Chapter 6

By Crystal

Author's Notes: I'm extremely stressed out right now, so I won't be able to update so fast.  I'm sorry for that, but everything seems to be against me right now.  Other than that, I'm co-writing a D/G with Chen, so check it out!  http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1214287

I'm also changing this into a Angst/Romance.

*We all know who they belong to ^^;;*

~*~ Draco ~*~

"Good," then she rubbed her hands evilly, "So, Draco.  Who do you like, as a girl?"

Virginia Weasley.  Wait...  What the fuck?!

You must be fucking kidding me!  I mean, it's insane enough I'm enjoying her company as a friend, but a crush kind of thing?!  You are fucking shitting me.  I can bet a hundred perfect we fucked up on the potion.  Oh Merlin.

I could feel the familiar burn on my tongue and my throat as I refused to tell the truth.  Or say anything at all, for that matter.  "Draco?"  She asked me worriedly.  I glared at her and she frowned, then smirked.  Oh Merlin, I was definitely rubbing off on her.  "So who does Oh-mighty Draco Malfoy like?"

"Malfoys do not love nor like."  I hissed out painfully.  She rolled her eyes unbelievingly, "Just let it go, Virginia."  I hissed again.  She shook her head, "It'll be a while...  before I say the answer...  I can withstand Veritaserum for...  quite a while..."

"Sure you can."

For minutes, I could feel the burn become worst and worst and I clenched my fists, still glaring at her.  Snape suddenly opened his mouth, "That's it class.  Come here and take the antidote for the Veritaserum."

Virginia sighed and took off to the front of the class while I closed my mouth.  She came back with the antidote and I drank it in a single gulp.  The burning was going away slowly, though it was still there.

"How'd you withstand it?"

I shrugged, "Been practicing since I was eight...  Trust me, that was not the strongest Veritaserum there is.  I've had worst ones...  Though it was the first time I could actually hold an answer in with this one.  Looks like I just went up a higher level."

Virginia stared at me, flabbergasted, "You practice withstanding Veritaserum?!"

I shrugged again, "My father's Lucius Malfoy."  I caught a glimpse of Blaise, "Hey Blaise, back so soon?"

"Yeah.  Just went to take a walk around the dungeons.  So how was it?"

Virginia sighed and rolled her eyes, "Draco was able to withstand the last question..."
"And what was that question?"

"Which girl he likes."  Blaise smirked at me knowingly, Virginia caught the smirk, "You know who he likes?!  Tell me so I can blackmail him!"  I glared at Blaise.

"Naw, you'll just have to figure it out by yourself.  I'm afraid that if I tell you, I'll lose my life."

Virginia pouted, "Come on, Draco!"

"No..."  Virginia gave me the puppy eyes while Blaise looked at me with amusement, "No, Virginia, and that's final."  I heard cussing behind me and I turned around to meet with the glare of Weasley.  "What is it, Weasley?"

"Get the hell away from my sister."

Virginia groaned, "Ron...  Draco and I are just friends.  Just live with it."  Virginia then dragged Blaise and I out the classroom, our previous argument forgotten.  In a way, I was thankful.

When we were out in the hallway, Virginia looked so uncomfortable.  "What's wrong?"  I asked.

"Nothing...  Just...  Thanks, I guess."  I saw Blaise lift his eyebrow as I did the same thing, "For being my friend...  My real friend.  Unlike Hermione or something like that.  Thanks."  Then, she stood on her tip-toes for a slight second, hesitating before I felt her soft lips on my cheek.  In less than a second, she pulled back.  "Bye Draco, bye Blaise!"  Then I saw her face flush as she left.

Blaised smirked, "Ohh..."  I could feel a blush fighting its way up my face, and Blaise smirked knowingly once again, "Told ya."

"Shut the fuck up."

I could hear his laugh echoing throughout the dungeons.

~*~ Ginny ~*~

Oh my god...  Did I just kiss a Slytherin?  Not to mention a Malfoy?!  HAVE I GONE INSANE?!  I think so.  Even though it was on the cheek...  God, Ron would blow up if he knew...  What to do, what to do.  What the hell were you thinking, Virginia Anne Weasley?!

I raced my way up the stairs and into my Perfect room, slamming the door and laid down on my bed.  I groaned.  What the hell have I done?  Draco's probably going to laugh at me tomorrow...  I know we've been friends for a slight while...  But...  Oh god.  I groaned again.  Dear Merlin...  Wait till my family hears of this.

Oh man, I can still see Draco's shocked face when I kissed him on the cheek.  I hid my face in my hands in embarrassment.  Kill me and spare me the embarrassment, please...  I bet Draco's going to start laughing when he see my ugly face again.  How could I have kissed him?!  I mean, sure, he's handsome and all that.  A nice gentleman...  And I have a crush on him, but what the...  Wait...

No, no, no...  I don't have a crush on Draco.  He's just my friend.  Nothing more, nothing less.  God damn it!  I hissed as I punched my pillow.  This is so darn confusing.  Damn Draco.  I sighed, damn dreams.

Blinking my eyes a few times, I stood sat up from my bed and began to get my books to go to class.  Forget about Draco.  For now.  Of course.

Time passed without her seeing Draco a single time, but her mind was on Draco the whole class.  Suddenly, she snapped back to attention as she heard a few girls gossip in front of her.  A Slytherin and a Gryffindor.  Gossip buddies, I'm guessing.

"Hey, you know..."  She whispered, "I heard that the youngest Weasley, that red headed girl is having a relationship with Draco Malfoy."  I rolled my eyes, yeah right.  I wish.  I mean...  Er...  That's a load of bullshit.

"Draco Malfoy and a Weasley?  You're shitting me.  Draco would never date a Gryffindor...  She's a Weasley too!"  The Slytherin girl looked dreamily.  Dream on, girl.  "Draco would probably fall in love with me."  Hah, what a joke.

The Gryffindor shook her head, "No, some seventh grade Gryffindors saw that Weasley kiss him on the cheek and he didn't react to it.  I heard that Zambini laughed about it."

"Of course Blaise would laugh about it.  Weasley's poor, there's not way she'll be able to date someone like Draco.  Weasley's a mudblood supporter, Draco's a Voldermort supporter."  I froze at the remark.  Voldermort...  It seems...  Like I've forgotten all about Draco and Voldermort...  But...  he wouldn't join him, right?  He's not that stupid...

"My father's Lucius Malfoy." 

That's what he said earlier...  Would he really follow his father's footstep?

"Class dismissed!"  I looked up at Professor Binns and slowly, packed all my stuff in my bag, then slowly walked out the classroom and back to my room.  And suddenly, I felt a familiar swish of power in my body.

Would he...?  Would he join Voldermort?

Of course he would, you stupid girl.  He's a Malfoy.  All Malfoys are evil.

Draco's different.  He's a lot different.

Oh, how so, Virginia?

He's my friend.

He's using you.

Draco wouldn't use me.  Blaise wouldn't either.

They're Slytherins...  Do you really think they're trustworthy?

Yes.

You're a silly girl...  Draco's father is Lucius...  Remember what Lucius did to you on your first year?  He gave you Tom Riddle's diary.  Remember?  If he hadn't given you the diary, you'd probably have lots and lots of friends...

But Draco and Blaise are my friends.  And so are Hermione and Harry...  Not to mention Ron.

How do you know Malfoy and Zambini are not using you?  Have Hermione and Harry ever paid that much attention to you?  Have Ron ever cared for you?  You don't have real friends, Ginny.

I have friends, just shut up.

You don't have friends.

You're started to annoy the hell out of me.

You don't have friends, Virginia.

Shut the hell up.

You don't have friends, Virginia.

Draco would never lie to me.  Shut up.  Just shut up.  Shut the hell up.

I'm just telling you, Virginia.  Draco will join with the Dark Lord and he will serve him...  He will kill you...  He's just using you now.

"Shut the hell up!  Just shut the hell up..."  I whimpered slightly as the voices in my head took over.  What the hell was happening?!

He will join the ranks of the Death Eaters and help the Dark Lord control the whole world.   He will kill you...  He will kill all of you...  Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, your six brothers, your parents...  You.

"He won't kill me...  he won't..."

What makes you think he won't, Virginia?

"He won't kill me...  he won't…  He just won't."  I felt my knees give away and I can hear my bag crash down on the floor, I can hear the ink bottle shatter, I can hear the quills fall to the ground, the books in contact with the floor.  I can hear my knees hit the ground.  I held my hands to my ears...  Draco would never kill me...  Never.  Or will he...?

I can hear footsteps quickly approaching and a voice...  Yet I could not tell whose...  "...Virginia!"  Calling...  for me?  I can feel a pair of hands shake my shoulders, "Virginia!"

What the hell...?  "Tom...?"

"Virginia?  Are you all right?  It's Draco."

"Draco...?"

I can feel him shaking me again, "Are you all right?"

I looked up at him tiredly and forced a smile, "Yeah...  I'm...fine.  Just, daydreaming."

He looked at me unbelievingly, "All right, if you say so." 

I nodded quietly, then stuffed the things in my bag, and cleaned the puddle of ink on the floor and held on the wall for dear life while walking towards my room.  I felt an arm around my waist and I looked up.  Draco...  "thanks."

It was Tom...  Tom was talking to me...  once again.  I was in fear once again just listening to his voice speak to me...  Damn Voldermort...  Damn him.

Author's Notes: Once again, sorry for the slow update.  Been stressed out a lot.  Sorry.  Anyway, here's the next chapter.  Hope you enjoy it...  And the plot thickens...  ^^  I'm going to do a Valentine one-shot that I'm going to post on the 13th.  So yepperz.  Later all!

Co-written with Chen: 'In the Darkness' http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1214287

Cariel – Thanks!  Well, I figured Draco would react like that...  I mean, who wouldn't?

KrystyWroth – Thanks a lot!  *grins*

Pegasia Silverfeather – Yeeeeep...  I wonder what's gonna happen...  Actually, I changed the plot around a bit, but I do know how it's going to end ^^

torlin kerru – LoL...  Almost screamed when I ended it with a cliffie?!  I always end chapters with a cliffy!  You should know that by now *grins*  Draco did not tell her, no.  That was his thoughts.  Viggo's a bit old, but that's okay ^^  Legolas' a bit too old for me too!  *grins*  But I don't care =p

Cheater531 – I'll keep going.  No way in hell am I gonna stop this...  Of course, that is unless I get 10 flames per chapter...  Hopefully, that won't happen.

frananddragon – Mad?  Indeed I am ^^  *get hit by shoe*  Owie!  That hurt!  *throws shoe back*  What happens in that dream is at the very end...  Epilogue...  I think.  Anyways...  Yes, it's a trilogy.  I've already named it all.  1) Winter Dreams.  2) Summer Dreams.  3) No More Dreams.  'Crimson Stains' hasn't got anything to do with this.  This is the prequel of 'Summer Dreams' and 'No More Dreams'.  Fictionalley?  I'll think about it.  A triangle...  I can't say anything...  That's in both the sequels, lol.  Voldermort definitely has a role here.  Damn Voldie.  *winks*  One of the worst ones, but not the worst, worst.  So *grins*.  She'll find out later, promise.  It's a good suggestion, but I'll stick with mine for now...  I like mine cause it's so...  cute and fluffy ^^  Later!  And thanks again!

kitkat87 – Thanks a lot!

Dracos gal - *grins*  Well, if you read 'Crimson Stains', you'll know how many cliffies I do.  Sorry!  But that's just me.  I'll cut the cliffies down a bit...  Or not.

ash – Yepperz!  Thanks!  *huggles*

Miss. Charlet – Eventually.  Promise.  It IS a D/G.

Rivenloe - *joins with the dancing*  Thanks!
blazefury – Lol...  Completely mental on her, eh?  Portkey.org?  yeah.  What's your username there?  Thanks!  I love my 'Crimson Stains' too.  First most successful fic.  This is my second...  I think.  Cheers!

Hitomi – Well, I emailed you about that already *grins*  Disgusting yes, but that's Pansy ^^  Woohoo!  Biggest fanfiction fan!  *huggles*  Of course we can be friends!
