So you'll probably thinking, what happened when he almost kill Dumbledore. Well, I saw him coming down, he was shaking, being led by Severus Snape who looked as confident as ever.
"Draco! What happened?" But he never answered, just kept walking. It was only later that I found out from Harry what had happened. Draco did not kill Dumbledore, Snape did. That still didn't tell me why Draco ignored me, so I sent him an owl.
Draco,
Are you okay? I haven't heard from you since that night. What happened up there, that you were all shaken up? Why didn't you answer me? Please, just owl me, at least saying that your alright.
Your forever,
Ginny.
Two weeks. I waited two weeks for a letter. I started to think Voldemort had killed him, but the morning of my brother's wedding, I got my answer.
Dearest Ginny,
I'm sorry it took so long. I picked up the quill so many times, but could never find the right words. Even now as I write this, I know this isn't good enough, but it will have to do, as I must warn you. Tonight, You-Know-Who will take down the Minister and then, come after your family. I strongly protest you going to the wedding, but I have no way to stop you. I will be waiting though. At the top of the hill, where Loony lives, I will wait until I see the Death Eaters come, and I will come for you. As long as I'm there, you wont get hurt.
I know I hurt you Ginny and for that I am sorry. That night, I couldn't stand to look at you. In my eyes, I was a killer. I did not kill Dumbledore myself, but I just stood there and watched as Snape did it. I never wrote to you, because I truly had no idea how you felt about me. I was scared you had lost hope in me and gone off with Potter.
On that note, if in these past weeks, if you have gotten "close" to Potter, then just say it and I will never bother you again. At least Potter can give you something I cannot; a future. A future where you wont be hated in society. Well that is if Potter actually wins against You-Know-Who.
Ah, you must be wondering why I keep calling him that. Well he has put a hi-jinx lets call it, on his name. If anyone speaks or even writes it, then death eaters will show up immediately to kill you.
Please don't do anything stupid tonight. I will see you when the Minister falls.
Draco.
I gasped, reading the letter. I scrambled to hide the letter as my door opened to Harry Potter standing there.
"Hey Gin, your mom told me to come get you for breakfast." Harry stated , not looking in my eyes.
"Okay, I'll be right down." I smiled softly, looking down. I felt him hesitate then heard him walk down the stairs. I left out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
All through breakfast, getting ready, and even walking down the aisle questions ran through my head. I couldn't concentrate and heard no one. Why didn't he warn me sooner? How could he think I could be invovled with Harry? How can he think he can't give me a future? How can he think I would care about that? What does he mean not do anything stupid? All these questions angered me. Especially the last one. Did he not trust me? What is "stupid" to him?
The wedding went on without a hitch. Until a silver lynx landed in the middle of the dance floor. Before it even opened its mouth, I knew what had happened.
"The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming." panic arose. Screams came from every direction. People were running around me, but my mind went blank. Cracks could be heard from every directions. I was numb and rooted to the spot. Death Eaters and regular Ministry officials swarmed around everywhere. Someone pulled me, moving me into the house. I looked up, hope rising in me, wishing to see the platinum blonde hair, but instead I saw Fred, looking stricken.
"Gin are you okay? What happened? Why weren't you moving? I had to practically drag you to get here!" He rambled, but my mind was somewhere else. The gnawing feeling came.
He lied. A voice in my head stated.
No, he just got delayed.
He's not coming.
Your wrong!
I'm you, so I'm right. Admit it.
Never! Why would he lie to me?
He doesn't care about you.
He does.
Admit it, he doesn't care about you what so ever. He never did.
He did! He loved me!
He lied about loving you.
Shut up!
"Gin? Ginny? Hello?" I shook out of my daze to see my mother and father towering over me.
"What? What's going on?" That's when my mind went into panic mode.
"Gin, the death eaters crashed the wedding. Luckily everyone's safe but..." My mother trailed off, worry in her voice.
"Harry, Hermione, and Ron are gone. They disapperated somewhere. We don't know where they are but hopefully they're safe." My father finished.
Thought ran through my head. But somehow the grief never hit me as hard as I thought it would. Later, after finally escaping my family to "get some sleep" I stood in my room looking out the window. I was truly scared, my brother, the only I was closest to, was missing. Out saving the world. While I was stuck alone in a house pretending everything was normal. Pretending that my brother and Hermione, my best friend, and Harry were out risking their lives after all we've done to keep them safe. Pretending that the war hadn't affected my life so much in the past, even though it was just starting. Pretending that Voldemort did not hold all power now by killing just one more person. Pretending my heart wasn't breaking since the moment I knew Draco wasn't coming.
Draco. My thought instantly shifted to him. To how his eyes just barely twinkled when he was happy and that only I could see that. To how he fakes smiled all the time that when a real one comes out, it truly lights everything around it. To how even now that he had completely deserted me, I was in love with him.
Questions entered my mind. Why didn't he come?
Maybe he found someone else.
Like who?
Someone who wasn't a blood traitor.
Oh yeah, because that really narrows it down.
Hey don't blame me for not knowing the answer. After all–
Yeah, yeah, your me.
See? Now your seeing some sense.
Oh go away!
I shook my head trying to get the voice in my head to go away.
