To anyone who cares, I don't care that Ginny's real name is Ginevra, Virginia sounds better to me and I know her middle name is Molly but I like Ann :D
Here's to another shot of vodka! Hehe, kidding! Here's to another shot at 11 pages! (Takes a swig of vodka) Oh, that burns on the way down…
"WHAT KEEPS ON HAPPENING!" Ginny screamed, trying as had as she could not to close her eyes. Her attempts were futile and she had to blink. As she carefully opened her eyes she was surprised to see that everyone was still there. Ginny collapsed on the ground and started crying. She was so confused, held captive in some random death-eaters house and she was pretty sure that Tom was gonna let a death-eater attack her house.
Draco, forgetting for a moment that he was in pain, rushed to Ginny's side and crouched beside her. "Ginny what's wrong?" She looked up and wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him for dear life. Lifting her up, Draco approached Bellatrix again, "I think we should leave. Please, for Ginny's sake." He said the last part while looking at Tom, his eyes pleading with Tom to leave. Tom nodded and dismissed Bellatrix, leading them back to the dungeons himself. When they were on the so called bed he locked the door and left them. Draco, realizing Ginny was asleep leaving him with nothing to distract himself, hissed in pain and almost dropped Ginny in the process. He carefully, well as carefully as he could, put her down, well aware that she could wake up at a moments notice and went to sit on the small bench attached to the wall of the cell. He opened his button-down shirt and winced at the bruise. It was purple, blue, green, black and, in some places, slightly red. He shook his head and leaned against the wall.
…
Ginny cracked open her eyes to see Draco leaning his head against the wall and cringing in pain. She glanced down at his abdomen and winced at the bruise. She stood up silently and approached him. She put her hand over the bruise, running feather light fingers over it. Seeing him wince she shook her head and went to the bars.
"Tom!" She yelled to the emptiness.
"Hey! Shut up!" A guard somewhere in the darkness off to her right yelled.
"I need Tom! Please!" Ginny cried desperately.
"He's asleep chit! He said-"
"What is it you want pet?" Tom said, interrupting the guard.
"Where did you come from! Never mind! I need your wand! Please!" Ginny all but yelled.
Tom looked at her, "Yes and I'm gonna let you escape, why?"
"Tom please, Draco's hurt. Look." She pointed at the Bruise that was getting bigger by the minute. "You did that. You hurt him, Tom. Please just let me help him, please." Her voice slowly leveled out to a whisper. She looked down, wiping away tears. Tom sighed mentally and handed her his wand, ignoring the exclamations from the guard. Ginny looked up at him thankfully and rushed over to Draco. He opened his eyes. "I'm here Draco, I'm here." She pointed Tom's wand at the bruise and said, "Waise heill" As the bruise disappeared, Draco's breathing slowly became less labored and he eventually was able to move around without pain. Ginny smiled and went back to the cell doors where Tom was waiting. She tried to give back the wand but he shook his head, "Keep it, it's yours." With that he left Ginny looked down at the wand, confused. He had just handed her the key to their escape! He had almost literally, opened the front door and bid them a good day. She sighed. Maybe tomorrow, she thought. She went over to where Draco was on the 'bed' and lay down next to him. She closed her eyes and drifted into the deepest sleep of her life.
…
"Ginny, wake up!" Draco whispered urgently. Ginny cracked open her eyes. Lucius was standing over them with his wand pointed straight at Ginny. She sat up and scrambled toward the wall wanting to get as far from him as possible. Tom walked in at that moment and looked at the scene in front of him. He jerked his head at the door forcing Lucius to lower his wand and obey. Lucius walked to the door of the cell and paused to turn his head and sneer at Ginny. She shuddered as he left the dungeons.
"My pet, what are you doing with my wand?" Tom raised an eye brow and plucked the wand from Ginny's outstretched hands. He looked it over and nodded in approval. He then glanced down at the other people in the room, all two of them, and left swiftly.
"You had his wand!" Draco asked when he left.
Ginny gulped and stared at her hands, "Yah," She said softly. She blinked back tears. Seconds later she broke down sobbing onto Draco's shoulder. He wrapped her in a firm embrace, whispering soothing things in her ear.
…
She had stopped crying a little over an hour ago but Draco refused to let her go. Just seconds before he drifted off to sleep he thought, is this really what she wanted? To be with me? In danger everyday I don't deserve her.
…
They were a woken again by a loud bang. Ginny lifted her head to see someone standing in the doorway. She squeaked in surprise and smacked Draco in an attempt to wake him up. When he cracked open his eyes it was not grey that Ginny saw, but black. As if Draco had one pupil and no iris… It scared Ginny to no end. She backed away from him and hit he head against the wall. Black dots swam in her vision before she blacked out.
…
At first she was aware of voices. What they were saying she had no clue. Then she was aware of the fact that her hands were strapped to what felt like a table. As her brain began to wake up more and more she began to understand what was being said.
"When will it be done, master?" Asked a voice.
"Midnight! Ten minutes, we need to do it during the full moon or it won't work." Hissed another voice. She recognized that one. She knew it from so long ago… So very long ago. The voice still sent shivers through her very soul. That was Voldemort (A/N-No flinching now :D lol). Wait Voldemort! What happened to Tom! She opened her eyes and instantly regretted it. Standing over her was Voldemort, Wormtail, Lucius, Zabini and… Pansy Parkinson!
"Weasley's awake, master," Parkinson said, sneering at Ginny.
"Ahhh, yes, my little test subject." Voldemort smirked and trailed one long bony finger along her jaw. She winced at the feeling.
"Get your hands off of her!" A voice yelled from across the room. Ginny turned her head to see Draco. She would have smiled, had it not been for the predicament they were in. She shot him a look that clearly told him to shut up. He nodded and clamped his mouth shut, glaring at Voldemort.
"Tom," Ginny whispered, drawing Voldemort's attention back to her, "I know you don't want to do this. I know you would never hurt me. Don't forget who you are, please." For a moment Ginny could see Tom's brown eyes but they were gone as quickly as they had come. "Don't let him take over Tom," Somewhere in the distance a bell sounded marking midnight.
One, two, three…
"Don't do this Tom!" Ginny yelled as Voldemort nodded to Pansy.
Five, six, seven…
"Infusco!" Pansy said pointing her wand at Ginny's heart.
Ten, eleven, twelve…
The pain was worse than anything Ginny had ever experienced, but she did not cry out. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Un, dues, trios, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. The pain seemed to grow with every second, every minute. Focusing her every thought on Draco and the present she had made for his birthday, Ginny tried to block the pain out. She opened her eyes and found herself looking through the ceiling at the full moon. Lupin would be a werewolf right at this very moment, Ginny thought. She could have slapped herself, she was in mortal danger and she was thinking about werewolves! She really was-
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Pain laced through her very soul to her heart and right back out to her left forearm. This couldn't be happening! She had only read about the process! Never in her wildest dreams had she, Virginia Ann Weasley, ever thought that she would be forced to get the dark mark. It couldn't be happening! She looked over at Draco with teary eyes and found that he was being forced to watch her. He had tears running down his face and, in his eyes, Ginny could see regret. Wait, regret?
The thought was pushed away from Ginny's mind as a fresh wave of pain attacked. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth again. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.
Tears were flowing down Ginny's cheek's like there was no tomorrow. This couldn't be happening. Her Tom would never do this; her Tom was the one who gave her his wand to heal Draco. Her Tom was the one who let her read any book in the library. Her Tom was almost gone, but he was not lost. She mustered up all the energy she had left and, ignoring the pain said, "Tom." One simple word would, hopefully stop all the pain and torture she was going through.
She cried out as the pain increased to an almost deathly level. So as she had before, she closed her eyes gritted her teeth and took deep breaths. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And just as she thought she couldn't take it anymore, it stopped. It all stopped. The pain, the tears, the screaming… The counting even. She glanced over at Draco who was being taken down from the wall he had been chained to. He was shoved out the door towards the dungeons and out of sight. Ginny glanced at everyone else around her. Pansy was looking proud at her job well done and Lucius was no where to be seen, as was Zabini. Voldemort looked at her through clouded eyes.
"Tom," Ginny whispered, looking him right in the eyes. She could see brown swirling in their depths.
Voldemort glared, "I - am - Lord – Voldemort," He said, stressing every word. He looked her directly in the eyes.
"Fine," Ginny replied, "But know this, part of the real you will always be here, with me, in my heart." She closed her eyes then, allowing darkness to overtake her.
…
Pain, that's all she was aware of in the morning. A blinding pain that would never go away. Ginny sat up and looked around. She was back in her cell with Draco. He was sitting on the bench with his head in his hands. He was shaking and Ginny knew he was crying. She crawled painfully over to him and sat in front of him.
"What's wrong Draco?" She asked softly, startling him.
He looked up, tars still falling down his face, "I made a promise, Ginny, a promise. I said I wouldn't put you in any trouble, ever. And now look where you are." He choked out.
"This isn't your fault Draco," Ginny said soothing putting her right hand on his leg as her left was numb with pain and she wasn't sure if she could move it properly. "Do you know what happened last night?" She asked. At the shake of his head, Ginny shot him a surprised look and slowly lifted up the sleeve of her ripped and tattered blouse. She winced in pain and lifted it up with her right arm to show Draco. He trailed his fingers over it and his head. Ginny hissed in pain and he tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
"This is what I mean Ginny, this never should have happened."
Ginny smiled slightly, "Well at least I like snakes…" Draco didn't laugh. The corners of his mouth didn't even twitch. "Draco it doesn't matter. What's done is done; we don't have to worry about it happening again. It will be okay."
"You don't get it-" he was interrupted by a crash from above them. Ginny looked up and moved toward Draco in fright. The ceiling was cracking, if it fell, they would be dead if they didn't move. Rocks fell from the ceiling littering the ground. Ginny and Draco pushed against the wall in an attempt to escape to get away from the rubble. In one swift motion the ceiling was torn apart and thrown away somewhere over head. A head snaked through and looked the couple in the eye. Ginny squealed and ran toward the beast. Not a beast, Draco realized, but a dragon. A redhead dropped through the ceiling landing in front of Draco. The boy nodded to him and turned around to talk to Ginny.
"Charlie! What are you doing here! Not that I'm not happy to see you… But… Why do you have Norbert with you!"
"Norbert?" Draco asked, cautiously moving forward to stand next to Ginny. The boy-Charlie?-flung his arms around his little sister, missing the hiss of pain she made as he knocked against her arm. She bit her lip to prevent herself from crying out and hugged him back. When she pulled away her eyes were glistening with tears and she was gently cradling her left arm.
"What's wrong Gin?" Charlie asked worried.
"I'll tell you all when we get back… That way you're all there and… I only have to say it once… One time…" With that she turned around and hopped onto Norbert's neck so he could help her through the hole. After giving Draco a boost up, Charlie got on and Norbert snaked his head up and out of the hole and around so they could get onto his back. When they were all settled, he ran to a giant Norbert shaped hole in the wall and jumped out of it. He soared away from the manor and into the darkness and back home.
Home… Haven't been there in a while… Ginny thought as they flew through the night. They flew over villages, cities and acres and acres of farm land. Finally they made it back to Hogwarts.
"Doesn't Norbert have to go back to Romania, Charlie?" Ginny asked as Norbert made his was over to Hagrid's cabin.
"Nah, I reckon Hagrid will want to say hello." Ginny laughed and led the way up to the castle. She walked through the doors to the entrance hall, allowing Charlie to take the lead as she was unsure of where to go. Charlie led them to Dumbledore's office. Ass they walked through the doors, Charlie motioned for them to be quiet. Ginny looked into the room and saw Hermione, Harry, Ron, her mum and dad, Tonks, Shackbolt, Lupin and Fred and George standing in front of Dumbledore's desk with their backs to the trio. And although he had not looked up, Ginny was pretty sure that Dumbledore knew they were in the room.
"So it's settled? We'll go tomorrow?" Harry was saying.
"Go where?" Ginny asked. She winked at Draco. No one turned around as they walked further into the room.
"To Avery manor," Harry replied, still not turning around.
"Why would you want to go there?" Ginny asked, wrinkling her nose.
"To save Ginny! I think you're a little behind in the times."
"And I think you're mentally retarded!" Ginny said.
"Thank you! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that," Draco said, smiling at Ginny. Finally Harry turned around, everyone else following suit. They all stood there gaping at Ginny like a fish out of water.
"I know I'm beautiful," Ginny said, "But I would thank you not to ogle in public."
As if snapping out of a trance, everyone crowded around Ginny, fussing over her. Every time her arm was jostled, she let out a hiss of pain, but Draco was the only one who noticed.
"Why don't we all sit down?" He said loudly. Everyone stopped fussing over Ginny and took a seat. When they sat down they looked over to Ginny who was cradling her arm and grimacing. Hermione was the first to notice.
"What's wrong Ginny?" She asked.
Ginny sighed dejectedly knowing she would have to answer the question sooner or later. She sat down and took a long deep breath. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega.
"I have to show you something," She said finally. She slowly rolled up her sleeve, everyone held their breath. As the Dark mark was revealed, Hermione, Tonks and Mrs. Weasley gave a squeak of fright.
Ron was the first to talk, "Why Gin?"
Ginny looked at Draco and they burst out laughing. When they stopped Ginny explained, "You think I joined their ranks?" At Ron's stiff nod, Ginny chuckled. "Yes Ronald, yes I did. No! God, are you retarded? They-they forced it on me." With that she proceeded to explain what happened during her visit to Avery manor. She left out the bits about the wand and the whole library episode. But other than that she explained, with very little detail, what happened.
At the end of her speech, Dumbledore stood up, "I think you could use a nap. Why don't you go to Gryffindor tower and rest?" Gunny nodded and grabbed Draco's hand, not wanting to go anywhere without him. He stood up and led her to the tower silently.
"Will you stay with me Draco?" Ginny whispered when Draco brought her up to her dorm. (A/N-I know that guys can't go up there but I'm just gonna pretend that the spell was taken off for the holidays :D)
"Okay Gin," Draco said. He got into the bed, wrapping his arms around Ginny's form protectively. She rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes.
"Well this certainly has been a lovely summer vacation." Ginny whispered softly.
"Oh yah, it was a hoot!" Draco replied, "One that I wouldn't want to repeat."
Ginny laughed slightly, "I love you, Draco."
"Draco smiled, "I love you too, Gin. Now sleep, I'll see you in the morning."
Ginny fell asleep with a smile on her face, content for the first time in weeks. It was just before he fell asleep that Draco realized he still didn't know what Ginny's necklace did. (A/N-Mind you, I'm not entirely sure myself…)
…
Meanwhile, in Dumbledore's office, Harry was questioning where Ginny's loyalties really lied.
"Do you really think she telling the truth?" He asked.
"Harry! That's my baby up there!" Mrs. Weasley cried indignantly.
"I know-"
"And my sister!" Ron pointed out, glaring at Harry.
"I know that but how do we know that she isn't up there with Malfoy right now plotting a way to kill us all, or help death-eaters storm the castle?" Every one loved at Harry then at Dumbledore.
He sighed, "We can use veritaserum if it set's your mind at ease, Harry, but honestly, Ginny Weasley? A death-eater? It seems highly unlikely."
Every nodded in agreement and headed there separate ways for bed.
…
Knock, knock, knock…
Ginny groaned and rolled over in bed.
Knock, knock, knock…
Ginny hissed wishing the noise would go away.
Knock, knock, knock…
Ginny sat up in bed and mentally cursed whatever was making the noise. "WHAT!" She yelled.
"Umm, Ginny?" Asked Hermione from the other side of the door.
Ginny sighed and got up to answer the door.
"Hey Ginny," Hermione said uncertainly.
"What's up?" Ginny asked, lifting up her left arm to scratch the back of her head. Hermione squeaked and reminded Ginny of what was there. She lowered her arm and hid it behind her back.
"Can I see it?" Hermione asked softly. Ginny nodded and held out her arm. Hermione lightly traced her fingers around it, not wanting to hurt Ginny. "Did it hurt?" She asked. Ginny snorted. "Right stupid question." She gave Ginny her arm back and looked down at her hands nervously. "Umm… Dumbledore wants you to come to his office… Umm… Harry seems to think that, uh, you're, umm…"
"Just come out and say it Hermione! Harry seems to think that I'm a what! A death eater!" At Hermione's nod, Ginny gave a short hollow laugh, "Figures, when?"
"Umm, as soon as possible?" Hermione said uncertainly. Ginny nodded and closed the door without another word. She turned to see Draco watching her.
"They don't trust me anymore do they?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't think so. Just 'cause you have the mark you're deemed untrustworthy. Snape has it and they all trust him, I fail to see why you're so special."
Ginny looked at him pointedly. "You know what I mean!" Draco said standing up and wrapping his arms around her. "I love you Ginny, I really do."
Ginny sighed and wrapped her arms around Draco, "I just don't get it. I went to the department of mysteries with them! I fought with them! And now one bloody tattoo that I never wanted in the first place and all the trust we had… It's all gone." She buried her head in Draco's chest in an attempt to stifle her sobs.
Draco pulled her away slightly to look at her, "Hey! I still trust you! They just don't know you like I do!" Ginny smiled at him through her tears and nodded. Wiping away a few stray tears, Draco said, "Now you need to get dressed and pretty yourself up so we can go prove you're not a traitor and that everyone else has mental issues!" Ginny laughed ant went to her trunk; how it got there she'll never know. She threw on a pair of jeans and a tight black t-shirt, brushed her hair putting it into a high pony tail and grabbed Draco's hand, leading him back to Dumbledore's office. When she entered everything went silent, making her roll her eyes. She sat down in a chair in the middle of the room, Draco grabbing a chair and sitting down beside her. Dumbledore nodded to Snape who went to Ginny and pulled out a vile of some clear substance. Snape put an eye dropper in and squeezed the rubber thing on the end. He pulled it back out and instructed Ginny to open her mouth. She did so and he put three drops on her tongue.
Dumbledore nodded to Harry who approached her and asked, "Name?"
"Virginia Ann Weasley." Ginny replied in an extremely monotone voice that made Draco cringe slightly.
"Age?"
"16."
"Are you in line with death-eaters?"
"No."
"What is on your left arm?" Harry asked vehemently.
"The dark mark."
"Do you know how you got it?"
"Yes."
"Tell us."
"It was a full moon. Pansy Parkinson raised her wand and pointed it at my heart, she said 'Infusco'. It was pain beyond comparison." Ginny fell silent, unconsciously cradling her left arm.
"Have you ever been under the cruciatus curse?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Ginny replied, earning a small shriek from her mum, though it went unnoticed.
"When?"
"At Avery manor. About a week after my capture."
"And yet you say that getting the dark mark is pain beyond comparison?"
"Have you ever received the dark mark?"
"Hey! She's supposed to be under the effects of Veritaserum!"
"It wore off Potter, answer the question."
Harry looked to Dumbledore who just nodded his head.
Harry sighed. "No."
"Then how can you know? How do you know that it's not worse than the cruciatus curse? I've experienced both! Look!" She held out her arm pointing at the ugly mark, "I will never be free of him now! I have suffered so much more than you! I have been bloody possessed by the bastard! I have been raped, I have been whipped, I have been bloody tricked by him! What have you done! You have no idea the pain I went through! Were you there Harry? Huh! WERE YOU!" Ginny was on her feet now. Her whole body was shaking with rage. "YOU GOT YOUR ANSWERS SO CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! You weren't there. You never watched. You never heard me cry out in pain. You didn't listen to me whimper when he was done. You didn't hear him laugh as I cried myself to sleep night after night in fear that I would never see my family, my friends, my boyfriend ever again! You weren't there! You cannot accuse me of lying when you have not experienced it. It is painful. Ask professor Snape, this not something you can easily forget. I never will. I will never be able to. It's etched into my mind; it will stay with me forever. Until the day I die." Ginny sat down, her body raking with sobs. Draco wrapped his arms around her protectively.
"She's right Potter," Snape said surprising everyone, "You do not know pain until you have received the dark mark. Do not doubt what Miss Weasley says, she has wisdom beyond her years." Snape nodded to Dumbledore and left. Molly stood up and walked over to her daughter. Draco moved so she could comfort her.
"Mommy," Ginny whispered softly. "Mommy." Mrs. Weasley wrapped her arms around her and lifted her up carrying her out of the room.
"Are you happy now Potter! Do you have your bloody answers!" Draco glared at him one last time and left. Ron just stood up and left without even glancing at Harry. Hermione followed suit. Slowly, one by one, the room emptied until it was just Harry and Dumbledore left. Dumbledore cast a disappointed glance at Harry before leaving through a door off to the right that Harry believed to be Dumbledore's private chambers.
"What did I do?" Harry mumbled to himself before leaving. (A/N-Wow he's daft…)
…
"Mommy," Ginny whispered as she sat with Molly in the Gryffindor common room. Draco had gone up to the dorm's to give them some space.
"My poor baby," Molly said rocking Ginny back and forth on her lap. "I never knew hone, I never knew in the slightest."
"It's not your fault mum," Ginny said. She pulled back slightly to look in her mum's eyes, "You've been crying…"
Molly nodded and took Ginny off her lap and hugged the hell out of her. When she released her, Molly stood up, bud Ginny goodnight and left. Ginny sighed and fell back against the couch, looking at her arm. She took out her wand (Charlie had gotten it back for her) and mumbled a concealment charm. The mark was covered for a second before it appeared again with a sharp stab of pain. Ginny hissed and conjured up an ice pack with her wand. She placed it over the mark, reveling in the feeling, and with up to her dorm to see Draco on her bed examining the mirror she had told him to find. She noticed the necklace around his neck and smiled. She went over and sat beside him on the bed, taking the mirror from him.
"If you can't see me, and I can't find you, look in the mirror, it'll show you exactly where I am. It was charmed by Dumbledore himself. I found it and he told me to give it to my first love, that didn't work out so I gave it to you, though I must say, you are so much better than him. And I'm glad you have it." She leaned her head on his shoulder and lifted up the necklace, "This will link you to me, mind, body and spirit. If I'm in total pain, you will feel it, though not at the same level. Not all that much but whatever. Oh!" She stood up and ran to her trunk, "I still need to give you your birthday present!" She pulled out a black bag and pulled out a rectangular… thing. She turned it around and Draco gasped. It was a painting.
"Do you paint?" Draco asked.
"No! Are you retarded! No I brought in a muggle picture of you and me to a muggle painter and had them paint it. I was seriously debating whether I should wear a pink dress or not. Finally I decided on a black one, it looks good with my hair (A/N-unless you're completely daft, She died her hair black with blonde streaks)."
"This is the best present I have ever gotten Ginny, I love it." Draco wrapped an arm around Ginny and lowered his lips onto hers, lightly brushing them over hers before pulling away.
Ginny glared at him, "I have been in, like, jail almost for, like, weeks and that's all you're giving me! Nuh-uh! You ain't getting away with that!" She grabbed the painting from his hands and smashed (A/N-smashed?) her lips down onto his. She bit lightly on his lip and slid her tongue between his slightly parted lips. Their tongue's battled ferociously for a few minutes before they forced to part from a knock at the door.
"That's more like it," Ginny whispered softly. She then went to answer the door. Harry was standing there looking sheepish. "What do you want?" Ginny asked, glaring at him.
"I just wanted to apologize for what happened in Dumbledore's office…" He trailed off.
"I'm happy for you. You've apologized, now leave," Draco said coming to stand beside Ginny. She looked up at him smiling.
"I was talking to Ginny Malfoy!" Harry said harshly.
"Harry, whatever you say to me, you can say in front of Draco. You've graced us with your presence long enough, now leave. I don't want to talk to you right now." She turned on her heel and went to stand by the window with her back to the boy's
"I don't know what I did!" Harry grumbled, still standing in the doorway.
"You know what Potter? You are really dense! If you don't know what you did then we should ship you off to St. Mungo's, I hear the ministry has set up a room for you in the mental ward." Draco smirked.
"You're just sore 'cause you know you're losing Ginny to a real man," Harry replied.
Draco laughed, "Like whom? I hope you don't mean yourself!"
"I should teach you how to talk to your superiors!" Harry growled, pulling out his wand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Harry," Ginny said, still not turning around. "You do not want me mad at you!" Harry gave a low growl and stalked out of the room.
When she heard the door close, Ginny turned around. "I thought he would never leave!" She walked up to Draco and put her arms around him. She buried her face in his shirt and took a deep breath. "Cinnamon and coffee."
"Hm?" Draco asked looking confused.
Ginny smiled up at him, "That's how you smell, cinnamon and coffee. Mmmm, I could go for some coffee right now."
"Dobby can get that for you Miss Ginny!" Ginny squealed and turned around to Dobby looking at them with a hopeful look in his eyes. Ginny squealed and got down on her knees to hug the little creature.
"Dobby?" Draco asked, disbelief clear in his eyes, when Ginny released the elf.
"Master Draco!" The elf did a little dance and launched himself at Draco, latching onto his neck. Draco just patted the elf awkwardly on the back.
"Dobby was afraid Dobby would never see Master Draco again." Dobby said.
"I never knew you were working at Hogwarts," Draco said.
"Professor Dumbledore is nice enough to let Dobby work here and be paid and wear clothed and help all the other elf's…" Dobby trailed off. "Didn't Master Draco see Dobby when he was in detention with Miss Ginny?"
Draco blushed, "I didn't see you Dobby. Honestly I was trying to keep myself from snogging Ginny senseless then and there. I know I was supposed to be mad at you but I couldn't help it, you were just so damn beautiful." He said looking at Ginny, she blushed.
Dobby gasped then. "Dobby is forgetting his business. Miss Ginny wants a coffee, is that all?"
"Can I get some chocolate chip cookie dough too Dobby?" Ginny asked.
Dobby nodded enthusiastically before turning to Draco, "what does Master Draco want?"
Draco pondered it for about half a second, "Coffee and a bowl of chocolate chips please." Dobby clapped and disappeared with a snap of his fingers. He returned just minutes later with the couple's order. He bowed and disappeared without another word. Immediately Ginny grabbed her cookie dough and went to a secluded corner of the dorm room. She sat there just looking at the bowl before she pushed it away and dissolved into tears.
Draco rushed over, "What's wrong Gin?"
She shook her head, "Nothing, it's nothing." She stood up and headed out through the common room, down seven flights and out into the pouring rain, Draco following her the whole way. She ran to the lake and sat down, hugging her knees to her chest, rain water mingling with her tears.
Draco cautiously sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her. She turned her head to him and said, "Do you think it'll ever really go away?"
Draco didn't have to ask what it means, "I honestly don't know Ginny, I really don't."
"Let's go up to the castle before we catch a cold Ginny," Draco said after a few minutes.
"No," Ginny replied stubbornly, "I like the rain, I'm staying right here. You cannot make me move." Draco shook his head and wrapped his arms around Ginny lifting her up, one hand under her legs and one behind her shoulders. She squealed as he shifted her around thinking he was gonna drop her and wrapped her arms around his neck. She looked up questioningly when he turned right, heading to the dungeons instead of left, up to Gryffindor tower.
"I'm not going to carry you up seven flights of stairs!" Draco joked. Ginny just smiled and rested her head against his chest, crossing her arms lightly over her chest. Draco brought her to the Slytherin dungeons and up to the boy's dorms. He put her on a bed and muttered a drying charm on her and himself and crawled into the bed beside her. She snuggled up against him whispering, "Cinnamon and coffee," before falling asleep with a small smile on her face.

"MALFOY! WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN BED WITH MY SISTER!"
Ginny cracked an eye open to see Ron pointing at Draco. Draco was sitting at the end of the bed.
"You're going to wake up your sister, Weasley," Draco said.
Ginny groaned and sat up, resting her head on Draco's shoulder. "Too late," She said.
"Ginny! Do you know who he is!" Rom hissed at her.
Ginny gave an exasperated sigh, "I got this lecture when I started going out with him Ronald! I got it from you, mum, Harry, Hermione, Fred, George… Percy didn't really care and Bill and Charlie just told me to be careful. See they, unlike some people, want me to be happy. You obviously don't. Now leave."
Ron left after Ginny threatened him with her Bat Bogey curse. Ginny shook her head and lied back down, pulling Draco with her. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
"It's much too early for this," Ginny mumbled before letting sleep overtake her again.
