Ron was sitting in his office charting the last known area that Lucius Malfoy had been seen in. He was trying to figure out where the Death Eater was heading. It seemed like he was going to the coast.

The door banged open and Hermione and Ron came rushing in.

"Ron!" Hermione gasped. "Ginny's wand is missing!"

"What!" Ron jumped up, scattering papers everywhere. "Who would take Ginny's wand?" He yelled.

"I would."

Ron, Hermione, and Harry spun around to look at the voice coming from the doorway.

"I needed to give it to Ginny. She is in trouble." Blaise added with a sigh.

"Where is my sister?" Ron hissed. Blaise just held out a scroll of parchment in response.

Ron took it and yanked it open. Harry and Hermione read over Ron's shoulder.

Dear Ron Weasley/ My older brother Ron,

First I would like to say that I am perfectly fine. No one kidnapped me, or hurt me. The storm that I was flying through knocked me off my broom. An old friend of mine from school found me and healed my injuries. Unfortunately I dropped my wand, so we had Blaise go and get it for me.

Now, Ron. I know that you probably have two questions.

One- Who rescued me.

Now don't throw a fit when I tell you, but the person who saved me is the same person who has been sending us the anonymous notes. He proved that to me by saying, 'take me to the Quidditch Pitch for one last game.' He is also the person we have been searching for. Draco Malfoy, who I am perfectly happy with, saved my life again.

Two- Why do I need my wand so badly.

We think that Lucius Malfoy escaped so he could murder the person who betrayed him. Since Draco is the one who sent us the letter about Lucius' whereabouts, we believe that Malfoy Senior is going after Draco for revenge. Therefore, anyone in the general vicinity of Draco is in danger. I am still too weak to apparate, and I can't Floo either, so I am stuck here with Draco.

We sent Blaise to get my wand, and to bring you to Draco's home. But, we told Blaise not to bring you here if you don't promise, out loud for everyone to hear, that you will not harm Draco or try to capture him, until you hear his story. I made the same mistake and I nearly lost him. I don't want to loose him again.

Ginny

Weasley, I promise not to harm Ginny, ever. I will never make her do anything against her will. Please understand that I mean everything I have just written.

We really need you to come here and help capture my father. I handed him over to you once, I can even quote the letter, and I want to hand him over to you again. Please come here. I don't think I can protect your sister on my own.

Sincerely,

Draco Malfoy

Ron slowly looked up at Blaise, a shocked look covering his face. "You mean to tell me that my little sister is living with Draco Malfoy." He said in a deadly voice.

Blaise nodded cautiously. "She was going out with him during her sixth year at Hogwarts," he added with a wince.

Ron's face went purple.

"What is this bit about Draco saving her life twice?" Hermione cut in.

"You remember Millicent Bulstrode?" Blaise asked her with a lifted eyebrow. Hermione nodded. "Well she tried to drown Ginny in the lake and Draco stopped her. He carried Ginny up to the hospital wing and stayed with her until she woke up."

Harry gasped. "So that's why Bulstrode was expelled and why Ginny was in the hospital wing. We never found out why."

"That's also why we barely saw Ginny in the common room for the rest of our seventh year," Hermione added, thinking excitedly. "She probably went to visit Draco in his Head Boy room almost every night."

Ron's face went blue.

"But, why did Ginny break up with Draco?" Harry asked.

"She broke up with him because he had gotten the Dark Mark. Ginny had made Draco promise not to get it, and when he did, she wouldn't listen to his explanation." Blaise answered. "You see, Draco and I had a system. The first one to find out when we were getting the Mark would owl the other. Then we would both try to escape. Draco's father caught Draco and put him under the imperious curse. Draco is extremely susceptive to it. I got Draco's owl and ran to Hogwarts."

Hermione nodded. "So Draco was really a good person, his father was just controlling him the entire time?"

"Exactly!" Blaise smiled. "Draco didn't have a choice. And without Ginny there to support him, Draco didn't bother trying to fight off his father. I think Draco was hoping that someone would kill him."

Ron's face was white. "So you are telling me that Ginny likes Draco, and Draco is innocent of every Death Eater crime he committed?"

Blaise nodded excitedly. "Now all you have to do is say the promise that Ginny wrote out on the sheet and I can bring you to your sister." Blaise smiled at Ron's look of complete outrage.

"Ron, it's simple. We can kill two birds with one stone!" Hermione said. "We can capture Lucius, and end the two year case on Draco!"

"By proving him innocent!" Ron screamed.

"Ron, maybe he is innocent!" Harry screamed back. "We can't condemn him if we don't know the facts!"

Ron snarled back half-heartedly and sighed. "Give me the damn paper. Keeping Ginny safe is more important at the moment. We can sort out the Draco Malfoy business later."

Blaise handed him the paper and Ron read the promise.

"I will not harm Draco or try to capture him, until I hear his story."

Blase nodded and pulled out a bag of Floo power. "Just jump into the fireplace and yell 'Draco's House.'"

When they got there Ron immediately hissed, "Where's my sister?"

"On the couch," Blaise answered with a secretive smile.

Ron stomped over to the couch and stopped short, his face going red again.

Ginny and Draco were sitting together on the couch fast asleep. Ginny had her head pressed into Draco's chest and they both had their arms wrapped around each other.

Ron opened his mouth and two pairs of hands descended on it.

"Leave them alone," Harry hissed in his ear. Once they were sure that Ron wouldn't explode and start yelling, Harry and Hermione let him go.

It was going to be an interesting few days.
