Avril Lavigne - "Why"
Ok this is more like a story with a theme song…I think??!?! I don't know-u tell me-
'Ginny POV'
Why, do you always do this to me?
*Him* …she saw him looking at a book with red binding and gold lettering.
She knew she would eventually run into him again. But did it have to be so soon, the day after the daily profit made a huge announcement of Harry and Ginny's wedding engagement. It had to take up the whole entire page didn't it? She sighed.
Of course marrying Harry had sounded like a good idea 3 weeks ago when she said yes to him. But now…now it was different. Seeing him in that shop. Looking very ,very good. Hair all tousled from the wind. Cheeks had a slight twinge of color. Black really was his color.
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
Ginny pulled open the door, walked in as calmly as one could under these circumstances.
And draco looked over as the door signaled her presence with a sharp off key *ding*.
She tried to put on a nice casual smile. Her lips were fighting her to the death it had seemed.
A smile of lost lovers grazed her face as Draco just stared at her briefly, shuffling from left to right.
So I will talk to him. No biggie right? She walked over to him and said a polite "hello". One two passing by strangers would greet each with.
He glared at her without batting one single long blond eyelash. "hello? No I do not think so Gin, Please stop all of this. I don't need your owls(so she had been sending him owls, trying to make peace with him) nor do I need your 'hellos'. He huffed.
How come, you act like this
"Why, why can't we be friends?"
"Because, it doesn't work that way"
"And why doesn't it?"
"Is this some sort of attempt to talk to me"
"Is this some attempt to change the subject all together"
"I have to get going, my girlfriend is waiting for me."
Like you just don't care at all
He walked away from her ,without glancing back once , to the rest of the books.
Ginny looked to the ground and back up again.
He has to care…he does. She thought. She picked up the book he had been holding in his hands. ::Charms to mend the broken heart::
Could he had really been reading this…a sudden hope filled her heart. She snapped her head up just in time to see Draco snatch the book out of her hands.
"Its for a friend." simply stated.
And he walked back to the shelf he had been looking at. Ginny gave up her search for a book and decided to go home.
Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
As she arrived home ,she greeted her mother and took a glass of pumpkin juice to her room.
She took a long silver box from underneath her bed. She slowly opened it up, those damn memories…she knew they made her cry and made her felt a loss in her stomach…but she didn't care. She longed for the memories.
She took out a lavender muggle photo album and opened it up. Inside were 24 photos. Most were of Ginny and Draco and their time together. Although she could never show anyone because of the secrecy…. She felt the need to keep one anyway.
She flipped to the 6th page. In it draco had his arms wrapped around Ginny's waist and in her lap was the very first present he had ever given her. A light brown teddy bear with big blue eyes with a large white bow. And on Draco was a homemade sweater of off white, that Ginny had knitted herself.
She loved that photo most of all.
There was no way that he was over her.
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
As she laid back on the bed she closed her eyes and thought of *Him*.
And in her mind their sweetest moments together felt as if they were happening all over again.
Even though he was not around she felt him so close, as if he were right next to her. Holding her again ,kissing her ear in that sweet way he did.
He could be at the end of the earth and she would still feel him. His pain, that she had caused. Hadn't that been what was best though? Honestly. .it was Romeo and Juliet…never could have worked out. This way his father was happy and well…her whole happy was happy.
It's not supposed to feel this way
She must have drifted off because she was having that dream again. The one where they were in the park and feeding the ducks. It was a bright ,warm sunny afternoon. She was singing to him a soft tune of love and happiness.
Then the gray storm clouds rolled in. He looked lost all of the sudden. Like he wasn't supposed to be there.
A frown placed upon his face as his hand slide down her face to her chin. But. It was no longer Draco.. it was Harry and he was yelling at her. How could she do that. Why would she want a Malfoy… she suddenly looked down at her hand as she saw the ring on the left finger.
She sat up in bed , tears rolled down her face. How could something so tiny and beautiful feel like a trap…something keeping her away from happiness for the rest of her life. Couldn't Harry make her happy? Or was it the other way around. How could one person make another person happy when they longed for someone else?
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
She walked over to the window and cried until she could no longer see. Her eyes were blurred over. She wiped away her tears and looked out into the evening. The stars had just started to twinkle………….. She laughed to herself…how could this be happening…She was still in love with him even if he wasn't in love with her. But now it was too late. She needed him. But he didn't need her. But Harry did.
What would she do about Harry? Should she still marry him and just settle for second?
There was time for that another day, for now. Only sleep.
**Many days have passed**
'Draco's POV'
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Pansy was yelling at draco.
"Why are you ending this Draco?"
"Because I can."
"Well that is no reason mister, Its her isn't it?
"And what if it is?"
"Fine. Goodbye" She stalked off.
Draco smoothed over his robes and he turned swiftly to be face to face with *Her*.
How is heart ached, every passing moment. He thought that silly charms book would help. It didn't.
"Draco"
He couldn't talk to her. He was afraid of what would happen if he did. Would he cover her in kisses with his betrayer of a mouth ?Or beg her back?
This wouldn't happen.
"Gin-I thought I told you already"
"I know. But I need you Draco's don't know why. Or how. But I do."
She then dragged him into a side alley. She kissed him. A simple chaste kiss on the lips.
"Gin-I can't. If I start …I may not be able to stop ,and you are with potter."
"Kiss me one last time and tell me that it will never work for us and I will leave you alone till the end of days"
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
He did as told and kissed the girl. Wrapping his arms tightly around her. Not wanting to ever let go. This kiss lasted 15 seconds. The happiest 15 seconds in his past 10 or so months.
But they weren't together. It didn't change anything. He could tell her it would work, but he knew it wouldn't. It would never last forever…not a chance that his father would except her.
"Why,why,do you want me to tell you things I can not tell you? I can not promise that our future will be clear or content. But I need you Ginny, I need you so much it aches. "
He tucked her hair behind her ears and kissed her all over her face.
She smiled as tears filled her eyes.
"But it might work. If you asked him, told him about us?"
"Perhaps, I will try anything once"
Ginny giggled "Great"
"I can not promise anything"
"I understand"
"What about Harry?"
She looked down to the ground as if something popped out from the ground.
Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart
Draco lifted her chin, Would she leave potter for him? The same way she left draco for potter?
"Its ok ,Gin, you don't have to talk about it now"
She nodded and hugged him tightly.
"I can see you for who you really are and I am glad that I have seen it. " she smiled then she asked……………….
"What about pansy?" she cocked her head a bit.
Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why
\
Who was I kidding he thought. I never wanted pansy. Not for a minute.
"Its over, She knew that I was still in love with my old flame"
Ginny gasped "She knew who it was?"
"no. no, I would never betray you like that and let he hurt you."
"Draco,You were always in my thoughts. Even when we were not together"
"Why?"
"I don't know"
They kissed and its such a shame they didn't see who was watching them secretly.
'Harry's POV'
It's not supposed to feel this way
Harry watched as draco and his Ginny kissed. No, she wouldn't do this to me. His fist rolled into balls. Anger spread across his face.
She already promised me her hand. And I intend to keep it that way.
I need you, I need you
He had wanted Ginny for so long. Worked so hard to get her. He needed her. \
"I need you Ginny, I wont let you go, not to him." he whispered.
More and more each day
Some day she would understand that he loved her, and they belonged together.
He had worked so hard to break them up in the first place. Draco and Ginny wanted it to be a secret, but it hadn't been very much of one. Just because they didn't see anyone around when they were snogging in the astronomy tower, did not mean no one was there.
Harry had watched them one night when he was sitting under his invisibility cloak watching the stars. That's when he knew he had to have her. He felt a sudden need for her.
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
It hurt him so bad seeing them now in the alley. He had to sit down and try not to throw up his lunch. The more she loved draco the more Harry needed her. The more intent he became in making sure they would never be together(Draco and Ginny)
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
Maybe she is under a spell or something.
We are not breaking up any time soon. He told himself over and over again. Anger working its way into his eyes.
She had already promised him forever. He would hold her to the word.
So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go ahead and dream about whatever you need to dream about
That is it, he smiled.
She is confused. Poor thing. She will remember where her heart lies. Who she belongs with.
So let her settle this craving, get it out of her system. She would make up her mind better this way. Realize he could never make her happy.
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
She will understand her promise and come back into his open arms. They would be married and he will make her forget all about Malfoy. Oh yes. He would.
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why
When he first found out about Ginny and Draco's secret relationship in school, He would always pretend that it was him she was kissing and not draco.
And when he was snogging with Pavrati in the broom closet, he pretended it was Ginny.
A way to feel her close to him even though she was on the other side of the castle probably snogging Malfoy.
Why was it so important for him to pretend it was her? He hadn't the slightest clue.
It's not supposed to hurt this way
He cringed as he watched Draco Malfoy wrap his arms around Ginny.
He was going to be sick alright.
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me
He has to make her remember what she told him, she loved him.
He needed to make her understand how much he needed her.
How it hurt to be apart from her.
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
They were not breaking up..no..never.
They would last forever.
Because if they didn't. and Harry could not have her………………………..Well than no one else, especially a Malfoy,would have her either.
