Chapter Four:Tortured Love, Wet Feet and Jealousy

By: Nettie

She was standing there, her red hair in a braid, strands were escaping from it, and strands fell into her bright brown eyes. She wore a nigh gown, with a dark green velvet robe that only button slightly at her stomach. She looked terrified, and beautiful. They stared at each other for eons it seemed, then Draco slowly got up and walked towards her.

He walked towards her, god how he wanted her.

"I--" her voice shook, and she looked away from his gaze. "I want to know what you want with me, and what you're doing to me. I want it to stop."

Ginny looked at him--in his eyes was a degree of love and pain that scared her. She stumbled back, clutching her robe to her, she felt as if she was stripped naked under his gaze.

He grabbed both of her wrists, and looked at her intensely.

"Let go," she whispered.

"You really don't want me too," he said smiling coldly.

She kneed him hard in the crotch. "Yes, I do," she snapped back, as he grunted in pain.

"Weasley, don't you understand?"

"That you're a selfish asshole?"

He smiled. What? Draco, you don't SMILE, you SMIRK and SNEER. You don't SMILE. He mentally hit himself. He leaned in so his lips were almost touching hers. "You have to realize Ginny," he whispered. "What you do to me."

Ginny wondered briefly why her brain turn to mush when he was so close to her. "What?" even her voice was loud in her ears. "Infuriate you? Make you want to rip me to pieces? WHAT Malfoy?"

He couldn't say it, she was to close. He felt dizzy from the overwhelming scent of spice--cinnamon and basil.

"Malfoy? MALFOY? Are you okay? Draco?"

He snapped out of his revere, and saw that Ginny was actually looking concerned. "Are you all right?" she whispered softly.

He nodded breathlessly, and slowly, leaned in to kiss her.

"Malfoy?"

"Hmmmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"I don't...know."

He was about a millimeter away from her when he was yanked back. Ron, looking more angry than Ginny had ever seen him in her 16 years was screaming at the top of his lungs.

"You bastard! What the HELL are you doing with my sister. Harry, get Ginny, get her away while I KILL this git."

Harry tried to pull Ginny away. Ginny whirled on him, jamming her elbow into his stomach. He flew backwards and rolled onto the ground, moaning slightly. "Never, ever try to tell me what to do," she snapped angrily

Then she turned to Ron, who looked abashed at her attack. "Ron, get out of here before I do something that I'll regret."

Ron stared at her with his mouth open. "Ginny, he'll do something to you..."

"And what if I want him to do something to me?" she replied calmly.

Ron spluttered. "No, I am staying right here until you're ready. I WON'T have you doing anything with this...this piece of scum."

Ginny's eyes narrowed into slits, and immediately, Draco knew Ron had gone to far. The famous Weasley temper was beginning to spark. She turned around, marched up to him, grabbed his neck and kissed him.

Ron yelled furiously, and Draco could feel Ginny smiled against his lips.

Ron screamed in rage and stomped off, dragging Harry after him.

Ginny pulled away, staring at Draco, seemingly speechless. "What as that?"

He stared at her, and realized that she was much to good for him. "We can't do this Ginny," he said urgently. "I'm not good enough for you--go to Potter, he loves you, you'd make the perfect couple." there was an incredible bitterness in his tone.

She was looking at him in a bemused expression, her eyes wide, she was furious. "I wish I never laid eyes on you Draco Malfoy!" she screamed and she stalked towards the castle, hoping he wouldn't see her tears. She cried all night in her dormitory. I've fallen in love with the enemy, she thought to herself. I'm in love with Draco Malfoy. This was definitely not a nice feeling.

*************

Draco, you're an idiot. You're in love with a girl--and you push her away as soon as she shows any sign of interest. You are a cut rate asshole, that's what you are. Draco turned over in his bed, cursing himself silently. He wanted her--he loved her and he lusted after her. It was as simple as that.

*************

Harry stared at the embers of the dying fire. "Harry?" said a timid voice. Ginny was standing a few feet away from him. An image of her and Malfoy kissing flashed through his mind. "Harry, I'm sorry I hurt you..." she trailed off at the look on his face.

"Come here," he said softly.

She sat next to him, and he took her hand in his.
