Chapter 27
Ginny stood up and looked at Draco amazed.
"You do? How?"
"Well when I was in that...room, I relived the memory of when I went to that library. I was way shorter back then and I remember seeing a weird mark on the door. It sort of looked like a cross upside down. We look for the cross and find the door to the library" Draco said, sounding pleased with himself.
Draco then turned his attention back to Ginny.
"What happened in there to you?"
Ginny's eyes glazed over as she told him of the memories she had seen. After she was finished Draco indulged her in a hug. After a short kiss they began looking for the Mark that Draco described.
It wasn't long before they found it.
"Found it" Draco said. Both of them entered the room. The both of them were standing in what could possibly the biggest library EVER!
Rows and Rows of bookcases, filled with numerous books as far as their eyes could reach.
"This is amazing" Ginny said in awe.
Well, I'd prefer it to be a bit less amazing, seeing as we have to find 'The secret book that contains helpful, but dangerous methods to take your enemy out' in a library that is about 50 times bigger then the one at school an we aren't even sure that it's here"
"Aren't we optimistic?"
"Well, what do you suggest then Miss Gran---uh...I mean Ginny" Draco stuttered as he remembered Ginny's threat of no more snog sessions. Ginny almost grinned.
"Well...every library must have some system to search for particular books and a library as big as this one probably'll have a damn good one" Ginny reasoned. They began walking down an aisle, staring at some of the books.
"Man, some of these books could really come in handy" Draco said. Ginny glanced at the book he was holding.
a 1000 and one ways to take revenge that the ministry doesn't want you to know about
Figures Ginny thought.
"Come on Draco! There's no time for that...let's try something out"
Ginny pointed her wand at the aisles and yelled:
"Accio' secret book that contains helpful, but dangerous methods to take your enemy out'!
Draco and Ginny listened carefully and after a moment or two they heard something zooming in their direction. Ginny caught the book and it was HEAVY.
"It's here!" Ginny squealed.
"Oh no" Draco said.
Ginny looked at him in worry.
"Oh no? What do you mean with 'Oh no'? I don't like the sound of Oh no!"
Ginny took a first look at the book and saw what he meant with 'Oh no!'
Words were on the book and it was not the title. It said:
Please give the password of this book, which has to be given to you by Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic or an alarm will go off, alerting all guards within the building
"Okay" Ginny said slowly. "I'm definitely with you on the 'Oh no' thing"
"Yeah…"
"So what do you suggest, dear Draco?"
"I was thinking of...running!"
"Great idea"
And then they ran! When they had set one foot outside of the library room, they felt a small bit of magic going through them. They figured that it must be the magic, alerting all the guards and they picked it up because their magic was strong.
Back in the room with the many doors, they found the door leading to the exit very quickly. The door still smelled after a bit of smoke. When they went outside they could already hear the guard coming as their footsteps could be heard. Their hearts began beating faster as they thought about the consequences, if they were caught!
"Okay" Ginny said firmly. "Point your wand at your own eyes and say: 'Clearios'...don't ask questions" Ginny added the last part as Draco opened his mouth, but closed it quickly after hearing the last part. They did the spell.
Ginny pulled out a vile and hid it behind her cloak just as the guards rounded the corridor.
"There!" one of them yelled and the guards ran towards them. Draco began raising his wand, but Ginny stopped him.
"No! Not yet!"
They waited and waited. The guards were coming closer with a great amount of speed and Draco began fidgeting nervously.
When they were just a few meters away Ginny raised the vial and smashed it in front of their feet. The guards stopped, surprised. As soon as the vial broke and the liquid came in contact with the air, it began to create a huge fog! Within seconds no one could see their own hand in front of their eyes...except for Draco and Ginny.
"RUN! And stun as many as you can!" Ginny yelled at Draco. They began running and shooting stunning spells at the guards. One by one they fell down, but the ones still standing began shooting spells randomly. Luckily they weren't hit and were now running out of the corridor, away from the fog.
Vaguely they could hear one man yell at the guards and soon they were being chased again.
"W...What was...that?" Draco panted while running.
"Just a little potion...you said it yourself...you can never be prepared enough!"
They were turning corner after corner and found that they could no longer hear the guards. They stopped to take a breath.
"Pfew...that was close!" Ginny said. Her hip was hurting badly and she didn't know if she could do another running 'contest'.
"Too close if you ask me...d'you still have the book?"
Ginny pulled it out of her cloak.
"Sure do" A look of pain crossed her face as she switched her weight on her injured hip. Draco was beside her in a second, with a concerned voice.
"You okay?"
"Yeah...just...my hip you know"
"We have to get out of here a soon as possible"
A pause...
"Where do you think we are?" was the next thing that came out of Draco's mouth.
"Uh...lost?"
"Correct in one guess"
"Suggestion?"
"Just walking, hoping we won't come across any guards, find Blaise and Pansy and find an exit"
"...sounds like a plan to me"
They began walking again.
How many freaking doors and hallways are in this place? Ginny wondered.
Draco grabbed her hand and gave her a reassuring squeeze. It gave Ginny the comfort she needed and calmed down a bit. Draco made her feel so safe; she wondered how she ever could have hated him at the beginning of the year.
Because then he acted like a snotty prick was Ginny's first thought.
But much has happened since then and Ginny was happy, having Draco.
They came across the door where they had locked up the first two guards in the beginning.
"Wait" Ginny said and she conjured up a parchment and quill.
When she was done writing she hung the piece of paper on the door. Draco looked over Ginny's shoulder and read it.
Two men are locked in here
Sorry for the trouble
Draco looked at Ginny in question. Ginny shrugged. "Can't just leave them there...who knows how long it would take for them to be found?"
They continued their search for Pansy, Blaise and the exit. With a crazy amount of luck they found the reception hall and the fireplace where they had entered. The room was deserted. Now, they only had to find Pansy and Blaise.
"Where could they be?" Ginny asked.
At that moment the giant doors on her left opened and there were two unknown people, but the polyjuice potion wore off and there were Pansy and Blaise. The sight of them...was a sight they will always remember...
