" he yelled for everyone to stop. "Miss Weasley 50 points from Gryffindor and detention with me NOW!" he said with a nasty smirk on his face. Ginny swallowed from crying out and closed her eyes for a second, when she opened them again Draco was standing in front of her.

"You okay." He asked with worry in his eyes.

Ginny nodded and walked away towards the Professor. "Everyone else stay in here until the headmaster come." The professor said and then followed Ginny out side of the Dinning hall.

------

Edina from the corner that she had been standing in had seen the whole thing happening and thought it was extremely hilarious until the Professor came in. When he gave Ginny detention, Edina swallowed hard. 'Oh no!' she cried to herself.

Ginny passed by her and gave her a sad look, a look that would have killed anyone who knew what was going on with the Professor and Ginny.

The second the two-left Edina collapsed to the floor, the people left in the hall gathered around the unconscious Edina.

When she woke up she was in the hospital wing.

"Ginny!" she screamed as she sat up straight.

Draco rushed back to her side as he heard Ginny's name. "What?" he asked looking worried.

"How long have I been out Malfoy?" Edina asked him.

"I just brought you here, so I guess about five or so minutes why?" he asked trying to study her face.

"Ginny!" this time she whispered her name in shock.

"Mr. Malfoy, move out of the way I have to heal her." Poppy said as she pushed Draco aside and then started to close the curtains around Edina's bed.

"Malfoy go find Ginny! Now!" Edina yelled.

"Why?"

"Just do it and take her to your room, and keep her safe." Edina's word worried him so he took off at a run.

As Draco ran out of the hospital wing he thought of where she might be. He stormed down the halls trying to think. 'THE DUNGONES' he thought to himself as a light bulb came on.

He ran for the stairs and when he saw Hermione at the stairs, the head girl. He stopped. "Come with me." he yelled as she grabbed her hand and started to pull her after him.

"Malfoy what in the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" Ron yelled after them.

"Malfoy" Hermione tried to say.

"Just follow me you'll understand why." He said as they ran down the stairs and then down many hallways.

"Why?" Hermione asked as they stopped.

"Ginny, do you know where that bastard took her?" Draco asked as his gray eyes scanned the halls.

"All I know it should be down here." She said and then looked around. "But why?" Hermione asked, even if he knew that she wouldn't get an answer.

"Nooo!" They heard Ginny cry from the end of the hall.

"FUCK!" he swore.

Hermione gave him a shocked look, but didn't say anything. "Come," Draco whispered and then pulled her behind him slowly.

They went to the end of the hall where they heard voices. "Please, not again." Ginny cried.

The word again stung Draco, and now there was nothing to stop him. He heard Hermione swallow behind him.

"But you forget Miss Virginia I still need to hear you moan my name." Hermione's eyes fell wide open as she recognized the other person's voice.

They heard Ginny cry again, and that was enough for Draco. Ginny was in pain and he was going to do whatever he had to, to stop her pain.

He flung the closets door open and dragged the professor out of it. Draco's fist connected with his jaw then the professor's stomach. "You bastard!" Draco yelled as the professor collapse to the floor, the second he hit the floor Draco's foot connected with his stomach.

Just then Harry and Ron came into view, from the bottom of the hallway. "Malfoy what the hell are you doing!" Harry yelled.

Hermione turned around and glared at him, and he gave a puzzled look.

"Come on we have to help the Professor or else Malfoy will kill him." Ron said from Harry's side.

They ran up the hall and Harry pulled Draco off of the Professor, and Ron was about to help him up when Ginny came out of the closet with her shirt ripped.

Ron looked at his sister then, Malfoy who was trying to get out of Harry's grip, and then down to the professor that was almost beaten to a puddle.

Just then the Weasley temper kicked in. "You bastard!" Ron yelled and started to beat the Professor up too.

Draco got out of Harry's grip and went to help Ron. While Hermione tried to stop Draco and Ron Harry went to Ginny.

"No Harry stay away!" she yelled, but Harry wouldn't listen.

"Ginny—"he tried, but Draco turned around and pushed Harry out of the way. When Hermione got Ron off of the Professor he went to his sister.

"Gin—"

"Ron, don't come closer." Ginny yelled at him too.

"But—"

Ginny collapsed to the floor crying. Draco rushed forward and gathered her in his arms. "Shhh, he won't hurt you any more, no one will." Draco soothed her, Ginny cried on his shoulder. Ron and Harry where furious that she would let a Malfoy touch her but not some one she knew a lot better.

Hermione turned to the boys. "Ron, you go get Snape and McGonagall." She said then turned to Harry. "You go get Dumbledore, he should be in a meeting, in his office." When they boys didn't movie Hermione yelled. "NOW!"

They took of running to find the professors.

Hermione watched Draco, and how gently he was being with Ginny.

Draco tried to movie away from her but he held him tighter. "Ginny I'm not going anywhere I just want to put this around you." He said as he took his cloak off, and put it around Ginny.

When he was done with the cloak he pulled her even closer to him. He wiped away her tears and pulled her hair away from her face.

He then looked deep into her eyes. "Don't worry, I wont let anyone hurt you, ever again." He said and then picked her up.

"I'm taking her to a room, it's just around the corner, the password is 'Red Love'." and then he carried Ginny to the room.

Hermione had seen the way he had be taking care of her, and she knew that he was in love with Ginny.

She turned her attention to wards the people that where rushing down the hall towards her.

"Where is Ginny and Malfoy!" Ron yelled.

Hermione ignored him and turned her attention towards the headmaster and the professors.

"What happened?" McGonagall voiced.

"Professor Williams, Well from all I know he raped Ginny Weasley, not once but more times." She said and heard Ron take a shaky breathe to calm himself down.

"HE WHAT!" he yelled after not being able to control his temper. He wasn't waiting for an answer he just lunched forwards and started to beat the Professor again.

"Mr. Weasley Stop this!" McGonagall cried.

Harry rushed forwards and pulled his friend away.

"Where is my sister!" Ron yelled when he was pulled away.

No one answered him.

"Miss Granger do you know?" McGonagall asked.

Hermione gave one nod.

"Hermione tell me where she is!" Ron yelled.

"No Ron!" she answered in a dangerous voice.

"Mr. Potter take Mr. Weasley to my office and wait there." Dumbledore spoke up.

Ron was about to protest but Harry pulled him away. When they left Dumbledore and the other two Professors turned to Hermione.

"Please tell us where Miss Weasley is." McGonagall said.

"I'm sorry Professors that I can't." this was the first time Hermione had said no to a professor, and she wouldn't budge from her decision. Ginny needed Draco, now more then ever, and that's what she would get.

"Very well." Dumbledore said with admiration in his eyes.

"Severus, take Williams to the hospital wing, and don't let him out of you're sight." Snape pulled his wand out and levitated him towards the hospital wing.

"Minerva, Hermione, follow me to my office." he said.

Before they left McGonagall cleaned up the blood that was on the floor with a swish of her wand and Hermione closed the closet door, and just like that it looked like nothing had happened there.
