Summery: Ginny has been abused all her life by her family. What happens when Draco comes to the rescue of his 'Red Bird'? Friendship? Love? Both? Read and find out!
She was curled in a ball on the floor red hair shielding her from view. Soft sobs were heard; she was trying to be quiet. Over-sized worn robes concealing a slim curvy frame.
That's how Virginia Weasley looked when Draco stepped into her compartment on the Hogwarts Express.
"Please Ron. I'm sorry!" Her voice was weak choaked whit tears. "It's not my fault! ... Don't hurt me. P-please." Ginny never looked up instead she curled herself tighter.
Something in Draco snapped. Someone had hurt her. Beat her. The same as Lucius had done to his mother before killing her then dying in the final battle. Kneeling beside her Draco laid a gentle hand on the girls head. "Virginia? Are you ok? I'm not going to hurt you."
Her head snapped up, forest green eyes filled with terror. "I...Malfoy...s- sory."
Ginny was shaking. A nasty bruise was forming around her left eye, blood drying on her lower lip. "I'll leave." Struggling to stand on weak legs she collapsed. Draco caught the red haired angel. Holdin on with a gentle yet firm grip settled into the seat laying Ginny across his lap.
"P-please..."
"It's ok. Nothing will hurt you. You're safe." Cuddling the girl against him, Draco felt Ginny slowly relax, trusting his words. After she had stopped shaking he gently tipped her innocently beautiful face up to his. "Why don't we fix those wounds." Slipping a wand from his pocket and murmuring the words of a healing spell Draco watche the cuts and bruises heal themselves. "There better."
Dipping her head Ginny hid her eyes from view. "Thank you, D-draco."
"No problem, Virginia. Do you want to tell me why he beat you?"
Clenching eyes shut, a single tear slid down her smooth cheek. "They always have."
Don't tell him! He's evil! Her mind screamed.
But he didn't hit me.
That's how Virginia Lace Weasley ended up telling Draco Lucifer Malfoy her life story. About the way her mother and father abused her physically as well a verbally. They'd never loved her and after the Chamber of Secrets the entire family had been convinced that she was nothing more than a whore that had given herself to Voldermort. If she ever stepped one foot out of line one of her brothers or Harry would "put her in her place". That's what had brought on Ron's latest rage. In an effort to stay out of harms way Ginny made perfect grades, above that she excelled far beyond the rest of her classmates. The only encouragement she had was never bring attention to herself. Sadly because of her success Dumbledore had decided that Virginia should be promoted a year and she was given the position of head girl. Ron's girlfriend, Hermione, had been livid about not being head girl. Therefore Ron and Harry were angry with Ginny, and their way of teaching her a lesson was a good beating.
By the end of her story Virginia was crying on Draco's shoulder. The petite form cradled in his arms wracked with sobs. Fisting hands full of her robes Draco restrained the urge to pound the 'Golden Trio' into dust. Who would ever raise their hand to an angel? Suddenly Draco needed to comfort and protect this girl. To wrap himself around her and serve as a shield for all the horriable thing in this world. So he did something Malfoy's don't do. He comforted her. Whispered soothing words. Stroked her hair and let the girl cling to him for dear life.
Once the sobs had quieted Draco tipped Ginny's tear stained face up to his. "Better?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"Of course. Now," He smiled (rare O.o) "Want some good news?"
The red head nodded slowly.
"I'm head boy."
Virginia blinked once. Twice. Before a grin lit her features. "Really?"
"Absolutely."
"Oh! Draco!" Squeezing the boy tightly, "I'm so glad it's not a Gryffindor." She whispered against his chest.
"Virginia?"
"Hmm?"
"Would you...well...would you maybe consider..."
"Consider what?" Vivid green eyes stared up at him.
"Would you like to become friends with some Slytherins?" (HA! You thought he was going to ask her out! HA I say! HA!)
She immediately looked worried. "Won't they hate me?"
"Why would they do that?"
"I'm a Gryffindor."
"And?"
"They hate us!"
"I'm 'they', and it doesn't look as though I hate you."
"I guess not."
"Good! It's settled!" Pulling Virginia to her feet when the train came to a rolling stop and announced it's arrival at Hogsmead, he led her off the train.
End chapter one.
Well what do you think? Is it any good? The real d/g action will start most likely around chapter three. Please review and tell me if there's anything that you want me to add. Now look down the screen and press the little button that says 'Go'.
