Disclaimer I do not own Harry potter

Chapter 10

"Gin gin are you ok?" asked Tristan as he looked at the bright red hand print on the side of Ginny's face who sat on the ground stunned into shock. He touched her cheek tenderly and stared into her eyes; "Ginny?"

She didn't reply at first but after two second she whispered quietly; "he hit me," and she burst into tears, Tristan picked her off the ground and placed her on her feet and threw his arm around her rocking her back and forth like a baby.

Hermione could see that the two of them were good for each other, why did they break up? For Ginny and Tristan had a relationship during the war but it ended so suddenly that no one knew why, not even Tristan, Ginny simply didn't talk to him for almost 4 years.

"Gin Gin I am sorry, but you and I know that Harry has changed and it's for the worst. He reminds me of your Brother Percy and you know what he was like he had little mercy in his heart he even tried to put Fred and George away, but you know what? You got to cheep up. For me at least; cause nothing makes me happier than to see you smile," she pulled away a bit and smiled a tiny smile through her tears; "Come on There is always one thing that cheers me up most when I'm upset, that's a nice cup of cocoa. Sit down and I'll make you one." Ginny gave a small smile again and sat down while Tristan grabbed him self a mug and began to fix her some hot cocoa.

Hermione watched as Tristan but some cocoa powder into the mug and water on top, then it struck her as she began to see the steam floated up and out the cup; "I know how to save him," Hermione whispered she wiped her own tear stained face and replaced it with a smile of hope staring at the both of them.

"What was that Hermione?"

"I know what to do to save Draco." her face completely lit up as she looked at Tristan; "I read it in 'Resurrection Gap between the Living and Dead.' It can be done! I know it what to do! I'm telling you! I've got it." She stared at them with the happiest look that Ginny and Tristan had ever seen splattered across her face.

He waited till the sun went down before he could climb out of his small and uncomfortable hiding place, he pushed himself out of his little crack and rubbed his arm, a large chunk of it had be burnt off by the sun, he'd have to drink some blood to heal it so he waited until he could carry on with his long journey again in hope to find some food on the way and he flew into the night over the clouds of France and beneath the glare of the moon's silvery light.

He was hungry and he would have to get some food soon or he would go mad, yet another curse of a vampire, hunger for blood brings out the worst of a vampire worse than the bat that he was at the moment. He descended down a bit to check if there were any humans he could feed upon but saw only acres and acres of field and animals. Animals would not do, their blood was often corrupted with disease so vampires stayed away from them.

He flew above the clouds once more, but this time he felt something-hot brush past his left wing. He looked behind him and saw a witch and a wizard on hot pursuit behind him "shit" they sent another silver bullet towards him, which he easily dodged.

He flew up higher but they followed. He quickly turned and flew towards the wizard, he grabbed him off his broom put him in the way when his companion who shot him through the heart, she screamed out in guilt and a certain disappointment. He bit quickly at his neck so that he could have a little bit of food to last him a few hours and dropped him and then flew at the woman who swerved out his way. She tried to fly down to get her partner but Draco grabbed her off her broom by her hair.

She screamed out in pain dangling in the air from her hair and tried to break out of Draco's hands. She threw some holy water making him let go of her and she plummeted for the ground. He recovered quickly and flew down after her. He grabbed her by her collar of her shirt and flew her down gently to the ground.

When he dropped her and put away his wings slowly transforming back into his human form. He grabbed the woman by the throat and shouted; "WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?" The woman didn't answer but tried to get Draco off her. He pressed harder.

The woman took out a silver knife from her pocket and slit Draco's hands. He screamed and let go. He licked the blood off of his finger and looked at the woman. She lifted her wand above her head to apperated away but Draco smacked it out her hands as quick as anything that she had ever seen before; "What do you want?" she screamed at him backing away.

He gave the woman a look of longing and replied; "I want to live. I want to live with Hermione Granger but you have taken that away from me. WHY? WHY!" the woman stared at him in complete fright and hatred; "Is it too much to ask just to live without hurting anyone isn't it! Just to be with the one that you love."

"Don't give me that crap;" she sneered; "a deatheater, Draco Malfoy in love, especially with Hermione Granger. That would be the day. When pig's fly."

He took a step towards her; "who are you?"

"Lavender Brown." She held her head up but her eyes gave away how frightened she was of him.

"The Gryffindor?" she nodded wiping sweat from her head with her knife pointed towards him; "I remember you very well, your were a sweet one back then."

"Things change!" she retorted.

"I think I know that better then anyone," he gulped and continued; "but why is it too hard to believe that I would love someone like Hermione, I call it irony."

"Call it what you want, I still call it bullshit."

"But why is it bullshit, because we're so different, we have been at war for years. I would take back all those years in my life just to be with her, I would have lost my family, friends, and my fortune, for the love of a muggleborn. A Mudblood, Look at me Ms Brown! That is exactly what has happened to me. All for Hermione. I love her. And I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, but I will if it means that I may live one more minute in the hope that I would see her again." Draco looked to the floor, he was spilling out his soul to someone he hardly knew and Lavender was slightly surprised; it was Draco Malfoy; "When I die I will go to hell, but when she dies, she won't, she will go to her muggle heaven, our land of the dead and live there without me. I only have a limited amount of my life with her, time that you've cut it short, shorter than it ready was. But if you just give me one more moment one more than I deserve just to be with her again, I'll give you every thing that I have." He looked at the man he killed and back at her, she looked at him in pure hatred even after everything that he had said; "what happened to you. In the war, is that why you turned out like this; a vampire hunter?"

Her fright fell from her face and she looked at Draco in a new way, with admiration and almost kindness, "deatheaters sent vampires to my home to find me, but they didn't, they found my mother and father and my little sisters, they were nine and eleven years old and they butchered. They ate them up and wrote on the walls with their blood how they would find me and that they would do the same to me," she lowered her knife and wiped away the tears off her face; "I found them and killed them all, the same way the killed my family, I've been killing vampires since."

Draco then did something that Lavender never would have dreamed about in her whole life, he walked in front of her and got down on his knees; "I'm sorry for everything that my people the deatheaters and vampires alike have ever done to you." Lavender looked in his steely eyes and saw tears; "I'm so sorry."

"What happened to you Malfoy?" She kneeled in front of him too.

He smiled a little bit; "Reality and quirk of fate smacked me right in the face."

"I'm sorry Malfoy."

"It's me who needs to-" Draco started to scream in pain, he looked at the sky and saw that it was getting light the sun was coming up, Lavender could see that he was going red and blisters started to appear.

"ACCIO WAND" She threw him her companion's wand and exclaimed; "apperate to where ever you want to go. I'll tell everyone that this was all an accident and we couldn't find you but found another vampire I swear."

"Thank you." Draco was about to wave the wand but stopped; "how is she?"

"Hermione?" He nodded; "she's fine, started quite a ruckus at the ministry and Harry isn't happy at all."

"But is she ok?"

She nodded; "she's staying with Ginny for a bit. Quick go."

"Thank you again Ms Brown." He swung the wand above his head and was gone leaving lavender in the middle of a French farm field with a man with a vampire bite on the nape of his neck and a new opinion of her work. She stared at the sun as it creep out it's hiding place, she felt it's comfortable ray upon her arms and thought about Malfoy; "incredible." She muttered as she pointed her wand at the dead man next to her; "infernio," and left him there to burn, picking up her broom, she flew away. The ministry would never know about what had happened that night for as long as she lived.

"The veil of the dead in the department of mysteries. You know the one Tristan the one they pushed Crabbe and Goyle through at the end of the war." Hermione said excitedly. "If Draco was to do the Balthazar curse then a non human person could collect me from the veil and we can be together again."

"No." replied Tristan sadly.

"Why not!" she shouted.

"Because to take someone out of the land of the dead through the veil you must give a sacrifice. You were right to some extent, put not entirely."

"Kill a chicken then." She replied thoughtlessly and desperately.

"Hermione, I mean a human one." Just then Tristan's expression changed from a glum one to a happy one. "I can only think of one man who wants to die a dear friend of mine too."

"Who's that?" Hermione's eyes brightened.

"Nicholas Flammel."

Hermione didn't say anything but looked glum. This was when Ginny got involved; "Isn't he already dead Trist? It was in the papers and everything."

"No, don't believe everything that you read Gin. Sure we took away the philosopher's stone (sorcerer's stone) but before Nicholas drank the elixir of life he still had about twenty more years left in him and when we destroyed the stone that's where his life took off from."

"You sure Trist." Hermione asked

"Positive"

"When can we see him?"

"In the morning I hope." Tristan stood up and smiled at the two women. "Well then good day ladies. I'm going to have a word to Harry potter for what he did to Ginny. He'll get just what is coming to him I promise Gin." he clapped his hands and was gone in a crack.

"Why does he always call you Gin Gin?" Asked Hermione.

"I don't know, it made me happy at the time when we were together." He smiled to herself and then added; "he treated me so good you know."

Hermione smiled a little too and asked; "what happened then? Why did you two break up?"

Ginny's smile disappeared; "Harry happened."
