Ginny sat across from Malfoy and crossed her arms huffily. He smiled.
"Don't look too upset." He laughed. "It should be a...privilege to even be in my presence, let alone marry me." She didn't say anything, but sent dagger eyes at him. With a jolt the carriage started, and Ginny leaned her head against the window. Draco leaned back and lazily crossed his legs. He studied her. Her face was hidden by a curtain of red hair; she impatiently tucked it behind her ear. He looked down at her body, her slender legs were covered in faded blue jeans, and he could just see some of her milky skin where her tank top just couldn't reach. He looked back up to her face, and saw it was again hidden by her hair. She seemed to have given up the battle of trying to keep it out of her face.
"Why me Malfoy?" she asked, still staring out the window.
"I thought I already told you." He sneered. "Or has your little brain already forgotten?" Ginny turned to face him.
"You and I both know that Pansy and I were not the only two girls to choose from!" Draco looked at her blankly for a moment, before his eyes went back to their usually icy appearance.
"Yes that may be so, but I thought that I should already have relations with them." He said quickly. Ginny stood up.
"You're lying!" she yelled. "Why me? I had a good life! Friends...family...you ruined it!" He sprang to his feet.
"You think I choose you, just to ruin your life?" he laughed coldly.
"Well then why?" she yelled back, tears forming in her eyes. He sprung forward quickly, and seized her by her shoulders.
"Because I choose you!" he said staring into her eyes. Ginny looked right back into his eyes. She held his icy gaze as long as she could before turning her head away from him. Her long hair hung under her, revealing her slender neck. Malfoy had a sudden impulse to kiss it. He pushed the thought out of his head just as quickly as it had entered. He let go of her and she fell to the floor. She sat on the floor of the carriage, not daring to look up at him. He looked down at her, sitting on the floor, her legs folded underneath her. He bent down and gently pulled her up. She looked up at him, a surprised look on her face, but it soon vanished as he dropped her onto her seat, without a second glance.
Ginny leaned her head against the window, and watched the rolling hills of her country-side home turn into long flat roads of closely set houses.
"Where are we going?" she asked, still staring out the window.
"We need to make you look acceptable." He snapped at her. She turned to look at him, with utmost loathing. "Don't look at me." He snarled, and then turned away.
The carriage stopped with a lurch in a part of diagon alley Ginny had never been in. A short, wrinkled, balding man opened the door to the carriage and helped her down. Then once Malfoy was out, the man quickly scurried away, and the carriage was off in the other direction. Malfoy twined his fingers in with hers, and she tried to shake him off, but he only tightened his grip.
"Stop it." He hissed in his ear. "You'll make a scene."
"Then don't touch me!" she said in an angry whisper.
"I have too. You have to act like you love me"
"But I don't, and never will." She replied coldly.
"I can say the same." He responded in an icy voice, as he led her into a clothing shop.
"Oh! Mr. Malfoy! How very nice to see you!" A squat, short woman hurried over to them and shook his hand. "And who is this?" she asked, raising a heavily penciled eyebrow.
"This is Virginia, my fiancé," he said in a near bored voice. "And we're here to purchase new clothes for her"
"Oh!" she squealed, shaking Ginny's hand too. "How very nice it is to meet you." Then grabbed her by her elbow, and pulled her over to a neatly folded pile of robes. "Here." She said stuffing several into her arms. "Go and try theses on, then come on out so we can see how you look."
After hours of trying many different outfits, robes, various cloaks, hats and other accessories, they finally made were able to leave. Malfoy dropped a bag of galleons onto the table, before exciting, with three large bags in hand. He handed them to the same small man who had been with them at the carriage, and continued down the street with his arm wrapped tightly around her waist.
"Where next?" She asked him, looking around her. They were obviously in the rich people's part of diagon alley. Expensive looking jewelry stores, clothing stores, and salons lined the streets. He didn't answer, instead guided her into another shop.
The blue walls met a tiled white floor, and a tall slender witch, in a small pink shirt, and tight black pants hurried over to them, her heels clicking as she went.
"Good Afternoon." She said, from behind a desk. "And what may I do for you today?"
"I believe we have an appointment for Miss Virginia Weasley scheduled." Malfoy said to the witch. She looked at a piece of paper and ran a long finger nail down in.
"Yes, of course." She said. "It'll be a couple of minutes, you may wait there." She gestured to a line of white cushioned chairs. Malfoy nodded.
"Thank you." Then went and sat down, Ginny quickly followed suit. She glanced around the small room. Several closed doors stood on the other side. A black and white painting hung behind her. She turned back to the doors, and saw one open. A very pretty brunette witch stepped out, wearing a short white skirt, and a small black top. She looked at Malfoy, whose eyes traveled down her slender figure. A tall handsome, wizard with brown hair stepped out behind her.
"Yes well I hope to see you again soon Miss Misner." He said." You can just go over to Veronica," he pointed to the witch who was sitting at the desk. "And she will sort out the bill for you."
"Thank you" she said, walking to the desk, and opening her purse.
"You must be Virginia?" he said walking over to them.
"Um...yes" Ginny answered nervously. He smiled warmly.
"No need to be worried," he said. "I'm Anthony" he held out his hand and she shook it. "Now follow me, it's time to get started." She stood, and glanced at Malfoy who also stood.
"I'm going to buy a couple more things; I'll be back when you're done." he said, turning and leaving the shop.
"Alright." Said Anthony, leading her through one of the doors. He told her to sit at the sink and he got to work. He washed, cut, highlighted, and styled her hair for over an hour. He turned her chair to face the mirror. "Do you like it?"
"Oh...yes." Ginny said, shocked. He'd layered it, and the highlights mad her hair appear more vibrant and beautiful. "It's fantastic...thank you!" she smiled broadly.
"I'm happy that your pleased." The door opened and three blond women walked in, carrying and assortment of things in their arms. They slipped off her sloes and socks and put her feet into a large plastic container of water. They pulled up her sleeves, and began to file her nails. Another hour later and her nails, and toes were painted. She'd worn a face mask, then had her make-up re-done. She was amazed when she looked into the mirror.
"Wow...thanks." She said. She stood up. She looked at herself in the full length mirror, barley recognizing herself. Malfoy stepped into the room
"You look beautiful dear." Malfoy said, coming over to her, and wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her neck lightly, and sent a tingle through her body. He smirked slightly when he felt her shiver, and grabbed her hand and they all walked out of the room. As they left Draco flashed a smile at the girls that still stood in the room, and she could hear them whispering behind her, saying things like 'she's so lucky' and 'how did she ever get him?' Ginny touched her neck where he'd kissed it, but quickly dropped her hand when he looked at her.
"Thank you for coming, we hope to see you again soon." The witch at the desk said in a bored voice, as she placed the money that's he given her into the cash register. They walked out silently, his hand in hers.
Once back in the carriage, and it started moving, Ginny sat up abruptly. "Where are we going?" she said franticly. "This isn't the direction of the burrow."
"That's because we're not going back to...the burrow did you call it?" he smirked. "We're going to the manor."
"Why? For how long? My parents will get worried." She said quickly. He laughed coldly, and shook his head.
"Virginia...you need to meet my parents, do you not?"
"I'd rather not." She said. He ignored her, and continued.
"You'll be there until the wedding, and I owled your parents well you were being pampered at my expense" She glared at him.
"You were the one complaining about the way I looked," she said angrily. "Wait...how long until the wedding?" the word wedding made a tight knot form in her stomach.
"A week."
"A week!" she shouted. "A week?"
"Yes...do I have to say it slowly? A w-e-e-k"
"Shut up!" she snarled. "We can't get married in a week!'
"We'll we're going too." He said calmly. "And don't tell me to shut up." He added, before turning to look out the darkening sky.
It was pitch black outside the Malfoy manor when they arrived, the moon and stars seemed not to help at all. She was guided up a short path, to a large wooden door that Ginny could just barely make out. Malfoy knocked sharply on the door three times, and it instantly opened. A small house elf hurried over to them.
"Good evening Master Malfoy...and Miss." It said bowing deeply. "I will go and fetch your parents sir." Then scurried back down the long hall, and appeared five minutes later with a tall, slender women, with gleaming blonde hair. She wore a long black and silver dress, and walked with much grace. At her side stood her husband, a tall man with white-blonde hair, and deep icy eyes. He spoke first.
"Nice to see you again Draco." He said, shaking his hand. "Nice to...meet you Miss Weasley." He said, acting as if he had never seen her before in his life, which was very incorrect. She gave him a look of loathing before saying in the most polite voice she could muster:
"Nice to meet you as well, Mr. Malfoy."
"Ah no...call me Lucoius" he said smirking, the trademark Malfoy smirk.
"And you may call me Narcissa." Said the women, shaking her hand. "Nice to meet you Virginia." She walked over to Draco, and hugged him lightly. "Nice to see you gain Draco."
"Yes...well Virginia and I are very tired....long day, we'll be off to bed." Just then the house elf stood at his feet.
"Sir, and Miss, your bags have been placed in your room." It said, before hurrying off again. They all said goodnight, then Draco, grabbed Ginny by her hand, and led her down the long hall, a long staircase, then down another hall. Ginny stared in wonder at the house. It was absolutely beautiful. The walls were decorated with rich colours, and paintings hung everywhere. Vases of exotic-looking flowers were placed all over.
"Here we are." He said, opening a dark wooden door. Ginny entered and saw she was in a large room, painted with a coppery red. A large bed with red sheets, and white pillows was placed at the far wall, with a dark polished table at each side. A sliding glass door led to a balcony, and two dressers were placed on either side of the door. Another door was across the room, and Ginny walked over and opened it. A large bathroom met her eyes. A circular tub sat in the very middle, with three taps, and a toilet and shower at either ends of the room. A rich yellow colour covered the walls.
"Wow." She muttered, coming back into the room.
"Yes...I suppose this is like paradise compared to wait you're used to living in.," he said, waving his hand around the room. Ginny blushed scarlet. He pulled off his shirt and pants and stood in his boxers. He strode over to one of the dressers, and pulled out a pair of black, silk bottoms.
"What am I going to wear?" she asked him. His lips curled into a smile, and he pointed to a small pink bag on the floor.
"Well you were in the salon, I picked you up some nice sleep wear." He said. Ginny cocked, a suspicious eyebrow, and seized the bag.
"I'm not wearing any of this!" she said, dumping out silk lingerie on the bed.
"Well you're going to." He said. "I still want the perks of being married." Ginny stared at him.
"I am NOT going to sleep with you!" she hissed.
"Well...yes you will actually." He said. "There is no other bed." He smiled. "We'll leave sex till later." She gaped at him, as he climbed into the bed.
"I will not have sex with you." She said, in barely a whisper. Malfoy smirked.
"We'll see." He didn't bother turning away, well Ginny quickly slipped on a red night dress. It had a black lace trim at the neck line, and fell just above her knees. Draco stared at her. The small dress hugged her curves nicely, and her hair hung tousled, around her face. Her chocolate eyes looked down to the floor, as she self-consciously climbed into bed beside him. She turned her back to him.
"Night." She said, closing her eyes, and fell asleep amazingly fast, for how uncomfortable she felt, lying half naked next to him. He however took a long time to even feel sleepy. He turned over and saw that she was now facing him. The moonlight that filtered through the windows illuminated her face beautifully. Her fiery hair was spread over the pillow, and a few strands fell over her face. Her lips were very red, and heart shaped. He reached out and gently pushed away a piece of hair. She stirred slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand, and held his breath. But she only rolled slightly, her body much closer to his now. He could smell the flowery scent coming from her. He turned over, so his back was to her, and fell into an uneasy sleep.
kk so this is the second chapter....sorry it's not that great...but I hope you liked it! I really appreciate reviews! Thanks to everyone who sent them in before! Please review! Thanks!
