Dragon's Den
A/N: This is a Draco/Ginny… I've read a lot of fics about Draco and Ginny during Hogwarts and I couldn't help myself to think 'I haven't really seen any post-Hogwarts.' So I made this 7 years after Ginny graduated from Hogwarts. Every one has changed for the better, but some remained the same and nurtured their hatred for Harry Potter, who survived in this story. Well here's the first Chapter.
Disclaimer: I only own my mind. Jo owns everything that has to with Harry Potter characters.
Chapter One: Vacation to Romania
"Miss Weasley, Mr. Malfoy wishes to see you," called the assistant over the intercom. Miss Ginevra Molly Weasley stood up and walked to her boss's office. He smiled courteously; the war and the time in Azkaban had really changed him. "Miss Weasley, I've noticed that you haven't taken a day since I hired you. I figured out that you have a brother in Romania that is a care taker of dragons and since the place needed to be re-registered I offered that you could go. Spend a little time with your brother; after all it is almost your birthday," he said nicely.
It was true; she hadn't seen her brother in seven years and what better than to spend her birthday off. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy," Ginny squeaked and shook his hand graciously. "Thank you, Thank you." Lucius Malfoy smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "You deserve it Miss Weasley, your one of my best employees."
Ginny packed up her things at her apartment for a couple days and made sure that she had the re-registry form in her pocket. She wrote her mother that she was going to see Charlie in Romania and set off for the country. She wanted to surprise her elder brother when she arrived there. As she did they were busy controlling a Dragon, she stopped and asked a kind looking gentlemen who had shoulder-length silver-ish hair. "Where could I find Charlie Weasley?" She asked politely.
"Charlie? He would be right side second chain. But I got to say, wait till we get Alexander's mouth shut. He spits acid," the man said he had a polite British accent and a great smile. Then he climbed up the chain with a huge clamp over his back to put on the Dragon's mouth. The man climbed right on top of the dragon's mouth as the dragon shook it's large head, some how, Ginny didn't really figure out how, the man got the clamp over it's mouth.
"OI! Charlie a little misses is looking for you!" he said on top of its head jumping off landing right in front of Ginny. Charlie came around the corner and smile formed on his face, he hugged his sister. "What brings a visit from the busy Ginny?" Charlie asked as the man dunked his hands in bat of goop it seemed. "She's your sister? Why didn't you say that Miss?" the man mumbled taking his hands out of the bat as the goop absorbed into his skin healing the flesh.
Ginny smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "I thought you could tell, Mr. Malfoy sent me to have this sight re-registered and he also gave me a break," Ginny said promptly. Charlie smiled, "I'm glad to have you here, haven't seen you graduated from Hogwarts." Ginny smiled holding her bag; she shrank everything that she wanted to bring and stuffed them into her bag.
"Give the form to Draco; he's the only bloke around here who can do that kind of stuff without us loosing this place," Charlie laughed and Ginny's eyes went wide. "Draco Malfoy?" she asked almost not believing her older brother. The blonde man behind them laughed at that comment, "Who else would be called Draco, Miss Weasley?" He said taking the form and reading it squinting, "I need my glasses for this fine print," he mumbled.
"I thought…you disappeared..." Ginny stuttered as they went to the office, it was cramped and papers were piled everywhere. "No Miss, I was dismembered from my family. You see after I received the dark mark, I betrayed my family and became a spy for Dumbledore. The dismembered me after the war. So my Father's been telling people I've disappeared? Sure does sound like him to do such a thing," Draco exclaimed not loosing his smile.
Ginny looked astonished, the Draco Malfoy she remembered was pale and appeared frail. The man who stood in front of her had a gracious smile, a tan, and was remarkably built. "So how long are you staying Ginny?" Charlie said taking her bag guiding her to the enormous cabin behind the dragons. "Umm maybe a week or so… don't know," Ginny said meeting Draco blew her away. "Is Draco your boss?" she asked as they walked there.
"Nah, I'm his. Draco Malfoy is a smart lad, very polite. He has a passion for Dragons, loves them to death. He even has a little one that he's raising, Guinevere he calls her. Adorable actually, she's gotten to a large size but is the nicest thing ever," Charlie informed Ginny who stepped into the house.
"Here, let's find you a vacant room," he said going up the stares on the right side. He put Ginny's things down in a room that wasn't decorated at all. "Sorry 'bout the lack of decoration. We don't have too much style around here, so we leave the walls blank. Let me introduce you to, basically the mother of the house, Mrs. Brabant," Charlie said putting his arm around his little sister and pulling her into a fierce hug.
They went into a large kitchen where a plump woman was making lunch. Her face brightened up when she saw Ginny and she exclaimed, "You have a visitor with you! Is she your girlfriend Charlie? Nobody brings there girlfriends down here, afraid I might get jealous of my boys, I betcha."
Charlie chuckled, "This is my little sister Ginny Mrs. Brabant, and she'll be staying here for a while." Mrs. Brabant beamed, "Even better than a girlfriend, a family member!" She hugged Ginny and made her taste test the soup she was making. Ginny smiled and said it was very good.
Ginny later sat by the fire and talked to her older brother till lunch was ready. The bright eyed red head was amazed how many guys Charlie was living with. There were ten living in the cabin, with only two bathrooms. There were actually two woman besides Mrs. Brabant and they took one of the bathrooms claiming they needed there privacy and only let Charlie and Draco use there bathroom since the two were "civilized."
All the men poured through the door when twelve on the clock chimed and they all rushed to the kitchen like little boys. Ginny thought the sight was hysterical, the cabin resembled the tree house for the lost boys in Peter Pan and Mrs. Brabant was Wendy. "Are you hungry sweetie?" Mrs. Brabant asked stepping out of the kitchen. Ginny nodded, she went into the kitchen she had to step over some people. There wasn't enough room for twelve people at the kitchen table.
Ginny saw that Draco was sitting and talking to another guy who wasn't eating either, "Blaise, honey are you going to eat?" Mrs. Brabant asked. The man with the buzz cut shook his head no, "I'm going to make myself a cup of coffee later."
"Miss Weasley, are you married?" Mrs. Brabant asked starting a conversation with the girl sitting next to her kicking one of men out of the chairs. This made some of the men perk up and listen, "No ma'am, I'm not married not even dating," Ginny said laughing at some of the men who winked at her. "Don't look for any one here, there all hooligans except for Dray and Charlie," one woman advised and the other nodded.
"I'm glad you think of me so highly Miss Rice, but I do believe there is Blaise Zabini who is also, I guess you can consider civilized," Draco said promptly giving Ginny back the form she gave him to fill out. Miss Rice smiled, "Ah yes how can we forget Zabini?" She looked over at the younger woman next to her and grinned.
"You speak just like a gentlemen, just like your father did when he was your age Draco," Mrs. Brabant chuckled taking his bowl and he smiled sitting back down pulling out a book and put on his glasses.
"So Miss Weasley, who's the guy you last dated?" one man asked with his mouth foul. "Richard! How rude, you don't ask people those questions," Mrs. Brabant lectured hitting him with her wooden spoon. "Its fine Mrs. Brabant, the last person I continuously dated was Harry Potter and that was I believe four years ago. Since then I've gone on many dates with people, but they ended up as pigs," Ginny sighed to the man named Richard.
"I always thought you'd marry Potter Miss Weasley, it seemed that you were happy with him," Draco commented getting up and pouring two cups of coffee. Ginny nodded, "well he broke up with me and eventually married Hermione." Draco's eyes went wide, "A foolish mistake," he mumbled.
Ginevra Weasley in his eyes had grown into a full bodied woman, curves where she needed them. She had a remarkable smile, vivid flaming red hair that went down past her shoulders; she was short but had a long torso. The epitome of beauty, Miss Ginevra Weasley was. She had freckles on her face and on her chest where the neckline of her shirt dropped. 'The girls grown up into a gorgeous lady,' Draco thought and smile appeared on his face. "Mrs. Brabant, do you have any sugar?" he asked trying to keep his eyes away from Ginny.
"You do need to cut this hair, just let me snip it a little, just a tiny bit Draco," Mrs. Brabant pleaded trying to see how much she wanted to cut off. Draco pulled his ponytail over his shoulder and opened a cabinet trying to find sugar saying, "Mrs. Brabant, I hold you with highest respect. But please do me a favor and leave my hair alone." This reminded of Bill and her mother, every time Bill was around her mom, she would plead with Bill for her to cut his hair.
"Plus he vouldn't ze Draco, if you zut of 'is 'air," the younger lady piped up in a thick Swedish accent. Ginny felt odd, this was obviously a family that stuck together. Richard took Draco's hair and rubbed his face on it he sighed, "Plus it's so soft, almost like baby hair, you sure do have feminine hair Dray."
Draco shook his head; some of his hair wasn't even in the band. "You're officially gay Rich," Draco said pulling the band out. He looked like his dad, but in a way he was more handsome and his face wasn't as pointy as his fathers. Richard ran his fingers through Draco's hair making some men laugh and made little moaning noises, "Come on Draco, just think I'm Pansy for a couple seconds and I promise you I'm good in bed," Richard joked around. This caused an uproar of laughter in the house that could cause an earthquake.
"If you were Pansy, I'd kill you," Draco said laughing a little hoping up on the counter. She couldn't really remember Pansy Parkinson, but she new that Draco didn't like her anymore. The men around the table had each different colored tee shirts, Charlie's color was a deep blue, and Draco's color was black. Blaise's color was green and the man called Richard had orange. "Its laundry day, so today I want all you people that have dark clothes to put your clothing in the washing machine," Mrs. Brabant informed them all.
"Get back to work, all of you! Ginny dear, you can stay and talk with me," Mrs. Brabant beamed. Ginny smiled, 'I feel out of place here, these people have been living with each other for such a long time, and I just come waltzing in,' she thought a little nervous and feeling out of place.
When the last person left and Mrs. Brabant cleared everything she sat down with a cup of tea with Ginny, "I'm so glad to have another lady here with me; I get so lonely sometimes when they go off. I feel almost like there mother sometimes," the elderly lady said sipping her tea.
"You remind me of Wendy, from Peter Pan. Taking care of the Lost Boys and everything," Ginny thought aloud Mrs. Brabant chuckled at this. "That's what my husband said before he died, he was Peter Pan, and we actually call this place Neverland." Ginny saw a twinkle in Mrs. Brabant's eyes; it seemed that her real call was taking care of these "Lost Boys."
"So Ginny, what do you think of Draco? He's quite a looker," Mrs. Brabant inquired, Ginny looked almost startled. "I just met him Mrs. Brabant," she said a little shocked that the elderly woman would ask such a question like that.
Mrs. Brabant cocked her head to the side, "Poor Dray, the men tease him since they all have girlfriends and some are engaged. Say that the only woman that loves him is his dragon Guinevere," she sighed, she looked disappointed that Ginny wasn't interested in the Malfoy. "Charlie was telling me about Guinevere, says that she's real gentle," Ginny mentioned to Mrs. Brabant.
Mrs. Brabant laughed, "As gentle as a dragon can get, she's real weak, born with disabilities Charlie tells me. Draco is the only one that can get close to her without her eating anyone." Ginny nodded saying that she needed fresh air, feeling that she didn't want to talk to Mrs. Brabant anymore. She sat on the porch swinging back and forth taking in her beautiful surroundings. She saw the dragons off in the distance, they looked almost gentle. She lay down and shortly after that the breeze called her to sleep.
"Miss Weasley," a voice called her back from her dreams, "Miss Weasley, do wake up, you've been sleeping since lunch." She opened her eyes and forgot where she was for a second she punched Draco in the nose and fell back asleep. "Ginny!" she heard another voice call but not as softly. "Get away," Ginny mumbled.
"Ginny!" Charlie shouted in her ear, "What the hell do you…" Ginny started up and started apologizing to Draco talking extremely fast. "Its fine, it's fine," he laughed wiping the small amount of blood that was building up under his nose. Ginny turned bright red and almost cried, "I'm sorry Draco, and I really am. I don't normally do that, well never mind I do. I've popped Ron so many times he doesn't even want to attempt to wake me up anymore. I'm really sorry."
Draco smiled and kissed her knuckles, "Don't apologize Miss Weasley, it's an act of defense." He said and got up and went into the kitchen, Ginny looked up at the sky, it as about to rain. 'I humiliated myself, good going Ginny!' She seriously about to cry, "Hermione owled me, she Harry and Ron are coming tomorrow. They say the want to see you," Charlie said interrupting her near emotional break down.
"You feel bad about punching him don't you?" Charlie asked as Ginny rested his head on her older brother's shoulder. "I feel like a little girl doing that, and I'm almost twenty-five," she said with disgust in herself. The clouds opened and the rain started pouring down.
"Are you still upset about Harry leaving you?" Charlie asked staring off into the rain. Ginny sighed, "No, not at all actually. I wouldn't be able to live with him, our tempers would flair off too much. Besides I wasn't really happy, it was just a girlish crush." Charlie sighed with relief and hugged his little sister.
Ginny thought she would retire to bed after eating dinner, she was tired and felt so guilty it was driving her to exhaustion. But in the middle of the night she woke up and saw flashes of fire through out the rain. Ginny went down stairs in her night gown that trailed after her. She almost looked like a Grecian goddess the way the nightgown fitted her. She pulled on her cloak and went outside to the porch where everyone was sitting.
"What's going on?" she asked sitting next to her brother on the swing. "The dragons, we let them blow fire when it pours. It's a great sight," Draco said who sat a the end of the porch. Ginny nodded and almost squeaked when she saw a Dragon come up to the porch. Draco went out into the ran and took off her mouth guard off by climbing up the dragon's side. She snorted and they could feel the hot wind come at them. As Draco slid off the dragon sauntered away. "You sure do have a big lover Draco," some of the guys snickered and clanged there beer mugs together. Draco sighed, his hair fell in his eyes and he looked like a sex god.
'I still can't believe that's Draco Malfoy,' Ginny thought trying to look away from Draco. 'That gentlemen can't be Draco Malfoy, he's too charming, kind, polite, and above all drop dead gorgeous. I swear if I stay any longer I'll be forced to something irrational. I wonder if he's good in bed.' Ginny questioned and almost hit herself in the head.
She watched the flames dance in the sky, it was really a sight.
