A Door Opens:
All around, Darkness. Emotions and sounds came to her from the darkness, billowing towards her like the red mist that rose up from the ground. Fear. Ginny stood frozen. Her mind screamed at her to run, but her body wouldn't move, paralyzed by terror.
A shape lurched at her from the darkness she flinched, wanting to bolt, but her treacherous feet wouldn't move. Then she recognized who it was. Draco Malfoy was coming towards her. Malfoy, a Death Eaters son. He was going to kill her, she was going to die, and she couldn't move.
Draco ran. He had to get away before they realized what he was trying to do. Escape. He looked up from the carnage surrounding him and saw a red haired girl staring at him in terror. Well, she should, he was after all dressed mostly like a Death Eater. Then he recognized her, Weasley, Ginny Weasley. He heard footsteps behind him.
Malfoy came forward and grabbed her. She was suddenly very aware of the blood pumping in her veins, how very much alive she was. She struggled, but his grip was like iron and the look in his eyes strangely desperate. He leaned toward her.
"Quiet, My father's coming, we have to be quick." He whispered. He gave her a searching look and then handed her an already bloodied knife, "You killed me with this and I got you with my wand." She nodded, grasping at her only chance of escape. Then he threw her on the ground and fell on top of her. Their position looked like a death struggle.
"Draco!" Lucius came out of the mist to see the two bodies lying on the ground before him. His son and the Weasley girl, dead. He didn't check the bodies; death was to common a thing for him to doubt it now. In the Dark Lords plan his son's death was more or less irrelevant. But his son and heir was dead. The Weasleys would pay.
They lay there for and eternity and Lucius stood over them, hoping desperately that he would come closer. He didn't say a word. Finally he turned and walked away. After what seemed another eternity, Ginny and Draco stumbled to their feet. Wordlessly, they began the long journey to Hogwarts, each taking comfort in the other's presence.
As the night began fading to the gray of dawn, they paused as the lights of Hogwarts came into view. Ginny looked and Draco and he nodded. Dumbledore was waiting for them.
