Ginny sat down on the large platform that was high in an oak tree and dangled her legs over the side. She looked around and admired her surroundings. It was so beautiful up in the tree. She could see for miles and miles. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the clean air. That's when she heard a crunching sound. She turned around to see Draco standing right behind her.
"Weasley, what are you doing here," growled Draco. This was the one place that he was sure he could get away from the girl that plagued his dreams. Now she sat right in front of him.
"Why should I tell you," said Ginny, sticking her chin in the air as she turned back to the woods. 'Great, that prat is just the thing I wanted to get away from and now he's standing right behind me.'
Draco stared at Ginny's back. He hated to admit it but he liked it when she got angry. He liked the sparks in her eyes, and how her cheeks turned a light red color. She showed so much passion for what she cared for. Deep down in his soul, in the deepest chamber of his heart, he wished she cared so passionately for him. Suddenly his feet, as if having a mind of their own, walked slowly over to where Ginny was seated. He kept his eyes on the horizon as he set himself down beside his maid.
"Aren't you scared that you might get contaminated if you sit beside a Weasley," asked Ginny, keeping her eyes on the sky in front of hers.
"If I was then I never would have you as a maid, now would I?" Draco looked over at Ginny. Her hair looked so lively. His fingers itched to release it from the hair band she put it up with and run his fingers through it. He ached to kiss those full, cheery lips again. He wanted to hold her close, to feel her body pressed firmly against his own.
'What would father think about me fancying a Weasley,' thought Draco. Then Draco came to his senses. 'Why do I care what he thinks? He's not my father anymore.'
"Why are you out here?" Ginny couldn't stand the silence growing between the two. She thought maybe, just this once, Draco might be able to carry on a polite conversation.
"To think," replied Draco. It was true. Whenever he had to think he'd go to his little hideaway in his grandmother's woods. It was peaceful. He could sit out there for hours and not know it.
"Bout' what?" Again, Ginny's motherly instincts kicked in. She could tell Draco was going through something horrible and wanted to comfort him. She knew he was a Malfoy but that didn't matter anymore. He was still a human and was still able to feel.
"Just...stuff," answered Draco.
"You don't have to answer this if you don't want to but, why are you staying with here, with your grandmother," asked Ginny quietly.
"You don't want to know." Draco looked down at his hands. How could she, a Weasley, want to know what happened to a Malfoy. They were supposed to hate each other. Instead they were sitting side by side, trying to have a proper conversation.
"Yes I do." Ginny's reply stunned Draco. She wanted to know? Why? Didn't she hate him? "I know it would help to talk about your problems."
"Fine you want to know why I'm here," roared Draco as he stood up and began to pace. "I was disowned okay! Are you happy now? My father disowned me because I didn't want to be a Death Eater! Now you can go off and tell your little friends how Malfoy has nothing. He doesn't have a loving family or real friends. You can all have a good laugh!" He walked over to the other side of the platform and sat down.
Ginny felt so bad. She couldn't believe that anyone could disown their own child. She got up and slowly walked over to where Draco was sitting and sat down. She sat there for a while trying to think of something to say but nothing came to mind, so she did what she thought might help. She put her small hand on his arm in a comforting manner.
Draco looked up when he felt something on his arm. Ginny was sitting beside him, concern in her eyes, her hand placed on his arm to comfort him. He had no idea what was going on and he really didn't care. He felt a weight lifted off of him as he spilled out his soul to Ginny.
"I not going to tell anyone," whispered Ginny. "It's okay to talk about it you know. I'll listen." Ginny moved her hand from his arm to his back and lightly massaged his tense muscles.
"It's just I've always wanted my father to be proud," said Draco. "I tried but when time came for me to get the mark, I just...couldn't. I've seen my father kill before. It's horrible." Draco stared straight ahead, remembering how much his father put him thought.
"I'm sorry." Ginny rested her head against Draco's shoulder. The very gesture made Draco smile. He felt like someone really cared for him, and he liked that feeling. He looked down at Ginny and saw a lone tear make it's way down her beautiful face.
"Why are you crying," asked Draco. He couldn't help but feel concerned. He wiped the tear away with his thumb and positioned himself so he was facing Ginny.
"It's nothing," said Ginny. "You just don't deserve to go through something like this. It's not fair."
Draco couldn't believe his ears. She acted like she cared for him. He was sure she knew how horrible he was at school. He had even said things to her that would make Ron come after him. Then he remembered how it never seemed to get to her. She just looked him in the eyes and walked away. His rude comments never affected her like they did with her brothers. She had a huge, forgiving heart.
"Don't cry over me," he said looking back out at the clear, blue sky. "I'm not worth it. I'm a horrible person."
"How can you say that?" Ginny was truly aggravated at him. "You put up a wall between you and everyone else. I've seen your caring side before. I know you're capable of loving someone. I know you love Angelica. I could see it in your eyes. You're not a horrible person." Her tone lighted as she calmed down. "You can be a brat sometimes but that doesn't qualify you to be a horrible person. I know you could be human if you tried."
Draco smiled, a real smile. For some odd reason this girl had gotten through his tough exterior and seen his real personality. Sure, he was still sarcastic but he was far from cruel, like his father. He could be mean, and he was a little more arrogant than your average person but that didn't mean he was a future Death Eater. Some how Virginia Weasley, the young temptress that sat in front of him, knew that.
"Would you stop looking at me," laughed Ginny. "You're giving me the creeps."
"Sorry," mumbled Draco tearing his eyes away from Ginny.
"Whoa, stop the presses! Did Draco Malfoy just...apologize? Never thought I'd see the day." Ginny was beginning to enjoy Draco as company.
"Shut up, Weasley," snapped Draco. "Why were you out here."
"I...er, I was just....thinking," stuttered Ginny. "Yeah, just thinking."
"Bout' what," asked Draco, making fun of how Ginny talked to him earlier.
"Hey, I didn't sound like that," cried Ginny as she tried to hide her amusement.
"Yes you did," said Draco as he laid back on the platform. "You don't even remember what you sounded like? Just goes to prove my theory, all Weasleys are mad."
"We are not," said Ginny as she punished Draco in the arm.
"That wasn't a good idea Gin-Gin." Draco grabbed Ginny around the waist and brought her down beside him on the platform. He rolled over, pinning her down with his weight. Ginny struggled underneath him, and tried to push him off but he was too heavy.
Draco looked straight into Ginny's honey colored eyes. 'Those eyes are going to be the death of me,' thought Draco. He could feel her heart racing. Could he possibly be doing that to her? Suddenly he became aware of how close their lips were. He could see every freckle that sprinkled across her cute nose. He couldn't take it anymore. He's lips crashed down onto hers.
Ginny could tell that he'd wanted to kiss her all day. His kiss told his secret. His tongue eagerly made it's way into her mouth as his hands slid up and down her sides, sending shivers down her spine. She didn't know how or why Draco had such a hold on her senses, he just did.
They pulled away reluctantly and looked into each other's eyes, waited to see what the other would do. "Draco, what did that mean," asked Ginny, breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" Draco was genuinely puzzled.
"What did that kiss mean to you," asked Ginny desperately. She had to know. "Did it mean anything or nothing at all?"
"I..."
Well, how is it. I know it's a cliffhanger. I'm a so sorry guy. I'm kinda having a hard time writing it. What should I do next? I'm so lost. Anyways, I'm sure I can sort it out in a day or two. By the way...
