A/N Hello again, here is another chapter, still looking for help like I mention before. Enjoy!
Ginny's P.O.V.
I sit next to the couch cleaning Draco Malfoy's wounds. I never thought I would find myself in this situation. I still can't believe that Dad did this to him. Draco will almost certainly have a black eye, he has a busted lip, he also has a cut on his fore head he will be bruised in other places as well. I have no idea how he got the cut, but regardless, I sit here cleaning it with a wet wash cloth. I could technically heal it in a second with magic, but it wouldn't be a good idea. Our neighbors saw Draco's face before Brad closed the door and I body binded my dad. If I heal it with magic the neighbors will get suspicious. I finish cleaning the cut. I put the cloth in my lap. I stare at Draco for a moment, and suddenly a little voice in the back of my head tells me to do something, I barely process it but find my self obeying. I lean over and raise my head toward his I gently kiss his lips, they are soft and warm, words I never would have used to describe him before. My head spins, kissing him is amazing. And I thought Harry was a good kisser. I pull back. As amazing as it is, I don't want to go any further, or give Draco the wrong idea.
"Ginny that was-" He starts, but I cut him off
"-a mistake." I say tears running down my face. I quickly leave the living room, and go to my room.
I am so confused. I shouldn't have kissed Draco. But I don't regret it either. He is not good for me. Yet so perfect. What is wrong with me? I yearn to lean back against the door, pull my knees to my chest, and sob. Or to curl up on my bed without help. I want out of my chair so badly, I want to get up and run. Run away. Far away and forget this ever happened. I wish Ron was alive to come take Draco away and beat him. I want my life back. But it won't happen. I will be in my chair for months. It will be even longer until I can run. And Ron is never coming back. I sob.
Draco's P.O.V.
I go to Ginny's room a while later. I knock on the door, but get no reply. I go in. I find her asleep in her chair. I pull off her jeans, and put her in a pair of comfortable looking shorts. I lay her down on her bed, and leave the room, after turning out the lights, I close the door. Our kiss was amazing, well short and soft, it was magic. But I know it is too soon for her. I need to take it slow. I go to bed myself and try to come up with a plan.
Ginny's P.O.V.
I wake up in bed the next morning I am also in a pair of my most comfortable shorts. Draco. He is an angel, and a devil. I chuckle to myself. It was nice that he put me in bed, but he knows that those are my favourite pants and that I can sleep in them no problem. At least he put the shorts on me. I see that it is eleven already. I pull my hair into a pony tail so it ill get out of my face, and head for the kitchen. I am surprised to see that Draco went ahead and made breakfast.
"Good morning Ginny." He says as he hand me my plate of poached eggs and sausage, as well as toast, and fruit.
"Draco, I knew you could follow directions but I didn't know you could actually cook!" I say avoiding the topic of what happened last night
"Mother, made me learn, when I was younger it was actually fantasizing, I just fell out of it when I went to Hogwarts." He smiles sheepishly.
"How long are you working today?" I ask, still avoiding that topic.
"I'm not."
"Well then neither of us are doing anything today." I say.
"Yes we are."
"What?" I ask.
"My mother wants you to come to tea." He says
"That is a little short notice." I say. I have no problem with it but want to see how he reacts. His face grows a look of panic. He struggles to speak obviously feeling stupid.
"Draco, I am joking. It would be lovely." I say, trying not to laugh. "Now how elaborate will this tea be?" I ask knowing from news paper articles how lavish they can get.
"um, I don't know it will only be us, and maybe my aunt Andromeda and Teddy." He shrugs as we munch on our food.
"I know what I'll wear." I say as I finish.
"What time should we be there?" I ask.
"Two."
"Ok. I got time." I say, mostly to myself.
I finish my breakfast, and then take a shower. The shower helps me clear my head. I will just tell Draco that the kiss was a mistake and we need to slow down. I turn the water off, and leave the shower. I put on my robe and decide to try to changes chairs myself. I am doing good until I place my hand where it is wet. I fall on the ground.
"Ginny? That didn't sound good." Draco says
"Help." I say giving in. Draco comes in and helps me into the right chair. I get dressed. I decide to wear a sun dress that I bought a couple of weeks back. The top is off white, and the material sort of wraps around my chest. There is a dark brown, leather belt at my waist, the bottom is medium blue with a pretty floral pattern. I braid my hair to the side and put on black ballet flats. When Draco is ready I grab my jean jacket and he helps me back up into our large fire place, that he put spelled so it would be large enough, he stepped in and we went together. Otherwise the wards would kill me. We arrive.
"This is the formal sitting room." Draco says as we step out and dust our self's off. We move through the manor slowly so I can take the whole house in. "There's a total of 30 bedrooms. Including the servants quarters, the house is about 150,000 square feet." He says.
"Wow. You could get lost in here." I say, it is full of all kinds of old art work. It is breath taking.
"Hello Draco, Ginevra." Says Mrs. Malfoy
"Ginny, please." I say
"Ginny. Call me Narcissa."
"Narcissa." I nod
"Come, Andromeda and Teddy are here." Narcissa says, and we follow. I am suddenly reminded of how long it's been when Teddy walks up to me and says
"More cookie?" he asks with a pleading face.
"Teddy, you've had enough cookies." Andromeda says.
"Cookie." he says in the saddest tone. Me and Draco take our seats. Teddy continues hoping I will give him more cookies. I give in and hand him one, but tell him no more. He instantly trusts me and climbs on to my lap.
"Teddy, you need to ask to sit on her lap."
"Sit?" He asks
"Yes you can sit." I smile back at him.
We have a good time. I think that it helped to have Andromeda and Teddy there. Narcissa isn't happy about what happen to Draco. Me and Draco end up staying for dinner. We then head home.
"Draco?" I say once we are home.
"Yes?" He asks
"About last night, well the kiss was amazing, it was a mistake. We need to slow things down. Take a step back."
"I understand. I have been rushing things a bit. I will give you all the time you need. I only want you to be happy." He says
"Thank you." I say. There is then a knock on the door. I answer it
"Fred! George!" I say
"How badly has he poisoned you?" Fred says
"Who poisoned me?" I ask
"The asshole your living with!" George says
"He hasn't poisoned me, and he is not an asshole." I say defending him.
"Then explain to me why you went out with him!" Fred says.
"Or why you went to the manor with him!" George says
"He asked me on both occasions, and I agreed on both occasions!"
"Ginny, what going on?" Draco says coming you behind me.
"You! What have you done to her?!" Fred says
"Nothing! I haven't done anything to her!" Draco says
"Sure you haven't!" They both scream. They try to reach over me and punch him. I pull out my wand.
"I'll do my Bat Bogey hex, on anyone who tries punches someone else!" I say. The twins retreat.
"Draco hasn't done anything to me. Let me make that very clear, in fact." I send a patronous to the whole family that says for everyone to meet at the burrow in 10 minutes. I floo over as it is actually unsafe for me to apparate.
"Ginny dear what's happening?" Mum says, she only gets more confused when everybody else stats arriving.
Once all the boys and Mum sitting or standing in the living room I start.
"I called you all here because I want to make something very clear. Yes. Me and Draco have gone out. Yes. I was at the Malfoy Manor today. Yes. I might like Draco. But, that is my business! And I would appreciate it if you all would stop showing up at my door ready to punch Draco's lights out! He has not poisoned me! He has not cursed me! I am acting on my own choices! And I would appreciate if you all would stay out of my love life!" I finish
"Ginny, we are just trying to protect you." Fred says
"Why? Because I am in a wheelchair? Because I am a girl? Because I am the youngest? Because you all think you know better than me?" I say, getting pissed off even more with every second
"Because your our little sister and we want to make sure your not being taken advantage of because you can't exactly run away." George says
"That is offensive on SO MANY levels." I say with a pissed smile on my face
"We just want to protect you." Charlie says
"Well last night when Dad was trying to 'protect' me, he only made things worse." I say
"How?" Percy asks
"Well he started yelling and screaming at Draco and started punching him. Because muggles saw Draco being punched before the door was closed, we couldn't heal him with magic, I cleaned his wounds and then I kissed him, and I wasn't ready to do that."
"You kissed him?" Bill asked
"Yes." I say
"But you weren't ready?" Charlie half asks, half states
"No, I wasn't. Your guys's actions are causing me more problems. I can protect myself and if I need help I can send a patronous in however long it takes me to say my message. Watch." I show them all how I have been carrying my wand discreetly since I was attacked.
"Ok, you can take care of yourself." Fred says
"We are sorry Ginny. Right Freddie?" George says
"Very sorry."
"Unless anyone else has anything I think everyone can go." I say
Mum says goodbye to all the boys then hands me a letter.
"It came yesterday. I didn't open it." She says. I quickly open it.
Ginny,
I am sorry for how I acted after the war. If your want, I could come back, I'd probably have to crash at your place for a few days, but I wouldn't be there for long. How is quitdditch? I hear the Holy Head Harpies are doing really well, might take the cup. How have you been? Anything new? I really do miss you. If you want we could be couple again. I was a bloody, fucking, stupid walking away from everything. I look forward to your reply. I hope to see you soon.
Harry
