It had been a whole week since Draco and Ginny had last seen each other. Draco was mentally kicking himself for saying that he loved her, and blaming her avoidance on that. He was sitting in his parlor drinking tea and reading the Daily Prophet when he heard a tapping on the window. There was an owl with a letter clamped in its beak. Draco relieved the owl of its burden and it took flight. He sat back down in his chair to read it. It was fancy parchment, but short. It read:
Dearest Draco,
I am terribly sorry for not coming to see you. Harry had taken ill and I had to take care of him. This owl is fairly slow, so I don't know when you'll be receiving it. I am coming to visit soon. I miss you terribly.
With all my love,
Ginny
Draco closed the letter and was torn in between wanting to fume or being glad. Ginny stayed to take care of her husband, someone who never cared for her, after Draco had said that he loved her. A likely tale. Draco choose to fume as he drank his tea.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Draco hoped it was Ginny when he opened the door, and trying but failing to keep the scowl off of his face.
"Draco," Ginny breathed, smiling. She practically fell into his arms. He didn't hug her back, however.
"Mrs. Potter," Draco said rather stiffly. Ginny let go of him and looked up at him.
"Draco? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," He said, turning from her and going back to his chair. Ginny stood there in the doorway, tears forming in her eyes. Draco, you're being a bastard. He thought to himself.
"Draco, something's wrong. Please tell me. Is it something I've done?"
"No," He said, looking anywhere but her. "Besides, it doesn't matter. You don't feel the same way as I do obviously."
Tap on my window
Knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
Doesn't matter anymore
"No, Draco. You don't know how I feel at all." Ginny said, coming in and standing next to his chair.
"Oh?" Draco said, finally looking at her.
"Draco…I do…I love you…more than you'll ever know. But I have a duty to my husband, even if he doesn't love me. Don't you understand that?" Ginny said, placing her hand on his shoulder. He shrugged it off and Ginny took a step back, hurt.
"No, I don't understand. Why do you stay with him when he treats you like shit? Why do you do this to yourself?" Draco said, his voice raising.
"I don't know! I just can't leave him, okay?" Ginny said, sobbing. Draco sighed and grabbed her hand, pulling her down onto his lap and hugging her to him.
"Oh, Draco, I don't want to be with him, I don't…I want to be with you forever." Ginny said, sobbing into his shoulder. He was stroking her hair and rubbing her back, saying comforting words to her.
"We'll find a way to work this all out, Ginny. You know you can ALWAYS come to me, no matter what." Draco said, lifting up her tear-streaked face and looking her into the eyes.
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full but my doors' always open
You can come anytime you want
