Chapter 4 (HP3)

Draco made his way home, picking the shadiest parts of the street, making his way over to his apartment on the other side of London. Ginny clouded his mind though. The thoughts of her hair, her lips, her body, was intoxicating, he wanted it so bad but he couldn't have it. A Malfoy cant have a Weasley. It just wasn't done. A muggle car passed causing headlights to reveal his hiding spot. Draco swiftly moved out of the way his cloak traveling behind him. They would be coming back for him. He knew they hadn't been scared off by one measly flare, or Ginny. They saw her save him. They would be after her or him. He didn't want to leave her unprotected but it had to be done, he needed to get to the ministry. So he place spells on her apartment from the outside. Protection from intruders and from seeing or hearing bugs. Nothing would hurt her for now but he couldn't be sure of later. She was still vulnerable and he was prepared to protect her…though the Malfoy in him was screaming about his stupidity.

It's a damn Weasley! You're a Malfoy your above her don't lower your self to her level!

But she's amazing

You ARE a Malfoy!

And?

You could get a girl to sleep with you in two second why do you want her?

Because she isn't any girl…she's special…

Yeah that's what her mom tells her every morning!

That was lame

Needed to be said!

She saved me dick I should protect her since she's in danger because of that.

Always the gentleman!

Duh!

What ever do what you want.

I will

Fine

Fine!

Draco huffed turning a corner into a dark alleyway.

"Well, well, well… a little ferret walked into a little trap." Draco Instantly produced his wand. "No need for that, we wouldn't want any fighting tonight….by the way… how is it that the Great Draco Malfoy is falling in love with a Weasley." Draco's eyes narrowed in fury.

"I don't know sounds far fetched kinda like how Blaise Zambini suddenly become a dick and betrayed his friend?" Blaise landed in front of him. Black cloak falling behind him but his face was covered by a white mask.

"I didn't betray you" he said in a soft whisper. He came so close to Draco that his mask was almost touching Draco's nose. "You betrayed us." In an instant Blaise's fist connected with Draco's stomach. Draco doubled over in pain. "We will repay you Draco… by taking something you seem to like….Right Crabbe?" Draco looked up in horror as another figure appeared in the ally way. Crabbe was wearing the same thing as Blaise but he had a small body slung over his shoulder. Crabbe took the figure down from his shoulder and turned it to face him. Unconscious Ginny's head lulled to the side.

"GINNY!" Draco got up and went to run for her but Blaise slid in between them. "

"Oh don't be a fool Draco. Like we would give her up so easily…" Blaise laughed behind his Neo Death Eaters mask. "You must decide by tomorrow." Again Blaise came within inches of Draco's face. "You or her?" With the last word they disapparated.

Draco screamed into the darkness.

"ME!!! ME A THOUSAND TIMES ME!!!!!" Falling to his knees he felt the concrete floor. A sudden thunder clap released a torrent of water to fall on his crying figure in the ally. "GINNY!!!" he pounded the hard ground with his fists. Water splashed onto his face, tears streamed from Draco's normally uncaring cold gray eyes. 'This can't be happening. Not more than 2 hours ago, I found someone I cared about… and now because of me she's gone! She could die! She could be tortured!' "Potter!" Draco stood up the fresh cuts on his fists bleed down his hands. "I need to get Potter he loves her. He'll help!" He ran as fast as he could. The street splashed water on his already soaked clothing. The rain only came down faster. Everyone knew were Potter lived. He needed to get there fast. Draco stopped. 'This is ridiculous I will never get there in time!' "Accio Broom" Within a second his broom was speeding towards him. He grabbed the handle, straddled the broom and sped of to his mortal enemy's house.

Draco stood in front of a mansion. POTTER in bold letters on the door. Draco hesitated for a second. The rain ran down his hair flowing down his face. The tear tracks were completely washed away. His hair was plastered to his head, his cloths to his body like a second skin. He put all his pride away and thought of Ginny as he rang the door bell.

"Yeah tell them I'll be at the ceremony at 5" Harry opened the door but when he faced Draco he went to close the door again. Draco put his foot in the door.

"Potter this is important!"

"I'm sure it is."

"Its about Ginny"

"I KNEW IT!"

"No dolt! She's in trouble, she's been captured by Neo Death Eaters!" Harry looked at Draco with concern but then he narrowed his eyes and moved to close the door again. "POTTER LISTEN TO ME! SHE'S BEEN CAPTURED! BY BLAISE AND CRABBE!!! IT'S MY FAULT I DIDN'T PROTECT HER! BUT I CANT TAKE 2 NEO DEATH EATERS BY MY SELF IF YOU LOVE GINNY AT ALL HELP ME SAVE HER!!!!" Draco screamed at the top of his lungs, tears streamed down his face again. "Please….Harry…..Help me save her…" He looked at the ground as he pleaded. Harry looked at him quizzically but then nodded and bid him in. Draco sighed a little then wiped his eyes. Harry ran into the next room and threw powder into the fire place. Draco followed after him slowly.

"Ron, Draco Malfoy is here."

"THAT FOUL GIT WERE, WERE IS HE?"

"Listen to me Ron, He says Ginny's been captured by death eaters.." The face in the fireplace went as white as it could then it disappeared. A minute later Ron was standing in Harry's room.

"Her apartment is empty it looks like there was struggle!! Oh my god! GINNY!" Ron held his head and screamed to the ceiling. He suddenly noticed Draco and instantly had him pinned to a wall. "WERE THE FUCK IS MY SISTER?!?" Draco was speechless being pinned so fast. Ron made a move to punch him but Draco ducked. "WHERE IS SHE YOU BASTARD!"

"SHE'S WITH BLAISE ZAMBINI!" Draco shouted back, Ron released him. "I am sorry its my fault I didn't protect her!" Ron ran back to Harry.

"WE ARE GUNNA DO SOMETHING RIGHT?!"

"Of course go get everyone!" in another instance Ron was gone again. Harry turned to Draco but didn't look at him. Harry stood thoughtful for a second. " Malfoy…I am going to trust you…But if you had anything to do with this or if your setting us up… I swear you will regret it."

"You forget potter I have been in the ministry for 6 years, I wouldn't be there if I was a death eater."

"Don't make me laugh" Harry looked him in the eye. "Your father and countless others were in the ministry for years before they were exposed for what they were." Draco scowled at the mention of his cursed father. Suddenly Hermione was in Harry's room.

"I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT GINNY AND DEATH EATERS, RON WAS IN HYSTERICS!" she was in hysterics herself. Harry explained everything, and Hermione looked at Malfoy with suspicion. As more and more of Potters posse arrived Draco could feel all the dirty looks he was getting, and the comments. Then Potter spoke out.

"QUIET!" in an instant all the murmuring stopped. "Ginny's been captured by Neo Death Eaters Blaise Zambini, and Crabbe. We have to get her back, But only Malfoy knows how…." Everyone turned to him. "Well Malfoy?" Draco looked out on the crowd of nasty looks and took a deep breath.

"Come morning Blaise will come to my house and try and strike a deal. Ginny for Me…." He paused as murmurs broke out again. "At that point we need to save Ginny before the trade is complete."

"Why?" Draco looked over at Ron who was smirking. "Why shouldn't we just wait for you to give your life for my sisters and be done with it? Two birds with one stone?"

"Because no matter what happens if you don't step in…Ginny will be killed out of spite." Ron turned pail as Draco explained how a death eater doesn't let prisoners go…even for a trade. "No one in the trade will make it out alive."

As the rest decided on a plan Draco flew home as to not seem suspicious. The told him not to worry they would save them both.

"Even if your not worth saving." Ron had spat. That didn't stop Draco's worrying. What if Ginny was already dead. The thought was unbearable. Especially since this was all his fault. He flew off in the night, the storm had stopped but the air was still frigged. He landed on his porch. Sighing he opened his door. He walked in very cautiously.

"Lumos" The light from his wand filled the main hall. Hanging from the main chandelier was a string with an envelope attached. Draco could only imagine the horrors inside it. With shaky hands he ripped it off the string. Opening it slowly a small index card was inside. A small red lock was magically stuck to the card Draco flipped it over.

"Her hair smell's good, don't you agree" Blaise's smug voice rang out in the air. Draco screamed out into his apartment.

"GINNNNNY I SWEAR I WILL SAVE YOU!!! BE STRONG!!!!"

Hee hee this is fun! Susspence!!!!
