I noticed a little mistake in this (The line was "Let me go Weasel bitch" but she shouldn't have known who Ginny was as she still has the scarf on!!) So I've changed one line. well done if anyone spotted it!


I'm sorry if the last chapter was a little confusing! I knew in my head what should happen but my evening was very broken up with phone calls, emails and my mother coming round to talk wedding stuff with a bottle of wine (never drink and write.)

Hopefully this chapter will be better and you'll get an explanation to the weirdness in a chapter or two!!

Thanks again for your reviews. I'm off to answer them now but I will say as one reviewer mentioned it. If you notice any punctuation or spelling errors then please let me know as I will go back and change them. (Sometimes it's me being daft and others its where my wireless keyboard runs out of signal and I don't notice so I really do appreciate when you spot them!)

Thanks :)


Ginny let out a little cry and ran blindly after it, not noticing the large group of wizards on racing brooms speeding their way towards her.
Draco looked up at Ginny running away and opened his mouth to shout at her that the bird would come back; but before the words could come out he realised she would be hit by the lead wizards, there was no way they could stop in time. Without thinking further he stretched out his hands, thought deep in his mind "Accio Ginny." and felt a deep pull in his stomach as the witch flew towards him, crashing against his body and throwing them both to the floor.

Ginny gasped as Draco's arms embraced her, she was flung to the ground but landed softly as Draco's body shielded her from the hard floor. "What were you thinking?" Draco asked, rubbing his shoulder.

"The bird was escaping. I didn't want to give my brother half a present!" she muttered.

"Did you hear nothing the man said? It will always come back. Ginny, you could have died; those wizards…"

"What wizards?" Ginny asked. They both looked round but saw no one but the usual shoppers, albeit looking slightly confused. Draco helped Ginny up from the floor and pulled her over to a nearby seat outside a café. Ginny couldn't help but follow his strong arms, she was so attracted to him and was desperately trying to contain her feelings in order to keep the first real friend she'd had that truly seemed to accept her for her and not Ron's sister.

Draco sat her down and hailed the waiter, ordering two coffees. "Something's not right. That spider escaped just to distract you and then I saw wizards on nimbus lightnings about to collide with you when you ran after the bird. Someone knows what's going on."

"You saved my life then." Ginny muttered. "Thank you Draco." She kissed him lightly on the cheek. She's right. I saved her life and broke the bond… So why do I want to kiss her more than I ever have? He thought.

They sat and drank their coffees in silence until Draco said. "What's going on Weasel? Why would someone target you?" She shook her head. "They can't know who I am… No one could. The ministry wouldn't have given these to Dad if they didn't work." She pulled at her scarf lightly.

Across the road there was a sudden commotion. People were screaming and running away, some of them fainting. Ginny peered over and saw a black cloaked shape slither out of an alleyway and corner a small ragged figure. She felt cold and slightly deadened but she had felt this way before and knew exactly what to do.

Draco watched numbly as Ginny stood up and strode across the floor, shouting a loud incantation and pointing her wand at the black robed figure. A large, bird shaped silver form exploded from the tip of her wand, soared across the space and flew at the dark being which fled under the onslaught it received. Ginny's silver bird vanished as soon as the creature was gone. Draco felt the warmth creep back into his body and ran after her. They both reached the crouching figure at the same time.

"Parkinson?" Draco uttered. The dirty, cowering girl looked up, "You know me?" she asked.

Draco grabbed her, none too gently and dragged her to a more secluded part of the road. "It's Draco you arse. This is the Weasel kings sister.What have you been doing? What trouble are you in and what do you know about the subterfuges that have taken place today?"

Ginny finally recognised Pansy Parkinson from school. She was skinny as a wraith, filthy and shivering like an abandoned dog; her clothes were ripped and stank of decay. She tried to say something but no words came out and she clawed her throat as if in pain. Ginny grabbed her hands and said quietly. "Don't try to speak. Don't even think about it. Come with me and I can help you. Draco - Carry her this way."

Draco swept the girl up into his arms and Ginny couldn't help but feel a flush of jealousy. She wanted Draco so badly now and here he was with his ex girlfriend in his arms. By her own bidding no less. They got to a hidden corner and Draco lay her on the floor. Ginny chanted an anti silencing spell, the dark haired girl wheezed as if she had run a marathon.

"Thank you." She croaked. Before she could utter another word Draco grabbed her shoulders and shook her, hard. "Tell me all you know. I'm warning you." Parkinson looked up at him with eyes so dark brown as to be almost black. "Draco. I… How are you alive? Everyone thinks you are dead." She tried to claw her way into a hug with him but Ginny held her down a little more roughly than was necessary. Jealousy lit a fire in her heart.

"You stay right there. Tell us what happened to you and what's been going on. From what I can tell Draco seems to think you have a part in all of this madness and I want to know what's going on."

Pansy narrowed her eyes and struggled. "Since when could you know what Malfoy thinks? His mind is a closed book. Let me go Weasel bitch."

Draco got angry at Ginny being called such a name. "She knows what I think since she means a lot to me and she's intuitive. Never befoul her name again." He softened at seeing his former alliance look at him with such a beaten and betrayed look. "Pansy let me help you. Tell me what you know and I can save you from whatever you're messed up in."

"He'll kill me." She whispered. Draco recognised the fear in her eyes.

"If you're talking about Him then no he won't. Not if people see me kill you first here and now. Do you trust me?" Parkinson paused and the nodded. Draco started screaming at her and calling her names that Ginny would never dare to repeat. He pulled Pansy so that the people in the road could see them better and grabbed her neck forcefully with both his hands.

"Trust me." He whispered in to Pansy's ear as his hands clamped down on her throat harder and harder. She managed a nod at which he choked her until she passed out.


Yes the shop assistant was weird and yes, he does have some relevance but not that much really! I made a spelling mistake when I wrote his first line and thought it actually sounded quite colloquial so I stuck with it... Not sure I should have but hey ho!!
