Kapitel 78: CH 74: Ginny and New Target
{[Last Time in Tainted Desire]}
I immediately fed him a bottle of the draught of living death, and a couple of supplementary potions to purge any antidotes he might have already ingested.
I didn't want to kill him -mostly because Voldie would notice his death through the dark mark, therefore further complicating the issue- but I still would have preferred his death to his freedom.

Only after getting rid of everything he had in case he woke up, depriving him of the tools to get himself free, and storing him in a magically-expanded box I let out a relaxed sigh, my heartbeat calming slightly.
Despite the ease it had gone through, I was very aware that it was the most dangerous activity I had conducted since my reincarnation.
Snape was a very alert target due to his dangerous role as the double-spy, and only his trust in the previous owner of my body and my deep knowledge of his secrets allowing me to get a drop on him.
Still, that was required. Snape was too alert, and knew Draco too well for me to avoid his suspicions after the event on the train.
His replacement, unless Voldie decided to take the post himself, would be much easier to deal with.
Hogwarts was mine to take.
My task done, I took the secret tunnel once more and arrived at the station, and after the train arrived, I slipped into the train, waiting for the crowd the thin before stepping out.
The sudden silence that filled my surrounding, broken only by furious whispers and hesitant looks. Clearly, my achievements in the train had spread, renewing my reputation immediately.
I was lucky in a way, because the fight gave me an alibi about Snape's disappearance. No matter how unlikely it would have been me to get caught, impossible was still better than highly improbable.
I walked, enjoying the distant attention I received as I walked toward the carriage, expecting to have a few minutes to relax before the feast, when I caught the sight of Ginny Weasley, cornered by three Slytherin girls, all four with wands in their hands.
They were not hidden, but none of the students were brave enough to involve themselves for one of the most prominent enemies of the Dark Lord.
Another opportunity to steal something precious from the Weasley family, I realized. I had stolen William's wife, and Ron's girlfriend. The next target, the virginity of their precious daughter.
I walked toward them, earning their attention without a threatening move. Ginny's wand turned toward me, while the other girls kept theirs on Ginny, but with a significant tremble in their hands.
I could see two prefect badge on their chest, marking them as members of Nott's unlucky faction. Their reaction told me that they had heard me singlehandedly destroying their faction.
"Girls, would you mind giving me some privacy with Miss Weasley, I have some private matters to discuss." They looked reluctant, but their fear was stronger. They scampered.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Ginny asked, though she had the presence of mind to keep the volume down and her expression neutral.
"Nothing," I said with a dismissive shrug. "It was more about internal Slytherin matters rather than anything else. Providing you with little assistance was a little benefit. Take it as a freebie bonus."
"Yeah, right," Ginny answered, her derision to be expected considering her history with Draco.
"Believe what you will, Miss Weasley," I said as I started to walk away, then stopped and turned back. "Of course, you can always find me if you have a problem, and I can help you for a small price."
Despite the anger burning in her eyes, she managed to maintain a pleasant tone.
I had no doubt that the same offer would have earned curses any other time, but now, without Potter and Dumbledore, replaced by Carrows, the Gryffindors were more defenseless than ever, and for better and worse, as Potter's girlfriend -regardless of the absurd claim of being separated- had to take the role of a leader.
And as a leader, she didn't have the luxury of rejecting help without giving a thought, no matter her personal distaste. "And what would be the cost of your assistance?"
"Nothing much," I said, my smirk widening. "I just want to have a date with you."
"A date!" she whispered furiously, barely maintaining her composure enough not to shout. "How dare you, I am-" she continued before I cut her off.
"You are currently single," I said with a wide smile, reminding her that she was currently acting like she had broken up with Potter to get away from the attention, Ginny froze.
"Unless you're taking back your previous claim that your relationship with Potter was nothing more than a fleeting fancy. Because I can imagine quite a few people interested in that answer." Ginny gulped, but still angry.
"Don't worry, it's not a threat, but a statement. It's not my interest, and as long as you don't need my help, my interest in the subject is completely theoretical," I said, and before she could say anything else, I walked away.
Then, another familiar voice was heard when he stepped into an empty carriage. "That was an interesting situation," said a familiar voice. "First me, and now her. You're really stepping on the role of the white knight on Potter's absence."
"I try," I said as I turned to my gaze to the sole occupant on the carriage I presumed to be empty. "It's nice to see you again, Heir Greengrass. Would you mind if I took a seat?"
"Of course, and please call me Daphne," she said, casually giving me an allowance of closeness that she denied anyone else, including Draco of the past despite his constant badgering.
Still, even as she said that, I could see confusion in her eyes. It was obvious that she had thrown the comparison with Potter just to measure my response, expecting me to either brag pridefully or react in anger, and my dismissal took her in surprise.
"Only if you call me Draco," I answered. "After all, we're going to be neighbors," I said.
"Yes," she murmured, clearly remembering the last words I had said to Nott, but she chose not to push it, focusing on small talk instead. I obliged, filling the rest of the journey with mindless chatter.
I was going to live next door to her, after all. Hurrying would be pointless…
