I Really Do Believe That I Don't Belong Here

Chapter Eleven – That's What Brothers Are

By Lindsey Ann

Author Notes: Whoa almost a whole month since I last posted anything. I'm very sorry, but I did this chapter over and over again, just to make sure I kept Fred and George's spirit, while I kept Draco in a like Draco way, well, just tried to keep some of his traits. Gin deserves some much credit, she e-mailed me several times and even IMed me to make sure I was writing this...

Summary: Ginny Weasley has always been unsure about herself, especially when it comes to the fact that she belongs in Gryffindor. In a long talk with Draco Malfoy, she starts to think he actually does act like a person, and that maybe she belongs in Slytherin with him.

--------------------

Virginia Weasley, who normally was very patient, hated the last two weeks of school. It wasn't exams that made her hate it. No, it was her waiting for the summer break to start, where she could spend nearly all of it with Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy, somebody she once loathed, now was someone she loved. And, love luckily was a very powerful thing for the two teenagers. Love had helped Draco Malfoy change his life around. Love had helped Virginia Weasley to mature into a young woman. Love did many things.

"Ginny, what did you just say?" Ron shouted at her. It was funny, he thought he heard her say, "Draco is spending the summer with us." It couldn't be possible. Mum and Dad would definitely object, wouldn't they? Unless maybe Draco drugged them to say yes, so he could kill Harry over the summer! That or get his sister in a terrible situation. The thought of it brought disgust in his voice.

Over the past week the two siblings had learned how to talk. The Dream team (Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ginny's own brother, Ronald Weasley made it up) had begun to sit by her. Maybe because they believed they wouldn't hear about Draco Malfoy anymore. They hadn't seen Ginny or Draco together, nor did Ginny talk about him. "I said, Ron, Draco is spending the summer with us."

"At the Burrow?" Ron asked. Maybe Ginny found out that aliens were going to kidnap the Weasley family (including the almost son to Molly, Harry) and Draco Malfoy over the summer break, so they could plot world domination? Or maybe those aliens would want to capture the Weasleys and Draco Malfoy so that they could offer up Draco as a living sacrifice to their alien god while the Weasley's watched as witnesses! All of the ideas were outrageous, but the thought of Draco Malfoy coming to the Burrow was even more outrageous.

"Yes, Ron, at the Burrow." Ginny replied back into a flat tone. She watched Ron's expression (which before Draco Malfoy came up was a very happy expression. Ginny had figured Hermione had finally hooked up with him) turn into a very red one, furiously mad.

"HOW DID YOU GET MUM TO OKAY IT?" Ron roared out causing everyone in the Great Hall to stare at the four. Ron fired back an expression for them to mind their own business. He lowered his voice, "What did you do? Drug mum or something?"

Virginia giggled. "Well since you're having Harry over. Mum thought that it'd be fair for me to have a guy to mess around with." She said giving off a devilish grin, which obviously she got from Draco.

Ron knew that Virginia was saying that just to bug him. And it bugged the crap out of him. Who knew his sweet little sister Ginny was such a devil? "What do you mean "mess around"...? Don't tell me you two are doing that!" Ron yelled loud enough for only the four to hear. And he crossed his arms. And then he thought it over.... his younger sister, that snot, said he and Harry were having a relationship! But before he could give his sister a piece of his mind, Harry said something.

"Okay, if you hadn't noticed Ginny... Hermione and Ron are going out," Harry seemed almost grumpy when he said it like maybe he had feelings for the frizzy haired muggle born witch. Only Ginny seemed to think this. "So you're tease doesn't work out."

"Ron, don't take things so rash. Maybe I meant mess around with like hanging out?" Ginny asked as the grin remained on her face.

"Ginny, messing around is when... well, you know," it seemed like Ron was uncomfortable talking about the subject, or at least uncomfortable with talking about it with his younger (and only) sister.

"No, I don't know."

"You do to!"

"Nope."

"Ginny, it's when you sleep with a guy!" She giggled. She got it out of her brother, out of much protest though.

"Oh, you mean if I climbed in innocently next to Draco in his bed and slept with him... then I'd be messing around?"

"You idiot! You know what it means. STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU DON'T!"

It went on all breakfast like that. Ginny trying to get out of Ron just what exactly what "messing around" was. Harry was pretty much silent through the whole argument. Which seemed strange, why would Harry be quiet? You figured with all of the girls who liked him that he'd know all about the subject.

-------------

Ron yelled after the twins. He needed to know if they knew about Ginny's behavior. If they didn't, then he'd tell them and make them talk some sense into her. Maybe she would listen to them more? If they did, he was going to have to yell some more for the day. Why wouldn't they try something if they knew?

Sometimes Ron didn't understand his own family.

"Yeah, Ronsy?" George asked as only he turned around. They we're pulling a prank on someone and Fred was watching to make sure it would happen.

"Quit it with the Ronsy stuff, George." Ron said in a very aggravated voice. He was nervously scanning the area. "Do you know about Ginny and the Ferret?" He asked as he hoped no one else besides George would hear.

Fred laughed. "You mean Ginny with Malfoy?"

"Yes."

"Of course. Wait, hold on," he said as he walked away and hid with Ron.

Two figures were coming down the hall. One was a tall blonde haired male and the other was a flaming red female. It was Draco and Ginny. They were laughing. Ron hated to admit it, but they looked happy together. They looked really happy. Fred was holding a camera while George was snickering.

Ron flinched as he saw Draco put his slimy fingers on Ginny's cheek and softly brushed his lips on hers. At the same time, a flash happened as well. George and Fred snickered. Though Ginny who was touched by the magic of moment, she never noticed them. When the couple left, George and Fred came out of hiding.

"What was that for?" Ron asked. "You took a picture of them, ick, kissing."

"Oh, it's part of a genius plan, Ronsy." Fred said.

"All for Draco when he comes to the Burrow.  Merlin, I love my life," George piped in.

"So you knew?! Why didn't you say something?" Ron asked. He couldn't believe his family some times. He sighed as he listened to Fred explain his evil plot.

"At first, it was like, oh how cute, Ginny and Malfoy. Who would have known, ya know? We did think it was weird that he was coming." He paused for a moment. "But look on the bright side of things; we have yet another person to test out our stuff on!" Then the twins left Ron.

How come Ginny told the twins first? Ron always assumed they were the closer siblings. Then again he should have known that he broke part of their friendship when he yelled that one Christmas Day.

--------------

But this was MALFOY of all people. The same guy who had mocked him and his friends, not to forget his little sister. The same rich spoiled git who got everything he wanted. The same idiot with parents in You-Know-Who's inner circle. It was enough to make his blood boil. "Virginia Weasley… How could you?" He said.

"How could I act like a human being? I don't know Ron, maybe because I am one!" Ginny shouted back angrily at Ron, it was the first time that she had ever yelled at her brother with such fury. Words could not describe the anger she felt within.

"Virginia Weasley! Dating … Is perfectly normal when its someone you care about. But this is MALFOY OF ALL PEOPLE!" Ron shouted back at her.

"Why do you make assumptions of how a person is-?" Ginny was interrupted by Ron.

"Because, Ginny, I know who he is. He's out to manipulate you, so he can earn his Dark Lord's respect." Ron said. He did have the best of intentions for Ginny. He had to act like this because otherwise someone would end up breaking her heart. Just like Malfoy would.

Maybe Ron's questioning that day was a little over reactive. But didn't Ginny realize that he did it for her good? Doesn't she realize that there could be a possible chance that this is just a plan? Doesn't she know that he only intends good for her? Doesn't she understand that's just what older brother do? Doesn't she know anything?

--------------------

"So, Gin, what was it you needed to tell us?" Fred asked after the trio successfully ran away from an angry Angelina, a really angry one. ("Better watch out, she may want to bash us at dinner or something," Fred cautioned George.)

"You have to promise first."

"Promise what?" George asked.

"That you won't tell Ron." Ginny said as she held out her hand to George. When they agreed (after much teasing, "Oh la la does somebody like Harry?"), they shook on it.

"That Draco is coming to the Burrow for the summer."

"Draco? Malfoy?" Both twins asked, their voices echoing the hallway, which was dead, empty, and silent.

"Yes, Draco."

"Why?" George asked.

"Did you eat one of our Egg Crème's because those make you think some funny things, Gin." Fred said immediately after George asked why.

"No, I didn't. Look remember Christmas vacation?" She waited for them to nod before she continued. With much reluctance they nodded ("How's this relate to Malfoy?"). "When I came home, on Christmas, it was because... Draco sort of broke up with me... Well weren't going out, but he told me we couldn't talk anymore. But I persisted and I got him back. Mom just okayed him to come over." 

Fred loudly said. "That time you came crying was because of that ferret? I am so going to pound him." He said over protectively. Big brothers had to keep care of their little sisters, and he was just naturally doing his job.

"No! Don't! It's okay now." She explained. "We're fine."

"You sure, Gin?"

"We are! Okay. I really like Draco. Don't mess it up." She said. "I just wanted to tell you that he's coming, so that it wouldn't shock you." She began to walk away. "Don't tell Ron!" She repeated it. "Don't tell him, okay?"

"Okay Princess Malfoy!" George excitedly shouted out, which gave Ginny smile. The twins were always making her smiling with their trick and now she had could smile because they were more understanding than Ron was.

"So, George, you know what this means?"

"More guinea pigs, right?"

"Harry and Draco will be at the Burrow. We could develop something for rivals, where they give it to each other and it turns their hair pea coloured!" They both laughed.

Author Notes: I'm sorry that took so long. Really I am. I'm going to shoot for updating every Friday night, but keep checking for new chapters. I may add them anytime. Probably around the weirdest times, since I can never sleep (I'm an insomniac or something.) So as usual leave some reviews. They motivate me!

Crystal, hehe cute fics. I wonder why I'll stop writing them.... Probably never :)

Themis, thank you for that awesome Christmas gift! I love it. I gotta e-mail a thank you, but it may take a while, I hate writing thank you notes. I don't know why. You're a good writer, too.

Animal Lover, lol... cute... Hehe. Maybe instead of the "Force" being with me, I should call it the "cuteness." Lol, I like that, "May the cuteness be with you"

Orothoroniel aka Celena, Computer problems suck majorly. Hope you had an excellent birthday.

Eleoopy, I'm not telling, but if it makes you feel better chapter 13 will probably give you your answer.  ^^. Yeah I loved that flashback, too.

txt-eva, Everything is interesting when you're a Weasley! Or when you're writing about one. ^^

Anonymous Reviewer #1, Blank name spot. Eeep! Leave something for me to identify you. I don't care if it's "LETSKILLLINDSEY! w00t! KILL HER!" Though that would be kinda freaky... Will Draco meet his mom.... Only the writing people know! That or some of these readers who predict things pretty well....

Anonymous Reviewer #2, as stated above leaving a name helps make it for me to identify you... Unless you like being called this or something... I didn't each anything Thanksgiving, I got the stomach flu... sniffles....

Ella, Yeah there's some fights coming up. I'm trying to improve better on my grammar. I type to fast to check over it, which is a bad habit! I gotta break it.

Pseudonym Sylphmuse, Yeah go, Ginny, for her sensibility!

GoldenRed Phoenixia, You semi-changed your name. I like it. ^^ I gotta add more description. Its always my weak point. I do better in talking for characters, or at least that's what I think.

Billie, sorry for making you wait for the continuance for so long! Bad, Lindsey!
