Chapter 5

The car flew silently through the air; none of them spoke a word to each other. When they finally reached Malfoy's house Ginny flew down next to the front gate with the large cursive M in the front. Ginny looked out in front of her, staring at the road and not even saying a word while Malfoy stared at his house. Ginny decided to break the awkward silence.

"Um, I just wanted to say thank you……for everything" She said not staring at him but he didn't answer her he just kept staring at the beautiful black Mansion. She finally turned to face him he was staring at the house with a serene look. "He looks so calm and peaceful it's actually kind of…..cute" She thought while staring at him. He finally turned around and caught her looking at him; Ginny quickly turned her head feeling a burning sensation creeping up her neck towards her face. Surprisingly she didn't here him complain about him looking at her or making some stupid smart remark (or a perverted one at that) she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and she could've sworn she saw him smile at her, not a smirk not even a sneer but a actual real smile "I've must've been imagining it" She thought. Draco turned around to the back to see Luna sleeping on Harry's shoulder while Harry rested his head on the glass window.

"Looks like they're asleep" he said

Ginny turned around to see them both sleeping peacefully. "Yes, they are, it's been a pretty hard night for them….especially Harry" she said giving a sigh. Draco stared at her

"Well, I better get going" he said getting up to leave but Ginny grabbed his arm

"Wait" she said "Don't go, I just need to know something before you leave" she said

He sighed then sat back down "What is it do you want to know?" he said.

"Why did you decided to help Harry…… I mean I know what I said to you before was pretty intense but that couldn't have been the reason why you decided to help us…..wasn't it?" she said staring at him with concern in her eyes. He looked at her then stared back at the mansion.

"I knew you were going to ask me that" he said but Ginny just kept staring at him waiting for an answer.

"Yes, I thought the only reason I wanted to help you and Potter out was because what you had said to me back at the Mansion

but now that I really thought about it, I was wrong." He said in a calm voice Ginny gave him a confused look but kept her mouth shut

"Potter and I are two different people Weasley, but we both have the same thing in common….. Bravery" he said still staring at the house.

"Well everyone has that Malfoy" she said

"Not everyone, you see some people were born with weakness and some people were born with bravery, Potter and I have a special kind of bravery something that we probably never wanted" he said Ginny still looked at him confused.

"You see, when I was a child I was just as normal as the other little kids, I was happy, sometimes shy, energetic, and scared. But towards my father I couldn't have been any of those things, I had to be just like him I had to be cunning, willing, charming and tough" he said

"If I wasn't, then I would be beaten until I had gotten those things beaten into me" he said

"He would try to force me to become someone I'm not, there was this one time when I finally cracked living with that sick bastard. I was 10, and those days my father would beat my mother, well that day he came home to find her sick in bed but knowing his ass he practically was horny as ever and when he wanted to have sex with her she told him no and that she was ill. My father got so mad at her that he dragged her out of bed and into the hallway, my mother was screaming for him to stop but he didn't care he just kept beating her till she did what he wanted. I know cause I was there watching the whole thing from the doorway of my room. I was so scared just hearing her,

screaming so hard for help, chocking on her own blood, but then something hit me, it was like a firecracker burst inside of me because for some reason I got mad, I suddenly ran towards them and pushed him off of my mother and I shouted at him to leave her alone but he got angrier and grabbed me by my shirt, he was going to hurt me, but my mother wouldn't have it she ran in front of me and told him to don't hurt me take her instead…….which he did, he pushed me aside and grabbed my mother's hair then took out his wand but before he did anything to her he stared at me and said "Draco, you have to learn to be brave you need to get up and watch this! You need to take it like a man someday you'll be in this position and you will feel like you have eternal glory out of everyone! You need to have courage Draco, you will someday have to do things you don't want to do; you do things out of choice not out of options! If you don't do them you'll be known as a coward and I would not have coward ness thrown at the family name do you here me!" Draco said imitating his father's voice

"It's funny how I still remember those words he said to me, it was like those words were synced into my brain so I never really could forget them" he said giving a little chuckle

"So I did what I was told I got up and watched I didn't cry but inside I was pouring out buckets, anyway that bravery is what I call a forced bravery everyday I had to be in those tight spots where I don't want to do something because I'm scared but I think back and it's like a lesson of my father's words were whipped into me and I do it anyway even though he doesn't live with us anymore and was thrown in Azkaban…..I sometimes feel like part of him is still in me" he said in a whisper

"I'm always going to feel that way and it's never going to change, I won't lie to you though what you said to me before really woke me up but that wasn't the reason why I did it, I just knew I had to because its something that will always be apart of me…what the DeathEater said back there how he compared me to my father of being weak……he was right, but I'd rather become weak then become something I'm forced into, In some ways my father was weak he used to hide from the Dark Lord knowing that he was back again and when he did reveal himself towards the Dark Lord he was lucky enough just to get screamed at instead of getting himself killed." He said

"People would always expect something from you even though it's not who you are, if they don't see it they'll look at you different….Just like Potter he probably doesn't even want all that fame and glory but he knows he'll hear the same thing every day, having to know that you're parents were murdered by one of the darkest and most evil wizards of all time can mess you up or-or-"

"Or living with a Muggle family who doesn't even love you but only took you in by choice?" Ginny said

"Exactly, People expect a lot of things from Potter that he probably doesn't want but he knows he has to do it because they'll look at him wrong if he backs out, people depend on him and put so much weight on his shoulders but he knows he can't back out because he's already involved……no matter what you do to try and get out of a bad situation you'll always be involved even if you do get out out of it you'll always be stuck. He said as he finally turned around to face her. Ginny couldn't believe it but she looked at Malfoy with new eyes she saw a side of him that she probably never might see again but she didn't care because she was happy at what she saw now. "His eyes are so soft and caring" she thought

"I- I'm sorry if I had put you in that situation I- I didn't know-"

"Of course you didn't Weasley, besides how were you suppose to know, anyway what's done is done right?" he said

"It's a shame though I was practically defending Potter just now, yikes!" He said as he gave a fake shiver

Ginny giggled

"I like the way she laughs" he said "Get a grip Draco what the hell are you thinking" he said as he shook his head mentally

"Thank you for everything though we couldn't have done it with out your help" she said giving him a warm smile

"Yea well, don't get all mushy on me alright?" he said

"Right, sorry" she said mockingly

"See ya later Weasellette" he said giving a little chuckle as he got out of the car and and walked towards the gate, he took out his wand muttered a spell and the gate suddenly opened he walked towards the ladder that was left beside the house and climbed back up towards the fifth window and then he was out of sight.

Ginny sighed and looked back at Luna and Harry she smiled and turned back around, she turned on the ignition and flew the car towards the burrow.
