Chapter 14

"So what do you guys think?" Ginny asked Neville and Luna.

Neville glanced around the library. It was always deserted lately. "Are you serious Gin?" he asked.

"Of course I am!" she answered. "It worked great last time."

"Well I think it sound fantastic!" Luna grinned.

"Well," Neville hesitated, "I have missed the D.A."

"Right. We all have." Ginny said, "So why not bring it back? We can teach the spells just like Harry."

"Do you think we can pull it off?" he asked.

"Sure we can!" Luna said. "Ginny's fantastic with the bat bogey hex. I'd love to learn that!"

"And Neville, you were great with the disarming spell when Harry taught us."

"You're right, Gin. We can do this."

"So, you'll help then?" Ginny asked them hopefully.

"Of course! We'll gather whoever wants to join."


Ginny peered around the corner to check that nobody was in sight. It was so difficult to move in the castle since the Carrows took over. She shuddered as she moved around the corner toward the place where the Room of Requirements would appear. As she approached the wall, however, Ginny noticed that the door had already appeared.

Her hand slid into her robe and grasped her wand. She crept to the door and gently eased the door open. Peering inside, Ginny saw a small, intimately lit room. She peered over her shoulder once more, to be sure nobody had followed her, before slipping inside. As the door closed behind her, a voice spoke behind her.

"I knew you'd come eventually."

Ginny turned and saw the owner of the so familiar voice that so often haunted her dreams. Draco Malfoy stood before her, every bit as immaculate now as in those far away dreams.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "And why were you waiting for me?"

"I'm here because I knew you would come eventually. I've seen you pass this corridor numerous times in the past week. You've been watching, waiting to see when nobody would be around." Draco told her.

"You've been following me?" She accused.

"I've noticed you. And I was curious."

"Come off it Malfoy! You've been seeking me out and I want to know why!"

Draco looked taken back at her sudden outburst. "Do you not remember the days we spent together? In this very room?" he asked. "Do you not remember any of it?"

"Of course I remember it, Malfoy! I also remember you leading a group of Death Eaters past me last year! Right outside of this very room."

"You weren't supposed to be there. I told you to go to your common room." he pointed out. "Why do you think I used the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder? I didn't want them to see you. Aunt Bellatrix would have killed you all. And that werewolf, Fenrir. He'd have ripped out your throat."

"Yeah well he may not have gotten me but he got my brother Bill!" she glared. "He tried to attack Ron and me and Bill protected us. It nearly cost him his life, Malfoy! And you let him in!"

"I didn't know he was going to be here! I didn't want him here. I have friends in this school."

"Oh, yeah? Where are they then? Where are your friends now, Malfoy?" Ginny looked around mockingly. "I don't see any."

She turned her back to him. "Hey, are any of Malfoy's friends in here?" She called out to the empty room. Silence followed and she turned back to him. "You hear that Malfoy? Nothing! You have no friends in this school."

Draco's eyes were cold as steel and he backed her up against the wall. His hands were on either side of her, preventing him from moving. "Don't presume to know my life, Ginevra." he growled.

Something in her eyes flashed when he said her name. Her eyes grew wide as she realized everything she had just said to him. "Draco, I-."

"What, Weasley? You didn't mean it? You take it all back?" he snarled. "Do you really think I'll just let that go?"

Ginny gulped, finding it hard to breathe. What did he mean? What's he going to do now? Her thoughts rushed together and she became incapable of thinking about any more.

Draco's hands grasped her arms and he kissed her. His kiss was crushing, filled with the pain she had just caused him, as though to make her feel pain as well.

Ginny gasped when his nails dug into her arms. She could feel the pain pulsing from the points where his nails met her flesh. It was then that she realized she was no longer in control of anything. There was nothing she could do to give herself control again. Oddly, the sensation was exhilarating.

She was always so strong. Growing up with six brothers, being strong was necessary. There was never a moment when she got to be weak. Even with Harry, she had to be tough or else they would always treat her like a child. They were always so afraid that she would get into trouble again, like she did in her first year.

But now, here with Draco, she felt weak and it was strangely wonderful. She surrendered to him, giving him complete control.

Draco recognized what she was doing and growled. He bit her lip, forcing her to open her mouth. He deepened their kiss and grinned when he heard her moan. Then he released her and stepped back slightly.

He looked down into her eyes and was shocked to see a glimmer of lust in them. "Well, Ginevra. It seems we've finally agreed on something."

"W-what's that?" she stammered.

"I may not have friends in this school, but from now on, I have you." Draco said, his eyes daring her to disagree. "Whatever you're doing in this room, I don't want to know. But when I want you here, you'll come."

Ginny stood, staring at him. She could find nothing to say, nothing to do, only nod.
