10. The Feel Good Drag

Everyone in this town

is seeing somebody else

Everybody's tired of someone

our eyes wander for help

Prayers that need no answer now

I'm tired of who I am

You were my greatest mistake

I fell in love with your sin

Your littlest sin

"Your girlfriend is seriously going to be the death of me," Draco mumbled to Blaise as he watched the blonde girls smile and pet each other. He wasn't sure how to react seeing as half of him was telling his wand to kill the girl while the other half wanted to know why Lilith was here at all.

"Not if I kill her first," Blaise grumbled, watching with a close eye. His chocolate orbs danced across Lilith, watching every movement, making sure she didn't suddenly go for her want behind her ear. She looked so much like Luna, seemed so much like her, and even sounded like Luna, but Blaise could easily spot the girl he loved from the one he hated.

Draco was rather upset that there was murderer in his home, one who wanted to go after Luna and could very easily. He spent two months in Azkaban because of this bitch, welcoming her into his home wasn't exactly what Draco had first on his list of things to do. He was about to ask for her wand until Ginny slipped her fingers into his. Draco looked down. Hand holding? When had that been added of the appropriate things to do? He just spent the last hour trying to convince Blaise that there was nothing going on between them and now hand holding? Maybe she should let him in on when she decided to go all PDA on him; its not like it was something Draco was used to.

Ginny saw the question in his eyes, but shrugged for an answer. Who were they kidding? Blaise and Luna both knew no matter how much Draco and Ginny tried to deny it. There was no point in hiding. The hand holding was to calm Draco down, she could tell that he was going to start raging about, maybe yelling and throwing things, and right now that wasn't the best idea with a violent woman in his kitchen.

And when she said violent women, she didn't mean Blaise.

"Luna love, its so nice to see you," Lilith smiled and gave her air kisses. Blaise stiffened, looking to Draco for the go ahead to murder Lilith, but Draco gave a slight shake to his head. This wasn't the right time to just lash out, especially since it didn't seem as if Lilith was planning to kill Luna at the moment. Luna was smiling after all.

"I was just about to say the same thing, there must be a thought stealing humdinger hiding somewhere in the kitchen," Luna giggled and Lilith giggled in agreement. Draco shot Blaise a skeptical look with an eyebrow raise, but Blaise could only shrug. You really think he knew what the fuck a humdinger was? Get real. He loved the woman, but that didn't mean he understood her.

"Lilith, I want to introduce you to my friends," Luna smiled, "Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley, and my fiancé Blaise Zabini." Luna held out the ring for Lilith to see.

However the new blonde, the one with the paler, pastel eyes and lips that curled into a smirk, not a smile, didn't look at the large diamond Luna and Ginny had been giggling over earlier in the kitchen. Her eyes didn't even go to Blaise, which slightly unnerved him because who ever gave up the chance to stare at his beauty? Instead, her eyes stayed glued on Ginny.

"Wouldn't Harry be upset to know that you are spending your company with his worst enemy?" Lilith asked Ginny, "Somewhat intimately it seems."

" He shouldn't, we are no longer together and what I do and who I associate myself with is none of his business," Ginny rounded on her; Draco just about started laughing, but held it back.

"He is, upset I mean," Lilith shrugged, "so am I, but for different reasons."

"How would you know how Harry feels?" Ginny asked.

"All girls have their secrets honey," Lilith grinned.

Blaise, watching the whole ordeal, was pretty much over all of this. He rolled his eyes at this little banter between girls, these reindeer games between enemies, and stepped in between them. If this was his house he would have thrown the bitch out the second she stepped in, but apparently Draco lost his balls in Azkaban and had yet to grow a new set. But don't worry, Blaise made sure to put his ass kicking boots on this morning.

"Well Lilith, you'll find that we aren't as friendly as Potter so you better give me a good reason to not kill right now or you'll be ten feet under with Longbottom and the old woman who posed as Luna," Blaise said sternly.

"Blaise that's not nice-" Luna squealed, but Blaise gave her one of his looks that she knew meant to be quiet. She knew not to mess with Blaise when he got in one of his Slytherin moods.

Lilith smirked evilly, making her lack of lunacy in her speech slightly bother Blaise. What if she was a Looney Lovegood in other ways, like killing people for no good reason? See, Blaise had something to be a little scared of right there.

"Because I didn't kill them," Lilith told Blaise.

"Like hell I'm going to believe that," Blaise rolled his eyes, pulling out his want.

Luna stepped forward this time, putting her heart in front of his wanb, "it's true Blaise."

Blaise looked between the Lovegood girls and sighed, "alright, but you owe me an explanation."

Luna's sweetness was taken over with a smile, "dinner first!" She grabbed Lilith's hand and ran with her into the kitchen.

"How much time do you get for a double homicide?" Blaise asked Draco.

With a gasp, Ginny hit Blaise in the arm, causing the chocolate bear to melt into laughter. He was only kidding, sort of, but Luna was testing his limits by just letting Lilith walk in here without any ounce of evidence that she wasn't a killer, besides her word. Blaise straightened up from his laughter and looked to Draco with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"Stop looking at me like that," Draco commented immediately, "I can read your mind without you having to use legimency."

"Fine, fine," Blaise chuckled and followed the blonde girls into the kitchen.

Ginny waited a moment before asking Draco why Blaise was trying to speak to him telepathically. "Because its something that's not for a lady's fine ears," Draco smirked. Ginny grumbled something about it being bullshit answer, but she followed Blaise into the kitchen as well, Draco right on her heals.

Dinner went rather well it seemed. Ginny had made her mother's famous meat loaf, carrots, and scalloped potatoes. Draco noticed that Luna's date did not pull out the bitch factor during the meal. Lilith was rather quiet as she listened to how Blaise and Luna fell in love- Luna was telling it, not Blaise- and she congratulated them on their engagement. She was even polite enough to thank Ginny for cooking dinner and allowing her to stay.

"Thank you Lilith," Ginny smiled, "I have to go to the bathroom, but when I get back I'll serve the desert, custard pie," Ginny informed them all as she stood up from the table. Blaise and Draco stood, as they were taught in the many manners classes they were made to take as pureblood children. Yet instead of sitting back down, Draco followed her out of the room, giving Blaise a head nod in the process.

"Draco you don't have to come with me," she laughed as he took some quick steps to catch up with her and lace his fingers with her. "I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself."

"I know, but Blaise doesn't," Draco smirked.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ginny asked the golden haired Adonis by her side.

"Blaise told me to keep my eye on you, stay with you, go with you everywhere until Lilith leaves and even after that protect you to the death," Draco said simply.

Ginny looked at him with shock, then she looked away with anger. He was watching over her? Making sure she was okay? Protecting her? Ginny was a big girl, she didn't need protection and she certainly did not want it from boys who thought they were better than her. She tried her best to wiggle her fingers away from him, but he held closer.

"Yet I know you're a very big girl who doesn't like being told what to do or having other people watch after you, not to mention that your wand work is much better than my own when it comes to defense. Therefore, I have elected to not watch over you and let you protect yourself," Draco explained.

Ginny looked up at him with interest and confusion. Draco was a rather selfish being, and though it seemed that he was being selfish by not protecting her, she found it one of the most sincere things about him. He was letting her protect herself, make her own choices, something Harry never let her do. She smiled softly, "thank you, but then why are you coming with me to the bathroom?"

"To have a quick snog since I've been dying to ravage you from even before you took my hand in the entry way," Draco smirked slyly and opened the bathroom door for her. Ginny laughed, entered the bathroom and looked at him skeptically for a moment before grabbing him by the shirt and yanking him into the small bathroom. Pathetically, she had wanted the same thing ever since Blaise and Luna arrive this afternoon for dinner.

As Draco and Ginny enjoyed their little lovers romp up in the second floor bathroom, Blaise watched Lilith with a critical eye. She seemed harmless, especially as she told stories of her and Luna as children, how they used to run around and trick people with their looks. Blaise wasn't very fond of the idea as Lilith parading around as Luna, and, when he mentioned this, the truth was finally out on the table.

"Well that's how all this started you know, someone mistook me as Luna and then when found out I wasn't her, arranged for her murder," Lilith smiled.

"Excuse me?" Blaise raised an eyebrow. He had not been expecting that as the answer to his discomfort. Instead, it only caused him to shift in his seat to make his wand easier to retrieve if needed be.

"Well he wanted her dead and then I was to pose as her-no one was ever supposed to have known she was killed. You ruined that by placing the old lady in her shoes. He knew that wasn't Luna and when he asked the old lady where Luna was and she couldn't answer, he killed her," Lilith frowned. She seemed sincerely upset that the old woman was dead. "I wouldn't have agreed to it if I wasn't, well, in love with him."

Blaise stared at her incredulously. She was willing to pose as her cousin for a man that she was in love with? He was completely and utterly- okay he wasn't completely confused by women's hearts since Luna promised to pretend to be dead for him, so he wouldn't lose her, so they could get married and have a family. Sweet Salazar he was such a softie and he wasn't even in his thirties yet. What was he going to do when he was a father and had daughters who begged for ponies and boys? Okay well he knew the boy part- no boys until they were out of Hogwarts because he knew what teenage boys were like. Not only was he one once, he was the worst one there was and his best mate was number two.

Speaking of his best mate, Draco was losing track of time with Ginny's lips attached to his. He knew they were denying their feelings, their emotions for each other, but when they were alone things just changed. They talked about interesting things, always laughed, and she was just the spark he needed in his life. Ginny moved her hands up his chest, already unbuttoning his shirt, making Draco moan with pleasure. He wanted her, truly, more than anything and it was taking everything in him not to say it. How Blaise got through this maddening want, Draco was never going to understand because he was about to do it whether she was ready for it or not.

Blaise was able to get by because of Luna. He watched her reaction to Lilith's news, a slight frown on her lips as she thought about things. Would she have killed someone if Blaise had asked her to? No, but Blaise would have never asked that of her.

"The note for Luna and the DA members, that was just a set up. He thought if he could convince the ministry that only one person knew about the list of members, then that would be the one suspect," Lilith explained.

"The only suspect?" Blaise questioned.

"That's right, only Draco was supposed to be suspected, but his friend got cocky and tried to pull you into it too," Lilith winked. Blaise stared at her. Was she talking about who he thought she was talking about? "I was supposed to be Luna, out of hiding, saying that Draco attacked me and I had been hiding until it was safe."

"Why didn't you when he was in Azkaban then? Wouldn't it have been safe then?" Luna asked, knowing Blaise and Draco's entire side of the story now, even all the information Ginny found from them.

"Because of the old woman, because he knew you were alive. You could have easily proven Draco innocent," Lilith said quietly, "they killed Neville in hopes to peg you as an accomplice, but it didn't stick, obviously, and now… when Luna wrote me as you… I just couldn't hide it anymore. She's family, how could I ever have betrayed my family?"

With her hands in his hair, Ginny was pretty sure she had betrayed her family twice over. Harry was part of her family, but when she kissed Draco all she saw was stars, the hope of a life where she would be her own woman and yet still have a man who cared for her. She could feel it in her too, but she was too scared to say it.

"Lilith, whose been asking you to do all of this? Who's trying to incriminate Draco?" Blaise asked.

Draco took a deep breath, placing his mouth by Ginny's ear.

Lilith took a deep breath, about to betray the man she loved.

"I love you," Draco whispered.

"Harry Potter," Lilith whispered.
