Hey every one
Ok, I have to thank Erin C for the email she sent to me with the subject of 'Perfect song for Still Crazy' and oh my god, was it perfect. I am not a huge fan of the Dixie Chicks, I have hardly even listened to any of their music, but oh my golly gosh, this song is so Draco-Ginny emotions in this fic, especially the fist verse, which I have added to the beginning of this chapter.
Thank you Erin
Any way, I am sorry about the length of this chapter, as soon as I started typing, I just couldn't stop typing and oh lordy lord, it was fun, I hope you like it, there is a lot of Draco back story feelings.
And please continue the awesome review streak you lot are on, it would be sur-purb!
~*~*~*~*~*~
I'm so close to you baby
But I am so far away
There's a silence between us
And there's so much to say
You're my strength, you're my weakness
You're my faith, you're my doubt
We gotta meet in the middle
To work this thing out.
The Dixie Chicks --More Love.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny was amazed by the passion that he passed on in his kisses. It had been years since his lips had touched hers in this fashion. Sure, they still scared the occasional public peck on the lips to make things look fine in their world, but never, in a long time, had it been like this.
And Ginny never, ever expected him to kiss her like this again.
His tongue swiped her bottom lip, asking silently for permission to re- explore the inside of her mouth, to get himself reacquainted with the way her tongue felt against his. Ginny allowed him to do so, just dwelling in the feelings that had been awoken in her for the first time in years.
She was still lying against his chest, with his back flat against the floor, one hand was still tangled in her hair, which had fallen from her elegant hair stile, and the other was wrapped around her waist, pulling her body flush against his, their hips rubbing against each other seductively.
Draco had been right when she had kissed him earlier, that had been the wrong time for them to be kissing, but now, not it seemed so much better, so much righter than before. They had discussed what they were thinking, and they had reminisced, and now, it seemed, although they were not perfect, they had found the passion they had once had.
The passion that Draco and Ginny had missed for so many different reasons. The warmth, the passion that can only be created by holding the one you love tightly against yourself.
His hands roamed his hips delicately. He didn't want to let her go, but he knew that they had not finished talking, not by a long shot. The rational side of his brain was begging him to pull away from her so they could sort out more of their problems, but he just could not pull himself away. He didn't want to pull himself away from her, and from the grip that he had on his shoulders, she didn't want to let her go either.
After a few solid minutes of kissing, his lips reluctantly left hers. He rested his head in the curve of her neck and just relaxed, trying to regain his breath and un jumble his thoughts.
"It felt right that time" She whispered, he laughed into her neck. Their embrace soon turned into a death grip on each others bodies.
"It feels right to have you in my arms like this" he mumbled. She smiled.
"It feels good to be in your arms again, I never want to leave them, they make me feel safe and warm ......" Ginny whispered. Draco frowned slightly.
"You never want to leave my arms. That may be a little hard when you are living some where else." He mumbled, Ginny rolled her eyes at him, but didn't get a chance to say anything.
"I am going to ask you again, actually I am going to beg you, don't leave, stay in the house with me and the kids....." He begged, Ginny laughed and pressed her finger against his lips, shutting him up quickly.
"You think that I would leave now, after the promise we made to get our lives back on track, after the promise to stay together, save our marriage, keep our family together?" She whispered, Draco shrugged.
"I guess you do have a lot more to stick around for now, huh?" he laughed.
"I am sticking around for you, and Sax, Xand and Zeke. You lot make my life exciting" She smiled, resting her forehead on hers. "I am willing to stick around and make us work"
"I love you" Draco whispered. The words seemed alien to him after years of not voicing them. Draco held his breath and waited for Ginny to say something. After a few seconds of silence, he felt something drop onto his cheek.
Draco rolled onto his side and held her body to his. She was crying, sobbing into his chest.
"Come now, don't cry" He whispered. Draco tried in vain to come up with something snappy, witty and smart to say to make her feel better, but he couldn't think of anything.
"I love you to" Draco almost didn't hear her as her voice was muffled in his shirt. "Always have, always will"
"Then what is with the tears?" He whispered. She grinned a little.
"I told myself, a long time ago, that I would never hear those words coming from your mouth again, at least not directed to me. And now here you are, and here I am, and we are forgiving things that have happened over the years, and you say that to me. I love you and I love the fact that you still love me."
"I am sorry" He whispered.
"What? Why? What do you have to be sorry for?" Ginny asked.
"It was never my intention to make you feel that I didn't love you. I did, I do, I always will. Even when we were not talking, I loved you with all that I have. I am sorry if I made you feel unloved" Draco told her.
"I think deep down I knew you still loved me, because deep down, I still loved you. I had hope, but over the years, my dreams began to die with in me. But I have you back now" She whispered, Draco hugged her tightly.
"I never went any where, you always had me" He replied.
They stayed silent for a few minutes, just remembering what if felt like to be in each others arms again.
"Do you really think that we screwed up the boys?" Ginny asked, with a slight smile on her face. Draco laughed.
"Are you crazy, they are Malfoy's, it would take a lot more than this to screw up my sons" Draco exclaimed proudly.
"They are half Weasley, remember that bucko" she giggled. Draco just tightened his grip on Ginny. He sighed and inhaled her heavenly scent.
"Don't ever let me go Ginny" he whispered.
"I promise you, never ever are you going to leave my sight again" She replied, her hands running trough his still silver blonde hair. Draco raised his head from where it was resting on her collar bone, a devilish grin plastered on his face.
"Oh, no, last time you had that look on your face, we did naughty things in the back yard in the middle of the worst blizzard in history." She groaned. "I am not going to fall for another one of your hair brained schemes Malfoy"
"This one is not hair brained, this maybe, the second best thing I have ever thought of. Or maybe the best thing I have ever thought of, just repeated" Draco smiled as he sat up. Ginny sighed, it annoyed her beyond belief when Draco go like this, because it always meant that he was about to do something crazy.
God, Ginny missed this crazy, annoying side of Draco.
Still grinning like a madman, Draco took her hand held it in his. Ginny looked down at the hand that he held, it was her ring hand. She had always worn both her rings (engagement and wedding rings) on the same finger. The only time she had not worn them were the months that she had been pregnant, and she had swollen to an uncomfortable size.
She feeblely protested as he removed the rings, in his hand he held her engagement ring, but he returned her wedding band to her finger.
"What are you doing" she muttered. Draco smiled and placed a finger on her lips.
"From the moment that I saw you Ginny..." He began. Ginny groaned, she knew the way this speech went, it was the same speech he had said last time.
"Draco, do you remember how this turned out the last time." She smiled. He ran his hands through her hair.
"Don't worry, Snape cant walk in this time" He replied. "And could you be quiet, I am trying to be dead serious here"
"Sorry, go on" She smiled. She had no idea what he was doing, probably just trying to remind her of the first time as last time he said this speech. Reminding her of how nervous he had been.
She had waked into that very storage closet that night after getting a not so cryptic note attached to her potions assignment. Draco had been pacing nervously, mumbling things to himself, occasionally running his hands through his messy (but totally sexy) hair. She had come in, he greeted her with a kiss, bumbled his way through an amazing obviously pre written speech, and then, just as she was about to answer, he had dropped the ring. They had both reached for it at the same time, resulting in them bumping their heads together. Once they got over the nervous laughter, she smiled and accepted his proposal.
So now here they were, sitting together on the floor of the storage closet, and he held the same amazing ring in his hand, and by the looks of it, he was about to recite the same amazing speech that he had that night.
She stayed silent and waited for him to continue.
"The moment I saw you Ginny...... I hated your guts" He smiled.
"Ok, this is new, I think I liked the first rendition of this speech when you said you loved me from the start" Ginny frowned slightly. Draco stood and began pacing, still grasping the ring in his hand.
"This is the original copy which I wrote and then threw out. Ummm, where was I?" He asked, still pacing.
"You were in the process of telling me that you hated my guts" She told him.
"Right, From the moment I saw you Ginny, I hated your guts, I hated you because you were you, I hated you because you were a Weasley, I hated you because you were innocent and most of all, and this was the one that scared me the most, I hated you because you loved Potter" He told her. Ginny looked up.
"Yeah, I know what you were thinking. And it is all true, I was insanely jealous of Potter, which was obvious to all with eyes and a pulse. I hated him because he was a better seeker, I hated him because of the damn scar on his head, I hated him because my father paid more attention to what Potter did than what I did. And most of all, I hated him because he didn't know what he had, or what he could have had. From the beginning, he could have had you. He could have had you, with no effort on his part, where as I had to work hard for what I wanted. Because from the beginning, all I wanted was you."
"Even in your first year, I would watch you intently, hoping that just once you would look across the great hall at me and see that I knew what you were going through. I knew some thing was wrong with you, and I knew that Harry was going through so much shit of his own not to notice you, but I noticed you, believe me I noticed you."
"I hated you for not noticing me. I tried every way I could think of to draw attention to myself, and you still could care less .... Yes, I know, teasing Harry was not really the best way to get your attention, but at that point, I was not very smart or mature. But I tried all I could to impress you, and you frustrated me that nothing worked. You made me hate you more, but I loved you and hated you equally"
Ginny sat and listened to his words. Never before had he told her this, and it was amazing, she wanted him to continue with what he was saying, she needed to know more.
"I know what you are thinking now, that you are glad I didn't use this speech when I asked you to marry you the first time, because it doesn't seem like I will be coming to a point any time soon" Draco smiled at her.
"No, I was actually wondering if you would continue what you were saying" Ginny smiled.
"Well, I hated you because you didn't seem to care less, but you had so much sprit, so much fire with in you that you never ceased to stop rendering me breathless. You would jump to defend your friends, and I loved you more for your nobility. I came back here for my seventh year and I knew that if I didn't tell you how I felt by the end of it, I would grow to regret it."
"So I tried to get closer to you, and I kept stuffing things up. I was always teasing you, and you hated me more. And then, we had our detention. I don't know if you realized, but I had been staring at you all night, watching everything about you, the way you bit your bottom lip as you scrubbed, the way you brushed your hair off of your head with the back of your wrist. I took in everything about you, and you still did not realize that I loved you."
"Then Peeves locked us in here together. And I wanted to just tell you how I felt. I wanted to just dump it out on the table and make sure that you knew, but then, as usual, I opened up my mouth and my foot was in there in no time. Once we opened up around each other, and we were comfortable about each other, I just wanted to tell you again, but I didn't want to scare you away. I didn't know how you would react. I thought I had fallen completely by then, but soon, I had fallen even more, and even harder for you, and it made it all so much better that you loved me to, or, at least you cared for me, you cared for me very strongly."
"Then I started hating the world instead of hating you. It was all the worlds fault, it was the worlds fault that time went so fast when we were together and so slow when we were apart, it was the worlds fault that I couldn't think straight around you, and it was the worlds fault that I could not keep my hands off you when we were together" He told her, and then sat down on the floor again so that they were facing each other.
"I hated stuff, but you never let me be angry. You never let me show the world that there was still hate in side of me. On some days, I don't even think that you understood how angry and hateful I was. All you had to do was look at me, and I would be defused. I loved the way that you used to look at me."
"So now I am here, with this long winded little story, and I am going to do something I never thought I would have the opportunity to do ...... again" He smiled and held out his hand, the ring was still on it.
"Ginny, you are still the light of my life, I know for a while there, the light went out, but I guess all we had to do was replace the bulb. Now the lights are back and I am no longer afraid of the darkness."
Smiling at the tears that were sliding down Ginny's soft cheeks, he gently replaced the ring on her finger.
"Would you do me the honor, of renewing our wedding vows, becoming my wife again and making me the happiest man on the face of the planet?" he whispered. Ginny smiled and kissed him.
"Of course, of course" she replied, still sobbing and running her hands through his hair. He grinned under her kiss and wrapped his arms around her.
"I am still the luckiest man in the world" Draco murmured against her lips. She smiled.
"I am the luckiest girl alive" she replied, her lips refusing to leave his, her hands roaming his back.
The kissing continued in intensity, and soon, the clothing was stripped from their bodies.
And for the first time in a long time, the Malfoy's remembered what it felt like to be young and in love.

Ahhhhh, this chapter is long.
Anyway, yes, those last two lines did mean that Ginny and Draco had, Mature marital relations (use your imagination people, and remember, they are a married couple) Due to the rating of this fic, and the fact that I suck at writing smut, lets just let our teenage minds get carried away with us (and if we are older than Teenagers, then that is cooler to. If you are younger, they just cuddled, ok, ok)
Reviews rock, but Reviewers rock to.
Ok, I have to thank Erin C for the email she sent to me with the subject of 'Perfect song for Still Crazy' and oh my god, was it perfect.
