Chapter Eleven
Draco waited eagerly in his room, ready to set his master plan to work. He
opened the door for Hermione and gestured for her to sit in the large
armchair in the corner which the couple was quite familiar with.
Draco turned away from her and bowed his head, attempting to look upset. Hermione placed her hand on Draco's shoulder, as she saw he was struggling for words.
"What's wrong?" she asked, kissing him gently on his neck.
"I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm in love with two women." He said quickly awaiting the effects of this. He was studying her face intently.
At first he saw a flash of anger, but the she said soothingly, "Is that all? Who's the lucky girl, besides me of course?"
Draco smirked inwardly. It had worked; the rings caused them to do what he wanted, even have two girlfriends. "It's.Ginny." He said powerfully, now in total control.
"Good pick." She said with her own devious voice.
"Well, I better be off to the library, see you later." She said and kissed Draco passionately before heading out the door.
He couldn't believe how easy it had been to manipulate Hermione. The once bright and intelligent girl was now reduced to mindless putty to be molded however Draco pleased.
There was a knock on the door. Knowing it must be Ginny, Draco splashed on some cologne and then slowly opened the door and beckoned her inside.
Her attitude was different that Hermione's. She was shy and a bit nervous. It was actually refreshing to have the love of someone so pure and innocent. Too bad she was going to be corrupted. Draco was so confident with how things went with Hermione. He wasted no time telling Ginny the news.
"I've decided not to break up with Hermione." He said boldly.
Ginny's heart sank and a tear rolled down her cheek. She was having trouble breathing. "Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous infatuation with love." She said in a shaking voice.
Draco suddenly felt a pain inside that he'd never felt before. He rushed to her side and tried to calm her down. "Shh.shh.It's okay, calm down." He said, wiping the tears away from her eyes with his gentle fingers. "You don't understand.I was..er.just.TESTING you." He said trying to make up for what he had said.
"Why would you do that?" Ginny asked, now regaining her breath.
"It was stupid. I'm sorry." Draco said. "Why don't you go back to your room and we'll talk about this tomorrow after breakfast." He whispered. Ginny nodded and went out the door.
Why hadn't it worked on Ginny? Why did she react differently than Hermione? All he knew was that he had never hurt so much, even when his father would punish him, than when he had hurt Ginny.
Draco sat awkwardly on at his desk staring at the blank piece of parchment in front of him that was supposed to be his Charms essay. He twirled his quill slowly in his hands trying to think. He dropped the quill into the bottle of ink, giving up on trying to finish his report early. Slowly he rose from his chair and went to sit down on his bed. He was still perplexed.
'Why didn't it work?', he asked himself. 'What was it about Ginny that made her not want to submit to his plan? Maybe Hermione wasn't the brightest after all.'

Ginny walked gracefully back to her bedroom, half sad half relieved. She still couldn't understand why Draco would question her love, but was relieved when she found out his words were false. She felt awkward as she was almost betraying her friend by stealing her boyfriend. But she couldn't help it. Her feelings were too strong. In fact, she decided she would talk to Hermione herself so that Draco wouldn't be the only one she blamed.
