Author's note: See...I'm getting better at this. Before I begin I would like to recommend my current favorite Draco/Ginny story Even Heroes Fall by draigonfire, maybe she will update soon....and any work by clandestine one. I feel that there is more but for the life of me I can' remember. I have a long list of favorite stories and authors on my profile...feel free to check it out.
To clear up any confusion, Draco knows Ginny/Ryan is an auror...her modeling is just a cover up for them to use while trying to find out who is trying to bring Voldemort back. The bureau doesn't believe Draco is behind this, but Ginny is there to double check and keep an eye on him.
Now on with the story...to see the disclaimer see chapter one....
July 9, 2012 Malfoy Manor...4:45 p.m.
Draco Malfoy stood looking out over his vast estate from his study windows. It seemed so weird to him. His family home was his. And his alone. Lucius had finally died in the cells of Azkaban only a year before. His mother had been dead since the war had first begun. She was killed by a death eater; Draco knew who really killed his mother. She wasn't a cold woman, like his father. She was strict but loving and stickler for manners. Draco loved her.
Love. One could not associate love without him thinking of Ginny Weasley. She was his love and probably would be for the rest of his life. Once his father had died he had immediately thought of her. He thought they could finally be together. The thought died immediately. He didn't know where she was, what she was doing, who she was married to...
Draco looked at his watch...4:50 p.m. The auror from the bureau was due anytime. He hoped to god she wasn't busted. It wouldn't do to have someone not quite up to Malfoy standards. Knowing Saint Potter, he probably sent over an amateur. Potter, now there was a name to sneer at. He had been on Draco's ass for the past three years for his cooperation. Draco only gave in because he had heard the rumors too, that and Draco figured if he cooperated, he would get a chance to talk to Ginny. Just to see if she was happy. God knows he wasn't.
He was a prominent member of wizard society, but it took him ages to get there. Selling the dark arts stuff to the ministry, using that money for charitable donations, it was all for show. He didn't care, as long as he wasn't associated with dark arts was fine with him, although he had a feeling that was going to have to change for a little while. Especially if he was going to pull this off and get information on the new attempt to bring Voldemort back...Where was that new auror?
At that moment, Ginny Weasley apperated inside Malfoy Manor, she definitely had not planned on being able to arrive inside. How stupid was he? Lowering the wards of his home, anyone could just pop in. Not to mention she just landed in his water fountain...in the middle of his home. Show time, she thought.
"Son of a bitch. Who in their right mind puts a water fountain in the middle of their home?" Ginny asked as she set her suit cases down just outside the fountain and climbed out. Out of nowhere a house elf appeared.
"Oh miss. Jenna is so sorry. You are wet. I will take your suitcases to your room and then get you some towels."
"That's not necessary..."Ginny began before she realized she was talking to dead air. She shivered before she realized someone was watching her. She slowly turned around and glared at the man on the stairs.
Draco heard the loud crash followed by a bunch of cursing. If I had to guess, Draco thought to himself, I would have to say that this new auror has got herself quite a temper. He left the study to see what the ministry considered a top auror.
On his way down, he noticed a slim figured listening to a house elf. Not a bad view from the back, although the red hair was not going to help. He specifically told Potter no redheads. Their tempers were hell, not to mention his past with a certain redhead, although Potter knew nothing about that. As far as he knew...He continued down stairs taking in the blue jeans and the olive green top that showed her shoulders, and the matching high heeled shoes. Definitely American fashions...how could any one walk in those shoes? Just then the redhead turned around, her green eyes fierce. He half expected them to be brown. The woman looked so much like his Ginny. Though not really. This woman was taller, her hair brighter, a thinner face, and a wide nose. She seemed to have an air of sophistication about her.
"Are you out of your mind?" Ginny yelled at the grey eyed man on the stairs. She started walking towards him. "You do not lower your wards for anything? Anyone could just pop into your house. I could have easily enough just knocked on your door. You're supposed to be the son of a deatheater. Surely you knew this?" she questioned as she stood in front of him.
"Miss..."
"Sheraton, "Ginny supplied.
"Miss Sheraton, my wards were not lowered. They have been opened to allow only one auror in for the day. And this is my house and I will run it in whichever way I wish. I am master of the manor after all and it would be good of you to keep that in mind," Draco finished as he looked the girl over, woman really. She was gorgeous, no one could deny that. But not a s gorgeous as his Ginny. No one would ever be, though she did have a biting temper that was somewhat reminiscent of hers, only this woman's was a bit more violent. "You are?" he questioned.
Ginny was fuming, but what the hell..."I am Ryan Sheraton. I was stationed in Los Angeles, California in the United States until I was called here. I worked as an up and coming model over there. I am in a few commercials actually." She said as she flipped her wet hair over her shoulder.
"Apparently you are not an adept wizard or you would have dried yourself off by now," he stated as he lifted an eyebrow.
"Why do I have the feeling we are not going to like each other?" she asked as she walked past him. She stopped and turned around, "Are you going to show me to my rooms or what?" Draco fumed as he walked ahead of her. Apparently she was used to being a pampered princess. Not in my home, he thought grimly."
A/N: So was it good or what...I think you should review, I mean everyone knows it's good for you...lol
