Beautiful Stranger
Chapter Four: And Then Tomorrow Came: The First Dream
Draco found himself gaping at the girl, his head raised, clutching his head in terror. He let out a scream as she proceeded to run. "Stop!" his mouth rasped, but the word did not seem to get out. The halls were so still, it felt as if he would faint right then and there. So many feelings rushed in and out of his mind that he felt as if he could not stop himself.
But then, a hand patted his shoulder and he turned around, staring into the dewed eyes of Harry James Potter, who was looking at him with his lips set in a firm line, and his eyes determined.
"You just broke a promise." the words tumbled out of Harry's mouth before he turned around and stalked away, leaving Draco to look after him in complete shock.
~*~*~
It was hard to tell what she was feeling right now.
Disgust.
Anger.
Disbelief.
Maybe those were the words. Clutching her bag tightly around her hands, she looked at the cab driver, who was steadily seeping amongst the roads.
Why was this happening to her, of all people?
Didn't she deserve anything good? And everything she expected.
She expected to find her mother.
The mother that had left her in a muggle family years ago, leaving her hardly a baby.
Tears bulged in her eyes, and she tried very hard to gulp back the pain & misery when she was at the muggle family. The family that never loved her..the family that never even cared...
Flashback
It must have been months ago. I remember sitting down on the chair, looking up into the sky, and examining the blood on my arm.
Of course that is because the man in the family who was supposed to be my father hit me every single day with his belt.
So many nights where he got drunk and hit me with the belt, the blood never stopped. It seeped through my precious skin, and it sent bruises to my heart.
I coughed everyday, but nobody asked me why. I was never taken to the docter when I had spit blood out while I was coughing. Nobody cared if my lungs were good or not.
I felt guilty that I wanted to call my mother a son of a bitch. Because she was one.
But as I sat in that chair, I was too young to know anything, probably about 8 or 7 years old, and this lady stopped and stared at me.
She had sunglasses, which was strange because they were dark and it was a cool and refreshing day with some rain.
She didn't even smile.
"Why are you so sad?" she had asked me, avoiding my eyes.
I shrugged, and then she bit her lip as if trying to handle herself from saying or doing something stupid.
Saying nothing more, she walked away rather stiffly, her flaming red hair behind her.
And that was the second time besides my birth...that I had seen my mother.
End Of Flashback
~*~*~
The music blared in his ears, and he heard her come to him.
"Want one?" her beautiful voice sounded, and before he could answer what "one" meant, she sat on his lap, one leg on his waist, the other on her hip and she leaned over, grinning playfully.
"Mmm.." he managed to groan, and his hands wandered over to the small of her neck, smoothing her skin gently.
She let out a fresh gasp, her red hair tickiling his neck as she leaned foward and brushed his lips just slightly with hers.
"God..." he said, and he pressed himself against her.
She bucked her hips, wanting for more.
"Please..." he managed to breathe out. Her lips crinkled into a smile before she sighed, and her breasts touched his chest lightly, and her teeth nipped at his bottom lip.
His hardness was pressing against her thigh now, and all of the other girls dancing around didn't matter. She mattered. Only her.
But then there was screaming. She jumped up from his lap, and he felt her tightly around the waist and they both turned around just enough to see a shade of red clinging and running before there was a flash of green. Something collapsed on his arms, and he passed out, feeling something sting between his fingers. Something red on his fingers..something red & liquid. Nothing made sense, but the flash of green striked him in the stomach before he knew anymore.
~*~*~
"AHHHH!" Draco's scream flooded the whole bedroom, and he breathed heartily, and looked at the sleeping figure next to him. Hermione.
Shock and terror washed over him and then he finally realized of course, Hermione. She was now his wife right?
But he felt regret. Some unknown feeling gave over to him.
The dream had been so real..so vivid..it was full of color...but it was blurry as well.
He got up, and realized that his hands were sticky.
He let out a gasp as he parted them.
Blood was soaring along his fingertips.
~*~*~
In case your thinking "WHAT THE HELL?" in the dream, he saw something red & liquid in on his hands so... heehe :)
SPECIAL NOTE TO DINKY:
(dinky /profile.php?userid=173926 2002-09-22 3 Signed Your chapters are way, way too short. Your first 3 chapters could have been put together to make one chapter. Your writing style is fine, but that fact that 3/4 of your chapter is just shout outs and such makes it very annoying to read. You shouldn't post until you have a real chapter ready, otherwise you're going to lose your reviewers. I will be checking to see what your next chapter is like. But personally, if you can't write a longer chapter than 10-11 lines, I won't be reading it any further. It's quite a let down.)
Listen sweetie, have u ever gotten 100 reveiws? Ever written a story with 14 chapters? More? No? No? No??? Do I care what you think? Frankly, let me think about this...um...NO?? Do I love my reveiwers? Yes. Are you an idiot? Anything is possible..
I guess what I want TO SAY HERE IS...REALLY GRAMMER DOESNT MATTER AS LONG AS ITS A LITTLE DECENT. The plot matters!!! THE PLOT. Do you know of this word? For all my life I've gotten corrections and really I don't care anymore. Its whats inside the story that counts. Are you going to read the whole dictionary because it's long? No. You read stories because they have PLLOOOTTTTSS. Your probably not reading this, but I wanted to make myself clear that hon, your just one person. And if you think my chapters aren't long enough, hmmm *smashes something in dinky/jenny's face* Ohh, is that schnoogle.com? Is that my author page?? OOOO!! My chapter is 11 pages long from one of my stories! I've written 106 stories, hon, and most of them are not in the site. So please do not SPEAK TO ME! ABOUT NUMBERS...(http://www.astronomytower.org/authorLinks/Courtney_S_A/)
*takes deep breath*
Whew!!! I really hate flames, and I don't know why I only get a few here and there, I am surprised a lot of people havent flamed yet, but I guess it's because I go a little um..(mutters insane) when I get flames..I never flamed a story b4 only like once, and I dont think its fair that some people flame and steal my stories when i never did nothing to them!!! For Darling readers, I think someone stole my idea, but I wont say anything until I am sure.
Now for my favorite Reveiws:
Nattie made me laugh by saying: *gasps* WHAT A SUPRISE ;)
ok, i'm joking, that sent chills up my spine...It was so cool, omg. What if draco grabbed her and kissed her? like the way he kisses Ginny..that would be scary, lol. Best not think about it.
Ummm...this part was definately the best -- "What's wrong, Daddy? Don't you regonize your own daughter?"
Rach said: Okay... before I go into my spazmodic convulsions... what do you mean by "whats going on in hp.com? i miss it!!" Because I checked your "Kiss is Just a Kiss" thread and... ahh whats her name?? I dont remember lol but someone was like "If she doesnt come back soon I'm gonna finish this..." Yeah... so... anyways...
OMG IT WASNT GINNY! OMG OMG!!!! I'm sooooo happy Draco gets to meet his kid! Yes!!!!!!!! OMG whats her name?! I think it should be Rachel but thats just me... ;) OMG how did she find out? Poor Hermione... her wedding got ruined!! Awwwww.... OMG OMG!!!....
Calming breaths, calming breaths...
Oh, can you do me a favor? I wrote a poem Cliche and it sort of inspired by your - Sweetie. Anyway if you could R/R it I would be very grateful *sweet smile, then goes into more convulsions and rereads the story* Summerthyme said: Oh.
My.
God.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! SHIT SHIT SHIT! You mean that's *NOT* Ginny, it's . . . HER DAUGHTER?! OH MY GOD! Wow, here I was so concerned about Ginny, and the stalker answer was just waving it's great big fanny in my face without me noticing. I doubt I would have noticed it if it danced in front of me wearing only Dobby's tea cozy! YOWZAS! I wonder how Draco's going to react? Damn. What a major kick in the balls for him! If I was in his shiny black shoes, I'd probably die of shock. Holy cow! I'd give my daughter a great big hug, and ask her if she knew where her mummy was. Let's see, Ginny would be about 28 now, right? And she had the chica when she was 16 . . . so Draco's daughter should be twelve? I'm not sure, I was never good at math ^_^ Besides, my brain has been officially FRIED because of this!
Courtney, CONTINUE CONTINUE CONTINUE! Yowzas! I've totally and completely FLIPPED MY FREAKIN' LID! I *need* more, I must have it! PLEASE! I'm going to be driven crazy by this! Yin said (omg..so many silent readers finally confessed!!!): OMG! Ahhh the suspense! *faints then gets back up* I've been reading all your stories but I didn't review cause I'm stupid *grin*! They are really well written. I love how you keep on updating! Keep up the good work!
OHHH! The plot thickens, Draco doesn't love Hermionie! He loves Ginny! AHHH! This is too much for my little brain, make me happy and bring Ginny back in! **does happy dance around the computer** Write! Write! Write! Yay your own little one person cheerleading squad. *does chartwheel and falls on rump, ouch* AngelicDevil said: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNEW IT!!!!!!! THE SLUT'S OWN DAUGHTER,teehee,if it was a male,i could of called it a son of a bitch.:)
Well,that was interesting. Just wondering,how old would she be??!!! I asume only like 7 or 8....... or even less.......oh well...ane ways,
KEEP WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know,I use to be a Harry and Hermione reader,then Harry and Ginny,then Hermione and Draco,then Draco and Ginny,then Draco and Harry for a short period of time,then back to Draco and Hermione,now I read Hermione and Severus Snape fics. Interesting,huh? Your story is just about the only Draco/Ginny story I ever read!!
Keep on scribbling!!
