Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, common sense people... I do own the story though, cause you know I did write it all by myself. :P so there you can't have it! No flames please, unless your stories are better, cause this was really hard! ------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: Yes I know LONG time but I have a good reason...oh wait, no I don't. 'Cept for a bad case of writer's block I had three different chapters, but I merged them all together, parts one, two and three.It's really a lot better than the first...but read the first one so you know what time this is in how old they are and extra stuffs like that I added. The old story is called,"Playing With Love". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Only Fools Play With Love ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Pt. 1
For the first time in awhile it had been raining, "What an appropriate way to end the summer holidays." Hermione said as she looked gloomily out the window of the Express.
"Sometimes I think they make the weather bad just to put our spirits down," Harry said as he bit the head of a chocolate frog, "in speaking of bad, Gin, where's what's-it's-face?"
"Draco, you mean," Ginny snorted as she gave a sharp look at Harry,"honestly, Harry, I don't know what your problem is with him."
Hermione and Ron both looked at each other and rolled their eyes, they knew a fight was coming, they had only heard it about fifty times today. Ever since the break-up of Harry and Ginny, Harry had become rather bitter about the whole subject, yet he seemed to be the one who brought it up every time.
"Well? Where is your prince?" Harry said, rather acidly, to Ginny.
"Harry, I don't know, ok? Is that what you wanted to hear? Do you want me to get hurt just so you can rub it in my face that I was wrong? Well, you're not. I'm sure he's just off with Crabe and Goyle."
Hermione could very well see that Ginny was worried, she knew Draco, and he had never been this late to see anyone, especially Ginny.
"Hey, Ginny, why don't you and I go look for him and get out of this stuffy cab?" Hermione said, looking Harry directly in the eyes.
Harry snorted, "It's a waste of time if I may say. He's probably off groping some girl like Blaise." Hermione didn't know what over came her, but she slapped Harry so hard people three cabins down probably heard it.
"Harry Potter, I don't know what has come over you! I doubt what you're saying is helping Ginny at all!" With that she and Ginny left the cabin.
Ron was in shock, he had never seen Hermione mad enough to slap anyone. (Aside from Draco, and he deserved it.)
"What are you looking at?"Harry said angrily as he rubbed a now bright red cheek.
Hermione passed at least fifty cabins, yet they still hadn't found Draco. Ginny was getting more and more nervous about the whole situation, and Hermione only prayed that he wasn't doing something with someone else.
"Hermione, you don't think that Harry could be right, do you? He may be a Malfoy but I know in my heart that he's not like that, at least I don't think he's like that"Her voiced trailed off as she heard noises coming from a certain cabin. Hermione felt her heart speed up, she knew Draco had to be in there, he had to be, but Hermione didn't want Ginny to hurt.
"Ginny, why don't you and I take a quick break in the lounge?" Ginny pushed Hermione to the side, she knew what she was hiding.
Ginny only had to crack the door open at bit to see who it was and the second she did, she felt her heart break, she saw Draco and Blaise in each others arms. "Draco how could you?" she whispered as a tear slid down her cheek. Hermione pulled Ginny away and quickly closed the door before anyone could notice.
"Ginny, I think it's best that we don't tell anyone, not even Draco ok?"
Ginny's head was buried in her hands as she sat in the hall crying. How could she had been so stupid? Draco was a Malfoy, after all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Pt. 2
Today was their three year anniversary...three years ago today she tied the knot. Every now and then her mind wandered to Harry and Hermione...but not often. It was easy to see how they were doing, after all, Harry was the boy who lived...and now he was a professional Quiditch player. Hermione became the youngest Head Mistress of Hogwarts, but that was a given. "She's only twenty years old..." Ginny thought to herself. And Ron...well he and Lavender were off exploring the world with each other, as far as she knew. She dug her toes in the warm sand, thinking of how her life would have been if she didn't read that note, if she didn't leave Hogwarts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ *Dream*
"Ginny, save me... please... I..."
"Draco, Draco, oh god, don't die, please you can't leave me" Ginny was screaming and crying
"Gin...I...Love... "
"Draco!" But it was no use, his heart had stopped beating.
The doctor sighed and took off his gloves, "Time of death; 3:15 AM," he said.
"I'm sorry, Miss, you have to realize we did everything on our power..."
A silent tear ran down her cheek.
Time passed, and she grew, and almost forgot Draco, until one night.
"Ginny, you're crying, why?"
"Draco...Draco is that you?"
"Ginny, I..."
"Why are you here?"
"For my second chance...with you."
"Draco, I'm married to Seamus"
Draco walked up to Ginny, tears streaming down his cheeks, "Ginny please, don't do this to me."
*End Dream* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Ginny woke up in a cold sweat...Draco, fast asleep was by her side. "Draco...Draco...DRACO!"
"Eh?"
"I had the dream again...Draco, what if it means something?"
Draco pulled her close, "Ginny, sweet-heart, I would never leave you like that and you know it, now why don't you give me a kiss...and we'll go back to bed."
Ginny gave Draco an abrupt kiss, "Oh Draco, I'm just worried he'll find us."
"Ginny, he never will, I hid us real well, and you know it."
"I suppose you're right, night."
"Good-night, my darling."
Draco quickly fell asleep, but Ginny couldn't, she kept thinking of what Draco had said, "...I would never leave you..." she couldn't help but think back to that one day on the train.
"Maybe I should tell him that I saw him that day. Or should I?" She silently thought to herself, "But then again, Hermione's advice did work, and we just lived ours lives like it never even happened..."Ginny sighed and closed her eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Hermione sat at her desk, everything was normal, Harry was off playing some game...and she waited for him to come back like a love-sick puppy as always. Yet she was side tracked, that dream she couldn't explain haunted her day in and day out....did it mean something? Every night, the same dream...Harry well she thought it was him, killed someone...and then she woke up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Dear Ginny, It's been far too long, so I hope this has reached you. I fear something is going to happen, yet I can't explain it... please meet me in Salem, Mass. In the United States...I heard you live around there. It's also for the best, I believe Harry is still upset. And speaking of him, we were wed two years back...beautiful wedding, yes, but sad at the same time...he was still so angry. I'm so sorry you didn't come. I got a letter from Ron awhile back, he's fine. He said he would send you a letter, but he couldn't seem to find you. I hope you come to Salem Square Wednesday at noon.
Friends?,
Hermione Granger, Head of Hogwarts
Dear Hermione,
I wouldn't be sorry that I didn't come to the wedding, I didn't want to...I also think seeing you is bad idea...I'm sorry if that offends you.
No,
Ginny Weasley Head of Nothing
Ginny, Ok, I am not sorry, but please listen to me! Something is going to happen!
Fine be that way,
Hermione Granger At least I have a job!
Hermione, Fine Wednesday at noon.
I will!,
Ginny Weasley I don't need one, Draco is rich enough!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Pt. 3
Ginny walked through Salem, the streets were crowded with visiting witches and wizards who fit right in with the muggles. "You would be surprised at how many people here are actually witches and wizards." Ginny thought to herself. She passed a few visiting witches, laughing over how fake the witch history there was.
"I can't believe that muggles believe this stuff, half the people they caught were muggles."
"It's a shame really, muggles killing their own kind."
"Well now we see muggles trying to be witches...tsk, tsk, they should stick with their own kind."
"I know what you're saying, they think bombs are scary, imagine what they would say if they found out about you-know-who."
"There'd be all kinds of riots...it's a shame really that Harry Potter can't defeat him, he was our last chance."
"Such a handsome boy, I'd hate to see him get killed!"
"Yea, I know, and for once the Chudley Cannons are doing well."
"I wonder why he chose that team."
"We'll never know."
Ginny laughed to herself as she walked by, the Chudley Cannons was one thing she missed about being with her old friends.
****************Flashback****************
"I'm telling you, they'll win!"
"Oh Ron, they'll NEVER win!"
"Will to, Herm."
"Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Harry were seeker?" Harry blushed.
"Ginny, come on, just because I am Harry Potter doesn't mean everyone will want me to be on their team."
"I betcha three sickles you'll be the Chudley Cannon's seeker!"
"Fine, Gin, you've got yourself a deal!" ****************************************
Ginny laughed to herself, "He never did mail me those sickles." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Hermione's head was buried in the visitor's map. "Where is the center???" She said to herself as she looked even closer at the map.
"First off, you're there, and your map is up-side-down."
"Ginny!"Hermione went to hug Ginny, but remembering the letter, she shook her hand.
"Er...nice to see you?"
"Ginny, Its been so long, how are you and..."
"Draco? We're good...married. He doesn't know I am here, of course."
"Of course."Hermione looked at her feet.
"How are things with Harry." Ginny frowned as she said his name.
"Ok, I guess," A tear slid down her cheek,"he's always gone, it gets lonely."
Ginny hugged Hermione, "We shouldn't be in this situation! I can't believe all this came from a silly crush!"
Hermione frowned, "I suppose I should tell you why I wanted you here. Ginny, I've been having these dreams...every night for a long time. Harry, well I think...it's hard to tell he has a hood on. He kills someone, I hear screams and then I wake up."
"Oh my God Hermione! Someone is going to kill Draco! I have a dream as well, I find Draco dying, and I scream, I hear laughing. I bring him to the hospital but there is nothing the doctors can do. He dies, and then I too wake up."
Hermione's face went pale, "Our dreams fit perfectly together."
It started to rain, so Ginny and Hermione went into a near-by café. "Ginny," Hermione began grimly, "I think that you should stay with Draco from now on...don't leave his side."
"Right, thank you Hermione...will you stay with us? I mean until the holidays are over."
"But Harry...and I'm having Lavender and Ron over."
"Hermione, I think the only way to stop these dreams is to forgive each other."
"You're right, I'll send and owl to Ron and Lavender...but are you ready to see Harry again?"
"Let's just say he still owes me for something, and I plan on getting it." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Draco frowned,"Harry Potter?!? I know you were friends, but lets just say we could never be in the same room at the same time."
"Oh Draco, you know I love you...and it's been three years..."
Draco hugged Ginny, "Fine, fine. If it makes you happy."
Ginny thought for a moment, "Draco?"
"Yes, Gin, something wrong?"
"I was wondering if I could...ask you something."
"Anything."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Three years ago...on the train, I saw you and Blaise...kissing, I never said anything because I didn't want to loose you."
Draco embraced Ginny, "Oh my God, Ginny I forgot all about that day, I'm so, so sorry. Let me tell you, after it happened, I hated myself, I wanted to die for what I did, but you...I couldn't because I loved you. I was such an ass, Ginny, I want you to know that."
"Oh, Draco!" Ginny started crying, "Draco, is that why you asked me to leave Hogwarts with you? Is that why you gave me that note?"
"Yes, I wanted to leave everything that hurt you... and me." Ginny and Draco stood there for a long time in each other's arms.
After a bit, Ginny laughed.
"And what is so funny?"
"Well after running from Hogwarts, you'd think they would have taken our wands."
"Hmmm, you're right...maybe that has something to do with him."
"You think he would tell them not to take our wands?"
"You're right, maybe it's only because we were both seventeen at the time...I guess we'll never know." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
A/N: Ok, that's done...boy was that a lot of work...anyway. Chapter three will be up soon, when I, er, think of what's gunna happen. I promise no slash but I can't say I'll keep the relationships the way they are, go with the story. Other people will come back soon, like Fred, George...ect. ect. Hope you liked it, review!!!! Sorry for any errors! And thank you to my amazing and wonderful beta, Morning Starr. Please read her fics!
