BREATHE NO MORE
by QUILL OF DEATH
(A/N: I am typing this up before I go to Ottawa, but if I post it after the thirteenth of May, I'm all ready home, I just have not edited it yet, nor will be editing it. As I said last chapter, I have many exciting things planned for this story when Ginny returns home!)
Chapter Twelve: Shocking Conclusions
Ginny/Gailie fainted when Voldemort stopped possessing her for the time being. The house founders stared at her. In shock. Disbelief. Bewilderment. Rowena had tears in her eyes. How could anyone, much less Salazar's heir, be so cruel to her daughter? She saw the fear in Gailie's eyes, or whoever she was. She believed her to be her daughter, even if Salazar did not.
Ginny groaned and opened her eyes. Rowena was the only one who had not left her side. She smiled. "Hello,"she said weakly.
"Oh, my dear Gailie…are you all right? I hate that bastard for what he did to you…"Rowena sobbed.
"I-I think so, mum, please don't cry for me…"Ginny tried to plead with her. Rowena only hugged her and cried harder.
"You may not bloodily be my daughter, but you still are my daughter,"Rowena said.
Ginny sighed. Sooner or later she would have to leave to her own world…"Mum, I don't belong here…you have to let me go…to my own time. Please, I miss everyone."
"But I miss you!"Rowena howled. "Now I finally have you back and you have to leave again! I won't be able to live without you!"
"Mum, I can come back anytime, my headmaster told me that the locket I have has the power to send me anywhere I want, whenever I want, I'll be back, I promise,"Ginny pleaded with her mother to let her go back.
"All right,"she sighed. "But if ANYTHING happens, come here immediately."
Ginny nodded, kissed Rowena on the cheek, hugged her, and disappeared.
--HOGWARTS, Present Time, 1992--
When Ginny appeared back in her own time she was shocked to find herself being held back by two Aurors. "Miss Weasley, you are going to be taken to Azkaban for petrifying Justin Filch-Fletchy, a Hogwarts student. All evidence points that you are the petrifier."
"What?"Ginny asked, sadly. She looked at who was around the room. Did anyone believe the Aurors? Ron, Harry and Hermione gave her a look that said "Why?" and when she looked at Draco, he had sighed and mouthed 'I don't believe it. You're innocent. I'll break you out somehow.' She smiled at him and mouthed 'Thank you so much…' he nodded and mouthed 'I love you', before the Aurors dragged Ginny away.
Mrs Weasley burst out sobbing. "PLEASE! NO! Ginny's innocent! She's just a child. She must have been framed!"
"Mrs Weasley, all evidence points that Miss Weasley is guilty, any other proof I would think otherwise, but I don't,"Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic said.
"Minister, please, can't you at least let us see our daughter? We've only just been reunited!"Mrs Weasley wailed.
"I am sorry, Mrs Weasley, but I cannot let you or your family be in the presence of a murderer."
"She is not a murderer!"Mrs Weasley wailed.
Draco stood up and walked over to the Minister. He glared. "I want to see her."
"But, I cannot --- "
"I don't care!"Draco yelled. "She is innocent! Mrs Weasley is right, she was framed or manipulated by someone! Please, you must let at least me see her!"
"What importance are you of to her?"Fudge asked.
Draco glared. "I am her…mate."
Everyone's eyes widened, except Harry and Hermione. Draco sneered. "Yes, that's right, Minister, we have not bonded, but I can tell we are soul mates. It feels right. Now, if you don't let me see her, I will do something about it. I am a Malfoy. I can make things change."
"Y-Yes, Mr Malfoy, this way…"Fudge said, leading him out.
--AZKABAN--
Ginny looked around. A cell was no place for an eleven year old girl. It was cold, and the Dementors loved to toy with her. She wanted Ron. She wanted Draco. She held the locket around her neck and whispered.
"Mum, Dad, please, help me…I hate this place…I d-don't belong…"she was about to finish her sentence when someone was shoved into her cell.
"You belong with her in there, Malfoy,"an Auror spat and walked off.
Draco ran over to Ginny and hugged her. "Ginny…"
Ginny wailed. "Draco, what are we going to --- "
"Shh,"Draco put a finger to her trembling lips. "We will get out of here, I promise."
"T-They locked you up?"
"Yes. If they did, I persuaded them to move me in with you….I didn't want you to suffer alone,"Draco whispered, hugging her.
They cried together, knowing there may be a possibility they could be there forever.
