Chapter 5

Ginny again found herself in a carriage, being carried off to who knows where with Draco Malfoy. "Where are we going now?" she asked him, not looking at him, she kept her eyes plastered to the window. Looking at him made her feel uneasy because he would always look right into here eyes, sending a chill down her spine.

"Home…our home" he said. She looked up.

"Our home?" she said blankly. He looked at her, his icy eyes cutting into her.

"What did you expect?" he said. "Did you think you got to go home after the wedding?"

"Well…no…I...umm, well just never..."

I...um...well…umm" he mocked her, smirking "Really Virginia, try to speak in English" She glared at him, and turned back to the window. "Don't turn away from me when I'm speaking to you." He snapped.

"I don't want to speak with you," she snapped back. She looked at him. He sat back in the seat, wearing lavish robes, his hair as always in his eyes. He looked perfect, his face was perfect. Except his eyes. They were so cold, and cruel. He laughed, and moved to sit beside her, she cringed slightly.

"Are you afraid of me Virginia?" he asked, running a finger down her face. "Do you fear me?" he asked, leaning in so close that their noses almost touched. Ginny held her breath, and didn't say anything. He smirked, still not moving. "Do I scare you?" he said in almost a whisper, he obviously knew the answer, and enjoyed torturing her so. She shrank back, he moved with her, she blinked, her chocolaty eyes wide. "Hmm?" he put his hand on her knee, and slid it up her thigh.

"Don't…," she breathed. He smirked.

"Don't what?" he said, then leaned in and kissed her. He pulled away and she gave him a shocked look, her face was pale. She felt so cold, she couldn't move. "Do that….or this?" he said, then leaned forward and kissed her neck. Her skin felt like silk under his lips. She shivered involuntarily. "Do I scare you?"

For the rest of the trip Ginny sat, with her legs pulled to her chest staring out the window. "Why's he so…cruel?" she asked herself, staring out into the dark nigh, all she could see was the faint outline of trees.

"Ah here we are." Draco said, standing. Ginny hadn't even noticed that the carriage had stopped. He took her by the arm and led her outside. The winter night wrapped its icy fingers around her and she shivered. Draco wrapped his arm around his, and led her to the house. It looked almost identical to his parent's house. He led her inside, and said "welcome home" then he shut the door.

"Where are we" she asked him, talking off her shoes and coat.

"Far away from any other homes." He said. "So far, that no one can hear you scream." Ginny stood rooted to the spot and stared at him blankly, turning slightly pale. He laughed. "You scare too easy" he said, then turned and walked up the stairs.

Ginny walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. A fire merrily crackled and she looked around. A bookcase sat nearby, and she grabbed a book. 'Magical mishaps and how to avoid them, by Angelina Carter.'

"Virginia…" Malfoy said, walking into the room about half an hour later. He stopped when he saw her sleeping soundly on the couch, a book open on her stomach. Her picked it up, and put it on the shelf. He easily scooped her up in his arms and carried her to their bed. She stirred slightly in his arms and opened her eyes as he lied her down.

"Hmm" she said sleepily, then closed her eyes again, he was the last thing she saw before she fell back asleep.

The next day, Ginny woke to find the bed empty. She got up, had a shower, got dressed and somehow find the kitchen. Last night she never really got to look at the house, but now she realized just how beautiful it was. Just like the Malfoy Manor, The Walls were covered in rich colours, the floors covered in elaborate rugs and beautiful paintings hung on nearly every wall. A large bay window took up a wall in the parlor; she looked out it and found herself staring at a beautiful lake, and her yard. She sighed. "One room in this house is probably worth as much as my whole houses…my old house anyways," she added bitterly.

"Probably more" A voice came from behind her. Gunny knew who it was, and she turned around and saw Malfoy standing in the doorway. "What?" he said, seeing her angry look. "You brought it up."

"That may be so," she growled at him. "But I never asked for your opinion."

"So who's opinion were you asking?" he said. "The desk or the chair perhaps?" I didn't think that you were quite insane enough so talk to inanimate objects."

"I'm not insane." She snarled. "I-I….was talking to myself. That's all." She said flatly.

"Oh? Talking to yourself? That's much better" he mocked her, putting particular emphasis on 'much.' Ginny didn't say anything, she simply turned and tried to exit the room but Draco wouldn't let her pass. He grabbed her arms and she stiffened. "You know." He said. "We really haven't been acting like a married couple"

"I'm not going to have sex with you Malfoy." She snapped. He just laughed.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Virginia." He said. "I wasn't referring to that, but don't forget that we already have been intimate." Ginny wanted to slap him very much for that last comment, but she couldn't because of the tight grip he had on her. "calm yourself dear" he said, seeing her eyes flash. "I simply make…make an appearance."

"Make an appearance? You make it sound like we're celebrities or something." Ginny said, meeting his cold gaze. He leaned into her face, so close that she could see her reflection in his eyes.

"Hun." He said with a smirk, "When you're a Malfoy, you are a celebrity."
