A/N Wow, I was really happy with my last chapter. That is my favourite! Ahhh my document underlined favourite as incorrect! Must have this on American English. WELL SORRY IF I'M CANADIAN!!! Sorry, just a little spazzy today. Well this is the chapter where Ginny decides between Draco and Harry. Nothing can change my mind, so please don't r/r and say oh you suck, you should have picked so and so. Well sorry if this isn't the way you like it, but I'm the author, remember? Anyway, an unsuspected romance will pop up, and it will be most surprising. It surprised me when I thought of it! Well, here is the story, thank you to all my reviewers.
When we reached the castle, Dumbledore declared that it was nearly one o' clock in the morning.
"I suggest that you three head to the Hospital Wing, you are all severely shaken," Dumbledore gestured to Draco, Narcissa and I, "As for the rest, I suggest you go get a good night's sleep, this was a nerve-racking day. See you all tomorrow," Dumbledore headed off to his office. Draco smiled weakly at me, took my hand, and we followed his mother up to see Madame Pomfrey. She declared us all okay, only needing a bit of bed rest. She sent Narcissa to the adult part, and gave Draco and I beds beside each other. After Madame Pomfrey left us to go back to her office, I climbed off of my bed and went and sat on Draco's. He sat up as well. He put his arms around me. I swung my legs up onto his bed and leaned against the pillows.
"Some night eh? Draco chuckled weakly. I smiled.
"Yeah. You-Know-Who is gone, your father and Pettigrew are getting the Kiss, and Sirius is free," I said.
"Yeah. How long did you know Black was innocent?" He asked me.
"Harry and Ron told me last summer, when he apparated to our house. Caused something of a panic I tell you, a mass murderer appearing in our home," I smiled. Draco laughed.
"You did a very brave thing today Draco, you, you saved me and your mom (A/N I know it is mum in England, but it's too weird for me, so sorry!) From You-Know-Who and your father, risking your life, and you killed You-Know-Who. I'm very proud of you," I leaned my head on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead.
"You're worth my life, Ginny Weasley, much more than my life. I, I really like you, and I guess this is probably as much as a shock to you as it is to me, liking a Weasley, and all, but I do," he told me. I tear trickled down my cheek.
"And I like you too Draco Malfoy," I leaned over and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and I fell asleep, completely full of bliss.
When I woke up that Sunday morning, I had to shake my head and remember the past night's events. But then I looked up and saw Draco Malfoy's arms around me and smiled. My movement caused his eyes to flutter open.
"Huh?" was all he said. I giggled.
"Good Morning Sunshine," I kissed his cheek. He smiled goofly.
"I am not a morning person," he grumbled, still smiling.
"I can tell, we may as well be leaving here Draco, get back to our common rooms, we probably gave them such a fright," I said, hopping off his bed. He followed my suit.
"I don't think the Slytherins will care to see me, seeing that I was the one that killed their lord," he answered, pulling on his shoes. I smiled sadly, thinking, that he was probably right.
"I'm going to visit my mom, see how she is doing, how about I will meet you by the lake in an hour, ok?" he asked me, putting his arms around me.
"Yeah, that should give me enough time to listen to my stupid brother's lectures," I laughed.
"Are you going to tell them about…us?" he asked, very carefully.
"May as well, putting it off will only make it worse. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it," I smiled. We shared a moment long kiss, and headed our ways. I walked up the familiar path to Gryffindor Tower.
I greeted the Fat Lady and gave her the password (innsy minnsy iggity figg) and stepped through the hole. I looked around the common room. I saw Hermione sitting, studying, for a change. I went and sat beside her. Maybe if I told her, she could help me with my brothers, and even worse, Harry. She noticed my presence and put her book down.
"Ginny! Where have you been? When Harry came in here last night, saying that you have just been taken by You-Know-Who, we were all so freaked out…" she started, but I cut her off.
"I went to Malfoy Mansion," I stated blandly. She looked at me in horror.
"What? How, when why?" She was baffled. I never heard Hermione at a loss of words. I told her the story of last night. Her jaw was hanging open.
"You, You mean Lucius Malfoy is getting the Dementors' Kiss, and Sirius is free and Malfoy killed You-Know-Who, and you spent the night with Malfoy? Oh. My. God. Your brothers are going to flip," she laughed, thinking of their reactions.
"I know, but are you ok with this, I mean, will you help me?" I pleaded. She hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Of course I will Gin, you are my best girlfriend. I don't like Mal…ok Draco, but if you like him, then that is all that matters. This is really going to hurt Harry, though, you know that," she informed me. I bowed my head.
"I know, the last thing I want to do is hurt Harry, but I really like Draco, and I don't want to lie to them, they will find out someway or another, you know this school, we are all like old women at the beauty parlour when it comes to gossip, and this, well, is pretty 'juicy' I guess," I smiled. She laughed. At that moment, Harry, Ron, George and Fred sauntered through the portrait hole, probably from an early morning Quidditch practice. They were babbling on about Quidditch, and stopped abruptly when they saw me. They ran over to Hermione and me. They started their lectures, I only caught bits and pieces.
'With You-Know-Who' 'you could have been killed' 'it was very stupid'
"I went to Malfoy Mansion," I stated as clearly as I did when I told Hermione. The all stopped nattering.
"What? Gin, are you serious?" Fred asked. I told them they same story I told Hermione, except leaving out the part that I slept in the same bed as Draco. I looked very disbelieving.
"Now that I've told you all that, I want to let you know, that now I am seeing Draco, as of last night, and I don't want to hear any complaining, mom told you how you are not to mess with my social life," they were all wide eyed and silent. Ron was the first to speak up.
"Ginny, please tell me this is a joke. You, and Malfoy? What in the world possessed you to make that decision?" I stood up, angrier than ever. Weasley's known to have a temper, but many say that the women are the worst. That is my mom, and I and it was sure as hell true.
"You know Ron, you are acting like such an ass. Maybe I like him Ron, ever thought of that? I'm not a mindless 10 year old, I'm almost fifteen! You don't have to watch out for me, I can think for myself, now if you excuse me, I'm going to meet Draco!" The whole of the common room were watching, smirking, thinking how rare it is to see 4 boys cowering under the influence of a girl that was younger, and about 2 thirds of their size.
I stalked off, out the portrait hole and out of the castle down to the lake. I was pacing, muttering to myself about my brothers. I stopped pacing, remembering when I said I was with Draco, the look of sadness on Harry's face. I screamed. Why does this have to be hard? All I want is to be with Draco, is that too much to ask? I continued pacing angrily, muttering again.
"I'm guessing it didn't go well," I stopped as I heard a voice. The drawl I loved so much. I turned around and saw Draco standing there. I smiled.
"Not at all, I never knew they could be such assholes," I said as he hugged me.
"It's ok Gin, it doesn't matter, does it?" he asked, holding me so he could look in my eyes.
"Not when you are holding me," I grinned as he blushed, or at least a pink tinge appeared in his pale face. At that moment, he kissed me. I have never been kissed like that, not by Harry, Neville, Colin or any guy I have ever gone out with. If it wasn't for his arms holding me tightly against him I would have passed out. But instead, I returned the kiss just as passionately. Once we parted, he smiled and said,
"Well just one more obstacle, the rest of the whole god damn school," I laughed, and added,
"No, two. The rest of my family. I'm sure your mother wouldn't mind, but my parents, well lets just say, they don't particularly like your family, or your father," he grimaced. The thought of his father must torture him.
"I hate my father. He kept many familes apart, from killing them, now his doing is going against our relationship. The kiss was performed just as I was talking to my mother, and Pettigrew is being hit with Truth Potion, as well as Black. So he will be set free soon," he informed me. I smiled and put my head on his shoulder. I'll worry about my brothers later, right now, I'm with Draco, and that is all that matters. We are survivors, of Voldemort.
A/N Do you like? I started with D/G and then Harry came in and made me barmy (I've been reading Lord of the flies, and I like that word! They use it in there) and but my love for Draco came through. Now it will be d/g and I think h/p and the new romance, that no one knows about! Mwa ha ha ha! Anyway, you notice Ginny used Voldemort instead of You-Know-Who at the end. I decided now that Voldemort has been defeated and she is protected by Draco, she doesn't need to use You-Know-Who. And besides, Voldemort is easier to type. The name of this chapter, Survivor is by Destiny's Child. I love this song, and I've been waiting to use it for a chapter name. Gin's a survivor, she's gonna make it, her and Draco will survive, and keep on surviving! Haha I love it. Well chapter 9 will be up soon, please r/r.
