Rosies and Posies: Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down

Chapter 14

She walked the slowest she ever had to the hsopital wing. She wanted to see him, but she considered what they had last night as a fight. Hopefully he wasn't still mad at her, she hadn't meant to yell. She opened the door slower then she ever had.

"Just, just don't talk to me." Pompeys voice screamed from across the room. She was standing over Draco shouting at Adams, with a needle in her hand. Draco was looking from the shot to the angry Pompey, horrified. Ginny ran forward and carfully grabbed the shot from Pompey's hand. "Out, get out." She said pointing at the door. "Go get some sleep, or better yet I think its lunch, why don't you go and talk to some of the other teachers." She handed Adams the shot and turned her around towards the door. Pomfrey didn't hesitate.

Adams was shaking, and Ginny didn't know if what Pompey was about to do was important or not. She took the needle from him and looked at him for instruction. Draco, as usual, blushed a little as Adams gave her the 'directions'.

As she stepped back covering the spot with a cotton ball Adams growled, "What's wrong with her? I know you know." He grabbed her elbow and turned her towards him.

Ginny squealed and then howled with pain as the needle pierced her skin. She dropped the needle on the floor, as her hand flew to her mouth. Draco stood quickly putting the needle on the bedside table and standing next to her. He took her hand from her mouth and examined as she said, "She feels betrayed in a way, because she knows, she knows Adams and she seems to think that you care more about you nobility then you do about her." She said as a small drop of blood hit the floor. "Acio bandage." She screeched annoyed and then grabbed it as it flew at her.

Draco took it from her gently and started putting it on as Nate stammered out, "But I thought-"

"-you know what, you need to go talk to her-now." She said ane he nodded. She lunged at him as he was turning around, looking defeated, "Oh and Adams… thank anyway, you know?"

This seemed to make him even more sad and as her turned back around he said, "Please don't tell him until I'm gone."

Draco seemed to worried about her finger to ask anything, giving her some time to think. After he finished her grabbed her wrist and brought her finger to his lips. "I'm sorry about that," he looked at his hand, "You have small wrists." He smiled. His hand overlapped around her wrist, so that his middle finger almost covered his thumb on the other side.

"No, you just have big hands," she smiled. "And theres nothing to be sorry about."

"So tell me." He said pulling her the bed and then down with him, "Are you still mad at me?"

"I was wondering the same thing?"

"I wasn't ever mad at you."

She blushed, "Are you going to ask?" she asked not wanting to talk about last night anymore, and deciding to not put this off any longer. Especially now that she was given permission to tell him. She really didn't like keeping secrets from him.

She took a deep breath. "Well Pompey was crying, she was crying because she felt betrayed- like I said. Because Adams kept a secret from her… and you." He looked a little stunned.

"What's this got to go with me?" he said fidgeting a little on the bed and turning away slightly so he was looking just above her shoulder.

She gabbed both his hands, scaring him into looking into her eyes. "Adams-he's going to prison."

Draco laughed, his face falling slowly, disbelieving. "Adams was a prefect in school, top in his class." She nodded, ;this is going to be harder then I thought', "So then?" he asked.

"He stole something." She said looking up as if she could find the easy way to answer this in the air.

"Stole what?"

"Something from the ministry." She said, pretending like there wasn't something more to it.

"Gin-ny- what did Nate steal?" he said sounding annoyed at her attempt.

Her head fell, "Some pain killers." She looked up after a few seconds to see Draco shaking his head at her. She was expecting him to scream, freak out, be mad in any way. But what she wasn't expecting was for his eyes to well up with tears. One tear fell from his beautiful grey eyes, and she froze.

She stood there for a second, twitching slightly. He reached out for her, pulling her into a hug. Quietly he whispered, "I'm going to kill him." And the second and third tears fell down. This was neither comforting or frightening. She still had no idea what to think.

She started out the window while she waited for Draco to calm down. After the third tear he had gone back to shaking, so she had calmed a little to. When she couldn't stand the silence anymore she said, "It's raining again." Her voice must have scared him a little, because he jumped a little before his head slowly turned to the window.

His voice was quiet at first but slowly got louder as he said, "Wish I could go out here and get drenched like I used to, I', big on puddle hopping. When I don't have healers and girlfriends breathing down my neck about getting sick."

She giggled and then her hand flew to her mouth. She stood up quickly flinging her hand in the air, "Wait her." She said smiling before she grabbed something and ran from the room.

He'd been waiting for a minuet or two, when he glanced something out the window from the corner of his eye. She was just standing out there. He watched her turn in a circle and then sit down on the wet and muddy ground. Whatever she had grabbed was sitting next to her on the ground. She kept picking it up to look at it. He couldn't for the life of him figure out what it was, or what she was even doing for that matter.

Finally she looked at the thing and jumped off spinning on circles out of view. It was a minuet before she entered the room. She was dripping wet and smiling as she walked slowly over to him, holding-hiding- the thing behind her back.

"What are you doing?" he asked her his eyebrow arched.

She smirked as she stopped at the side of his bed and looked down at him. Her arms came out from behind her back to uncover a large flask, full with what had to be rain water. Before he knew it he was soaking wet and she was throwing herself at him, laughing. "Oh, oh. I know." She said the second they stopped laughing. She shook her head like a dog, spraying him with even more water. She faked a frown and then said in a baby voice. "You still aren't as wet as me yet.

He smiled and reached out to pull her closer. Pompey and Adams sauntered in to find the two sitting side by side on Draco's bed-soaking wet. Pompey glared at both of them and then flicked her wand, drying them both. Adams glided across the room to Draco's side and started shooing Ginny off the bed.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Draco growled, and Adams backed away looking sadder then Ginny had ever seen him before.She stood up anyway, laughing a little.

"Actually, I do have to go. I told Ron and Harry I would talk to them today. They had 'something important to talk about.' So reassuring right?" Draco looked worried and she laughed again. "Don't worry, just get some rest and I'll talk to you later tonight."

"We just need to know a little more.." Ron started.

"Like what?"

"Like, why the hell you trust him. How do you know that this isn't all just a set up?" Harry growled.

"Oh for gawds sake that makes sense why didn't I ever think about that?" Ginny fiend glarring sideways at them. "I suppose they faked Malfoy's death. And those are fake meds he has to take- every-single-night?"

"Don't get pissy, Gin." Hermione grumbled from her chair.

Ginny turned on her, "And I suppose his hair falling out, was just to through me off. Because that makes sense."

Hermione looked disgusted, "His hair fell out?"

Ron and Harry looked shocked too, "Oh yea…" Ginny said forgetting she really was one of the only people from this school who had seen Draco in quite a while. She sighed, "Yea, a while ago."

All three were quiet a while when Harry said, "I can't imagine a Malfoy without the hair."

Ron and Hermione nodded and Ginny said, "He looks just as good without it." She smiled looking out the window.

Ron shivered and Ginny went on to tell them about everything, everything she cared to share. She would never care to tell her brother about sharing a bed, a few times, with Draco.

i dont think this chapter was really up to my usual standards. What do you think? Please review, cause ive had this chappy up for about four weeks and no reviews, which I'm assuming means it sucks but yea…
