Chapter 22
Shocked Ginny looked at Draco.
"What? Hell no, I'm not going back there again!" Ginny shouted. Draco looked confused.
"What do you mean again?" Ginny frowned.
"Didn't your father tell you about what happened there in my fourth and the dream team's fifth year?"
Draco looked at the wall behind Ginny in thought.
"Well, Lucius did tell me about a bunch of kids breaking into that department...didn't quite say whatever for...he was a bit vague about it...wait a minute...you was one of them?" He looked at her in disbelief.
"Yeah...Voldemort somehow manipulated Harry into believing that Sirius Black was there and in trouble. So he got out the Dream Team, Luna, Neville and me. We went to the ministry of Magic with the use of thestrals. When we actually came to the department of mysteries, we found out it was a trap...to lure Harry. Death Eaters were swarming the place. I had broken my ankle and got stunned in the near end...I…I've never been so scared in my life...it was then I decided not to let anyone push me around...YOUR father was one of the Death Eaters you know"
"Oh...sorry bout that then…" Draco didn't really know anything else to say. Guys...will be guys
But he continued. "It's really important that we go there!"
"Why?"
"Look, when I was younger Lucius took me to the ministry once. I was about 9 years old. Lucius told me to stay in the waiting room, but of course me being just a kid...I didn't listen"
"What's this excuse about being a kid? You never listen" Ginny joked.
Draco glared at her. "This is serious Gin"
"Sorry..."
"ANYWAYS...I ran around a bit...trying to see if there was something interesting to see or play with...I saw a buncha wizards and seeing as I had no better things to do, I followed them, thinking maybe they had something interesting. They went into the Department of Mysteries and me being so small, they didn't notice that I sneaked in with them. I got distracted by so many different doors that I chose another door then the group did. I saw many...different, strange...unexplainable things, but let's…
"Get on with it!" Ginny said unable to contain her curiousness.
"LET'S NOT go into that right now" Draco continued, again glaring at Ginny...who muttered a low apology.
"I came across this room which had a sign that said: All confiscated books that are considered dangerous for wizards of witches to know outside the ministry"
"Ooohhhh..." Ginny said finally getting the point. "You want to go in there and see if The secret book that contains helpful, but dangerous methods to take your enemy out" is there...to find that technique about duelling in the mind?"
"Yes!" Draco said, glad that Ginny understood.
"But what if the book isn't there? I mean there must be a million other places it could be...and what if we're caught? How are we going to get in there in the first place?" Ginny rambled.
Draco shuffled a bit on his feet and paced around the room. "Haven't quite figured that out yet..."
"Well, thank you 'Mister-Genius-Plan'...what are we gonna do now? This thing has to be tonight! When all the people are partying at that party of the oversized lunatic Minister"
"Well aren't you helpful! I can't do everything you know! I wasn't given much time to come up with the perfect sneak-plan"
They glared at each other. Both knew that they weren't really mad...it's just the tension and graveness of the situation that's got them all hyped up. But hyped up or not...they still had to get a plan of action.
"Well...we could get around in the ministry with the Invisibility Cloak Harry has..." Ginny suggested.
"Potter had an Invisibility Cloak?...no wonder I could never land him detention for being out after hours when I KNEW he was there"
"That's not the point..." Ginny sighed.
"HEY wait a minute! In my third year, I was attacked by snowballs who came out of nowhere...I even saw Potter's head...floating...IT WAS THAT CLOAK! I'll get him..." He ranted...mumbling about revenge...
"This isn't really the time Draco!"...
No reply...
"YOUHOE?" Ginny waved her arms...
"Harry asked me out again...I think I'm gonna say yes to him...what do you think?" She said trying to get him back to the REAL WORLD.
THAT snapped Draco back to attention.
"Huh?...what did you just say?"
Merlin's beard...boys never change!
"So back from LALA-land?"
Draco growled.
"Back to the plan...I'll...get Harry's cloak...or rather I'll borrow without asking and return it without him ever knowing that it was gone..."
Draco nodded..."Yeah let's do that...now...how are we going to open THE door at the Department of Mysteries?"
"Hello Draco...Ice Prince and Fire Princess...ring a bell? We can do wandless magic and have freaky Fire and Ice magic..."
"Yeah I'll guess we'll just go there and see what happens..."
"What are Pansy and Blaise going to do for a diversion?" Ginny said intrigued...
Draco smirked..."They're brooding right now and be sure as hell...when we find out what they did there...it's going to be funny as hell!"
"Yeah...but let's go and 'borrow' Harry's cloak"
They went on their way and arrived to the Gryffindor portrait. Draco stopped, but Ginny walked just by.
"Hey...I thought this was your entrance..."
"It is...but I'm gonna use my personal passage to go to my room and from there go to the boys dormitories"
"I'll just...wait here..."
"Be right back" Ginny said and disappeared. It was still dinnertime so Ginny figured the boys would be still in the Great Hall...stuffing their faces. After crossing the hall, she entered the boy's dormitory. There were five beds; belonging to Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnegan...and Ron and Harry of course. One bed was particular messy. That had to be Ron's bed...
Walking straight to the bed in front of it by the window, she knew that was Harry's bed. One would say she knew because of her excellent instinct...or one would say it was because of the fact that there was a trunk beside it with the initials HP on it...which would be Harry Potter's of course.
Opening the trunk she dug in deep, trying to ignore the...boxers lying there. Finally she felt the silky material of the cloak she was looking for. Carefully she picked it up, she always admired the cloak. Then she heard footsteps. Whipping around, she panicked...what was she gonna do?
Flinging herself in the nearest closet, she closed the doors, praying that nobody would find her...otherwise she would have A LOT of explaining to do.
"So mate...do you like Hermione?" she heard a familiar voice say.
Ginny opened the door a little bit and saw Ron walking over to his bed. He sat down on it and looked at something Ginny could not see. She figured it was Harry. A moment later he came into view.
"Well do you?" Harry spoke again. Ginny could almost see Ron's head getting red.
"Uh...well...a little bit...maybe...I guess"
"Ah come on...we all know you like her! You have to ask her out!"
"Why are you so prone on me asking her out lately?"
Poor Ron...doesn't even know that the whole Common Room is having a bet for when he asks Hermione out...Harry is due this week...
"Just wanna see my two best friends happy...with each other...which will only happen if you ask her out...now would be a good time..."
Ron got his hopeful, puppy look. "You think Hermione would say yes?"
"..Uh...Sure...go ask her now..."
"Yeah maybe I should..."
Ginny sighed a breath of relief...they were leaving.
Out of nowhere she saw a spider and panicked. She fell with her back to the closet, making a loud THUMP.
She could hear feet shuffling.
"Did you hear that?"
Oh No!
