On My Own

Ginny sat stiffly in the front seat of Kevin's car.

Damn muggle contraption, Ginny thought angrily.

The car hit a dip in the dirt road and Ginny clutched the seat her nails digging into the seat covers.

"You ok?" Kevin asked as he turned another corner.

Ginny's face pailed a little more as they hit another bump.

"Here we are," Kevin said as they slowed down and drove under a sign that said Kestiline.

"What is Kestiline?" Ginny asked

"Back in the day the two house in Kestiline where owned by family members and they shared the

properties and gave them one name,” Kevin said.

However if you wish we can have someone come out and map your property so that you can build a fence

between the house's.

You cant see the other house from yours unless your in the attic," Kevin explained.

"Does anyone live in the other house?" Ginny asked.

"Yes a Mr. Drake Oliver, I’m told he's not very social. Here is the split to the different house's. yours is to

the left and his is to the right beyond the trees,” Kevin explained.

Ginny peered over toward the other house that was just visible threw the tree’s.

The car pulled up to a large house and Ginny looked around.

The pealing paint reminded her of the burrow and she smiled.

“Here we are Ms. Malfoy, please let us know if you need anything, here are your keys,” Kevin said then

opened his door to get out.

“It’s ok Kevin thank you for the ride, I got it from here,” Ginny said with a smile.

Kevin waved then as Ginny shut the door to the car he drove off.

Ginny turned and looked up at the house, she could tell it needed work. Ginny pulled out her wand and

looked around nervously.

“Reparo,” Ginny said pointing her wand at the stairs that led to the house. The stairs mended them self

and Ginny walked up the stairs to the front door.

Ginny turned the key in the lock and pushed it open.

Ginny stared at the dust covered hard wood floors and then up at the walls that where covered with old

horrid pink wallpaper, that was pealing in places.

Ginny shut the door behind her and looked around the large entrance hall. Ginny sighed already dead

tired, she turned to the stairs deciding to explore after she set up her room.

Ginny stared at the stairs, they looked safe enough but she pointed her wand at them “Reparo,”

She heard a load thud then walked up the stairs thinking that she at least could protect her self with

repairing charms if not anything else.

Ginny walked, looking around at the second floor landing then walked down the hall as instructed by Kevin

to the last door on the right. Ginny opened the door and gasped in surprise. The room was huge and

actually quite beautiful even threw the filth. Ginny pulled a small beaded bag from around her neck and

touched it lovingly. Hermione had given it to her on the day of her and Ron’s wedding.

Ginny had been Maid of Honor and thrilled about the magically expanded purse, but had added a long Neck

sling to it so she didn’t have to clutch on to it.

Ginny walked to the window and stared out at the huge trees all around the house. She looked down as

movement caught her eyes, she froze for there he stood in all is blond haired glory Draco Malfoy walking

towards her house.
