Chapter 8. The doll
"Because.. Oh my god."
Everywhere lied stuff on the ground and her once tidy home now was a real mess. Carefully, trying not to trip over the mess they walked inside. Ginny inspected the damage in the living room while Draco went to her bedroom. He quickly walked out of it again.
"You can better stay out of it", said Draco.
This was something he better couldn't have said, because this increased Ginny's curiosity. She immediately walked into the bedroom. She was shocked of what she found in there. In there was a doll with red hair just as she has. De doll was put on her bed with a knife through her stomach. Next to it was a note. With shaking hands she picked up the note. It said:
To bad you weren't at home tonight.
We could have had some fun.
Now it was only the doll, but next time it's your turn.
Ginny became frightened. This didn't mean anything good. She looked around once again and saw that all of her clothes were torn and were lying on the floor of her bedroom. She got tears in her eyes when she saw all the chaos her stalker created. Draco pulled her out of the room.
"Come on, we can't stay here."
Draco walked together with Ginny to a small hotel nearby. During the walk none of them said anything. Ginny was still too much in a shock of what she just had seen and Draco, who wanted to comfort her, didn't know what to say. He wasn't used to comfort people and didn't know what to do.
When the arrived at the hotel Draco arranged a room and walked back to Ginny.
"The hotel is almost completely booked and they had only one room with a double bed", said Draco.
"Oh", said Ginny to whom it didn't worked through yet.
"I will lie on the sofa, you can take the bed", said Draco when they arrived at the room.
Finally it dawned on Ginny what Draco was saying.
"No, I don't want for you to go on the sofa. You can come in bed with me, the bed is big enough for both of us", said Ginny determinedly.
"Are you sure?", asked Draco.
"I'm positive", said Ginny, "or are you scared that I'm going to rape you?"
"I think I can protect myself against that if I want to", said Draco smiling.
Draco went to the bathroom to change and when he came back he saw that Ginny was already lying in the bed. She tried to turn her head away, but he could already see that she was crying.
"Are you alright?"
Stupid question Draco, of course she isn't alright, he thought after he said those words.
"I'm just so scared", said Ginny between sobs.
Draco walked closer to her and put an arm over her. He found it a bit weird to do, because he wasn't used to comforting someone. To his luck Ginny didn't noticed this and crawled against him.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. Nothing is going to happen to you", said Draco.
"Draco?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
"Everything is going to be alright, just try to sleep."
Ginny didn't let him say these words twice and soon she fell asleep in Draco's arms. When Draco saw she was sleeping he put her carefully next to him on the bed. Soon he also felt asleep while watching at the sleeping Ginny.
Draco woke up when he felt something tickle against his nose. When he took a closer look he saw that it was Ginny's hair that tickled. Last night she probably moved towards him again and her hair tickled now against his face. Carefully he put the hairs away. He saw that Ginny still was sleeping and he didn't dare to go out of the bed, scared that that would wake her up. After about 10 minutes he saw Ginny's eyes slowly open.
"Good morning sleepy head", said Draco.
"Good morning", said Ginny yawning.
When she saw that she was lying against Draco she quickly rolled to the other side of the bed.
"I'm sorry", said Ginny while she slowly started to turn red.
"It's alright", said Draco.
"What time is it anyway?"
"It's almost eleven o'clock."
"What! That late already. I've to go to my job!"
Ginny jumped out of bed and quickly wanted to dress herself when she saw her evening dress from last night. She remembered again what had happened last night.
Draco meanwhile stood up and walked towards her.
"Relax, it's a Sunday, you don't have to go to work."
When he saw Ginny staring at her evening dress he said: "We can buy some new clothes today."
After he said this Ginny started to cry. He didn't know what he said wrong to get her crying like this.
"Are you alright? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just that I don't have the money to buy new clothes. I wonder if I even have enough money to pay this hotel", said Ginny while she started to cry even harder.
"Don't worry about that", said Draco. "I have plenty of money and I will pay the hotel as well as your clothes."
"No, you can't do that", said Ginny.
"I can't?", said Draco while he raised an eyebrow. "I can do with my money whatever I want, and if I want to help you I will do that. Besides, I don't want to see you in that evening dress everyday. It will probably start to stink if you wear it everyday and I don't like working with you than", said Draco.
Ginny still didn't look convinced.
"A Malfoy always gets his way, so if you don't agree, too bad for you."
Ginny looked up at Draco.
"Thank you."
Ginny put on her evening dress and when she was ready she saw Draco already standing at the door.
"Shall we? I know a nice place that's also opened on Sunday. We can go there first."
Ginny nodded and followed Draco.
They apparated to a part of Diagon Alley where Ginny never had been before. When she looked around she saw why that was. The stuff in the shops were very expensive.
She followed Draco and he pulled her into a shop.
"Ah, good afternoon mister Malfoy, can I help you?", said a woman who immediately walked towards them.
"Well, this time I didn't came for myself, but for her Hilda", said Draco while he pointed at Ginny.
"But of course, what did you had in mind?", asked the woman to Ginny.
Ginny didn't know what she had to say and looked up at Draco.
"Some casual clothes and a evening dress", said Draco.
"Alright, follow me please."
Ginny looked up at Draco and he beckoned her that she should follow. Ginny followed the woman to a new room The woman started to take Ginny's size.
"One moment please, I'm going to get some clothes. I will be right back."
When the woman came back she brought with her several clothes.
"Here, why don't you try these on."
The woman gave Ginny a pile of clothes and Ginny walked towards the changing room.
The clothes were perfect. It was very comfortable and looked great on her. Ginny walked out of the changing room and saw Draco and the woman looking at her. Draco said something to the woman and the woman walked away.
"So, do you like it?", asked Draco.
"Draco, I can't wear this", said Ginny.
"Oh, don't you like the colour? They have them in various colours. Or is the size not good. Maybe you should try another?"
Ginny shook her head.
"No, that's not it."
"Than what's the problem?"
"The price", said Ginny.
Draco stood up and looked at the price tag.
"What's wrong with it?"
"It's extremely expensive. I don't even earn that much in a week", said Ginny.
"Yes, and?", asked Draco.
"Don't you see. I can't wear this. I feel myself guilty enough without you buying these expensive clothes for me."
"I believe you didn't understood me back in the hotel. As a Malfoy I'm only used to the best. And as I have to work with you, I want you to wear the best."
"But I'm a Weasley", said Ginny.
"Oh, it's good you say this. I didn't knew that. Well, I think we shouldn't do this than", said Draco sarcasticly. "Don't worry so much about the money. I pay and I have plenty of it."
Ginny sighed and decided to stop talking about it, knowing that she couldn't win this fight.
After the shopping they both went to a pub to drink something. Ginny already looked for a table while Draco had to get something from the store across it.
She really got much clothes from him and she now was thinking about a way to thank him. She found a free table and got seated. She sat there, waiting until Draco would return, when suddenly someone walked towards her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and stood eye to eye with her stalker. She wanted to scream, but her stalker quickly put his hand over her mouth. Draco saw this happening and quickly ran out of the store towards Ginny. He was however too late. When he was outside he could just see a glimpse of her stalker apparting away with Ginny.
