Chapter 10- Revelations
Draco's POV
I helped Ginny off the train and into one of the horseless carriages. We were drawing many stares from our fellow schoolmates but Ginny was oblivious, I had my arm around her and was guiding her that's how out of it she was. I almost took her over to the Slytherin table but I knew the trio, not to mention my fellow Slytherins, would kill me. So I let her go at the door to the Great Hall.
"Are you sure you can make it to your table?"
"Sure…I'll be fine," her voice was so weak I could barely bear (bare) to pull myself away from her, but I had to.
"I'll see you after the feast Gin."
"Yeah…after the feast," she was totally out of it. But what I was most worried about was how the Trio was going to react. I couldn't help her if she was in the common room and because of that I was nervous.
After a particularly uneventful feast where the Trio didn't try anything, much to my surprise, and I ignored Pansy, the whore, I met Ginny outside the doors to the Great Hall. We didn't get our Head's dorm until next month so she had to spend "quality" time with her fellow Gryffindors. I, however, had gotten my own room a while back so I was fine.
"Do you want to spend the night in my rooms Gin? They're not part of the Slytherin common room they're exclusively mine." After seeing the look she gave me I hastened to say, "Not to do anything, just for your safety, you can't seriously tell me you're thinking about spending the night in the same section of the castle as Potter, can you? I couldn't bare (bear) it if anything happened to you, especially if Potter's the one that causes it."
"Draco, I'll have to face them sometime."
"Yes, but…oh alright. But please, be careful. If you need me for any reason my rooms are the painting of the dragon next to the entrance to the kitchens. The password is 'Pureblood'." I saw the shadow of a smirk on her face when I said that.
"Alright, but don't expect me, I can handle it."
I leaned in for a good-night kiss which I meant to be gentle and caring, but something about her made it turn passionate and wanting. She was just so perfect. I couldn't contain myself.
When we finally broke away she said, "We should go otherwise we'll be here all night."
"Is that such a problem?" When she shook her head I thought that she was saying, no it wasn't such a problem.
"Good night Draco."
"Good night love," with that I turned away and went to my rooms where I lay down for a very restless night of worrying.
Two hours after falling asleep I was awoken by the sound of the painting sliding and someone crawling into my bed.
"Whoozat? Pansy? Pansy, if that's you, I swear…" I was cut off abruptly by a small, wet hand being clapped over my mouth.
"Shhhh, Draco, it's just me, it's Ginny. Don't worry, I just…" she broke off sobbing. I flipped on the light and gasped.
"Oh my god, Ginny!"
Ginny's POV
I was in my own world, reliving all the bad moments in my "relationship" with Harry.
/Flashback/
I was pulled back into an empty classroom.
"Hey Harry, are you fancying some before lunch snogging?" I laughed, but my laughter was cut short by the look in his eyes.
"No, Ginerva, I need more then snogging! And you're going to fulfill my every desire!"
"Harry, no, I'm not ready!" I screamed as he began tearing my clothes off me. I was abruptly slapped hard across the face.
"Shut up bitch and give me what I want or I swear I'll make you regret that you didn't just comply with me in the first place…"
/End Flashback/
I was vaguely aware of a hand around my waist, guiding me into the carriages, and through the doors of the castle. All of a sudden, I was jerked out of my memories by Draco's soft voice.
"Are you sure you can make it to your table?" He sounded so caring I wanted to cry. He was my rock, my sanctuary.
"Sure…I'll be fine," my words sounded hollow and fake even to me.
"I'll see you after the feast Gin."
"Yeah…after the feast," if I survived that long. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sure to set into me about the whole Draco thing but they wouldn't actually harm me in the Great Hall would they?
'No,' said the little voice in my head, 'they'll wait until no one's around. Don't ever be alone with them, especially Harry.'
'Thank you mother. Now if you don't mind I have a feast to get to.'
During the entire feast Draco was watching over me which made me feel a little better. If they did try anything he would be there to rescue me in a flash. I would occasionally steal glances at him too, as if to reassure myself he was still there, still being my guardian angel. I didn't really hear the speech Dumbledore gave but I heard loud and clear the comments that the Trio (well mainly Ron) was throwing at me.
"You're such a whore! Malfoy! What, is he like, paying you to sleep with him? You're a disgrace to the Weasley name!"
I suddenly remembered on the way out of the hall that we didn't get our Head's dorm until next month so I would have to sleep in the 7th year Gryffindor dorms with Hermione.
'Oh no,' I groaned to myself, 'Harry knows how to get up to the girl's dorms. God I'm screwed! Damn Granger and her flipping cleverness!' I almost broke down crying but then I saw Draco's blue eyes searching the hall for me. When he saw me, he broke out in a smile that lit up his entire face. I approached him and he enfolded me in his arms.
"Do you want to stay in my rooms tonight Gin? They're not part of the Slytherin common room they're exclusively mine."
Was he suggesting what I thought he was? Was he actually trying to sleep with me after a less then 24 hour relationship? After my past? Was I just another notch in his bedpost? Some of my disbelief must have shown on my face because he quickly reworded what he was saying.
"Not to do anything, just for your safety, you can't seriously tell me you're thinking about spending the night in the same section of the castle as Potter, can you? I couldn't bare (bear) it if anything happened to you, especially if Potter's the one that causes it."
I could tell he really meant it; that this wasn't just some ploy to get me to sleep with him.
"Draco, I'll have to face them sometime."
Oh how I wanted to just go back to his dorm with him and hide from all the pain. But then I imagined how Ron and the rest of the Gryffindors would react when we walked into the Great Hall together after me not showing up for bed last night. I guess he was picturing it too.
"Yes, but…oh alright. But please, be careful. If you need me for any reason my rooms are the painting of the dragon next to the entrance to the kitchens. The password is 'Pureblood'."
I felt a smirk coming on and I had to hide it. He was so predictable! 'Pureblood' I ask you…
"Alright, but don't expect me, I can handle it."
He leaned in for a good night kiss which started out tender and loving but I could tell once again that he was holding back for my benefit. But I didn't want him to hold back and I let him know that so our kiss turned passionate and lustful. I knew that regardless of what had happened in my past with Harry, if I went to Draco's rooms with him I would do something I shouldn't. So I broke away because if we continued kissing like this I would go to his rooms.
"We should go otherwise we'll be here all night."
"Is that such a problem?" He was SO exasperating but totally irresistible, not to mention that he had a point. Would it be such a problem? I shook my head, and in doing so cleared it.
"Good night Draco."
"Good night love."
As soon as I stepped into the Gryffindor common room I put myself on the alert for anyone of the Trio but they were nowhere to be seen. I slowly climbed the steps to my dormitory.
'That's funny, there's no one in here.' Shrugging it off, I got into my pyjamas and opened the hangings around my four poster bed. I let out a gasp; sitting on my bed was Harry with an evil and lustful look on his face.
"Do you know what I do to little girls who break up with me and then whore themselves to my enemies?"
I didn't know but I had a feeling I was about to find out.
About 2½ hours later, after Harry had had his way with me, I found myself stumbling into Draco's rooms and sliding into bed next to him, just wanting him to comfort me.
"Whoozat? Pansy? Pansy, if that's you, I swear…" I cut him off with my hand over his mouth.
"Shhhh, Draco, it's just me, it's Ginny. Don't worry, I just…" I couldn't go on, I broke down sobbing as he turned on the light and gasped.
"Oh my god, Ginny!"
