"Discrepant"
"Here," Draco said casually on Monday, coming out of their bedroom, straightening his tie with one hand. Something small and gold lay in his other hand. He leaned over the kitchen table, distracting her by handing her the object while he stole a bite of her bagel. "I found this under the bed by one of my shoes. I nearly stepped on it." After giving her a through kiss, he departed.
Ginny stared at the earring in her hand. It innocently glittered up at her. She smiled and easily rose to put it away. It should have made her wonder why she didn't recognize it. But she didn't.
Wednesday, the owl arrived that Draco would be late, this case was running over and due in front of the Wizengamot tomorrow. Ginny smiled and put dinner back in the oven, settling in with a book and a light plate of snacks until Draco got home. He was appropriately sorry, making himself much available to her that evening. Ginny had a slight flash when he kissed her – he tasted…different… - but Ginny figured he'd eaten something funny.
Ah, but how the facts didn't add up, how discrepant they acted. Ginny just shook everything off. She'd known exactly what she was getting into when she fell in love with him. She knew him inside and how, knew intimately how his mind worked, how his body worked, how thoughts processed in his brain. Just because she was pushing the boundaries of their sexual-only relationship by tossing in her heart didn't mean she had to tell him, or bring up his side adventures. She knew when to leave enough alone and when to assert just a touch of pressure on him, to make him remember who was first, who lived with him. It was strange, how easily she dealt with the side trips. They just didn't matter to her, because she knew they didn't matter to him. After a bout, he just let them go, not caring what they wanted. Besides, if he ever got too involved, she always had Harry to threaten him with…

A/N: Yes, Ginny is quite OOC here. In fact, I have no answers to provide you with as to why Ginny acts the way she does here, except to wave at the above script... my mind does not know where this came from O.o
