Hi every one, this is the next chapter, I have to appologise that this
chapter is not very funny, it is very thought provoking, but not funny.
I also have to appologise for my shocking spelling and punctuation.
and I am also sorry if Draco's thoughts contradict himself from last chapter...I hope they dont.
*********
"Malfoy, take a deep breath, I think you have gone a little delusional" Ginny exclaimed.
"Truth ot dare" He replied casually.
"You are serious about this, you really want to play some juvinille muggle game?" She asked, Draco smiled.
"It will help us get to know each other a little better...we can ask each other questions, any questions that we want to ask, and we have to answer truthfully" Draco told her. Ginny thought for a few seconds, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea, there were a lot of things she had always wanted to know about Malfoy, now was her chance.
"You promise nothing we tell each other will leave this room?" She asked, He nodded.
"Your secret is safe with me...and believe me, I am harder to get into then the chamber of secrets" Draco told her, she smiled slightly and then moved to sit on the ground across from him.
"So we can ask each other any thing...what about the dare thing?" Ginny asked.
"Well, obviously we cant do dares, so I guess it is just truth and truth." Draco replied, Ginny smiled.
"Fine I will play" Ginny replied, Draco grinned wickedly, and Ginny began to regret her decision.
"Ok, Truth or thruth?" He asked, Ginny smiled.
"I'll choose truth" She replied.
"Is there, or has there, ever been anything going on between you and Potter?" Draco asked, Ginny smiled.
"you are not going to let this Potter thing go are you?" She asked, Draco smiled and shook his head "No, nothing has ever gone on with me and Harry"
"Nothing?" He questioned.
"Nothing, well, I kissed him once, but that is all...are you happy now?" she asked, he smiled and shook his head.
"You only kissed him?" Draco repeated.
"Oh, shut up, it is my turn, truth or truth?" Ginny asked
"Truth" she replied.
"Do you want to be in Slytherin?" She asked, he took a deep breath before he continued.
"I used to, but I only ever wanted to because it was what my father wanted. When I was really little and my dad first told me about Hogwarts, i wanted to be in Ravenclaw. But then I wanted to be in Slytherin cos of my father and his friends, now I dont know, I would rather any house but Slytherin" He said, Ginny was surprised by his truthfulness, she never expected him to tell the truth about his feelings
"Oh" She replied, she didn't know what to say.
"My turn...are you a virgin?" Draco asked, and then took satisfaction in Ginny's slight discomfort.
"Ummm......." Ginny began, Draco laughed.
"Cant find the words huh?" Malfoy smiled, Ginny smirked at him.
"I have never gone that far but I have gotten pretty close" She blushed.
"Oh, with who...?" Draco asked, leaning forward.
"No fair, it is my question" Ginny replied "Are you a virgin?"
She didn't know why she had asked that, she knew the answer the whole population of the school knew that Draco malfoy was not...
"I am a Virgin" he told her, and Ginny's thoughts stopped.
"Mind repeating that?" She asked, Draco looked at her.
"I am a virgin, I have never...you know" Draco blushed slightly. Ginny was choking with shock.
"But you are such a slut, every girl knows that...even a few girls from Gryffindor..." Ginny told him, trying hard to fit together a sentence, Draco laughed slightly.
"I respect my self a lot more than most people think I do" Draco replied, Ginny was still trying to come to terms with his confession.
"But the girls, I ve heard them gossiping..." Ginny said, Draco laughed.
"Nothing ever happens, I let the girls say what the want to say. I dont care as long as it is not true" Draco told her.
"But..." Ginny went to say some thing, Draco laughed.
"I know what you are going to say...yes, I do date them all, I just dont want to do any thing more with them, I do have some self respect and I wish to wait for the right girl..." Draco explained.
"I thought you said you dont believe in fairy tale love" Ginny reminded him, he smiled.
"I dont believe in fairy tale love, I dont believe in happily ever afters, but I do believe in soul mates, I am not going to sit around waiting for mine to show up, I am going to live, but when I find her, I will know" Draco told her "Love is not choclates and roses..."
"You speak from experience?' Ginny asked, Draco snapped out of his thoughts.
"My turn...who did you almost go all the way with?" Draco asked, Ginny's cheeks burned bright red and she coughed a name.
"I am sorry, I didn't hear that Weasley"
"Neville Longbottom" She muttered
"Did you just say Neville Longbottom?" Draco laughed.
"Hey, dont act like that, he is really sweet" Ginny blushed.
"Neville Longbottom" He weezed. "But he is such a clutz"
"Hey, what he lacks in acedemic classes he makes up for in other departments" She informed, Draco clamped his hands over his ears.
"I am going to pretend I dodn hear that" Draco moaned.
"Would you like me to change the subject?" Ginny asked, Draco nodded.
"Who were you in love with?" she asked.
Draco looked at her and frowned. "So, Neville Longbottom huh?"
"Come on Malfoy, dont try and get out of your question" Ginny replied.
"It is not important...all you really need to know is she is not around any more" Draco replied sadly.
"What happened?" She asked.
"I lived, I loved, she left," Draco told her, Ginny realised it was painful for him.
"How long agao?" She asked
"A year" Draco replied sadly, she smiled sadly at him.
"Is that why you dont stay with one person for very long?" She asked soflty.
"If I dont stick around, I cant fall in love" He told her, she sighed sadly.
"If you jump into another verse of that is so sad, I will kill you" He smiled. Ginny laughed.
"If you never open your heart..." She began.
"If I never open my heart up to some one, they will never be able to rip it out of my chest" He replied.
"This is a subject we agree to disagree on" Ginny smiled, he nodded.
"Do you really believe that love is the answer to everything?" He asked
"Yes, it is...the reason the wizarding world is messed up is because no one takes the time to love" She told him.
"How do you figure?" Draco asked, Ginny sighed.
"Do you really think he-who-must-not-be-named would be as evil as he is now if he was loved as a kid. Tom Riddle was an orphan, if he had been looked after and loved as a kid, he may not have rebelled with such major events" Ginny told him.
"Are you scared to say his name?" Draco asked her.
"I was always told that his true name was something to be feared. I am not afraid to say it, it is just after so many years, I am used to not saying it" Ginny explained.
"That is another place in which we are different, i was never told to fear any thing" Draco replied.
"You believe yourself to be fearless?" She asked him, He smiled slightly at her.
"I was never told to fear, that does not mean that I do not fear...of course I get scared of things" Draco told her.
"What are you scared of?" Ginny asked.
"I am scared of alot of things, Scared of heartache, scared of death..." Draco replied.
"Surely, you dont fear death?" She asked, amazed.
"I am scared of dying before my time, if I have lived a long and eventfull life, then sure, but if I have not had the time to truely live" Draco told her.
"How can you truely live if you dont love?" She asked, smiling.
"Get over it Weasley" Draco grinned.
"Do you fear anything else?" Ginny asked
"I fear myself" Draco replied sincerely.
"How do you fear yourself?" She asked
"I know how I think, and I know how my father thinks, but I dont know how I would act if my father was to force his believes onto me...I fear that I would act in a way I shouldn't just because my father tells me to" Draco replied.
"Do you love your father?" Ginny asked softly. Draco shook his head at her.
"It is impossible to love my father...and it is impossible to be loved by my father. My father gave up the ability to love when he became a death eater, it took me a while to realise that, I spent the first fifteen years of my life trying to impress him, acting as the son of a death eater should, but then I realised there was really no point. He only wanted a son to carry on the Malfoy name..." Draco told her, Ginny nodded, some how understanding.
"What about you, do you love your family?" Draco asked, Ginny smiled.
"Of course, I love my parents and my brothers" Ginny replied.
"What is it like to live in a loving family?" Draco asked
"Busy, when we are all in the same house, it is very busy...plus Harry and Hermione are like family to. Some times it can get annoying, especially when it feels like I have 8 fathers..." Ginny explained.
"8 fathers?' Draco asked, confused
"Dad, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Harry, they all think they know what is best for me" Ginny told him, Draco smiled.
"I would rather have 8 people who cared about me than one person who doesn't" Draco replied, Ginny smiled.
"They just get so overbearing" She replied, he smiled.
"But at least you are protected" Draco replied, Ginny smiled.
"Yeah...What about your mother?" Ginny asked
"What about her? She weak of mind and weak in character" Draco replied.
"But she cares?" Ginny asked
"If she remembers that i even exist" Draco replied. "I was raised by house elves"
"Honestly?" She asked
"I hardly ever saw my parents growing up" He told her. Ginny was just about to say 'How sad' when he smiled.
"But I turned out ok. House elves are not that bad. They taught me a few things" Draco replied.
"Like what?" she asked
"Well, I can cook" Draco replied.
"I never expected you to be able to cook" Ginny smiled
"Well, I am just full of surprises" he laughed, Ginny smiled at him.
"Do you have a lifes ambition?" She asked him
"To be nothing like my father" Draco replied, determined. Ginny smiled at him. "Do you have an ambition?" He asked her.
"No really, I like to take each day as it comes" Ginny replied.
"So you have no idea what you want to do with your life?" Draco asked. Ginny shrugged.
"More than likely not, I'll probably just end up teaching or some thing" She told him, he smiled.
"i will probably just teach to...I am not a good enough seeker to play professional" Draco told her.
"That is not true, you are the second best seeker at this school" Ginny told him.
"Second to Potter" Draco replied "Every one will want him on their team"
"He is not going into professional quidditch" Ginny informed him "So maybe you will have a shot at the big time"
"Maybe I will" he replied happily.
"Ok, next question...if you could be doing any thing else right now, what would you do?" She asked
Draco took a deep breath, reached forward, and lightly pressed his lips to hers.
