Chapter Fourteen - Overheard
"They've got a price on you mate," Ron shook his head. "You don't go to Azkaban or get a trial. They just want you dead."
"But I haven't done anything," Draco sighed.
"Yeah, but they don't know that," Harry replied. "They don't know you weren't really a part of those killings."
"So that's it then? They just want me killed? This is ridiculous."
"Fifty thousand galleons for your head. It's disturbing."
"Well, you're doing something about it, aren't you?"
Ron and Harry exchanged a look. Draco could tell that nothing good was going to be said in this conversation.
"We've been trying, butnone of them believe us!" Ron's hands were clenched into fists. "They thought we were under the Imperius Curse!"
"We're doing everything we can," Harry assured him, "but you've got to go."
"What?"
"You have to get out of here," Ron said sadly.
"But I can't! What about-"
"Forget her. You have to leave immediately-"
"No!" Draco shouted.
Ginny, frowning and rubbing her eyes, got out of bed and walked over to the window. She could hear people talking rather loudly. She knew those voices too.
"You've got to leave," Ron had grabbed Draco and shook him.
Draco pushed him away, "No! I don't have to listen to you."
Ginny frowned. What was going on? She could only hear them but couldn't really interpret what was being said.
"You have to," Harry said, "you'll be putting her in danger too. They got Dementors after you. They don't care who they hurt. Innocent or not."
Ginny watched in confusion as Draco tried to fight off Harry and Ron once they made another grab for him. He seemed to be resisting. But to what?
"You've got no other option, but don't worry," Ron sighed, "we've got a good place for you."
"You'll see her again," Harry replied.
"I can't leave-"
"You've got to! Don't tell me you want my sister to be in danger!"
"Fine! Fine, I'll go. Just... Just give me three days..." Draco surrendered. "Just give me enough time to say goodbye."
Ginny heard the last word. Goodbye. She didn't understand. Was he leaving? But why?
"Three days. Make em worth it," Harry said before disapperating.
Draco could sense someone watching him. He looked up at Ginny's window. It was open but no one was there. Ron followed his gaze. She may not have been there but he knew she'd heard.
His theory was proven right when he could hear her quieted sobs coming from her room, but he wasn't the only one.
