Chapter 6

Fainting Violinist, Surprising News, and An Unknown Family Member

Draco wandered from the ground floor to the top floor all morning. He found strange creatures like Buckbeak, whom he remembered and to whom he gave a sincere apology before leaving the hippogriff to his confusion. Then he found a room with papers scattered on every inch of the floor, spell books lying open on every available space. When Draco sat on the bed, he saw one of Mrs. Weasley's famous sweaters. He picked it up and looked at the initials on the front. S.B. This was Draco's father's room. Draco looked around in wonder, wishing he could have at least met Sirius, but reminded himself that that was the past, and he had to deal with it.

Draco came back down to the kitchen for lunch, where everyone was either sitting quietly eating or chatting noisily with their neighbor. In this case, Ginny was the only one sitting quietly. Draco went and sat across from her. "I'm glad that you agreed to take dancing lessons with me. You'll have a lot of fun. I'm sure. I know I did when my sister taught me."

"You have a sister?"

"Yup, she's older than me. She taught me how to sing, dance, and play the violin."

"You can play the violin?"

"Yeah. Someday, I hope to become a violinist. When I play the violin it sets my heart on fire. It's like cooking to Mrs. Weasley. We all have our passions. Mine just happens to be the violin." Ginny looked down at her food, than over at Draco. The boy she thought to be a horrible, nasty person her whole life, was having a conversation about talents with her.

"We have a violin up in one of the spare rooms if you want to play. I'm sure everyone here would enjoy it." Ginny sprang up out of her chair. "I'll go and get it right now!"

Ginny ran up the stairs to the room next to hers and grabbed the violin case with the violin in it. It was Sirius's, and she was sure he would want his only son to use it.

"Here you go, Draco! It was your father's. He was really good, too!" Draco lifted the violin out of its case with steady hands. He lifted the violin to his chin and carefully raised the bow. He pulled the bow across the strings with ease and music filled the room and silenced any conversation anyone might have been having.

Draco closed his green eyes, and let the bow slide over the violin. His arms moved back and forth like a river, back and forth, back and forth. The song, Ginny recognized, was a continuation to the one he sung last night, as it had the same melody being repeated. When Draco's song came to an end, all was quiet.

Draco opened his eyes and looked at everyone in embarrassment. He looked down and blushed. He was putting the violin away when he heard applause. He turned around and Ron and Harry were standing, clapping, and one by one, the rest of the Weasleys stood and clapped, and Draco smiled, before the pain in his back flared and he fainted from the pain.

When Draco awoke, he didn't remember what had happened. He sat up and touched his back. His scars had been strained again. It was too much excitement from everything that had been happening, it must have made his back muscles tense up.

He sat up and looked around. He was in his bed next to Ron's, Pig was flying around above his bed and Ginny was fast asleep on Ron's bed. Draco stood and walked over to Ginny. Although a glance out the window showed that daylight had faded to darkness, they were both still wearing their clothes. Draco knelt next to Ginny, caressing her hand. She had grown from the possessed first year six years ago. She was a woman now, and he could tell she was proud of it. Draco knew he was proud of her for how much she had matured.

He stood, gently kissed her forehead, and left so as not to wake Ginny. He walked downstairs to the kitchen, careful not to strain his back too much. He walked into a complete and awkward silence. Everyone's face looked worried, even Hermione's. "Um," Draco began, "I'm really sorry, I just have a little, er, back pain. That's all, please don't worry about me. I mean, thank you for worrying but you shouldn't worry…" He stopped when Hermione had him in a strangle hold.

"You had me worried to death! Don't ever do that again, Draco Black! Ever do you hear me? Oh, what would I have done if anything hurt the baby because of you? I'll tell you what I'd do, I'd strangle you!" Everyone stared in bewilderment at Hermione, who was holding her stomach in protective hands.

"Not exactly the way I wanted everyone to know, but yes, we're going to have a child, and," Harry got up and put an arm around Hermione's shoulders, "we would like to ask the son of my godfather to be the new child's godfather." Harry and Hermione looked at Draco with hope in their eyes.

Draco's eyes showed nothing but happiness. "How could I say no? Of course I will! I will be the best godfather, just like my father!" Draco smiled and looked at the rest of the Weasleys. "I want to thank all of you for letting me stay with you and welcoming me in, like a brother, or a family member. One of your own while my- my- other family completely tormented you their whole lives. I know this isn't my place to intrude, and I really don't want to be impolite or ruin the mood, but I really need to discuss something with all of you."

Draco, Harry, and Hermione all sat down and everyone turned their attention to Draco. "My sister. I think we need to save her from Malfoy mansion, even if she's only my half-sister."
