Chapter 5
Revealing
"Sure," she said, against her better judgement. To her surprise, he didn't open the door with the snake on it, he motioned her to folow him, furthur down the corridor. The corridor was very dark and omnious, making her shiver. Draco reached back, noticing her obvious discomfort, towards her, and grabbed her hand. She jumped a little at the human contact, but immediately felt warmth travel through her body, combatting the cold. She smiled unknowingly, following the Slytherin Prince into the darkness, believeing their was light at the end.
"Where are we going, Draco?" she asked. She said it barely above a whisper, for the corridor seemed to demand silence.
"You'll see, Weasly." he answered.
"oh," she said, and fell silent again. It dissapointed her slightly that he didn't use her first name, but he was probably just used to saying Weasly, right? Ginny sighed, causing Draco to look back at her, a strange look gracing his face. She smiled weakly, and looked away.
It seemed like they had been walking forever, turning down this corridor, and that. Finally, they came to an inconspicious door, that she would have just walked by if it hadn't been for Draco. He stopped so suddenly that Ginny slammed into him.
"Oof," she muttered, "oh, sorry, Draco." she said sheepishly. He just ignored her pathetic mutterings. He said something under his breath to the door. The door faded away to reveal the Malfoy family crest. Ginny gasped. The inertwining snakes slithered around the door, framing it. The door looked very heavy, probably made of pure silver, with a celtic knot in the centre, with the Malfoy family motto outling it. Draco placed his ring in the mouth of one of the snakes. The door began to glow a flourescent green, creaking open. Ginny waited, peering at the door, patiently awaiting the door to be fully open so she could see what was inside.
Draco was watching her antcipation with an actual smile playing at his lips. He hadn't known what had possesed him to ask her to stay, it was very unMalfoy, he didn't care though. He wanted to show her everything about him. She was the first person to ever see past the front he had concoted, trying to disguise himself. He had a weird knotting in his chest, that was quite foregin to him. It had started when he had taken her hand in the dark corridor. She had not immediately ripped her hand from his, she had let him hold it. He was astoinded at himself for even grabbing her hand in the first place, but he had wanted her to see that he wasn't going to hurt her, that she was safe with him. He was looking down at Ginny, her face and body outlined by the green glow of the room. He was grinning at her, when suddenly her body became stiff, with what he thought was fear. He was startled out of his reverie, as he tore his eyes away from her, looking in the direction she was. There he was, standing at the hearth, non chalantly swirling his brandy in his cupped glass, staring into the open flames of the fire. Draco felt rage boil up inside of him that he had never felt before. What was he doing here? Why now? Draco's eyes became cold and hard, as he stared at the figure before them. The person in question turned to stare at them both, his thin mouth turning into an evil grin. Draco recognized this grin, and he turned to look at Ginny. She looked up at him, confusion and fear mingled in her eyes. He tried to apologize with his eyes, but they were too filled with hate and anger, he didn't know if she understood. The figure started to advance on them.
"Ginny!" Draco yelled, "Run!"
