Never Conceited
Author's Note:
Hey a short fic loosely based on the movie "Becoming Jane" which has captivated me utterly as a 'vigorous' fan of Jane Austen's…I adore her writing…neway hope this fic isn't to much of a disgrace to her own story…loosely of course because of….well you'll find out….BTW it is post the eighth chapter in the DH and starts around Christmas, kind of another take on how the other's spent their time while, the trio hunted the horcruxes.
It will disregard the book on most factual bases after the eighth chapter.
Chapter One:
Affecting Passion
Lean fingers ran through immaculately groomed hair as, the lithe body, toned from once spending years in Quidditch training, paced the antique Persian rug that covered the floor of the elegant study.
Wand in hand he meticulously continued to tear apart, said 'elegant study' part by deplorable part.
The mahogany shelves found themselves collapsing as century's worth of books and ledgers tumbled to the ground.
Exclusive portraits, torn apart with absurdly powerful slashing hexes.
In fact it soon seemed that the only object to have survived this flight of fury was the crystal decanter which was now pouring an amber liquid into the one crystal glass that had survived, and automatically found itself in its master's hand.
Almost two decades and still the pain was just as potent as it had been so long ago.
Would it ever stop, would it ever become less…the torture, the agony, the ache
He shut his eyes in cold remembrance.

"I wonder, how it is that you of all people can dispose of yourself to affection." He spat the word out as if it was the vilest poison.
Brown eyes, had glazed over with tears at the mere sound of the voice behind her.
"As opposed to what, passion?
Inequity and discrimination?
Forgive me, if I find affection, however lame it may seem to you, to be the better option."
"And when your affection for Potter dwindles, Weaseley?" he asked his voice as aloof as hers was broken
"Affection does not dwindle Draco; unfortunately, the same cannot be said for passion."
This said she turned, her head bent low over her shoulder's as she turned to walk away.
Draco however, was much to infuriated by the chit's response, to notice such tell-tale signs of remorse. He spun almost immediately after and with a few quick steps grabbed her by her arm and pulled her into the dark cover of the green house, thrusting her against the wall, with a none to gentle, push.
Huge brown eyes looked almost fearfully into what looked for a moment like solid metal, in its purest form.
A smirk lifted the corner of Draco's mouth as he recognized the terror in her eyes, knowing she feared more than just him, she feared even more that he was right.
"Let's test that theory, shall we?"
Lips smooth as satin slid over Ginny's own.
Fusing over hers, they slanted teasingly down, giving him room to nibble in an unforeseen gesture at her bottom lip.
Despite, having waited patiently for her lips to part with a soft sigh, his tongue immediately sought admittance.
It was just as her tongue rose to meet his, in this duel of ardor that, a loud, almost panic stricken voice, rang out.
"Ginny!"
As if in instinctive reaction, she pulled away from him at the same moment in which he pulled her closer.
His teeth grazed her lip once again in effort to keep them from leaving his.
The voice now closer continued to ring through the school yard.
"Don't go." He demanded his voice hoarse, and only he, knew how much that short statement had cost him, not that, that thought had stopped him.
He could feel the trauma in the voice, as only one like him, who had spent time in such close quarters with it could.
Suddenly she leaned forward, pressing her lips tightly against his, his grip slackened, and in the same moment she moved out of the safety of his reach.
She took a few deliberate steps backward before with a small shaky smile at him, she answered the voice in a voice even shakier than her smile.
Silver eyes watched, silently tormented, as she continued to cross over towards the voice in wide strides.
