Chapter 2
A/n: So this is the 2nd chapter! I'm really really happy about all the reviews I got! (special thx at the end of the story). Hmm...I love reviews and my readers of course! Hehe, well, on with the story now!
Previously. It was going to be all over. She closed her eyes and tilted her head up towards the wind, whispering her silent goodbyes to the world. She lifted her feet of the ground and out of the window. She sighed and let herself go. ~**~**~
She thought she was going to dive but instead she felt an icy grip catch her hand, pulling her away from her desire to die. "Was this Angel of Death's grip? Was he going to take her away? Had she already died of a broken heart even before her suicide?" she wondered insanely to herself.
The icy hand which caught her hand was none other than Draco Malfoy (A/n: duh!). He had planned it beautifully. Just as she was about to be lost in the abyss, he would be like her knight in shining armour to rescue her at the very last possible moment.
Draco underestimating his strength, yanked Ginny's arm so hard that she stumbled off the parapet and onto the cold hard ground in a heap, letting out a soft yelp of pain. Good, Draco thought, she's finally snapped back into reality.
The sudden fall and jolt of pain broke her train of thought and transported her back to her sanity. For a moment she thought she was being dragged into hell because of her past 'sins' until she realised she was right back at where she began - highest level of Gryffindor tower. The first thing she felt when she fell was the obvious pain, then she felt ridiculously cold, shivering in fact. That was when she heard a voice whisper the reverse spell to replace the glass. She was beginning to feel very disorientated, until she met the eyes of her 'saviour'.
Those lazy grey eyes, the eyes she would never forget. At first, they seemed so familiar yet so distant.as if from a dream.only until she heard him speak his cruel voice that she recalled instantly who this young man was.
" Foolish, Weasley, foolish," He drawled, his eyes meeting hers still retaining his nonchalant look. At first Ginny did not speak, her brains were still in a blender getting mixed up, she couldn't really piece everything that was going on together. She just stared back at the person she was suppose to hate, suddenly not even remembering why she hated him.
" You're such a sad thing, Weasley, you should be sent to St. Mungo's or something." Still the blurry girl gaped at him. Draco made a face and turned his back against her, now looking at the moon in the sky through the window.
" Would you quit staring at me like a retard already, Weasley?! For God's sake, are your brains that fucking jumbled up that you can't even recognise your 'sworn enemy' anymore?" Ginny could see from behind when Draco said sworn enemy he lifted his arms and quoted with his two fingers. Somehow she had found this comical in Draco Malfoy and let out a shy giggle. Draco spun round with anguish written all over his face.
" What the...! I've just saved your sorry arse, mind you! And here you are giggling at an insult I just threw at you?! Stupid Red-Headed no brainer air-head- "
SMACK!
" Shut up Draco Malfoy, you bloody git, don't you ever dare say that about me in my face. I swear I will rip your little weeny out and attach it to your hollow head!" She was focused at the matter at hand now. She had given him one right across the left cheek and threatened him daringly, pointing her wand directly at his crotch, ready to perform a severing spell any moment.
" How suggestive you can be, Firey one.but yes I would like to keep my manhood attached to it's proper positioning instead of an awkward position which requires me sticking my head into a toilet bowl to pee." He smirked at her mischievously. It was his charm, so boyish and irresistible even Ginny couldn't help but let down her guard. Slowly she withdrew her wand.
" Ugh. I hate you." She muttered to herself.
" What was that? I hate you? But how could you darling, I saved you from breaking all your bones into a million pieces! Don't I get even a little credit?" Draco said in a very kid-like tone, arousing Ginny's fury even more.
" Credit?! I didn't ASK to be saved, Malfoy! I WANTED my bones to break into a million pieces, I wanted to run away, I wanted to be free from this horrible school and this horrible world - I wanted to DIE, Malfoy, DIE!" her last words were shaky, she could feel her emotions getting the better of her.
Draco found this little lecture of hers so familiar, it had sounded so much like himself not too long ago when he detested the world and how horrible it was. He too had wanted to commit suicide until he came to a realization. He was about to relate that to the little Weasley.
" And why would Little Miss Perfect want to die?" Ginny flinched and closed her eyes as she remembered that spiteful nickname.
" You have looks, money (Mr Weasley is Minister, therefore getting more pay) and stinking Potter, what more could you ask for?" Draco now propped himself onto the parapet and leaned against the wall, his knees bent and arms dangling over his kneecaps.
" Don't talk like you know me Draco Malfoy, because you don't, nobody does!" Ginny snapped. She was still standing at the same spot, now with her arms crossed over her chest. Draco merely snorted at her retort, he was fumbling with something around his neck.
" Well well well, looks who's talking now, eh Weasley?"
" What's there to know about you, Malfoy? You've been cruel and mean to everyone since the beginning of time, not much of a thing to debate about."
" Don't you realise it, Weasley? You're no different from the people who criticise you. Isn't that what they think of you as well? They all think you're little miss perfect; end of story, nothing to know about you here. So they form up conclusions in their tiny brains by themselves. Isn't that how you are judging me as well?" He didn't look at Ginny at all and spoke in a very calm manner.
Ginny hadn't realised her mistake and she flushed a deep red when she was told off by Draco. But he was right though, that was how people saw her, superficially and materialistically. But how could he have known how she felt? Had he had this sort of problem before too?
" Sorry..." she said very softy.
" Don't be sorry, Weasley.never be sorry for anything."
Silence. Ginny didn't know whether to leave or stay.
" So. You say that I don't know you enough to judge you, eh? Well then, why don't you tell me who is the real Virginia Weasley?"
How odd that sounded to Ginny's ears, it was something no one had ever asked her before. Not her brothers, parents, friend or even Harry; let alone Draco Malfoy.
Her legs were getting cramped and her hands were clammy so she walked over to the parapet where Draco was sitting and sat herself opposite him. Draco merely raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"So?"
"Why would you want to know about me, Malfoy? You've never given a rat's ass about me during all my school years, so why the sudden interest?" Draco wasn't looking at Ginny when she said this, he drew out the necklace he fumbling with and started to examine it even more.
" I won't lie to you, Weasley, but it seems that I see something in you that. as odd as it may sound. remind me of myself not too long ago." When he ended the sentence he lifted his head slightly to look at her eyes. Ginny felt a jolt in her heart when she met Draco's gaze. The grey was intense but empty at the same time, they were so attractive, it was like they were emitting electricity (A/n: ok, muggle term, I know).
" I see..." She was at a lost for words, those eyes of his were making her speechless.
" Are you going to answer my previous question?" He broke his gaze and went back to his necklace. Ginny notice it was a simple necklace. An image of a small Dragon made from pewter hung on a simple stained metal chain. There was something about that dragon too, she realised, it seemed like its eyes were as intense as Draco's.
" Erm...ok...what would you want to know?" she asked unsurely.
" Hmm...treat me like you would a new diary, introduce me to your world and then perhaps I may be able to relate."
" How should I start...ok, let's see. I wan born into a family with seven other brothers. They were all 'great and spectacular' in their own special ways and I was always the one who had an expectation to live up to..."
Draco cut in, " Me too..." He remembered his father's words, telling him what a powerful wizard he would be one day. Ginny gave him a puzzled look but continued anyway.
" Our family was poor blah blah blah.fast forward into my first year, I was in love with Harry Potter who is my git-of-a-boyfriend currently." Draco smied ever so slightly at Ginny's comment.
" You know you should smile more, your smile...it's very captivating..."
" Hmm...I'll try to remember that...anyway, tell me things I don't already know. I mean I know about your family being poor and all those stuff, I want to know about YOU." Finally he dropped his necklace back into is shirt and stared up at her again searching her eyes out. This made Ginny slightly nervous.
" O. I see, well I told you I wasn't really any good at this. OK, my full name is Virginia Eve Weasley. Everyone in this school thinks I'm just a stupid stuck-up bimbo airhead with no brains or feelings. I hate it when they say that because I know it's not true. I'd rather work with Hagrid and the animals all day instead of strutting down a runway being a TeenWitch model. I love animals; they're so pure and innocent unlike humans. Animals show what they feel, it's in your face so there's no façade or silly games to play, it's just there." She paused for a while and laid her chin on top of her hands, which were on her knee caps and sighed.
" I feel so misunderstood and so angry that everyone doesn't know me even well enough to ill-speak about me. It's just not right. I'm not a stupid girl who can't pass her examinations; I actually do well for them. I'm like everyone else; I mug for my studies and spend time revising my work. But when I do get good grades, everyone thinks that I must have cheated or something. They all think I'm too busy fucking boys to study. Hell, I'm still a - " Ginny suddenly realised she was rambling on and on and she almost let out something so personal to a stranger.
" A virgin." Draco completed her sentence for her. Ginny blushed slighty, under the moonlight, Draco couldn't help but notice, her face was radiant and glowing.
" You surprise me time and time again, Weasley. It's surprising how much we have in common. Although if you asked me to work with Hagrid with the animals, I'd rather take a past and be a model. Hey, don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate animals, I adore them, really, but call me a prissy git or whatever you want but I hate getting dirty, ok?" He confessed like a little boy which made Ginny giggle thinking it was so cute of him.
" Laugh, laugh all you want. As I was saying...I don't have to study, I'm just naturally intelligent." He announced pompously.
" Getting smug now, aren't you?"
" It's my nature to be smug and sarcastic, Weasley, I won't deny it, coz' that's who I am and I can't change that. You've got to get that clear Wealsey, who you really are isn't who people think you are. If you really are who you say you are then why don't you prove it to everyone out there? Show them the real you and let your inner star shine."
Ginny was slightly overwhelmed by what Draco had just told her. It felt comforting that someone could understand and relate to what she was going through, but who would've thought it would be Draco Malfoy?
There was silence for a few moments until Ginny blurted out.
" Would you help me?"
" Excuse me?"
" Would you help me make my 'inner star shine'? I could use a little help you know?"
" Erm...ok..."
She smiled. A smile so sweet it could rival honey.
" Thank you." She whispered softly.
"So...Draco..." She said his name! " Tell me about you as well? Is there anything nobody knows about you? Your deep dark secrets?"
" Introduction to Draco Malfoy's sick and twisted world. Many people don't know that I'm actually quite an artistic person." This time it was Ginny's turn to raise her eyebrow.
" What? Is it so hard to believe?" He smiled so innocently; it was hard to resist his charms.
" No. But this is."
She leant over to Draco and covered his cold lips with her tender ones. Draco without hesitation complied to her rude entrance.
