Chapter Seven

Full House

Draco flicked the card out and looked at it. Page of Swords.

"I don't think I understand Tarot," he said.

"You don't have to," Ginny said, taking the card and the deck from him.

"Do you?"

She shuffled the cards. "A little. I know the basic meanings for most of the cards. Why don't you ask Gloria?"

Draco winced. The Seventh precinct was spending the week at their headquarters. The Seventh precinct was larger than their own precinct, the Ninth. Gloria Vanderbilt was the head of the Seventh precinct and Ginny joked that Gloria had a crush on Draco.

Which she probably did, but Draco wasn't up to dealing with that.

He had more important things to deal with. Like the pretty redhead sitting across from him.

"What if I asked you?"

"Hmm?" she said, clearly distracted.

"If I asked you kindly, would you read my cards?"

She looked up at him. "Fine. I can't promise how accurate it would be."

He smiled at her.

Ginny shuffled the cards and handed them to him to cut. He cut them and handed them back.

Ginny set down three cards, face down then flipped the first one over. "This one stands for your past."

"What card is that?"

"The Tower. This one is inverted."

He looked at it and saw it was upside down and that rightside up it probably looked a tower. "So what does it mean?"

"Inverted like this? The tower basically stands for change of a sudden nature that's out of your control."

Draco sighed. "Sounds about right."

She glanced at him then flipped the middle card. "The middle card stands for the present."

"And that is?" he asked, looking at the card.

"The seven of wands. It stands for successful advancement. Sounds right to me too."

Draco looked at it. It sure did sound right. He was the second in command here which he was happy with.

"So that one is the future?" He asked, pointing to the last card.

She nodded, flipping the card over. "The Lovers."

He leered at her.

"Stop it. The Lovers don't necessarily mean love. They stand for difficult decisions, sometimes about love."

Draco looked down. Difficult decisions. That sounded right too.

He looked up at her. Yeah, things were definitely going to be difficult in the decision realm.

(A/N: Another kinda short chapter but I think you'll forgive me. Anyway, I don't want to jinx myself, but it looks like I might be getting back to an update schedule. And we all know what that means: NEW FICS! well, just one for now.
