Chapter 6- Can't Take it Anymore

Draco walked around the corner and whispered. "Red Love." To the portrait that was in front of him.

He carried her to the bed where he set her down gently. "Here," he said as he walked over to a dresser, he pulled out a black shirt and handed it to her.

"Thanks" she said looking down at the floor.

He turned his back to her so that she could pull the shirt over her head. When she was done he sat down on the bed.

"Ginny, it's okay, I don't blame you." Draco said looking at her.

"I blame myself." she replied in a soft whisper.

"Pleases don't, it's not your fault." he said as he lifted her chin, so that she could look at him.

Their eyes locked, and nothing mattered anymore. "Thank you," She said in a low whisper.

"For what?" he replied in the same tone.

She closed her eyes for a second and opened them again. "Saving me." she said and a small smile played on her lips.

"I'd do anything for you." He replied.

Ginny's mouth went dry at his words. 'Does that mean he loves me?' she asked her self. 'More then a friend?' he was confusing her, and she didn't know what to do.

"Anything?" she asked searching his face, to make sure that he wasn't lying to her.

"Anything," he replied strongly.

She kept searching his face until she found nothing but honesty. "Draco..." she whispered. "...make love to me." she said even quieter.

Draco couldn't believe his ears. 'Did she just ask me that or am I imagining things?' he asked himself. "What?" he asked her softly. "Did I hear you correctly?"

"Yes, yes you did." she replied, her cheeks turned a soft pink.

"But Gin—"

"No, please, I just want to know...that it doesn't have to..." her voice once again went to a whisper "...be...like that." She said as her eyes dropped to her lap.

"It shouldn't be like it happened for you, it's a lot better if you truly want it." he said, begging her with his eyes to look at him.

"Will you?" she asked, again.

"I can't—"

"Please, for me." she said as she looked back up at him.

"Ginny you went though a lot. I would feel wrong doing this to you now." He said with sorrow in his eyes.

"Draco I want you to. I don't want to feel like; I'm some horrible monster that no one wants." she replied sadly.

"Ginny you're not a horrible monster." he assured her.

"Look Draco, I trust you, and I want you to." She tried once more. With out giving him a chance to reply she covered his lips with hers.

Draco didn't know what to do; he was torn between two things, doing something he wanted, and knew that she wanted, but also saying no, because he didn't want her to feel like he used her too.

"Ginny—"

Once again Ginny cut him off. "Please Draco." She breathed against his lips, and with that, he kissed her.

"Stop me if you can't, anytime, no questions asked." He whispered to her. She gave a quick nod and kissed him again.

Draco took everything slowly, he first kissed her, little baby kisses, then he asked for entrance, and he was granted entrance.

After a while he leaned her back, so she was on her back and he was on top of her. He kissed down her neck, to the beginning of her shirt. He sat between her legs and looked at her, to make sure that this is what she wanted.

She gave him a quick reassurance nod and he, pulled her up so that she was sitting in front of him, and him still sitting between her legs.

He pulled her shirt off, only to revile her ripped one, and that's where he froze there is no way he could do this. "I can't—"he tried to say but she removed her ripped shirt and was left in nothing but her skirt.

"For me." she said as she eased herself back on the bed.

He admired her for a second, making her shiver under his gaze, he made her feel beautiful with just the way his eyes looked at her, ever emotion evident as he felt them, there was no mask there anymore, he let her see, but what she saw she wasn't sure. The way his eyes traveled over her body, with his gently touches.

He leaned back over her and started to kiss down her neck, making her moan when he reached her left breast. He paid equal attention to both of her breast and, then continued to rain her with kisses down her torso.

He kept checking if she was okay with this, so that he wouldn't make her regret it. "Draco" She moaned as he kissed her torso.

She was enjoying this, a lot, it wasn't like all the other times, it made her feel good, and beautiful.

Draco pulled his shirt of and kissed her again. Ginny's hands ran up to his naked chest. Her hands ran down his chest, to his torso, and then the beginning of his pants, she undid them and he slipped out of them, only leaving him in dark green silk boxers.

He then started on her skirt, always making sure that she was okay. When her skirt and panties where off, he admired every curve, every freckle, every rise of her body from her ragged breath. Every time he looked at her like that she couldn't help but feel beautiful.

He let his gray eyes wonder her body, trying to remember itch every inch of her body into his mind.

Her hands came up to the band of his boxers and she helped him out of them, now they where both naked, both admiring the other.

"Are you sure?" he asked once more. He received a small nod in responds to his question.

"Are you ready?" he asked the last time.

"God yes, you're killing me." she said with a small smile on her lips.

He smiled back at her and spread her legs, and settled between them. He gave her one last glance to make sure, that she was fine, when he received a full-size grin he eased himself into her.

With every inch deeper he went, he received a pleasurable gasp from her. Once he was inside of her, she moaned his name.

As grey and brown met, they both knew that they needed each other to live, but neither spoke the words.

Draco slowly thrust into her, to make her comfortable to him.

As they both reached their climax they screamed each others names and Draco collapsed on top of Ginny, still breathing heavenly.

She gave him a big smile and brushed her lips against his. "Thank you." She said as her sweaty body gave one last shudder of pleasure.

He eased himself out of her and lay next to her, with her curled up next to him. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, he wanted her to know that he would do anything

for her, but every time he tried he couldn't do it.

"Professor that's not fair, you can't just make her forget what happened, she'll feel empty, and it's too much of her life to be erased." Hermione complained.

"I know Miss Granger, I know. I've tried my best, but the Ministry won't allow it, they want her to forget." Dumbledore said as he looked around his office at the dull faces.

"The only thing we can do is, make her memory strong, so that when they give her the potion, it will only last for about six hours." Dumbledore explained.

"How can we do that?" Charlie asked.

"We'll need to build up memories, that she can't forget, happy memories." Dumbledore answered.

"What if it back fires?" Edina asked.

"That is something we will have to risk." he answered her calmly.

"And what will happen if it back fires?" Edina asked once more, her eyes glued to the floor.

"Then, we will need some one that loves, Miss Weasley very much, someone that would die for her." Dumbledore said as he looked at Harry and then to Edina. He shook his head in disappointment.

"I'll do it." Ron said.

"I'm sorry Mr. Weasley but that's not the love we need."

"What about me?" Edina asked looking up at the professor.

"I'm afraid not." Dumbledore said as he glanced at Hermione.

Hermione looked back at him, knowing what he wanted from her. She exited the room and left the meeting.

------

She walked back down to the dungeons and to the room Draco said they would be in.

She stopped in front of it, and took in a deep shaky breath. "Red Love." She whispered and the door opened, reviling a sleeping Ginny, and a Draco who seamed to be fighting a battled inside of him.

"Malfoy" Hermione whispered.

He turned his head, to look at her. "We need to talk." She said as she motioned for him to come out of the room.

Draco nodded and took one last glance at the sleeping beauty.

"What do we need to talk about Granger?" he asked, as he closed the door.

"Do you love her?" she asked coming straight to the point.

"What? What makes you think that?" he asked.

"Nothing, I just need to know." She replied.

"Why?"

"Because they are going to give her a forgetting potion, and if it back fires we need some one that would die for her, some one that loves her that much, to help her get back to us." Hermione said as a silent tear ran down her cheek.

"Malfoy's don't love." He replied softly but coldly.

Hermione gave one nod, and left with more tears running down her cheeks.

"But, I'm not a Malfoy, I'm a Black." He added to himself.

The door opened and out stepped, the sleeping beauty. She gave him a fake smile and walked away.

Just like Hermione, Ginny started to form her own tears, but for a different reason. 'Ginny how did you get you're self into this?' she asked as her legs gave up and she dropped down to the floor. She propped herself up against a wall and the tears fell like a waterfall.

Ginny sat there crying, not knowing what to do, how did she get herself into this mess? She should have never asked him to make love to her, but no she couldn't get it out of her head. He was so gentle with her, that she felt like he loved her for the time being.

"Good going Gin." She said to herself as she wiped some tears.

"Ginny?" came a voice just around the corner, and seconds later a blood shot Hermione walked over to Ginny.

"Oh hey Mione." Ginny said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Ohh... I don't know where to start." She said as Hermione settled herself next to her.

"From the beginning." Hermione said with a small smile touching her lips.

"Well, after he brought me to that room...I...we...hadsex." Ginny said hoping her friend didn't hear her correctly.

"What!" She yelled, telling Ginny that she did hear her very well.

"I asked him to, because, I wanted to know what it really felt like. You know after the whole thing with that bastard you don't really feel anything...anyways, the whole time...he...he was so gentle that I thought I would die from it." Ginny said as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. "I think I'm in love." She replied as she tried to stop the tears from falling.

Hermione threw her arms around her red head friend, and hugged her close. "Oh Gin, I'm so sorry." She said as she remembered her talk earlier with Draco.

"Why, does it have to hurt?" Ginny asked as she hugged her friend back.

"It just does." Hermione replied and gave her friend a kiss on the cheek to reassure her that it would be okay.

"Oh, you're so lucky, with having Ron." Ginny said as she leaned her head against Hermione's.

"Hey, how about we go to that party tonight?" Hermione asked, wanting to cheer her friend up. "Just you me and Edina, a girls night out." She added with a smile on her lips.

"I dunno..."

"Oh come on, a day with out thinking could do us all good."

"Alright." Ginny said smiling. They sat there in silence a few more minutes. When they got back to their tower they made their way to Ginny's room where Edina was waiting for them.

"Come on Edi," Ginny said as she jumped on her bed, and pulled her friend up on it. "We'll have lots of FUN!" she yelled.

Something shot though her body, and mind, so she ran from the room, with Hermione and Edina hot on her trail.

Minutes later Ginny was out side spinning in soft slow circles as the rain fell on her. "NO MORE THINKING! JUST FUN!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

Draco who was up in the Astronomy tower, thinking about what had happened with him and Ginny, and why he just couldn't tell her how he felt about her, and just then she ran out into the rain lifted her head and arms and spun in circles with her eyes closed.

"Ginny have you gone nutters?" Edina yelled at her friend.

"NOPE!" she said as she sped up her circles. "Come on join me!" she yelled to them.

All that time he watched her enjoying herself, and the way she looked beautiful spinning under the rain, letting it wash her.

Soon Edina and Hermione joined her. He smiled to himself as she continued to watch them.

"Let's go back-Back to the beginning-Back to when the earth,-the sun, the stars all aligned-Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect-Tryin' to fit a square into a circle-
Was no life I define"

"Let the rain fall down-And wake my dreams-Let it wash away my sanity-Cause I wanna feel the thunder-I wanna scream let the rain fall down-I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean, oh" she sang out loud still spinning in her circles.

When she couldn't take it anymore she dropped to the ground and lay there like and angel, who was just dropped from heaven to help someone.

"Ginny you're crazy." Edina said as she dropped down next to her.

"Yep, that I am my friend, CRAZY IN LOVE!" she yelled and they all lashed out in fits of giggles.

The word love rang in his head as she listened to them giggling. 'She was in love? With who?' he thought to himself.

'Not Potter, Thomas, Blaise,' he checked name after name off. 'Who is he?' he wondered to himself.
