Inside his grey eyes

Chapter 5: The way back Pt.1

The next day at the manor of doom, as it was called by the whole society was more awful than the last one. Draco was really exhausted from the last night, he hadn’t slept at all, and he only allowed himself some seconds of rest. The anxious and the awkward feeling he could have tomorrow at the school would destroy his whole rest life. Since the war he never had walked to Hogwarts again. The Deatheaters must destroyed almost everything in the main campus building and the surrounding ones, like the Owls stay and the greenhouse, not to mention the quidditch pitch which was one of the favourite place to him.

Aaron, the Auror from last night unlocked the door of the room and walked in to him with his always all-known, arrogant attitude “get up and get dres-“ he stopped as looked at the blond boy who was already dressed and ready to leave “let’s make it quick, not that I am happy about leaving the one prison to get to the next one..” he pointed and then pulled up the one side of his trousers and the link to the silver chain he had around of his ankle appeared. “I can’t follow you if I am tied now, can I?” he smirked once with his smart comment and the Auror looked annoyed at him, “whatever, smart mouth! You won’t be able to have many smart comments from now on! You will be followed everywhere and you will have your own personal room, you can’t live with anyone, we won’t let you harm anyone, you Deatheater!” the mention of the –deatheater- part hissed from the aurors mouth and made Draco to shiver. He wasn’t, that was his crime always, he never had a choice and was always something he had never chose but who would listen to him? None… he knew it now. He would always be an outcast and to be honest he didn’t care. He was tired of people who always came closer to him because they wanted something from him or even use him. Aaron interrupted all the thoughts of the boy as the cold chain was broken with a spell, and the metallic sound echoed in the room. “Enjoy your –freedom- for now boy, it won’t be for long.” He said as he moved Draco’s wand on the air and gave it to him “you’re been tracked, any spell and you will receive a present!” Draco rolled his eyes and mumbled “One-way ticket to…” he didn’t finish the sentence and the Auror smirked “to Askaban” he laughed evilly “and trust me I will be the one that will bring you there that is the only thing for sure, now move, you have 5 minutes” he ordered and left Draco alone in the room.

He closed his eyes and shivered as the thought of Dementors be close to him, kissing him, taking away his soul. The thought was stuck in his mind again; he needed to take it off, now! Before he will totally freak out. He ran to the desk and grabbed out one of his notebook, the one he had for drawing, he opened the page and for several minutes he was starring at the one he had drawn. The expression was calmer but suddenly his face tightens and he groaned. He closed the notebook hard and put it on his suitcase, then he picked it up and without a second look on the room he walked off and closed the door behind him hard.

Narcissa saw him and hugged him tightly “you will be fine, you are strong, I know it. Never give up” she whispered to his ear and hold on him for some seconds. His father wasn’t allowed to touch him he only gave him a proud strong look “Be well son” he said to him serious and the young man nodded in return, then he took his bags and walked out of the house without looking even a second back. The way to king cross station would be one of the hardest trips he would ever have in his life. A trip full of shame and shattered pride. The Aurors grabbed him tight and apparated inside the train, to the very last wagon of the train “the trip will start in 1 hour, do not come out!” Akiza, a japanese female auror announced to him and they walked out of the wagon. Draco sighed; lay his head back on the sit of the couch and fall asleep.

Noises and happy shouts echoing in the station. The Weasley family with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were running to the halls of the station, going to the portkey. “Hurry up everyone!” Ginny yelled to the others who were behind her, she was running more quick than anyone, she was really anxious and nervous for something, everyone who knew her could say that, but Ginny refused it since yesterday. “Come on! We will lose the train!” Ron groaned and yelled “look how anxious she is to go to school, you are nuts sister! NUTS!” Suddenly a book was placed in his head hard “she is your sister talk nicer” Hermione’s voice sounded strictly and looked at her boyfriend. “Sorry...” Ron said to her as they were running and then turned to Harry and they both started laughing hard and they followed Ginny’s path, who actually Ginny was gone, had already pass through the wall.

Harry and Ron and Hermione, when they passed through, they drew all the looks on them. But of course they would, the golden trio! The heroes of the magical society were out in the public and ready to answer questions now to their fellows student. Ginny groaned annoyed as everyone approached. Girls screaming Harry’s name and talking to him, drove her a bit crazy but those type of girls always annoyed her the most. Akiza, Aaron and another Auror man named Caleb approached the pack and started talking to them. That drew Ginny’s attention. Her heart started raising her heart beats and turned to face them. She was happy that her friends were there talking with them, now she could slipped away.

She took Harry’s clock of invisibility and left the crowed, walked toward to the train, she opened the clock but before she wore it she saw Luna. “Luna!” she gasped and Luna smiled to her “hello Ginny, are you okay?” she asked with a calm smile “Yes, I am good” Ginny said and then quickly told to her “Luna, please don’t say you saw me! Please!” Luna smiled more and then walked away pretending she never stopped and talked to Ginny. Luna knew more than all the others but she was a really good girl, she never talked or gave someone away. Ginny took a deep breath and got in the train. She passed all the wagons looking around for something. Then she found it! The door to the last wagon. Her heart was beating quicker than ever when she opened and walked in. Her breath stopped immediately as she faced the figure.

He was sleeping, for many months he couldn’t because he knew he was watched but now he was alone, he was in gone, in his uninterrupted sleep. No dreams, no nightmares, only time for him to rest. His face was pale as usual but his expression was tired, more than usual. He was lying there; completely unprotected and unable to do anything or at least that was what he looked like. Ginny approached him and knelt on his side. She was staring at him; her eyes couldn’t leave his face. She stayed for a long time only to looking at him. Then she raised her hand and made the move to touch his face. When she touched Draco opened his eyes quickly and grabbed his wand tightly and quickly grabbed her from the neck and pulled her down on him and pointed his wand on her, then his eyes were widen in surprised. Why the hell Ginny Weasley was there?!

Ginny’s eyes got shocked and scared a bit but she didn’t shout, she stayed there without even moving. She only looked inside his eyes with hers chocolate ones. Her heart was beating more and her face was blushed. They stayed there without talking at all.

Draco moved his fingers at her neck somehow gently, she took a small, deep breath in and then she let it out. Before Draco was really wrapped by her chocolate brown eyes which weren’t scared anymore, his eyes became cold again and the glance he gave to her was really one of the chilliest he had ever gave. He pushed her hard on the ground, Ginny groaned as her hair fall on her face, covering her, messing more than they already were “Get out!” he shouted and pointed the wand on her “LEAVE!”

Ginny looked at him terrified, she opened her mouth to talk but she was interrupted “Not a WORD Weasley! BEGONE!” He said angry to her as he turned his back to her and looked outside. Ginny tried to speak one more time but then “Ginny!?” Harry echoed in the train, he was looking at her. Ginny looked at the door and then she left quickly as she gave another look on Draco’s figure. She closed the door behind her the time she stepped out of the wagon but she heard that something broke inside the room, like a window or something “Ginny?!” Harry and Hermione that time sounded. She left running to go and meet them. If she was found there not only her but even Draco would have a huge problem. “I am here!” she said and Harry pulled her into his arms “Where were you? You scared us” he said smiling on her relieved and kissed her lips once “are you okay? You look upset…” Harry pointed. She left from his arms and forced a small smile “I’m fine, let’s move” she moved away quickly, of course she wasn’t okay; Malfoy had never scared her like that before.
