Ginny walked into the Great Hall for dinner and immediately looked over at
the Slytherin table.
'2nd day in a row' Ginny thought, 'Weird, he must have went home early'
She sat down next to Ron and Hermione.
"Has anyone seen Malfoy lately? He hasn't been in our classes for 2 days" Harry said as he sat down next to her.
"He hasn't been in the one class I have with him either" Hermione said.
"Probably some death eater thing" Ron said.
"He's not a-" Ginny said as Filch ran into the great hall.
"Headmaster! I found a student in the forest. murdered!" Filch yelled.
Everyone screamed.
"Silence! Prefects, please escort students back to their dormitories. Teachers come with me" Dumbledore said.
"Everyone follow us!" Ron yelled.
"I wonder what student it is?" Harry asked.
"It's a couple days before holiday break, anyone could go missing or leave. But who knows" Hermione said.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny sat in her dormitory window, watching the forest. She saw 2-cloaked figures come out of the forest; one had a covered stretcher in front of them. A gust of wind blew past, blowing the sheet off the stretcher.
"No!" Ginny yelled.
On the stretcher was a bloodied, dead Draco, robes ripped to shreds.
Ginny ran out of her room and down the steps towards the entrance to the common room.
"Gin?" Ron asked as he grabbed her.
"No, let me go!" Ginny yelled slamming her fists into his chest.
"Gin, what's the matter?" Ron asked.
"He's dead! Let me go!" Ginny yelled.
"Who's dead Ginny?" Ron asked.
Ginny cried harder.
"Virginia, who's dead?" Ron asked.
Ginny looked up at him.
"Draco's dead, Ron. Draco's dead" Ginny said.
"Malfoy is dead?" Ron asked.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley. Mr. Malfoy was the student in the forest," Professor McGonagall said coming into the common room.
Ginny burst into tears again and ran up to her dormitory.
"What's wrong with Gin?" Ron asked.
"You see Mr. Weasley, your sister and Mr. Malfoy were civil to each other. They might have even been friends" McGonagall said, "There will be a memorial service in 2 days. Black robes are mandatory"
"Yes Professor" Hermione said as she left through the portrait.
