Chapter Ten
Ginny looked at the owl curiously as she took the dark red envelope, addressed "Ginevra Weasley". She smiled broadly and opened it, dunking her head under the cool water.
"GINEVRA WEASLEY! YOU GET HOME RIGHT NOW! YOU HAVE US ALL WORRIED! RON DOESN'T SLEEP, HARRY IS OUT LOOKING FOR YOU NIGHT AND DAY, AND YOUR DEAR HUSBAND, FREATING THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU! YOU GET HOME RIGHT NOW! THE CLOCK SAYS SAFE, SO YOU BETTER STOP HIDDING AND GET YOUR ARSE BACK HOME! NOW!" Ginny heard the screaming threw the water and her smile immediately turned into a frown.
When the yelling stopped Ginny poked her head out of the water in time to see the howler shred into pieces. She had always thought they were hilarious until now. She sighed and stepped out of the tub and dried off.
After she was dressed into her night clothes, she lay on her bed restlessly awake. A tapping at her window diverted her attention and she got up to answer her window. When she saw the bird her breath caught her throat and she stepped back as it went to bite her angrily.
It flew around the room as she ducked and ran, screaming trying to avoid its painful pecks.
......
Draco angrily growled at Ginny. Didn't she see that he couldn't go back? That Azkaban would kill him. No, she only thought about herself, or rather people she didn't know like the reporter.
He looked back to the reporter, snatching the camera and searching threw the reporters clothes. He found the man had taken at least 20 of his books, shrinking them to his pocket. Draco thanked Merlin that Ginny had his journal.
Who knows what the sneaky reporter would have done with it. Draco then enervated the confused man.
"Ergh." The man on the floor moaned, looking around, his eyes settling on Draco's shinned black dress shoes. His eyes slowly traveled up to Draco's glaring face.
"Hello Sir, you must be Draco Malfoy?" He asked as he stood from the floor extending his hand. Draco crossed his arms, raised his left eyebrow, and looked at the man's extended hand. "Ok. I'm Robert Timing, reporter for the Daily Prophet."
"Seems your timing is off." Draco spat and gave the camera to an elf that was putting the books back.
"I can explain." Robert began.
"No, I don't think you can."
"I was sent by Dumbledore. I went to Hogwarts with you, and so he thought that if I did a story in the Prophet, it might help your case." Robert told him pleadingly.
"I never saw you at Hogwarts." Draco said his voice rising.
"I was a year behind you."
"Name three people from your class, and tell me a little about each one then." Draco smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"There was Collin Crevvey; he went around following Harry Potter all the time taking pictures of him. He works for the Prophet now too and is still taking pictures of people, even Harry at times. Then there was Luna Lovegood; she was insanely weird and would always wear that growling hat at Gryffindor games. Her only friend it seemed like was Ginevra Weasley," Draco stopped breathing and listened harder.
"So I became her friend and boyfriend later. You even teased me about it and pushed me into the lake. Oh and last, Ginevra Weasley. What a beauty she was! She stopped fawning over Potter in her fourth year and started talking more. That girl had guts, as one time when you were playing on the pitch, and she hexed you. You fell from your broom and she levitated you just before you hit the ground. Then right when you were only a foot from the ground she let the charm up, and you fell flat on your back. Remember that? But that wasn't as bad as the time that she hexed Snape's hair purple. She had guts alright. I still don't get why she went out with-" he paused as a loud sound blasted threw the house.
Someone was yelling but the words couldn't be made out.
"You wait right here," Draco went to go up the stairs but paused. "Do you trust me?"
"I do Mr. Malfoy." Robert answered. Draco smirked and stupefied him.
Draco ran up the stairs and stopped outside her door. It was quite and he wasn't too sure if he wanted to enter into her sanctuary, the one place he had only went in a few times, and avoided.
After a while he sat down leaning his back against the opposite wall.
"What are you doing to me Ginevra Weasley?" Draco whispered into the hallway.
'All these feelings for her, and she doesn't return them. Your weak, letting your pride be wounded. You don't like her. You don't want her in your house; you're going to make her leave. She makes you weak, and she questions you. She's too close. Send her home.' His father's voice filled his head and Draco took in a deep breath, leaning his head against the wall.
"I'll never be as weak as you father." Draco said aloud in the hall. It softly echoed down the hall and Draco smirked. He wouldn't be like his father. His father was weak, not him. His father was insecure, and he was working on not being so.
Draco let out a deep breath and sat in the hall silently. The silence was quickly broken as a screeching owl, and screaming of a girl filled the hall. Draco jumped up and opened her bedroom door looking at the havoc. The owl was chasing Ginny across the room, pecking at her as she ran and dived under the bed. Draco drew his wand out and stupefied the bird, which fell to the floor in an odd position.
"Ginevra?" Draco called out. He watched as her head popped out from under the bed.
"Oh, it's only you." She looked relieved. He raised an eye brow and walked over to her offering her a hand off of the floor. She took it and allowed him to pull her up and close to him.
Draco reached his hand out, wiping the blood off of her cheek. Ginny closed her watering eyes and leaned into his gentle touch. Draco dropped his touch and pulled out a white linen handkerchief, wiping the blood off and placing it in her hand. He stepped back from her and placed his hands in his pockets walking over to the evil looking owl.
"Are you alright Ginevra?" Draco asked.
"I told you my name is Ginny, and I meant it. Yes, I will be fine." Ginny answered pushing the once white hanky to her cheek.
Draco bent down and pulled the letter out of the owl's tight gripped claw. He straightened it out and read the address aloud.
"'To my Dearest Ginevra,'" Draco gave a chuckle, "See, if you were my dearest, I wouldn't send a psychotic owl to attack you. Maybe I'm doing something wrong."
Ginny looked at Draco wide eyed. She reran the words in her head, 'If you were my dearest, Maybe I'm doing something wrong..'
"What are you saying Draco?" Ginny asked looking at his body and meeting his eyes again.
"I'm saying you have a letter right here in my hand and I will be forced to open it if you don't take it from my hands immediately." Draco said looking at her as if she were a child. Ginny looked at the letter and slowly took it.
"Draco, please, would you wait until I finish reading it before you go?" Ginny asked. Draco gave a dramatic sigh and sat on her large over sized chair.
"Thank you." Ginny sat down on her bed and opened the letter.
"Who's it from?" Draco asked.
"My husband." Ginny whispered looking at the letter. Draco was intrigued, he leaned forward and was about to get up.
"Stay there." Ginny said still reading the letter.
'My Dearest Ginevra,
I know this finds you well. I have been wondering were you might be for sometime. What a bad girl you are to trick me and sneak off with that blonde man, Malfoy. You will be punished along with him.'
Ginny winced and Draco stood taking the letter from her and reading it.
"What is this guy's deal? I really just do not understand." Draco said reading the letter.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked.
"He didn't sign his name." Draco said winking at her. Ginny gave him a glare and snatched the letter back.
"Ginevra-"
"Ginny."
"Ginny, you have my thoughts from my journal and yet I know none of your own thoughts. It's unfair for one to know so much about one person and the other left curious." Draco sat back into the chair and crossed his arms waiting.
"Well then.. Ask a question and I will answer it to the best that I can." Ginny sighed and crumpled the letter sitting on her bed.
"Why are you here still?" He asked looking at her face.
"I like the food." Ginny laughed at he scowled. "No, really, I have no where else to go, and now that he found me.."
"You will not leave. He would find you quicker, plus, I'm adding wards where he won't be able to come near you." Draco explained as Ginny nodded.
"Thank you." Ginny whispered ashamed.
"You're welcome." Draco said standing from the chair and standing in front of her.
He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face to his. Slowly he leaned down touching his lips lightly to hers. Ginny smiled as he pulled back from her, his breathing uneven.
"I never thought you would be so," Ginny paused thinking.
"What Weasley?!" Draco spat angrily stepping back.
"Gentle." Ginny answered simply. Draco smirked at her and winked.
"Oh yes, very." He said sarcastically. He looked at her and all his anger faded and he gave her a small smile.
"Draco, I think I need to leave." Ginny told him looking down. Draco felt his heart ach and he put a hand to it. Ginny looked up at his pained face.
"Why?" He said looking more than upset.
"I..I can't put you in any more danger. You have done so much to help me and all I have done is become a nuisance. I do not think I can allow myself to burden you any longer."
"If you were a burden you would be on your arse in the street. I said you would stay here." Draco told her. Ginny nodded. "Who is your husband?"
"Draco, I don't think I am ready to tell you. Please, just give me time." Ginny said weary.
"What does he look like?" Draco rose and eyebrow watching as she put her head in her hands.
"I won't play this game."
"Does he look.. Anything like me?" Draco quickly looked away.
Ginny looked over at his red face. Is this what was bothering him? That she might only be with him because he looked like her husband.
"No Draco, he looks nothing like you. He has dark hair and dark eyes. He's taller than me, shorter than you and has a wicked bad temper." Ginny answered. She watched as he sighed in relief. If she had not been watching she was positive she wouldn't have known.
"Do you still have my journal?" Draco said switching the topic.
"I do." Ginny was mentally slapping herself for not putting it away. She glanced at the bathroom door to see if it was shut, as it wasn't. Draco's eyes followed hers, settling on the bathroom door.
"So, its in there then?" He stood and walked into the bathroom. On the counter was a pair of scissors and on the toilet his journal. He smiled and picked it up.
"I haven't finished." Ginny told him, watching as he walked back into the room.
"What was the last thing you read?" He opened the journal flipping at the pages. Ginny took a deep breath.
"Harry just came on the TV in the muggle hotel you were staying in. You were tired and said you would continue again." Ginny blushed and looked at everything but Draco's face. He turned the page a couple times and began reading.
"I don't know what to do. I'm lost in this spacey hotel room. For," Draco paused in his reading and muttered the next word, "fucks sake why is the only thing interesting in this place a TV. Give me my potions books hell any book, it would be better than thinking of her, of Ginevra Weasley."
Draco frowned as his voice squeaked while he read the last sentence. He suddenly remembered how much he had written about her. As if he ever forgot his girl, waiting for him where the orchids bloom in the summer's sun, no, he would never forget. He closed his eyes and the book.
"Ginny, these are personal thoughts. Personal memories. What are you looking for in them?"
Ginny didn't answer as she stared at him.
"Well?!" He said getting angry.
"Just keep reading." She answered. Draco looked at her angrily. How dare she request that of him? Draco opened the book and continued.
"Its not like we ever even got along, exclude a few good times, but she's what I think about the most. It's like she's screaming inside my head. I wish I knew what she was doing, what she was thinking about, and if it was me. I can't stop thinking of that kiss. It was so innocent." Draco stopped reading as Ginny interrupted.
"What was it about that kiss Draco, it was so simple yet it kept you alive for so long." Ginny asked standing and walking over to him. She carefully sat down on the chairs autumn, watching him.
"It was just that. Such a simple careless action. I have never had a person care fore me Ginny. Then there you came, looking after me, even kissing my cheek and wishing me good luck." Draco said unabashedly.
Ginny leaned forward and kissed his lips hardly, pulling back too quickly for Draco's taste.
"I do not think I could say what I feel." Ginny told him. He grinned at her and nodded.
"I do not think I could say what I feel, either." Draco said. Ginny looked at his handsome face sadly.
"I don't know how to let you in." Ginny whispered. Draco thought his heart would melt.
"We have the same problems." He whispered back. Ginny smiled and raised an eyebrow. Draco noted his habits rubbing off on her. "Yes?"
"Where's that reporter?"
Draco looked confused for a moment before remembering. He jumped up and widened his eyes.
"Whoops. Must have forgotten about him." Draco said trailing off as he walked to her bedroom door. Ginny stood and walked with him, leaving the journal she had taken from his hands on the autumn.
"So who is the reporter anyway?" Ginny asked. Draco shot her a side glance.
"Robert Timing." Ginny let out a squeal and ran down the stairs leaving Draco behind.
"THAT'S ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS!!" She screamed as she ran.
"WAIT!" He yelled after her. Draco yanked his wand out and stupefied her and quickly levitated her back up to him. "Enervate."
"DRACO MALFOY! If you EVER stupefy me again, I'll BEAT YOUR-" Draco's hand slapped over her mouth.
"Miss Ginevra Weasley, you were about to expose your where-abouts to a reporter." Draco told her. "Then that reporter would have told the press who would tell Harry bloody Potter. Bad move."
Ginny turned a deep scarlet and calmed. She quickly muttered a Thank you and headed back to her room.
Draco sighed as he watched her walking back to her room, her hips swaying beautifully as she walked. He leaned back as she turned a corner tripping. Draco landed on his backside and grimaced. When he fell for someone, he fell hard.

Ginny looked at the owl curiously as she took the dark red envelope, addressed "Ginevra Weasley". She smiled broadly and opened it, dunking her head under the cool water.
"GINEVRA WEASLEY! YOU GET HOME RIGHT NOW! YOU HAVE US ALL WORRIED! RON DOESN'T SLEEP, HARRY IS OUT LOOKING FOR YOU NIGHT AND DAY, AND YOUR DEAR HUSBAND, FREATING THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU! YOU GET HOME RIGHT NOW! THE CLOCK SAYS SAFE, SO YOU BETTER STOP HIDDING AND GET YOUR ARSE BACK HOME! NOW!" Ginny heard the screaming threw the water and her smile immediately turned into a frown.
When the yelling stopped Ginny poked her head out of the water in time to see the howler shred into pieces. She had always thought they were hilarious until now. She sighed and stepped out of the tub and dried off.
After she was dressed into her night clothes, she lay on her bed restlessly awake. A tapping at her window diverted her attention and she got up to answer her window. When she saw the bird her breath caught her throat and she stepped back as it went to bite her angrily.
It flew around the room as she ducked and ran, screaming trying to avoid its painful pecks.
