Chapter 3
" So how do I do this" asked Ginny having jumped out of the hole shed dug.
" Circle the grave with the mixture of roots you got...you ground them like I said right?"
Ginny looked peeved " Yes I did...I know how to read instructions Cedric."
Cedric just continued on " Now after you finish that smear a handful of my funeral dirt on the slab of marbel...and lace it with the oil of a dead mans face."
" You never told me Id have to touch it Cedric...Merlins this is disgusting." Ginny replied looking at the bottle with revultion written all over her face.
" You dont need to touch it per say just sprinkle it ontop then. Miss Sensitivity."
"Ugh fine fine...huh...what was the vial for?"Said Ginny as she poked around the rest of the materials she was asked to get. Cedric looked at Ginny with what looked like a ghostly shade of red on his cheeks.
" I have a huge feeling that you're not gonna like what its for"
Ginny looked at the vial and at the small knife he'd asked her to get.
" I need you to fill the vial..with ...your um (cough) your blood." Cedric watched as her complexed look turned to one of anger and she yelled out" MY BLOOD ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND GHOST BOY! What in the world do you want me to do with it...try to shove it in your ghost form like some sort of football player and a dummy"
" No...you fill it ...and I drink it."
Ginny stood dumbfounded." You cant drink it ,your a ghost." she said matter of factly.
"What I meant is ...you make me " he pointed at his body "drink it. This is alot to ask for I know Ginny but this is the only thing that stands between my life and wandering forever as a ghost only you can see. "
" Cedric this is ...it feels wrong You want me to feed a man in a comma my blood."
"At least im not the dead guy anymore" he joked then turned serious" We'll be bonded in blood forever after this Ginny...I know Im asking for alot, but I need this...I need you"
"What do you mean bonded forever...what's going to happen to us?"
" The text that I read that from wasn't specific...it just said we would be tied together in life and death."
" OH MY MERLIN CEDRIC ARE YOU GOING TO KILL ME?"
"WHAT? Of course not Ginny, I may be a ghost but Im not a killer. "
" Oh ...in that case..i mean..ugh Im going to hate doing this." She took the small knife in her hand and sliced at her palm, cringing she put the vial to her hand and tilted it until the blood dripped filling it completely.
" And I just...like open your mouth and boom your alive?"
" We'll see"
Ginny looked up at Cedric from inside the grave..." Good luck" as she put the blood onto his lips.
A sudden rush of wind blew her out of the grave and had the air knocked right out of her. " You ok little red? "
" Oh you better not mean red riding hood because if so...im going to kill on how unorgiginal it is."
" But I just woke up.." Cedric said and handed her his hand. Ginny looked up at him no longer in his ghost form. " You're ...alive."
" Thanks to you."
"Well...what now?" Ginny said turning red at his last comment.
" Now...
" We...do what exactly parade into Hogwarts and then boom you forget about me or what? " Joked Ginny.
" At least you wont see me naked for a long time." He rebuttled looking at his hand still holding Ginnys.
" I dont know... I was kinda looking forward to that maybe I should of left you dead."
Cedric laughed and the sound made Ginnys heart start to flutter. She took her hand out of his and he looked down at the space confused and with a scowl on his face.
" Whats wrong" She asked.
" Oh...it just feels empty without your hand. " He said still looking at his hand.
" Its just your physical being getting its feel on things Im guessing "
" Yeah, yeah you must be right come on lets go." Cedric said and they made their way back to Hogwarts. But somewhere inside Ginny wanted it to be for a completely different reason.
