Chapter 8~ Words of Love

There he stood in front of them, eyeing them as if they were a bit of disowned trash... he nearly spat at them, but held back the mighty urge to do so.

'You two, I never expected this.' He growled with an undying rage.

Ginny grasped Draco's hand, and squeezed it tightly, hoping this would comfort her in some way... any way. But she was given more than what she longed for, Draco put one arm around her waist, pulled her close and about to kiss her...

'DRACO!' The man screamed and pulled them apart.
'Father.' Draco said coolly.

Then, the door swung open. In came a tall, slender woman with blonde hair. With her she brought the scent of peppermint, perhaps the woman's favorite scent.

'What in heavens name is going on in here, Lucius? Don't you know that I have some guests in the parlor...' Narcissa siad, rambling on obviously a bit stupid. (A/N: And so proving the dumb blonde theory ^_^)
'My dear, I'd like you to meet our... er... uninvited guest.' Lucius said.

Bewildered, Narcissa turned her gaze towards the teenager who stood in front of her. Narcissa immediately recognized the girl...

'Miss Weasley, it's so nice to see you again.' Narcissa said with a forced politeness.
'It's nice to see you again, too, Mrs. Malfoy.' Ginny said curtly.
'Lucius, dear, why didn't you invite her to the parlor? Oh well, leave me to it. Miss Weasley, please follow me.'

Narcissa lead the pack of four... Lucius, stumbled along still muttering in anger. Draco, who had a potent smirk on his face, chatted with his mother. And a most nervous Ginny followed from behind...

They finally entered the magnificent room. The room was decorated with antiquest from Ancient Egypt. A glamorous, 5 foot tall, model of a sphinx was placed in the corner or the room. This extravagant model caught Ginny's eye. The amazing replica of a creature from the ancient worlds...

'Take a seat.' Narcissa said pleasantly.
'T-thank you.' Ginny muttered nervously.
'I've heard that you and our dear Draco,' Narcissa said winking at her son, 'have become quite the item.'
'You have?' Ginny said holding back a giggle at Narcissa's bluntness.
'Yes. And I'd like to know why you haven't come to visit us. I would have loved to hear about how a fiery young Slytherin like yourself is doing over the summer holiday.'
'A Slytherin?' Ginny said shocked, 'Mrs. Malfoy, I'm not a Slytherin.'
'Don't be silly.' Narcissa said a bit impatiently.

Bewildered, Ginny looked over at Draco for an explanation... but he looked just as confused as she felt...

'Will you excuse me Draco, Miss Weasley?' Narcissa said running a hand through her long blonde hair, 'I have to attend to a meeting now. I'll se you two tonight.'

Narcissa left the room hurriedly. Before she left she grabbed her mink coat off of the coat rack... and then she wa

This left Ginny and Draco alone in the room.. Ginny looke at Draco confused.

'Two questionds, Draco.' Ginny said plainly.
'Shoot.' Draco said nonchalantly as he put both his feet on the coffee table and layed back in the recliner he rested in.
'Where are your mother's other guests? And why does she think I'm in Slytherin?'
'Well, she probably never had any guests... Mother's a bit, let's just say forgetful sometimes. An she thinks you're in Slytherin... well, because Father told her that.'
'Why'd he tell her that?!' Ginny yelled outraged.

Draco shook his head disapprovingly and walked over to the couch where Ginny was and sat down next to her.

'Let's talk about this later...' he whispered, 'I brought you here so you could take a break from your brothers and so we could be alone.'
'But Draco I want to know.' Ginny said stubbornly.
'Shh.' Was his only reply...

He massaged her shoulders, slowly working lower and massaging her back... Ginny was just silent pondering over the last course of events. When Draco finished he turned her around...

He turned her around slowly and kissed her softly. She stared into his blue eyes and breathed in... this was real... he was real. She couldn't believe that they were finally together, and everyone knew. If only his family approved of their meetings, and their love.

Draco looked at her and couldn't help the smirk that crossed his face. He chuckled at her confusion of his humor over her. Still smiling he kissed the top of her head.

'I love you.' He said firmly, but charmingly.
'Mmhmm.. sure ya do.' Ginny answered pretending to be angry.
'Are you mad at me?' Draco asked amused once again.
'Yes, and it's not funny!" Ginny exclaimed.
'It's funny because you're pretending to be mad at me and I know you're not.'
'Fine, you caught me.'

Grinning a bit dumbly, Ginny embraced him and held him tight... afraid to let him go. He held her just as tightly, wrapping his arms around her. He rested hi head on top of her own and sighed.

'How did we get through all of this? How did we get so far through the last couple of months?' Ginny asked.
'I don't know, baby, I don't know.' Draco said quietly.
'I love you so much, Draco.' Ginny said and started to cry. 'If I ever lost you, you know I wouldn't be able to live.... Don't you? Do you know if they make us live apart that I'll die? Do you know that I'll do anything so we can be together?'

Draco pulled away from her slightly so that he could look her in the eye. He wiped away her tears with his thumbs and held a finger to her lips to silence her.

'Nothing will happen. We have each other, Ginny... and if anytheing were to happen we could always find a way to be together again. I promise you I'll never stop loving you. This, us, our love... it's eternal. It will never die.'

Ginny blinked and stared at him in disbelief "He loves me, He really loves me" was all that she could think of. His last words left her numb within her own self. Every little girl dreamed of her knight in shining armor, and she had found hers.

'W-what about you father?' Ginny said finally after a few moments of perfect silence.
'He'll aprove of us sooner or later... and if not, then so be it.' Draco said angered by the mentioning of his ruthless father.
'He's your father!' Ginny exclaiemd, shocked by how he spoke of his own blood, ' and I won't allow you to hate him in such a way.'
'He may be my father, but I don't care. Ginny look at the way he treats you. Look at the way he has always treated your family like dirt. You deserve so much better than what you get from him.'
'But he's your father... he loves you.' Ginny said quietly so he couldn't hear her...
