Chapter Six: Say Goodbye
Harry Potter looked at his watch. It was five to eleven. He was becoming impatient, it was nearly time and he seemed to be the only living soul in the alley. He looked around but saw nothing. He could only hear the footsteps and the voices of some people coming from Diagon- Alley. He leaned against a wall and looked at his watch again. Only one minute to eleven and still no sign of the kidnapper. He looked at the dark alley again and he heard footsteps getting closer of him but he could see no one. He put his hand in his pocket and grabbed his wand. His heart was beating so fast he was sure the person who was walking towards him could hear it. An old man, with a pointy nose and thin lips wearing a gray and dusty robe appeared out of the shadows of the alley.
"Are you Harry Potter?" the man asked looking at both sides.
"I am! Who are you?"
"This is for you!" the man said giving Harry a letter. Harry looked at the piece of parchment for several seconds. He could still remember what the other letter did to him.
"Hold it for a few seconds!" Harry ordered. The man seemed scared. It looked like the only thing he wanted was to Harry hold the letter so that he could run away. "Specialis Revelio!" Harry said. Nothing happened. That meant it was safe for him to open it. He took the letter out of the man's hand. The man as soon as Harry held the letter, ran away, disappearing in the shadows again. Harry opened the letter. There was nothing written there.
"Stupefy!" a voice said from behind him. Harry felt his mind getting empty.
Ginny opened her eyes. She was in a dark, round room. She looked around and her eyes caught the sight of a dark haired man, with his hands moored behind his back and his feet moored to the chair. It was Harry, she tried to scream but someone had put a silencing spell in her. She tried to move but she too was moored to a chair. Harry lifted his head, he had his eyes covered. She heard the voice of Draco, she tried to set free but she couldn't.
Harry felt like he had fallen from a broomstick for more than three meters. He shook his head and opened his eyes but he couldn't see. Someone had covered his eyes. He felt so stupid to let himself get caught. He had been the best student in Defense Against the Dark Arts but the last months he had reached the limit. He was tired and concerned. He had lowered the guard and now he was moored to a chair for what it seemed, with his eyes covered.
"Hello Potter! It has been a long time since our last encounter!" a man said from behind him. Harry could not see him but he knew exactly who he was. "Do you remember?"
"How could I forget Malfoy? You caused so many pains and destruction in that night!" Harry said with disgust.
"Unfortunately I was just a stupid boy trying to prove my father and all the other people I could do something worth it, if I was smarter, I would have caused so much more destruction, pain and deaths! But we're here to talk about the present and not about the past! I heard you lost your pretty beloved Weasel!"
"Where is she Malfoy? What have you done with her? I swear the if you hurt her I will kill you!"
"I don't think you are in a position to make any threats Potter, I could kill you now if I wanted to."
"Then why don't you?"
"It would be just too easy and besides I'm not the one who is suppose to kill you, Voldemort is!" Draco said, saying the name of his lord very slowly, as if tasting the sound of that name with delight. "And I can't wait to see that night!"
"If it's not to kill me, why did you bring me here?"
"I want you to say goodbye Potter!" Draco whispered in Harry's ear. Harry could feel Malfoy's breath in his neck, like a snake getting ready to bite him.
"Ginny!" Harry screamed.
"Calm down Potter! You'll see her! If you'd just stop moving your fucking head I would take that from your eyes!"
Harry stopped moving and seconds later a dark room appeared. The first think that appeared in his front was a red haired girl moored to the chair in front of him. She had bruises all over her, her clothes were torn.
"Ginny, are you ok?"
The girl opened her mouth but nothing came out of it. She looked desperate, she was moving, trying to free herself.
"What did you do to her? Whatever you did you'll pay Malfoy!" Harry said. He was feeling the tears coming to his eyes.
"What I did means nothing compared to what I'll do in front of you. She will be in so much pain you'll wish I had died in that bathroom in our sixth year. She will want to scream but she won't and you will want to save her and you won't, because the perfect Boy-Who-Lived is moored to a chair. It must be frustrating to be sitting right in front of the person you love and not being able to help her. I wouldn't know, never loved anyone!" Draco said with an evil smirk in his face.
"If you hurt her I swear I'll haunt you down and Cruciate you all the way to hell!"Harry said with anger.
"Oh no, no, no! I cannot believe my ears! Is the saint Harry Potter saying he will use a Unforgivable Curse in me? Do you know you can be arrested for that Potter?" Draco said with disdain. Draco gave a devilish laugh.
"I'll kill you Malfoy! I swear..."
"Poor Potter! Don't be fool, you can't even move! And the more you threat me, the more she will suffer!"
"You son of a bitch..."
"Done with the talking! I know Weasleys are very fond of Muggles so I chose a Muggle's object to begin with!" Draco took a knife from his pocket.
"Don't hurt her Malfoy!" Harry said but knowing it wouldn't mean thing. Tears started falling and rolling down his face. Ginny had her eyes closed and she was crying too. She was trying to speak. Harry could read in her lips the words 'Help Me, please!'
Draco cut her in the face and looked at Harry, he closed his eyes not to see the expression of pain in Ginny's face.
"Open your eyes Potter, if you don't I swear she will be begging for me to kill her before you can count to ten!"
Harry opened his eyes and tried not to close them again. Draco licked the blood that was rolling down Ginny's face and caressed her neck with the knife.
"She has a pretty neck, so pale and soft! It's a pity I'll have to cut it!" he said moving the knife through Ginny's neck. She opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out.
Harry wanted desperately to close his eyes, but if he did he knew Ginny would suffer a lot more.
"It hurts doesn't it Potter! It hurts more than it would hurt if I was cutting you!" Draco said and he was right. Harry would do anything to be in Ginny's place. In the day they told him she had disappeared he felt like someone had cut his heart in little pieces. Now he saw Ginny being tortured. With each drop of blood coming out of her he felt his heart breaking. If Malfoy killed Ginny, Harry would die with her.
"This Muggle things are worthless! There is nothing like a good old Unforgivable curse!" Draco smiled and pointed a wand to Ginny. Harry recognized his own wand. Ginny would be tortured with his wand. Harry tried to make the chair move but it didn't.
"Don't Malfoy..." Harry said, with his voice shaking.
Draco only laughed.
"Crucio!" he said. Ginny started twisting in her chair, with her mouth open. "This silence is boring! Sonorus!"
The room was suddenly filled with Ginny's scream. Harry wished he could cover his eras. It was sickening hearing Ginny scream and could do nothing.
"Ginny, I love you!" he said crying but she was screaming so loud it was impossible to hear him. Draco let her stay under the curse until her nose was bleeding and her mouth too. Ginny's voice was becoming weaker and weaker. She wasn't twisting anymore.
"Ginny... please...be strong... hold it... please Ginny...don't leave me!" Harry cried. But it did nothing. A few minutes later Ginny let her head fall to her shoulders. She was unconscious. Pain had knocked her down.
"Ginny... Nooooooooo!" Harry screamed.
"So sad!" Draco said laughing. "Poor girl! Two months alone, torturing herself and she survived, now not even an hour of torture and she couldn't handle!"
"I'll murder you Malfoy!" Harry split.
"I'm sure you'll try, specially after what I'll do! Say Goodbye Potter!"
"No. Malfoy don't! Don't...don't!" Harry begged.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Harry saw a green light coming out of his own wand and hitting Ginny in her heart. He saw her chest lifting for the last time and closed his eyes. He felt his heart almost stopping. A part of his soul had just died. He cried so hard, he wanted to kill Malfoy and commit suicide at the same time. How would he live without Ginny? How would he be able to breath knowing he wouldn't see her smile again or hear her voice, or touch her...
"I'll kill you Malfoy, I swear, I'll torture you and I'll kill you!"
"I'm sure you will! But it will be worth it! Your pain will never match mine! You lost your most precious thing Potter, I have nothing to lose! You can torture me, I've been there, I have tasted my own blood more than once, it won't hurt that much. You can kill every member of my family, they mean nothing to me. You can kill me, it's ok. My work here is done, I had my revenge." Draco laughed.
" If you don't kill me now I swear I'll kill you!" Harry hadn't heard what Draco had just said. All he could hear was the screams of Ginny moments before.
"It was never my intention to kill you, that's Voldemort's job! My job was to hurt you Potter, give you a deep and sickening pain that you would want to die!" Draco whispered in a snakelike voice.
"I hate you!" Harry snarled.
"Stupefy!" Draco said. Before he lost conscious Harry saw Ginny's face blushing the day they met in his first year, when he was at the platform 9 ¾. And then it was gone, everything became blank.
