Draco was reading when Harry and Ron came rushing in, and looked up from his book in annoyance.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Draco, it's Ginny," Ron gasped from lack of air.
"What about her?" he asked, worried.
"She's- she's gone."
Draco stood up quickly, dropping his book. "Gone? What, she's missing?"
Ron nodded. "We were at Hogsmeade, and Harry and I went to the toilet-"
"And when you came back she was gone," Draco finished for him, striding out of the room. Ron and Harry had to run to catch up.
"You checked in all the shops?" he asked them.
"Everywhere," Harry said.
"Even the shrieking shack," Ron added, puffing.
"Take me to where you last saw her," Draco commanded.
Entering Hogsmeade, Harry and Ron took him to the Three Broomsticks, and stood outside.
"She was here when we left," Harry said, wondering what Draco could possibly figure out just from being there.
"Yep. Just as I suspected," Draco said grimly, and disapparated.
Ron and Harry looked at each other. "Wha?"
Draco walked through the manor, searching for his father. Before long, he could hear screams coming from the east wing, where Draco's old
bedroom was. He quickened his step as he realised the sounds were coming from his bedroom. He flung open the door and reeled back in
horror. He was- raping Ginny. Himself. Draco.
What in the world? He thought to himself as he ran across the room (well, it WAS a mansion, you'd think the bedrooms would be pretty big.).
"Stupefy!" he yelled forgetting once again to use his wand, and threw himself (the other one) across the room, where he lay, unconscious.
Draco looked back at Ginny and winced. She had blood and bruises all over the place, from where he-the other him- had beaten her to try and
subdue her. She was now unconscious- Draco guessed due to the stunner he had thrown- it had probably hit her as well. He moved towards
the guy who had raped her. He was just coming to when Draco reached her, and he groaned.
Draco grabbed him by the back of his shirt, and pushed him up against the wall roughly, about to choke him.
"Who are you?" he asked, beyond anger.
His mirror image suddenly laughed. "Why Draco, I AM you."
Draco slammed the boy into the wall.
"How dare you! You are not me!" he yelled, and began to choke him.
"I am you. I am your identical. I am you," he gasped.
"I would never do… what you just did," Draco said quietly, dangerously.
"When you chose to defy the Dark Lord's plan for you, I was created," the boy said harshly. "I am everything evil about you."
(I am going to call his evil side Yami Draco from now on.)
Draco stepped back, and, thinking that it was his chance to escape, Yami Draco tried to. Draco caught him before he'd gone two feet, and
slammed him back against the wall.
"Ever come near her again," Draco snarled "and I will rip you from limb to limb."
Yami Draco slid down the wall and onto the floor, once again unconscious. Draco headed back across the room to Ginny, and wrapped her in
a blanket. He picked her up, and turned towards the door, and stopped.
Harry and Ron were standing there, looking ready to kill.
"Guys," he said weakly. "It wasn't me."
"I guess we'll have to find out the truth from Ginny when she wakes," Ron said coldly.
"Guys, I can prove it. The guys over there, unconscious!" Draco turned to show them and stopped. Yami Draco was nowhere to be seen, and
neither was any of the blood.
Ron came over and took Ginny from Draco, and glared at him.
"You ever come near me or my family again, and I will kill you," he said murderously, and held his sister protectively against his chest. He
then disapparated, and Harry stepped forward. "Unfortunately for you, there won't BE a next time," he said, and pulled out his wand. "Avada
Keda-"
"Expelliarmus!" a voice yelled, and Harry's wand flew from his hand to land in Professor Dumbledore's.
"Harry, Draco deserves a fair trial," he said in a controlled voice. "For now, we must go back to Hogwarts. Dumbledore crossed the room and
reached out a hand to hold Draco's shoulder. The three then disapparated, to find themselves in Hogsmeade. Dumbledore led the way back to
the castle, and Harry kept his now returned wand aimed at Draco.
"What did Draco do to you, Ginny?"
Ginny trembled, her eyes fixed on Draco. "He… he made me promise not to tell," she said, a tear slipping down her cheek.
"Now now Ginny, Draco can't hurt you," Dumbledore said gently. "This magical cage stops the person inside it from leaving it until he is
commanded to, and stops him from using any magic whatsoever, even if he has the Talent."
Ginny shuddered, and continued in a soft voice, barely above a whisper. "He beat me because I screamed, and he wouldn't stop. He ripped
off my clothes, and…and," she couldn't go on.
Dumbledore nodded, and left the room swiftly.
Ron leapt at Draco, and his hands closed around his throat. "You fucking moron! I thought you had changed, but you're really just a lying
bastard!" Ron yelled, tears streaming down his face. He pulled out his wand. "I'm going to kill you for hurting my sister!"
Draco stared blankly back at him. "Alright."
Taken aback, Ron looked at him, in confusion, then shoved his wand back in his pocket, and he and Harry helped Ginny exit the room. Draco
felt the magical barrier go, and fell to the floor, pounding his fists against the hard wood, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry Ginny…"
Draco hurried down towards his mother's grave, blinded by self hate. He couldn't believe he had created that monster, and he knew what he
had to do. If he killed himself, then the other Draco would die too, surely. After all, it was a part of him.
Draco fell on top of the grave, sobbing, beating his fists into the earth.
He wanted to play one last song for her, for Ginny. Picking up his guitar, he rested his fingers against the strings.
Girl you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, but what about the long run
Looking back shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
You're a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the loving that you needed
Could've left, but I called and you heeded
Takin' a beatin', mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong
Girl you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Girl in spite of my behaviour said I'm your saviour
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
Girl in spite of my behaviour well you are my saviour
And you appear to me so tender, well girl I surrender
Now life is one big party when you're still young
And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, but what about the long run
Looking back shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Girl you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Draco laid his guitar down beside him, folded his legs underneath him, and reached for the knife he brought with him. He picked it up and
rested the point on his navel.
He felt tears leaking out of his eyes, and whimpered.
"I love you Ginny, more than anything."
He lifted the knife from his stomach, and pulled it back, preparing himself for the pain he would suffer before death.
He closed his eyes, and counted to three. "One, two…"
He felt a small hand settle on the one holding the knife, and opened his eyes to see Ginny kneeling in front of him. A tear leaked out of her
eye, and she looked down at her lap. Draco's heart broke, and he pulled his hand away, and reached for the knife he'd dropped.
"No," Ginny whispered.
He closed his eyes in pain. "Ginny, it was me, but it wasn't."
"Shh," she said gently, placing a slender finger against his lips.
"When I refused the Dark Lord, all the evil left me, and created him-"
"Drake," she said tenderly.
He finally looked up at her. His breath caught in his throat, for she was the most exquisite thing he had ever seen. He pulled her towards him,
and their lips met in a gentle kiss. He brushed the hair off her face, and she buried her face in his shoulder. He stroked her hair gently,
lovingly.
"Ginny," he breathed. "Ginny… My beautiful angel."
She looked up at him, her eyes soft. "You brought me back, Drake. All this time I thought it was Harry, but it was you."
Draco shook his head. "It couldn't have been me. I don't have that much power."
She smiled, and Draco felt as though he was drunk.
"Your love. That's what brought me back."
Draco leant back against the wall, and guided her head to his chest. She could feel his heart beating, and she felt safe. It didn't matter any
more what his evil side had done, it was over, and now they were together.
He tilted her head back gently, and bent to kiss her once more. He was gentle, not pressing her too hard.
"I've adored you," Draco said, stroking the side of her face with his thumb. "Ever since you took that hex for me. You're my soul; my life. I
will never let anyone hurt you again, I swear it," he said, almost fiercely, as he embraced her, stroking the ends of her hair against her back.
The two lay down in the flowers, and gazed at each other, eyes pools of liquid love. Draco thread his fingers through her hair, and they fell
asleep, content in their love.
There. I FINALLY put some romance in. I really hope you liked it. As for the guys, well, I don't THINK the next chapter will be as bad. :P
