The Forced Marriage
Chapter 8
You Love Me?
By: Hypothetical S.F
Draco ran over to where Ron and Harry was holding Ginny and took her from them. He held her bridal style and she cuddled into his chest. Draco looked up at his father who slightly nodded and Draco apparated back to the manor.
Draco carried Ginny up to his room and laid her down on the bed. He slowly removed her clothes until she was just in her undergarments. He then gently wiped all of her cuts and bruises with a warm rag from the basin of water that one of the house elves left. He dressed her in a pair of his boxers and one of his white undershirts. He noticed that she had drifted off to sleep so he held her and whispered to her.
Ginny POV
I laid there acting like I was asleep not wanting to talk to Draco at the moment. I felt him move me to where I was resting on his chest and he was holding me stroking my hair.
"I don't know what I would've done if I would've lost you today Gin. I usually don't let people get close to me. The Malfoy way, you know. God Gin, what are you doing to me? I'm falling in love with you and I don't know what to do. I don't even know if you feel the same as I do. Far as I know, I could be setting myself up for a major heartbreak. I just can't lose you, Gin."
I felt the tears welling up in my eyes and looked up at Draco. "Draco. . . " I whispered
Startled Draco looked down at me and said "how much of that did you hear?"
Instead of answering him, I leaned up on my forearms and kissed him. Draco sat shocked for a moment before gently kissing me back.
"I think I'm falling in love with you too, Draco. I'm sorry for earlier, I, I didn't mean t to upset you. I just. . ."
"Shhhh Gin, it's already forgotten. I'm just so glad you're safe."
"Hold me Draco."
"Always Gin."
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Ok readers I am so sorry for the long overdue update. I plan on finishing this story by Labor Day (US) so I'm not worrying about it for my Senior year.
For all of those who were confused by the last chapter, let me attempt to clarify.
Ginny knew that Draco would try to blame Harry for Ginny disapearing, therefore getting him in trouble with the law. So by Ginny attempting to look like she had been mugged by a muggle, then Harry wouldn't be to blame. It would just be let go.
Hope that helps.
Love Always,
Ashley
