Stay, a harry potter fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't anything at all, though if i did the 7th book would have ended a lot differently...JK owns HP and Sugarland owns the song

AN: I know that this song is from a female's perspective, but I was at a Sugarland concert recently and I couldn't help but think of Draco singing (or thinking) this concerning himself, Ginny & of course the 'Boy-who-bloody-won't-die' – straight from Draco's mouth, or at least the mouth of the Draco in my story…Enjoy!

Stay

I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone
And I'll be crying

Ginny & Draco were in the middle of a very enjoyable snogging session when a piercing ring could be heard.

"Bloody hell Gin! Just ignore that damn thing, you know its Potter….its always the bloody-boy-who-just-won't-die."

"You know I can't do that, he might get suspicious of this…thing" snapped Ginny as she gestured between them. She slowly got up off of Draco and grabbed the cell phone that Harry had insisted buying for her from the other room.

And I'll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
With my Heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I'm dying

After ten minutes had gone by, Draco finally gave up on Ginny returning. He got up from his bed and sauntered off to the front room of his London flat. As he reached the room he was able to hear the tale end her conversation.

"I love you too Harry…I'll be home real soon, let me just wrap up my shopping for the day".

At this she closed the phone and turned to face Draco as she told him "I'm really sorry baby, but I need to go home, I've been gone all day and you know how he gets".

"What about how I get when you leave me again? Can't you see how this is killing me each every time? I love you so much Gin, but you just won't leave him" quietly responded Draco

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you next time" Ginny then stood on her tippy toes and gave him a quick peek on the lips and with that she was gone.

Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay

After Ginny left, Draco just stared at the spot she was at for a long time. Finally he threw a glass vase at it as he stormed out of the room and into the kitchen. He opened up a cabinet and grabbed an unopened bottle of Firewhiskey. As he sat on the tile floor of his kitchen he chugged the alcohol in an attempt to dull the pain he was trying to ignore. He finally ended up passing out on the floor, tightly clutching the bottle of Firewhiskey.

You keep telling me, baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bare
To love a man you have to share

The next afternoon, Ginny stopped by Draco's flat to see if she could possible finish what was started the night before. She was greeted with a passed out Draco in his kitchen. Ginny reached down to pick up the bottle and wake him up.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy get your arse up right now!" hollered Ginny

Draco slowly lifted his head, opened his eyes and immediately shut them again. With his hand on his head he angrily requested, "Will you shut the bloody hell up? I feel like I was just hit by a train and the extremely loud volume of your voice is not helping matters"

"It is your own bloody fault that you feel that way! Why did you feel the need to drink the WHOLE bottle!" she replied

"Because of you! You are always leaving me, no matter how much I tell you that I love you time and time again you still insist on going back to potter. And don't tell me it's because you love him and not me, because we both know that isn't the truth. I just can't do this anymore; I can't be the other guy. You have to pick, either him or me, you can't have us both" answered Draco.

Ginny just stood there looking at him with her wide eyes before responding to him that she needed to think, and with that she quickly Apparated out of the flat.

I can't take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute
After all that I've put in it
I've given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine

As the days and weeks went by Draco kept holding on to the belief that Ginny would be back. One day, just as he was realizing that he would always come in second to bloody Potter he heard a soft knocking on his door. He went over to open it and saw Ginny with two large suitcases at her feet.

"I did it Draco, I left him for you, please tell me I'm not too late and that I can stay here" She quietly asked

Draco took one look at her and pulled her close for a long sensuous kiss, "All I ever wanted from you love was for you to just stay"
