A/N: I own nothing but Adelé and the plot.
Thanks to my awesome reviewers! Now a standing ovation for our two newest reviewers: Smilie Button S2 and Playlist Kraze!! (claps avidly).
Smilie Button S2: Cool dud, thanks. I should see the guy who plays him. He's hot huh? I'm personally into the tall dark and handsome look, but I'm also quite partial to Draco too :D
Playlist Kraze: Thanks, I'm going to pretend I got all of your review, but seriously, thanks for putting time into it. It makes me feel really good to know people appreciate my humble fanfic.
Slytherin Luver: Thanks and you're welcome! I'll keep reviewing if you will!
PixieDreamer21: Haha Harry has bothered me since OOTP, so I felt it fitting to make him evil here. I agree, the difference between possessive and obsessive is a few letters, so I need to be careful about that!
NailPolishRemover: Yes. Tom is awesome like that. You are very lucky to have me as a friend! HAH! I liked the Angie having Fred's lovechild thing too…I thought it was ADORABLE!! Okay, I can see them not having favourites, but Fred and George def. Seem closest to Ginny. I realized that later in the fic I said George was her favourite brother, so I changed that. No more favourites!! I'm sorry! I keep forgetting there's only one 'o' in lose!!
Cheers! –iamthewalrus93
I lay down on the grass, and inhaled the clean air. It was nice when Harry, Ron and Hermione went out, so I could go outside. I wished that they would do it more often. I sat up suddenly when I heard a twig snap to my right. Had that been my imagination? No, there had definitely been a ruffle of grass. I jumped to my feet when a man appeared from behind a tree. I had no wand, no way to protect myself- Draco? The pale pointed face stared at me as if I was a mirage, and I'm sure I mirrored his expression exactly.
"Ginny?" He breathed.
"Yes, it's me. Draco?" He laughed quietly, and nodded. He hurried over to me, and steered me quickly to where he had appeared. Past the spells that hid the cottage from muggle eyes, I could see a bunch of death eaters. I heard whispers, and my name ran through the squadron.
"Ginny?"
"Is that her?"
"That's the Weasley girl, see her hair?" I looked between them, in a daze. Zabini pulled his mask off, hugged me, and then pointed me farther past them to another tree. I walked there slowly, feeling a full sense of vertigo. I looked around the tree, and my heart stopped. It was him. He had found me. I let out a little cry, and ran to him. He was in a long, dark trench coat with the collar flipped up from the chill. I wrapped my arms around him, and tried to reunite myself with everything that I had missed from the last month. His smell, the color of his eyes, the taste of his kisses… I sighed and pulled myself closer to him. I suddenly realized that he wasn't kissing me back. I took a step away from him and studied his face.
"What is it?" I asked him, and he closed his eyes. I put my hands on either side of his face. "Tom, what's wrong?" He opened his eyes again, and looked into mine.
"Thirty five days." I marveled at his voice, even when it was tinged with fury. "Thirty five days, he had you away from me." His eyes burned with hatred. "I want to kill him, Potter, I want him dead." I smiled up at him.
"What a surprise." His eyes snapped, and my smile faltered. "Lets not talk about him right now. I only want to think about you." I whispered. He let out a little cry, and swept me into his arms.
TTTTTTTTTTTT
I gazed at her, regretting every time I blinked. She was perfect in every way. I had missed her so much while she was gone. I still hated Potter, and I still planned to kill him, but I could tell that it bothered her, so I didn't talk to her about it. I traced her face with my eyes, as not to wake her. She was so calm in sleep, so delicate. I groaned, and stretched. I got out of bed and pulled open my cupboards. I took out one of my many white button downs, and black pants, and put them on. I sat on the end of the bed and carefully tied my shoes. She sighed, and opened her eyes to look down at me groggily. I stood to walk to the door, and her eyes followed me.
"Where are you going?" She asked quietly.
"I need to see Draco." I murmured. "Can you get some breakfast for us while I go?" She nodded, and I left the room. I walked briskly down the corridor, and knocked on Draco's door. "Malfoy, open up!" I called. There were noises of people moving quickly, and giggles. I gritted my teeth. I wanted him now. Draco pulled open the door, and I saw Adele still in bed. I glared at Draco. "I wanted you five minutes ago, Malfoy." He bowed to me, closed the door behind him and asked,
"What can I do for you, Tom?"
"Tell me everything you know about Harry Potter." Draco looked confused.
"Milord, I have already told you every thing I know."
"Where is he now? We found his hideout so where will he go?"
"I…I have no idea, milord."
"Where do you think?"
"I don't-"
"TELL ME!"
"I know." A quiet voice said from down the hall. Draco and I both turned to see Ginny standing there, looking pale. "I know where he'll go, Tom." I walked towards her, she looked frightened. "He'll go where he thinks is safe, because he thinks I won't tell you…"
"Where is it, love?" I asked her quietly, and kissed her temple. She shook her head from side to side.
"I knew this was coming…" She whispered. "I knew I'd have to choose…"
"Choose what?" I asked patiently. Her eyes focused on mine.
"Choose between you, and my family…" She whispered. I looked back to Draco as she buried her face in my chest, and we wrapped our arms around each other. He was pale too.
"Where will he be, Ginny?"
"At the burrow…" She breathed, and let out a dry sob.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
"Tom, be reasonable." I pleaded. "We can save some of them. They don't all need to die!" He shook his head.
"My men are surrounding it now." I glared at him, in shock really.
"So you're just going to storm in, and kill my entire family?" I demanded. He whirled to glare at me. We were in the ballroom with Draco and Adele.
"It that's what it takes."
"Can't we just not kill anyone?" I begged. "Tom, Harry doesn't need to die!"
"Yes he does!" He roared, and I cringed away from him. I cowered on the floor, and Tom stood over me, yelling fiercely. "He took you away from me! Thirty-five days! He made me watch, Ginny. I had to watch sometimes when he talked to you! He made it unbearable for me! That was worse than death, not having you! Why do you want to protect him? Do you still love him like you did when you were eleven?" my head was pressed to the stones at his feet. "Well?" He demanded. I looked up, my eyes brimming with tears.
"There is only you. There will only ever be you." I said fiercely. "Why do I need to keep telling you that? You already know it!" I looked up to his handsome face that was distorted with rage, and pleaded one last time, "Please, Tom. Don't hurt them." He crouched down in front of me, and ran his thumb over my cheek.
"Send them in Draco." He said, in a dead voice.
"No!" I cried. "Tom, if you love me, don't do this!"
"I love you will all of my heart. That's why I need to do this." He said, in that same dead voice. I shook my head.
"No. No, no, no." He shook his head back at me.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. I glared up at him through my tears, and ran. I ran down the corridors, and out the door. I ran down the lawns and out into the forest. I didn't plan to run away. Our bonds could never have taken that. I just ran past the first layer of trees, and sank to the forest floor. I heard the sound of someone pursuing me slowly, at a walking pace I guessed. Adele sank to the ground beside me, her back to the same tree.
"I'm sorry, Ginny." I sniffled in reply. "I couldn't bear being in there either. Draco left to go help." I let out a sob at the world 'help'. I stood suddenly.
"Give me your wand." I ordered her. She looked up at me, raising an eyebrow.
"You know the dark lord will torture me for this." She said.
"No he won't. He'll be too mad at me." I said, and held out my palm. She handed me her wand, and I disapparated.
