Summary: Ginny falls in love with an unlikely Slytherin and their helplessly in love, but what happens when their families and friends try to tear them apart. Can Ginny and Draco survive this time and continue their forbidden love?
-The Forbidden Love- Chapter 2: Back to School
Draco sniggered as he opened the door and let them in.
"Mister Patil, Mister Lovegood, and Mister Thomas, how may I help you?" asked Draco politely, "And why, may I ask, why are you dressed like this?"
"Ahh, Young Mister Malfoy," replied Mister Patil, "We are here for the papers that we sent you to sign... about the money your father has in his bank account and housing estates?"
"Everything will be going to you of course, we just need the papers to confirm it to the Ministry of Magic," continued Mister Thomas.
"We are attending a ball with the muggles... I can't want to see if they know about the one-eyed snorplunk!" exclaimed Mister Lovegood, "I mean, muggles are fascinating creatures themselves! I can't wait to hear their opinions! And, yes, I know this tornado thing that we are wearing looks ridiculous but, thats muggles for you!"
Draco rolled his eyes at Luna's father's twittering, now he knew where she got all her rubbish from, "Why don't you come in instead of standing on the doorstep like... like penguins standing on the doorstep?"
Draco started cracking up at his own joke.
"We are not amused," said Mister Patil snottily as he walked into Malfoy Manor. Mister Lovegood and Mister Thomas, however, look astonished how different Draco Malfoy's character was. Draco rolled his eyes again but shut the door after them.
"Come on, Mister Malfoy," said Mister Thomas, "We don't have much time!"
Boy, this was going to be so boring...
"Not him again," thought Ginny to herself as she saw Harry mounting his broom and speeding up towards her. As though getting her bludger out to practice her beater skills, she casually floated down and released a bludger and snatched up her bat.
Merrily ignoring Harry, who was flying after her, trying to get her attention, she proceeded to hit the bludger at him. Harry yelled as he managed to dodge the particularly large and fast bludger as Ginny stiffled a laugh.
The whole afternoon was devoted to Ginny aiming her bludger at Harry and Harry screaming and dodging it. When it was turning dark, Ginny aimed her last stroke at the bludger, taking Harry by surprise and knocking him off his Firebolt, making him land on his arse. Hard.
"Ginny! Wait!" yelled Harry as he spotted the red blur streaking back into the castle, laughing her ass off.
"Go away!" she called back, tears of laughter streaming down her face.
"Ginny! Will you just listen!" insisted Harry, scrambling up and taking his Firebolt, following her.
"Did you hear me? Are you deaf? Was it your arse that hit the ground or your head? Its kinda hard to tell the difference you know," replied Ginny, "I said, 'Go Away'!"
Harry finally gave up, and stopped. Looking at Ginny as she walked back in the castle.
'So many years...' thought Harry, 'Why did I finally notice her now, after so many years?'
The holidays were finally over and Ginny was glad. Harry Potter had been trying to speak to her the whole time and she had been avioding him. She was glad that Draco was finally coming back so she could see him again. She had a big grin on her face when she walked out into the grounds to wait for the carriages. She was cold because it was snowing but she was feeling very, very warm.
Finally, the carriages arrived, and stopped in front of her. Draco stepped out of the third carriage and looked around. Stopping when he spotted Ginny, he walked briskly towards her, suddenly sprinting and taking her in his arms and hugging her tight as Ginny squealed in happiness.
"God, Ginny," muttered Draco, burying his head into her shoulder, "I missed you so much..."
"Me too," said Ginny before stretching up to kiss him softly on the lips. Draco smiled and held her hand as they walked up back to the castle.
( To see a picture of the kiss, go to my fan-fic front page... thing, coz the website does not show here. Just click on my pen name up there. )
So caught up in their little lovey dovey world, they did not notice a fuming Harry Potter watch them from the thicket of trees at the side.
"I'm going to make her pay... I'm going to think of a plan," whispered Harry to himself, unknowingly, Lavender Brown, a fellow Gryffindor had heard everything he said.
"Thinking about Ginny again, huh?" said Lavender, "That was some act in the common room that few months ago, I still laugh at the memory..."
"You shut up!"
"Why should I? Besides, I have a plan, I want Draco! I don't want him with that slimy Weasley!" growled Lavender, starring daggers as she saw Draco pull Ginny even closer and whisper into her ear.
"Don't you call her that!" said Harry angrily.
"I can call her whatever I want, and anyway, if you want to hear my plan, you'd better shut up and listen," snapped Lavender. Harry nodded, never taking his eyes away from the couple. Lavender whispered her plan into Harry's ear. She took the pleasure of watching him gasped in shock and squirm in uneasyness.
"That's... thats impossible," stuttered Harry, "And I don't want to hurt her."
"Look, if you don't want to go with it, fine, but I've got a bottle of the potion here in my bag that I got from Knockturn Ally during the holidays," continued Lavender, "and I can just as easily get someone else to act it with me... Malfoy would be so pissed and I'll finally have him..."
"I'm in," said Harry immediately, "When do we start?"
Oh no!
"Do you want to let the school know now?" whspered Draco into Ginny's ear as they stood in front of the Great doors, holding hands and covered in snow.
"Okay... but Ron's going to kill you or something," whispered back Ginny.
"Are you two going to get in or what?" asked a voice from behind them. Turning around, they saw Luna Lovegood with her trademark butterbeer bottle cork necklace and an issue of The Quibbler in her hand.
"Yes Miss Looney," said Draco in a mocking voice.
"Draco, dont'!" growled Ginny.
"Fine, fine!"
"C'mon, who cares, let's just go in," said Ginny. Draco looked a bit doubtful but opened the doors anyways.
The whole hall gasped in surprise when Ginny and Draco walked in, hand in hand. When had a Slytherin ever associated with a Gryffindor anyway? And when had a Malfoy ever associated with a Weasley? Not ever.
Even Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall was surprised, the Headmaster, though, looked amused and smiled serenely at the spotlight couple, his eyes twinkling merrily.
"I'll see you," whispered Draco, giving Ginny a kiss on her cheek before walking to the Slytherin table with his head held high and glaring at the starers.
"Damn, that means she's taken," muttered Seamus Finnigan, the handsome Irish boy of Gryffindor.
"Funny," said Ron, who was sitting beside Seamus, he was practically fuming, "Why is she doing this?" he muttered angrily before walking up to Ginny and dragging her into the nearest empty classroom.
"Have you lost your marbles?" yelled Ron, "What were you thinking? Making your relationship public? Now everybody knows and Mum and Dad will know too! Holy cow! Mum and Dad! You are so dead Ginerva Weasley! You are so bloody hell dead!"
"Ron," insisted Ginny, "Its fine! Really! I'll just tell them the truth!"
"Do you seriously think," said Ron, his voice dangerously soft, "That Mum and Dad would actually give you time to talk about it and that they would actually listen to your point of view? If they did, I'll eat my wand!"
"You wouldn't want to do that!" said Ginny disgustedly, "Its new you know, and it probably wouldn't taste good..."
"Thats not the point!" yelled Ron, practically tearing his hair out.
"Chill, big brother," replied Ginny as she walked across the room and went back to the Great Hall.
"Arrrggghhh!" shouted Ron to no one in particular. But, he was suddenly soaked when a bucket of cold water landed on his head.
"Peeves!!!" he hollared angrilly. His only answer was insane cackling from the poltergiest.
"But... but thats practically impossible!" wailed Harry, "How the hell are we suppose to get her out of the way?"
"Oh, quiet, I told you, I've got it all worked out!" hissed Lavender.
"I never knew you got that in you, Miss Brown," mocked Harry, "I always thought you were the innocent, little one."
"I am not little," bristled Lavender, glaring at Harry.
"Fine, geez... Anyway, when do we start?" asked Harry curiously.
"In a few weeks time..."
"Why so long?"
"We need to get them deeper in love, then we'll attack, the effect would be better..." said Lavender obviously, like she was trying to explain to a stubborn toddler that one plus one really is two.
"Ohh... and what it happens, I'll be there to 'comfort' Ginny..." muttered Harry.
"Yes, and I'll be there for Draco since Pansy's gone now!" cackled Lavender.
"You're really scary sometimes, you know, Lavender?" said Harry, glancing quickly at the laughing witch beside him.
"Come on, lets just go!" said Lavender, "This place gives me the creeps..."
They were, of course, standing right in front of the Forbidden Forest. "Yea, sure," answered Harry, looking around, he quickly scrambled up and walked briskly and casually back to the castle with Lavender at his heels.
"I just don't get her!" wailed Ron, as he slumped in Hermione's couch in the Head Girl room, "One minute she's asking me to swear not to tell Mum and Dad about her and Malfoy, the next shes coming out in front of the whole school with him and then saying that she dosen't care what our parents would say! And I'd be prepared to bet they'd say alot!"
"Ron, thats absoulutely fine!" soothed Hermione, massaging his shoulders, "She just wants you to stop being so over protective of her!"
"But I'm her brother!" said Ron, looking at Hermione with a weary look.
"Yea, and you're my boyfriend," said Hermione cheekily, she started laughing when Ron tickled her on her ribs.
"Ron! Don't!" said Hermione, backing away slowly when she saw Ron's maniacal look in his eyes. "Ron, please! No...! Hahahaha... Please, stop!" She couldn't say anymore because Ron had tackled her and started tickling her mercilessly. She was very ticklish and that was her biggest weakness, after Ron, of course.
"Are you sure you're parents won't kill me or something?" asked Draco again, when Ginny came to his Head Boy room in the middle of the night.
"They can't kill you, but they'll ummm... have a few 'words' with you alright," whispered Ginny, looking amused.
"Hey, did you see the look on your brother's face when we went in?" said Draco, immediately brightening up, "It was priceless!"
"Haha," laughed Ginny, "Yeah, it was, but the talk after that wasn't."
"Are you okay?"
"Yea, why?"
"You're not in trouble or anything, right?" asked Draco, ignoring her questions.
"No, why?"
"Good, so I can properly ask you out to this week's Hogsmeade weekend, I mean, the last one was a disaster and it didn't go as planned," muttered Draco.
"Oh... yes, I remember..." said Ginny, her eyes starting to tear at the horrible memory.
"Oh, god, I'm so stupid, I'm sorry Ginny, I didn't mean to say that!" wailed Draco, kissing her tears away as they fell from her big, brown eyes.
"I'm fine... fine..." muttered Ginny, trying to stop the tears, "I'd better go now..."
"No!" insisted Draco, "No, please, don't go! I'm sorry, stay with me tonight! Please, I'm sorry Ginny..."
Ginny looked at Draco's arms, wrapped protectively around her waist and replied, "Its not like I have a choice do I?"
Draco smiled and pulled her back onto his bed, "Lets just sleep now," he whispered.
Ginny felt a chill run down her spine at hearing his voice. But, it was a nice kind of chill. Ginny felt love, sleeping in Draco's arms. Nothing could ever tear them apart.
Or, so she thought.
"Where did you think you ran off to last night, Ginerva Weasley?" asked Ron in a chilling would be calm voice.
"I... I was in... in my room of course," answered Ginny stuttering.
Ever since the Chamber of Secrets incident, Ginny had been given her own room, to have her own privacy and to stop the other girls from bothering her with their questions about being in the Chamber and being posessed. Ginny had felt in annoying and Dumbledore had allowed her her very own room, just beside Hermione's Head Girl room.
"You were not!" snarled Ron, "I went in there this morning to check on you, but you were not there..."
"I woke up early and left early," replied Ginny, ignoring her brother and taking a piece of toast.
"Don't you ignore me, young lady, you were out of your room!"
"Well," said Ginny, her famous Weasley temper flaring, "Well how about you?! Its not like you were in your bed last night, Ronald Weasley! How do you explain that? You needed a pee in the middle of the night but fell asleep on the toilet bowl by accident? (Everyone laughed at that and Ron's face turned red with embarrasment and anger, that had happened to him when he was 7, and Ginny knew it.)"
"Or was it," Ginny continued, "You just started dream walking and oh so accidentally went into Hermione's private room and fell asleep with your arms around her? Or was it you were..."
"Enough!" shouted Ron. Everyone in the Hall were sniggering and Ron's temper was flaring as well.
"We will discuss this later!" snarled Ron, just as he spotted Draco emerge from the dungeons where his room was located.
Ginny just shrugged but waved at Draco with her piece of toast, he waved back, with a quick wink when no one was looking. Of course, they had planned the whole thing properly, Ginny had left first and after 15 minutes, Draco would enter, so it would look like they came in at different times. Ron had fallen for it. The cheapest trick in the book. Boy, did he need some more knowledge...
To Be Continued...
