Chapter Four
Genevieve stopped outside the green house and wiped the tears from her eyes. 'He's really good at acting like a jack ass.' She thought to herself as she took in an unsteady breath. 'If that was acting I'd hate to see what he'd be like if it were for real.' Patting her hair down she gave Hermione a small smile as the girl walked outside to check on her. "You ok?" The head girl's eyes were full of concern as she looked at Genevieve. "Yeah, I'm fine." Genevieve said softly as she pulled on her tie. 'I'll never get used to these uniforms.' She thought grumpily to herself as Hermione studied her curiously. "Shall we go back in then?" Hermione asked her and motioned towards the door. Giving a mock sigh Genevieve rolled her eyes and said, "If we must." As she turned to the door and opened it. All eyes except Draco's and Professor Sprout's were on her and Hermione as they walked itno class.
Genevieve had the urge to scream 'What?!' but fought it. 'They already think your strange enough Gene.' She told herself as she took a place between Ron and Harry. "Good show." Harry whispered down to her and she made a small sniffeling noise causing Ron to glare at Draco. "He can be such an arse." Ron muttered under his breath and Genevieve had to keep from snickering. Out of sheer will power she kept herself from looking at Draco the remainder of the class. As the other students began to file out Genevieve and Draco stayed where they were and only after all the students were gone did they look at each other. "You ok?" He asked her, his voice full of worry as he stepped towards her.
Giving him a faint smile she shrugged and replied, "I'll deal." When he gave her a curious look she laughed and shook her head. "Yes I'm fine." Draco's shoulders sagged with relief and reaching out he took her hand as Professor Sprout came back into the the green house. "Good children, nice to see you two have made up now let's get to work." Dentention consisted of potting more plants and watering mandrakes. Genevieve arched a quizzical brow when Draco muttered something about 'Pathetic little home grown cry baby's' but hadn't elaborated on his meaning. When detention was over they walked out of the green house careful to keep a distance between each other less someone be watching. "I hate this." Draco said out loud as they reached the door to the castle.
"Me too." Genevieve replied softly in a sad voice as he opened the door for her. "This feels like a really buggered up version of Romeo and Juliet." Draco muttered as he walked in the door after her. Looking up at him she grinned. "You read Shakespeare?" She couldn't hide the surprise in her voice and as he looked down at her her heart gave a little start. "Occassionally when I'm in the mod for muggle literature. I like Shakespeare, he wrote a lot of depressing stuff." Shaking her head in disbelief she added for him, "And a lot of happy stuff too." Draco gave her a queer look before bursting out in a fit of laughter. "If you say so." He said as he regained his composure. A couple of students had stopped at the sound of Draco's laughter and shot him a wary glance.
'It's like they've never heard him laugh before.' Genevieve mused as the students started walkiong again. "I think I'm going to go look at some books." She stated as they neared the hall that led to the library. Nodding Draco followed her to the library and inside. ~Here we go again.~ Genevieve sent to him as she noticed a few people from their Green House 7 class at various tables. Taking her cue Draco plastered a sneer on his face and walked past her, bumping her forcefully with his shoulder. "Get out of the way Conant." He spat at her as he walked towards a table with three other Slytherins. Narrowing her eyes Genevieve tilted her chin and held her head high as she took a seat with Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
"Hey." Harry greeted her with a smile while Ron nodded to her and Hermione lifted her hand in a wave, her eyes glued to a book. Lightly placing her bag on the table she chanced a glance at Draco as he talked with a dark haired girl from Slytherin who giggled and tossed a malicious look at Genevieve. Shrugging Genevieve sat down and turned her gaze to Harry as she pulled a book from Harry's stack and opened it. "Help yourself." He said with a small grin as she looked down at the book. "Thanks but this isn't what I'm looking for." She said closing the book and standing up. Ron and Hermione gave her a curious look but Harry knew what she was up to for he glanced at Draco to see if he was watching her.
Genevieve didn't have a doubt in her mind that Draco was watching and when he joined her a few moments later behind one of the book shelves in the back she wasn't surprised. "Hi." She said softly reaching for a book. Reaching up he closed his hand over hers grabbed the book with her bringing his arms slowly down, his eyes glued to her face. "I didn't hurt you earlier when I pushed you out of the way did I?" He asked her in a hushed tone as he dipped his head down close to her ear and inhaled the sweet scent of lilacs. "Careful Malfoy. People will say you're in love." Draco straightened up as Harry walked up. "Come to rescue the fair Genevieve from the Dragon Potter?" The smile left Genevieve's face as she heard the tightness in Draco's voice. "No just came to get a book is all." Harry said politely ignoring Draco's dark look.
Leaning between Genevieve and Draco Harry gave Genevieve a smile as he took a book from the shelf. ~Lovely timing Harry.~ Genevieve threw at him sarcastically and rolled her eyes as Harry's smile turned into a grin. Book in hand he stepped back and turned his gaze to Draco. "There's something between you two, I can see that. I don't know Gene all that well but she's Dumbeldore's god daughter. You hurt her and I'll make sure you regret it the rest of your life." Nodding to Genevieve he left them to watch him walk back towards the direction of the tables. "Honestly you'd think he'd get tired of the whole knight in shining armor thing." Draco muttered as he glanxed down at their still touching hands. "Draco if I hear one more medieval originated comment I'm going to scream. I know we're living in a castle but enough is enough." Pulling her hand and book away she turned and rested her back against the shelf.
"Sorry." He mumbled in reply as he leaned his back on the shelf across from her . Shrugging she gave him a small smile. "So how long are we going to do this, this sneaking around?" She asked flipping her book open as the librarian passed by. Pushing away from the shelf he reached for her. Taking the front part of her robes he pulled her close and leaned his forehead against hers. "We're not. Come on." Lifting his face slightly he brushed his lips over her forehead before stepping back. Taking the book from her he slipped it back on the shelf then taking her hand led her back to the tables where her books were. Taking her bag for her he shouldered it and gave her a small nod after she lifted her hand in a wave bye to Harry, Ron and Hermione. As they turned to leave she noticed that the other students were trying very hard to look busy. Smirking she walked hand in hand with Draco out the door. They were greeted by a handful of other students holding brooms and they were all Slytherins. 'This must be Draco's Quidditch team.' Genevieve thought to herself as Draco nodded a greeting to them.
"We were just going out for practice Captian. Care to join us?" Genevieve's skin crawled as one of the Slytherins leered at her as he spoke to Draco. Pulling her hand out of Draco's grasp she smiled up at him as she took her back from his shoulder. She heard someone hiss, 'Nice purse Malfoy.', and she longed to punch them in the face but that would only cause problems between her and Draco. She had learned long ago never to stand up for a guy in a fight, they don't take it as a helping hand. Shouldering her back she stood up on her top toes and kissed Draco softly on the cheek. "Go practice. I'll watch you from my room window." She said softly in his ear before turning away, giving the Slytherin who had made the comment about her bag a withering look. None of them wanted to make her mad. She was a lot like her father when it came to anger. Normally she was a very laid back individual but with the right amount of 'button pushing' Genevieve could go off like a rocket and there were too many flammable objects at Hogwarts.
'Gene?' Turning she looked at Draco as his thought touched her mind. ~Yes?~ Although he looked distant on the outside she knew he longed to go with her. "I. . . . .Never mind.' Nodding silently she turned back towards the staircase. ~I'll be watching you Dragon.~ She told him, her mental voice soft, as she walked up the stairs. She was slightly taken back though when Draco grabbed her from behind a few moments later as she entered the hallway to the Griffindor tower. "What are you doing? I thought you had practice." Turning her around he silenced her lips with his own, pulling her closer. Closing her eyes Genevieve relaxed in his arms. After a moment he pulled away and looked down into her eyes. "Gene I know this migh sound crazy, believe me if someone would have told me a year ago I would be involved with a Griffendow I would have said they were insane. But now, I mean, you're different than anyone here. You're a powerful witch but that's not why I'm interested in you. You just have this pull and I well I. . . . . "
Placing two fingers on his lups to silence him she smiled. "Draco you're babbeling." She felt his mile form underneath her fingers before he took her hand in his own and kissed her fingertips. "Must be contagious." He said in a voice thick with emotion. "Yeah." Genevieve replied in a whisper as she stepped closer to him.. "What I want to tell you is that I care for you. . . . .a lot, I think I might be falling in lo. . ." He couldn't finish the sentence, tripping over the last word. "It's ok Draco. You don't have to say it. It's weird I feel the same way. Don't want to sound tres' romance novelish bu my parents along with most of everyone else where I come from believe in soulmates. The most unlikily of pairs, that being you and I ofcourse, could be brought together by fate."
Brushing her cheek softly against his own she smiled as his arms tightened around her. "Never really thought about the whole soulmate thing. My father says a match should be beneficial to both parties involved even if they can't stand each other." His voice was rich with sadness as he talked softly into her ear. "My parents are the exact opposite. They believe that love will win out over everyone and anything else. They know from experience that love can not be denied." Pulling away from him she opened her blue eyes and gazed into his own silverish blue ones. "I wish I could talk as freely as you do about your emotions but it just wasn't bred in me." Genevieve shook her head sadly. "Don't count yourself as a lost cause yet. I've got plenty of time and patience, well maybe not that much patience but plent of time." A faint smile appeared on Draco's face and he nodded in agreement.
"Well I'm off to practice." He told her as he lent down to press his lips against her cheek. "I'll be watching." She told him before turning around and heading to the portrait. The Fat Lady gave her a wary look but said nothing as Genevieve stated the password. Amoment later Genevieve stepped into a nearly empty common room. There were a few Griffindors spread out on chairs and couches studying but Genevieve hardly felt in the socializing mood so with out a word to any of them she walked up the stiars and to her room where she sat on the window seat and with as much patience as she could muster waited to see Draco practice his Quidditch moves.

I want to thank all of those that have read this story so far but if I don't get anymore feed back from anyone I'm going to stop posting it on Fan fic.net and just type it up for my personel website everynow and then when the mood hits me. Chapter five is done except ofcourse of the typing up part. I await any comment anyone has to give on this story so far. Once I again I apologize for typos.. they happen and my MS Word program is catching them like it should.
