A/N: so these are the last few chapters… this fic is drawing to an end… lol anyways review ;)
Chapter 16
Ginny's head was still aching when she woke up. She was still on the floor where she had passed out, but Pansy and Draco were nowhere to be seen. She made a sudden decision. First she went into the kitchen and made the drinks, to make her head stop hurting. Then she ran over to the closet close to the door. She opened it up and found Pansy's handbag. Opening it up, she took out Pansy's wand and quickly cast the spell that would release her from her binding to the house. She was free now. She could go wherever she wanted to.
She smiled weakly. She couldn't believe that she could finally leave, finally see her family, her friends… Harry? She didn't know. He hadn't come for her as he promised. She didn't know whether she wanted him back anymore. Did she want to leave though? Despite everything that had happened the night before, she still loved Draco. He had been drunk, after all, and hurt. But she had been hurt too, and he had refused to listen to her. She still couldn't believe that he'd go as far as sleeping with another girl to get back at her. Throwing down Pansy's wand, she decided she'd leave. She threw open the door and felt fresh air hit her in the face. Breathing in happily, she ran out, all the way to the gate.
She opened up the gate, and took her first step out of the boundaries of Malfoy's large estate.
"Ginny, wait!" She turned, startled. It was Draco.
"NO!" she shouted. She was so close to freedom… "Get away from me Draco! I'm leaving!"
"Ginny, I'm sorry… I was drunk, I was stupid…"
"You slept with her Draco! Because I've had nightmares about Harry! It's not like I asked for them! What, you get drunk and sleep with Pansy every time we fight? I don't think so. I'm out of here. I freed myself from your stupid spell."
"Ginny… you haven't freed yourself from all the spells."
"What are you talking about?" she asked coldly.
"You're still bound to me," Draco said, quietly.
"What do you mean!" Ginny asked angrily. Draco came closer and touched her lightly where her heart was.
"Your love binds you to me, as mine binds me to you," he said softly. Ginny started crying silently.
"I don't want to be bound to you anymore," she whispered, moving away from him.
"You can't mean that," Draco said, taking her hand.
"I do mean it," she said, her voice unconvincing.
"Ginny, I love you… I love you… please, don't go away… please," Draco pleaded, and Ginny wavered slightly.
"I don't want to be your slave anymore," she said, hesitating.
"You wouldn't have to be, you can stay here of your own free will," he said, slowly guiding her back to the mansion.
"I'll stay," she said, and Draco gave a whoop of joy. "But Draco, if something like this happens again, then it's the end of us." Ginny opened the door and stepped back into the familiar entrance hall.
"Nothing will ever happen again," he promised.
"You also have to end it with Pansy, right now." Draco nodded. He would do anything to keep Ginny. Draco hugged Ginny, and she felt relief and happiness at the way things had eventually turned out. He kissed her tenderly, and as they broke the kiss, she decided to settle the second part of the promise right away.
"Pansy!" Ginny called, and Pansy made her way down the stairs, slowly.
"Draco!" she squealed happily.
"Sorry Pansy, it's over," he said coolly. Pansy's smile faded away quickly.
"You're joking right?" she asked, in a high pitched voice. Ginny leaned over and kissed Draco on the mouth, a satisfied smirk on her face. Pansy's eyes widened and Ginny had never seen her look so angry.
"You're leaving me for her?"
"We were never actually together…"
"You said… you said you'd marry me someday…" Pansy started sobbing.
"Pansy, I never said that. You're already married," he said exasperatedly.
"So we spend a great night together and you dump me the next day," she said, eyes flashing as anger replaced her sadness.
"I was drunk."
"I hate you!" she shrieked, reaching over to slap him. She missed, and this made her angrier.
"Pansy, calm down!"
"I bet you never told that little slut why Potter never came looking for her," she said, and Draco looked extremely uncomfortable as he pushed Pansy out the door. Ginny's eyes were confused as she looked from Draco to Pansy and then back again. Pansy noticed and laughed almost hysterically. "Thought so. Guess what Weasley, everyone thinks you're dead."
