Chapter 4

The time of the ball rolled around and Ginny was getting ready. The door creaked and

Hermione walked in. she was quiet for a minute then spoke up.

"I'm sorry Gin, we didn't mean to hurt you."

"It wasn't you, 'Mione, ok? Don't get involved. Ron and Harry hurt me. Draco's there for

me."

Hermione caught her off guard with the next question. "Why him?"

Ginny thought about it for a minute then, surprising Hermione, replied with the

most unlikely reply.

"Because I love him."

Hermione was shocked then she said she was happy for Ginny and left. Ginny put

the finishing touches on her outfit and left.

Draco was waiting outside the Fat Lady's portrait waiting for Ginny. He was nervous, so

nervous that his hands were sweaty. His forehead was creased and all he could do was

pace. When Ginny walked out he sighed in relief.

"Hey Virginia," He said.

She walked up and kissed him on the cheek, but at that moment the Dream team

walked out and Ron looked like he was going to explode. They walked away and

Hermione held Ron back, insisting that Ginny should learn her own lesson.

At the ball Draco and Ginny danced every slow dance and a few dances in between, and

they mingled with the crowd. A lot of girls looked at Ginny with jealousy and some of the guys

looked at her with jealousy too. Ginny was, by far, extremely good looking, and this night was

no exception. A couple of guys came up and tried to cut in, but Draco said no threateningly

every time. Ginny laughed at him for his actions, but thought it was cute anyway.

The ball went on for ages, and Draco started to look uncomfortable hanging out inside.

"Let's go outside!" Ginny exclaimed and started to walk out. Draco followed her to the

balcony, where she was staring at the stars. He knew people were watching, so he slid his arm

around her waist and kissed her neck.

"Draco..." she murmured and looked at him, "I'm not sure I can do this a full month."

"You will." He demanded, "You agreed to this, you will follow through."
He said this almost violently and Ginny got scared He noticed her change and sighed. Why

were women so difficult?

"Virginia, there's something you have to understand." She looked at him with intrigue and

he went on. "I didn't do this for you, I didn't do this because I liked you; I did this so I could

try to prevent something in my future I don't want to live with. There's more to me than

meets the eye.

I know I can be stupid and arrogant, but that's me. There's nothing any one can do to

change me. I've been raised in a family of death eaters. Instead of God, my family prays to

Voldermort. (She flinched, but he went on) I can't live with my expectations. My dad is always

saying, do this or do that. He expects me to follow in his footsteps. You have to understand

I'm doing everything to avoid that. Even if it means dating a blood traitor and a Weasley."

She looked at him with disgust. So, he'd been using her to get out of becoming a death

eater? She knew he was to become one, but she didn't think about that when she chose to use

him for revenge. Well, she'd just have to live with it; after all, this was her plan in the first

place.

"Fine Malfoy, I will continue for the month. But I want to know something. Are you to

become a death eater?"

Nice place to end, no? Anyway, if you guys could tell me what you want to see in the next few chapters I'd appreciate it. I already have some plans, but I like input. Thanks, Draco'sGirl88
