The Right Kind Of Sinner

Ginny looked around the room. It was the first time she'd ever seen such a beautiful place that she really had no patience for…

"Wow…"

Draco smiled at her wonderment and stepped inside with her. "It's not much… I had to build it myself and I'm horrible at shit like this.

Ginny set her bags down. "Well, you did a very good job, for one that could give two shits about anyone other than himself."

Draco sighed, shutting the door behind the both of them. "I'm sorry. I know you don't want to be here any more than I do right now, but we have to make due with what we have."

Ginny sat on the small couch in the corner, turning her gaze from him to the door, and then to him again.

"So long as I'm not here for too long…this might not be too bad."

Draco smiled and took the bags away. "The bedroom is right through this door. There's one bed, but I've already decided that you get it-"

"Oh you decided did you?" Ginny snapped, hopping off of the couch and startling Draco quite a bit.

"Pardon me?"

"You make all the decisions! You decided that this was going to be the place we stayed, you decided that we were going to take that main road with all the uprooted gravel, you decided that I couldn't get out of the car when I dropped my sunglasses," she stepped up to him and poked him hard in the chest, "and not you decided that I was going to sleep in the bed. What if I don't want to sleep in the bed huh? What if I want to sleep on the couch?"

Draco's eyes widened as he started to back away from her. "Look Ginny, I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"

"No you don't mean anything you say  do you? I should have known when you told me I looked nice when I got out of the car. You never mean anything do you, you prat?"

Draco slipped back, tripping over a large oak chair. "I'm sorry Ginny, really I am!"

Ginny fell to her knees, tears dripping one by one down her miserable cheeks. "Why me… Why can't I just be happy for once in my life?"

Draco looked down at the poor…obviously despondent young creature. "I'm sorry lass…I just…I don't know what to do for you…"

Abruptly, Ginny started pounding at his ankles. "Why me??? Why does he have to want me of all people??"

Draco knelt down and lifted her into his arms. "Just let it all out…"

She began pounding on his chest with hard blows that made him want to whimper. "Why in fucks name would he want a…a bloody ugly byrd like me??"

Sympathetically, Draco caressed the back of her head. "Go on…"

The tears were like fire, burning with embarrassment as she realized fully what was happening. "I'm…"

Draco slid one finger to her lips. "Don't. You have no reason to." He stood, taking her up with him.

"I… It's just…"

"You don't have to say anything. It really is ok."

Ginny nodded. "Could I… Could I take a little nap?"

Draco nodded and led her to the room. It was painted black, (as he knew no other color that he liked,) with tiny white dots that he had intended to be stars.

Ginny looked around the small room. "It's pretty…"

Draco stepped over to the bed and pulled the blankets back. "Go on in. I'll play father dearest and tuck you."

Ginny crawled in and lay her head on the dark pillow. She closed her eyes and within seconds she was fast asleep, dreaming of better days when she was at home, happy, in her parents arms.

~*~*~

Draco poured some tea into his cup. Something about her was different… Different from when they were kids. She was full of a zeal that would have made him pounce her when they were kids. He couldn't now… She was his…assignment… His induction.

There was nothing about himself that made him proud. This was just another thing to add to the long list of disappointments.

~*~*~

Nightmares were only one of the many things that plagued poor Ginny Weasley. She hated that about herself…More than once had she awoken in the bed of a very confused roommate.

A slight creak in the floor made Ginny shriek and fly out of bed as Harry had after the word "commitment". Her thrashes and smacks made whoever it was start screaming as well.

"Ginny, calm down! It's just me!" Draco grabbed her wrists and held her arms above her head. "It's just me."

Ginny's breathing calmed down, and she leaned into him. "Don't do that to me!"

His arms came around her, and he stroked her hair as soothingly as his rough hands could manage. "I'm sorry."

She closed her eyes, her own hands coming to rest on his chest. "I just want to go home Malfoy…"

He winced at the name, but rested her chin on his shoulder nonetheless. "I know you do. Just go to sleep for me, ok?"

~*~*~

The sunlight on her eyelids woke her up. She rolled over tightly, since something was apparently holding her down. 'The blankets,' she assumed. When she completed her roll, she found her nose pressed up against something… It wasn't an unpleasant smell…just unexpected.

Draco's eyes fluttered open, and he was shocked at what they told him… Ginny looked so much sweeter when she was asleep… He feared the moment that she woke up and realized she had fallen asleep with him and began her attack. To think of how quiet it was right now… Why couldn't she stay this way forever?

"W-Wha…"

Uh oh…

"You fell asleep with me. Please don't scream! Please don't cry! I didn't do it I swear-"

Ginny chuckled. "It's ok Malfoy. I remember." Leaning over, Ginny pecked his lips and stood up.

"I'll see you in a bit. I'm going to take a bath, and I expect two eggs and some bacon awaiting me when I get out!"

As she hopped over to the bathroom, all Draco could think was, 'What the fuck!?'
