Chapter 4

Alice smiled and waved farewell to the elder Weasley couple.

"Any idea what your brother needs to tell us?" Draco asked, walking arm and arm with Alice towards the exit.

Alice shook her head, "Must be about you know what." Draco nodded his head thoughtfully in agreement.

Upon reaching the exit, the pair noticed Harry pacing back and fourth on the steps leading to the driveway.

"What's up?" Draco asked Harry, momentarily slowing the messy haired boy's pacing

.
"It's going to be harder then I thought," Harry said, "to get the locket," he added as an after thought, running a hand through his already messy hair.

"Why?" Alice asked.

"I can't take the locket off her myself, she has to do it," Harry supplied, "I think if I threatened her, she would probably dare me to cut off her head before removing it. She's just too bloody stubborn," came Harry's frustrated growl.

"Follow her," Draco stated.

"What?" Harry questioned, staring at the blonde with confusion.

"You are so slow sometimes Harry," Draco said rolling his eyes, "It's simple really, just follow her and wait till she takes it off. Then you take it before she notices."

Harry stared at him for a moment, thinking it through. Finally, he nodded, "That may just work. Thanks Blondie. Alice you come with me, and Draco head back to the ship and tell the crew to wait for orders."

"Can I get changed first?" Alice asked, looking down disdainfully at her dress.

Harry sighed then nodded, "Yes but be quick about it."

Alice grinned then nodded. Grabbing Draco by the hand she dragged him into the darkness and away from the eyes of her brother.

"Are you sure this is the right one?" Alice huffed, staring at the carriage Blaise Zabini was standing outside of.

Harry groaned then answered for what felt the millionth time, "Yes Alice I'm sure and if you're still not sure check out the large W on the back."

Alice frowned, "Why do I have to watch it and you get to look out for Ginevra?"

Harry rolled his eyes at his sister. "Because I'm the oldest and you are annoying."

Alice growled at him, "I'm only younger by a few minutes, so stop getting all big headed about it, and I'm not annoying!"

Harry shrugged, "Whatever you say Alice."

Alice snarled at her brother but stopped when his hand slapped over her mouth. He puts his finger to his lips, and pointed towards a small figure walking towards the carriage Zabini was guarding.

Neither of them noticed a pair of red eyes watching them from the shadows.

August 2nd 12:01am

Ginny huffed as she waited for her parents. They had told her they would be with her twenty minutes ago. But they were still talking to the Zabini's. Truthfully, she just wanted to go home so she could try to figure out why Harry had left suddenly. Was it something she said?

Forcing the questions to the back of her mind, she turned and watched her mother and father. They didn't't look as if they would be finishing their conversation anytime soon. Sighing, she turned and began walking towards a carriage.

"Alfred," she called to the old carriage keeper. She had met him once when she was hiding from Blaise when they were younger. Alfred came out from behind of the carriages and smiled warmly at her.

"Yes Miss Ginny?" He asked brushing his grey hair out of his soft blue eyes.

"Could you please tell my mother and father that I left without them."

Alfred nodded. "Of course miss Ginny. I'll leave a note in their carriage for you. I just have to pop round the back to get the other carriages."

Ginny smiled and nodded as she watched the old man walk out of her sight. She continued on towards another carriage. Her smile faltered as she noticed who was standing in front of the carriage she was headed towards.

"What do you want Zabini?" Ginny sneered. She was in no mood to deal with him tonight. She just wanted to be left alone.

Blaise grinned at her, brushing off her tone and spoke casually, "Your mother and father asked me to accompany you home. They didn't want their daughter riding home alone. You can never tell what sort of filth is out this time of night."

"Well I am sorry they wasted your time because I am perfectly fine on riding in a carriage on my own. So you may leave now," Ginny told him, as she walked towards the carriage door.

'Ugh, why did they have to ask him! Why him!' Ginny thought bitterly.

Blaise grinned at her, "Sorry Ginevra but I gave him my word."

Ginny huffed and ignored him; she grasped the door handle and climbed into the carriage.

"When will you leave me alone?" She asked once they were both seated in the carriage.

"I'll leave you alone once you agree to let me court you," He answered with a smirk on his face.

"Well you're just wasting your time," Ginny snapped, looking out the window.

"Well you'll never get rid of me my dear Ginevra."

"I'm not yours Zabini, I never have been and I certainly never will be."

"That's what you think," Blaise muttered knowing he would have her no matter what.

"Pardon?" Ginny asked.

"I didn't say anything," he answered staring at her blankly.

Ginny raised an eyebrow at him, and then continued to look out the window. Her eyes widened at the sight.

"Stop!" she screamed. She jumped out of the carriage before it even slowed down, landing on her knees. Picking herself up she ran towards a body lying on the ground.

"Harry," She whispered, staring at the motionless form, scratches and cuts lined his body, some deeper then others. She took hold of his wrist and checked his pulse. Feeling a sturdy beat relief flooded her, yet she had no idea why.

Her eyes widened when she noticed a medallion around his neck. It was shaped in the form of a lion. She knew what that meant he was pirate.

She had no idea what possessed her to do so but she quickly unhooked the chain and placed it in her pocket. Just as she knew it was out of sight, Zabini came running over.

"Who's this?" He asked, staring at the unconscious body that she was kneeling next to.

"A friend," Ginny answered, "Help me get him into the carriage."

Blaise looked at her as if she had grown an extra head. Since when did she ask him for help? He eyed the body of the man for a minute, before sighing, picking him up, and hoisting him over his shoulder.

Ginny smiled sadly, and walked beside Blaise towards the carriage. As soon as Blaise placed him in the carriage Ginny at next to Harry and placed his head in her lap, much to Blaise's dismay.

Throughout the journey back, Ginny was unconsciously running her hands through Harry's messy raven locks. Whilst Blaise had his arms crossed, scowling at the unconscious raven haired man.

Once they reached the Weasley manor, Ginny persuaded Blaise to carry Harry up to her room.

She smiled at him and bid him goodnight. She couldn't believe she had actually lasted ten minutes being nice to Blaise Zabini.

Once he left, Ginny turned her attention back to the raven-haired man. He lay there peacefully on the bed. Sighing Ginny turned towards the bathroom. She grabbed a clothe from the sink and wet it. She walked back into the room and began to clean Harry's wounds bandaging and stitching the deeper cuts. Once she finished, she ran and cleaned the rag then brought it back and placed it gently on his forehead.

Walking back into the bathroom, she called for one of the maids to fill the bathtub. She grabbed a towel and changed, whilst watching them fill the tub.

She was so relaxed in the tub she only realized she had been in there too long when the water got cold. Quickly washing herself, she stepped out the tub. She dried herself off and put on her nightgown.

As she stepped into her room, her eye widened in shock, where Harry was supposed to be laying was now empty. She looked over at the window to find it open. She ran towards it and looked out. She couldn't she anything just endless darkness and the silhouette of the trees.

She was about to turn to walk over to her bed, but stopped when she felt a tight hand around her waist pressing her against someone's back, and the cold metal of a blade pressed against her throat.

Alice ran towards the docks, her breaths coming in pants. She kept her feet going as she raced up the boarding plank and onto the deck. She scanned the deck for the face she was looking for. Once she found him she launched herself forward.

His eyes widened once he saw her, tears fell from her eyes as she crashed into him, throwing her arms around him.

"Alice?" He questioned, 'wasn't she suppose to be with Harry?'

"They attacked him!" She cried. "He ordered me to run, I ran here Draco. He said if he doesn't come back by tomorrow evening sail home without him."

Draco held onto her tightly, soothing her as she cried into his chest soaking his shirt. Once her sobs quieted down, Draco brought his face level with hers.

"Alice I need you to do me a favor, I need you to take four men with you to the place you last saw Harry they might of left him there. Ok?"

Alice nodded, wiping her eyes.

Draco smiled and kissed her forehead, then straitened up. "Go when you're ready."

Alice nodded again and hugged him tightly.

'Please be safe Harry.' Draco thought whilst holding the small raven-haired women.

"You could." He agreed. "But I know you wouldn't."
