Throughout Infinity

****

Draco laid back as Percy punched him in every imaginable spot, that he could reach him without moving off Draco's arms. Draco closed his eyes as Ginny's cries filled the room. Of course, She can't help. It's against the way she is. No one must know about her and me. Oh I want to tell the world damnit! It's not fair.

Draco gave a weak moan as Percy lifted him up and threw him hard against the wall. Draco opened his left eye as the warm goo of his blood ran over his other eye. The horrified look on Ginny's face made him crack. He opened his mouth, "Ginny help me..." Percy didn't hear his weak voice as he beat him with all his strength against the wall in heated rage.

Ginny gave a blood-curling scream, "YOU'RE KILLING HIM! STOP IT!" Percy suddenly stopped and turned white at the sight of Draco's blood coming from somewhere under his silver white hair. The floor rushed up at Draco as Percy let him go. Ginny was tearing her eyes out as she told Percy to go to Dumbledore and get his business done. He soon left and by then the golden scabbard healed Draco entirely and he was left with an empty ache from the recent pain.

Ginny was bent over Draco uttering soothing charms over him when he spoke, "I need a bath Gin. Can I borrow your room?" She nodded and disappeared into a closet. Draco disrobed entirely and stood naked waiting for Ginny to turn around. She gave a squeak of shock and nearly dropped her bath items. He was there by her side instantly to pick up the basket she almost dropped, "Love be careful. I wanted to know if you could fix and clean my clothes?" She nodded turning a soft shade of pink.

Draco took the basket and disappeared before she knew what happened.

---

Ginny had stood in the mirror good half-hour while Draco bathed looking at her bear body ashamed of herself, Look at me! My body is so imperfect. I'm to skinny and too white. My hips are very un-curved; I could fatten up these skinny thighs. Although she did get a glimpse at her body before her meld with Stallion, then she had had a simple body that still resembled that of a ten-year-old. My fiery hair is probably the only thing that keeps his attention on me.

Ginny slipped on a thin silk robe Hermione had given as her being a Perfect for the first time gift. The fire red color to it was amazing and made Ginny look like a star. Poor Hermione, because of me she almost killed Harry. Dumbledore wasn't the last one to know the power of linking. I guess I just didn't have enough power for Tom to gain control of my body so he latched on to Hermione. Spreading the rude evil manners he had gained to her, the lust to kill, that gave him more power. I'm so glad she's back to normal. I really missed the old Hermione.

"You look beautiful." A husky voice breathed into her ear. Ginny jumped up at the startling handsome image of Draco, the wet, Malfoy standing behind her. She could see a faint hint of love in his cold gray eyes. He was smiling softly winding his arms around her waist.

She turned around smiling at him, "Hey, I managed to fix your clothes. I cleaned all that blood off and mended the tears." She leaned in and laid her head against his shoulder. He gave a content sigh and began to kiss Ginny's hair. She gave a soft sighed and met his lips with her own.

Just as his hand snaked up her robe and began to caress her collarbone and slowly fall lower a hiss reached their ears. Ginny pulled away from Draco and looked at a brown cat standing tall and angry. "What the?" Draco muttered as the cat began to grow. Ginny gave a squeak realizing it was Colin who now stood before them completely robed and angry.

Ginny was scared, "Colin please don't tell anyone." Colin frowned at her and nodded. She could practically hear him saying it, 'I won't tell anyone. Just remember I no longer want to know you.' She instantly broke into tears after Colin left the room. Draco held her tightly angry with himself that he ruined a friendship Ginny held so dear.

Pushing Ginny softly away he re-robed and gave Ginny a soft good-bye kiss and met up with Colin outside in the hallway. He stood with an contained angry face at him, "She's your cousin, how dare you seduce her. Pansy not enough arse for you?"

Draco was infuriated, "How dare you think of comparing Ginny to Pansy! You bastard is that all she is to you a piece of pussy? For your information I love her with all my being. I don't care if she's my damned cousin! Don't you get it that doesn't matter! Colin did you ever once love Ginny for who she is not how pretty she is?"

Colin didn't get put down Draco by Draco's insult and his confusion fueled his anger. Colin just frowned, "Of course I love Ginny, To think Malfoy you can't get your own girlfriend you have to steal mine. I don't want your dirty Slytherin hands on my girl!" Draco could feel the dragon rage rising inside him.

He was trembling with the burning heat of the dragon, "Colin, stop it. Ginny isn't your property, please stop. You don't know what you're doing." Draco could feel his muscles burning to grow.

Colin just laughed, "Anger makes people do strange things. You just stay away from her." Draco fell back as Colin pushed him. Draco snarled out in pain as his transformation took over and his skin ripped away to scales and green skin. His robes tightened and tore. He couldn't control himself anymore and broke through the wall into a classroom. Plunging through that wall, then he fell to the floor and scampered off completely transformed trampling into the Dark Forest and near Hogsmeade.

Ron, finally figuring out how to work a camera, created a yellow gold spot. He had enchanted the corner with weak magic so the Ministry could not trace him here in America. Falsaya stood in a sparkling silver dress twisting a cloth between her hands. Ron laughed pulling the camera up to his face to start taking snap shots.

Ron looked at her tense face through the camera. Are you listening? He could already feel her compliment before she nodded. Relax. Walk back and forth, yeah that's it, Ron smiled, sway those hips. Put a little jazz in that walk. All right now smile and if your worried about your scar, even if your hair's covering it, just don't show me that side of your face.

Falsaya was soon kissing to the camera as Ron went wild with pictures. She began to laugh when Ron ran out of film and could not figure out how to open the camera. "Here let me help." She smiled taking the camera from him.

He sighed; Its times like this I miss Rica. Falsaya looked at him as if to say, 'Who's Rica?' She's my fiancée. I'll marry her when I go back home. Another though poked into his mind; I left because I couldn't take it. I didn't feel like me anymore. I don't know if I ever will. He thought back to when he hit Percy. Pain racked his heart and he held back a sob.

Falsaya again began to wobble, "Ron... stop you're hurting me."

He looked up at his dazed friend with regret, "I'm sorry. I'm going go take this to get developed; I'll have cooled down then. Bye." She looked at him sternly. Ron nodded, "Right, I don't know where the local photo development store is. Get changed and we can go together." Falsaya giggled happily like the sixteen-year-old girl she was and disappeared upstairs.

<You knew it would happen. Being adopted by you would only make the curse stronger. You are a muggle-loving bastard. Only good things come from you. I am not good. I was cursed to be bad. My damned muggle father made me like this. I was conceived in false love. Dumbledore there is NOTHING you can do to change me.

You can't beat me but your children; I'm sure will. They will beat me because I will hunt them and force them to get better so that they can kill me and put me out of my misery. I curse you now, but you must remember on thing, Your curse can be lifted so don't fret, I do want you to have children you know, I will be forever cursed my soul and any copy of it will carry this unholy curse. Yes Dumbledore your little son-want-to-be is forever cursed.

I'll miss you dad you know that, don't you. You taught me everything I know and I taught you everything I learned. I'll miss you truly. Good by Albus Dumbledore I am no longer your son. We are enemies now. Tom concluded walking backwards away from the transforming Dumbledore.

Dumbledore gasped lookup up at him with confusion as his skin smoothed and he regained his slivery white locks. His beard was gone and he was young. He reached for Tom whom instantly turned and ran. Dumbledore was shaking with pain, Good bye. >

Fawkes floated back into Dumbledore's office, I'm afraid it too late. Draco was already charging away from Colin in a fit of Animagus transformations. The poor boy was seen running across the clearings of Hogsmeade. They'll be sure to send a group of dragon caretakers and then they will find out he is an Illegal Animagus. What shall you do now Albus?

Dumbledore looked upon the great bird as he leaned back into his chair, "Sit and watch."

"My those are very good, do you photography for a living?" A woman said peering over Ron's shoulders.

Ron looked at the pretty old woman and smiled, "No, But if you would like for me to photography you I will. Would you like to talk about it?" The woman nodded her black ponytail up in a red bow. I think this will be fun. I think I might have an eye for this. Yeah sure, I can do it.

Falsaya stood by Ron's side in case he couldn't understand the woman's referral to some muggle terms. Ron smiled at her and they walked off down an isle with the woman.

---

The woman stood in front of Ron with a red sweater, choker, and expertly rips jeans. "Mr. Weasley, I'd like to see if you can make this outfit on me look good." Ron took a moment to look over the woman and nodded disappearing into the next room to conjure up low magic sets. Falsaya brought the woman in just as Ron finished casting lighting magic. The woman squinted looking up at the spheres of light, a muggle, of course, saw lights hanging from the ceiling. "I thought you said you haven't done this professionally before." The woman said looking baffled at him.

Falsaya was glaring at the woman. "Well Ms. Merriam this is my house and this happens to be my studio that I allowed Ron to use." The Ms. Merriam smiled and stood where Ron told her. Ron, She's hiding something. Falsaya thought. He glanced quickly at her then back to Ms. Merriam. He took quick precise shots as he thought with Falsaya.

When Ms. Merriam was again properly dress she looked at Ron waved a few hundreds in his face and said, "I think this should cover all the feeds." Ron went pale with confusion as Falsaya flung her astonishment at his payment to him. Ms. Merriam smiled, "I'll come back for these tomorrow."

Ron looked at Falsaya and thought happily, I like this job! It's nothing like the Ministry! It's better! Do you think people will want to do this? Ron quickly ran after Ms. Merriam who was walking out the glass door. "Ms. Merriam! Ms. Merriam, please wait. I was wondering if you could please spread the word. Do you think more people would enjoy this? You know spend money on this?"

Ms. Merriam smiled, "Why of course Mr. Weasley. I'll tell some of my clients to come here to cool off. You are a VERY good photographer, easy to work with. If your photographs of me in casual clothes cut the cake you will be great. Good day to you Mr. Weasley."

Ron watched her walk up the sidewalk to the corner and hop into a shinny black BMW. She waved to Ron quickly and pulled into the city square's street and disappeared down the road. She reminds you of Rica, doesn't she, Ron's conscience bickered to him, and you should go back. She's probably worried sick. Ron spoke back to himself, "I will."

Ginny collapsed to sleep after finding out Draco was now known to be an illegal Animagus. She had picked up the sleeping potion and over dosed on it purposely hoping to be asleep for a good while to regain all the energy that the events around her had taken away.

There was black everywhere, A dreamless sleep. She told herself. She sat down in the dark closed her eyes and thought, How long has it been since I have dreamt alone. I think I can no longer dream by myself. Her mind counter, apparently with Stallion's strength, Of course you can! You are one of the strongest people alive. Force the dreams to happen!

Ginny concentrated hard and thought of a long green meadow. She slowly filled up the dream plain with tree and clouds, rows or flowers here or there. Finally satisfied with what she had dreamt up she walked into a path between the trees that lead to a small pond. There she imagined Draco bathing without a care in the world. I'm a naughty one. How long have I really like him? I mean I couldn't have like Harry that long. I know I'd always get a spark of something when I crossed paths with Draco. I suppose I didn't know I loved him then. Maybe, just maybe, my love for him was developing from a crush.

"Hello Ginny," Dream Draco smiled at her, "care to join me?" She smiled inwardly and disrobed. She was rather disappointed that in a real dream she couldn't feel like she could in a dream link. The water had now temperature, no feel, and no smell. The air around her blew but she did not feel it. Even when Draco took her into a hardy kiss and hug she could not feel it.

"Draco," She said, "how long have you like me?" The Dream Draco seemed baffled all of a suddenly. Ginny knew it was because a Draco she had herself made could not answer something she herself did not know. He tilted his head as if waiting for her to tell him so he, in return, could tell it to her from his own lips.

Suddenly as Draco was there he was not and she fell forward into the shivering cold water. Gasping as she came back up a voice called out to her, "Hoping to get a thrill from a fake me?" She spun around madly to be granted with the sight of a happy smiling Draco with his half shadow of the always stern unreadable face.

She rolled her eyes flipping back her red hair, "Damn you, Just smile... I can't stand seeing your fake emotion and your real one. Two faces is too much!" Draco seemed to frown but suddenly the emotion was gone and Ginny could only see one Malfoy, One face, that face was smiling.

"Fine. May I join you in your splendor?" Draco smiled coyly as he began to walk into the water. She felt the shiver of sudden excitement, Draco always did this to her but it seemed more of a foreboding shiver then one of excitement, she couldn't figure it out. Draco was up against her in all his wet clothes slick mouth amazement and she was indeed enjoying it all.

Suddenly in a rush of white light two other people stood on the water's edge. Ginny screamed at the sight of her brother and a platinum red haired girl behind him. Draco felt the strange presence and turned too. "Oh my God! Ron is that your sister? Her boyfriend is hot! Wonder what he looks like with his clothes off!" The girl squeaked.

Ron's eyes narrowed, "Ginny, Step out from behind Malfoy." God don't let her be doing what I think she's doing! Please let him be just a fake illusion. Merlin please let him not be real! I'll give all my wizard power for him just to be fake.

Draco held a possessive arm out and blocked Ginny from moving, "She doesn't have to. You already know what she looks like. Who is that?" Ron sighed as he noted no mind had controlled Draco, He was there and he was...

Ron charged full speed at him, "YOU BASTARD! It wasn't enough that you were the Child of the Dragon! It wasn't enough that Harry became your friend! It wasn't enough that you were the richest bastard Hogwarts has even seen! It wasn't enough that you had to become my cousin; YOU ALSO STOLE MY INDIVIDUALITY!"

Ginny stumbled back suddenly feel very strange. Everything was slowing down and the images seemed to blur and expand. Ron stopped shouting to Ginny's relief as everything began to get dark. Again she was thrown into a world of black but this times the disembodied voices shouted to her. Ginny wake up! Don't die. Ginny be strong for me, I need you. Pusforciem! Of all the stupid things Ginny. She's my sister you have no say in this! Pusforciem! She's my cousin I have every say in this. We're cousins? Pusforciem! Pay attention to Ginny! Damn you why did you do this. PUSFORCIEM!

Ginny screamed as the pushing increased on her chest. WAKE UP DAMN YOU! PUSFORCIEM! There was explosion of colors as Ginny opened her eyes. Blinking away the light she found she was back in her room. There before her was a red face Colin. He spoke with anger in his voice, "How could you do this? What made you drink that entire sleep drought potion! Do you know you put your body to sleep? I came here just when your heart stopped!"

Ginny shivered with realization, I almost killed my self? Oh my God. What would mother have done? Her only daughter die of a potion overdose. What kind of Head Girl am I? What would the students think? "Colin, I owe you my life. Thank you. What can I do to repay you?" Colin looked at her eyes gleaming, Something isn't right? Why can't I hear what Colin is thinking?

Colin nodded, "I will have you repay your debt in full if you just met a friend of mine." He took her hand gently, whispering warming charm he brought the color back to her skin. Suddenly caught up in the moment Ginny reached out and kissed Colin. She couldn't stop, Colin groaned enjoying this kiss, To back she doesn't have death experiences like this all the time or I'd get laid.

Ginny pulled away for air, "Oh Draco..." She opened her eyes quickly realizing what she had said, "Oh Colin I'm sorry... I didn't mean to." He just shrugged and smiled. He pulled her off her bed and out the door. She stood looking down with the ground from the North Tower. Colin stood by her side as the wind whipped at her hair.

Ginny gasped as Colin pushed her against the castle wall forcing his tongue down her throat. She tried to protest but something jabbed her in her pouch by her side. The ORB! Colin kicked Colin away. With a tone she hadn't meant to use she hissed, "I'll be right back!" Jumping on the edge of the wall she tossed herself over. She should vaguely hear Colin screaming something but her body was concentrating on turning into a red dragon.

She opened her eyes and suddenly fear pumped into her; she wasn't changing fast enough. By the fires of Hell why can't I change? She gave an ear splitting roar as she was covered in fires. The fires licked quickly at her skin and as she hit the ground trees trembled under her massive weight. The pouch, with an elastic charm on it, did not break and now hung tightly to her neck. She groggily got up and felt terribly cold. The tree lingered below her and she laughed happily, I'm alive! I'm a dragon! Now to get rid of this orb half. I promised Draco I would do it.

Charlie glared at the desk before him covered in papers and dragon photo. Snarling he punched the desk, "How could Draco be so careless! He's an Illegal Animagus the bastard! Why didn't he register? Couldn't he be a remodel to Ginny! The poor girl, looking up to yet another rule-breaking relative. Fred and George are only too funny. Draco over does it by breaking the law!" He sighed leaning back into his chair remember what he and his group of Dragon Keepers came up against.

<"Bugger! This dragon sure puts up a fight." One of the tamers had yelled sending yet another stunning charm at the gold beast. Charlie had put a well-placed confusion charm on him. With all the charms and curses the dragon gave a wildly moan and collapsed by several of the wizard who had been riding broom as not to get trampled on.

Charlie was in awe at the dragon. It was a beautiful gold. The same man who had shouted earlier spoke again, "When was the last time anyone has seen a dragon? I thought they and the red dragon were extinct." Charlie nodded as he gently rubbed the golden scales, something was wrong, the scales felt like human skin. "By Merlin's Beard! The dragon is... shrinking!"

Charlie back away, indeed the dragon was getting smaller. He gasped as the dragon's scales turn a pale shade and it grew blonde white hair. He growled, as the human taking the form of the dragon became evident, "Draco!" Draco moaned as he pushed himself up. A man behind Charlie charmed a blanket out and across Draco.

Draco came to terms with his surrounding; "You're going to turn me in aren't you?" Charlie couldn't decide. What would his men say if he let Draco go? He has so much power in that form it would be dangerous to let him go unchecked. Then again, He is my cousin and I have a responsibility to protect him. Which is important to me? Draco, the boy how has harassed and mocked Ron and My family all his life or my friends who stay by my side and make sure everything turns out okay.

Charlie sighed, "Get lost cousin," there was gasps all round, "you are a worm Malfoy and you have always been a worm. Ron is right and when he gets home I will tell him. Your fate will either lay in the Ministry or Ron. Maybe the Ministry will except your late registration or maybe Ron will just out right snitch on you! GO! Get out of my face or the next I see you I WILL turn you in for being an Illegal Animagus COUSIN." He said hoping his friends would understand.

Draco apparated out of sight seconds after he finished talking and his friends crowded around him with sorry faces, "By God why has fate condemned you to be related to that piece of shit?" One of the men said. Charlie just nodded numbly ordering to make camp and he then felt into bed so tired of life as he always was, the dragons were the only thing that kept him going, now they to were tainted and made Charlie think twice. >

Suddenly a man barged into Charlie's study, "Charlie! It's- It's- It's a- It's a RED DRAGON!" The man was panting wildly but smiling with a giant mouth. Of course, one would smile at seeing two rare dragons in one day.

Charlie jumped at the words, "It's can't be! It must be another rogue Animagus!" It's can't be a red dragon but then again... How many rogue Animagus people are there? The ministry can't be that out of shape.

The man nodded, "Maybe but Charlie it's just amazing to see even it if it isn't real! I mean it's not in the book. It's really there even if it's a human in disguise, just to see it. Charlie, I'll never let you live this down if you don't come with me NOW." Charlie nodded; just to see it was magic in itself.

Scrambling out of the tent Charlie sway the dragon jumping up from the Hogwarts grounds, Strange... How did we end up so close to Hogwarts? Thought Charlie as he watched the dragon dance in the air. The fire red dragon began to circle and roar waving it's massive arm. He gasped along with all his me when the dragon stopped chanting and was shadowed by a bright light. A circle appeared in the air. Inside the shinny circle of white fire was a darkened sky, red with molten lava and dark with volcanic smoke. "It's a portal! It has to be very old magic! I mean... it's not held open by anything! No columns, no crystal, no staffs, it's just there being held open by the caster's magic." Charlie gasped.

Suddenly the dragon danced into the circle and disappeared. "W-What happened? Where did the dragon go! Charlie where did that beautiful beast go!" Charlie peered at the portal closely and smiled happily.

"That is amazing magic it deed. It seems like a door! The way it is made we can see the sky wherever the other portal is. Say you were a bird... if you looked at the portal from above you would see the ground. If you stuck your head through the portal you could look around and see both the ground and the sky!" Charlie couldn't believe it, magic like that was lost with Merlin.

---

You have failed me. How dare you let her go!

She's coming back! She said so.

Foolish boy! She hissed at you! Jump now! I want you to die for losing my Ginny.

NO! I-I- can't do... do it. Do it. What ever you desire. Colin gave a content smile as the hallow fuzzy feeling in his head magnified. He climbed onto the wall's edge and walked off.

Ginny flew through the portal quickly. She danced quickly around the sky looking for a volcano. There has to be one nearby! She attempted to smile as the red mountain spat rocks and fire. She took out her half of the orb and gently tucked it in her mouth. With a great inhale she dived into the volcano.

It's was so warming to her. It was where she belonged in this form. She gave a happy roar and found she could some how openly breathe. She swam in the lava deeper and deeper. Soon it was red and black with rock and lava. Her skin was tingling with warmth as she swam deeper. This is home, She thought.

She took wild turns loosing herself in the under ground paths. Left, Right, Down, Right, Left, Left Down, She gave a giant howl of happiness and let the half of her orb fall into the lava. Done. She sighed suddenly sad that she was leaving her home. With a swift chant she was above the portal again lava leaking from her body.

She gave a great sigh as she saw to things. The grassy grounds before suddenly catch fire and Colin falling from the North Tower.

****

Hermione checked off role with a frown, "Where are Colin and Ginny? I though they re-enrolled in this class for advanced training?" Some of her students looked around cautiously, Why can't Dumbledore keep her under control. Why is Ginny so reckless? Hermione frowned as she felt that empty spot in her head. What can't I remember? I should know something about Ginny... and myself, but I can't! What's wrong with me.

The sound of her door crashing open brought her attention back to the present. Snape was frowning as always, just a tad worse this time. Hermione was quickly dragged out of her room and the door shut, "Mrs. Potter. I need you to teach me how to be an Animagus!" Hermione laughed openly.

Snape's glare shut her back up, "Professor Snape why would you want to due such a thing?" Really, I don't think you have to potential to transform.

Snape took a deep breath, "Pansy says I am not a fit father to her child. I can not go out with them on full moons; that I can not fully relate to a wolf child when I am completely man. Hermione," Hermione went white with shock at the mention of her name, "teach me how to be a Animagus wolf. My relationship with my family depends on it. Will you do it?"

Hermione close her eyes thinking quickly then opened her mouth and gave him her answer.
