Ginevra.

Chp 4

The buzz around her was dying off there was only a few old friends crowded around her now including Hermione and Luna. Suddenly the old headmaster emerged from the crowd and bowed to them, Ginny smiled "May I steal you away for a moment Ms. Weasley?" he asked looking at the crowd around her. Ginny nodded and handed Zander to Hermione, Dumbledore extended his arm to her, she curled her hand around it and let him lead her from the hall. They stood in the court yard; Dumbledore looked up at the millions of stars littering the sky. "It's good to know you have not passed on like so many of us thought" he said breaking the silence.

"It's nice to be home again" she replied

"How did you stay so well hidden for all this time?" he questioned

"I went to Sweden right after the war ended and the incident, I used a glamour to hide my identity" she explained

"May I ask what incident?"

"During the last month of the war I was kidnapped by Death Eaters and taken to the Malfoy Manor. The Death Eaters were under the impression that if they took me Harry would come looking; completely unaware that Harry wasn't even at Hogwarts when they took me. Anyway to pass the time till Harry came to 'save' me they thought it would be good fun to rape me. In the end I spent most of my time tied to Lucious Malfoy's bed as a few days in he decided I was 'his'" she explained. Dumbledore looked completely horrified, 'her voice didn't crack once talking about that. She's more brave then we think' he thought to himself.

"Why did you leave? You should have stayed with your family, if not that than here! I would have more than happily allowed you to stay here until you felt safe" he stated.

"I'm the youngest of 7 kids, I was only 16 and pregnant, it was safer they think I was dead. They didn't need the burden of my son and I after what happened to Fred, plus Harry didn't need a girlfriend that was carrying a Death Eaters child." Dumbledore just nodded, "I should get back Hermione isn't one for kids and I'm sure Zander is giving her his all" she hugged the older wizard and made her way back inside.

"You can come out Mr. Malfoy" he said suddenly, Draco moved out of the shadows and stood beside him. Dumbledore could tell he was fuming about what he had overheard. "There is not much you can do Mr. Malfoy. What's done is done. Your father is dead, Ms. Weasley is no longer with child, and you have a fiancé you should be dancing with." He turned to Draco "Good night Mr. Malfoy" the older wizard left, leaving Draco still fuming. He sighed and made his way back to the ball where he would just have to sit and watch Ginny be burdened by his father's mess.

"Oh Draco dear" he heard his fiancé call, sending shivers of disgust down his spine. "You have missed the most delightful conversation"

"Cut the shit Pansy. You're not dignified at all! You're not fooling anyone" he snarled, he couldn't believe he had agreed to marry her. This was all his father's fault, he'd forced him to propose to her. People were looking at them now

"Keep your voice down! Your making a scene!" she snarled back

"You think I care! Let them watch!" he yelled drawing the attention of the entire ball. "I don't think this is going to work Pansy. My father is dead. I don't have to marry you anymore. You might as well go and marry one of the many guys you have been sleeping with behind my back" he turned and walked away from her.

"You'll regret that Draco! I know everything about you!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.

"You don't know shit about me!" he yelled behind him walking out of the hall.

Ginny watched Draco and Pansy fight, her eyes following him as he left; he glanced at her before leaving the hall. "Luna, could you watch Zander? I have to use the washroom" Luna nodded and took the small boy. Ginny fled from the hall quickly trying to listen from Draco's footsteps, she wandered around the halls before sighing, she'd lost him. She turned to head back to the ball but ran into what felt like a wall. "I'm sorry" she apologized to the surprisingly soft wall.

"I knew you'd follow" she looked up and found Draco looking down at her

"If I wasn't supposed to follow I apologize but I was under the impression you wanted me too from the look you gave me back in the hall" she pulled back and moved to leave. He grabbed her arms

"I assure you I wanted you to follow" she looked up at him "I wanted to apologize"

"For what"

"For everything, for how I treated you when we were here, for what my father did, for what my family did to yours" she didn't say anything, just looked at the ground. "Ginny I've liked you since fifth year, when we broke into the room of requirement and stopped the DA. Which I'm also sorry for, I was power hungry and too afraid of my own emotions to see how much the DA meant to you" he admitted before pressing his lips to hers. Her heart jumped as he put his hand on her lower back and pulled her closer to him. Her lungs soon won the fight for air and she pulled back from him, he continued to kiss her jaw and neck, she gasped and let a small moan escape her. He worked his way back to her lips, claiming them once more.

"Ginny!"
