Stalker

Chapter 15

"Oh my God, Ginny, what are you doing here?" I asked in complete shock.

"I watched him take you, I had to wait until he left. I couldn't let him hurt you." Ginny said as she began to try and undo the restraints that bound me to the bed.

"You're a little late for that." I said trying not to sound at all ungrateful.

"I can see that." Ginny said and she sounded upset by that fact. She finished undoing the restraints and I sat up as she rushed out the room before coming back with a cloth and a bowl of water. "Here, let me have a look at your forehead."

"I'd rather just get out of here." I said trying to swat her away as she tried to dab at my forehead with the damp cloth.

"You can't leave looking like that." Ginny said, cleaning the blood off my temples and neck. She was getting a little close for comfort.

"Ginny, what are you doing?"

"I'm cleaning you up." She said getting extremely close, I could feel her breath on my skin.

"Stop it Ginny, let's just get out of here." I said a little more forcefully.

"But if we leave here you'll go back to him, I want you to stay with me." Ginny said.

"Ginny, it doesn't work that way, I think you're gorgeous but I'm gay." I said trying to sound as gentle as possible.

"You really think I'm gorgeous?" She asked, "See this can work between us."

"Ginny, it can't work. I like guys. I love Draco, I'm going to marry him. I'm sorry Ginny, you really are a great girl, you will find someone one day but I'm not that guy." I said to her gentle but instead of backing off upset she kissed me.

It took me by complete surprise, two seconds into the kiss I backed off. She looked upset now. "Come on, let's get out of this place." I said but Ginny was crying.

"How can you not want me, I've wanted you since I started at Hogwarts. I can't believe you don't feel the same." She said through her tears.

"I can't believe you sent me all those gifts."

"I didn't send you any gifts."

"You didn't?"

"No, I mean, I wanted to but I don't have the money."

"Then who did?" I asked and Ginny shrugged. "Come on, let's go."

"You're not going anywhere." A third voice said from the doorway. We both turned around to see that we had be joined by Blaise.

Apparently we'd lingered here too long. Blaise had returned and was carrying plastic bags full of I don't know what. I didn't want to think what he had picked up at the shops. Knowing his twisted mind it wasn't something pleasant.

"You stay away from my Harry!" Ginny said and this was one occasion that I wasn't going to argue with her on that point. I didn't want her to be pissed off at me, we were better together when it came to facing off against Blaise. Though I wasn't sure how to approach the situation now that there were two psychopathic stalkers in the same room.

"He has to die, if he's alive my Draco won't love me. I have to kill him otherwise I'll never be with Draco." Blaise said in return, his voice held such a determination, such force. He knew exactly what he wanted and what he thought he had to do to get it.

"If you come near Harry then you have to go through me!" Ginny said, clearly there was a violent streak that ran in the Weasley family. She looked pretty fierce to me and I wasn't the one she was angry at.

I was lost for words. I didn't know what to do or what to say so I just stood there as Blaise started to laugh. "Go through you?" He questioned laughing uncontrollably. "You're just a little girl, what can you do to me?" Blaise asked as he brought out his trusty knife.

Before I could blink Ginny charged at him in a fit of rage. There was no way I could have stopped her, before I'd even realised that she was gone she was on top of him. The two of them moving so fast as they grappled with one another that they seemed to be blurs of movement and flashes of silver.

Panicked, I looked around. I didn't want to try and get between them to stop them because one of them wanted to kill me and the other was madly in love with me, emphasis on the madly. There was no sign of a phone anywhere which maybe emphasised how lucky I was feeling at the moment.

Behind me someone screamed, I couldn't tell if it was Blaise or Ginny but when I spun around to see what was happening it was a horrific sight. Ginny had her hands around Blaise's head and her thumbs digging into his eyes. In defence of her brutal attack he was stabbing her over and over in the side.

I could see the strength failing in Ginny as I watched the knife slid into her side for the fourth time. Unable to think I ran into the adjacent room. Thankfully there was a phone, first I called the police and an ambulance, telling the operator what had just happened.

Once the operator had confirmed that both the police and an ambulance were on their way I called Draco. He answered his mobile sounding frantic. I told him what had happened too, funnily enough he didn't need to be told where I was, he already knew where Blaise lived. He told me that he too would be right over.

The paramedics arrived first. Ginny was still alive but barely, Blaise too had a pulse and they were both taken away in separate ambulances. The paramedics then checked me over, they declared that a part of my brand new lightning bolt shaped scar on my forehead there was nothing wrong with me.

I was deemed okay to not have to go to the hospital thankfully, the police arrived shortly after the paramedics, they asked a lot of questions and check up on the fact that both Draco and I had reported stalker like behaviour to them recently.

They seemed to believe everything I said and once my story checked out they stopped treating me like a suspect and finally I was able to see Draco. At first we didn't say anything we just held one another.

"What did he do to you?" Draco asked when we finally broke apart and he saw the still throbbing cut on my forehead.

"This, this is nothing compared to what he was going to do. If Ginny hadn't been following me then it would have been a lot worse." I said to him.

"Was she the one sending all those gifts to you?" Draco asked and I shook my head in response.

"Apparently not, that is still a mystery." I said before hugging him again.

"What happened to Ginny and Blaise, where are they?" Draco asked me.

"Well Ginny effectively blinded Blaise and well Blaise stabbed her quite a few times, they were both alive when the paramedics arrived so they were both taken away to hospital."

"Well I hope Blaise dies, it'll be a lot easier for all of us that way but I don't think the Weasley family could handle anymore death. I hope Ginny pulls through, even if she is obsessed with you."

"I know what you mean." I said.

When we were allowed to leave Draco took me back to my place, being in my room was odd after Blaise had taken me from there only hours before. It didn't feel right that he had been able to gain access and take me while I was in my most vulnerable state.

Both Sirius and Remus promised that I could redecorate and refurnish my entire room on their tab if it made me feel better and I said that it would. I wanted an entirely new feeling to my room so that I could put everything behind me.

I even wanted to start afresh in my relationship with Draco especially considering the fact that I had lost my ring to Blaise. Besides that the beautiful and expensive rings that he had bought for us were now tarnished because Blaise had worn mine.

Draco fully understood of course and said that we could go shopping for new ones before we set a date for the wedding. Of course there would be a wedding and Sirius and Remus had finally given their permission and were content to let us wed whenever we wanted.

Of course Lucius and Narcissa were thrilled about the whole thing. I couldn't wait to start my new life with Draco. However there was still the mystery of who had been sending the gifts to me if it hadn't been Ginny.

Following my hunch after a couple hours of extensive research I went back to Severus' house alone. Draco wouldn't have liked it but I needed to know and I knew he would just get defensive if he had come along with me. I knocked on his front door and waited patiently for him to open it.

When he did he didn't look like the Professor I'd known and loved. Of course he invited me in but there was no offer of a cup of tea.

"How can I help you?" Severus asked me as he eyed me up and down, my scar did not escape his attention.

"I need you to stop sending me gifts Severus." I said to him bluntly.

"I'm trying to show you how much I care for you." He retorted.

"I know but I love Draco, we're going to be married. It's always been him Severus."

"I wanted to show you that you had other choices, it doesn't have to just be him." He said determinedly. "Go on one date with me, I'll show you how good it can be."

"I appreciate that but it isn't going to happen. When we kissed it just didn't feel right. I was in a bad place and even though I didn't think Draco and I were together I still only wanted him." I explained, "It isn't meant to happen between us."

"I'm not going away Harry, I'll always be here, there isn't anyone else for me."

"I know you knew my parents before they died." I said, "I found some old photos of you all together and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that you had feelings for my dad." Severus said nothing, "I'm not my dad and I never will be. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't change anything." He said, "I did have feelings for your dad but that means nothing when it comes to you. It isn't about you looking like him, in the beginning it might have been but then I spent time with you, tutored you. You're an amazing person Harry and you're nothing like James."

"I know all of that Severus. I care about you but not in that way."

"I'll wait for you Harry, I'll wait until you realise that Draco isn't right for you."

"Then you'll be waiting a long time." I replied and then I turned to go and let myself out. I hoped that I had sorted out the gift sending and now I knew where to send them back to if I received anymore.

Over the next few weeks we discovered that Blaise had died in hospital, the injuries Ginny had caused to his eyes and his brain was too severe. Ginny however, despite all odds survived as Blaise in his manic desperation to survive hadn't punctured any major organs and the damage had been repairable.

None of us visited her in the hospital, Draco and Hermione had no reason to and I didn't want to encourage her behaviour. The police had warned her off of following me and issued a restraining order so that she could be arrested if she went anywhere near me.

Draco and I set the date for the wedding for the summer between our A-level years, deciding that a expensive summer wedding at Malfoy Manor would be perfect for us. It was nice to be able to do this while not worrying about Stalkers and murderers and unwanted attention. Apart of course from the media who had deemed us the most popular celebrity couple of the moment.

Hermione's due date was set for February and she planned to study right up to the birth even though the midwife had warned her about stress levels and the risk of a premature labour which was likely as she was having twins.

She also happily informed us that it looked like she was having a boy and a girl, though she still hadn't thought of names yet. She and Victor had hit it off spectacularly and even he was looking forward to seeing the children for the first time.

I was ecstatic that finally things were going right for us all. It seemed that we deserved a bit of happiness in our lives considering everything that had happened to us.

Okay this is the end of Stalker but there is a third instalment coming up plus as an added bonus for all of you lovely people who are reading my stories there will be an extra story which will just be Harry and Draco's wedding as I know some of you were looking forward to seeing that.
