Purus.Flere : I'll give you one hint, Draco as Aladdin , Ginny as a flying carpet but who is his love interest?
dreamycrazygirl: Exactly, but Ginny isn't too good at knowing her own feelings yet.
sophie : thanks for reading and reviewing.
LadyRiddle : There's nothing like being reminded 5 times that this chapter isn't as good as the rest :) just joking , I don't mind. I like constructive criticism , it helps me write a better story . No worries about the 5 reviews , the more the merrier.
Dracoluvr2009 : Thanks for reading and reviewing.
PaperStars : Aw thank you for reading and reviewing.
DracoandGinny : I'm assuming those three reviews were all from you. It kind of gets hard to keep track of all the Draco and Ginny shippers that put them in their nicknames, sorry about the confusion. I found that comment about hacking particularly funny, who would be sad enough to hack into a fan fiction website .
Ah Cinderella , yes that should be a great chapter , however a surprise guest will be making an appearance here. Draco will be the ugly stepsister :)
I'm sorry If anyone who reviewed the last chapter didn't make it on. Fanfiction.net hasn't been updating fast enough and the Login Feature , doesn't work so I can't get into my backup files . So I'll include you in the next chapter.
Reviewing makes me happy.
Ch.8 Blue BloodIn retrospect , Draco Malfoy had only truly apologized twice in his life . Although he had given a great many apologies to his parents they were never sincere.
You might think him to be a cold fish with no feelings , but underneath his rough exterior was a scared young man who craved , desired companionship. This was partially why it was so hard to apologize to anyone. Perhaps no one had given him a good enough reason to or perhaps he never had had anyone to apologize to, except for Professor Snape and now Ginny.
He could remember clearly the first apology he had ever given. It had been the first night of his first year. His father had given him a present earlier , one that would help him locate people who didn't want to be found. That night he had walked in on Snape and Mcgonagall having a conversation about Snape's role ten years earlier.
Draco had known that Professor Snape had been a deatheater, how could he not be. He had visited the manor regularly while Draco was growing up . He had pleasantly conversed with his mother and father over dinner . He had even gone to deatheater meetings . How could he not be working for the cause?
Snape had seen him that night , but they had not talked about it .Draco had been very young , but not stupid.
Before Draco was too leave for Christmas , Snape had asked him to tea in his office. He had not talked about that night , nor what Draco should do.
In parting Snape had said something highly shocking to Draco . Our choices make us what we are , that is why I am me and you are you.
In turn , Draco had said he was sorry, not because he had to , because he chose to.
Snape to Draco was the closest thing he had to a companion . Severus was the one thing that held him back from being what he feared most ; his father.
Draco was pushing all these thoughts in his head , but why had he apologized to Ginny? She had nothing to offer him except a way out of a fairytale. That was the reason and nothing more. Well at least that is what Draco told himself.
The journey by way of the purple light was a great deal longer than it had ever been , perhaps because they had never been in a fairytale so long . It seemed to go on forever until a familiar plop was heard and felt . Draco and Ginny were once again deposited in a heap on the floor. Ginny quickly scampered up and went to go look out the window . They had been gone such a long time , wouldn't her friends and family think it weird for her not to be around. She looked on the grounds , but strangely everything had looked the same on the day they had started the game . It was raining but..... hang on a tick.
" Malfoy get over here." Ginny screeched. Malfoy had strided towards the window anxious to see why she was yelling.
Outside it was raining , but it couldn't be because the rain was suspended in midair . The wind which had been howling earlier had made no noise and was currently remaining in a stationary wind movement. Everything was frozen in time.
" Malfoy we have to get on with this game." said Ginny hurriedly " There is no way we can let all those people live like that forever."
If he'd have been stuck with anyone but a Weasley and perhaps Pansy he would have disagreed. Malfoy actually thought having a little time to oneself was quite a good thing.
Ginny who had been looking at Malfoy with inquiring eyes noticed he was slightly pleased at the thought of people being suspended in time.
" What are you happy about ?" asked Ginny
Malfoy gave her a smirk " I'm just thinking about the boy wonder suspended in time scratching his fat arse." Ginny huffed indignantly.
" Harry does not have a fat arse."
" How would you know Weasley , been looking up his baggy clothes.?" said Draco
" I don't get you , one minute your apologizing , the next your making fun of me."
Ginny shook her head and returned to the game board . Silently pretending like she was studying it.
Malfoy was a bit furious . He had apologized had he not , and she was just throwing that in his face. Much in the same way as Harry Potter had done six years earlier.
Flashback
Draco Malfoy had entered Harry Potters compartment hoping to extend an offer of friendship.
" Is it true, they are saying all down the train that Harry Potter is in this compartment . So its you is it ?"
" Yes." said Harry, who was looking in awe at Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy thought to introduce them. " Oh this is Crabbe and Goyle."
" And my name is Malfoy , Draco Malfoy."
A slight cough erupted out of the red haired boy near the window. Draco turned his head sharply. " Think my name is funny do you ? No need to ask who you are." Now Draco at the time was not feeling particularly charitable towards this boy. " My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair , freckles and more children than they can afford.
Draco turned back to Harry, trying to give him a piece of advice . " You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others , Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."
Draco held out his hand indicating a gesture of friendship towards the bespeckled boy, but he didn't take it.
End flashback
Now a Weasley had done the same thing to him , giving him the back of her hand . Not thinking his apology mattered . He narrowed his eyes in malevolence.
Ginny had been contemplating the enigma that was Draco Malfoy , she came to the conclusion that if he ever would do anything nice, he would always follow it by a period of git-ness . He was doing that now , wasn't he. So Ginny did the only thing there was to do . She apologized for him being mean to her.
" Malfoy , I accept your apology , and I hope you accept mine."
Malfoy was slightly perturbed , she hadn't done anything wrong , in fact , he would be the first to admit he had been a bit of a git himself. Girls are a bit weird.
That ought to put him off balance for the time being. Ginny thought to herself.
Ginny then picked up the dice and rolled , loving every minute of the confused expression on his face.
Her die came out to be a five. The piece moved slowly across the tile. They were still a long way off towards completing the game.
Slowly magical lettering began to cut itself into the wood. Draco who had recovered himself a little stood beside her and read the poem.
But what if royalty does what it must not do.
Who would then choose monarchs
Most certainly not you.
One made of uncivilized opinion
To show the qualities of a dignified minion
An unbiased vault of heaven may see
Blue blood in a castle for thee
It may also show
A gutter made where you shall go
It is therefore not for me to decide
Who can tell a pauper from the princess deep inside .
.
And once again a very confused boy and a slightly less confused girl made their way into another fairytale full of adventure.
Can you guys guess the next fairytale, I bet you can its not that hard .
