A DRAGON'S ANGEL
Prologue: The Sighting
A flash of bright red hair caught my eyes. A very pretty & quite familiar face went with it. She just walked right past me. What is she doing in this muggle city? Oh, how I've missed her so. My long lost love... my angel... my Virginia.
I never really thought I'd see her after all these years. Has it really been 10 years? She hasn't changed a bit. Her face still unspoiled by time-- her eyes still twinkled like the stars; her full red lips that I have dreamt of kissing before were as lovely as ever; but most of all, her smile that had melted my heart of ice was still plastered on her face. She truly is still the young girl I used to love... maybe even still love.
Seeing her now brought back memories. The memories of the times & the feelings that I've never experienced with anyone before. Most of all I remember the love we had-- it was almost perfect. She was the only girl who I really & truly loved.
Even now with Pansy, whom I will be marrying in less than a month, I don't think I've ever loved her like I loved Ginny. I only like Pansy... not love her. Yes, I have finally given up the carefree life of a bachelor & will be settling down with her. Could the girl I have chosen to spend forever with be the right one?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh my God! Did I just see whom I thought I saw?! What is he doing here in Wales? It's packed with muggles & he hates muggles. The love of my live... my dragon... my Draco.
Of course it's him. Who else would have silvery-blond hair that I loved the most? Those steely gray eyes that never showed any emotion? The infamous smirk that had once drove me crazy? His most dominant features hadn't changed at all. He still looks like the Draco Malfoy that he had before... my Draco.
The memories of him rushed back to me like a wave. ALL the memories-- both the good and the bad. As much as he made me feel loved, no one had quite caused me a heartache that I got from him. I always kept thinking that he will come back to me. He always does, of course, but he also always breaks my heart. I waited for him to realize that it's ME he loves. But did he really love me? I never knew since he never showed any emotion willingly. Back then, I would never have given up on waiting for him-- I think I never have.
Suddenly, I heard ringing. O shit! My cell phone. I rummaged through my bag to find it. "Hello? Hello?" But there was no reply so I ended the call. Suddenly, it rang again. "Hello?" There was still no reply. I was so angry for having the caller interrupt my thoughts. "Okay you bastard! Who the fuck are you and what the hell do you want?!" Still no one responded. "Fine! Have it your way!" And I switched off the phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sorry didn't mean to call you but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak, couldn't even hide it
And so I surrendered, just to hear your voice.
Shit! That was so stupid! Why did I not say anything?! That's the purpose of calling some one isn't it?! I'm just plain stupid. I even got her mad. I wanted to apologize so I'll call her again-- I'd better say something this time.
I dialed her number again. Instead of the usual ringing it was a recording. "The subscriber cannot be reached. Please try your call later."
Dammit! She turned it off! I'm such a coward-- I can't even talk to the only girl I loved on the phone. I guess I'll just have to try again tonight if I really want to talk to her.
What now?! Don't tell me she tracked down my number… "Hello?"
"Hi Draco, honey! How are you?" It was Pansy.
"I'm fine Pansy. What do you want?!" I snapped at her for raising my hopes to think that it was Virginia calling.
"Nothing baby. I just wanted to make sure you're alright. You know how concerned I am about you, especially because of all those muggles surrounding you." She said as sweetly as possible.
I think she knew that I didn't truly love her. She knew that I was just tired of my life as it was—girls whom I played with, liquor overflowing, endless parties I went with my friends. She knew I just wanted to settle down & live a quiet life. I was sick and tired of it all. Pansy loved that life. Now I was completely sure that she wasn't the right wife for me. After seeing my long lost love, I knew I wanted her back… what ever the consequences. I'd just have to deal with Pansy later.
"Pansy, I think I need a break first." I said solemnly.
"What?! What's the matter?" She panicked. I knew she only wanted to marry me for one reason— money.
"Nothing, just wedding jitters I guess." I tried to cover up.
I didn't want her to know just yet. I would do it right in front of her. I would give up anything to see the expression on her face when I drop the bomb on her… it would be priceless. But in the back of my mind, I guess it was because I wanted to have insurance. Just incase Virginia didn't want me back.
"Oh! Okay. I'll leave you be for about a week. You can just enjoy your little vacation there & I'll take care of all the preparations here. When you get back baby, we're gonna get married! I'm so excited!" She chirped.
"Yeah, sure." Was all I could say before I ended the call.
Best be going back to the hotel. It's starting to get dark… and I'm getting tired with all the events of the day. I just can't believe my luck to be seeing my angel again… it's probably a sign or something.
Don't know how many times I said I'm gonna live without you,
and maybe someone else is standing there beside you,
but there's something, baby you need to know.
That deep inside me, I feel like I'm dying.
I have to see you, it's all that I'm asking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That sure was a long day. I'm just glad to be back home again. I really wasn't expecting to see Draco. After the last time, he had just disappeared, we just lost contact. Oh well, I have my own life now. He probably has his own too. Best just forget about him. Bringing up the past just wont help.
I hope that prank caller has given up already. Someone might need me. I'd better turn my phone back on. A nice hot shower would probably feel good.
Wow! I'm glad I decided to soak in the tub awhile… its better that the shower. Man, it's the phone again! Could the timing be any worse?! Honestly, just when I was starting to relax. I'd better get it though… might be someone important.
"Hello?" I said in a rather annoyed tone. Damn! Must be that prankster again— no answer.
"Fine asshole! Great timing—" I started to scream but I was interrupted.
"Virginia," That voice, one that I haven't heard in ages, came through the line. "Do you still recognize my voice?" How could I forget?
"Yeah," I said in a sigh. "Hi Dragon— I mean Draco. I'm sorry, it's just that I was so used in calling you that… but I don't think I should anymore." I quickly tried to cover up.
"That's okay Angel" he teased. "If you don't mind I call you that?" He asked hopefully.
"No problem Draco." I said calling him by his name. It just wouldn't seem right.
Silence. Just a long yet comfortable silence for a minute.
"I missed you." He suddenly said. Even he was surprised by what he had just said. I could tell by his tone. But since when could I read his emotions?
"And I, you Dragon." Damn! It just slipped out. I shouldn't have said that.
"Angel…" he started but was at a loss for words.
"Hmmm?" I said to try and fill in the silence.
"Would you mind if we meet?" Wow! That's a surprise. I couldn't say a thing.
"I mean, I you wouldn't want to see me ever again, I completely understand." He tried to cover up in a disappointed… no, hurt tone. Probably cause I didn't respond right away.
"I would love to!" I answered quickly. In the back of my mind I hesitated cause my life as it is, is doing great. I had to see him again though, that's why I agreed.
"Really?!" He asked, obviously quite surprised with my answer. "Thanks Angel!" I could hear a smile in his voice.
"No problem Draco. There obviously is no reason that we shouldn't meet." I said. A bit too eagerly. "I mean we are old friends aren't we?" I tried to cover up.
"Yeah." Is it just my imagination or did Draco sound a bit… well, disappointed.
"So where do we meet?" I asked.
"Wanna meet in Carlo's, it's an Italian restaurant downtown? At about 7:30. Is that ok with you?" He suggested.
"Yeah, sure. I haven't been there though I like trying new things. Bye." I said, desperate to end the conversation. It was just getting too… awkward. Just my nerves I guess.
"Bye, Angel!" He finally said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I don't believe she agreed to meet me! But what was that thing she said about being an old friend? Is that all I am to her now, an old FRIEND?! Well, I shouldn't expect much. I've been out of her life for quite a while now. At least she isn't mad at me. I know I've hurt her deeply before. This time I'll make things right. If only she'd give me a chance
Vida, give me back my fantasies,
The courage that I need to live
The air that I Breathe
Carino mio, my world's become so empty
My days are so cold and lonely,
and each night I taste
1 The purest of Pain
I'm gonna be seeing my angel again tomorrow. I'm soooooo excited! Oh great! She's making me feel like a young schoolboy all over again. Shouldn't I have been over this stage already? Grow up Draco!
I should get some sleep. But I'm not sleepy yet. I just can't help but think about her. She's driving me insane…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I'm meeting Draco tomorrow & I sure need my beauty sleep. That's the problem though… I just can't help but think about. I just can't help but remember the past, back when I was my Dragon's Angel…
A/N: Well, did any one like it? If so, PLEASE REVIEW. This is my first fic EVER so be gentle. =)
