Authors Note: Hello, hello. Stars am I ever tired. Well, hope it was worth it and that you'll send some reviewies my way, please dear hearts? Pretty please? Pdps for all who care and cookies to all those poor souls who don't. As always my little voice and her mate are spurring me on so onwards I write the tales of Ginny and Draco with their little whelp Truth.

Disclaimer: Have you even read the damn Harry Potter books? Not mine, never will be. WHY MUST I DEPRESS MYSELF SO? Oh well, as the chapter reads:

Onwards to What Ever Lay Ahead.

The snow filtered out through the air and finally the lovers managed to stumble onwards. The snow wasn't too deep but even so Ginny felt pain throbbing in her ankle that was tightly bound. Draco did his best to hold her left side up and relieve the pressure on the wound but his own health was not 100 and he stumbled and missed more steps than was comfortable.

"Truth, thankyou for calling me when Draco was in trouble." Ginny whispered after a moment of comfortable silence. "I don't think I would have found the heart tug if it was there."

Draco glanced up from where he was staring, at their feet. "What?" He asked.

Ginny blushed slightly. "I have this tug inside me. One for Truth, one for you." She wouldn't meet his eyes. "I was so immersed in the Dragon Riders that I didn't feel it until it was gone." She gestured towards the Dragon who was watching them from Dracos shoulder, where she was holding on tightly. "She blocked it I think."

"Is that why you think you love me?" He asked, after another silent moment.

Ginny was startled into making eye contact. "I don't think I love you, I know it." She looked crestfallen. "But I told you I can understand if you don't love me back, I mean." She shivered. "I killed your father...and I'm sure I've made your life unbearable."

Draco stopped in his tracks, staring into her eyes for a long moment. "Do you think that?" He demanded, sounding angry.

"Yes." She answered, still unable to lie to him, even if she could to a lot of others now. "I nearly got you killed many times and I've bloody killed your father, for Merlin's sake."

"Ginny, my life was hell without you, I hate my father, but it was my entire fault. Oh Gin, I've hurt you so much. You may think you love me, but you can't." He spat. "I'm the one who told my dear daddy that you were in love with Potter. I'm the one that told him that you were in his life. Ginny I may not have the dark mark but I was a part of His plan the whole time. My father could point a wand at me and the slightest hex would have me in confession."

Once more Ginny ignored the pain in her foot and grasp the tormented boy firmly by the shoulders. "Draco. Tell me you could do that now. If you can look me in the eyes, your stupid Malfoy pride and iciness apart for a moment. Tell me that under anything short of a Cruciatus that you would give up me and Truth. After all we've been through together." She shook him slightly. "Please Draco."

Draco searched the eyes of his little Flame. "No. I couldn't." He took a step towards her, embracing her slim frame with his stronger one. "Let me tell you something true, ok? Something I've never told anyone before." He bent down to nuzzle her neck slightly. "I don't know what love is. My life was nothing but the dark lord and the dark mark. I don't know how to describe love, or how to feel it." He crushed Ginny further into his chest. "But I feel an ache in my heart whenever where apart and a fear that you've left me to find someone worth while, some one who wont beat you because they can. If this is love, then it's a first and every time I'm this close to you it pounds through the recesses of my soul until I feel weak."

Ginnys heart soared at this sappy confession. "Oh, Draco, that's how I define love." She promised hugging him tightly.

Truth seemed a little bored, and at the 30-minute marker, she decided to complain. With her trilling cry, the two lovebirds broke apart. There were tears in Ginnys eyes but she brushed them away. "I have to find the House of Thoughts." She told them. "To find out about my Ancestors."

Draco gave her a strange look. "What?" He asked.

"I have Dragon Rider blood." She explained, and then contained to tell him what had happened. Then she asked, as if suddenly remembering she was on the run. "Did you run into anyone searching for me?"

"The Aurors are, they want to make sure you're not insane."

"Why?" Ginny snorted. "So they can shift me off to Azkaban with a clean bill of health?"

Draco frowned. "Ginny they don't blame you for killing Lucius, hell they'll probably thank you as soon as they find you."

"Then why did you look for me?" She asked, truly confused.

"To make sure you weren't insane or else they would have shipped you off to an asylum somewhere." He turned away uncomfortably. "Then Truth would be wanted when she helped me break you out."

Ginny grinned, "So you came to see if I was insane?" She asked.

"More or less. Are you insane?" He asked, squinting at her.

"Maybe...I'm not sure." Ginny said looking thoughtful. She began walking awkwardly again. "But I do want to know about the Dragon Riders, and the Dragon Wars."

"Can you really not know if you're insane? I think you must be crazy, to love me."

"Well...Maybe." She repeated, with a smile over her shoulder at him. "But you're insane to love me back."

Draco shook his head, wondering if it would always be like this, then he smiled at his own thoughts. "Always." He grinned.

Ginnys steps faltered and he caught her, and then began walking once more in the direction she had been walking towards half carrying her. "The House of Thoughts is this way. I've been there once with Lucius. I understand why the Dragon Wars would be there, though I've never heard of them." He looked thoughtful. "Though it won't be easy to get in."

"We need to keep moving at any rate. If Lexa was being honest then I am being chased by things worst then Aurors." She looked around worriedly. "And Merlin knows the Death Eaters wont be to hospitable to me."

Draco nodded. "I agree Lucius was a strong part of their circle." He frowned. "Come on." His hold tightened slightly and they moved along.
