Chapter 12 Esprit de Corps Day
"Ginny, I'm going to go in muggle London alright? A friend of mine lives there. I might stay the night there to catch up with him and his girlfriend" Adrian told her zipping up his duffel.
"Alright be careful" Ginny said.
"I will" Adrian said as he left the Burrow and got into his rented car, "Bye"
Ginny waved as she watched him drive down the driveway. Ginny walked back into the house and shut the door.
'I'm home by myself on Esprit day. Great' Ginny thought.
She glanced at the Grandfather clock. Most of the hands were pointed at Harry's; a few were pointed at their own homes. Ginny sighed and climbed the stairs to her bedroom.
"Now Draco are you sure about this?" Albus asked.
"Positive" Draco said.
"Then go ahead. You've waited long enough. It's time," Albus said.
Draco walked into the Burrow.
"Gin Gin?" Draco called.
Ginny sat up in her bed.
"Draco?" She asked.
Draco walked up the stairs and opened her door.
"The portal between death and life is barely there right now," Ginny said.
"Almost non existent. Come here" Draco, said holding his arms out.
Ginny got up and ran to him, throwing her arms around his body.
"Merlin, I missed you" Draco said in her hair.
"I missed you too. How long can you stay?" Ginny asked.
"Less than an hour I'm afraid" Draco told her as he ran a hand through her hair, "Gin, you have to move on. I'm sorry but it's true"
"It's just hard" Ginny told him.
"Life is hard Gin. We can't stop it" Draco told her.
"Life is so unfair. If Lucius wouldn't have killed you..." Ginny said as she started crying.
"Gin Gin, don't weep for what might have been. But cry for what could be. Like you and Adrian" Draco teased.
"Me and Adrian? I think not, he's your cousin. He... he just reminds me to much of you" Ginny said, "I don't want to talk about it. Have you been listening?"
"I heard all your songs. I love them but I wish you would write more happy ones" Draco said.
"I don't have a reason to" Ginny said.
"You will eventually. Don't worry" Draco told her.
Ginny sighed.
"You looked exhausted," Draco said.
"I don't sleep well anymore. I usually take a sleeping potion," Ginny said.
"That's addictive Gin. I'll always be around even if you don't know its me or that I'm there," Draco told her, "But right now it's time for you to get some good rest"
"Bu-"
"No, buts. Lay down" Draco told her.
Ginny lay down on her bed. Draco pulled a chair over next to her bed. He ran his hand through her hair.
"Now go to sleep Gin. You needed it" Draco said.
Ginny closed her eyes as Draco sat next to her and hummed a wizard lullaby.
"Goodbye Ginny" Draco whispered as he lightly kissed her lips and disappeared.
