Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Harry Potter in any way at all. I don't own the song or have anything to do with it either. It's "Tomorrow" by SR71.
You never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded
Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
Things have changed you've become a complication…
Draco quickly apparated to his house and sat there stewing about Ginny and the conversation he'd over heard. Unluckily for Ginny he'd had two and half hours to build a fierce fury. He apparated into her room at the time they'd set earlier.
"Hey you." She said lovingly when he appeared.
"Hi." He said shortly. "Where's your roommate?"
"She went out tonight." Ginny told him.
"How convenient." Draco snarled.
"Is something wrong?" Ginny asked uncertainly.
"You could say that. So Weasley, how much is the going rate these days. I should say how much do I owe you for your services rendered last night?" Draco said coldly. The use of Weasley instead of Ginny hurt her more than the question.
"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked.
"You, last night? How much was your virginity worth? A million, two million? You were worth it though. Such a brilliant mix of innocence and sex. I have to admit I was fooled but I won't be again."
"Last night…I thought you were happy about what happened." Ginny was confused by this transformation.
"Happy? To think I was stupid enough to not use protection. I mean please, that's the oldest trick in the book, trapping someone with a baby. I told you last night and I'll tell you again, I don't want children and definitely not some scheming fraud's baby. It's too bad I'm already married, you're game is over."
"What are you saying? That I planned last night so I could get your money?"
"Oh, feign innocence. It doesn't work twice I'm afraid. Go run you scheme on someone else." Draco was lashing out in his anger. Somehow Ginny managed to hurt him more deeply than anyone ever had. He hated the feeling of agony that was running through him. He'd never experienced this much emotion before; beneath the layers of anger was a well of pain.
"What happened last night happened because I love you. Don't you understand that?" Ginny wailed beginning to realize he actually believed what he was saying. For a brief second Draco's face revealed all the anguish he was feeling. He looked devastated and completely destroyed but he quickly shielded himself again by hiding in his anger.
"Love?" Draco yelled and laughed. "You are classic. If you turn up pregnant just get rid of it. I don't want your abomination of a child and I know you won't want it either now that you realize there isn't any money in it for you."
"Draco stop! I mean it. What you are saying is crazy. I love you, I think I have from the second I met you. There was always something in you that I saw that was so pure and wonderful I couldn't look anywhere else. I would never try to use you in any way. Never." Ginny told him honestly her tone was desperate.
"Lies. Get out of my face and out of my life. I never want to see you again." Draco stormed out into the hall and apparated.
Ginny couldn't believe what had just happened. As realization began to dawn she slowly sunk into the sofa and began to cry. She cried for herself, she cried for Draco but mostly she cried for all the things they could have had but never would. Sarah came home to find Ginny in this state. She was sitting on the sofa looking miserable.
"What happened?" Sarah sat next to Ginny and wrapped her arms around her.
"Draco, he thinks I only slept with him because he's rich." Ginny sobbed.
"What? He seriously came here to say that?" Sarah said angrily.
"Yes. I could hardly believe it." Ginny wiped her tears away. "His expression, he looked so hurt. I mean before the anger took over, he looked seriously wounded. I think he cares about me. He says most women only want him for his money."
"Gin, if he had the impression that you only want his money and he cares about you, I can understand why he's hurt. So are you just doing to let him have his misconception or are you going to tell him the truth?" Sarah asked Ginny.
"I'm no coward." Ginny said forcefully.
"Then go tell him all about it." Sarah smiled at her encouragingly.
A few days later, when Ginny finally found some time to get away from work she went to Draco's office to see him. He worked as a lawyer in a wizard firm. He was very very good at his job.
"I'm here to see Mr. Malfoy, please." Ginny politely told the woman sitting at the desk.
"And you are?" She asked Ginny indifferently.
"Virginia Weasley."
"He's in a meeting right now but I can take a message for you." The woman offered.
"Oh, you can tell him I'll just come back later." Ginny smiled and left the office.
A couple of hours later Ginny stopped by his office again. She heard Draco talking as she walked in so she eagerly approached the secretary.
"I'm here to see Mr. Malfoy." Ginny said.
"He's not available, can I take a message?" The secretary looked uncomfortable.
"When will he be available?" Ginny asked.
"I don't think for a very long time." The woman actually looked apologetic about having to tell Ginny this.
"Oh." Ginny chewed on her lip as she pondered what she should do. "I'll just wait here for him then. He'll have to come out eventually." Ginny told the woman and sat in a plush chair to wait.
She waited and waited but Draco never showed up. He never acknowledged her presence. Still she sat there and waited.
"Excuse me, but it's time for everyone to leave. I have to lock the office." The secretary said.
"When will he be in tomorrow?" Ginny asked persistently.
"Ms. Sparrow, it's alright, I'll lock up. Just go ahead and leave." Draco walked out of his office and instructed his secretary.
Draco waited until the woman left and looked at Ginny murderously.
"What part of I don't want to see you again are you having trouble understanding?" Draco asked rudely.
"I came here to tell you that you are wrong, so completely wrong about everything. I don't know why you think I only did what I did last night because of your money but your mistaken. I did it because I care about you."
Draco looked at Ginny considering. "You know you might be worth it. How much do you want to warm my bed? I've never had a mistress before so this could be interesting."
"Don't you hear what I'm saying? I love you, Draco." Ginny implored him to understand but he'd already built a shell around himself and wouldn't believe her. She knew it but she still tried to make him listen.
"I hear you. You're pretty convincing too." Draco moved close to her and looked at her crudely. "I'm asking how much you cost to fuck. I mean you are a good lay. Last night was a freebie though, I'm not paying for it."
"I don't want your money." Ginny told him forcefully.
He laughed at her. "Sure you don't. Here." He took out his checkbook and began writing a check. "This should cover a few days worth. Let's go somewhere and screw until we're senseless."
"I don't want your money!" Ginny was getting angry now and her voice rose an octave.
"Everyone wants money. It's what makes the world go round. Here." He thrust a check at her and the amount was outrageously high.
"This is what I think of your money Draco." She took the check and ripped it into shreds. "You know what's sad? You don't even get it. Here I am offering you love and you're throwing it away because you're too proud to consider what I'm saying. Have a great life but remember that I loved you and you didn't want it, you just threw it away. You have no reason to ever feel sorry for yourself because you've built your own prison. No one helped you; you did it all on your own." Ginny turned around, threw the ripped up check into the trash and apparated back to her apartment.
A/N: Hey you guys!!! How are ya?? Hope this wasn't too much of a cliff hanger for you!! I know Draco was totally a jerk but I tried to convey that women were his sore spot and he feels totally betrayed by Ginny even though he wasn't. Sorry about not putting song titles in there I guess it would help huh? The first Chapter was Sixpence none the richer---easy to ignore. The second chapter was Fuel---Shimmer. I'll post em from now on!! This song I used cause it seems like Ginny might be feeling like she was only being used by Draco…I dunno you guys can decide what you think!! So thanks for the reviews! So anyway I'll post the next chappie on either Friday or Saturday I'm not sure which, whenever I have time. But it will definitely be one of those days. Thanks again for reading!! By the way I love the songs I used, they are usually some of my favs. They sort of seem to fit really well so far so hopefully I'll be able to think of fitting ones for later chapters! Adios and thanks for the reviews and in case you're wondering I have very eclectic taste in music so I might surprise you or annoy you!! As always please read and review!!!! Ciao!!
