Chapter Fourteen
Hogwarts again
Ginny let herself melt into the kiss. His lips were warm and perfect against hers and for a moment she forgot everything that had happened and let herself float off. Draco held her firmly but gently.
She always imagined it would be Harry doing this. But Harry was the last thing on her mind right now.
"Ok! Enough already! I'll talk!" Lucius whined.
They broke the kiss, reluctantly. Ginny felt she wasn't the only one reluctant to stop the kiss. They turned to Lucius who was looking defeated.
"Your mother died three years ago. She was never the same after you disappeared. Then the winning of the battle. I watched her fade away."
"Like you fucking care." Draco snarled. His arm was still around Ginny's waist and she left it there. She was close to him and she went up to kiss his cheek, distracting him from his rage. He looked down at her with something close to tenderness in his eyes. She smiled at him.
"I do care." Lucius interrupted. "Despite what you think, I actually loved your mother."
Draco frowned. "But you were always fighting."
Lucius smirked. "What do you think we did after the fights?"
Draco's jaw dropped.
Lucius chuckled. "We used the fights as an excuse. We would fight about anything."
"Merlin! You couldn't have just had sex for fun like normal people?"
Lucius looked about to reply when his jaw dropped. He was staring at something past Ginny and Draco. The youths turned. Ginny wasn't able to catch a glimpse, but Draco must have, for he swore and shoved her out of the way.
There was a flash of bright light as Ginny hit the floor. She turned to see Draco was gone.

If Lucius thought the disappearance of his only child was to save him in anyway from any sort of retribution, he was quite wrong.
Ginny bounded to her feet and grabbed him by his shirt collar, not seeming to notice or care that she got some of his flesh in the mix.
"Tell me."
"About what?"
"You know damn well! What was behind us?"
He swallowed as she pulled her wand and pressed it to his temple. "Or I can be very creative." She growled.
He cringed back. "A Lygot."
Ginny paled. Lygots were essentially bounty hunters. They were given a name and told to retrieve the subject. They had no qualms about how they retrieved the subject or what shape they were in. Lygots had a perchance for pretty girls and also had no qualms about abusing said girls. Ginny understood why Draco pushed her aside.
She reached into her back pocket for the Maurader's Map and sighed. Draco was back in Hogwarts. She ran outside and retrieved her broom. She grabbed Draco's for good measure and speed off.
(A/N: Short I know. And I apologize. But less than ten chapters till this baby is done!
