A/N: ** DO NOT e-mail me or write in your reviews about mistakes or grammar, because I don't care. This is something that is supposed to be fun for me and I do not want a grammar lesson. I hope you'll enjoy my stories, but I seriously don't want to hear about it. Thank you. **
A/N: I do not own any of the rights of these characters or of the wizarding world. They all belong to J.K Rowling; I'm just borrowing them for a bit. I know what some of you are thinking. 'Why is she writing another story while she still has to finish two?' Well the reason why I am is because I have these great ideas but none of them fit into either story. Therefore I have to write a story. The progress of "Wrong Man" as taken the worst writer's block ever and the progress of Star cross is loosing steam because I feel like I keep bring up the same themes and that I should nip this story in the butt before I "Jump the shark". And I'm hoping that I haven't already done. So that's what's going on in my head and I hope that you enjoy this story as much as you have been enjoying the others.
Ginny was starting her rounds, as a prefect, early this evening. She was hoping that this would take her mind off of things so ; that way she can could hopefully get some much needed sleep. For tThese past two weeks have been just one big blurred for Ginny . She hasn't slept for a full night ever barley slept since it had happen. She would aeither lways wake up in the middle of the night and could never fall back to sleep, . oOr she would just cry in her bed for hours until she end up criyeding herself to sleep. Nothing worked for her and she couldn't ask any of her friends for help since they all think that she's handling it well. She hates feeling weak or pathetic so she has beenwas trying to pretend that she was strong and that she didn't need anyone's pity or help. She was actually very good at pretending to be fine; she even convinces herself sometimes that she was perfectly happy. That is, that's how she felt when she was in the presence of someone else. It was when she was alone with her thoughts when sadness consumes her. Her least favorite time of was at night. Night was her enemy these days. At night is when she left the loneness. Everyone else was off in dreamland while Ginny was too fearful to let sleep take her. Since sleep isn't an option for some nights, Ginny walks around by herself with only the panicking moments when she thinks she hears Mrs. Norris to keep her company. So tonight she's doing her rounds hoping that maybe if she tires herself out physically then she would be too tired to even think about anything at all.
Unfortunately It was time like this, where she could think about everything was the worst. That's why she hated sleep. She either would only think about it until she finally went to sleep only to find herself in a dream about the quiet corridors at night doesn't help to take her mind off of her troubles. Every time she closed her eyes sShe couldan still see it all happening all over againg again. Every second is slowed down and she feels all of the confusion and painemotions that she felt in that moment. Ever moment is still vivid for her. She remembers Every night she dreams about it. tThe moment he walked into the door, what he was wearing, how he looked at her, how he gave her goosebumps when he touched her. and Hhow naïve she was that day, she didn't even know what was about to happen.
"Oh my god! On my new dragon scale shoes! You idiot!" Ginny heard, which snapped her out of her thoughts. She round the corner quickly and there was dirt everywhere on the floor and a few magical plants lying at the feet of Draco Malfoy. Neville Longbottom was on his knees trying to pick up his specimens while apologizing frantically.
"Do you even know how much these cost?" Malfoy snapped and kicked off the dirt off of his shoes. "I doubt that you have even seenm that amount of money!" He growled. "You will pay for them to get cleaned." He added.
"Yes, of course Draco. I'm so sorry." Neville said in a panic.
"Malfoy! Leave Neville alone." Ginny said as she walked over to them with her wand in hand.
"Oh what do you want Weaslette? The situation is fine here. Longbottom is going to get my shoes cleaned, by the finest shoe cleaner!" Malfoy yelled down at the kneeling Neville. "So we're good here." He said looking up at Ginny again.
"I don't think so." Ginny squinted her eyes and shook her head. She waved her wand and lightly and all of the dirty came off of the floor and off of Malfoy's shoes and back into the pots. All of the plants were placed nicely back into their right pots and they were orderly placed back on the tray that Neville was using to carry them. "Here you go Neville." Ginny said sweetly and picked up the tray and handed it to him. Neville smiled in awe at Ginny and the quickly coward away when his eyes land on Malfoy.
"Thank you Ginny." Neville manage to choke out before he turned the corner.
"Anytime." Ginny yelled back without looked at him and kept facing the now steaming furious Draco Malfoy.
"You could have scoffed my shoes you know. You probably did, this isn't the right lighting for me to see." Malfoy hissed as he looked down at his shoes.
"So bill me." Ginny rolled her eyes and light a few more torches that were in the corridor.
"Like you can…" Malfoy stopped in mid-sentence as the corridor brightened up more. "My, my, my." Malfoy said with a smile looking at Ginny. "Miss Weasley I now see that the summer has been good to you." Malfoy said in a smooth voice. Ginny turned to face Draco, with pure shock, but didn't allow her face to register it.
"What?" Ginny asked confused as she saw Draco's eyes travel up and down her body, then she knew. .
"And since when am I your type?" Ginny asked with a smirk.
"Since you've became more…..full." Draco answered back and licked his bottom lip.
"Yes well, if you have any brains then you would have known that I became more "full" after last summer." Ginny said as a mater-of-fact and started to walk down the corridor.
"I did notice, but you were only 15 then. Even I have my limits." Draco yelled down the corridor. Ginny stopped and turned back towards him.
"And so since I am 16 now I'm on your radar?" She asked.
"You're 16, full, and a challenge." Draco listed off and he took a few steps towards her and stopped when he was right in front of her. "And I love a challenge." He whispered.
"Please. Was that supposed to impress me? Send shivers down my spine? I'm not just one of your usual stupid girl." Ginny sighed annoyed rolled her eyes and started to walk down the corridor again. The last thing that she heard from Draco was a slight chuckle as she rounded the corner.
Ginny was lazily walking down the corridors, lost in thought again when someone came from behind her and quickly pushed slammed her against the stone wall. Her hands were wrenched up against the wall and the body of the person was pressing up against Ginny. "What the hell!" Ginny screamed.
"You know, you should really be more careful when you walk around here. You could get hurt." A smooth voice said. Once Ginny heard the voice she knew exactly who it was.
"Malfoy get your hands off of me!" Ginny yelled and started to thrash her body about.
"Quiet down now Weaslette. I'm not going to hurt you. What do you think I am? A common rapist?" Draco said with disgust.
"Usually no. But how many times a day does the 'all powerful Draco Malfoy' get turned down?" Ginny said in a mocking tone.
"Do you really think that you are in any position to mock me?" Draco hissed. "Now, let by gones be by gones." Draco whispered smoothly into Ginny's ear.
"And what? You want to be friends?" Ginny laughed.
"Friends? Fuck buddies? Whatever you want to call it." Draco shrugged his shoulders.
"And what makes you think that I would ever want to do that?" Ginny laughed without humoragain.
"Listen I know that you're not a virgin. I'm sure that if Potter has any sense that he would have cured you of that by now. But it does seem like he's been ignoring your needs lately." Draco whispered. That was a knife to the heart. Of course he's been ignoring her needs he broke up with her. "Now if you want to keep your little fantasy world of the perfect couple with Potter, that'sen fine by me. All that I'm asking for is a little some thing else on the side." Draco whispered softly and pressed himself up against Ginny even more. Ginny could feel his member rubbing against her butt and from what Ginny could tell, it was rather large and it wasn't even hard. Ginny cursed her body for betraying her as she started to feel herself get a little wet.
"The answer is no Malfoy! Now get your hands off of me!" Ginny growled and wiggled herself free enough to turn around and to face Draco. Ginny has never been this close to Draco before and never was able to study his facial features, not until now. She never really noticed how soft his eyes were. She always thought of them to be cold as ice but theyn were actually more of a softer color blue. They were like a pool of water sitting in the sun during the summer with a hint of a twinkle. His jaw lines were quite strong and angler, but not in a harsh way, it was more like a rugged powerful way. His lips were a little pouty, more than a guys' lips would be and they had a hint of pink. In that instant Ginny had an urge to kiss him, just to know how his lips would feel against hers but she resisted and looked back up into his blue eyes. Draco suddenly lean in and Ginny froze, half of her wanted to push him away while the other half was curious of how this would all play out. Ginny didn't even notice that Draco's hand was cradling her head until he turned her head to the leftway and kissed the base of Ginny's neck. "What-What are you doing?" Ginny finally said as Draco's lips traveled up her neck.
"This my dear, is what we call four play." Draco whispered in a husky voice. "Don't tell me that Potter was so mean as to never do four play?" Draco asked.
"I know what four play is." Ginny hissed, at that Draco lightly tugged on her hair, exposing more of her neck to him. "I just don't know why you're doing it to me." Ginny whispered softly. She wanted to say it in more of an angry voice but she had lost all of her strength how.
"It doesn't sound like you mind me doing it at all." Draco said in a smooth voice as he reached her ear.
"I do mind. So stop it." Ginny said, now this time with more strength in her voice.
"Potter will be mad either way. You might as well get some more out of it while you still have the chance." Draco sighed.
"Shut-up! Get away from me!" Ginny growled and pushed Draco away.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk Weaslette I feel that if you're going to cheat. You might as well have as much fun as you can." Draco smiled as he licked his bottom lip.
"I did not cheat!" Ginny hissed and folded her arms across her chest.
"You might not think so. But Potter will look at it in that way." Draco smirked.
"Stop it." Ginny whispered.
"He will. Guys like him think that even a small kiss is the end of the world." Draco shrugged his shoulders.
"I said stop it!" Ginny yelled her eyes were burning with the tears that she was holding back.
"Aww what's wrong Weaslette? You don't want to imagine life without your Potty head?" Draco teased.
"Shut-up! We're not together anymore! He broke up with me! Your selfish twit!" Ginny yelled and before she knew it she slapped Draco across the face. Ginny couldn't believe it, she covered her mouth with her hands in shock at what she had just done. Draco just stood there and slowly turned his head back towards her to face her. There was a big red mark forming against this left cheek and he just glared at Ginny. "Malfoy I'm sorry. That was wrong me. I'm sorry." Ginny whispered through her hands.
"Come on." Draco whispered and nodded down the hall and he started to walk. He stopped as she realized that Ginny wasn't following him. He turned back around, "Come on." He urged. He didn't seem mad or angry, his eyes were back to being the soft blue as before. Against her better judgment Ginny started to walk towards Draco and followed him down the corridor.
"Where are we going?" Ginny finally asked after a long pause of silence.
"We are doing rounds, like we're supposed to do." Draco said plainly.
"Oh…together?" Ginny asked confused.
"If you don't mind." Draco said plainly again and kept walking, he didn't look at Ginny for a long time and Ginny was starting to think that this was a trick. "So how was your summer?" Draco asked abruptly as they stopped in front of some stairs. They were all moving and it's much easier to navigate them when they are all standing still.
"Ummm good until the end." Ginny answered slowly.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Draco nodded his head and did a fake cough before he started to climb the stairs. Ginny followed with no questions asked, but she was preparing herself for an ambush. "This is you first year as a prefect right?" Draco asked as they continued down the nexta corridor.
"Yeah." Ginny nodded and started to get a little less tense.
"So how was your first weekday of it?" He asked and smiled weakly at her.
"It was fine, Mom." Ginny rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Hey I'm just trying to make conversation. We can go back to silence if you want." Draco chuckled.
"I know. But really it was fine, nothing too crazy has happened yet." Ginny smiled. "How about your summer?" Ginny asked a little cautiously.
"It was horrible as usual." Draco answered bluntly.
"Really? I thought that you always go on trips?" Ginny asked a little shocked.
"Usually we do, but my father doesn't join us. However this year he made his presents known." Draco grumbled. Now Ginny was really confused. Draco Malfoy was speaking ill of his father, something that Ginny never thought that she would ever hear.
"Since when don't you get along with your father?" Ginny absent-mindedly asked. Draco suddenly stopped in his tracks and then turned towards Ginny.
"Not all of us are lucky enough to have a loving family Weaslette." Draco said calmly. Draco stared at Ginny for a little while and then raised his hand to her cheek. "When were you crying?" He asked as he whipped away some dried tear tracks.
"When was I what?" Ginny asked and backed away a little and whipped her face. She felt the tear tracks coming off, these days Ginny doesn't know when she's not crying so for her to pinpoint it wasn't that easy. "Ummm I think it was after I slapped you." Ginny said quietly. She didn't want to bring that part of the night up again since Draco was being so civil towards her.
"I don't remember that." Draco said shaking his head.
"Only two came down. I tend to cry a little when I get really mad." Ginny explained and blushed a little. Why in the world would she tell him that? "It's just a reaction. I don't know why I do it. It's not because I'm weak, I just get so mad sometimes that tears come out." Ginny added quickly.
"I don't think you're weak. Even if you did cry because your feelings were hurt by what I said." Draco whispered.
"Why are you being nice to me?" Ginny asked hesitantly.
"I could go back to being mean to you." Draco paused. "But neither of us would like that, now would we?" He added and dropped his hand from her cheek and started to walk again. Ginny didn't know why, but she had the feeling of butterflies in her stomach when Draco touched her skin. He was quit handsome when he was nice. Who was she kidding her was handsome even when he's being is mean. She was just more attracted to him when he was nice to her. Jezze Gin! That's why he's being nice to you. He realized that you don't like the rough and mean Draco like most girls and so he's being nice to you so that he can get in your pants! Ginny thought to herself as she followed Draco.
"Are you being nice to me, because you think that you'll have a better shot at me?" Ginny asked as they turned a corner.
"That would be a good idea." Draco laughed, "But no. I'm being nice to you because I respect you." Draco explained.
"Respect me!" Ginny said shocked and stopped in her tracks. Draco turned back towards her and smiled. "Why do you all of a sudden respect me?" Ginny asked.
"Because you actually stood up to me." Draco explained.
"I've done that plenty of times before and I never got your respect. And so have a bunch of other people!" Ginny yelled and marched right up to Draco until they were less than a foot hand away from each other. Ginny was beyond annoyed nowgetting mad now;. dDid he really think that she was a fool? Draco Malfoy doesn't respect anyone but himself and his father. Well from what Ginny knows from tonight maybe not his father, but definitely himself.
"No you have done it with fear backing you. When most people stand up to me, I can see their fear in their eyes. They are just waiting for me to cut them down again. But tonight you didn't show me any fear when you slapped me. All I saw was 'say that again and I won't even think twice of doing it again'." Draco smiled.
"I said sorry right after I did it." Ginny pointed out.
"Do you not want me to be nice to you or respect you? You seem unease by the idea of it." Draco asked confused.
"I don't need your respect to make me feel good. I'm just waiting for and looking for your other motive." Ginny explained and tried to shove him a little, but he barely moved and for a split second Ginny could feel how strong his chest was.
"Ginny there is no other motive." Draco laughed. A shiver went up Ginny's spine when he said her name. It wasn't that she was scare of him or shocked that he knew it. It actually turned her on. She had no idea why and she knew that he should be the last person in the world to turn her on. "You are a beautiful, smart, young girl who can take care of herself. You don't try to use your looks to get what you want and you don't need an annoying boyfriend to protect you from anything. What's not to respect?" Draco explained.
"An annoying boyfriend?" Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Is this because I'm not dating Harry anymore? I'm not dating your enemy and so you don't need to be mean to me anymore?" Ginny asked as she was getting pass annoyed and into angryeven madder.
"No." Draco shook his head. "This had nothing to do with Potter." Draco sighed. "Jeeze learn how to take a complement." Draco rolled his eyes.
"I know how to take a complement, just not from you." Ginny hissed.
"Well learn." Draco lean down and whispered into Ginny's ear.
"Merlin! What's with you tonight?" Ginny stepped away and again tried to push Draco away from her again. But it failed and she felt herself get a little little wet again, just by thinking of having his strong chest pressed up against her. "You've been acting so weird. I don't think I like it." Ginny shook her head and walked over to the wall and lean up against it as she kept an eye on Draco.
"Should I go back to being a total prat and start bitching about my shoes again?" Draco asked as he walked over towards her.
"That would make me feel better." Ginny nodded her head as she tried to hide a smile. "If this is how you truly are, then why do you act like a total prat?" Ginny asked.
"Keeping up appearances." Draco shrugged his shoulders and put his hands in his pockets casually. "Well besides Potter and your brother. I really do hate them. Their total pricks." Draco looked down and He grumbled..
"Well I can agree with you on that." Ginny giggled but then stopped when Draco looked up at her with his blue eyes. "What?" Ginny whispered when Draco didn't break eye contact with her.
"What happened between you and Potter, if you don't mind me asking." Draco asked softly.
"I actually do mind you asking." Ginny said a little coldly. "That's still a soft spot, sorry." Ginny apologized after she realized how curt she was.
"No, the apologies are all mine. I didn't mean to bring up bad feelings." Draco shook his head. "If you want to go, I brought you back around to the Gryffindor Tower." He added and nodded pointed behind himaround the corner. Ginny took a look around and he was right, Ginny knew exactly where she was. She wasn't did not paying attention on their rounds, she was too busy trying to figure out what Draco wantedDraco out.
"I have no reason to go." Ginny whispered softly and looked back over towards Dracoup at Draco. She wanted to kiss him or to have him to kiss her. She lied to herself and told her that it was just to see how his lips felt against hers' but she knew the truth. She liked this version of Draco, she even like the brooding version of Draco, but that didn't matter since neither version like her back. "So are we friends now?" Ginny asked confused.
"Yes, we're friends." Draco chuckled.
"Only friends." Ginny tried to clarify she didn't even realize that ed and she had moved closer to him until he smiled down at her.
"If that's what you want." Draco whispered smoothly.
"And what if I want something more?" Ginny asked slowly. Draco smiled down at her but still raised an eyebrow. "Still being friends of course." Ginny added. She knew that she didn't want to date him. No one dates Draco Malfoy, they are usually used by him. However this time it seems that Ginny might be using him for once. Draco leaned down to Ginny's ear.
"Again, if that's what you want." He whispered softly to her and brushed his lips against her cheek. Ginny's insides melted as his lips barely grazed hers as they passed by. She wanted to leap on him and do unimaginable things to him. This was a whole new side of Ginny, she never felt this way with Harry and she never expected to feel this way with anyone. Before Draco stood up straight again he stopped and looked Ginny in the eyes. Ginny's eye bounced back and forth from Draco's lips to his eyes. Draco smirked a little and leaned in more, but didn't allow their lips to touch. "Is this all I needed to do?" Draco whispered. "To be nice to you and you would have been putty in my hands?" He asked.
"Was that your plan this whole time?" Ginny whispered calmly. "To feed me the respect bullshit and then when I cave in, to reject me like I rejected you?" Ginny asked softly.
"That would have been a good plan. Too bad I didn't think of it myself. You know Ginny you have a mind of a Slytherin sometimes." Draco smirked warmly. Ginny's body quivered as her name slipped passed his lips. "Was that a shiver?" Draco asked as he brushed his fingertips up and down Ginny's arm.
"Would that help with your ego?" Ginny asked bluntly.
"Oooo and the tigeress is back." Draco purred. "I have to say that I missed you." He smirked as his hand came up to Ginny's cheek and cupped it.
"And I see that your arrogance is back." Ginny shot back.
"It's ok. You can admit to me that you missed it." Draco winked.
"To tell you the truth I did." Ginny admitted. "The nice guy act, gets old pretty quickly." She added.
"Oh, should I just stick with the asshole act when I'm around you then?" Draco scoffed.
"Just tone it down a little, but by all means don't lose it completely." Ginny smiled and bit her lower lip a little.
"Weaslette you are one of a kind you know that?" Draco chuckled. "What no shiver? I thought that it was whenever I address you." Draco raised an eyebrow.
"Don't hold your breath." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Oh I see how it is. It's not when I call you Weaslette is it?" Draco paused and leaned into her ear again. "It's when I call you Ginny." He whispered and a shiver went straight up Ginny's spine again. Her whole body felt it. Her knees started to become weak and at this point her panties were almost soaked just by the proximity of Draco's body to hers'. "Ah yes. Now I know what makes you tick." Draco smiled proudly of himself as his lips moved away from Ginny's ear and back to where they were before.
"And what makes you tick?" Ginny asked very suggestively.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Draco said.
"I think that I can find out on my own." Ginny smirked and licked her bottom lip. She watched as Draco's eyes watched her as she did it and then they returned to her eyes. "I do love a challenge." Ginny whispered.
"My dear little Weaslette. Arrogance looks good on you." Draco purred and pushed his body against Ginny's until they were pressed up against the wall. "A little too good for your own good." He said in a husky voice.
"Is this the point were I'm suppose to tell you no. Get off of me. And to stay away?" Ginny asked in a sultry voice.
"You're less of a tease than I expected." Draco grinned and rubbed his other hand up and down Ginny's lower back. "Now are you sure about this? Because once I have my eye on a prize, there's no going back." He whispered in a rugged voice.
"I think that your eye was already on me and you made your mind up long ago." Ginny breathed.
"Of course you know that I will still need to keep up my appearances." Draco warned her.
"And you don't think that I will also?" Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"I think that we are going to have fun Weaslette." Draco growled before his lips met with Ginny's in a rough kiss. Ginny's body was reeling within Draco's arms. She couldn't believe that she was actually kissing Draco Malfoy and liking it. Draco's hands roamed Ginny's body and then simultaneously both of his hand grabbed Ginny's butt and started to inch their way under her skirt. Ginny slightly pushed Draco away, this time she was able to since he wasn't expecting it. "Weaslette I warned you." Draco said out of breath.
"I know. But I never agreed to give it up that easily." Ginny smiled wickedly. "Good night Malfoy." Ginny said as slipped by him and started to walk toward the Gryffindor Tower.
"I think not." Draco shook his head and grabbed Ginny's arm.
"Malfoy I will warn you only once about this." Ginny growled as she whirled around and wrench her hand out of his. "Don't you ever try to force yourself on me or that will be the last thing that you will do. When I say enough is enough, then let it be." Ginny hissed.
"Alright Weaslette you have stated your ground rules." Draco smiled almost proudly at Ginny. "All that I can do is honor them. But you do know what the end result will be. Between you and I." Draco said.
"Yes of course I do. But it is up to me to when that will actually take place." Ginny stated as a matter-of-fact.
"You know I've never been told what I can't have." Draco told Ginny.
"There's a first time for everything." Ginny shrugged her shoulders as she was about to walk away again.
"And what? No good-night kiss?" Draco said in a smooth voice.
"I suppose that I could grant you that one wish." Ginny said turning back and walked over to Draco.
"You're the one who's granting me wishes?" Draco raised an eyebrow.
"I wasn't the one who asked for a good night kiss now was I?" Ginny said in a cocky manner.
"Can you always be this feisty? I definitely like it." Draco whispered as he leaned in.
"Only if you say, pretty please." Ginny whispered in a seductive voice.
"And I kind of like you bossing me around." Draco smiled as he was about to kiss Ginny, but Ginny dodge the kiss.
"I didn't hear you say pretty please." Ginny whispered. Draco chuckled and grabbed onto Ginny's waist and pulled her close to his body.
"Ginny." Draco paused as he felt the shiver radiate from Ginny's body. "Will you pretty please be this sexy the next time that I get to meet with you?" Draco asked roughly and leaned his forehead against Ginny's.
"Well when you say it like that." Ginny whispered and rubbed her hands up Draco's chest. She knew now that her panties were definitely soaked through. Draco lifted up Ginny's chin and gave her a passionate kiss. He pulled her hips into his and Ginny felt his hard member rubbing up against her. "You should really do something about that. It seems like it could be painful." Ginny whispered as she grazed her hand over Draco's member.
"You can be a real bitch." Draco growled. "A sexy as hell bitch, but a bitch." He added as he pulled Ginny back into another deep kiss and grabbed her ass again.
"Easy tiger. Save something for later." Ginny smiled as she pulled away from Draco. "Good night Malfoy." She called behind her as she rounded the corner and headed towards the fat lady portrait.
