Anyway I hoped you like chapy 14 because here comes chapter 15! ENJOY, LOVE YA! - DM16 (By the way I had just turn 16 in March, Yay me!!!! So you people should be congratulating me!!!!!)
Ginny opened her eyes to the bright sunlight that warmed her face, she smiled to herself realizing where she was. She turned around and saw a peaceful Draco sleeping beside her, his shallow warm breath on her face. Ginny slowly pulled back a strand of hair away from his face. Ginny then sat up and stretched her arms out then looked back at Draco. She smiled at him then she placed back the covers and got out of bed.
"I see you've finally awoken" Ginny turned around to see Madam Pomfrey searching through her cabinet. Ginny blushed "Oh wow, did she see me sleep with Draco?" She thought
"Um, well yes……….um, Madam Pomfrey did you-"
"You should go upstairs dear. Your brother and his friends are probably worried about you" Madam Pomfrey said still rumbling through her cabinet but held a smile to her face. Ginny sighed in relief thanking to Merlin that Madam Pomfrey didn't ask her any questions. Ginny nodded her head and then quickly left the Hospital Wing. As she headed up the stairs all she kept thinking about was Draco, she smiled to herself then reached the portrait with the fat lady in the pink dress.
"Lioness" Ginny mumbled then the fat lady opened the portrait, Ginny walked inside the common room to see Ron, Hermione, and Harry all sitting on the couches. Harry and Ron was playing wizard's chess while Hermione read a book delicately placed on her lap.
"Hey guys" The trio all turned around at once and saw Ginny standing there with a smile on her face.
"Ginny!" Hermione was the first person to react as she got up and hugged Ginny tightly.
"Uh, Hermione, air please" Ginny gasped Hermione let go of her and smiled at her weakly.
"Ginny!" Ron said as he too got up and ran towards Ginny, hugging her as tightly as possible, suddenly he pulled her roughly away from him.
"WHAT IN GODS NAME WERE YOU THINKING ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!?!" Ron screamed at his baby sister. Ginny looked at him confused,
"Um, right, nice to see you too Ron" Ginny said as she walked past him and sat down on a nearby red couch. Ron walked right in front of her both of his arms crossed.
"Are you crazy, what the hell were you wearing?!" Ginny rolled her eyes
"Well obviously Ronald It's a bustier" Ron narrowed his eyes at her
"Don't you be a smartass with me Ginevera you were out there wearing a bra!" Ron said as he flung his arms up in the air.
"It's not a bra!" Ginny now stood up in front of him her arms crossed
"It's a bra with little sprinkly things on it!" He said as he made a childish gesture with his hands. Hermione looked at him with one eye brow raised.
"You looked like a damn slut out ther-" Ron was cut of as Ginny slapped her hand across his face.
"How dare you talk to me that way, your own sister!?"
"Okay, Okay, that's enough you two" Hermione said as she got in between the two arguing siblings.
"Ronald you should know better than to jump on Ginny like that, and when she just came from the hospital wing too, for god sake Ronald give her sometime to breathe. And besides who was it the one who kept drooling over Pansy's outfit and her team?" Hermione said as she now glared at Ron. Ron blushed red and cleared his throat.
"Well, that's very much different, and besides Pansy Parkinson isn't my baby sister!" Ron looked at Ginny as he said that.
"I am not a damn child anymore Ron, god!" Ginny said as she shoved him. Ron growled at her
"Please you two" Harry said as he now walked over to the arguing group "This isn't necessary alright, it's been a long day so how about we-"
"No Harry I'm not just about finished with her yet" Ron said sneering at Ginny. Ginny rolled her eyes at him then plopped back down on the couch with a huff as she turned her head away.
"And what was all that about with the ferret?" The trio all looked at Ginny now with questions in their eyes. Ginny looked at them
"You mean Draco?" Ginny said as she raised an eyebrow. The trio gasped at her saying his first name.
"So it's Draco now huh, look Ginny, I don't know what happened out there on the field yesterday but I want to know why you did it?" Ginny looked at him with a quizzical look
"Wait, are you asking me why I saved him, are you seriously asking me that?" Ginny asked
"As a matter of fact yes I am why did you save him Ginny?" Ron asked Ginny gave him an exasperated look.
"Ron, he could have seriously injured himself or worse he could have died!" Ginny stood back up again facing Ron. Harry and Hermione looked at each other then looked back at the two siblings.
"So you'd rather have yourself gotten hurt than Malfoy, by letting him fall on you, do you know how stupid you sound right now Ginevera, you know what, it was bad enough to have Malfoy go with you and Luna to save Harry, but saving Malfoy was out of the question you practically have the whole school talking about it. It's like you and him are…are-"
"Friends, yea Ron we are, as a matter of fact we are really good friends, I saved him because I didn't want to see him die but apparently you wanted to!." Ron's face burned with red anger.
"You and Malfoy are friends Ginny?" Hermione asked but Ginny just ignored her.
"Ginny, that ass and his family has been tormenting our family for years now he's talked shit about us since forever and now you're friends, this is bullshit. Ginny, Malfoy is practically using you!"
"How dare you say that Ron, you don't even know him like that!" Ginny shouted
"What and you do, a little car ride in the sky and you now know everything about him?!" Ginny was silent she didn't want to tell Ron about the conversation her and Draco had when they were in the flying car or to tell Ron the real truth that Ginny finds Draco more than a friend. There was nothing else to say.
"Well do you have anything else to say Ginevera?" Ron said his hands on his hips Ginny looked at him her eyes filling up with water.
"Would you rather see him die?" Ginny said in a venomous tone Ron narrowed his eyes at her.
"Hey, one less ferret to worry about." Hermione gave Ron a shocked look, Harry nodded his head. Ginny looked at Ron with angering tears in her eyes but she refused to let them out. Ginny pushed pass Ron and stomped up the stairs. Hermione looked at Ron.
"Ron, how could you say something like that?"
"Would you rather see my sister become friends with a DeathEater Hermione. Someone like you should be smart enough to relize that." Hermione balled up her fists
"Someone like me huh?" Hermione pushed passed him and headed up the stairs. Ron gave her a confused look but before Hermione went upstairs she looked back at Ron and said.
"By the way Ron I made those bras with the little sprinkly things on it, just thought you should know" Then she too stomped upstairs. Ron's mouth dropped open.
"You- you mean- she- Hermione made…" Harry patted Ron's back
"You really need to understand women mate" Harry said as Ron sat on the couch with both hands on his head.
"What is the world coming to?" Ron said
Ginny sat on her bed with both of her arms wrapped around her legs. She stared at the red shaped triangles design on her bed sheet. Ginny heaved a sigh, then Hermione walked in slowly closing the door behind her.
"Ginny?" Hermione said as she walked over towards Ginny's bed, her curtains hiding her. She slowly pushed back the curtains and saw Ginny holding both of her legs while looking at her bed spread.
"Gin, you okay?" Hermione asked as she sat down on the bed next to her. Ginny looked up at her.
"Why is he such an ass" Hermione smiled
"He's your brother Gin, it's his job" Ginny chuckled at that
"He's just trying to protect you Gin that's all"
"I know" Ginny said
"And I know he means well but, he just doesn't understand… he never understands" Ginny said as she gave out a sigh. Hermione looked at her with a sad face and suddenly in walked Luna.
"Luna, how'd you get in here?" Hermione asked since Luna was a Ravenclaw. Luna raised an eyebrow at her.
"Why is it that every time I step in here you ask me that question?" Luna said as she sat down next to Ginny. Hermione was now the one to raise her eyebrow at her.
"…Ginny told me the password" Luna said Ginny looked at her.
"Traitor" Ginny pouted Luna laughed
"So Harry told me about the big argument" Luna said Ginny sighed
"Just forget it there's no use anyway" Ginny flopped down on her back in her bed while Hermione caressed her hair.
"Gin, don't you think you're being a little bit stoic?" Hermione asked
"Hermione you know how Ron is he'll get his way…. and I'll probably never get to see Draco again" Ginny said in a soft tone. Hermione raised her eyebrow
"Gin, do you like Malfoy?" Hermione asked Ginny looked up at her and nodded her head. Hermione's eyes widened
"When did this happen?" She asked
"Probably when they were having it out on the train" Luna said as she delicately looked at her finger nails. Ginny sat up quickly.
"You saw us?!"
"Well yea I went to go find you to see if you were okay and well, there you were, wow Gin you're like an animal. Didn't think you had it in you" Luna chuckled
"Oh god" Ginny smacked a hand to her forehead.
"Why didn't you tell us you and Draco were a thing Gin?" Hermione asked
"Because we aren't, I mean, I think we're not, look its complicated ok" Ginny said
"So, try to make us understand it Gin, you said you were going to tell me and Luna what's going on with you once you've gotten us together, so now that we're here, now would be the right time. Hermione said Luna looked at Ginny with the same concerned expression on her face. Ginny looked at them then sighed.
"I've….been having visions lately"
"Visions, what kind of visions?" Hermione asked Ginny sighed again
"I don't know, I keep getting visions of this little boy and in every vision he's always there, either running around leading me towards some place or if he's not there he calls me….Mommy"
"Mommy?" Luna asked
"Ginny, is this true?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded her head.
"It all started back in Diagon Alley, he just came one day showing me horrible visions of me crying, and blood spattering every where and ever since then I've been getting non-stop visions of the same boy playing games with my head and calling me mommy."
"Okay, well, where does Malfoy come in?" Luna asked
"Well before the visions had started Draco had told me something he's never mentioned to anybody" Ginny said
"And what did he say exactly" Hermione said in a serious tone
"Gosh, I feel like I'm in one of those muggle shows, uh what's it called again Mione'….oh Oprah that's it" Luna said with as she sprang up with excitement. Hermione glared at her.
"Go on Gin" Hermione ushered. Ginny sighed
"Have you ever heard of a disease called force bravery?" She asked Hermione looked at her then at Luna who had a confused expression on her face.
"Well, there are many diseases but I never heard of that one before" Hermione said
"Well, from what Draco told me he's had it since he was little, he told me that it never had happen to him before until his father was beating his mother and then for some reason he just cracked and wanted to stop his father from hitting his mom but when his father forced him to watch him beat his mother Draco just did what he was told and just… watched, he told me from that day on he would obey everything his father and everybody else told him to do." Ginny said
"But he doesn't act like he has a disease" Luna said
"That's because he tries not to be around a lot of people that might lead him into doing something he'll regret, why do you think he only hangs around with Crabbe and Goyle" Ginny said
"Wow, well that's one weird disease then" Luna said
"That's because it isn't a disease, it's a curse" Hermione said as she got up from Ginny's bed and stared out the window. Ginny looked at her.
"A curse, what do you mean Mione?" Luna asked Hermione stood silent for a while verifying her thoughts as she stared out into the sunlight
"Isn't it obvious, Ginny you said that Malfoy suddenly got his "Disease" as soon as his father forced him to watch him abuse his mother right?"
"Uh, yea" Ginny said looking at Hermione with more interest
"Well, don't you think it's weird that out of nowhere he just gets this so called "Disease"?
"It is kind of weird" Luna said Hermione stayed silent
"Curses are what you were born with out of your parent's blood when they have a curse that permanently given to them, but it barley happens through out the wizarding world they just do hexes, that's why most curses are forbidden because they will forever be with you and you can never get rid of it.
"Well, aren't diseases the same thing?" Ginny asked
"Yes they are, but in the wizarding world they are likely to go away with the right potions, curses are not that simple"
"So I was right Draco does have a curse" Ginny said to herself as she looked away.
"Gin, you said that the curse Malfoy has is for him to be forced to do what others tell him?" Luna asked Ginny nodded
"Well, what kind of a curse is that?" Luna asked
"Coraggio Forzato" Hermione said the room was silent for a minute. Ginny looked at the both of them.
"What does that mean?"
"It means Courage Forced" Hermione said as she now turned around from the window and walked back over to Ginny's bed taking a seat.
"I read about that it's a very, very rare curse that a young witch had" Luna said
"Coraggio Forzato, was started in 1545, a very smart witch named Esmeralda Lane, decided to do some more research on it and to see if there was any way to break the curse since she was given Coraggio Forzato by an unknown witch, who it was said that she only gave the curse to her because of her strong aura" Hermione said
"Strong aura what do you mean?"
"She means that Esmeralda had the type of power that was so strong that not even she can handle it, the type of power weather you live and die but you are never scared to think about it because you are only concentrated on one thing, and not many wizards or witches have that type of power, so the witch gave the curse to her to slow her down, you know, to show her who's boss and who runs things. A lot of witches and wizards knew what the witch had done and decided to hang her to her death … as a matter of fact I haven't heard of that curse for a long time now, that probably means that-" Luna said as Hermione cut her of.
"It means that the curse was covered up thousands of years ago, it wasn't mentioned until-"
"Until now!" Ginny said as she stood up from her bed
"You mean to tell me that Draco is the only one with the curse, but how no one has heard of it since a thousand years ago!" Ginny said in shock
"Yes, that witch gave Esmeralda Coraggio Forzato because of a prophecy of Esmeralda's future grand child to be very powerful and take down Salazar Slytherin's future grand child. It was said that when the witch found out about this she was furious and decided to use her powerful magic to set Coraggio Forzato on Esmeralda" Hermione said
"But why would she be furious about that, what does Salazar Slytherin have to do with her anyway I mean it's just a prophecy right those things don't naturally come true… right?" Ginny asked Hermione sighed
"I don't know Gin I'll have to look up on more information about the curse and the witch that started it, but for now can you do me a favor?""
"Sure" Ginny said
"I want you to ask Draco if there have been anyone in his family that has the same curse like him" Hermione said
"Do you think someone in his family has the same curse too?" Ginny asked
"Possibly, but I need to know for sure and I can only take the research further if you ask him Ginny" Hermione said. Ginny looked away for a moment but then nodded her head.
"Don't worry I'll ask him" Ginny said Hermione nodded her head as she got up from Ginny's bed and walked over to the door.
"I'm going to the library to do some research on Coraggio Forzato" Hermione said then left the room. Luna looked at Ginny who had sighed and looked towards the floor.
"You alright Gin?" Ginny snapped her head up quickly then looked at Luna giving her a fake smile
"Oh, yea, yea I'm fine" Ginny said. Luna looked at her suspiciously but then sighed.
"Well as for me I'm going to go get some breakfast with Harry, wanna come?" Luna asked as she got up from the bed
"Oh, no I think I'm going to go back to the hospital wing to check on Draco" Ginny said. Luna smiled at her.
"What?" Ginny asked
"You really like this boy don't you?" Ginny hesitated for a moment then looked back at Luna.
"Yes, yes I do, and I'll do anything to protect him" Luna nodded her head in approval as Ginny smiled at her then Luna left the room. A few minutes later Ginny sighed then got up and left the room as well. As she got down stairs she saw Ron sitting on the couch, his head placed in his hands. When he heard her come down the steps he popped his head up and looked at her, but Ginny just kept her head straight walking right towards the door. Ron rushed over towards her.
"Ginny look, I just want to say that I'm sorr-"
"Save it Ronald, I'm not in the mood" Ginny said as she was almost close to the door
"But-"
"I'll be in the Hospital Wing if you need me" Ginny said as she walked out the common room door. Ron sighed as he put his hands through his red locks.
"Women"
When Ginny reached the Hospital Wing she slowly opened the door and saw Draco still asleep. She smiled then walked over towards his bed. Ginny slowly pulled up a chair next to his bed and sat down. She stared at him quietly, his serene face lighting up the room, lighting up her whole life. Ginny then gently brushed back a strand of his hair that was blocking his face. At the touch of her hand Draco then wrinkled his nose and slowly opened his grey eyes. When he saw her he smiled.
"Good morning" He said
"Morning" She said still smiling. Draco slowly propped himself up on the bed supporting himself with both elbows.
"I figured you left earlier this morning?" He said
"Yea, I had to check on everybody to see if they were okay" Draco raised an eyebrow at this.
"Shouldn't that be the other way around?" He asked. Ginny chuckled at this
"Well, yes what I meant to say was that I went to go see everybody to make sure they weren't too worried about me and to let them know I was fine."
"So why didn't they come down to the hospital wing to see if you were fine then so they wouldn't have to be worried about you" He said as he rolled his eyes.
"Would you rather prefer seeing my brother freaking out at the sight of seeing us in bed together?" Ginny said
"Well it's not like we did anything" Ginny laughed
"Anyway, I figured I go get us some breakfast" Draco nodded then smiled Ginny laughed then started to leave the room but Draco suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Wait, instead of eating in, how about we take a walk in Hogsmead" Draco said grinning from ear to ear.
"Draco you know you can't leave the Hospital Wing without Madam Pomfrey knowing you're okay" Ginny protested
"I don't see why I need to let her know I'm perfectly fine. I feel better than ever" Draco protested as he got up out of bed then started jumping then started to flap his right arm.
"Even my arm feels better Gin" He said
"See, perfectly fine, no worries" He said. Ginny laughed at this.
"I don't know Draco"
"Aww, c'mon…please?" Draco pouted as he grabbed Ginny's hands in his. Ginny looked down at then and almost melted put held her ground.
"Alright fine, but just for awhile" She said Draco gave a victory smile at this.
"Great, c'mon" He said as he grabbed her arm and lead her out the door.
"It's so powerful Lucius, can you feel it?" Said the snake like figure sitting in the tattered up green couch. Lucius bowed to him.
"Yes my lord I feel it as if it were right there beside me" Lucius said then he lifted his head back up towards him.
"Do you think it may be the phrophecy my lord?" he said
"Probably Lucius, it is as strong like the phropecy mentioned, but it feels like the infant has not exsisted as yet, whoever carries this child will not only have a powerful infant but the mother to be as powerful as the child too, so unstoppable that it's power will be able to overcome mines as well" the snake like figure said
"We can not let this happen my lord"
"It won't happen, that is why I want the child so I can absorb its power….and then kill it. But we must get the potion ready in order to overcome the prophecy's fate. My life is at stake here Lucius, and I will stop at nothing to have that child's power, kill Harry Potter with it and rule the wizarding world in my rightful throne as Salazar Slytherin's noble and powerful grandson. Lucius I want you to go to Hogsmead and enter The Hogs Head where I had set up a little meeting with you and a man to give you some of the ingredients, in order for the potion to be complete"
"A man my lord?" Lucius asked with his eyebrows raised
"Don't worry Lucius he is loyal to me, just go and get me the ingredients, that is an order Lucius" Lucius bowed to him.
"Yes, Lord Voldemort" Lucius said. Then with a pop he left the rundown room.
