Chapter 3

The days flew by, and before she knew it Ginny was facing her wedding day. She woke early and looked to see Draco still slept soundly, sprawled on his back. She sat up and walked over to the window. At movement of the bed Draco's eyes fluttered open, and his eyes followed her.

Her slim figure stood in the light of the window, the light bouncing off her hair, and causing it to look at if they were strands of gold. "She really isn't that bad...," he thought to himself. He got up and walked over to her.

"Morning." He said. "Excited about our big day?" he smirked.

"No, not at all." She said still staring out the window. "Rather sad actually, knowing that I'm being forced to marry a heartless brute." She raised her eyes to him.

"Now, now." He said. "Be nice." He smirked again, and closed the space between them with a few steps. "I am no heartless brute." He leaned over, lightly kissed her on the lips, and turned sharply, and walked out of the room.

Ginny stood stunned, and raised her hand to her lips. She touched them. They felt cold. She then turned, and also left the room, for breakfast.

"No, no, no!" her mind shouted. It was time. She was in her wedding dress, her hair was done up in an elaborate bun, and her make-up was flawless. She'd again been smothered by make-up artists and hair dressers.

"It's really happening." She said to herself. "It's not just a bad dream, it's a real nightmare, come to life." Just then Narcissa poked her head in the room.

"Ready dear?" she said. "Your father is just waiting outside here to escort you." She smiled. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you" Ginny replied, plastering a fake smile onto her face, and then followed her out of the room. Her father stood a bit back, in his best robes. As soon as she saw him her chest tightened, and she felt tears in her eyes. She ran forward and buried him in a tight hug. "Hi Daddy"

"Hey sweetie." He said, returning the hug. "Ready?"

"Yes." She said, grabbing his arm, as they walked out into the music, and the rows of people seated, watching her.

Everyone smiled, and Ginny caught whispers of "she looks beautiful!" and "she sure does clean up nicely". Ahead of her Draco stood, hands in front of him. He wore Black robes with a silver trim, his hair combed back.

She arrived beside him, before she knew it and the minister began to speak. Her mind went blank, and she wouldn't hear anything until he said. "Virginia, do you take Draco to be your husband?"

"I do" She heard herself say, and felt as if her heart was breaking.

"Draco, do you take Virginia as you wife?"

"I do." Ginny felt cold.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife" Draco smiled. "You may now kiss the bride."

"Kiss?" Ginny had no more time to think about it, because his lips closed over hers in a quick deep kiss. Ginny felt dazed. She walked down the aisle again, Draco's arm wrapped tightly around her.

"Smile." He hissed in her ear. Ginny immediately plastered another fake smile onto her face as she passed all of her friend's and family. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw Harry. He stood his arms at his side, his hair stood on end, as usual. His eyes gleamed wet with tears.

He looked at her. She felt herself getting lost in his gaze. "Come dear." Draco said, tightening his grip on her, and pulling her along. "We've got to get to the reception."

It all went by quickly. Ginny tried to talk to Harry, but he just congratulated her, then went on his way. After the dinner was over, it was time to dance. Draco pulled her onto the dance floor and they started swinging slowly to the music. They were soon joined by other couples, and the song changed to a more up-beat tune.

Ginny downed several glasses of wine, jelly shooters, and any other form of alcohol she could get her hands on. She sat in her seat, her head clouded. Soon Draco was leading her back outside to the carriage then to the hotel they were staying in.

He shut the door behind them, locked it and smirked. Ginny sat down on the bed, and looked around. "Are we married now?" she asked slowly. She was obviously drunk.

"Yes." Draco said, taking a seat bedside her. "We are married."

"Oh. Ok." She said, and then looked at him. "You know what? I really didn't want to marry you." She reached out a hand, and ran a long slender finger down his cheek. "But you're kina cute." She giggled. Draco smirked.

"Oh lord." He thought to himself. "This'll be easier then I thought." He leaned over and kissed her. She kissed him back, and then Draco started to unzip the back of her dress....
