Ginny ran her hands through Draco's soft hair and moaned slightly as she felt his tongue probe her mouth. He slowly pushed her back until she was lying on the sofa in the Head's common room as her fingers clawed at his shirt in her passion filled haze.

Suddenly, a muffled, "Oh Merlin," came from the door.

Draco practically jumped off of Ginny and guiltily turned to face the portrait hole. Standing there, staring at the two teenagers in shock, were Tonks and Remus.

"Oh Merlin," Draco groaned, sinking down onto the sofa in shock.

Ginny futilely began to wish that this was all a dream but after closing her eyes and counting to ten and then pinching herself she forced herself to accept that her best friend and her best friend's fiancé had in fact walked in on her and Draco Malfoy, her family's enemy, making out.

"We can explain," she quickly said.

"Not the time. This really isn't important at the moment," Remus gravely told them.

Recognising the tone of voice he used from the time her father had been attacked, Ginny felt worry overwhelm her.

"What is it? Is someone hurt?"

"It's Percy, he – he's been attacked by some Death Eaters," Tonks gingerly explained.

"What? Why? Is he okay?"

"We think so."

"What happened?"

"You don't need to know, you're in shock," Draco interrupted, trying to stop her from getting more hurt.

"Tell me."

"He was put under the Cruciatus Curse," Remus was interrupted by Ginny's loud sob, "luckily someone came across them and managed to intervene before any lasting damage could be done."

"Merlin," Draco breathed before turning to Ginny to see how she had taken the news.

She was paler than Draco had ever seen her, her freckles standing out in stark contrast to the rest of her pasty face. Her body was stiff and slowly rocking back and forth. Her eyes, when she looked at his cousin, were hollow.

"Will he be alright? Can I see him? Go to him?"

"Not yet," Tonks' voice was low and soothing.

"We're not even meant to know about the attack yet. When I've had word of how he's faring, we'll come and tell you. There's nothing you can do at the moment. You'll see him soon."

Tonks continued to talk to Ginny while Remus beckoned Draco over. In hushed tones Remus began to tell Draco everything they knew about the attack. It was as bad, if not worse, than what they had told Ginny. Percy had been attacked in a remote back alley outside his apartment and there were very few other witches and wizards around. If not for Molly Weasley's family clock they wouldn't even know about it now. They were currently trying to get him to St Mungoes safely but apparition was impossible thanks to his injuries. He'd been tortured for a long time, seemingly purely for his position in the Ministry and his family. Molly would send word when he was safe but it might take some time. Draco had to ensure that Ginny didn't panic and remained calm, because Remus and Tonks had to go alert the remaining Weasleys and relieve them of whatever jobs they were currently doing for the Order.

Draco listened to this in silence and with a nod agreed to do all he could for Ginny. Saying goodbye to his cousin quietly, he returned to Ginny.

"It will be OK," Draco told her as he sat down.

"How do you know?" Ginny asked with a slight tremble in her voice.

"Don't tell anyone but I've always been amazingly good at Divination. But remember, you've got to keep it a secret, just think what it would do to my reputation."

Ginny laughed softly before looking serious again. "I'm scared," she whispered.

"I know. Come here."

Ginny moved along the sofa and leaned against him. He gently wrapped his arms around her and they stayed like that, with Draco gently stroking her hair, until Molly Weasley's patronus arrived with the news that Percy was safe at St Mungoes and that the Healers said he would be fine.

"There," Draco whispered to Ginny as she heard the news. "I told you everything would be OK."
