8th Chapter

The next morning Ginny woke up. Draco didn't come back. She was worried and felt terrible about what she said. But she forgot about it quickly because she had other things on her mind. She had to write a letter to her mother to let her know that she and Draco are safe in a hotel. She wrote:

Dear mom,

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I and Draco are staying in a muggle hotel. "The Legend Hotel" in the middle of London. Well…the reason we left is because something terrible happened in the house…I'll tell you about it later. But do not worry…we're both safe now!
I will see you soon!

Love,
Ginny

Ginny suddenly realized that she didn't have an owl to send her letter. So she decided to go to Diagon Alley. She walked through London. Thinking. About Malfoy. 'Where would he go? When would he come back?' Ginny thought. She wanted to cry, but she didn't want to care too much about what happened the other night.
When she arrived at the Diagon Alley, she right away went into the owl post office.
She didn't see anyone yet in the shop.

"Hello?" she said with curiousness.
Suddenly an old chubby man with thick glasses appeared in the room Ginny was standing in.
"Oh…hello." He seemed very unordinary and nervous.

"Ca…can I help you, m…miss?"

"Oh yes. I am here to send my letter…to my mother." Ginny felt a little nervous as well.
"Yes yes! Come with me child." The old man quickly went into a small room with many owls in it. All Ginny had to do was pay him and he would do the rest.

"Now…just give me the le..letter…" the man said with a frightened face.
"Alright..." Ginny felt unsure, but what would the old chubby man do. So she just handed him the letter and gave him five Galleons.

"Thank you, sir!" Ginny just left quickly without big notice. But she looked back at the old man. He just smiled. She was counting on him to send to the letter to her mother. But she didn't worry too much.

When she came to the hotel she noticed her mother standing at the reception.

"Mom!" she ran up to her and hugged her tight.

"Ginny dear! Are you alright? Where is Draco?" Molly looked around the corridor and made a worrying face.
"Oh…he's…he went out somewhere. He'll be back…I think. But he's safe mom, don't worry!" Ginny tried hard making up a short story. But she didn't really care.
"Oh well! I have great news…we won the war. Harry killed Voldemort!" Molly said with happiness. She couldn't stop smiling. Ginny was in shock. She needed a while to actually understand what her mom was saying. Suddenly she started screaming with happiness and hugging her mother. The muggle people looked at her bizarrely but Ginny didn't care.
"Come on Ginny! Let's go home." said Molly. Ginny suddenly stopped moving. She looked at her mother in shock. She couldn't tell her that there were corpses in her living-room.
"Mom, about my letter…when I said something terrible happened in the house…"Ginny began.
"Oh yes Ginny…what is it?" Molly asked.
"Let's go up to the room" Ginny said unsure.

When Ginny told Molly the whole situation with the death-eaters, her mother was shocked. But she was happy nobody got hurt.
"Oh dear, Ginny! It's alright. I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you. … Come on let's go home to the others. All your brothers are waiting for you!". Ginny just smiled.

Everyone at home was happy to see Ginny again. She didn't tell her brothers about the death-eaters, even though she knew that her father knew about it. But she just tried to forget it. Because the more she thought about the situation with the enemies, she had to think about Draco and that doesn't make her too happy.
At first Ginny still had to get used to not having a cute boy like Draco Malfoy in the house, someone who is always there for her. It felt like he wouldn't exist anymore. As if he just ignored her. She felt empty inside.
