Chapter 11: Double the Love

"I'm leaving." She said, as she started to drag her suitcase out the door.

"No, don't leave." He called, grabbing her by the arm.

She stopped in her tracks.

"Please…" He pleaded, not letting go, afraid she'd slip out of his grasp forever.

"It's hard enough, I'm sorry…" She said, still not looking back.

"I'd do anything, please, just stay." He begged, on his knees clutching her arm desperately.

"Your time has passed." She choked on her words before yanking free her arm and walking out the door.

"Draco!" Ginny calls desperately as more blood appeared out of his mouth.

"Ginny-" He chokes as more blood comes out, he clasped onto his chest for relief but finds none.

"Don't talk now! You mustn't! You'll die! It's all because of me and my bloody 'smart' brain!" Ginny yells. "I'm going to get help now! Don't talk, don't move, don't do anything!"

"Ginny," He pauses for more blood to come out his mouth as he grabs onto Ginny's arm. "Don't go."

She turned around, her look reluctant.

"Please." He adds, looking at her with pain filled eyes.

She turns around, and helps him sit down on his bed.

"Ginny," He proceeds to talk again, only to be stopped by the need of air. "Don't go for help. I know I'm to die already. I've seen it numerous times. They cough blood out until they have none left. They say it's because they're blood has been loved by a curse, so it must removed itself from the body." He chokes more.

Ginny doesn't reply, just looks at him with glisting eyes. "Y-y-you can't die Draco. Not yet!" Ginny finally responds.

"I will. Just know, that all that I've done I don't regret. Your love I had gained, and if dying is the price I must pay, then so be it." He sputters.

"Don't die Draco! Don't die! You can't die! I love you!" She sobs just before the she was holding dropped dead to the bed. Ginny grasped it again quickly, she leaned over his body and felt his pulse. None.

"DRACO! DRACO! Don't die! Don't die! I love you for everything you are! The jerk! The manipulator! Even the user! Just please don't die! I need you!" She screamed, and then, her surroundings changed and she felt Draco's hand disappear from her own. Everything around her spun and spun, and her screaming was echoing through her own voice before she fell unconscious through it all.

Ginny Weasley woke up with a start. Cold sweat was dripping down her forehead, and her hands felt clammy. She looked around. She was in the Gryffindor dorm. Everything laid perfectly still, calm even. She clutched her forehead and questioned herself. Was it all a dream? Yet it seemed perfectly real. What was it? Her mind debated with herself. All morning through, it did. You would've thought everything would be ok once she saw Draco sneer at her through the hallways, yet he was nowhere to be found. Was he really dead? Or was it just a coincidence that he wasn't here today? Did she truly say 'I love you' to Draco and mean it? Bloody hell, she was calling him by his first name now, when did this happen? More questions poured through her head.

"Ginny, you 'k?" Colin asked, grabbing her by the shoulder.

"Fine, just a bit of a headache." Ginny said, massaging her temples.

"Here, this must cheer ya up." Colin said, as he magically appeared with a bouquet of red roses.

Ginny took the bouquet, it was so big, she could barely see her way. "Thanks Colin." She said, smiling a genuine smile that got her eyes as she shuffled to class with him keeping a balance of about thirty-six roses and five thick textbooks and eight notebooks. Seeing her struggle, Colin aided in getting her books along with hers. She smiled and gave him a hug.

"Colin, you're the best." She whispered in his ear. Inside, Colin burst with joy, maybe she will look his way after all.

Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini clanked bottles at their victorious outcome. Ginny clearly had gone head over heels for him.

"I love the way you're so cruel sometimes." Blaise commented as he downed his beer.

Draco ruffled his hair with his hands, and a doubtful look appeared on his handsome features.

"Something wrong?" Blaise questioned, reading Draco like a book.

"Nothing…" Draco replied, deep in thought.

"You haven't actually fallen in love with Weasley, have ya?" Blaise asked, appalled to even ask this question.

Draco didn't reply for a second as he felt Blaise's eyes on him. "I-" Draco started. "I'm not sure." He finally concluded.

Blaise raised his brows slowly. "She really is something, ain't she?" Blaise smirked.

Draco didn't seem to hear him, he was afraid that if he had fallen in love with Ginny, where would that leave him? But most of all where does that leave her? Dead? Or alive? And what if his father found out? It's just a stupid prank, he kept telling himself. He could always just use that excuse, it was his original intention anyway. Yet the real question was, was it still just a stupid prank?

"Ginny…" Colin called to grasp Ginny's attention seeing her mulling around her food with her fork.

She didn't seem to notice, but now and then, she'd be glancing over to the Slytherine table as if she was searching for someone.

"Ginny!" Colin called again, louder this time with a little shake on the shoulders.

"Huh!" Ginny snapped back into focus. "What?" She asked blankly.

"What's going on what you?" Colin asked, his eyes filled with concern as he demanded an answer from Ginny.

"Nothing…" Ginny mumbles.

"Ginny, tell me." Colin gently soothes turning her so she was looking directly at him.

"Colin…please, I'm ok, I'm just a bit worried about things…" Ginny replies.

"Like what?" He urged her to go on, but he knew, she would say no more, for her eyes were wandering the Slytherine table once again.

"Colin, I don't feel like talking about it." Ginny waves off, still scanning the Slytherine table.

"Ginny, please, just tell me what is it that you are looking for." Colin gently urges once again, turning Ginny to look at him.

Ginny rolled her eyes slightly before sighing and facing Colin with an irritated look. "Have you seen Draco?" She asked.

Colin almost gagged on his mashed potatoes. "Draco Malfoy! You're looking for Draco Malfoy!" Colin blurts, causing the whole Gryffindor table to turn and look at him.

"Colin!" Ginny quietly scoffs, kicking him under the table.

"Watch it! I didn't mean to! I was just…surprised." Colin finished.

Ginny bit her lip as lunch ended and still Draco was a no show.

"What is your relationship with Draco Malfoy!" Colin demands in the hallway, grabbing onto Ginny's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked. Really, what was she supposed to say? Husband and wife? Colin would go berserk.

"Ever since this morning, you've been a bit weird, as if weeks has gone by in your world. Like something has changed." Colin elaborates.

"Well…some things have changed Colin, and I think, it might be for the better." Ginny murmurs sincerely.

"For the better! Looking for Draco Malfoy is for the better, then what is for the worst?" Colin asks, clearly annoyed. "Ginny, I mean it, what is your relationship with Draco Malfoy?"

"She's my wife, oh dear Creevey." A silky voice said as Draco Malfoy walked from behind Ginny.

Turning around, Ginny saw Draco, as arrogant and full of himself as he is, and perfectly fine! She would've jumped onto him and wrap him up in a crushing hug, but what would Colin think? He's already had his conspiracy that she has betrayed the Gryffindors.

Colin's face went pale as a ghost. "W-wife?" Colin asks clarifying.

"That's right Creevey, we're married." Draco said.

"Gin, tell me that Malfoy is just kidding me…" Colin prayed.

Ginny didn't say anything. Smirking, Draco wrapped his arm over Ginny's shoulder.

"Bloody hell! BLOODY HELL! Ginny! What the hell have you done!" Colin outbursts as he slammed his fist to his forehead.

"Colin, Colin, just…" Ginny broke off, unsure of what to say. After all, she had gotten married to Draco in just a night, well technically a night to everyone…

"Malfoy! She is not married to you!" Colin exclaims. "She can't be! You've got no proof! Not from hell!"

Draco went quiet fro a second, and Colin gently sighed a sigh of relief.

"Creevey, I've got no proof, but she's my girlfriend, and I need no proof for that!" Draco modifies.

This time it was Colin's turn to be speechless, he just starred at Ginny, hoping she'll contradict, yet she just stands there, starring back at him as if asking for forgiveness.

"Ginny," Colin starts. "I don't know what to say…" Colin says, walking away from her.

"Colin! Please! Just listen to me explain!" Ginny calls after him.

"Explain?" Ginny heard him chuckle dryly at his own question. "What is there to explain?"

"Colin…" Ginny sighs.

"What happened?" She asks Draco after a while. "What happened?" She buried her head in her hands. "Was it all just a dream?"

Draco patted her softly on the back. "Ginny, I'm not sure… It may be fake physically, but to us, it'll always be true. You know it will… It's not something you can just forget…"

She nodded in consent. "This is just the beginning, there's still the dream team…"

"Can't wait." He sarcastically said.

News sure spreaded fast through Hogwarts, faster than a fire! All day through, murmurs of 'Ginny? Draco? Together?' past through the halls. Gryffindor girls were planning how to kick Ginny out of their house for betraying them. Slytherine Girls were plotting for the break up of the pair. And the poor Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff girls were all caught in between. Not only are the girls all going insane, but the boys were too. Some were planning to disown Draco for his betraying behaviour, and some were plotting his death for taking Ginny away. Hogswart was going hectic and commotion was to start any minute.

"Ginreva Weasley, you have some serious bloody explaining to do!" Ronald Weasley shouted in the great hall as dinner was served. All attention was reverted to him and the timid Ginny across from him.

"Ron, it was just this dream that I had. This dream where Draco and I, we got…um…married." Ginny started to explain.

"Married!" Ron roared, his face turning the shade of his hair, darken even.

"But it was all just a dream, so we've decided to just date and-" She continued, wincing at Ron's reaction.

"Just date?" Ron mimicked her voice, steam rising from his head.

"Well we want to see how things go first…" Ginny trailed off.

"And you think you can 'just date' without my permission? Without Fred or Georges'? Without Percy or Bills'? Without mom and dads'?" Ron boomed, pounding his fist on the dinning table causing the mash potatoes to shake a bit.

Ginny turned to Harry and Hermione for help.

"Ron, just calm down. We'll settle this in the common room now." Hermione pitched in, grabbing Ron to sit down.

"First it's the hair, now this! I bet you were with him all along! He made you so rebellious!" Ron muttered loud enough for the whole hall to hear.

"Look Ron, I'll have 'Mione to dye it back today! It's not Draco's fault! I'm still your good little sister…" Ginny tried to convince him.

Ron only scoffed and swallowed a spoonful of mashed potatoes.

Ginny thanked Hermione quietly before disappearing out the great hall.

"Whew!" Ginny sighed a sigh of relief outside. "One down and six to go."

"Your family, you mean?" Draco asked.

Ginny nodded. "It's not like I have his full consent, but I think with Hermione's help, things will smooth out."

"The first good thing Granger's gonna do." Draco stated as Ginny shot him a dirty look.

"Do you reckon we'll ever get through all of your protective barriers?" Draco wondered.

"I hope Draco. Oh how I hope." Ginny prayed, burying her head into Draco's neck. Draco awkwardly hugged her, it's not like it's his fault, after all, the last time he's ever been doing the activity referred to as 'hug' was when he was two, or was one? He couldn't remember.

"BLOODY HELL!" Came a voice, and Ginny and Draco pulled apart.

They turned to find Colin in aghast shock.

"Colin." Ginny said, the word coming out as a soft whisper. It wasn't that she meant it to come out like that. It just did, it seemed as if she hadn't said the word for about a century. And the name sounded raw and unused in her vocabulary.

"Creevey." Draco uttered in annoyance. "Well, I'll see you later, love." Knowing that it would just get on Colins' nerves more.

"Ginny, I really don't know you anymore." Colin said, looking at her with the most pain and hurt she had ever seen.

"Colin, it's not like that. I haven't changed, well I have, but you'll always be my friend. You know that." Ginny reassured him, walking over to give him a hug.

"Gin, I just don't know what happened. What changed over the night? How did you and Malfoy just…you know." Colin asked, starring at the floor.

"Oh Colin, it's very complicated and all." Ginny tried to explain.

"You know, Ginny…" Colin started, holding Ginny's hands delicately, now directly in front of her. "I was waking up this morning and planning to tell you that well…" Colin broke off.

"What Colin? Tell me what?" She persisted, gently squeezing his hands and looking up at his eyes.

"That…that, I don't just want to be your friend." Colin finished, his expression remaining blank.

Ginny dropped both his hands at the sound of it. "Colin, I-" She faltered. She had never expected this, never, never. So that was who the red roses were from…

"It's ok Gin, if you don't feel the same way, we can always just be best friends." Colin assured her.

Slowly, a tear made its way down Ginny's cheek. "I'm sorry Colin. I really am." She said. "But, just give me some time." And with that, she ran down the hall.
