Chapter Four
The morning sunshine was definitely welcome when it lit upon Ginny's face. This was probably the first time she had woken up and enjoyed the morning since this Harry problem started. Ever since then, he had been haunting her dreams and keeping her up late at night avoiding the inevitable. She hated Harry for the troubles he was causing her and the pain he was putting her through.
Because of him, she couldn't contact her family; she hadn't been in contact with her family ever since Harry started showing his possessiveness. For once, in a very long time, she felt safe waking up, even if she was waking up in a strange house.
Just thinking of the house brought last nights occurrences back to her. Meeting up with Draco Malfoy surprised the heck out of her, especially when he showed up in his jet-black 4 x 4 with his expensive clothes and Texan style. She couldn't believe she found Draco Malfoy in TEXAS! Who would have thought that the prestigious Malfoy would seek refuge as a cowboy?
Getting up out of the comfortable bed, Ginny limped towards the chair that held some of the clothing and the cane Natalia had brought for her. She picked out a brown suede skirt that should have been a mini, but it reached her knees. She finished the outfit with a cotton white sweater and her own shoes. She went into the bathroom and had to make-do with what little she had, brushing her teeth, applying the little make-up she had in her purse, which was only some light pink lipstick and some light eye shadow, and pulling the tangles from her hair. Over all she did pretty well considering what she had.
Stepping out of her room, with the cane in hand, Ginny wasn't quite sure exactly where to go. Her room was located on the right side of the long hallway where a number of other doors stood next to it. If only she would have been watching where Draco was taking her, instead of the pain shooting through her leg. The sun's rays were poking through the curtains at the end of the hall showing an open door. Not sure where to go, she headed for the door, peeking inside to check whose it belonged to. From the looks of it, it was probably a guest bedroom, with very little knickknacks in it. Oh well, she thought, I better get going, but a glance at the large window on her side stopped her from her departure. As odd as it was, the blizzard that hit yesterday was no where in sight, not leaving any snow behind to indicate that there was a blizzard. Strange.
"Ginny?!" Calling for Ginny and walking up the stairs, Natalia found her in the extra guest bedroom staring out of the window. For a minute she thought she was having delusions of something, because of the way she kept staring out of the window, but when Ginny acknowledged the fact that Natalia was here, she turned with a bright smile plastered on her beautiful face.
"Breakfast is all ready downstairs hun.um, you alright?" Natalia asked as she stepped forward to help Ginny walk out of the room.
"What? Oh yes, well, I just found it strange how such a large blizzard could leave no trace of its being here. Don't you find that a little strange?"
"Actually, I did wonder why there wasn't any snow left. I wanted to go out and run in it, considering we never have that much snow down here, But it just disappeared!" With Ginny watching her, as if asking her to continue on, she finished off with "well, I asked Draco about it, and he said that the Texas heat must have caught up with the snow in the middle of the night and melted it while we were sleeping."
With that said, they both moved towards the door, and Ginny couldn't help but think that that snowstorm had something to do with Harry. Putting those worries behind her for now, Ginny hung on to Natalia's arm, asking "so, what's for breakfast?"
**************************************************************************** **********
Draco was heading back in from feeding the horses when he came to the conclusion that all that snow had something to with Ms. Virginia Weasley. He'd almost thought it was magic, but the magic rate here in Texas was at a low point. That's one of the reasons why he came here. Weasley. It's almost as if he should remember that name from somewhere. It was hard to remember much, after he left London, and for some reason it was like someone had hit him over the head with a bat. Everything was always so hazy.
Looking ahead of him, he saw that he had reached the door, and as he entered the large foyer, he saw Natalia helping Virginia down the large staircase. He heard Maria calling for Natalia to set the table, so Draco decided to step in and help Virginia down the stairs.
Natalia whispered thanks, and ran down the stairs, leaving Ginny to hold on to Draco's arm as if she was some ninny, helplessly inlove. And that was definitely not the case. He went slower than usual and held on to her waist as if she may fall if she loses her balance. It was strange, because she could feel his hand burning through the cotton sweater. It made her go all scatterbrained, and that just annoyed her, because she hated to feel useless.
Draco noticed her unusual lose for words, and turned to look at her. She looked to serene and beautiful in such simple clothes a little makeup. With her hair pulled up into a ponytail, all he wanted to do was pull that ponytail out and play with the silky strands of hair that would curl at the tips. I wonder what it would be like. Wow Draco, heading into dangerous waters! He needed to keep his mind off Ginny in that manner and keep her in a friendly manner. With that in mind, he moved in for a nice chat.
"So, how was your morning Ms. Virginia", he asked with genuine interest.
Startled, Ginny turned to see Draco staring at her with a warm, friendly smile on his lips. It was the question itself that startled her, because the old Draco Malfoy she knew, would never ask anyone how their morning went.
"Um, actually it was fine, I had a good nights sleep. One that I haven't had in ages!"
They stopped halfway down the stairs and he turned again to face her, "you don't get a good nights sleep? Why's that?"
Feeling, for some odd reason as if she was trapped, she quickly stammered out a response telling him that she was a light sleeper and most noises wake her up.
Feeling as if he got a decent answer, they continued down the stairs at the same, slow pace as before. His hand was still holding Ginny by the waist in a protective manner, and Draco liked the way she felt beneath his hand. She felt soft, warm, inviting.
"Draco!" Ginny gasped as she missed a step and nearly ended up tumbling down the large staircase. Lucky for her, Draco had fast reflexes and caught her right before she fell. He grabbed her fully around the waist, muttering a few curses, he heaved her into his arms and walked down the stairs with her hanging on to his neck, yelling at him and telling him she could walk the rest of the way. But Draco didn't want to let her go just yet, not only because he was still concerned for her safety, but also because he liked the way she felt. "God dammit Draco! Put me down!" she yelled, and surprised when he took her into a cozy little kitchen with an attaching dining room. With the sight of such a warm, homey room, the protests died down in her throat.
Draco walked in, and found Maria at the stove and Natalia setting the table. Maria looked shocked to see him carrying in their guest, but all Natalia did was smile and asked if Ginny wanted some coffee or juice.
He put her down in one of the comfy chairs next to the window, and went to sit in the opposite chair facing her. Ginny wondered what he was up to, when he asked her if she would like a piece of Maria's famous spicy omelet, she could just smell it and decided to treat herself to a good breakfast, with a very handsome man she was afraid to harbor feeling's for.
She didn't know if she could ever trust a man again after what Harry did. It was because of him, she wondered if any man would actually, truly love her, and that only added to the hatred she felt for Harry.
**************************************************************************** **********
After breakfast, Draco and Natalia took Ginny out to the barn to see some of their beautiful breeds. Natalia pointed out that she wasn't as strong as Draco was, and Ginny found herself walking to the barn held up by the strong man beside her, and Natalia leading the way, telling her some of the stories of the past with the horses.
Once they got in the barn, Ginny gasped at the magnificent horse that greeted her. It was a black stallion, whose glossy coat gleamed in the sunlight. She wondered what it was like to ride a horse at full speed, leaving her worries behind and enjoying the wind billowing through her hair. If only.
As if reading her mind, Draco asked her in that southern accent, if she wanted to go for a quick ride on Sabastien.
Natalia wasn't up to the idea at first, considering Ginny's foot, but once she came up with the idea that Draco would ride with her, she quickly brought out her own steed and climbed on to him, waiting for the other two to hurry up.
Draco lifted Ginny in his arms, and heaved her up onto the already harnessed horse. With her seated carefully, he climbed up behind her and the three of them headed off at a slow trot.
Ginny had to admit, it was painful at first for her foot, but once she got used to it, she marveled at the beauty around her and the magnificence the held her there. She loved the way the air felt upon her skin as they headed into a faster pace, and for a few moments, the worries of her complicated life were left behind.
Draco didn't know how he got himself into this, but once he was there, riding with this beautiful women infront of him, he felt carefree again and he could actually smell the fragrance from the long strands of Virginia's glorious red hair. He held her close, afraid he would fall, and the close contact was literally killing him.
Fifteen minutes later, while they were still riding, Draco and the rest of them saw Doc come out of his white car. He saw Natalia, and waved, but when he caught sight of Ginny, he nearly had a fit. He came up closer as they drew nearer, for all of them to hear, "Draco Malfoy, you ass, what the hell do you think you're doin' with my patient, galloping across the fields when you know she has a sprained! What the hell where you thinking, get her down! Good morning Natalia, Ms. Virginia, how's you foot, better I hope?"
He and Natalia walked her up to the house after Draco helped her down, leaving him to scowl in the Doc's wake.
Note: What happens when Ginny tells Draco about Harry later on? Will the romance blossom, or will Draco finally learn who Ginny really is and what she is? What happens when Harry shows up!!?? Read on to find out what happens, I promise you it'll be great!
Thanx for all the reviews! I'm Glad most of you like the story. Sorry if I haven't updated in a while, my internet got disabled, and I finally got it back!! Yay! Well I'll update soon. Thanx again.
