Chp. 6
Ginny woke before the sun did, even before Draco or Zander. She smiled untangling herself from Draco and made her way to the bathroom for a shower. After her shower she transfigured her dress into a shirt and tights then her high heels into trainers. She wrote a short note to Draco, kissed Zander's small forehead, as he lay in a transfigured crib by Draco's bed, then made her way out of the dungeon and around the rest of Hogwarts. She meant to just wander aimlessly until the rest of the castle woke but soon found herself in Moaning Mertal's bathroom like many times in first year. "Back in my bathroom again little Weasley?" Mertal asked still holding a grudge against her for once again unleashing the basilisk on the school.
"Hello again Mertal" she said running her hand over the tap in the middle
"Come to wreak havoc again?"
"I didn't do it on purpose Mertal" Ginny snapped spinning around and glaring at the dead girl "I was possessed by Voldemort! I had no idea what I was doing. If you're going hold a grudge against me for being an impressionable 11 year old you're daft" she yelled before storming out of the bathroom leaving the ghost alone once again. Ginny mumbled under her breath about first year and how stupid she felt for letting Riddle win. She decided on somewhere with happier memories, towards the 7th floor she walked until she came to a large wall with nothing on it and nothing around. She closed her eyes and thought the same thing she would have if it was her 4th year again and she was looking to gain entrance for a DA meeting, she smiled when the wall formed a huge door. She stepped in and looked around, it looked exactly as it had all those years ago, she turned 360 degrees around in the center of the room taking in the whole room. Nothing had changed but she guessed that was one of the wonders of the room of requirement, she walked over to the mirror all the news cuttings, pictures, and the list of all their names still hung. She looked over the names, her heart sank when it came to her older brothers "Fred" she said sadly, running her fingers over his name. She closed her eyes and decided she should probably go back to Zander; she sighed and left the room.

Draco woke as soon as his door closed, he panicked when he noticed Ginny was gone but stopped when he noticed Zander was still sleeping in the crib he'd transfigured from two chairs. He sighed and walked over to the small boy, he was still sleeping "Good time for a shower" Draco said to himself before walking into the bathroom. He came back out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist water still beaded and dripping from him. He looked into the crib and found small grey eyes looking up into his own "Finally woke up 'ave you?" the small boy giggled "Well mummy's not here so you're stuck with me" Zander just stood up, smiled and watched Draco move about the room. Draco moved to the bathroom to get dressed unaware of the small boy trying to get out from the small crib, Zander giggled as his small feet touched the ground. He stumbled towards Draco's bed knocking into the nightstand and causing Draco's wand to roll off onto the floor. He plopped down onto floor and grabbed the 10'' piece of hawthorn, the toddler laughed and giggled as he waved the wand around causing all sorts of lights and colours. Draco came out of the bathroom only to have a red light speed towards him "Wow!" he yelled ducking and letting the light slam into the wall. He looked towards the crib and found it empty "ah shit" he said to himself, he suddenly spotted Zander on the floor playing with his wand. "Oh no you don't, little monster" he said lunging towards the toddler, he grabbed the wand but not wanting to hurt the boy he didn't pull as hard as he could have on it. He heard the door open and watched as a white light flew from the wand in the same direction, he watched as the spell hit Ginny directly in the chest and threw her against the wall. He ripped the wand from the boys hand and rushed to where Ginny was now laying trying to sit up. He put his hand on her back and gently helped her up "You have spawned yet another trouble making Malfoy" he smiled look at her
"Yah I knew that when he looked almost exactly like you" she laughed, it was struggled as she still couldn't breathe right. Draco looked towards the boy but couldn't place how he looked like him; Ginny snorted and waved her wand at the boy. "I used a glamour to hide him from the world. I didn't need the constant stares and questions" Draco's eyes widened as he now found a pale little blonde boy, who looked exactly as he had when he was one, staring back at him. He didn't know what to say, she stood up and picked Zander up "We should go to breakfast" she suggested. All Draco could do was nod, she reglamoured Zander and they made their way upstairs to the great hall. The doors were just opening as they arrived "I should go sit with the others" she said looking up at him, he nodded
"I'll see you after?" she nodded and kissed him lightly before making her way to the Gryffindor table.
