A/N: The dividers didn't seem to be working so it's divided by just regular lines. Also, there IS smut in this chapter. If you want to skip it, it's between the s.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song or the characters. Just the plot. Someone told me that Harry seems very OOC, but I don't really care, it's my plot! Besides, I think he's bitter about Sirius and the prophecy and the war and everything, so who wouldn't be violent after that?Chap. 3
I don't mind spending every dayOut on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Ginny had been staying with Draco for a few days and was still wandering about the Manor with a frown on her face and tears in her eyes. Draco decided it was time he tried to cheer her up. One morning at breakfast, Draco left instructions under Ginny's pancakes telling her to meet him on the South Dock at noon.
Draco left early in the morning to prepare for the lunch he had planned. He returned promptly at eleven to begin setting up and to wait for Ginny.
Twelve o'clock rolled around and Ginny found Draco soaking wet, surrounded by now-soggy rose petals, and sitting on a sopping wet blanket next to a lavish meal. All of which was wet, thanks to the rain that had poured down fifteen minutes earlier.
Ginny smiled at the sight, and began chuckling, betraying the sadness in her eyes. "Draco! What a mess you've made! Why didn't you come inside when it began to rain? Or at least cast a shielding spell to keep out the rain? Honestly! You're going to catch a cold out here all wet…"
"Yes, but it was all worth it to finally see a smile on your face. You're so beautiful when you smile, Gin."
"Draco Malfoy! How dare you flirt with me when you are soaking wet and I'm in the middle of a vicious divorce! Shame on you. You deserve to be hexed," Ginny chided, but Draco knew by her ever-growing smile that she felt otherwise.
"I dare to flirt with you because I love you, Ginny Weasley. And," he continued before she could protest, "because it's worth risking a bat-bogey hex to see you smile."
"In that case, I should hex you," she rejoined. "Why are you doing this, Draco?" she asked sadly.
"I told you, because I love you. I have loved you since the first time you came to me. But you've always been with Scarhead and my father would have been furious. Of course, that wouldn't have mattered to me anyway even if I had known back then that I loved you. Unfortunately, it took me until four days ago to realize I truly am in love with you."
As he was saying this, Draco had been slowly moving toward her. With his last sentence still hanging in the air, Draco took Ginny into his arms and tilted her face up so he could kiss her.
Draco was as surprised as Ginny was when she kissed him back and said, "I love you too, Draco Malfoy."
"Well, why don't we take this inside where it isn't quite as… wet."
Ginny just nodded her acquiescence and Draco apparated them inside to her chambers with a single pop.
He backed Ginny up until her knees hit the bed, sending them toppling over. They immediately began to attack each other's lips, her tongue darting in and out of his mouth, his moan reverberating through hers when she bit down on his bottom lip. Draco began to lift her shirt and unclasp her bra as Ginny practically tore his shirt off in frenzied need to feel his bare chest against hers. With one hand kneading her soft breasts the other removed her skirt and knickers with deftness.
Once she was naked, Ginny brought Draco's ear to her mouth, and after briefly nibbling at his lobe, whispered, "You're a bit overdressed, don't you think?" and promptly pushed his pants and green silk boxers down to his ankles.
Draco began to kiss down her throat and chest to her breasts. He paused briefly to suck each nipple to hardness, and continued kissing down her stomach to the peak of her thighs. With one hand still massaging her breasts, Draco began to lick, suck, and gently nibble Ginny's clit while slowly plunging his fingers into her folds. Once he was satisfied with her moaning, Draco slid up her body and placed his shaft at her entrance.
Before he could enter her, Ginny stopped him. "You're sure this isn't just a pity-shag, Draco? You would want this even if I hadn't been crying my eyes out over another man to you for the last three years and especially the last four days?"
"I would never do a pity-shag, Gin. Never. Especially not with you, I know you too well you shag you senseless out of pity."
Draco began to softly sing a muggle song,
"I know where you
hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the
things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye
means nothing at all
Comes back and begs
me to catch her every time she falls.
I've always known in some way that it would come to this, Gin. And I'm happy it has. I love you Ginevra Weasley."
"I love you too, Draconis Lucius Malfoy," Ginny proclaimed with tears running down her cheeks. "Now shag me senseless."
Tap on my window
knock on my door
I want to make you
feel beautiful
I don't mind
spending every day
Out on your corner
in the pouring rain
Look for the girl
with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants
to stay a while
And she will be
loved
And she will be
loved
She will be loved
A few hours later Ginny awoke to the sound of running water. She looked around and saw that the door to the bathroom was ajar. She crawled out of bed and moved toward the door. Inside, a still-naked Draco was lighting a candle and had drawn a bubble bath just waiting for someone to sink into it.
"I was hoping you might join me for a bath, my dear," Draco said with a playful note.
"Why, certainly, good sir. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Your beauty and charm. And the simply fact that I would do anything to please you."
As Ginny sank into the tub, she noticed a small black velvet box floating on a tray along with a bottle of champagne and two slender flutes. Carefully drying her hands, she plucked the box off of its perch and turned to Draco. "What's this?" she asked, a bit taken aback.
"A ring." Draco looked up at Ginny with apprehension in his eyes. "Ginny, will you marry me?"
Ginny just stared at Draco for a minute, her eyes wide and horrified. "Draco Malfoy, you cannot be serious! I haven't even gotten the divorce papers yet! I can't be engaged when I go to court for the divorce hearing! I would get nothing!"
"Oh." Draco looked like he was on the verge of tears. He had the most crestfallen look on his face Ginny had ever seen. "Does this mean that today meant nothing to you? I thought you loved me…"
"I never said it meant nothing! I do love you, Draco. But we're moving way too fast. Maybe I should move out for a bit, just until the divorce is final. Then we can talk about what will happen with us." Ginny climbed out of the tub and dried off. Oblivious to the pained look on Draco's face, she left the bathroom to dress and find an apartment.
"Gin, please stay. Don't leave me…" Draco whispered to nothing, still holding the ring box.
Please don't try so hard to say goodbyePlease don't try so hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye
"I'll wait for you, Gin." Draco promised as Ginny walked out of his door and out of his life for good, or so he thought.
AN: Well, there is only one more chapter after this I'm sorry to say. And it's a very short one. I hand-wrote this entire story on my flights too and from California a few weeks ago. Over the break, if I can get enough motivation and ideas, I MIGHT write a prequel kind of deal. I'm not sure though. Thank you to all of those who have reviewed and thank you to my wonderful beta's Dragonsangel86 and Jen. Check out Dragonsangel's story Dragon and Angel it's awesome! 4th chapter will be out by the weekend.
