Professor?

Chapter 11

"What do you mean he's gone?" Fred asked.

"He's gone, that evil son of a-"

"Shut your mouth Draco Malfoy, that's still my brother you're talking about!" Meghan exclaimed. She was upset and Draco wasn't helping at all.

"We're going to look for him, we won't kill him, don't worry sweetie, he just can't get away with doing this to my little sister." Fred said.

"I know he can't I'll just stay here with Ginny, you and Draco go."

"Ok," Fred said then he turned to Ginny. "Mum will probably be by later on, ok?"

"Yeah, fine. Let's keep the Derrick stuff on the down low, I don't want or need mum fussing over me anymore then she will."

"Alright. Draco let's go." Fred kissed Meghan then left, Draco looked at Ginny, then turned and followed Fred out side.

"You know she still loves you right?" Fred said to Draco once they were out of earshot of the girls.

"Maybe… she didn't tell me though, I was here the whole time and she didn't tell me and I didn't help." Draco said looking at the floor. "She probably hates me for that."

"She doesn't expect you to know everything! Gosh, she knows you're only human! Plus, you wouldn't be that bad of a brother-in-law."

"I don't even know if she'll take me back yet…"

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

"Ginny, I'm so so so sorry! I don't understand how Derrick could do this to you! I don't understand how he could do it to anyone actually. What's wrong with him?" Meghan said, so flustered and upset she was rambling on and on mostly to herself.

"Meg, don't worry about it. It's not your fault that your brother decided to do some bad things. I'm sorry you had to find out like this." Ginny said patting Meghan's shoulder.

"What if Fred doesn't want to marry me anymore because it would mean being related to Derrick?" Meghan sobbed. She was hysterical.

"Meggy! That would never happen and you know it! He loves you too much! Trust me, he won't leave you because of your idiot brother." Ginny said trying to sooth her dear friend.

"Your… mo-mot-mother probably won't let us get married now because of Derrick either." Meghan sobbed. What was going through her mind?

"My mother loves you, she doesn't have to love your brother, she knows you're a good person and loves your like a daughter, that doesn't mean she has to love your brother, goodness knows she has enough sons to deal with." Ginny said trying to lighten the mood. Meghan nodded. Ginny patted to a spot on the bed and Meghan crawled up and laid down and Ginny hugged her and comforted her. Kind of ironic but Meghan seemed to be having the most problems with it so Ginny had to be strong.

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

About an hour later Molly Weasley walked through the doors. She went directly to her daughter's bed where she found Ginny reading and Meghan Sullivan sleeping with her head on Ginny's pillow.

"Shh! Don't wake her up mum. I just got her settled down, she was hysterical." Ginny whispered.

"Alright," Molly responded. "What happened Ginny?"

"I'd rather not talk about it right now mum, later ok?"

"Fine." So Molly busied her self by making sure Ginny was all right and Meghan too, when she woke up, they pulled over another bed for Meghan and put it right next to Ginny's. At about eight o' clock at night Fred and Draco finally came home, but they were empty handed.

"Well? Where is he?" Meghan asked. She was determined to give that boy she had called a brother and a twin all these years a piece of her mind!

"We couldn't find him. He could be anywhere." Fred said and came and kissed Meghan then sat on the edge of her bed, her hand in his and he rubbed her knuckles as the conversation continued.

"It's true we even split up even though Fred was afraid I would kill him the moment I saw him." Draco said, taking a chair next to Ginny's bed. Since he walked into the room he hadn't looked at her. He's ashamed of me. He doesn't want me anymore, and the only reason he's out looking for Derrick is because he feels it an obligation. Ginny thought. How far from the truth one could be.

"Well, you probably would! And Meghan said not too, and we don't need you in Azkaban because of him!"

"That's true." Draco said looking at his hands. He wanted to go sit on the edge of Ginny's bed, have her hand in his, he wanted to be able to rub her knuckles with his thumb the way Fred was able to do with Meghan. He wanted to do that so badly.

"Hello boys, decided to join us finally?" Molly Weasley said as she walked into the room, she had heard the whole exchange and knew part of what was going on but not all of it. Draco stood up and offered her his chair. "Oh, thank you dear, why don't you take that chair right next to Ginny?"

"Oh… ok…" He sat down and Ginny sat up and leaned against the headboard.

"Ginny is it true your going out with this fine young man?" Molly asked. Ginny looked stunned, for one her mother knew and two she called Draco Malfoy a FINE YOUNG MAN!

"Oh… we were going out but were not anymore…" Ginny said not looking at her mother.

"Why ever not? We, that is to say, your father and I would not disapprove, we know that Draco is nothing like his father. In fact your father was just talking with Dumbledore the other day and they were discussing Draco and you teaching and your father said that after what a horrible mess the Harry ordeal turned out to be Draco Malfoy would be a nice relief." Both Draco and Ginny sat there stunned out of their minds. What just happened there?

"Ginny! Ginny! Ginny! There you are!" Ron just walked into the room.

"Hello Ron…" Ginny said. She wasn't exactly excited for him to be here.

"Malfoy! What is Malfoy doing here? What happened to you? Why are you in the hospital wing? I came to visit you here at work only to come to find you're in here! Why is Meghan in that bed what's going on?" Ron asked, firing one question after another not letting anyone have enough time to answer any of them.

"Ron, breathe. I'm in here because I was abused-"

"By who? MALFOY! IT WAS YOU WASN'T IT?" Ron grabbed Draco by his collar. But Fred stepped in and pushed Ron off him.

"Yes, Ron, of course Draco abused Ginny, that's why we're all letting him sit right next to her while she's in the hospital wing recovering from his attacks. No you idiot! It was not Draco Malfoy that abused her!" Fred exclaimed and whacked Ron upside his head.

"Well… you never know…"

"Idiot." Ginny mumbled. "Anyway, to answer the rest of your questions, Draco is here because he rescued me when I fainted after the last attack I got. I think you know why I'm the hospital wing and Meghan wasn't feeling well so she's just lying down and has had a pepper up potion. Answer all your questions?"

"Ginny, honey, who hurt you?" Molly asked. Everyone looked at Ginny, even Draco for the first time. All the men were standing and so was Molly who looked so small next to them.

"Derrick…" Ginny said, Ron and Molly gasped. "Please don't be mad at Meggy, its not her fault…"

"Oh, dear, why would we be mad at Meghan? It wasn't her who hurt you. We love Meghan so much and can't wait until she's an honorary member of the family." Molly said walking over and putting her hand on top of Meghan's. "We love you dear and you will be a wonderful addition to the family." Meghan smiled.

"Back to the important matters! My little sister was abused! Where is this guy? I want to beat the crap out of him!" Ron partially yelled.

"Get in line." Draco said.

"I think I know where Derrick might be…" Meghan said, interrupting a fight before it started.

"Where?" Draco Ron and Fred all said at once.

"Home."

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

I thought that I would stop it there. Next chapter will have Derrick getting what he deserves and defiantly some Draco/Ginny! I think this will probably end in about another two or three chapters epilogue included. Thanks! Review!
