Draco's gaze shifted from the wand to the person in front of him.

"Ginn?!" He said in his angry and terrified tone.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?" Ginn said.

There were many answers he could give. Something like: "Its none of your concern!" Or like: "What the hell are YOU doing here?" Or even: "How dare you?"

He preferred to speak with his eyes. And so it went.

In his mind, he repeated Narcissa's words one after the other: Don't be like your father... Don't be like your father... Don't be like your father...

Ginny was still standing. As George and Fred always said; She was like a raging bat.

Don't be like your father...

His own pause's reason maybe, but he didn't understand the reason for Ginny's pause.

Don't let them believe that we are here to be the bad guys in the story..

So as not to attract attention, he took out his wand from the back pocket of his pants. He knew that with the first move, Ginny would also react.

"Anything can happen"

"I can't! "In response to the commotion in his head, he shouted.

He immediately raised his wand. He took a step back. In the middle of sectum sempra's spell, which was the tip of his tongue, he felt the impact of Ginny's spell on his neck.

Ginn didn't say a word. Draco put two fingers on his neck. Maybe he only saw the golden spot of the spell for a moment that jumped towards him.

Now he only felt its presence in the artery of his neck. Like a spider's web under his skin. He was so blinded by the heat of the spell's impact point that he didn't notice Ginny's disappearance.

Probably no one would have noticed that he was pale in that situation. Draco could've moved. could've talked... He could've even cast spells. Fear had reduced his strength, but he could've. He was foolish to think that he was faster than Ginny.

It took a long time for Draco to notice Ginny was gone.

"Potter!"

Ginny had definitely gone to Potter. As he ran upstairs, he was cursing his distraction.

He should apparate.

It was getting late.

He knew he had to get to the top floor as soon as possible.

The house had an Anti-Apparition charm. Draco threw himself into Harry's room. It was late. Ginny was nowhere to be seen. Only Harry was standing in front of the window. Draco lowered his wand and stepped forward cautiously.

"Anything can happen" Potter always said this.

Now he was right next to Potter. He didn't seem to be under a spell. He followed Harry's gaze out the window. He saw Ginny getting away from the range of anti-apparation charm and disappeared a moment later.
