(A/N So I just finished chapter 6. I hope you guys like it. Hoppers: Thanks for reviewing I was actually wondering why you hadn't. Anyways since I actually know how I am going to start writing this chapter I better get to it.
Wicked Witch: I totally agree the ending of my other story was rushed. I got tired of writing it but I figured i shouldn't leave people hanging so you know.. Anyway I am glad you like this story. My muse (my coworker) is influencing a lot of this because this whole story is just for out of character for me to write. And you might be right about the people who don't like seeing their heros ridiculed, which is really too bad, because I don't like Harry that much. Oh well. I hope you keep reading.)
I am to excited to start this chapter to do a proper disclaimer. I don't own anything from Harry Potter.
Chapter 7: Politics
Ginny woke up and wondered why she was lying naked next to Draco. Then the events of last night came rushing back to her and she sighed. Well her virginity was gone, she didn't really know if that was a good thing or bad. She sat up carefully, trying not to wake Draco up. Ginny picked up her cloak and wrapped it around her, not bothering to get dressed yet. Ginny reached into her bag and grabbed her diary and started writing in it.
Dear Diary,
It's finally happened I am no longer a girl. I am now a woman, I must say it hurts like hell to become a woman. Damn! I felt like I was being speared to death. I can't believe I just wrote that, out of all the words I could have used, speared? Merlin I hate myself sometime. I don't really know how it happened, I didn't expect it. I'm just thankful my first time wasn't with Potter. Merlin would that suck Quidditch Balls. Oh look Diary I am using all kids of euphemisms today. Which if you think about it is kind of appropriate. Seriously though, why does it have to hurt so much. I'm pretty sure I clawed the shit out of Draco's back. He deserved it though, he was the one causing all that damn pain. I must say once you get past the pain it is rather enjoyable.
Moving on, So Draco was very much in the sharing mood last night. He just started telling me all this stuff about how I was going to do what he always wanted to do, blah, blah, blah. If I didn't know better I would have thought he was trying to get me in bed with him. Haha. Okay seriously I have to stop with that.
"What the hell are you doing?" Draco mumbled. "You stupid quill scratching against that stupid paper is keeping me up."
"Tough." Ginny replied. "I'm writing."
"I know, probably about what a great lover I am." Draco replied smugly, noticing that Ginny hadn't gotten dressed yet, she had just thrown on her cloak.
"Oh yeah." Ginny replied. "Dear Diary Draco is just the most manly man I have ever seen and he chose to sleep with me last night Aren't I lucky?" Ginny said in a mocking voice.
Draco rolled onto his back and stretched. "Tell that diary of yours it woke me up." Draco grumbled as he sat up.
"Oh stop whining." Ginny replied throwing his silk green boxers at him. "If you are so tired go sleep some where else. I have thoughts to record anyway."
"I'm good here for the time being." Draco replied. "Plus I like the view the scenery offers."
"Very funny." Ginny said sarcastically as she tightened her robes around herself.
"It isn't like I haven't seen you anyway." Draco told her smirking.
Ginny glared at him. "Maybe I will go have a nice little talk with Ron." she threatened.
"I already told you, I'm not scared of your brother." Draco said smirking.
"Damn." Ginny replied. "I forgot. Want a sandwich?"
"Sure." Draco replied taking the sandwich she was offering him. "How many of those do you have."
"These are the last ones." Ginny replied as she took a bite out of hers. "You know the house elves, they don't want anyone to starve."
"Well thats good." Draco said. "With all that activity last night I have worked up quite the appetite."
"How long are you going to keep going on about last night?" Ginny asked him.
"Just long enough till you stop blushing every time I mention it." Draco told her.
"I'm not blushing." Ginny defended herself.
Draco reached into his bag and pulled out a small round mirror. He handed it to Ginny.
Ginny looked in the mirror. "Damn you Draco." she replied as she noticed he was right she was blushing. "Leave me be for a couple of seconds. I have to write." With that she put the mirror down and started to write again.
Damn it! I'm blushing. He has me blushing! Why am I blushing??? Why is he able to make me blush. I am always able to control myself and he is making me blush!! Am I embarrassed because of last night? What is it?
Damn if I knew sex was going to change me into some stupid blushing girl I would have steered clear of it forever. Okay, not forever, but for a while longer. Damn damn damn. What the hell?
Ginny shut her diary and placed it on the ground beside her. "I didn't hurt you last night did I?" She asked him.
"No." Draco lied. Truth be told she had some long and sharp nails.
"Good." Ginny replied. "It wouldn't do me any good if I had to listen to you whine about how much pain I put you in."
"Same here." Draco agreed.
"You didn't put me in pain." Ginny lied.
"Sure." Draco replied sarcastically. "Just like you weren't blushing right?"
"Oh shut up." Ginny snapped. "If I had known sleeping with you would have given you this deflated head I wouldn't have."
"Yes you would have." Draco replied smugly.
"How are you so sure?" Ginny asked him.
"I'm an excellent lover." Draco replied a smile playing across his lips. "That and even though you would never admit, you have a thing for me."
"I don't have a thing for you."
"You do." Draco replied. "I can see it in your eyes. They are your biggest tell."
"You don't know what you are talking about." Ginny told him. "Now turn around so I can get dressed."
"I've already seen you naked." Draco argued.
Ginny gave him a harsh look. "Turn around."
"Fine." Draco sighed as he turned around. He listed as Ginny got dressed and when she was done he turned back around.
"Now Ginny, I don't want you to get attached or anything. It was fun while it lasted." Draco started
"Save it Draco." Ginny interrupted him. "We both know I don't need to hear this little speech of yours. I'll see you later."
Ginny crawled out of the alcove pulling her bag behind her. Draco laid back and sighed contently. Last night had been rather good for him. He had never noticed just how small and fragile Ginny looked until she was lying beneath him. Fear had been etched across her face. He knew what she was scared of, rejection. He didn't know how he knew it, he didn't even think she knew it, but she was.
Draco had never thought of Ginny as beautiful before last night. Sure he was in awe of her and thought highly of her, but beautiful, that had never occurred to him. He was afraid he might be falling for her. He didn't know if that would really be so bad, except that he didn't Ginny would or could return any feelings for him. All Draco knew was that she was slowly taking over every thought he had.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where were you last night?" Ron asked Ginny as she entered the common room.
"I fell asleep outside." Ginny replied.
"You weren't with a guy were you?" he asked her rudely.
"Ron listen to what you just asked me." Ginny said laughing. "Now replay it in your head. Sound stupid to you, because it sounded stupid to me." Ginny ran up the stairs to her dorm and ran in. She quickly gathered some clean clothes and then she ran to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Ginny took her time in the shower and emerged half an hour later, the whole bathroom steamed up. She wiped off one of the mirrors and looked at herself. She didn't look any different. She still looked like Ginny. Ginny rolled her eyes at herself in the mirror. She was being ridiculous of course she was still herself all she had done was have sex. It wasn't a big deal, but for some reason Ginny felt like it should be. Other girls talked about their first time like it was the best memory they had. But for Ginny it was just something she had to do. Something she had to experience so that she could get on with her life.
Ginny moved away from the mirror and got dressed. She dried her hair and quickly put on some make up and she was out of the bathroom before all the steam had disappeared. Ginny ran back up to her room and threw her dirty clothes in her hamper before she made her way down to the common room. She was looking for Neville but she couldn't find him.
"Ron, do you know where Neville is?" Ginny asked quietly.
"He might be in the greenhouse. Why?" Ron asked her suspiciously.
"I heard he was really good in herbology and I need some help." Ginny replied smiling at her brother innocently. "Stop worrying."
Ginny left the tower and made her way downstairs and outside. She started looking in the greenhouses and then she saw him. She watched him for a minuted, not sure of what to say to him. After a couple of minutes she threw on a smile and started towards him.
"Hey Neville."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Neville loves me." Ginny told Draco as she climbed into the alcove.
"How did you know I'd be here." Draco asked her.
"Please." Ginny said rolling her eyes. "You are kind of predictable. Anyway. Neville. We spoke today. That boy is really lonely."
"So what, did you tell him you were Evil Ginny and that you were plotting to take over the world?" Draco asked her.
"No of course not." Ginny replied. "We talked about our mutual dislike of Voldermort."
Draco gave her a disbelieving look.
"He just doesn't know that I dislike him for a different reason." Ginny replied shrugging her shoulders. "That's against the point anyway. The point is that he considers me a friend."
"I think we are going about this the wrong way." Draco told her.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked him frowning.
"Why should we take over the wizarding world with force?" Draco asked her. "Why not do it politically?"
"Well we could do that." Ginny replied. "Except do you ever see Fudge stepping down from office?"
"Those are just silly details." Draco said waving his hand. "Think about it though, you already know how to fool everyone."
"So I get out of school and hope to be minister of magic?" Ginny asked him skeptically. "Seems a little far fetched doesn't it?"
"Oh and two students from Hogwarts taking down Voldermort, all his Death Eaters, and controlling the whole wizarding community doesn't?" Draco replied.
"Yeah, true." Ginny agreed. "But public office."
"All you have to do is play the game. Make everyone love you." Draco replied.
Ginny looked at him skeptically. "So where do you fit in? Because I can make everyone love me with out you."
"I'm going to be your winning argument." Draco replied.
Ginny looked at him confused.
"You are going to turn the biggest scariest boy here good." Draco said grinning. "Think about it. Ginny Wesley turned the Slytherin Prince good. People will remember."
"I thought I was suppose to be the brilliant one." Ginny replied smirking.
"Yeah well I know politics." Draco replied.
"So the rest of this year I pretend to turn you nice?" Ginny asked. "What do I do next year when you aren't here?"
"Next year is when you help out all the little creatures."
"You mean the house elves don't you?" Ginny asked him.
"I'm talking about SPEW." Draco replied.
"Merlin no!" Ginny told him a little too loudly. "That means I would have to work with Hermione."
"Except she will be out of school." Draco reminded her. "Someone will have to keep up the fight. And you will actually be able to change their minds."
"How is that." Ginny replied.
"I don't know. You are the brilliant one." Draco smirked at her.
"When did you come up with this whole plan?" Ginny asked him.
"I thought of it when I was younger." Draco replied. "Before I decided to become a Death Eater. Which is another reason you and I need to become public chums. If I'm not going to become a Death Eater I'll need a place to stay."
"Like where? The Burrow." Ginny laughed.
"That exactly where." Draco replied seriously.
"You can't be serious. My family hates you, they seriously think you are scum."
"Wow, your words hurt." Draco said sarcastically. "That's why you have to turn me good. Make your family love me. Don't tell me you can't do it."
"I think you have snapped." Ginny told him. "You want to live with my family. You hate my family."
"True, but I hate being homeless even more." Draco responded. "All you have to do is be seen with me. We will have a couple of public rows and you will tell me that I am just an evil jerk. Then we will make up publicly with me admitting that yes i am a jerk and that without you I will become a horridly mean Death Eater."
"We won't be dating will we?" Ginny asked him disgusted.
"Hell no." Draco replied rolling his eyes. "Just friends. Though we are going to have to tell people I am tutoring you."
"Why is that?" Ginny asked.
"How else are they going to expect us to become friends?" Draco asked her.
"Why can't we just tell the truth, that I'm tutoring you?" Ginny asked him angrily.
"Please." Draco replied smugly. "A Malfoy being tutored by a Weasley. That would never happen."
"Except it is." Ginny snapped at him.
"Yes, but no one would believe it." Draco replied.
"Fine." Ginny said angrily. "I get to be stupid."
"You think that is bad?" Draco asked her. "I get to be nice."
"It isn't that hard to pretend to be nice." Ginny replied. "You might want to practice smiling though."
Ginny got up and started to crawl out of the alcove. "Also, try not to shag anymore girls. Nice people don't shag girls and then never talk to them again." Ginny left the alcove and started her way up to the Great Hall, it was dinner time and she was hungry.
Ginny had a nice talk with Neville earlier. He was so happy that someone had come to find him to talk that he hadn't had a problem opening up to her. Ginny just sat and listened, throwing in her own thoughts every once and a while. She was shocked that Neville could hate someone as fiercely as he hated Voldermort. Hearing him talk about his hate was kind of weird for Ginny. Neville didn't seem like the kind of boy to hate anyone. Yet, he hated Voldermort.
Ginny smiled at Neville as she walked by him in the Great Hall and she went over and sat by Dennis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco was very happy with himself. he was brilliant when it came to certain things. Especially politics. He could make Ginny Minister of Magic, no problem. His biggest challenge was going to be learning how to be nice. The no shagging thing, well that wouldn't last he knew that already. However he decided to give it a try.
