Disclaimer- (depressed sigh) I'm poor and untalented and therefore couldn't have possibly created Harry Potter.
Chapter 6
The story.
In the sudden hush of the room, Harry quickly realised that only Blaise, Ron, Hermione and himself had known about the marriage. Everyone else looked catatonic with shock.
"You're her…you….and…no…married?" Neville stuttered out after a few moments.
"No way!" Lavender exclaimed in blatant disbelief.
"You married her? The king of Slytherin married the ginger pauper from Gryffindor?" Millicent scorned in disgust.
"Shut your mouth!" Draco snarled even as his best friend Blaise yelled "Watch it Bulstrode!"
"I'm not ginger." Ginny pointed out sulkily, pouting. "My hair is auburn." She added firmly.
Draco grinned. "Naturally too."
She smirked and looked at him pointedly. He flushed- he actually went slightly pink. Ha she'd succeeded in making the 'King of Slytherin' blush. She grinned triumphantly.
"She didn't want to marry you though." Harry insisted
"I didn't want to marry her either." Draco said and shared a pointed look with Ginny as he emphasised 'didn't', clearly telling her that his feelings were slightly different now.
"Hang on," Lavender said bringing their attention back to the debate of whether Ron had the right to kill Draco for bedding his sister. "Neither of you wanted to get married? But you are. So what happened? I think you should tell us the whole story."
Draco sighed. It was already the early hours of the morning and he predicted it would be much later when they all left satisfied with the story. Thank God it was Saturday…coz it was gonna be a long night. He began. XXXXX
"…so anyway we had to sleep together before mid-day Sunday or the contract would have been broken." Ginny finished wearily a long time later.
"You realise that everyone's gonna know about this by Monday at the very latest?" Lavender said realistically, knowing she'd have a part in that too.
"Yeah well we couldn't keep it quiet forever." Ginny admitted reasonably.
"Especially now that you're together properly." Hermione agreed.
"What? No they're not! They had to sleep together! They're not together, not like that!" Ron insisted, apparently happy to stay firmly in denial.
Draco rolled his eyes, it was then he noticed the time. "Ok everyone leave! I need to get some sleep. If we really have to, we can continue this tomorrow. But for now-out!" Draco said firmly. Ginny stood, only to be pulled back down by her husband. "Not you."
"Hey I'm not leaving Ginny here with you!" Ron started, making a few of the spectators groan…he wasn't going to start that again was he?
"Relax Weasley; I'm too tired to do anything with Ginny- except sleep." Ushering them out determinedly he closed and then locked the door. It was almost 4am and, contrary to his earlier claim to Ron about his tiredness it was gone 6 when he finally allowed to her and himself to fall into an exhausted sleep. XXXX
Waking up with someone, they both decided the next morning was a very nice experience. Ginny woke up first and replayed the events from last night over in her head. He liked her. More than liked her, she hoped. And she couldn't truthfully say that she didn't like him (or more that like him) too. Though she was wary of admitting anything too blatantly in case she had completely misread the signals and he was just making the best of a bad situation. It was almost mid-day and Draco was still sleeping soundly. She got up and dressed and avoiding all Gryffindor and Slytherin pupils she crept to the kitchen and picked up some lunch for her and her husband…and God that was still really strange to think of. She had a husband. One who was still sleeping when she returned. Turned on his side, looking sweet and peaceful…and so out of character.
She climbed into bed, spooning his body. "Draco? You've got to get up." She kissed his neck softly and he stirred. "Come on wake up." He shook his head with a small moan and she grinned. "Yes, come on- I've got food." She kissed the side of his mouth and he turned his head blindly seeking her lips, looking like a very young pup whose eyes were still closed. She giggled and he rolled onto his back and wrapped his arms around her, but he still kept his eyes tightly shut. He was so damn stubborn. Suddenly she had a slightly naughty idea that she knew would definitely wake him up. But did she have the guts to do it? Glancing down at where the sheet draped over his lower body she grinned. Yes. Yes she did.
It was over an hour later when they sat, almost naked on his bed eating their stolen lunch, that she realised they were having a decent conversation about Quidditch, and that he hadn't once mentioned Harry.
"Cannons? No way. You have such bad taste." Draco laughed.
"At least I'm loyal! The tornado's indeed!" She mocked.
"Shut up brat." he leant forward and kissed her. "Do you want to go anywhere today?"
"I'm quite happy where I am thanks. You?"
"Same. Even though I'd be a lot happier if…" He started undoing the buttons on her shirt.
XXXX
On Monday morning Ginny was woken from her peaceful sleep by a certain someone kissing her neck.
"Draco? Get off!" She swiped weakly at his hands, swatting him away.
"Ginny? Ginny! Giiinnnnnyyyyyyy!" He pleaded in a whiny voice, she grinned, still keeping her eyes closed.
"What?"
"Gin wake up- we have an hour 'till breakfast."
"Then why do I have to wake up?" She questioned, opening one eye testily and glaring at him.
"Coz I can't do what I want to do if you're asleep." He said exasperatedly.
She chuckled and opened her eyes to look at his hopeful expression. She reached for him…after all a wife should tend to her husbands needs…and if he happened to tend to hers at the same time, who was she to complain?
A/N- i know its a bit lemony and a lot of dialogue but what do you think? can you see the story continuing? is there any point in me trying to continue it? thank you very much to all my very nice reviewers and a special one to those who have asked me to keep the story going. i know i made you wait a bit for this one and i apolagize for that. the next one should be done soon.and it should be longer than this too.in answer to the question posed to me by Lanna/Jon4EVA its not shock as much as "Oh my god my baby sister just had sex with my mortal enemy!" kind of reaction. just coz he knows it doesnt mean he has to like it and it doesnt mean he isnt shocked to see it. but thanks for asking a genuine question. so review and let me know what you think.
