Song: Have a Heart

Artist: Celine Dion

Here comes another day

I don't know if I can make it

Oh, I just realized it's so lonely being free

Runnin' from the pain

I'm never gonna shake it

Oh, how I need you to take it from me

Chapter Seven: Close Distance

Ginny woke up feeling so peaceful. She looked around and it took her a couple of minutes to realize where she was. She got up and changed clothes. She had just finished dressing a pink Sweat shirt when Tikky apparated in front of her.

'Breakfast is ready Miss! Follow me, I'll take you to the dinning room!'

"Great, start the day in a creepy room!" Ginny thought sarcastically. She followed the house elf down the stairs. When they reached the door of the dinning room Tikky opened and revealed no ta dark room but a much pleasant room. It was all in shades of clear blue and yellow, the colors of sunrise. She was so distracted by the change of the room she didn't notice Draco sitting at the table.

He was about to grab a toast when Tikky opened the doors to let Ginny come inside. He had been waiting all night to see her pretty face, her amazing hazel eyes and he was hoping he could see her beautiful smile. He stared for a few seconds. She hadn't noticed his presence so he enjoyed the view before the moment was gone. But even with all those feelings inside him the icy shell he had build over the years made him crush them.

Ginny turned to the table and wished she didn't. Draco was sitting there at the top of it looking at her has if she was a part of the furniture. She sat has far as she could from him. His presence made her so uncomfortable. Why did he have to be so damn gorgeous and why did she had to be in love with him?

They ate in silence. Ginny trying to ignore Draco's presence and he trying to find a way of talking to her. He had already finished his breakfast but he needed to talk to her about the house. That house had some traps his father had put to protect her. Someone who didn't know too much about dark arts and dark wizards could easily be fooled into one of the traps.

'We need to talk!' he finally said.

'Do we really have to?' she asked not even looking at him.

'Yes. If you're going to live in this house there are some rules you'll have to follow. I don't want you not even near the east wing. You can never go to the dungeons and never, ever get inside my office. Clear?' he said in a cold voice.

'Cristal!' she said in a girlish voice.

'You can never leave the grounds of the mansion but you can go anywhere inside it. If you feel like it you can do gardening. You can also go to the forest, the only creatures there are unicorns, pixies, fairies and mooncalf though I doubt you have the chance to see them. I ordered Tikky to show you the house. I guess it's all. Have a nice day Miss Weasley!' he said and left the room. Ginny noticed she had been holding her breath for several minutes. She took a deep breath. Living in that house was going to be harder than she thought.

She spent the whole morning with Tikky. She felt uncomfortable passing throw the dark corridors full of dark paintings. That house gave her the creeps.

When she noticed it was already lunch time. She made her way to the dinning room this time alone because Tikky had work to do. Before she opened the door she tried to relax. She entered and there he was. Draco sitting in the same place he had been at breakfast. The room now was in different shades of blue and white.

Ginny sat not daring to look at Draco. He made her more nervous has minutes passed by. She had been so long without him she had convinced she was over him, deep inside she knew she wasn't but she wasn't expecting to see him ever again. Now she had to live with him.

"Control yourself Weasley! Remember what he made you suffer? Good you do because if you break down he will do it all over again!"

They ate in silence once more. When they had finished Draco left without saying a word. It was to painful to be with her and not be able to touch her. It was driving him insane. He headed to his office and locked himself in there even not needing to do it because no one but him was allowed in. He sat at the table, grabbed a book and threw it to the wall. The book hit a painting of a Chimaera. The creature growled and the painting moved to reveal a hole in the wall. He had forgotten that was there. But now not only he remembered that, he remembered what he had hidden there a long time ago too. He walked towards the hole that revealed a dark green book with the words "Salazar's Soul" written in silver. He looked at it for several seconds. He could still remember what that book made him feel. He grabbed the book. The known feeling of evil and power filled him. He took the book to the desk and opened it after sitting. The dark arts book was full of dust and the pages were more yellow than the last time. He turned the pages. He remembered all most all those spells and curses. Suddenly he felt the need to remember things about dark arts he had already forgotten. He got up, unlocked the door and headed to the library.

After lunch, Ginny had decided to read a little.She headed to the library and picked up a book about Greek mythology, something she always loved. She was so focused in the book she didn't hear the door open. So when Draco spoke she was caught by the surprise.

'What are you doing here Weasley?'

'Jesus! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?' she said putting her hand in her chest 'And it's obvious what I'm doing here, I'm reading! I believe I'm allowed to come to the library.'

'You are. I just wasn't expecting you to be here.'

'You were the one who offered your house to protect me if you didn't want me here I can go.'

'Don't be stupid Weasley. I said you could stay in here and I mean it!'

'Fine! Then don't ask me what I'm doing here.'

'I just turn my back on you, Draco Malfoy, for two weeks and you go get yourself a whore to occupy my place in bed!' A female voice came from the library's door. Bough, Draco and Ginny looked to the person who had spoken. By the door was a beautiful woman with dark hair and deep blue eyes. She was slim and her skin was pale. She had a long black dress on. She had dark eye shadow and red lipstick on.

'Spare me, Pansy, of your jealous attacks!' Draco said looking bored.

'Spare you? I'm your wife you bastard, I have the rights to be jealous every time you fuck with some other of your sluts! But this one must be special considering you never brought one home!'

Ginny finally realized she was calling her a slut. She was about to open her mouth to speak but Draco was quicker.

'She is not one of my sluts. You should know me better than o fuck a Weasley!' he said. Ginny looked at him has if she had just been slapped in the face. Once again she was about to speak but this time was Pansy who spoke.

'A Weasley! You brought a Weasley home! After so many time as your wife you surprised me, when I thought you couldn't be more bastard than you already are you managed to surprise me! But this time I won't forgive you that easily Draco! See you when you grow up a little, Draco!' and she left the library looking as if she meant what she had said.

'See you in hell then!' he said with a smirk in his face.

'You're married? And what was that about you don't fucking a Weasley? Like I wanted to fuck you! You know what you really are a bastard!' Ginny yelled at him.

'Calm down Weasley! You're embarrassing yourself!' he said obviously angry. 'Yes I'm married but you didn't need you to remind me Pansy already did and it's something I don't like to remember!'

'Then why did you marry her?'

'She was pregnant!'

'You have a child?'

'No, the boy was born lifeless!' Ginny looked at him looking for some hint of sadness but saw nothing.

'You don't seem to care!'

'I don't even know if it was my son, and if it was he wouldn't really live he would be alive.'

'What do you mean?'

'He would live in a broken home. His parents wouldn't pay him attention, he would become cold and spoiled, he would love no one but himself and if he happened to actually love someone he wouldn't be able to be loved because Malfoys can not be loved, we are feared and respected but never loved, it's an unwritten rule!' he said those words with so much coldness it hurt Ginny deep in her heart. She knew he was cold but saying that no one could love him was a lie when she had spent the last eleven years loving him.

'I'm sure your wife loves you!'

'You think? Don't be fool Weasley!People like me and Pansy don't love people, we love money and luxury but never people. She loves the life I can give her not me.'

'I'm sure somewhere in your life you had someone who loved you.' she said trying to keep the tears from falling.

'Maybe but I have never loved anyone so it's the same thing.' this time was Draco ordering himself to remain cool. He had loved, maybe he still did but those years away from her had made him someone worse than he had ever been. He had become someone like his father.

Ginny was feeling like she was going to cry.

'If you say so! I'm going to my room!' she said leaving the library. When she closed the door she run to her room. She laid in the bed and cried like she hadn't cried for a long time. Through the years she had learned how to keep the tears inside her but now everything she had built over the years, all the walls around her fell.

Draco saw her closing the door and heard her running in the corridor leading to her room. He closed his eyes. He had hurt her so much in the past it was still painful for him to think about it. So he preferred not to remember. He looked at the shields full of books.

"What was the words? Oh Yes!"

'Apparattum!' the shields near the wall moved to reveal another shield full of dark books some of who had to be locked. Draco picked a few and headed to his office. Realizing he had made a mistake he run towards Pansy's room. Her packs weren't there. By that time she must be too far away. He had to make her forget she had seen Ginny and he had to prepare a spell so that Pansy could not see Ginny. He asked the house elfs, they just said she had left. Where could she have gone? He ordered an House elf to go pick one of his owls and bring it to his office were he apparated. He wrote a quick letter to Dumbledore warning him that Pansy had seen Ginny by mistake but that he would change Pansy's memory. When the house elf gave him the owl he sent the letter.

Ginny had spent the rest of the afternoon crying in her room but she had fallen asleep. When Tikky appeared to tell her dinner was ready Ginny had just woken up. She washed her face erasing all signs of tears and went to have dinner. Draco was already there as usual. Ginny sat and dinner was served.

'I don't know how many time you'll spent here so it would be good if we could at least have some sort of conversation that is not trying to offend each other.' Draco said.

'I find it difficult knowing the arrogant man you are and how much I despise you.'

'It's not like I'm very fond of you Weasley but at least I'm trying.'

'Since when do you like relating to the people you live with? You don't seem to do that with your wife!'

'It's impossible to try to talk to you. Stubborn Weasel!' he murmured.

'It's impossible for you to talk to me, I'm not a fan of talking to someone I preferred not to see.'

'Fine! In silence we shall live!' he said obviously upset.

When they finished the meal Ginny got up and headed to her room. It would not be easy to sleep and she would think of him and would probably cry once more but at least she wouldn't be with him.

Draco went to his office and started doing what he had started doing in the afternoon. He opened one of his Dark Arts book and looked at the image of one of the most evil wizards that set foot on Earth: Tom Marvolo Riddle, more known has Lord Voldemort. He remembered many things he had learned with him, everything was becoming clearer now. Being in that house, in that country where he could still smell the blood that was shed during the war, where he could still hear the screams, he could still sense the fear. The war was over but people were still afraid of going out at night. Many Death Eaters were still on the loose ant they had been too quiet for too long. Draco felt something inside, something like emptiness, a weird emptiness that could only be filled with..."Control yourself Draco! You know what that emptiness his but you have to control it, you have managed to control it all this years won't let it get over you now!" he ordered himself. What he felt was hunger for blood , he missed the torturing and the killing. He missed the fear he saw in the eyes of his victims, he missed the chase of the prey, he missed the thrill of taking someones life. But he had learned how to control that feeling but when he was feeling weak it was harder to control and now, with Ginny around he felt weaker than he had ever felt.

He spent many hours looking through dark books full of dark spells and curses. It was three in the morning when he decided to leave the books there and go to sleep. He apparated in his room and undressed. He tried to fall asleep but all he had in his mind was something that he had thought a lot some years ago but that he had forgotten with time but that house was full of memories and ancient magic.

'You have to do it Draco! If you don't, they will and I will die anyway! If you do it, I will be able to give you something your worth, something to remember me!...Now Draco, do it!' Lucius whispered. His breath was becoming weaker and his hands were shaking. 'Do it Draco!' and it was with that words in his mind that Draco fell asleep.

Song: I love you, Goodbye

Artist: Diane Warren

Here they come

Ev'ry night the same

Silent stars

Light from a distant flame

Just Like the memories of you

That I hold inside

I see your touch

But all the warmth has died

Empty rooms

Crowded by the past

Time is my enemy

Day keep moving faster

But the nights alone can be

An eternity

That never heals the scars

If only you could see me now

Gooodbye is not so easy now

The freedom that I walked away to gain

Is nothing but these chains

That you alone can break

And you would free me now

Your heart would come undone

Just looking at me once

And my love would bring you back

If only you could see me now

Small chapter I know I'm sorry for taking so long and it's full of grammar errors I'll correct them as soon as I can but I just had to update.
