Author's Note: This is obviously Ginny/Draco and Draco is a half-vampire. If you don't like that, then don't read this fic. Also, I tweaked some things to my advantage, so...please don't complain. Thank you. :)
Chapter 1: A Cup Of Coffee
Ginny Weasley sat in her office, along with the other Aurors up and down the hall, at the Ministry of Magic. Her fiery red hair was pulled up into a messy bun and she was currently pouring over a pile of papers. Her creamy skin, usually glowing with youthfulness, was now dull and tired looking. At the age of 20, her dedication to her work was inspiring. She would spend countless hours in her office, giving her complete attention to each case she was assigned. This case, however, was going to be a slightly more…challenging one.
She gave a flustered sigh, tossing some papers aside.
"You want some coffee…or tea?" William poked his head into her office; his chocolate brown hair flopping into his blue eyes.
Ginny rubbed her eyes, groaning. "Coffee would be great, thanks…"
William saluted and disappeared.
She had been here at the ministry for over 20 hours and still didn't have everything she wanted in the group called the Blood Red Orchids.
The group had been a masquerade of blood sucking vampires. Known for their intolerance of muggles, they only sought them as their prey; leaving behind blood stained orchids in their wake…They attacked only at night (a real shocker there) and seemed to have no real motives behind their attacks; unless you count hunting for food…
Ginny gave a small shudder. The feeling of having your blood drawn out of you did not entirely appeal to her…
"Here's your coffee!" William came bouncing in, his boyish features alit with enthusiasm.
Ginny gave a grateful nod, taking the cup of steaming hot coffee.
"Black, just how you like it" he beamed.
She took a sip, glancing up at him. "How can you be so perky? It's 2 in the morning…" she asked dryly.
William's smile faltered. "I-I've only been here for 7 hours Mrs. Weasley."
Ginny blinked. "How many times have I told you to call me Ginny? I'm only 20!"
William, being only 17 and fresh out of Hogwarts, gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry…"
Ginny shook her head, smirking. "It's okay…Being stuck here for 20 hours isn't exactly making me the nicest person around…"
"May I suggest some sleep then Mrs. Wea-Ginny?" he added quickly.
Ginny looked around at her desk; covered in papers with stacks of books made her feel cluttered. She really should get home…
"Maybe"
"Maybe?"
"Am I speaking Latin?"
"No…"
William got up. "I best be off then…Papers to file, you know…" Only an intern at the moment, he didn't have much time to waste. And she wasn't in the most cheerful of moods either…
"See ya Will. Thanks again for the coffee." Ginny nodded goodbye, feeling a bit guilty.
William smiled, backing out and almost running into Ernest Fleming.
"Merlin, watch where you're going McKenzie!" bellowed Fleming.
William, apologizing profusely, slinked away.
Ernest Fleming peered into Ginny's office. "You're still here Weasley?!"
Ginny, taking another sip of coffee, merely nodded.
"Well, get home! I can't have people falling asleep around here! Christ!" he said, flapping his big, beefy arms around; his enormous belly shaking and his balding head shining in the artificial light.
"Yes sir." Ginny mumbled, setting the half-empty coffee cup down. She hadn't been falling asleep, but…she needed to get away. Fleming stocked out, shouting at a timid looking intern.
Ginny sighed, gathering her things and heading off towards the Atrium. Her soft, little bed in her small flat sounded quite inviting right about now.
I know, short. The next one will be longer. This was kind of a testing chapter.
Anywho, I hope you liked the first chapter; the next one will feature Draco. I'll try and get the next chapter in by the end of the week, but until then feel free to leave a friendly review. ;)
LOVE,
Silver
