Disclaimer: Wee Willie Winky running through the town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown, rapping at the window and crying through the lock. Are all the children in their beds, it's past 8 o'clock. Ummm, I have no idea why I just wrote that, except that it's a pretty nifty nursery rhyme. Always made me giggle as a kid. So anyway, I bet JK says that rhyme to her kids, course I wouldn't know since I'm not JK, which means I don't own anything in this story. Wa-la, my disclaimer. I knew it'd come out of me somehow!
A/N: Thank you to all readers who have kept on reading even after that last horrible and rather icky chapter. I think if you read the next paragraph you'll have a squeal of joy.
Who Opened the Dragon's Heart
Chapter 18
"Oh how I could use a brandy right now," Draco spoke aloud as he gazed into the fireplace in his study. "What in the world is wrong with me? I have feelings for an absolutely amazing girl, so I ask a completely different girl out. I'm in the process of fooling around with a girl and all I can think about is Ginny. I'm in bed with a girl who is perfectly willing to ravish me and I chicken out, all for a girl whom I wouldn't be able to see in public." Draco could still remember that afternoon from two days ago.
"Pansy, we need to stop," Draco growled after 30 minutes of foreplay.
"What? Why?" Pansy asked, completely disheveled by Draco's abrupt stop.
"Pansy, this relationship of ours is a serious one and I don't want anyone to think of you as some common whore," Draco lied. "If they find out that the two of us, um, made love, on the first day that we started seeing each other they would think of you poorly."
Pansy stared across her room for a second. "Oh my God, Draco," she murmured. "You are so unbelievably perfect. I had no idea there was a kind side to you. I kind of like it. It's completely un-Slytherin like."
"I'm only like this for you, darling," Draco choked out, consumed by the nausea of this scene.
"We're going to have a perfect life together, Draco," Pansy spoke as she watched Draco re-dress.
"I'm sure you're absolutely right," Draco replied, thinking otherwise. "Now, unfortunately my parents are waiting for me below. I will see you at Hogwarts." With that Draco left Pansy's room.
"I gave up sex for a Weasel," Draco growled. Ever since he had left Pansy's room his mind had been a constant battle. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Draco was a chicken. He knew he should write to Ginny and tell her about Pansy and his relationship, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't dare to think of how she would react to the news. She would never forgive him for misleading her, but he didn't mislead her. He had no idea that Lucius would force him to create a union with Pansy when he had written to Ginny and given her his gifts. Draco would be dreading the trip back to Hogwarts.

"All right, Gin!" Ron shouted up from the family room. "We're going to be late!"
"I'll be down in a second!" Ginny shouted back from her bedroom. She turned to look in the mirror. Ginny had decided to look nice when she arrived back at Hogwarts, using the spells from the book given by Luna she had done her makeup to fully compliment her skin and had done her hair in the ringlets that she had found in the book. Ginny was ready to wow Draco Malfoy. Ginny took one last look around her bedroom to make sure she had packed everything. She headed out the door, taking one last gaze at the necklace that Ginny hadn't taken off since that very early Christmas morning. Her trunk levitated behind her as she left her room.
"We're running late because you needed to fancy yourself up?" Ron asked with aggravation.
"A girl should always look her best," Ginny answered with a coquettish smile.
"Oh, please," Ron growled. "Save that smile for the gents who want to shag you." Ginny smiled even bigger. "But none of them are, are they?!" Ron demanded.
"There's a strong possibility," Ginny replied, egging Ron on.
"Virginia Jacqueline Weasley!" Ron screamed as he followed Ginny out to the car. "If I see even one male who is not of family relation come near I will hex him to oblivion!"
"Whatever, Ronald," Ginny spoke. "Let's go! You're making us late!"
Ron and Ginny were to meet Harry and Hermione at King's Landing so they could pass through Platform 9 and 3/4 together and snag a compartment on the train. The whole car ride there Ginny had to put up with Ron's rattling on, so she just nodded and said mm-hmm at the right spots. "Oh look, Ron, we're here," Ginny spoke out interrupted Ron. "Now get out of the car so we don't miss the train." Quickly the pair searched for Harry and Hermione and found the two of them.
"You look wonderful, Gin," Hermione spoke as she saw Ginny.
"Thank you," Ginny said, grinning at Ron. "Ron, you better hex Harry, he's near me!"
"She does not look wonderful!" Ron growled. "She looks like some scarlet woman. I'm not going to hex Harry! He's practically family, and besides, he's with Hermione."
"She does not, Ron," Hermione argued. "She looks like a young lady who wants to look her best, and maybe attract a few men." Ron and Hermione kept arguing and so Ginny turned to Harry.
"Did you enjoy Christmas, Harry?" Ginny asked. Harry had gone with Hermione and her parents to Southern Europe.
"Yea, it was real nice," Harry answered. "The Granger's treated me like their own son."
"Well, you are going to be their son real soon, right?" Ginny suggested mischievously.
"Well, maybe," Harry answered, blushing. Noticing the time he interrupted Ron and Mione's argument. "Guys, it's getting a bit late. The train's going to leave soon." The four teenagers found a cart for their luggage and headed for Platform 9 and 3/4. As soon as they crossed the barrier they headed for the train, hopefully a compartment would be empty in the back car, if not then Harry and Hermione would have to use their Head Boy and Girl seniority and kick some younger years out.
While crossing to the train Ginny searched for the silvery hair of Draco Malfoy. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted it and turned to really look at him. Latched onto his arm was none other then Parkinslut. Ginny dismissed it with the flick of her head, Pansy was like a leech and Draco was her victim.
Fortunately the group was able to find an empty compartment and they all settled into it, thankful to be heading back towards their Haven. "I'm going to go search for Luna and Colin," Ginny spoke, leaving the compartment. Things with Colin may have been uncomfortable before they left but he was still Ginny's best friend.
Ginny began walking towards the end of the car, peeking into each cabin for the face of her two friends. She came up to a cabin and peeking in she saw the face of her dragon. Pansy, of course, was still attached to his side, but then again when wasn't she? Ginny decided to "accidentally" overhear the Slytherins' conversation.
"I know Draco told me when he came to my parents' Christmas party," a voice that Ginny remembered as Blaise Zabini's spoke, "but honestly, I didn't believe him. I can't believe you finally got the dragon to commit to you, Pansy."
"You two make such an evil couple," a female voice unknown to Ginny interjected. Couple? Ginny gasped. Pansy and...Draco are a couple? No! It can't be, he's mine! He sent me that letter, he gave me this necklace. Ginny reached up to touch her dragon, right then Draco glanced up to the glass window and his eyes met with Ginny's. Unable to believe what she was hearing she looked into his eyes, stared into them to find out if it was just some cruel joke. But Ginny discovered that it wasn't, in Draco's eyes she could see embarrassment and shame. Embarrassment for what, Draco? Ginny wanted to scream out. Me finding out? Did you think I was blind and deaf? Unable to listen any more or even look at Draco, Ginny fled, running into Colin and Luna.
"Ginny?" Colin spoke after pulling Ginny up off the floor. "Are you ok?"
"Huh?" Ginny asked, her face red with rage, her mind filled with rage and hurt. "Yeah, Colin, I'm fine."
"Gin, you should come sit down." Colin lead Ginny into the compartment and sat her down on the bench. Colin and Luna had gone looking for Ginny and the Trio and had then gone looking for Ginny after finding the compartment.
"Ginny?" Ron exclaimed as he saw the rage on Ginny's face. "What's wrong?"
"Malfoy," Ginny growled out.
"What'd that prick do?" Ron snarled, intent on ripping Malfoy's body into tiny little pieces for doing something to his sister.
Thinking fast, Ginny came up with an excuse for her anger. "Malfoy decided that he didn't need to do the required extra work for the Lying Truth," Ginny lied, venom dripping from each word. "He obviously thought it was beneath him. I now have to do double the assignment so that we don't fall behind."
"Why should you have to do it?" Ron asked. "He's the one who neglected to do it. He was probably too busy fucking that stupid whore of his." Ron's reply stung at Ginny to the core.
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed, "use better language, please."
"Oh come on, Mione," Ron countered. "You know Parkinson is some little whore of his that he uses for his pleasures."
"Yes, but there are better ways of saying it." Hermione argued.
"She's not just some whore anymore," Ginny bit out. "They're a couple."
" 'Bout bloody time. He's been shagging her for the past few years now. It was only a matter of time."
Did you lie about that too, Draco? Ginny screamed in her mind. Were you lying about the whole virginity thing, too? Is your word worth nothing? Oh wait, I forgot you're a Malfoy. You probably lied about everything you said. Boo hoo, my father beat me and my mother. Do as Ron said, go fuck your little whore! Somehow the inner scream-fest did not make Ginny feel any better.
Luna sat down next Ginny, resting her hand on her shoulder. Colin sat down on the other side of Ginny. "Are you sure that was all?" Luna asked in low voice.
Ginny was startled that Luna could come to the assumption that something else was going on. But no one could ever know what had happened between Ginny and Draco, no one could know how much Draco had hurt her so easily. Stupid, gullible Ginny, Ginny scolded herself. Draco's just a blonde Tom Riddle. A different deception, but then aren't all deceptions the same? Ginny reached up to touch the dragon pendant. The pendant was cold against her skin but Ginny refused to take it off, a reminder that Draco was a cold bastard. Remembering that she had yet to answer Luna's question she spoke, "I'm all right, Luna. Malfoy just rankled me is all. I'll be fine once I rip Malfoy to pieces this evening." The thought of having to spend the evening with Draco sent dread and worry. Maybe I can convince McGonagall to let me out of it, Ginny thought.For the rest of the trip back to Hogwarts Ginny faded in and out of paying attention to what her friends were discussing. At first it had been about Christmas gifts, then somehow it had turned to Grindylows, probably because of Luna, and when Ginny next listened in the topic was on Quidditch. Sometime after the discussion of Diricawls, Luna's fault, Ginny had dozed off and was woken by Colin gently shaking her shoulder.
"We're back," Colin said excitedly. Ginny could still see hints of sadness from her rejection and it made her feel even worse. Giving up Colin for Draco had been the worst mistake of her life.
"Colin," Ginny began as she grabbed her stuff, her and Colin were alone in the compartment, "can we spend more time together? I feel like we've barely been around each other this year, which I'm to blame for."
Colin's face lit up. "Gin, I would love for that to happen. Don't blame yourself for our separation, it's particularly because you're taking 7th year Potions and you have that extra stuff that you are required to do with Draco. No wait, it is your fault. You're too damn smart Gin," Colin joked, ruffling her hair slightly. Ginny began to giggle, glad to have Colin as her best friend. "Now, let's go eat! I've missed Hogwarts food!"
zoark zoark zoark zoark
"Ginny, shouldn't you be leaving?" Hermione asked after glancing at the clock. After having dinner Ginny had come back to the common room, unprepared to face Malfoy. It hadn't helped that Draco and Pansy were right in Ginny's eyesight and that every time she had glanced up she saw Pansy's arm attached to Draco and occasionally she would kiss him on the cheek. To make matters worse she was seated near Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil exchanging all the juicy gossip that had arisen during the Holiday Break. They're discussion of Draco and Pansy stood out most in her mind.
"I heard that as soon as Draco had found her he had grabbed at her and dragged her out of the ballroom," Parvati divulged to anyone who would listen.
"Then," Lavender continued, "when other guests had begun walking the halls they found clothes that the two dirty individuals had been wearing." Parvati nodded her confirmation to the unbelieving faces of some listeners. "It was said that no matter where you stood in the mansion you could hear Parkinslut's shrieks of pleasure."
"What?" Ginny asked, being pulled out of her reverie. "Oh, yeah. I probably should." How about no? Ginny suggested to herself. You could always break a bone on your way to the dungeons. Ginny shuddered, true she was trying to stall seeing Malfoy, but the idea of inflicting pain on herself was a little too masochistic for her.
Ginny slowly began her trek down to the dungeons. On the way there she took off the necklace that Draco had given her and slipped it into a pocket of her robe. There was no part of Ginny that wanted to spend the rest of the evening with Draco and so she deliberately walked as slow as she could.
Draco was already in the room as Ginny cautiously opened the door, naturally since Ginny was probably 15 minutes late. I can still turn and run, Ginny reminded herself. No, I'm a Weasley, part of a long line of proud Gryffindors. I am the only female Weasley in ages and I will not be scared off by some cold-hearted, two-faced Slytherin! Ginny lifted her head proudly and placed her wand in the box and walked over to where the books were piled. She picked up one of the books and headed for a cleaned off table that was not near Draco's table. Ginny opened the book and set to work, copying down bits that should be included in the report, often it seemed as if Draco was about to speak but Ginny would silence him with a cough or a sound of disgust. It seemed though, that the hour of Ginny ignoring Draco's presence took it's toll on him and he finally spoke out angrily, "God damn it, Ginny! Can't you at least acknowledge me?"
"I don't see why I should," Ginny answered back slowly. "It's not as if we're on friendly terms, we're just a Slytherin and a Gryffindor being forced to work on an extracurricular potion's assignment together."
"Gin," Draco conveyed, "we both know that's not true."
"Don't call me that!" Ginny screamed. "To me you are Malfoy, to you I am Weasley. Never do we cross the boundaries of that."
"Can't I explain?" Draco asked.
"Explain what?" Ginny asked back. "There's nothing for you to explain."
Draco walked over to where Ginny sat. He stared at her, searching for something. "Where's the necklace I gave you? It looked perfect on you this morning on the train."
"Oh, those were from you? I didn't know. At least I hadn't thanked Colin for gifts that he hadn't sent me," Ginny lied, knowing full well they had been from Draco, as Colin's gift to her had been owled on Christmas.
"You knew damn well they were from me," Draco shot out. "How could you even think that they might have been from Camera-boy."
"Well, they were gifts that you would give to someone who you might be intimate with."
"You and I both know that you're not intimate with Creevey," Draco growled.
"What would it matter if I were?" Ginny spat. "We've been best friends for the past 5 years and it's not as if we told other people that we cared for them." Ginny looked into Draco's eyes and saw anguish fill them.
"Gin..."Draco began.
"Weasley!" Ginny snapped out, correcting him. "My name is Weasley to you, nothing less, nothing more!"
"No!" Draco barked back. "You are Ginny! And at other times you are even Gin! You are not Weasley to me, and you never will be!"
"Ha!" Ginny scoffed. "I bet you got a good laugh when you thought about how gullible I was. To think that you! A Malfoy! Could possibly care for me." Ginny pushed herself off her chair and stood in front of Draco, her hands crossed across her chest. "Tell me, Malfoy. Was she a good enough fuck for you? Or was it nothing special since you'd already fucked her so many times before? I bet she was loose from all her other times that you slipped right in." Ginny paused for a second to breathe. "You must have a hell of a lot of money to spend so much for a girl that you're just playing a trick on. And to think that they were actually special! That you had searched high and low for the perfect gifts for me! Well ya know what? The first trip to Hogsmeade I'm selling those "precious" gifts from you!"
"Ginny," Malfoy broke in. "Please stop and let me explain."
"I don't need an explanation from you!" Ginny shouted out. "I don't want you to come near me, I don't want you to talk to me, I don't want you to touch me! The idea of you coming near me after being with that dirty little whore disgusts me to no end."
"Why do you keep saying that I've had sex with Pansy?" Draco asked.
"Because the whole school has heard about your magical rendezvous!" Ginny shouted out. "It's all anybody is talking about! Hell in one account you and Pansy included a house elf in your dirty libido. It was said that that tramp screamed your name over and over and that she could be heard even in the dungeon! That's why I know you've had sex with Pansy."
"So of course you had to believe every little gossip that was spread?"
"Why not?" Ginny asked. "It's not as if your word means anything to me."
"Why shouldn't it?" Draco demanded.
"'Kissing you felt so right...I want to change completely for you...My opinion of Lucius changed forever," Ginny spoke out, remembering the lies that Draco had fed her.
"My view of Lucius did change!" Malfoy screamed out. "And my feelings for you are still the same. How can you doubt what I told you that easily? I told you things that I had told no other person!"
"How?" Ginny questioned. "That's pretty easy don't you think? It seems that the same day that I opened presents from you, you decided to ask out God damn Pansy Parkinson and then fuck her brains out!" Ginny screamed back.
"I didn't want to ask her out!" Draco revealed. "And I didn't have sex with her! I couldn't with you in my mind. Please believe me!" He begged.
"Because of me you couldn't shag your girlfriend?" Ginny scoffed. "I find that very hard to believe."
"Let me explain, Ginny!" Draco beseeched. "You deserve to know the truth. Let me give it to you!"
Ginny looked at Draco, doubt covering every aspect of her face. "Why should I believe you?"
"You might not," Draco spoke truthfully, "but you should at least hear my version. Right? And if you don't believe me after this then I won't bring it up again."
Curious as to what Draco had come up with as an explanation Ginny was keen to at least hearing it. Ginny nodded her head. "I'll hear what you have to say."
Draco's face lit up. He motioned for her to take a seat on the floor, Ginny stooped down and sat, Draco following and sitting in front of her. "Before I begin. Did you like the presents I sent you?"
Ginny nodded again. "They were rather nice, I didn't even tell my family about them. My mom had seen the presents before I had opened them and I told her they were from Colin." Ginny's mouth twitched as if she were trying to smile. "I couldn't exactly tell her they were from the son of Lucius Malfoy."
"Too right," Draco replied. "I hope your Christmas went well for you." Ginny nodded. "Better than mine I'm sure. I woke up Christmas morning and had breakfast with my mother and Lucius. After I finished, I went to the library to speak with Lucius, he had commanded I meet him there after breakfast. I had been expecting him to talk to me about receiving the Dark Mark. I never suspected that Lucius would order me to align myself with Pansy romantically. When I heard what Lucius was demanding the first thing I thought of was you, truly. I knew that there would be no chance for the two of us with this order. I left with my family to the Parkinson's Christmas party. I saw no reason to postpone the inevitable and I sought Pansy out. I wanted to get it over and done with. I was out of my mind to do what I did next, but Pansy is rather good at the art of seduction. I succumbed to her will, to a point. I couldn't bring myself to actually do that with Pansy. All I could think of was how much this would hurt you, and I didn't want to do that to you. You didn't deserve that pain. I had told you I cared for you, and I do. That's why I sent you those gifts, that's why I couldn't bring myself to hurt you even more. It was one thing to go out with the whore after telling you the things I did, it was quite another to shag her."
Through Draco's confession Ginny had not been able to look at Draco's face, but now she did so and could see the honesty showing abundantly in his eyes. She curled her mouth into half a smile, Draco smiled back in return, causing Ginny's smile to grow. "Thank you," Ginny whispered.
"Thank you for believing me," Draco replied. Snape's voice spoke out and dismissed the teenagers from their room. "Let me walk you to your common room."
"Why?" Ginny asked, her voice full of shock.
"I want to," Draco answered.
"All right..."Ginny responded nervously. The two grabbed their wands and left the dungeon area. While they walked Draco asked Ginny to tell him about her Holiday and Ginny related all that she had done and the presents she had received. Finally they reached the Fat Lady's Portrait and Draco turned to face Ginny.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Gin," Draco whispered as he lightly kissed Ginny's forehead. Stealthily he turned back down the corridor, heading for his own common room, hoping to avoid Filch.
Slowly Ginny turned to tell the Fat Lady the password. As Ginny slipped through the hole, she could have sworn she heard the Fat Lady say something along the lines of, "That Draco Malfoy is quite charming for a Malfoy." But maybe Ginny was just hallucinating from her lack of sleep.
A/N: There, another chapter completed. I hope you all are happy, Draco didn't have sex with the slut. Eh, I don't know what other comments to make. Draco was OOC wasn't he? ::sigh:: But I hope you all liked this chapter anyway. Did Ginny and Draco patch things up too soon?
The winner of the section breaking would be: Masa!! Yay!! I guess the theme was weird sounds, I had certainly never heard them before. If you want to be a winner of the wonderful section break just send in a few sounds that you would enjoy seeing in the middle of the break, any and all suggestions are considered.
If any of you ever want to talk to me, through AIM, just IM Squeaks2005H, I'm usually on thanks to my wonderful cable internet.

Squeaks, your favorite author ::wink, wink::, also known as Rachael, is going to be 18 on July 6th! That's this Tuesday!! And right now it's a very very early Sunday morning, 2 AM. My proofer, also know as my boyfriend, said he will proof it as soon as he can. Which means he's going to take awhile. Just kidding! I'm hoping it'll be out by tomorrow (actually later today, since it's Sunday morning) or even Monday.
