Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Harry Potter or any of it's characters...they
belong to J.K. I only own a set of her books and they don't even have
pictures of Tom Felton playing the gorgeous Draco Malfoy...oh well...I still
have my imagination...

"Draco...why are you doing this to me?" Ginny asked, her tears threatening to overflow her eyes. She refused to give in to him. She refused to cry. She stared at him, the street light giving his face a haunted look. The rain had started only minutes ago in the middle of their argument and showed no signs of letting up. She was cold, soaked, and heartbroken. She just wanted to go home and cry herself to sleep.
"Because we don't belong together Ginny. Look at us. I am a Malfoy...my name commands respect in this world. You are a Weasley and no matter how gorgeous you are...no one is going to let us be together." Draco said all of this with a heart filled with sadness, yes, he had a heart. He was trying to make this easier for her...to make her see that it was impossible. The Dark Lord was dead, thanks to the-boy-who-wouldn't- fucking-die. No matter though because death eaters were still about trying to kill anyone who betrayed the Dark Lord and Draco Malfoy was number one on all their lists. To make things worse, Draco's father was very close to discovering Ginny.
Oh Gods, Ginny. He loved her more than life itself, which is why he was risking his own to make sure she had one of her own. Of course he never told her he loved her... How they came to be is even a surprise to him. What surprised him even more was the fact that she loved him back.
It had started his seventh year. He had been in the middle of eating lunch we he noticed her. He had been glaring at Potter with hatred. Harry had nothing yet everything and Draco had everything yet nothing. He was suddenly aware that half of the Great Hall went quite when Ginevera Weasley walked in. She had a look and she knew it...her long auburn hair, her button nose, her warm brown eyes sparkling with life as she looked around her, not noticing the guys who were noticing her body. And what a body it was. Tall and voluptuous with legs that went on for miles, she was like a fiery goddess. Her outfit had been simple; a black pants and a crotched white tank revealed by an open robe.
But it wasn't her looks that got Draco...not really. It was her smile. So innocent yet alluring. It didn't take long for him to get her alone and when he did, she wasn't afraid. Days afterwards Ginny was missed in the common rooms almost nightly. She was still innocent until the night she graduated from Hogwarts...Draco's decision. Not hers.
"So I am only a trophy to you," Ginny questioned, her brown eyes no longer lit with her old spark, but with a pleading look. "Tell me Draco...I need to know. I need to hear you say it." She didn't say what it was but they both knew it wasn't that he thought her a trophy but that he loved her. She looked at the man she loved, the man she couldn't live without...taking into account his sopping clothes and the water dripping from his non gelled hair because that was the way she loved it. He looked the same only his eyes were guarded, something he never did around her.
Draco took a breath, silently telling Ginny that he loved her and hoped she would eventually understand why he did this. Then he said the words that broke both hearts, that prayed he would never utter them. "You were always just a trophy. A notch in my post and somewhere you knew that. You are a Weasley, you were born to be under a Malfoy and in more ways than one."
Ginny's eyes closed as she bowed her head and finally let the tears spill out. She snapped her head back up and looked at him. She nodded and walked up to him and stood on her tip toes to whisper in his ear, silently crying the whole time. "You are a coward and I know you didn't mean that. You're not cruel to me and never will be because you love me, even if you won't admit it to yourself or me. I forgive you and I love you, always will." She then looked him in the eyes and saw the emotion she had always longed to see and kissed him, not holding back an inch of herself. She gave him everything they had been and could have been in one kiss. And then she walked away...immediately disappearing in the down pour of rain.
"I love you Ginny." Draco whispered softly as he remembered the pained look in her eyes. "And I'm sorry..." he finished as he apperated to his apartment and opened a bottle of Fire Whisky...knowing he had caused her that pain...
Author's Note: So I'm not going to tell you to review cuz I know that get's annoying...I still have more to come...I'm not sure how long I'll make it though. If you would like to read more stories check my profile and I'll have some of my favorite stories listed...you may like them too... Love ya
