Leader of the Pack

rated PG-13

Hey all. I was cleaning out my files and I saw that I had started this fic. I know

I am supposed to start on the 10th chapter of Farther, but I just wanted to get

this posted. I know it's a bit morbid, but it fits the song. I will warn you now

that there is a character death. If you know this song, then you will know who

dies. So, here you go. By the way, none of the characters belong to me, except

Ginny's friends. Ha ha ha… ::sigh:: And the song doesn't either. This isn't going

to be happy. Draco / Ginny .. Please read and review.

( )- talking in the song

*(Is she really going out with him?

well, there she is, Let's ask her.

Betty, is that Jimmy's ring your wearing? yes

Gee, it must be great riding with him.

Is he picking you up after school today? no

By the way, where did you meet him?)*

Ginny was walking down the halls of Hogwarts. She had a slight smile on her lips. Her

friends, Mari Little and Heather Thompson, walked up to her, with excited looks on their

faces.

"Is it true, Gin? Are you really going out with him?" Mari asked.

"Yah, I heard that you were, but, we just couldn't't believe it." Heather said in a rush.

Ginny just smiled bigger and showed off a man sized ring on her finger. It was clunky, silver,

and had a snake on it.

"Oh, wow. That is so cool. That must have cost him a fortune," Mari said in a rush, then

giggled, "but I guess he can afford it."

Ginny didn't respond to her friends good natured teasing. She was lost in the memory of the

man who gave her the ring.

Heather's eyes lit up. "Oh, I bet you will have tons of fun riding double on his broom." She

busted up in laughter and Mari joined her. Once again, Ginny didn't hear her friends

comments. Mari, impatient from being ignored, snapped her fingers in Ginny's face. Ginny

started at the sudden hand in front of her face as gasped.

"Don't do that! Gesh, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Ginny stated, annoyed.

Seeing that Ginny was getting pissed, Heather quickly asked, "So, when did this happen?"

Ginny smiled again and started to tell her story

*I met him at the candy store

He turned around and smiled at me - you get the picture

(yes we see)

That's when I fell for - the leader of the pack*

"It was last Hogsmead weekend. I was tagging alone with Ron again, since you two had

detention. Well, he told me to get lost, so I left him to his own devices. I had saved up

some money and wanted to get some chocolate. I went to Hunydukes and picked out my

favorite candy. As i was reaching for a chocolate frog, someone else reached for the same

one. Our hands brushed and I felt an electric spark. I turned to look at the person and to

my shock it was Draco. He had this shocked expression on his face, like he couldn't believe

that he had just touched me. Then to my utter shock, he smiled at me. Not sneered, but

smiled. He was like a glorious angel. Hiss hand curled around mine and I just smiled back

at him. We went off a bit, so no one would see him and we talked. Oh, I have never had

such a good time. When it was time to go back, he leaned down and softly kissed my cheek.

It was the most sweetest thing in the whole world."

During the speech, her friends all sighed and gasped in all the right places, happy that their

friend had found someone who loved her. After all the years of chasing a boy that would

never see her, they were happy that she had finally found someone she could love.

They were a little worried about what the families would say, but then Ginny didn't seem

too worried about it, so they put it out of their minds.

*My folks were always putting him down

They said he came from the wrong side of town

They told me he was bad

But I knew he was sad

That's why I fell for - the leader of the pack.*

Ginny was sitting in the Griffindore common room trying to finish the last bit of homework

that she had to do before Spring Break. She didn't want to waste anytime on it, when she

could be thinking about Draco. She sighed happily as thoughts of her silver eyed boyfriend

came to her mind, pushing all homework out. She was daydreaming when a sudden hand

roughly shook her. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was her brother, Ron. She

quickly pushed back thought s of Draco.

"How COULD you? How could you date that slimy prick?! After all he has done, Ginny,

how could you just throw yourself at him. You are disgracing the Weasly name. Just wait

till I tell Dad and Mom about you dating the Junior Death Eater! They are going to kill you."

Ron screamed at his sister. His face was as red as his hair. She had never seen that look in

his eyes directed at her before. Like she was the lowest form of life. Her anger raged up in

her.

"How DARE you talk to me like that, Ronald Weasly! It'd my life and you know nothing

about it or him! You have no clue, so don't you yell at me. I will date whom ever I want,

without your permission. I don't want or need it. Just stay away from me. If that is how

you feel about it, just leave me alone. I hate you!" She yelled back, tears starting to form

in her eyes. She run up to her dorm and flung herself onto her bed and let the tears fall.

She was upset because everyone thought that Draco was evil, but she knew that he was a

spy. Not that anyone would believe her or him if they ever told. Besides that would get him

killed. So she just cried herself to sleep, dreaming of the love between her and Draco.

*One day my dad said "find someone new"

I had to tell my Jim we were through

He stood there and asked me why

But all I could do was cry

I'm sorry I hurt you - the leader of the pack.*

Once at home, things didn't improve for Ginny. Her family was furious at her. They raged

at her, about how she was disgracing their name. That she was bringing shame down on

their family. They told her that she had to choose. Her family or Draco. What was a

sixteen year old to do?

When she got back to Hogwarts after the break, she met Draco in their secret place.

"Ginny, I have missed you, my little one. How was Break?" Draco asked, not yet noticing

Ginny's distress.

"Draco, please, just kiss me. I need you to just kiss me..." her voice cracking a bit,

knowing that she was going to hurt this wonderful boy.

He gave her a confused look, but did as she asked. It was a sweet, tender kiss. One that

showed how much he cared for the little red-head. Ginny's tears flowed freely down her

face and Draco broke the kiss.

"What's wrong, Love?" He was getting really worried.

Ginny moved out of his arms and went to the window, so that he couldn't see her face. She

hated doing this, but she needed her family. She look a ragged breath.

"Draco, I love you more then I can say. You are the sweetest boy. You are so much better

then what people say. But my family told me that If I continue to date you, then they will

disown me." She started to sob harder. "i don't know what to do.. I love you all. How

am I supposed to cut a piece of my heart away? I can't do it. I can't leave my family." She

finally crumbled and sat there, shaking and crying.

Draco was frozen. "why?" his voice tortured, not comprehending what was happening.

Ginny just sobbed harder.

*(He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye

The tears were beginning to show

And as he left me on that rainy night

I begged him to go slow

But whether he heard, I'll never know

look out look out look out)*

He composed himself as much as he could and knelt by the girl. He raised her chin to be

able to look into her brown eyes one last time. He smiled softly and kissed her forehead.

His eyes were bright with unshed tears. Ginny put her arms around him and hugged him,

beginning to calm down a bit.

He quickly stood up and rushed to leave the room.

"Please, draco, don't do anything stupid. I love you." Ginny told him desperately, a bad

feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Draco didn't even pause to acknowledge her words. Ginny sat there and cried more tears.

The next day, Ginny dragged herself down to the great hall to eat, even though she didn't

feel like it. halfway there, she heard something that made her heart freeze.

"What? Malfoy tried to take out You-Know-Who? I thought that he was a follower. Why

would he do that?" one gil exclaimed.

"Well, i don't know, but he was killed. His body wa delivered to the headmaster first thing

this morning. no one knows why though...." Said another girl.

Ginny sunk to the floor and started to scream.

*I felt so helpless - what could I do?

Remembering all the things we'd been through

At school they all stop and stare

I can't hide the tears, but I don't care

I'll never forget you - the leader of the pack.*

Ginny stayed in the infirmary for a week, from the shock, then depression. When

Madame Pomfrey stated that she was good enough to go to classes, Ginny just

nodded. She didn't have enough energy to do anything more then that.

When she walked down the halls, people would stop talking abruptly. If she would

have been with it, she would have realized that they were talking about her. It was

all over school that Draco had sacrificed himself to prove that he was worthy of her

love.

Ginny spent the rest of the year in a deep depression. She went to classes

automatically. She didn't answer any question but she still got good grades.

She refused to talk to her family. Every now and then she would remember

something that she and Draco had done and she would start to silently cry.

Everyone was at a lost for what to do.

One night, when she couldn't take it anymore, she went up to their secret spot.

She took out a beautiful silver and emerald knife that Draco had given her.

She smiled serenely at it. She knew what she had to do. She couldn't bare

the thought of never having him around to hold and kiss her again. She had

tried to move on, but she couldn't. She raised the dagger, it flashed briefly in

the moonlight and slit her wrists. As she laid there bleeding, a ray of moonlight

seemed to hit ginny's face. She smiled, glassy-eyed and called out softly, "Draco,

my love, I am going to join you soon..."

*The leader of the pack - now he's gone

The leader of the pack - now he's gone

The leader of the pack - now he's gone.*
