Chapter 7: I Am Yours As You Are Mine
The next day came Ginny detention.
She knocked on Umbridge's door and entered when she was invited in. Everywhere she looked she saw ugly cats and pink lace.
"Write some lines for me: 'I should respect my elders', begin."
Ginny wrote for a while, gritting her teeth in pain, as the words written in her blood had appeared on the back of her hand.
"Let me see," Umbridge demanded.
She looked at Ginny's bloody hand.
"You are free to go, I am sure you have learned your lesson."
Ginny left without another word.
Ginny went to the dungeons.
"Hello again Weasley." Said Draco.
"Hi, thank you for the other day," said Ginny politely.
"No problem. You should be careful,"
"Careful?" she asked, narrowing her eyes on him.
"Easy Red, I am not threatening you, just warning, my-arrg aunt is angry of your existence,"
"Your aunt?" she asked confused.
"Bellatrix Lestrange. You changed him, he is not the person they used to follow,"
"Oh, you know,"
"Yes, difficult not to. It's all my mother write about, how my aunt is furious over your relationship,"
"Well, good. I am trying to help him be better, and finish this war in the process,"
"Well, something is working. According to my mother one of the things Bella is grumbling about is that he look like a kid now,"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, I never met him, but apparently he changed his body,"
Ginny was frozen. He changed himself for her? Went back to his old kid like body?
"Miss Weasley, Draco is everything alright here?" asked Snape from the entrance to his classroom.
"She is shocked. I just told her that her boyfriend doesn't look like a snake anymore," said Draco.
"Draco!" hissed Snape. "Come in here you two,"
The two teens got in to the classroom, closing the door behind them.
"Ginny, you didn't know? And why are you bleeding?" asked Snape.
"No. He never told me, how long since he went back to his kid like body?"
"Just before Valentine's day, I think. What happened to your hand?"
"Umbridge."
"What did you do?" asked Draco.
"Nothing, I took the place of a first year,"
"Lizzy. She told me what happened and that an older student took her place, she was so terrified she didn't even notice your colors," said Snape.
"Why would you take the place of a Slytherin girl in detention?" asked Draco.
"That's what Tom asked, but she is just a kid, who cares what house she is?" answered Ginny.
Snape directed her to a chair and started to take care of her wounded hand.
"Who is Tom?" asked Draco.
"Voldemort," said Ginny, making both men flinch. She rolled her eyes at them.
"Here, hopefully it wouldn't scar," said Snape.
"Thanks." Said Ginny.
"Come on, I will escort you back," said Draco.
"O.k. thank you,"
"So how is it?" asked Draco.
"How is what?" asked Ginny.
"Dating… ah, Tom,"
"It's nice. He is smart, and witty, and he teaches me potions and spells, but we never actually met,"
"Really? So just letters?"
"No letters, except from Christmas and Valentine's day, just this," said Ginny, giving him the diary.
He furrowed his brows in confusion.
"You should read it, otherwise you wouldn't understand what I am talking about," said Ginny.
They sat on the stairs leading up to the entrance hall as Draco reads the diary.
"Wow," he said after a while.
"Yeah, he is a child, and he cares about me,"
"Cares about you? The man is completely in love with you, Red,"
"It's mutual," said Ginny with a sighed, putting the diary in her backpack.
"It's going to come out eventually," said Draco.
"Yes, and I will have Tom and Snape,"
"Snape?"
"We are in friendly terms, and he knows, he said he wouldn't turn his back on me when it will come out,"
"Well, we were never friends, but you can count on me too," said Draco.
"Thanks," she smiled at him and stood up. "Come on, dinner probably already started,"
He stood up and together they went in to the great hall.
Ron was staring at Ginny as they ate.
"What Ron?" she sighed.
"Why are you hanging out with Malfoy?"
"Because I want to," said Ginny.
"He is from Slytherin!" protested Ron.
"So?"
"So?! What do you mean so?!"
"I don't care, I will defeat him in Quidditch, but it doesn't mean that I can't hang out with him,"
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"Ron! Stop it!" called Hermione.
"No. I just don't care," said Ginny.
"Are you dating him?!" asked Ron.
"No. But who I date and what house they came from is my business ," she said calmly.
"The hell it is!" shouted Ron.
"Ron, stop making a scene, McGonagle is coming," said Harry.
McGonagle was striding to their direction.
"What is going on here?" she demanded.
"Nothing professor, just siblings dispute," said Hermione.
"Well, settle it quietly or I will start taking points, am I clear?"
"Yes professor," said Ron and Ginny together.
"Good." And she strode back to the teachers' table.
Ginny picked up her backpack and left, barely eating a thing.
Hi Tom, I'm mad at you.
Hello darling, I don't know how you found out, but he deserved that curse.
Ha? What are you talking about? Who did you curse?
Oh. Let's start over, why are you mad at me?
Too late Love. Who did you curse?
Damn. Just Malfoy, he tried to show solidarity to his sister in law and suggested I will get rid of you. He is fine, I swear. Why are you mad at me if not because of that?
Enough with cursing people.
I will do my best. Now tell me, what am I actually in trouble for?
I was told that you have returned to your kid like body, and you never even told me that you are going to try it.
Oh.
Yes, oh.
Sorry?
Tom, you don't need to hide things from me, I want to know, and I want to help when I can.
O.k. next time I will tell you. How did you even find out?
Narcissa Malfoy wrote a letter to her son that her sister was complaining about you looking like a kid and Draco told me.
Draco.
Yes.
I thought you hated the boy and now he is Draco?
I never hated him, we just never got along.
And now you do.
Love, are you jealous?
Of course not.
Yes you are, but you have nothing to be jealous about, blonde guys just aren't my thing, never were really.
That good to know. What is your thing, darling?
Brilliant, older, dark haired, pale skinned with dark brown eyes that bake chocolate cakes.
Tom was laughing and grinning widely. For a moment, just for a moment he was sure he is going to lose her for some kid at Hogwarts.
Interesting, where are you going to find that kind of a guy?
I am pretty sure I already got him, he has been mine for the last eight months or so.
Definitely. And never forget it my darling.
Likewise love. I am yours as you are mine.
Always?
Always.
You are upset. What else did I do?
Nothing honey, it's not you.
Who then? The fool?
Behave.
Never.
She smiled softly, her eyes full of tears. She never got along too well with Ron, but he was closer to her in age, so they spent a lot of time together and now…
I fought with Ron. He saw me talking to Draco and started shouting in the middle of dinner, even McGonagle came to tell us to stop.
I am so sorry my darling. Don't cry, not when I can't hold you and wipe your tears.
I am smearing the ink again.
It's alright, I love you Kitten.
I love you too, hon'. And I want to see you, maybe in the summer?
Sure my darling, we will find a way to meet.
Looking forward to it.
Me too.
