NEW CHAPPIE!!!!
~*~Author's Note: The Second Installment of the Saga unfolds - sorry I was gone for so long! My grandparents came to visit and then I had to read the Order of the Phoenix, now didn't I? Didn't want to end up screwing myself for future fics
~*~Disclaimer: Didn't we cover this in the first chapter? Let's see - am I a woman who makes millions of dollars, pounds, euros, yen, and whatever else for creating the Potterverse? Somehow I don't think so. Am I a man who goes by the name of David Bowie, starred in the hit film LABYRINTH and sang and wrote "As The World Falls Down" for the movie? Once again, a huge, resounding "NO!"(heh heh, Knights Tale) there's your disclaimer! IT AIN'T MINE! OKAY?!?!?! Okerz, lets go.
~*~As The World Falls Down~*~
"You think so?" asked Ginny as she fingered the tendril of hair hanging near her right eye. Her hair had been swept back high onto her head. Chunks of hair were knotted and pulled back into a tail all the way around her head, quite in the fashion of cornrows. The hair that remained in the ponytail were tied into knots of the same fashion and were compressed into a bun, leaving softly curled tendrils framing her face, the longest of which extended three inches past her shoulders. Her wispy bangs were carefully curled, ever softening her stunning appearance. The fire of her black opal earrings poked from behind the silken curls.
"Well.er.um.yeah." He stammered staring at her eyes. Lady! Could I have sounded more like a third year Hufflepuff with stars in his bloody eyes? Draco wondered to himself.
"My, my, my. Aren't we literate tonight." She said as she stepped forward and fussed with his lapels. Smirking, he growled at her.
"You have begun a battle that I believe that you cannot win." He said gathering her into his arms. She blushed momentarily at the sudden contact, but brought her eyes back level with his. A twinkle of mischief emerged from her eyes. The "perfect" comeback is coming I suppose, thought Draco ruefully.
"But I'm a Gryffindor. All of us are gifted with blissful ignorance and an annoying little voice in our heads that says we can overcome the odds, no matter how great they are, with valor and a heart full of courage." She said.
"Hmm. Sounds like a Quidditch pep talk to me." He said with his trademark drawl.
"Thought I had you, dammit." She said, winking. Draco felt his knees melt as he saw her actions. He walked towards her and stopped a hairsbreadth away from her, their noses almost touching as he gazed down at her. He stroked her cheek and felt the delicate skin that lay over her jawbone. The soft fuzz that trailed from her hairline tickled against his fingers. She closed her eyes and sighed as her spine tingled in the sheer pleasure of his touch. He bent down as if to kiss her. As their lips were about to meet, he stepped sideways over the marble floor and sprinted to a side table. He grabbed a medium sized box and shoved this too into his coat pocket. Ginny had by now opened her eyes and was groping at the air in puzzlement. Chuckling to himself, Draco grabbed her round the waist and unceremoniously picked her up.
"OI!" she said in surprise. Smirking once again he walked into the living room. The room was furnished with large, pale green, overstuffed armchairs and a love seat. The walls had mahogany paneling with built in bookshelves housing many classics of varying genres, both muggle and wizarding literary classics. On the floor was a large plush rug that matched the chairs. Underneath the rug lay a hardwood floor of mahogany. He dropped her on the loveseat and headed over towards the focal point of the room, a grand fireplace that was crackling happily. He placed his hand on the mantle and drew patterns on it. He gazed upon the ledge and glanced over the pictures and knick-knacks that Ginny had lovingly arranged. Pictures of she and her brothers stared back: Ginny was kneeling in the center smiling and laughing while to her right stood Fred and George grinned mischievously at each other sharing in a unknown joke. To her left, Charlie attempted to smile, though he sported a large bruise over the right side of his face. Next to him was Bill, who winked at the camera as he looked at the twins out of the corner of his eye. Standing behind Ginny was Ron in his Liverpool Quidditch robes. And of in the corner was a sneering Percy, obviously displeased with where his photograph was. He was the only Weasley that didn't (eventually) support Draco and Ginny's relationship. Well, there's always someone all too willing to be unhelpful. He passed smaller photos and came to the centerpiece: a photograph of him and Ginny. It was about 2'x 4' and was in an ornate gilt frame. It had been taken the night of her induction to the wizarding elite. He had escorted her to a party of his mother's to "show her off" to the upper class after they had begun to get serious in their relationship. She had been stunning in her periwinkle robes -
No, back to the task at hand, Malfoy! He thought to himself. He turned back to Ginny who was looking stunning with a confused look on her face. Clearing his throat, Draco stepped towards her.
"Er . Ginny I love you. Your personality, your spirit, and most of all your heart. I've had this made for you." He said nervously as he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out the larger of the boxes. He slipped it into her hands and sat beside her on the loveseat as she inspected the box. On the top of the box there was a silver plate with an inscription that read "For my Darling One with the Brave Heart, I shall always be there for You, even as the world falls down". She delicately pulled the box open and gasped in surprised delight at what she saw. Inside the innocent black box were two figurines in each other's arms. They were a perfect replica of her and Draco at his mother's party for her son's darling debutante, him in his formal black and her in periwinkle. The figures began to dance around.
***"There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast
In search of new dreams.
A love that will last
Within your heart.
I'll place the moon
Within your heart."***
Tears came to Ginnys eyes as she heard the song play. Draco gathered her in his arms and pulled her up to her feet. They embraced each other and swayed with the music
***"As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down."***
"I love you too, Draco," she whispered into his ear as the music stopped. He smiled to himself and bent down to kiss her. Ginny moaned and leaned into it. She twirled the hairs at the nape of his neck around her fingers and smiled. Draco was the first to break away and smiled as he caught her hands and brought them down from his neck, kissing the palms before he spoke.
"I believe it is time to head to dinner, my Brave Heart." He said as he Apparated them away.
