Dragon's Den

A/N: Thank you lemonade101, blondegolfer.opps.sorry, andEve Granger for reviewing. I'm just tickled that you like my story! I'm trying to make this story different from my other one; my other (Mid Heaven's Flights) is getting into the angst mode but still has romance in it. It's rather difficult writing two stories at once. So I'll update as soon as possible, usually right after I updated MHF. READ & REVIEW! –B.V

Chapter Two: It's the truth

"WAKE UP!" a voice yelled at six in the morning. "WAKE UP! WE HAVE DRAGONS TO FEED!" Ginny put her pillow over head and groaned into the mattress. "WAKE UP GINNY! WE HAVE GUESTS!" Charlie's voice rang in her ears. He slammed open and slammed shut until Ginny rose. "I'm up, I'm up!" she muttered getting dressed she put her hair in two braids.

She teetered down the stares, "You people need lives," she muttered as she sulked into the kitchen. "Ginny!" she heard three familiar voices say and she got hugs from all three of them. Her eyes peeked open a little and saw the smiling faces of Ron, Hermione, and Harry. "Hi," Ginny said and went into the kitchen.

"Miss Weasley, I do you believe you need this more than I do," Draco said holding her freshly poured cup of coffee. "Thank you," she said in monotone with the 'Hi' she gave Ron, Hermione, and Harry. Her eyes were barely open, and her head felt like it wasn't attached to her neck. Last night the stayed up really late, just Draco and Ginny watching the dragons and their celebration.

Ginny was convinced that the scene of dragons was the most beautiful thing that the magical world had given them. She stayed up all night watching dragons, and talking to Draco about basically everything. They were only two out there, till three in the morning. She gulped down the coffee and sighed, "Who's here Charlie?" she asked in a dazed voice not remembering who she got the hugs from. Even that, Charlie wasn't even in the room.

"Miss Weasley, your friends. I believe the two Potters and your older brother," Draco chuckled pouring another cup of coffee for himself. Ginny's head went down to the table and she groaned. Draco patted her shoulder, "I guess, you can't stay up that late and just have three hours of sleep. But Miss Weasley, do look at least remotely alive. Your friends have traveled a long way to see you and Charlie."

Ginny pushed the coffee cup toward him and he laughed, "Come in, I do believe she's in there some where." He refilled her cup and she sat there drinking the next cup down, "I'm going to have to pee after this," she mumbled sitting her head back down again. Draco went into the cabinets and pulled out jars of little tablets of different colors each had a label on top of the lid.

"So exactly who are you?" Ron asked his eyebrow raised. Draco smiled and held out his hand Ron shook it still staring at Draco. "Think, who was the one person who hate?" Draco stated still smiling, he looked through the jars. "Miss Weasley, I can't find the lethargy tablets, maybe they're in this box," he said almost talking to himself.

Ron still had his eyebrow cocked looking at the "Mystery Man" he just couldn't figure out who it was, nor could Ron and Hermione. The mystery man found the tablets and looked pleased with finding the tablets, "Lets see Miss Weasley, how do you feel?" Draco asked. "Like shit," Ginny mumbled sitting back her eyes still closed. Draco laughed, "Here take two."

Ginny popped them in the mouth and they easily disappeared in seconds. "Thanks Dray," she said a little more awake. "The Golden Trio" could of fainted right there and then. "MALFOY!" Ron roared standing up pointing his wand at Draco. Draco smiled putting the away the box, "Wow, it sure did you take you along time."

"What the hell are you doing here Malfoy?" Ron shouted as Charlie ran into the kitchen and tried to pull Ron in the direction so he couldn't lunge at Malfoy and kill him. "Miss Weasley, are you doing okay?" he asked leaning down to see her, his blonde hair fell into his face. "Better, I need sleep though," Ginny answered.

"DON'T GET NEAR MY SISTER!" Ron howled on top of his lungs. Draco cocked his head to the side, "Don't listen to him, he's a crazed lunatic," Ginny mumbled trying to get up and then fell back down. "Are you sure those tablets were meant to do this? They're just making me sleepy," Ginny yawned. Draco sighed, "Wrong box must be." He picked up Ginny, and she wrapper her arms and legs around him. She rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.

"YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT MALFOY!" Ron snarled as Charlie pinned him to the floor. "What ze ole comoton?" Lavache asked coming down the stairs. Draco shrugged and put Ginny in her bed. She looked like an angel; Draco played with her braids and smiled softly. He remembered how radiant and lively she looked last night; the flashes that came across her face made her beauty really shine.

Draco heard the thundering of Ron's voice all the way downstairs, he took one of Ginny's hair bands and tied his hair back in a low ponytail. He'd lost his hair band yesterday, and was in no sight. "I hope you don't mind," he whispered and went down stares. "He works for me, he's a really nice guy Ron, he really has changed," Charlie panted trying to keep Ron back from throttling Draco.

"I'm going to go tend to the Dragons, Charlie don't hurt yourself if he wants to attempt to beat the shit out of me. Let it be. I'll see you bother later, Harry, Mrs. Potter," Draco said calmly taking the last gulp of his coffee. He walked out the door right up to a dragon and patted it; he quickly jumped up to reach the leash. Taking the large leash he took the dragon to another place.

"You let that self conceited git in the house with Ginny?" Ron baffled throwing his arms out. "Draco is 'ery nice, I dunno vat your 'oblem is," Lavache making her own breakfast. Charlie popped Ron in the back of the head and barked, "There's living proof that he's changed, you're such an air head. Can't you tell? He's working under ME! Ron, ME! That has to tell you something!" Ron looked over at Harry, who was still suffering from shock. "That was Draco Malfoy?" Charlie put his hands up and walked away, he was too peeved to handle this.

…Lunch…

As the people rolled in, and Ginny was finally awake, the fact that Draco Malfoy was working under Charlie and was a decent man wouldn't absorb into Ron's head. "Are you sure you're Draco Malfoy? I mean you could be some freak that abducted Draco Malfoy," Harry asked eyeing Draco. Draco spit out his soup laughing at this, "DRACO!" Blaise Zabini yelled wiping the soup off his face. This made Draco laugh even harder, he had to stand over the sink. "Damnit Draco, I didn't need a shower," Blaise mumbled whipping him with a towel. "You crack me up Potter, who the hell else would carry out the name Draco Malfoy?" Draco said pouring his soup down the sink.

Harry crossed his arms, "Your father says that you disappeared and canceled a search for you saying it was no use that he thought you were dead, the wizarding world believed your father and we gave it up." Draco shrugged eating the sandwich instead of the soup, "I was dismembered, and I'm not longer part of Malfoy family. I'm deceased to them," he said simply unfazed by this.

"So they just said, 'We don't want you any more.' And let you go?" Hermione asked taking a bite of her food. Draco shrugged; he looked over at Ginny who was sitting there listening to every word.

He rubbed his nape, "Well it was more complicated. It was more of a unanimous vote. I'm paid to keep quiet from now on. You see I was a top spy for Dumbledore. My family found that out they got they're knickers in a not and booted me out, of course my Aunt Andromeda was thrilled. She was about the only one, lovely lady. I got along nicely with her daughter, Tonks… that's what she wanted me to call her. When I was wounded, she took me in and cured me up, I moved here about a year or two later," he informed smiling slightly with mention of his Aunt and Tonks.

"We know Tonks," Harry said, "Does she still have that wild hair?" Draco nodded laughing, "I was trying to convince her to change it to black, but she almost burst a vessel. I don't think I've ever heard a woman yell that loud remarking that she didn't want to look like her evil Aunt Bellatrix."

There was a silence in the room when Draco said the name Bellatrix, Draco forgot. Bellatrix Black Lestrange killed Sirius Black, Harry's god father. He wished he wouldn't have said that. He groaned and drawled out, "I apologize for Sirius- Harry I never met my cousin. But I heard all the stories from Andromeda; he sounded like a great guy to be around."

"Sirius is your cousin?" Ginny asked a little confused with the family tree of the Malfoys and Blacks. Draco sat down and nodded, "Second cousin, he's cousins with my "mum." Meaning in some freakish way, Potter and I distantly related." It was like a history lesson, Draco explaining his family tree.

"It's not much of a tree, more like a stump really. A stump of inbreeds, I don't wish to continue that. I find it rather disgusting, to marry your cousin and how ever your related to that person. It's always sickened me," Draco taking a gulp of his beer.

"So you don't have this irrational hate of muggleborns?" Hermione asked hotly, Draco smiled, "Nay, how would the families grow if we didn't have different blood? The child grows with deformities if the blood is too much of the same." Hermione looked pleased at this.

Ginny couldn't place in her mind how much Draco had changed, yes she had talked to him last night about things but he didn't share that bit of information with her. She smiled thinking, 'He really is a gentleman now.' It was amazing how much he'd grown since she last saw him. "Why the sudden change?" Harry persisted. Draco sighed, he chest rose and fell, "Time in Azkaban changes a person."
