Chapter 4

"Oh, Ginny. It's me, Draco." Draco said.

"Hey..." she replied nervously."What do you want?"

"I was wondering if you're still prepared to accept my offer."

"What would happen if I said no?" asked Ginny.

"I don't know. Probably something terrible would happen to your precious Potter." This time Draco had come prepared.

"... I... I... fine. You win." said Ginny, miserably.

"No!" Teagan shouted, hurtling down the corridor. She knew what she had to do to get Malfoy to stop bothering Ginny.

'Please let the mesmer work!' she thought, pleading with her Elvin powers. She stared Malfoy in the eyes, activated the Mesmer and said, "You'll stop bothering Ginny and you won't hurt Harry or anybody else in Gryffindor." her voice was commanding, yet not loud. Draco hung on her every word and nodded, as if to agree with her.

"Come on, Ginny. We have a class to get back to." Teagan said, smiling.

Ginny nodded, trembling. She followed her silently up the stairs.

"Good. The mesmer does work on your kind."

"Hmm...I don't think it'd last long though..." said Ginny.

"Oh, don't worry. If he dares try this again I'll do something much worse to him."

"... Oh..." said Ginny.

Teagan re-entered the Transfiguration classroom and sat down back in her seat next to Ron.

Ginny waited until Teagan had gone in, then doubled back, got Draco from the dungeons, kissed

him on the cheek, and brought him back.

Teagan sighed; glad to have sorted Draco out for the moment.

"OW!" Ginny shouted as she stubbed her toe. She walked in as if nothing had happened.

The bell rang. "Homework, class, revise the wand movements for this enchantment. Class dismissed."

Teagan stood up and wandered out of the class, waiting for Ron.

"Teagan, wait a minute yeah? I need a word with Ginny." said Ron.

"Ok."

Ron went inside and sat down next to Ginny, who hadn't moved.

"Hey, Gin? Are you OK? You seem upset..."

"I'm fine," replied Ginny. "Fine. I'm just... tired... that's all... I'm gonna go to bed."

Teagan wasn't surprised that Ron was worried about Ginny.

Ginny rushed past Teagan and ran all the way to Gryffindor tower. "Fizzing Whizbee!" she shouted. She went inside, threw herself on the bed, drew the hangings, and started to cry.

"I guess Ginny didn't like me using the Mesmer." Teagan murmured.

Teagan was wondering why Ron was just standing where Ginny had just been.

"Something wrong?" asked Ron.

"Nope."

Ron frowned, but thought nothing of it. "Come on, let's go get something to eat." he said, while he was snaking his arm around her waist.

Teagan smiled, not protesting about being led to the Great Hall.

Harry looked around, and saw Teagan coming into the Great Hall. He then saw that Ron's arm was around her waist. 'Crud,' he thought. 'Oh, well.' He went up to Teagan. "Hey, d'you know where Ginny is?"

"She's in the Common Room." Teagan said.

"Yes, but do you know where Ginny is?"

"I said, she's in the Gryffindor Common Room."

"Oh, right. See you later then." said Harry, going off in search of Ginny.

Teagan smiled, "So, where're we gonna sit, Ron?"

"Uh... here." he said, sitting down on the edge of the bench, which was out of sight of everyone.

Teagan sat down beside him.

Hermione rushed in, looking frazzled. She spotted Teagan and rushed over to her. "Teagan! Where did you say Ginny was?"

"Gryffindor Common Room."

"Well, she ain't there now. She's nowhere in Gryffindor Tower."

"Oh dear. This isn't good."

"What isn't? Why isn't it good?" asked Ron.

"Well, if she's not there, then she's probably..." Teagan stopped there. She couldn't tell them.

Ginny stumbled in the darkness of the dungeons. She knew she shouldn't be here, but she had had to come. She leant against a door, wondering where he was, then, suddenly; she fell back through the door.

"Um, I think she might be in the dungeons." Teagan said quietly, "Don't ask why."

"The dungeons? Oh, no...she couldn't have...could she? I'll kill him if he has..." said Harry, who had wandered in without them noticing. Harry stormed off to the dungeons, but couldn't find her.

"Right, we'll have to search every nook and cranny in the dungeons, through every door."

When Harry and the others were looking throughout the dungeons for her, Ginny was in an old potions room, where no-one had been for years. She crossed the room, and opened a storage closet. "Hey..." she said to the person inside.

"I've been waiting for you." Draco smiled.

Ginny bit her lip, walked inside, and closed the door.

Teagan found a door to an old potions classroom and beckoned for the others to investigate with her.

Harry came to the front of the group and told them to search various closets. "I'll take this one..." said Harry.

"Wait a second," said Ginny, tearing her lips from Draco's. "Oh, God, Harry's there! Oh, no..."

"Forget him." Draco said.

"I can't...what is he gonna do if he finds me in here with you?" Ginny whimpered, and as the handle was turning, she clambered over all of the abandoned stuff, and pulled Draco with her at the last minute.

Draco frowned. He'd been hoping that Potter would catch them. That'd really hit him where it hurt.

"Draco, please! I don't wanna hurt him! Please!" Ginny pleaded.

Draco stopped frowning. 'Damn pleading. Why does it always have to work?' he thought.

"Look, if you'll come I'll end it with Harry! Please!"

"Fine." Draco said in an annoyed tone, retreating to the back of the closet and hiding.

Harry opened the door. He peered around in the cupboard, and said, "No-one in here! How 'bout you lot?"

"Nothing." Teagan said.

"Hermione?"

"Nope...nothing!"

"Ron?"

"Uh... No... Nothing..."

"Dammit..." said Harry.

"Where could she be then?"

"I don't know!" shouted Harry. Draco made like he was about to move so Ginny pulled down hard on his arm.

"I'm sure she'll turn up soon." Teagan said reassuringly.

Ginny looked at Teagan through a little gap in her cover. For a moment, she thought she had seen her, but it was a relief when they left.

Teagan was a little worried about Ginny.

"Phew," breathed Ginny. "They're gone."

Draco hadn't planned on not getting caught.

"Draco? Draco? Are you alright?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Draco didn't sound fine.

"What's wrong? Is it 'cause I'm going out with Harry? Or because you didn't hurt him?"

"Neither. I'm fine."

"Draco... look... if you're upset just say so..."

"I'm not upset." This was, of course, a lie.

"Well, you sure sound like it!" said Ginny, raising her voice.

Draco stayed quiet and stepped out of the cupboard.

"Draco! Draco, wait!" Ginny shouted, disentangling herself from the stuff inside the closet and following him. She caught him as he went out of the room. What she didn't notice was that all the others were coming out of one of the rooms. "Draco, stop, OK...If you're so upset you can't even talk to me then just say so!"

Draco didn't say anything and ran off back to the Slytherin Common Room.

"DRACO!" she shouted.

This caught the attention of Teagan, 'Crap...she's blown it.'

"Ginny? Is that you?" asked Harry.

"Oh, crap..." Ginny murmured.

Teagan decided she'd best stay out of this. She silently wandered off back to Gryffindor Common Room.

"Uh, hi, Harry... uh... so... uh... what brings you… uh... down here?" asked Ginny.

"We were looking for you."

"Oh...I guess I should have told someone where I was going..."

"It's ok. As long as you're not hurt."

"I'm not... are you OK?"

"Yeah. Now tell me, what were you doing with Draco Malfoy?"

"... Nothing! Why would I?"

"You did just yell his name."

"Yeah...that's because he left his cloak in there." Ginny shivered.

"Oh. Well come on, let's get back to Gryffindor Tower."

"OK... and... I'm sorry...y'know... for making you worry and everything..."

"It's alright. As long as you're safe." Harry smiled, "Hey, where'd Teagan go?"

"Back to Gryffindor Tower. Why?" asked Ginny.

"Why not?"

"No reason... just wondering... I am allowed to wonder about that aren't I?" said Ginny.

"Of course." Harry said.

"Alright then." said Ginny, and she stalked off to Gryffindor Tower.

"C'mon mate," said Ron.

Ginny came storming up into Gryffindor Tower, fuming for no apparent reason. She saw Teagan in an armchair, smiled, and stalked off in the direction of the girl's dormitory, slamming the door behind her.

Teagan wondered why Ginny was angry.

Harry, Ron and Hermione all came up to the common room. "Well, I'm off to bed...night." said Hermione. A few minutes later, Ron said, "Yeah, me too. I'm well tired." he came and gave a kiss good night to Teagan, and left her alone with Harry.

"D'you know why she was in the dungeons? I couldn't get a straight answer from her..." said Harry.

"Well, I think it was..."

"Yes? Carry on..." said Harry.

"Well, Ginny has been… kissing Malfoy. Malfoy's been seducing her, and it's all to get at you."

"She... she..." Harry found his voice. "Malfoy's been doing WHAT? To MY GIRLFRIEND? WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL HIM TO STOP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

"I tried to tell him to stop it, but I guess the Mesmer wore off."

"Mesmer? I don't even want to know...I just wanna know what he's been saying to her...do you know what he's been saying to her?"

"He's just been kissing her and trying to hurt you through Ginny. He's been threatening to hurt you if she doesn't do what he wants her to."

"So, he's been threatening my girlfriend is he? What else is he saying? Didn't she send you a note or something?"

"Yeah. Draco's been meeting her in the dungeons, I tried to stop him doing all this, but I suppose he's too strong minded for the Mesmer to have worked for long.

Harry didn't say anything. He had rammed his elbows into the arms of his seat. "Did she...try and stop him? At all?" he asked in a strangled voice.

"I'm not sure. She did try to stop herself I think, but that Draco Malfoy seems to be a sneaky one."

"Hmm... No kidding...hmm..." he sat and thought for a while. "I think I'm gonna go to bed...can you ask Ginny to come and talk to me tomorrow morning?"

"OK." Teagan said, standing up and wandering into the girl's dormitory.

"Night..." he said.

"Night." Teagan replied as she shut the door behind her.

Ginny was still awake. She heard the dormitory door open and footfalls on the stairs. "Teagan! Is that you?" she whispered.

"Yeah. Harry wants to see you tomorrow morning." Teagan said, getting into her pyjamas and climbing into bed.

"Oh, dear...that doesn't sound too good...what did he say? I mean...did you tell him?

"I did. I think he might've hexed me or something if I didn't. Besides, I don't think he's angry at

you. Probably more angry at Malfoy."

"I blimmin' well hope so...I'd hate it if he broke up with me now...I know I deserve it but I couldn't help it y'know?" said Ginny.

Teagan nodded.
