A/N-I'm getting over my writers block!!!! I am so happy!!! Any flamers will get a nasty E-mail, unless of course it's only the plot you don't like…Please be nice R and R!
'Virginia! Stay with me! I know it hurts just focus your mind away from the pain! Talk to me Ginny!' Draco thought desperately.
'Draco…' Andthen it was gone.
"Ginny!!!" Draco screamed to the emptiness of her room. He heard the shuffling footsteps of Mrs. Weasley's feet and seconds later her head appeared in the door way.
"Are you alright dear? I heard you shouting Ginny's name."
"I was talking to her! In my mind I mean!" Mrs. Weasley looked at him like he was two and was talking about a little bunny he saw that talked, named Bob. "Don't look at me like that, it's true!"
"Honey… We all miss Ginny but even I can't pretend that I heard her talking to me, even if it is in your mind." Mrs. Weasley said tenderly.
"Fine, if you won't believe me, I'll just have to tell Dumbledore instead!" With that said Draco stood up off the bed and stalked right out of the room not even noticing when Mrs. Weasley quietly entered the now empty room and closed the door. He went to the fireplace, grabbed some floo powder and floo-ed right into a very important conversation that he was sure was about him.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy! To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?" Dumbledore asked.
Draco raised an eyebrow at the inquirery but cut straight to the chase. "I talked to Ginny." Sure it was blunt but he needed to get it out. Dumbledore looked shocked but his eyes gave away the truth; he already knew.
'Damn him!' Draco thought.
"Could I please have a private word with Mr. Malfoy gentlemen?" he men around the old wizard nodded and left. "We'll just wait a second, Mr. Malfoy, for them to stop listening behind the door." There was a shuffling outside the door and a murmur of 'How did he know?' and Dumbledore turned to Draco. "Now, Mr. Malfoy, I believe you wanted to see me?"
'Duh!' Draco thought. "Yes sir. I talked to Ginny… Well through my mind…I don't know if it counts a talking but I did. She said Lucius was raping her. Voldemort already did. She was really scared. She told me to help her… She's at Malfoy Manor." Draco looked away to hide the tears in his eyes. Dumbledore mumbled something about sending an owl to someone ad left Draco to himself.
Sighing, Draco slumped over in a chair with his head in his hands. An hour later, He was still crying (A/N-He's allowed to cry, the love of his life has been raped twice and he has no way to save her…Yet). Fawks looked at him in a way that someone on the outside looking in would think to be almost concerned. And the bird was. He fluttered down from his perch and settled himself on the back of the chair. Draco looked up and gave the bird a questioning look. It just cocked its head and blinked almost stupidly at him as if asking, 'Why are you looking at me?' Draco was about to ask it what it wanted when an owl flew in and dropped a letter in his lap. He looked at it scrutinizingly and cautiously lifted it up to open it. He flipped it over and saw it had the Malfoy crest on it. Scoffing, he made to throw it in the fire when Fawks grabbed it and skillfully opened it, holding it open in his beak.
'That is one weird bird,' Draco thought. He shook his head and took the letter. It looked like it had Ginny's writing on it. His eyes widened as he read the letter. When he finished he rushed out of the office to find Dumbledore. He met him just as he was coming out of the owlry; Dumbledore looked at him and took the letter that Draco offered. Dumbledore looked at it and rushed off saying something about calling the order immediately. Draco followed in a way that still made him look like he owned the school but that he didn't want to. Passing teachers thought it odd that a student was here but made no move to send him back home.
Upon entering the older wizards office Draco noticed Fawks on his perch looking very pleased with himself. Shaking his head Draco noticed Dumbledore toss some floo powder in the fire place and stick his head in. Ten minutes later the offices was filled with a couple dozen witches and wizards. Dumbledore magically copied the letter and gave each person a copy. He gave Draco the original and told him to go to the Slytherin dorm room and get some sleep. Draco willingly obliged and left the office to the Slytherin common room. When he reached the entrance hall, instead of turning left and going to the dungeons, he turned right and headed up to the Gryffindor common room. He reached the portrait of the fat lady and walked straight through the open portrait hole. Sitting in front of the roaring fire, ('that's odd,' He thought) He took out the letter and re-read it.
Dear Draco,
I don't have much time to write this. I'm in your fathers study, I know I shouldn't be but I had to. I had to talk to you; I'm staying the third largest room (I managed to talk Tom out of staying with you father), there's a clock I here… I know you're thinking what does that have to with anything? But I was thinking that we could think something at like 9:00… That's when Tom goes to bed and he expects all his death eaters to be in bed by then too. I'm not sure… Crap he's coming! I got to finish this quickly and hide. At 9:00 think I love you… I'll be thinking the same thing… Please be there… I love you
Love Ginny
PS-
There was a drop of ink and beside it the word help. Draco desperately wanted to know how she managed to find the only owl in Malfoy Manor and send the letter to him. He looked at the clock and saw it was 8: 45. He started counting down from 900 (A/N-15 X 60900). He got to 600 and realized he was really bored. He looked at the clock… 10 minutes left. Not wanting to count anymore, he started pacing. Four minutes later he looked at the clock… 6 minutes left. He stopped pacing finding it pointless and started thinking about his first Hogsmede visit with Ginny…
FLASHBACK
"Good morning, Gin"' Harry said enthusiastically.
"Yah, yah," Ginny mumbled angrily.
"Sorry for being happy about it being the weekend."
"That's not what you're so bloody happy about and you know it. You're happy that Draco told me he wouldn't go to Hogsmede with me! So If you kindly fusking piss off I am going to go down to the lake." With that Ginny stood up and walked down to the lake. When she got there she saw it was already occupied by the one and only (hopefully) Draco Malfoy. She walked around the rock he was sitting on and started walking to the other part of the lake. As she sat down she heard the familiar footsteps of Draco approaching. She sighed and kept her gaze fixed on the lake.
"So just because I'm not going you're not going to go either?" He said with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"You're not going so there's no point as I see it."
"You really wanted me to go didn't you?"
"You really are stupid aren't you? Of course I wanted you to go! I wanted to spend one frigging day with my boyfriend! I don't see a problem with that!" Ginny cried standing up.
"There isn't a problem with that…although you left as soon as I said no! I wanted to send time with you Ginny, I really did but I don't think that being in a crowd of people who are watching us and whispering to each other about how wrong they think it is for a Slytherin and a Gryffindor to be hanging out, much less being civil to each other is a good way to do it." Draco said sincerely.
"Well that does make sense… But I still want to know why you said no!"
I just told you!" Ginny gave him a look that clearly said she didn't believe him. "Okay… I was kicked out of Hogsmede… My father did some stuff and they thought it was me… So I was kicked out of Hogsmede for about two months." Ginny burst out laughing.
"I really don' believe that! Come on we're going to Hogsmede." Ginny grabbed Draco by the cuff of his shirt and dragged him to the Whomping Willow where she picked up a stick and a rock from the ground and, using the stick, poked a knot in the tree. She ran to an opening and when Draco was inside with her, threw the rock at the stick and knocked it off the knot. They ran through-
END PARTIAL FLASHBACK
Draco was shook out of his reverie by the clock chiming 9:00. He closed his eyes and pictured Ginny's face while thinking, 'Are you there Gin?' here was silence and then…
'You BITCH!' It was Tom Riddle… He sounded really mad.
'Virginia? Are you there? What's happening?'
'Draco! Oh thank Merlin! You did get my letter! Tom found out… He's punishing me… It hurts…'
'He's not raping you again is he?'
'No according to him, it's not as much fun the second time around… He's beating me to a bloody pulp though.'
'You make it sound like it's nothing.'
'Well you can't exactly show emotions in your thoughts, Malfoy… I mean Draco!'
'Malfoy? Since when am I Malfoy to you?'
'I'm really just… I'm sorry… I love you.'
'I love you too… Are you okay?'
'No, it hurts, he's left but it hurts so much.'
'It's okay Ginny, I'm here… I'm at Hogwarts, in the Gryffindor common room…'
'Could you go up to the sixth year girls' dorm? By the bed directly beside the window there is a loose brick, it's a shade darker than the other bricks. I need you to go up and get what's in there.'
'Sure babe, hold on a second,' Draco thought. He stood up and went to the dorm Ginny had pointed out (A/N-Well kinda). Half an hour later he had found the brick and pushed it out of the way. Inside a small hollow were a mirror and a small necklace with a little baby-blue teardrop on the end. He picked up the necklace and felt it warm up at his touch. He looked in the mirror and saw Ginny sitting on a bed twittling her thumbs. She was black, blue and red from the beating she had gotten. Draco felt his heart go out to her.
'Ginny? I got them.'
'Put the necklace on…'
Draco did as he was told as soon as he did he felt immediately light headed. He sat down on the nearest bed and rubbed his temples. The feeling wouldn't go away.
'Lie down and go to sleep Draco, I'll be in your dreams… Good night, love… I love you.' Draco gladly laid down and closed his eyes. Only seconds before sleep took, he realized he never found out what the necklace did.
A/N-So how was it? I know it took a while but my writers block hasn't exactly gone away. I need ideas! I don't know what the necklace does yet but I will… I don't know when but I will. R and R please… Flames are welcome… actually no they're not but W/E your choice!
