The Duo: Ginny & Draco
Chapter Four
He remembered it from Hogwarts, A History. The Order of the Phoenix were the best wizards known to man and were called upon by an enchantress. They never told anyone who she was nor where she dwelled. The only fact was their powers were real and their names were weird.
Each of the four members were from a Hogwarts house and had powers beyond Powerful.
Dom Tedlir was from Slytherin, Saleb de Duremb from Gryffindor, Minerva de Bloremdu from Ravenclaw and Jacqueline Naves from Hufflepuff. These were the last four that the magical world has seen.
They each had a separate power, character, and emotion. Brought together by the infamous enchantress, they were to serve under her order and direction only. The reason behind the manifesto was the Dark Wizards that were brought upon the earth to rule, and she was what the world cried out for.
While Draco was pondering his imagination, Snape was finding his way to the first staircase.
"Ginny, come." She went with him up the stairs and they came to a wall with picture of an owl on it.
"Rowena." The door materialized and he motioned inside. "Your room." He went back down the stairs.
Draco watched Professor Snape go up a staircase with Ginny and then gazed at Harry. It was like watching Hell freeze over. Cho didn't even effect him like this, was Ginny that important to him? As Draco finally decided that if he lost his love to his nemesis, he probably would be the same way, Snape came back down.
"Potter." Harry levitated his trunk and followed Snape up a different staircase.
'That's another thing,' thought Draco, 'why's Snape so damn happy? Have Ginny and I changed this school so that Potter becomes suicidal and Snape stops sneering? What the Hell?!'
"Draco, your turn." Draco followed him to a door with a picture of Salazar Slytherin on it.
"Kaleidoscope." The door appeared and Snape turned to leave.
"Professor?" Snape turned around to Draco. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you so, happy?" It took a few moments for him to answer, but he did.
"Because a childhood dream was fulfilled," and before Draco could ask him what that was, Snape turned and left.
Draco unpacked all of his stuff into all the drawers of his dresser, thanking God that he did an engorging charm on his trunk to fit all of his needs. After taking a good hour doing that, he went back down to the common room. There he saw Harry on one side and Ginny on the other. Draco sat down next to Ginny and he put his arm around her. He saw Harry close his eyes and flinch.
They sat in silence together, until Harry broke the barrier.
"Ginny, can I talk to you?"
"Talk to me, or slap me?"
"Fine, I deserve that. But if I do anything to you, do you really think that Malfoy's just gonna stand there?" She looked at Draco and he shrugged. Ginny walked over to Harry and moved a chair over so she could sit opposite him. 'This is the whole point, right?' Thought Ginny. Draco was out of earshot, due to Ginny blocking him out. Draco found he wasn't, but was not about to tell them.
"Ginny, you know I love you," Ginny opened her mouth, but Harry interrupted her, "I know you'll want to interrupt me, but please, don't." She closed her mouth and nodded. "I love you and I don't think that anything can change that, but you don't love me."
'Not an Einstein,' Draco thought as he rolled his eyes.
Harry continued. "I'll have to accept that. I want to still be friends. I need you now. I need your support more then ever. That's why I've been trying to get you back, so, err…forcefully."
"Harry, I love you too," Draco raised his head sharply and Harry did the same, a smile playing across his face, "but I love you as Ron does." Draco raised his eyebrows. 'Potter's gay?'
"I love you as a brother." Harry put his head back down and Ginny let this register into Harry's head.
"Harry, why do you need me more then ever?"
"Ginny," his voice started to quiver," Sirius was captured last week by the Dementors." She gasped, then started to tear, hiding her squeaks behind her hands.
"Harry, I'm so sorry." She reached over and hugged him. Though she knew that he didn't want her to know, she felt his warm teardrops soak her shoulder as she rubbed his black hair. A superhero gone soft because he had lost the only person whom had unconditionally loved him. The only person he would think as a paternal replacement, gone with a simple kiss.
When Harry released Ginny, a couple of minutes later, she looked at him and Draco softly remembered his parents.
"What are you going to do?"
"I dunno what I can do, I," but he was interrupted by Draco.
"So you have been in contact with Sirius Black?" Harry scowled at him, and Ginny gave him a death stare, but still he pressed on.
"Yes, I was." Harry stood up, resolute.
"Draco, let's go. You're going to your room, I'm going to mine, and Harry's going to his."
"No, Potter would be interested in what I have to say."
"What you have to say usually doesn't matter, nor helps."
"You don't hear what I say, Potter, and you'll regret it." Harry puts his hands on his hips and looked at Ginny. He turned back towards Draco, who started to walk around his chair, slowly and looking down.
"I have an option for you, Potter, but it requires two virtues that you do not inherit. Quick thinking and deceit." Harry stared at him. 'Typical Malfoy plan.'
"Deceit is a virtue?"
"To those who are ambitious. Now, are you interested?"
"Tell me what it is first." Draco's smile went through to his eyes, and he continued walking around Ginny and Harry.
"Last week I received a letter from my father, Potter. He is in China on business, you know." Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes, I know. Business indeed." Harry raised his eyebrows and looked at Ginny, whom smiled and looked back at Draco.
"As you know, Voldemort is a very intellectual man. I bet you didn't know the Dementors are already on his side?" Harry looked at Ginny, then slowly shook his head.
"Didn't think so. Well, the only real reason why my father leaves the manor is when the Dark Lord needs to take someone out of Azkaban into hiding. I have no idea why, but Voldmort wants Black." Draco said the thing that Harry both feared and rejoiced. "He is probably in my manor." Draco smiled nonchalantly. Harry and Ginny looked at each other AGAIN, then she hugged Draco.
Somehow he squeaked out, "and Potter, this does not go past Weasley and Granger." He smiled over Ginny's shoulder. Harry curled the corners of his mouth ever so slightly and escaped up his staircase.
"So how come you didn't tell him everything?" Draco looked at her quizzically. "Well, your eyes were gray-what are you hiding from us?"
"You'll know soon enough. Some things can't be hidden forever." Draco kissed her. "You know Hell just froze over?"
The first couple of days were neutral. Harry was finally accepting his ex being the beau of his nemesis. Draco and Harry were slowly, very slowly, becoming acceptable to each other. Their short-lived conversations usually consisted of quidditch and Sirius. Draco made sure not to touch on the subject of girls, until midway during the second week, Harry introduced it. Snape had dropped off some homework on advanced and complicated love potions.
"Have you ever tried a love potion?"
"Potter, I don't need to," and Draco continued with his homework.
"Yea, me neither." Harry looked back down and Draco continued looking at him, analyzing him until Harry looked up at him again.
"What? Why are you staring at me?"
"Liar." Draco's voice was barely audible. It seemed that he was talking to himself more then talking to Harry.
"Huh?"
"You have used a love potion before."
"I have not!"
"I don't know if you knew this yet, but I'm a Malfoy. We know when someone is lying, and you Potter, are lying. Malfoys are walking Sneak-O-Scopes." He looked up in thought again. "And not to mention, you truly suck at it too. It wasn't as hard as it usually is."
"Ah-huh." Harry looked at him cautiously.
Draco smiled. "C'mon, fess up! Who'd you use it on?" His smile was strange. It glowed of malice, and drooled of predetermination.
"I don't think that's any of your business." Harry quickly looked back down, but his eyes wandered to Draco's face, which was still smiling.
"Fine. I'll tell you." Harry looked at him like he was an idiot, but still was curious to what he had to say. "You didn't use it on anyone, did you?" Harry shook his head.
"Duh. That was so hard to figure out! I just said it!"
"Ah, but let me finished, my charming Scarface." Harry silenced. "You, being the goody-two-shoes, didn't use it on anyone. Though I still wonder why the girls gawk at you….However, Potter, someone did use it on you. In fact, 'twas Lavender." Harry tried to hide his surprise at Draco's accuracy, but the message didn't relay to his face.
"Don't try to hide it, Potter, I need to tell you everything." Harry sat back into the chair he was sitting in and crossed his arms. "Anyway, Lavender used it on you. But it wore off, didn't it?" Harry was about to deny this, but Draco interrupted him again. "It was a rhetorical question-don't answer it. "You thought in your hormonal head, 'oh, my girlfriend has more class then this slut, and won't do it. Might as well! It's an easy blowjob!'" Draco smiled. "You told her some stupid lie and she did your every desire, including that free job. Now, please. Intrigue me Potter? Did I say a bloody thing wrong?"
Harry stared at him with sheer anger. "No," he slowly whispered.
"Thank you." He smiled. " Now please excuse me, Potter, I have a craving." Draco picked up his books and went up Ginny's staircase, but was stopped halfway by Harry, but Draco already knew what he wanted. "No, I won't tell Ginny. But one more question for you. Why did you make a story up?"
Harry took a few moments before answering, "because the truth would hurt her."
"So better a temporary fix that didn't even make sense then tell her the truth." Harry nodded and Draco shook his head, then continued up the stairs and left a very confused Harry in his midst.
'How did that punk know?' Thought Harry.
"Heard that, Potter!" Draco called down the stairs. He heard a growl, then finally reached a landing with the picture of an owl.
"Rowena." He went inside and found Ginny getting changed. Facing the other way, she had not noticed him come in.
'He, he, he…,' was all that went through his mind. Slowly, and very stealthily, he came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her small waist and kissed her neck.
"Potter's confused in his thoughts. Let's use this time wisely." With that, he kicked the door shut. But they did not hear Harry break apart the locking charm in the common room, allowing him go out to the rest of the school.
