The Truth In Words
ImmortalFlick
A/N: By the way: OOTP never happened, I've forgotten if I've said that. In this chapter you get a bit of an insight into Ginny's journal. What's this about Ginny's name not being Virginia? I've been reading the lexicon and that is so strange. Oh well, ignore it, her name is Virginia in this fic and that's that.
Thanks to: Tegan1
ScarletAngel68 - Cool, I was worrying about Draco. Thanks for reviewing!
crudedly - No, she's not THAT way. Thanks, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter Three

Draco
You never replied. Why not? How's your summer? Done anything interesting?
Ginny Weasley

Gin
Don't owl me for a while. I've run into a bit of trouble
Draco

Virginia Weasley's journal
Draco Malfoy called me Gin. Wow. Okay, maybe it was because he was in a rush, but still... wow. I wonder what kind of trouble he's in? Now I know how Hermione must feel, with Harry and Ron getting into all sorts of Death Eatery situations but then I hear she gets involved too. I hope he's okay. Ron is still mad at me for swearing at him, he knows it's not a Gryffindor so he's afraid it's a Slytherin. He's so ridiculous. Well, it is a Slytherin but Draco isn't going to rape me or anything.

Virginia Weasley's journal
Draco still hasn't owled me. School starts in two days. I'm really worried. I asked Hermione what she would do, hypothetically, of course. She's staying here. She just looked at me strangely and asked who. I didn't even get a straight answer from her. Now even Mum wants to know who I've been writing to. Ron told her I'm writing to a gang member. Ever since Bill grew his hair and got his ear pierced Mum's been overly-cautious of any of us following in the same behavior.

Virginia Weasley's journal
The feast just ended and I now have one of the most horrible feelings in my stomach. I saw Draco. He looks terrible. He looks tired, nervous and sick. His hair didn't look half as 'perfect' as it usually does and he was grumpier than usual. Ron picked a fight with him and Draco wasn't as calm and together as he usually is, he went crazy, Blaise was restraining him, looking more surprised than I've ever seen him. I want to talk to him. I'm going to owl him.
(/)
Draco
What's happened? What kind of trouble did you run into? Please talk to me. We can meet some time if you like. You look terrible.
Gin
(/)
Gin
What's happened? A whole fucking lot. I can't tell you all of it. I'm consulting Severus about custody. Of me. Don't tell anyone this. I shouldn't be telling you. I do not look terrible. I've been slightly busy and have less time to spend on my appearance. I thought you would be glad.
Draco
PS. I'll think about it.
(/)
Draco
Your handwriting isn't perfect. That means something. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You look terrible. You look like you haven't slept for weeks. I think you should take some time to SLEEP. Not on your hair, or your clothes, but on your HEALTH. That's what I'm talking about. I think your hair looks better without all that stuff in it. And you look less up-yourself.
Gin
(/)
Gin
I am up-myself, is that a bad thing? No. I can't bloody sleep. Severus has agreed. Lucius will not let me go so easily.
Draco
PS. My hair is everywhere without the stuff, I look like Potter.
(/)
Draco
Believe me, you do NOT look like Harry. You look like a much hotter you.
Are you going to the ministry?
Gin
(/)
Virginia Weasley's Journal
I just wrote to Draco. I told him he looks hot. The bastard will never let it go. I feel so stupid about writing it in the first place. How old am I? It feels like I'm eleven again, sending Harry bad poems. I swear I will never write poetry for Draco. He doesn't deserve it. No one does.
Ron's being a total pain. He won't let it go that:
a) I swore
b) I won't tell him who I'm writing to
He should just learn that I'm not a kid any more.
(/)
Gin
I'm hot am I? High praise coming from Miss "You Look Terrible". I'm beginning to wonder if you're more high and mighty and full of shit than I am. Well, you should know, hot doesn't even half describe it.
Blaise is going to end up marrying your friend. He thinks about nothing else but her. Classes are spent carving her name on desks. It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.
Draco
PS. I will end up at the ministry, Narcissa is getting too old for children.
(/)
Draco
If you're going to talk that way, hot is maybe going a little too far.
What do you mean, too old for children? Do your parents only want you because you're the heir? That's horrible! Draco, do they love you?
Gin
PS. I'm sorry for being so shocked, but you know us poor dirt, family is all we have.
(/)
Gin
What do you expect? We're a rich, pure-blood family with a less than respectable family trade (you know what I'm talking about, so don't go handing this around). There is no love, just power and how you get it. Be glad power isn't so big for you because I think it's going to fuck up my life.
Draco
(/)
Draco
I've always wondered if your family was into that or not. Wow.
You'd be surprised at how big power is for us Weasleys. Not your kind of power, but with seven children we're all vying for the "best". Don't forget, each of siblings before me has done something brilliant.
Bill was head boy, Charlie was prefect and amazing seeker, Percy was head boy and got the highest OWLS, the Twins are great at everything and Gryffindor beaters since their second year, Ron is chess extraordinaire, plus Harry Potter's best friend.
I've got a lot to live up to. Percy and Charlie are the only ones untarnished in the view of our parents, Percy the hard worker and Charlie (who is amazing to be around) Romanian Dragon Tamer.
I tell you a lot, Draco, that I would've never told you before. When you were just Malfoy. When I begun to write to you it was just a matter of my passing. McGonagall made sure we wrote and made sure it was civil. I probably don't have to use this charm any more but I don't want her reading what I write. Now when I write to you it's because I want to. I consider you my friend. Isn't that strange? I mean, you could be passing this around, but I know you won't.
Gin
(/)
Gin
I'm not surprised. You redheads scream competitive.
I could beat your brother at chess any day. And I'm sure your brother, Charlie would be tarnished if your parents knew he was a poof.
At this point I wouldn't risk passing it around, you have far too much material on me. Ginny, I may be a pure-blood bastard, but I don't betray my friends. I suppose I apologize for the letters at the beginning, but you did sound like a bloody airhead.
Draco
PS. Don't be offended by the poof comment.
(/)
Draco
I'm not competitive, I just like to win! I'd like to see you and Ron go head to head (I wonder who'd win?).
I could blackmail you anytime, my friend, anytime at all. You just wait for it.
Gin
PS. What makes you think Charlie is a poof?
(/)
Virginia Weasley's Journal
I do have a lot of material on Draco but I don't know how to blackmail. Maybe I should ask Fred and George. Draco is my friend. Strange. Draco Malfoy is my friend. I don't even talk face to face with him and he knows so much about me, and what I know about him... What is my family going to say?
And what's this about Charlie being a poof? Now I think about it... maybe I should owl him.
I'm beginning to really like Draco. That way. This is not good. Why? Here's a list:
REASONS WHY I SHOULD NOT LIKE DRACO
1) His father is a Death Eater
2) He could be dangerous
3) He's been a bastard to me all these years
4) He called Charlie a poof
5) His name means "Dragon of Bad Faith", that has to be an omen
6) He hangs around with Crabbe and Goyle
7) He's a Malfoy
8) Slytherin
9) He puts a lot of crap in his hair
10) His language is beginning to rub off on me
REASONS WHY I SHOULD ADORE DRACO
1) He's not a Death Eater and doesn't want to be
2) He hasn't hurt me
3) He tells me stuff other people don't (like close stuff)
4) He didn't call Charlie a poof in a bad way and if Charlie really is, now I know
5) I don't care what his name means
6) He hangs around with Blaise Zabini, the love of my best friend's life
7) He's shown me not all Slytherins are evil
8) He's stopped putting all the crap in his hair
9) His language rubbing off on me is not such a bad thing
10) He's hot
11) He's a bastard but in a good way (in a Draco way)
12) His eyes

End of Chapter Three
Is Charlie a poof? Is Ginny going to blackmail Draco? Is there ever going to be a plot? Yes. Just wait for it. It's only the third chapter.
Please review (three reviews is just sad).
