Chapter 14

"Draco?" Ginny asked weakly.

"I'm right here," Draco took her hand in his. She smiled.

"Where are your parents?"

"They left," he said bitterly. "I got here just before… just before it was too late. I was able to convince my bloody father that the only reason I didn't want him to do anything with you was because of how possessive I am about my belongings, and in the end mother's anger at him for trying anything with you at all was enough to make him leave with no hard feelings directed towards me."

"Good."

"Ginny, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of that to happen. How do you feel? Are you in pain? You were beaten up pretty badly, but I was able to get rid of all the bruises."

"I'll live," Ginny said, yawning. Suddenly, Draco gripped his arm in pain.

"I have to go," he managed. "He's… calling. If I… I don't go… soon… it'll get worse…" Ginny nodded, understandingly, and Draco disapparated. Ginny sighed, going back to sleep. That necklace had really saved her life.

"I love you," Draco said, kissing her on the forehead.

"I love you too," she smiled up at him.

"Ginny?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you serious when you say that?"

"Of course I am. Why?"

"Because one day, when times are safer, I want to marry you," Draco grinned, but Ginny didn't return the smile. A gasp left her lips as a sharp pain spread from her heart to her fingertips. Guilt overwhelmed her as she started to remember the only other person who had said that to her…

"Ginny?"

"Yes?"

"Are you happy this way?" Harry bent down and kissed her.

"As long as I'm with you, I'll always be happy," she answered, slipping her arm around his waist.

"Good, because one day, when I don't have a hundred Death Eaters on my back trying to kill me, I plan on marrying you," Harry smiled warmly, and happiness rose up in Ginny as she returned the smile.

"I'll always love you," Ginny whispered, and Harry laughed.

"As long as you don't get bored."

"Of what? Of being happy? Never…" Ginny reached over and ruffled his already messy hair. "Besides, we have many ways to entertain ourselves…"

"You're right," Harry said mischievously. "Though before we go do just that, I have to warn you, I want at least ten kids…"

Ginny snapped back to reality to see Draco's concerned face.

"Something wrong?"

"No… I just had one of those flashbacks…" Ginny replied, shakily.

"And…"

"Yes, of course, marrying you would be great…"

"But…?"

"But nothing," she said firmly. Harry had abandoned her months ago, and she wouldn't sit and wait for him, pining away for him as he was obviously not doing for her.
