Professor?

Chapter 10

"PROFESSOR MALFOY, HURRY GET IN HERE!"

"Rockchester? What is i-" Draco stopped mid-sentence when he saw Ginny's form on the floor. "Ginny." He whispered.

"Professor? We should get her to the hospital wing."

"Yes, yes we should, here I'll carry her. You go on and warn Madame Pomphrey." Draco picked up Ginny's limp form as Ricky Rockchester ran to the hospital wing. "Gin, oh good gosh, what happened to you?" Ginny's shirt barely came up and inch and Draco could see a bruise that he knew was not from teaching.

Ginny moaned and Draco began carrying her up to the hospital wing. When he got there Madame Pomphrey took her and pulled up her shirt as much as she could with men in the room and there they saw many bruises.

"What happened to her?" Ricky asked.

"I don't know. But she has been bruised badly and it looks as if she has a couple broken ribs." Pomphrey said.

"Wake her up."

"Professor Malfoy, she will have to wake up on her own."

"Wake her up!" just then Ginny stirred. She opened her eyes and when she saw where she was she wanted to go to sleep again she didn't want to answer their questions; she couldn't answer their questions.

"Ginny what happened?" Draco asked.

"…."

"Miss Weasley-"

"That's Professor Weasley, Madame Pomphrey," Ricky said. To which he got glares from both Pomphrey and Draco. "What?"

"Fine then, Professor Weasley, you need to tell us what happened to you, and who did it to you." Pomphrey said, concerned. Draco looked ready to kill, but he wasn't mad at Ginny he was mad at whoever did this to her. Ricky looked concerned and very curious. "Some one needs to go get Professor Dumbledore."

"Ricky go."

"Why me?"

"Because you don't need to be hearing this. Your not of the concerned party."

"Neither are you."

"Actually, Professor Malfoy is in the middle if I am not mistaken."

"Fine." And with that Ricky left.

"Ginny, what happened?" Draco questioned once he left. "Who did this to you?"

"…."

"Ginny you have to tell us!" Draco was practically hysterical. But luckily for Pomphrey and Ginny, Dumbledore walked through the door. He had successfully got Ricky to go back to his common room and he was now going to see what is wrong with a certain red head.

"Miss Weasley. Would you kindly inform us of what has happened to us, I am afraid if you don't then Mister Malfoy will most likely collapse from lack of oxygen. Please breathe Draco, you face is turning purple." It was true that once Dumbledore had walked into the room Draco had held his breathe in anticipation for Ginny's answer. But once he heard Dumbledore he took a well-needed breath.

"Professor-"

"Albus, please, Miss Weasley."

"Albus, I can't tell you."

"Why is that?" an angry Draco asked.

"Mister Malfoy, I don't think that you are helping." Madame Pomphrey said.

"I just want to know what is going on!"

"I know, we all do."

"Ginny," Draco said turning to her. "Please, Ginny just tell me what is going on."

"He… he hit me." Ginny mumbled out. Then clapped her hands on her mouth, horrified.

"Who Ginny? Who?" Draco asked. It was as if Dumbledore and Pomphrey weren't there, it was just Draco and Ginny. Draco pulled Ginny's hands away from her mouth and held them. "Ginny, it's ok, just tell me who."

"I can't he'll hurt me… he'll hurt me again. Oh gosh it hurts so bad."

"Who?"

"Get Fred and Meghan. Get them and I will tell them."

"Ok. I will." He left and was back shortly after flooing them. "They said that they would be here within the hour, and that Derrick would be coming with them." At Derrick's name Ginny looked up and Draco. She almost pleaded that he not come, but that would have given everything away.

----------------

"Gin bug!" Fred yelled once he was in the hospital wing and saw Ginny; he was running in with Meghan and Derrick following, albeit slower, right behind him. "Gin, what's wrong? Why are you here?"

"Fred, hon, breathe. Let Ginny breathe and stop firing questions at her." Meghan said once she caught up to him and was at Ginny's bedside. "Ginny are you quite alright?"

"Yeah, I think I am now, thanks for asking Meggy."

"Yes, Gin, we wouldn't want you hurt." Derrick said and gave her a pointed look, which Ginny ignored, or didn't see, Derrick wasn't sure.

"Now, Gin, please can we know what is going on?" Draco asked. He had been waiting long enough and didn't want to wait any longer.

"I only want to say this once and I only want to say it to Draco, Meggy, and Fred." She said giving the other three in the room a look that asked them to go away.

"I think I should stay too, after all Ginny and I were going to officially proclaim that we are a couple tonight but she had detention."

"No." Draco said firmly. "Leave." He did.

"Now, Ginny, hon, what is it?" Meghan asked.

"Its, well…" She lifted up her shirt a bit to show Fred and Meghan what happened to her.

"Who the bloody flip did this?" Fred asked.

"That's what I'm going to tell you."

"Gin, please don't say that we cant beat this guy to a bloody pulp." Fred said, Draco nodded.

"No, I don't mind. Beat him up all you want, it's not me you should be asking permission from anyway."

"What do you mean Ginny?" Draco asked.

"You should ask Meggy." Everyone turned and looked at her.

"What…" Meghan asked. "Why…" then she and the rest of the room realized who it was.

"Derrick." They all said at once. The looked to Ginny for confirmation about their new found information. Ginny nodded. Meghan gasped and sank to the floor crying. How could my own brother do this? How could he do it to my best friend of all people. At the same time that Meghan fell Draco ran out in search of Derrick. Fred sank to comfort Meghan and Ginny just sat there, in pan.

Draco ran back into the room. "He's gone."
