The Art of Dance
Ginny looked at Chris with pain in her eyes and screamed "I see him on the concrete with various colors on his face all the time now. How can you expect those memories to ever go away? I will always be like Chris… always."
Chris looked at her with confusion. She had never been quite like this before and he was scared. Ginny did have problems with believing in herself and had a horrible past, but she had never screamed at him like this before.
Ginny went to the barré and began to stretch her leg muscles for the hundredth time that day. He went over to her and said to her gently "You don't have to be strong all the time. Just cry… for once." There were unshed tears in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall.
Chris took a step forward and she took a step back. "Please just leave me I need to be by myself." He shook his head. The last time he left her alone in this state she found a knife and tried to slit her wrists. "I won't let you do this again. You were fine for a year. What has brought this back?" he asked her.
"There is so much that you won't ever understand about me Chris. Things that I don't even want to know what I do. I know that you have been there with me through almost all of my hardest times, at least 5th year and up, but I need something other than you or Elizabeth or Liz. I need someone other than you all to fall back on," she told him.
When he took another step forward and she took another step back. Draco entered to see this happen. He saw the look in her eyes as if this guy was going to hurt her. He ran over and pushed Chris against the wall.
Ginny began screaming "Draco NO! Please stop. I know him! If you hurt him I'll call the aurors." He let go of this stranger then Ginny asked "Chris are you okay?" he replied with a short breaths and said "Yeah I will be as soon as this lunatic lets me go." Draco then let go of him.
"Who is this?" Chris asked exasperatedly. "This is Draco Malfoy. He is the little girls' father I was telling you about the other day." Ginny replied. Chris said okay and left.
"What are you doing here and why did you attack him?" she asked harshly. "I thought… I thought he was attacking you. There was a look in your eyes that said that he was doing something to you so I just assumed…" he was cut off with "Don't you know what assume MEANS?" she inquired. "Well, yes." "Well then you shouldn't assume EVER!"
She then stormed into her office and went through a secret door and entered a dark room with a dusty barré and floor. She turned on the dusty stereo as loud as she could and danced until there was no tomorrow.
Draco started running after her and came to her office which was wide open, but couldn't find her. He then heard loud music coming from the other side of the wall and started searching for something to find a way into where Ginny was.
He finally found the door to the "hidden" dance room and entered to see Ginny doing multiple ala saccones. He started to count 1.2.3.4…10.11.12.13. He was scared that she didn't know to stop. She just kept turning and turning and turning. Finally she brought her leg into passé and did a triple pirouette and landed.
He stood in the shadows and watched her grab her head and start to cry her heart out. She had tears running down her face and just sobbing. He just wanted to go over there and hug her. Yes, Draco Malfoy was a softie now that he gained custody of his god daughter.
He didn't though. He knew that she would just need to be alone. Something happened and he didn't know what it was. He came back to get Micah's dance bag that they forgot to pick up on their way out. When he entered he saw this Chris person stepping forward and her back away. He knew that questioning would get him no where so he wouldn't press on till later.
He then left the studio and went to the Manor.
Ginny danced the night away. She didn't want to go and confront Elizabeth because she knew that Chris told Elizabeth about what happened. She went and just choreographed what she was feeling to 'Broken' by Seether feat. Amy Lee.
