Over the next few months, Ginny and Draco became very close friends, and of course Harry didn't know about it. Ginny always ran to Draco with her problems, which always seemed to be about Harry. It depressed Draco and made him angry, because he knew that she deserved better than Potter. She deserved him, and he would treat her right, unlike Potter.
"One question, Draco." Blaise said one day, stapling a report.
"If you must," Draco said.
"I must," She said, setting it down in front of him. "We're friends and all, and I know you are a genuinely nice person to your friends, which are all Slytherins, might I add. But to others, you were a complete bastard. What happened to that evil Draco? I mean I love Ginny and all, she's a great gal, but you are incredibly nice to her, for a Weasley and a Gryffindor. Why the change?" She asked. He looked up at her and sighed.
"She's just…special to me…I guess. I don't know. I see her and my heart flutters. She walks into the room and I smile. She touches me and my stomach is filled with butterflies. I don't know what this feeling is…but I don't hate it. What's going on with me?" Draco said, standing up and pacing.
"Well, mate, I'd say you're in love."
"Love? Nonsense…" Draco stopped, and held his breath.
"Well…another thing I need to know though…you can't have been in love when you first introduced us to her…why were you being so nice?" Blaise said. Draco let out the breath he was holding and continued pacing.
"I don't know. I saw her and I…she looked so helpless…I had to be nice…weird for me, isn't it? But I guess it's from Mum…after Dad got sent away, I was allowed to be nice again. Remember sixth and seventh year how different I was?"
"Yeah. You were still a bastard…but not THE bastard." Blaise laughed.
"Yeah…but Ginny is…well…" Draco sat back down in his chair and propped up his feet.
"Yeah, I understand. Well mate, let's hope you can keep yourself in check around her…wouldn't want to go back into Malfoy mode."
"Gee, thanks." Draco said, picking up the report.
"No problem, mate." Blaise smiled and winked, then walked out of his office, leaving Draco to his thoughts.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
"God…why does Potter get her? He doesn't deserve her." Draco said aloud to himself.
"Oh, Malfoy?" Blaise said, walking back into his office.
"Yes, Zabini?"
"A letter has just come for you. From a certain girl that our very own Malfoy loves." Blaise said laughing, handing him the letter and walking back out. Draco opened it and scanned it quickly, then left his office. He apparated immediately over to Ginny's house and walked in without knocking like he always has done.
"Oh, Draco…you came…" Ginny said weakly. She was lying on the ground next to the couch sporting a black eye. Draco rushed to her side and cradled her in his arms.
"Oh, Ginny, what happened?" He said worriedly.
"I was smart-mouthing Harry when he was in a foul mood, which is always a mistake because you know how his temper can get, and he got angry and hit me." She said, tears leaking down her face. Draco wiped them away with his thumb softly, but inside he was angry. How could Potter? Did he have no morals at all? How dare he hit a lady? He would pay.
"He hit you? Why didn't you hex him or something? I know personally about your bat-bogey hex."
"I couldn't. I was so shocked that he actually hit me…I didn't do anything." She said, crying.
"Ginny, it's okay…don't cry. If he ever hurts you again…I'll kill him." Draco said soothingly, then abruptly changing to angry.
"No!" She said, eyes wide.
"No? Sticking up for the man who dared to hit you?" Draco said, angrily.
"Let me deal with it."
"Ginny, I can't stand to see you hurt like this." He said, cupping her face, eyes full of emotion.
"Draco…" Ginny started, but stopped when he bent down and they kissed.
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more…
"Draco…" Ginny pulled away after a few minutes to breath. She softly pushed him off.
"Yes?" He asked, slightly hurt. She winced at the hurt tone in his voice.
"I…I'm married…" She said, blushing with shame.
"I know. But he doesn't deserve you. He treats you like shit. I know he does, because you're always crying about him. Why do you do this to yourself by staying with him?" He asked, trying not to be angry and trying even harder to keep the hurt out of his voice.
"I know…it's just…I can't leave him…he's just going through a tough time right now, that's all." Ginny said.
"Ginny, stop covering up for him." Draco said, unable to keep the anger out of his voice. He picked her up and set her on the couch. He pulled out his wand and mended her black eye in a second.
"Call me if you need me." He said, very hurt now. He walked out of the house and dissapparated.
