Dracos Chicks- Lizzle
Draco was awaken rudely by the sun, he turned trying to escape the light, only to find a red head curled up next to him. A smile crept onto his face as he watched her sleep, breathing deeply. Last night he had done something with Ginny Weasly that he never thought he would do with a gryffindor, something he thought she would regret as soon as she woke up.
Soon, she woke up and yawned, remembering everything she did, and smiled. She was, amazingly, not feeling guilty, nor upset, nor worried.
"Mornin' Red." Draco said slowly, watching her face with anxiety, his face relaxed when she smiled, "I'm gonna go take a shower - we have classes today so we might not see each other for a bit after breakfast...you remember how to get back here on your own?"
He sounded so worried, as if he was afraid if he blinked she'd be gone.
"Of course," she said smiling. "I'm not a baby, remember?"
"Obviously," he smirked (sweetly).
He left her there, curled up in the middle of his bed, staring at his retreating figure.
She then got up, she would have to go to breakfast...after last night...she was...well hungry (she had skipped dinner afterall).
Ginny changed into her robes and sat on the couch, waiting for Draco to come back from changing. While she waited, she played with her new necklace; it meant so much to her, she'd die if she lost it.
He walked back into the room, wearing his hogwarts uniform. She thought he looked quite handsome (and so did he, being arrogant as he was).
"Ms. Weasly, may I escort you to breakfast in the great hall?" he said with an exagerated bow.
"Mr. Draco, I would be delighted," she replied with a curtsy.
They linked arms and walked down the hallway when a worried Hermione nearly ran into Ginny.
"Oh, Ginny! I believe you about Harry! Oh, I believe you!" She said, sobbing.
Ginny looked startled, glancing up at Draco who looked thoroughly uncomfortable.
"What did he do Herms?" Ginny whispered.
"W-well, he told s-some lie about y-you and D-draco, saying that D-draco abused y-you, and I t-told him he w-was lying, and th-then h-he gave me a nasty g-glare and th-then I was sitting in th-the l-library when he c-came and g-grabbed me and t-took me in th-the b-bathroom.."
Even Draco looked appalled at Harry's behavior, Ginny shushed Hermione, "Its okay. Don't worry, if we tell Ron...well he'll hurt him...him and Draco..."
"B-but n-no, Ron will f-find somew-way to th-think that I d-did s-something w-wrong th-that I did!!! I d-don't know wh-what to d-do, and..and.." she burst into tears. Ginny looked up at Draco, and she was extremelly worried; if he'd do this to Hermione just because she didn't believe him, what would he do when he found out Ginny was going to the dance with Draco?
"Well, thats that then. Potter has to die." Draco said with a small sigh, "And I was hoping to avoid all the hassle."
"I'm g-going to g-go to the h-head's d-dorm.. th-thanks for c-caring, g-guys.." she hugged Ginny and walked away. Ginny looked away at the floor nervously.
"He thinks I'm going with him," she whispered. "When I arrive with you, he's going to murder me. And I thought oozy pimples would be hell.."
Draco laughed humoursly, "He won't hurt you or Granger. He's all brave when its just him and someone smaller than him, but once he has a good week in the hospital wing, I don't think he'll even remember this silly little date dispute, do you?"
She said nothing. "Come here," he murmured, and gently put his arms around her waist. "You're going to be fine. I'm your knight in shining armour, remember?" She nodded, looking into his eyes.
"Well, then you have nothing to worry about." He put his hand under her chin and lifted it up, and with the other hand he wiped away her tears.
Draco lead her to the slytherin table, sitting across from Blaise and his 'girlfriend', Brenda. The all exchanged smalltalk, and Ginny was able to ignore the glares she got from a few slytherins, and it was in fact few. Most were frightened of the Malfoy name, and wouldn't dare question his choice in girls...or what they hoped to just be a temporary shag buddy.
When Ron and Harry walked in, Draco excused himself, saying briskly, "Watch Ginny Blaise.".
He strode over to the pair and said quickly, "Potter. Mind if I speak to Weasly alone?"
He was attempting to be as polite as he could, he had to admit, it was rather difficult.
"I don't want to talk to you," Ron sneered. (In the background, Ginny was trying to explain to Blaise that by saying 'Watch Ginny' he didn't mean literally violate her with his stares.)
"Listen, Weasly. Its an emergency, if you care at all about your family or your girlfriend then you'll come talk with me. Its not like I'm asking you to marry me!" Draco snapped.
Ron glowered, "Harry let us alone for a minute."
Harry looked very put out, but did as he was asked, sitting next to Seamus, Dean, and Neville.
"Listen, Weasly, that Potter, he hurt Ginny...and he hurt Granger, I for one, am not going to stand around and let him hurt them. I don't know who you care about more, your sister and girlfriend, or Potter, but if I were you...I'd go with the girls."
"What the hell are you talking about, Malfoy?" Ron asked, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"I'm talking about how the other day I walked in on wonderboy trying to rape your kid sister, and then your girlfriend comes running up sobbing about how he abused her in a bathroom."
"Why should I believe you over my best friend?!"
"Just ask Ginny to see the scars. Just ask. She has fingerprints up and down her arms, she has a big bruise on her stomache that SPELLS won't even work on. She's scared to death over Potter, and then Granger comes running to her today saying she should have believed her, how he abused her because she didn't believe him, and how you would kill her."
"Thats bloody ridiculous! How do I know you didn't hurt them?"
"Why would I go to all the trouble? Besides, look at the fingerprints, use detection spells, truth potions. They will all point to the Pothead. Even you can't be so thick as to not see Ginny looking at him nervously, or notice that Granger isn't here and is avoiding the two of you like the plague."
"I still don't believe you!" He crossed his arms.
"Fine, Weasly. To be honest, I have proof that I wouldn't hurt Ginny in a million years. I asked her to the dance, I bought her a necklace, I'm protecting her, and I'm sharing my room with her so she doesn't kill herself over guilt and shame over bloody Potter! That enough proof for you?"
"She's...staying in you...your...room?" Ron said slowly.
"Yes. She is. Don't go giving me the protective big brother act, Weasel. If you were any kind of wizard you would protect your sister and girlfriend from that pathetic creature who happens to be wasting my precious oxygen. Not protecting them from people they don't want to be protected from right now."
"What do you mean, protecting her from who she doesn't want to be protected from? Has she fallen in 'love' with you?!"
"Who cares! Merlin, Weasly! I am trying to be civil with you, trying to help you, trying to keep your sister and your girlfriend from going insane and being killed, and yet all you ask is if your sister loves me! I sure as hell hope she does after all this bloody hassle!"
Ron studied him for a minute, a scowl never leaving his freckled face, "Fine. I'll talk to Hermione...but if your lying I'll throw you to the squid."
"Oh, I'm so frightened." Draco rolled his eyes, and turned back towards the table, his robes swishing behind him.
"WHAT DRACO MEANT WAS WATCH ME, NOT STARE AT ME! HE MEANT MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE FREAKING STEALS ME OR SOMETHING! NOT STARE AND DROOL! WHY CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?!" he heard Ginny boom at Blaise, who wasn't really listening and was just looking up and down her body.
"Zabini. Gawk at your slut, amd keep your paws off Red." Draco hissed from behind Blaise, causing him to jump a mile.
"Oh! Hey Draco, had a nice chat with Potter's boyfriend?"
"You could say that." Draco drawled, sitting back by Ginny.
Thank the fucking heavens your back. I think Blaise should hook up with Harry or something.
He can't help it, he's nothing more then a dick with legs, he's the only slytherin at this table who isn't dead set against us or totally frightened of me.
Draco and Ginny left the table and went into the hallway, prepared to go their seperate ways. With a kiss on the lips, they went to their classes.
Three days had passed since Draco's confrontation with Ron, and it was the day of the dance. Neither Ginny nor Draco knew what Ron had done, but they had noticed slight changes, like how Ron seemed to sit a bit farther from Harry with every passing day. Draco decided to put it behind him for now, he had to admit, he was actually a bit excited over this silly dance.
Finally, class was over and it was an hour till the dance. Ginny was up in the compartment (which she had permanently moved into) getting her dress on and curling her naturally straight hair. With her dress, hair, and jewelery, this whole 'Red' nickname was soon becomming a reality. (Well it always was, but..yeah.)
Draco had left her alone for the hour, so she could get ready and all. For the strangest reason, she wanted to surprise him. He had gone to the 7th year boys dorm to get ready, changing into his forest green dress robes. It took him a while, but he finally decided to leave his hair down, with out the usualy gel and all. It seemed as if Ginny liked it better that way. He checked his watch, deciding it would be wise to go 'pick up' Ginny right now, he went back to his room, "Ready to go, love?"
She was in the bathroom. "One minute!" she called. She put a curl in place, spun around to check herself, and then waltzed out to show Draco her 'masterpiece.'
He gasped, "Looks like Red was a good name after all...Gin...you look...ravishing!"
She blushed and walked up to him. "Thanks, Draco. You look great! That color suits you perfectly," she laughed. Draco couldn't take his eyes off of her. She really is gorgeous..
"I heard that!" Ginny said in a sing song voice.
"Good then I don't have to repeat it!" He replied playfully, offering her his arm, "Shall we?"
"Oh, we shall!"
Draco paraded Ginny down the hallways, making sure everyone he passed saw her. However, he did not take her straight to the Great Hall.
"Where are we going Draco?"
"Taking the long way."
"Why?"
"So we'll be fashionably late, and they all have to stop and turn when we enter, and admire what a handsome couple we make."
"You say that as if its that obvious."
"I thought it was."
She smiled and blushed a bit, noting how he showed everyone his girlfriend silently.
Finally, 10 minutes after the dance was scheduled to begin, Draco lead her into the hall, everyone stopping and turning to view the latecomers. Draco smirked, arrogantly, as many guys gasped at the sight of Ginny, who he thought looked far better then any of the girls there. Ginny, however, felt just a tad jealous as a few girls (sluts) made moony eyes at Draco.
"Jealous?" he whispered. She smirked and they took their seat (unfortunatly) next to Blaise, Pansy, Hermione and Ron (who couldn't stand sitting alone.)
Soon, after snacking and drinking punch, Draco stood up and asked, in the most elegant fashion, "Would you care to dance?" He took her hand and kissed it. She blushed and said, "I would love to," and curtseyed. They went on to dance just as a very romantic song was on.
Ginny put her arms around Draco's neck, and he put his by her waist as they danced to The Beatle's (Ginny overheard "Oh! I know this song! It's a muggle song! Proffessor put on muggle songs! Ron let's go dance!" an eager Hermione dragged Ron on to the dance floor.)
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Draco really had changed since he met Ginny, and he didn't really know why. Sure, he was still the cynical, badass Malfoy inside, but around her it kind of melted away into a mushy "here, I bought you a pendant for the hell of it" Draco. He was still pondering if this was good.
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
It was hard for Ginny to fathom that she had been going to school with Draco half her life yet never thought of him romantically, yet here she was, slow dancing with him, wearing a pendant he bought for her, going back upstairs to sleep and live in his room, looking into his eyes..
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you
Draco bent down and kissed her on the cheek (Screeches of AWWWWWWW and SHE'S SO LUCKY and Why don't YOU ever kiss me like that?! were heard all around the room.)
Ginny felt her cheeks go warm, she knew that she hadn't been with Draco for all that long, but she felt as if she was truly in love with him, and she hoped that Draco felt the same.
I do, she heard him think.
She grinned up at him, tears threatening to fall, she was loved, she was loved...by Draco Malfoy. He gently brushed a stray tear from her check, neither noticing they were still swaying gently to music unheard by anyone else.
"See," Hermione whispered to Ron, "I told you Harry was lying. I mean, look at how in love they are."
"LOVE?! No! It's just infaturasion."
"One, it's infatuation, and two, you're going to have to come to mends that your little sister is going to grow up and she is going to fall in love, whether you like it or not."
"Yea, okay...but why the hell with a Malfoy?" Ron complained, ignoring the fact that Hermione just corrected him (he hated when she did that...).
Hermione rolled her eyes and continued watching Ginny and Malfoy dance as yet another slow song came on.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would
it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
'What, are they getting these songs straight from- my head or something?' Ginny asked herself. It was as if the 'DJ' knew exactly what songs described Draco and Ginny.
Like a river flows surely to sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Spooky. These songs are muggle songs, and I actually don't want to kill them, Draco smirked. He looked down at Ginny, who suddenly looked worried.
"What's
wrong, Gin?"
"Harry..just..Hermione..is.."
Draco suddenly seemed very alert, "What is it Gin? Tell me. Where is he? Is he hurting Granger?"
"I don't know..but Harry's nowhere to be found..and neither is Hermione, and Ron is..talking to Dumbledore.."
Draco sighed, "Do you want me to go find her?"
"I'll come with you. She is my best friend, after all," she said, feeling brave. If he was hurting her best friend, it then became personal. Ginny was like that, she had learned to think of others before her self in all situations.
Draco placed his arm around Ginny's shoulders protectively.
"Where should we look first?" he asked calmly.
"The lake maybe?" She asked slowly, even if Harry and Hermione weren't there...it would be awfully romantic.
They walked towards the lake with unspoken urgency, Ginny had some trouble thanks to her heels. All seemed quiet...until, "Let me go Harry!"
Draco froze, "Shh.."
"Shut up, Hermione! How could you choose Ron over me?"
"How could I not? He's loads better than you, let me go!"
There was a loud WHACK and Ginny flitched, only imagining how much pain Hermione was in. Ginny felt around for her wand.
"Crap," she whispered, "Our wands!"
"Well people usually don't have to take them to school dances." Draco said, somewhat annoyed, "Go get a teacher or something, looks like Potter and I will have to...dance a little ourselves."
Ginny looked around nervously and started to turn around before she heard Hermione shriek, "GET OFF ME YOU TWAT! STOP DOING THAT!"
Before Draco could stop her, Ginny ran towards Harry and punched him in the nose, taking him by surprise. Hermione was drenched from the lake, the strap of her dress over her shoulder, her hair a mess. She was crying and her makeup was smudged, and her face was horror.
Draco ran in, before Harry could regain his composure. In one swift movement, pulling Harrys arms behind him so the boy couldn't move.
"What's going on out here?" Professor Dumbledor (flanked by Mcgonnagal and Snape) asked, shocked.
"What does it look like?" Draco snapped, trying to keep Harry still.
"It looks like Mr's Potter and Malfoy got into a fight." Snape said, somewhat icily.
"Yea! Malfoy came up and attack-" Harry began but what cut short by a kick in the arse from Draco.
"Potter, here, was attempting to rape Granger." Draco stated.
"Yea, and a few days ago he abused me! He's a freaking rapist!" Ginny shouted, glaring at Harry.
"You fucking bitch!" He tried to slap Ginny, but Draco pushed him into Snape, who caught him and said a cold, "I always had a bad feeling about you, Potter." They took Harry away, and Ginny walked over to Hermione.
"Are you alright?" Hermione managed a nod, and Ginny helped her up. "I'm going to go to the hospital wing.. I don't feel safe around my commonroom anymore.." she said weakly. Ginny hugged her as Hermione walked away.
Draco shifted from foot to foot before smiling, "Good job, Red."
"Thanks..." She smiled shyly.
"Getting kind of late and all, how about we head back to the room?"
Ginny looked at him, she could tell what he wanted, "Mr. Malfoy, are you suggesting something?"
"Only if the reply to my suggestion is a yes."
Draco could hardly contain himself the way to his room. He kept trying to kiss her while they walked (which made Ginny laugh, considering he'd stop and she'd keep walking.) When they finally got to 'their' room, Draco pushed her (gently) against the wall and started kissing her.
Someone's eager.
"I don't know what you're talking... thinking about" He said huskily, as he turned her around, unzipping her dress, causing her to burst out laughing, "You aren't helping anything you know."
"I'm s-sorry" She laughed.
"Sure" He smiled, as he carried her to the bed.
BAD GINNY! ;););) Rofl.
hmm....did they use protection??? Didn't she learn in health class stuff can happen if you don't use protection?!?!
Ginny: (Rolls eyes)
:) Bye!
