Well hi everyone. I know I'm updating after a really long
time.....................my exams are finally over but I don't think I'm going
to be able to update very often coz I'm working part time for
a local magazine and since they pay me it's a responsibility. So
it's going to be updated only when I feel alive!
Chapter 8
Ginny paused in the act of dipping her quill in the ink pot. She was feeling really uneasy.........as though things were not as right as they seemed to be. Everything was too perfect, like the calm before the threatened storm.
There were just too many things to consider. Her relationship with Draco was not that innocuous that she could kid herself into thinking it did'nt matter. The problem was that she had always managed to attract quite the wrong type. Now the wrong types as such were too many to describe. For instance there was this character way back in her fifth year who proffessed his undying love for her and wanted to unite them in holy matrimony! To top it all he was almost six years her senior!
A feather brain in her place would have just let herself be washed away in the tidal wave called love..........only to find herself then marrooned on an island. Everything about him was wrong! So upon taking one cautious step after another she then tripped upon the realization that he had been seeing another witch, who was engaged to a wizard and still was! All of a sudden one fine morning this useless excuse for a female had woken up and thought to herself, " What shall I do today? Oh I know, I'll break off my engagement to Kazi and tell Gengi that I still love him".
She could just about picture her sitting on her bed rubbing her hands in glee. And then she bounced into the little plane where there was or should have been none but her and Gengi............and declared dramatically " Gengi, you are the only one who can save me from the loveless marriage I'm about to be trapped in, I love you I truly do."
That was the last straw. She walked out on the Gengi - hapless female scenario with a massive headache. What she could not stand was a male who behaved as though he was a spineless invertebrate. A year ago the same woman had dumped him and decided to go ahead and unite herself in holy wedlock with Kazi, and now she decides she wants him back.
She was dammed if she was going to fight over any male like a dog over a bone. What irked her even more was that Gengi was actually debating wether he was going to jump right back into the arms of "the other woman" or continue on his love struck path with Ginny.
Now Draco did'nt quite fit the requirements of the earlier nut case who in her opinion would have been denied treatment at St. Mungo's. But on the other hand he did'nt exactly fit the bill of the much adored son-in- law.....................whoa!!!!
Okay girl hold your horses she told herself!! Since when did she begin to imagine Draco in the role of prospective son-in-law? She could just imagine him strutting with that swagger of his which she had actually begun to adore although it could still grate on her nerves.
Snapping out of her reviere she was forced to ponder on the thought which put her in a whole new light...........in fact it hoisted her to new levels of lighting, one where people would view her as "Mrs. Malfoy". She groaned, she had fallen in love with him! And this cannot take place...................this was the exact kind of foolishness that she had seen many a brilliant witch fall prey too each time vowing she would be the exception!
She had managed to execute a perfect leap from the boiling cauldron into the fire. She could not bring herself to imagine Ron's face when he was enlightened. And her parents.................God she could not do this to them. Her Mother was still a wreck with Percy having left home and her father was the slow boiling type.
And he did'nt love her, she reminded herself. A Malfoy never loved anyone but himself. But he's changed, a small voice whispered in her head. But she did'nt dare to hope. The gravity and the magnanimity of her soul searching had been too much and still weighed heavily.
Shrugging she dropped her quill, walked to the door of the Gryffindor common room, inserting her hands into her coat. She needed to let out her pent up energy................maybe prowling around the corridors looking for the would be Wee Willi Winkie's and deducting a couple of house points would help soothe her frazzled nerves.
But with each step she took, she seemed to be no where naer her esteemed goal.............on the other hand she found herself right outside the Prefect's common room. She hesitated for a minute, then raised her hand and knocked lightly.
The door swung upon, and she was face to face with her worst mistake. His face softened as he saw her slim form outside. Gently drawing her in, he shut the door.
" How are you?" he whispered in her ear, holding her close. " I've missed you." The soft admission almost broke her. She had missed him too.......the sound of his voice, the feel of his warmth which he offerred unquestioningly, the taste of his lips. It had been a week since they had met, owing to the upcoming quidditch matches. She had proceeded alone for her nightly potions class that week as she had gained enough confidence.
But there were too many thoughts swimming in her head..........she needed to distance herself from him. Stepping away, she looked around the room as though she were seeing it for the first time. She felt her coat being slipped down her shoulders and she was glad when the weight left her.
She sat down in front of the fire on the warm hearth rug, but she still felt chilled. Sensing her need for silence, Draco sat down beside her, content to let the quietness echo around them. He was not one of those kinds who felt the need to keep up a constant flow of meaningless chatter. She thanked God for that.
Time passed and she said softly, " I should get back." Standing up draco pulled her to her feet, " Take care" he said, a smile crinkling at the corner of his eyes. Bending down he brushed his lips against hers. Pausing he looked into her eyes which were now alight with the flame of desire. She positively smouldered, and it was not unmatched. His passion more than rivalled her own.
Fusing his lips with her's he drew her as close as a man and woman could get. One hand was on her waist while the other was inexorably twisted in her red mane. She was alight and the fire was not about to die down. Slipping a hand in his shirt, she ran her hands over his pectoral muscles which promised hidden strength. She moaned and writhed beneath his touch. All it took was one touch...................
His finger paused on the top button of her shirt and as he undid them he looked in her eyes...........silently seeking and searching. Her only response was to draw him towards her for another breathless kiss.
As their bodies melted with the fire crackling merrily, He undid the remaining buttons of her shirt, and slid it down her shoulders. He now stroked bare skin, with only her flimsy bra protecting her from his invading touch.
That's it for this chapter, it's gone on long enough already. Thanks to all those who reviewed. Please continue to do so. Tell me what you think of this chapter. I love reading your feed back and strive to improve with every chapter. If you leave your email id I shall let you know when I update this fic.
