4th Chapter

It was quiet. After the shower, none of the teenagers spoke a word. They put on their clothes and laid down on Ginny's bed in each other's arms. Both were afraid that they would ruin the moment together with their own words. I took Ginny a while to actually show her courage and say something.

"That was nice... I never thought that I would ever do something like that with you.", said Ginny in a dreamy voice. He smiled a little.
"Yeah... me neither!" Ginny noticed Draco's happiness. She didn't want to destroy anything, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Draco, what exactly happened the night before you came here?", she asked in a quiet and suspicious tone.

Draco's face turned into a serious look. He let go of Ginny and sat up straight. At that moment, Ginny wished she would have kept her mouth shut.
"Draco...I'm sorry! I didn't want to... I..." She didn't know what to say, but the panic in her voice was very noticeable to hear. Draco starred to the floor. It seemed that everything that happened before flashed in front of his eyes one more time. Ginny recognized tears in his eyes. She didn't really know what to do. Now she really became panic. Suddenly she heard his sad deep voice.
"At that night, Deatheaters had a meeting at my house. Everyone was there...the best and most fearful Deatheaters. Even Voldemort! Voldemort believed my father wasn't loyal enough, so he gave my Fa…Lucius the order to..." Draco made a short pause. His voice became more silent and unsteady. He took a deep breath and continued telling his story. „To kill my mother! He...I...he did it without hesitation. I wanted to help her, but I couldn't. I tried…really…but I couldn't!" Tears rolled down his cheeks. Ginny had tears in her eyes. She hugged him with might. "He killed her right in front of my eyes, Ginny!" He starred her straight into her eyes. Then he broke down crying right in front of her. Ginny hugged him even tighter. At times she whispered words in his ear that would calm him down.
After an hour, Ginny noticed that Draco fell asleep. His head on her lap. From time to time she touched his soft hair with care. Now she knew why he was acting so strange. She didn't want to imagine the pain he was going through. What he saw must have been terrible.
For a while, Ginny thought about all of this. She wanted to help him. To understand him more and to be there for him. She looked down and observed his face. Once again she saw that Angel she saw the first night they met. She had to smile. Draco wasn't alone. Now, she was there for him.
