So I posted before that I was getting a lot of mean reviews from someone. And all of you great people told me to keep writing. So this is the 3rd chapter of my story. I hope you guys like it. Let me know, please?

And if the rude person who keeps leaving mean comments that are meant to make me feel bad is reading this. Why don't you just knock it off? If you don't like the ship, don't read it. And from the first review you left me, you obviously don't know much about Harry Potter universe if you honestly think that Ginny and Draco are related.

Chapter 3

"What the bloody hell are you doing in my sister's apartment?" Ron said from the other side of the door.

Draco heard Ginny groan from behind him but ignored it, keeping his eyes locked on her brother. Footsteps sounded in the hallway and he heard Granger's voice.

"Ronald, why are you standing in-" her sentence died when she too laid eyes on Draco standing in the door.

Draco stepped back, allowing them to enter the living room. They entered cautiously, looking around until their eyes found Ginny.

A moment later, Ron was back in attack mode. The second Draco closed the door, Ron had his wand out and pointed at Draco.

"Ron!" Ginny shouted, "What are doing? Put your wand away!"

But Ron wasn't paying her any attention. "I asked you a question," he said, looking at the tall blond. "What are you doing here?"

"For the same reason you are, I imagine, Weasley." Draco replied, "And I'd appreciate it if you lowered your wand."

"I don't believe you."

"Be smart for a minute Weasley. I'm sure after all that time with Granger, some of her brains had to wear off on you." he said smirking and looking over at Hermione. "Do you really think I'd be standing here if your sister didn't want me to be here?"

Ginny saw a flicker of hesitation and jumped in. "Ronald put your wand away right now! I won't have a duel in my home!"

His wand didn't move and she looked to Hermione for help. Hermione sighed before stepping between Ron and Draco. "Put the wand down, Ron."

Ron glared but lowered his wand. He turned to his sister. "What's he doing here Gin?"

"Yes, Ginevra," Draco added. "What am I doing here?"

"I..." She looked from Draco to Ron and Hermione. Her eyes pleaded with them to understand. "I was going to tell you guys."

Ron stared back at her. "Tell us? Tell us what, Ginny?"

"Well- er... Draco... Draco and I- We..."

"We're engaged, Weasley." Draco inserted, looking at the red head who would soon be his brother in law.

The room went silent and his eyes moved to his fiance. "See, it wasn't that hard."

Ginny's jaw dropped as she looked slowly from Draco to her brother.

"You're what?" Ron exclaimed.

"I'm engaged." she said, sighing and heard Hermione gasped.

"Not to this twit! If you're engaged to anyone it's Harry." Ron's ears started to turn red with his growing anger. "Harry's the one who loves you. He's the one you are supposed to be with."

Draco moved to step forward, fists clenched at his side. Ginny put her hand on his chest to stop him. "I'm not with Harry anymore, Ron. And I'm not going to be."

"No, Gin! I won't have it!" Ron shouted.

"I hardly think that's up to you, Weasley." Draco said calmly.

Ron's eyes flashed red as he shot a deathly glare at the blond man. " Stay out of this you slimy little ferret!"

"Ronald Weasley stop it! Stop it right now!" Ginny said, stomping her foot on the floor. "I won't have this barbaric behavior in my home!"

"But why him, Ginny? He's a Malfoy. An evil, death-eater Malfoy!" Ron said, turning to his younger sister. "He nearly had us all killed!"

"I saved your lives!" Draco growled menacingly as he stepped around Ginny to face Ron.

"Like hell you did! You would have handed us over on a silver platter if you could have been sure it was us!"

"You think I didn't know who you were?" Draco snarled. "That night the snatchers brought you lot to my home. You think I couldn't see past your silly attempts to hide? Do you really believe that I didn't know Potter the second I saw him? Of course I knew!"

"If you knew, then why not tell them? Why play stupid?" Ron taunted. "Because you weren't pretending. You had no-"

"Because of her!" Draco snapped. He looked back at his fiance and his eyes softened. "Because Potter could protect her. He could give her the life I never could."

There was silence as the words he had never said aloud hung in the air.

"Draco..." he heard her whisper.

"I didn't know what would happen to me." He said, turning to her and taking her hand. "I didn't know who would win the war. But I knew that Potter could protect you and keep you safe."

"That's enough!" Ron shouted. "Enough!"

Draco turned to him calmly. "You don't believe me? Ask Potter. He knew that I recognized him. I could see it in his eyes." Ron snorted in disbelief.

"Ron..." Ginny started.

"Look, Weasley. And hear this because I'm only saying it nicely once. I'm marrying your sister whether you like it or not. So get over your petty schoolyard problems and deal with it."

Ron huffed indignantly and grabbed Hermione's hand. "Come on, we're leaving."

Draco's eyes shifted to Hermione when she didn't move. Her eyes were locked on him. "No..." she muttered. "No, Ron. He... he's not lying."

"What are you talking about? He practically gave us to the death eaters!"

"No he didn't." Her eyes searched Draco's for something, some sign that he was lying. She found none. "I remember Ron. He could barely look at us. He didn't want to look."

"And that makes it alright?" Ron's voice grew louder in anger. "Because he didn't look at us, that makes it okay? No, that makes him a coward!"

Hermione turned to Ron. "Don't you get it Ronald? He knew it was us. From the moment he saw it he knew. He could have told them and we never would have made it out. But he didn't!"

"I don't want to hear any more of this. I'm leaving." Ron declared and walked out. Hermione gave them a fleeting glance before rushing after Ron.

Ron slammed the door with enough force to rattle the windows of 12 Grimmauld Place.

Harry's head poked around the corner into the hall. "Oh, hey Ron. I thought you and 'Mione went to Gin's for dinner?" He said, looking around. "Where is she anyways? You guys get into a fight or something?"

"Or something." Ron replied.

Harry shook his head. "Well, come on into the kitchen. Kreacher's just made dinner." he said.

Ron followed him into the kitchen and took a seat at the table. A long silence passed before either spoke again. "Let me ask you something, mate." Ron said, picking at the food Kreacher had put on his plate. "Do you remember when we were caught by the snatchers and taken to Malfoy Manor?"

"Sure," Harry nodded. "Not something a person easily forgets. Why?"

"Do you think Malfoy tried to help up that night?"

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, a little confused.

"I mean, do you think he recognized us and purposely didn't say anything?" Ron clarified.

Harry pondered the thought quietly for a few minutes before speaking again. "Well, thinking about, yeah. I swear that he recognized me that night. I thought for sure he was going to turn us in." He shook his head. "I never did find out why he didn't."

Ron was mumbling to himself. "He was telling the truth..."

"Who was?" Harry asked. When Ron didn't respond, he put his hand on his best friend's shoulder. "Ron?"

"Malfoy." Ron said. "Malfoy was telling the truth."

"Telling the truth about what though?" Harry asked.

"He was at Ginny's apartment. He said that he did it for her."

"Why would Malfoy want to save Gin though?"

Ron explained what happened at Ginny's apartment. "He said that he saved us for her. So that you could protect her..." Ron finished.

"But why...?" Harry said. "Why would she have mattered at all to him?"

"Didn't you hear me, Harry? I said that they're getting married."

But Harry was no longer listening. His mind was still contemplating what it meant that he saved her all those years ago. Ron watched as Harry stood and disaparated before his very eyes.

Let me know what you guys think!
