Chapter 20:The Secret


“Ron stop!! You’re killing him!” Ginny yelled coming out of nowhere. Ron stopped because Draco stopped breathing and was unconscious. “I couldn’t stop myself. If you hadn’t shown up when you did, I would have killed him.” Ron said not believing what he had done. “What the h*** were you thinking?!” Asked Ginny hysterically. “When I saw how much he had hurt you, I just lost it.” Ron explained. “Oh my God! Look at Draco. He’s not breathing. Draco? Draco? Can you hear me?” Ginny asked worriedly. “Ron, he looks really bad. We have to take him to the hospital wing.” Ginny said scared. “Ok.” Ron performed the spell for levitating. Draco’s limp body floated in the air. When they were going to the hospital wing, Ron looked back at his sister and saw the horror and worry in her face. Ron was feeling really guilty about what he had done. That’s the bad thing about betrayal, it make make people do some crazy things. When they finally got to the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey was able to fix Malfoy up good. He did have to stay the night. Ginny stayed by his side. Ron left and let Ginny stay with draco. “Draco, show me those beautiful blue eyes of yours.” Ginny demanded. Draco opened his eyes ever so slowly. “Ginny…I’m so...sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you. I don’t blame Ron for what he did to me. He had every right.” Draco said weakly. “Are you ok?” Ginny asked. “I’ll be fine. The question is, are you?” Draco replied. “No, I’m not. I just saw my brother going crazy. Plus, you just finished breaking my heart.” Ginny said as a single tear fell down her cheek. “I know how much I hurt you. You’ll never know how much I regret lying to you.” Draco confessed. “What do you mean? You lied to me?” Ginny asked. “I haven’t met anyone else. I still love you. I just broke up with you to protect you.” Draco said still alittle weak. “To protect me from who?” Ginny asked. “My father. He said that if I didn’t break up with you, he would kill you in your sleep. My father always keeps his word, so I knew he would kill you if I didn’t do what he wanted.” Draco said uncomfortabley. “Your father wanted to kill me? But why?” Ginny asked confused. “My father said you were poison to me. He said you were a disease that needed to be killed. He hates your family. I’m talking pure and utter hatred. He hates you most of all. He said that you corrupted me. That you turned me into a weak, pathetic excuse for a pureblood.” When Draco finished, Ginny had terror and anger in her eyes. “I can’t believe your father can hate me that much. I’m so sorry Draco.” Ginny said. “Why? Why would you be sorry?” Draco asked. “I’m sorry because Ron beat you up because of me. You were just trying to protect me. And I'm sorry because for the little time that passed when you broke up with me, I hated you.” Ginny confessed. “Don’t be sorry. I should have told you the truth. Can you ever forgive me?” Draco asked. “Of course. I forgive you. Please from now on, let’s be completely honest with eachother.” Ginny replied. “Ok. There’s something else you should know then.” Draco said uneasily. “What is it?” Asked Ginny. “My father…he...he beats me. He beats the living daylight out of me. Not just me, my mother too. Sometimes he’ll beat me for no reason at all. Most of the time, he would beat me because of you.” Draco said uneasily. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry Draco. I should have known. How could I not have known? All the signs were there. You didn’t like to be touched. I’m so sorry Draco.” Ginny said as tears filled her eyes. She went to give Draco a hug, but he stopped her. “Look.” Said Draco as he lifted up his shirt to reveal a nasty, huge black and blue. “Your father did that? Does it still hurt?” Asked Ginny. “Yeah. Well, now you know my secret. Does this change anything?” Draco asked. “Of course it does. I still love you, but knowing you were getting hurt because of me is to hard to think about.” Ginny said as tears continued to fall down her face. “It was worth getting beaten up to be able to kiss those sweet lips of yours. If I had to do it all over again, I would do the same thing as before only I would have been honest with you. I love you so much. I’ve never cared so much about someone before. I had a wall around my heart to protect me, but you tore it down. I will always be grateful for that.” Draco said with a smile on his once bruised face. "I'm not going to let you're father win. I won't let him tear us apart." Said Ginny bravely. "Then I won't either." Said Draco. Then they shared a real, passionate kiss that was filled with so much love. Ginny stayed with Draco for the rest of the night.

Hope u enjoy this.
