Chapter 10 As dreams collide.
Ginny looked around the Great Hall, searching for Draco.
She did not know what was going on, but Snape had let her off the hook without any questions.
It had been some days since her dream, yet she could still feel the terror, the hurt she had felt.
What had it meant?
Why did it happen to her?
She had woken up, alone, no Draco by her side. No comfort.
It had hurt, but she hid it away, far away in the recesses of her mind.
She had not missed any other classes and no more dreams had visited her, much to her relief.
Christmas would soon come....
Hermione had been a great support, having not made any comments on her and Draco's relationship.
Harry had not said anything, but they never really talked anyway.
To Ron however, she was as good as dead.
He ignored her and it had hurt at first.
But as the days passed, she found her frustrated feelings settle, felt them fade.
Only fear of her dream remained, no other emotions surfaced.
Nothing fazed her, only Draco still held the power to hurt her, he stood too close....
She needed to regain control in their bargain.
The snake eyes of her necklace followed the moves of the people entering the hall, missing nothing.
Some looked at her now with something very akin to fear.
She smirked at them, a malicious aura pooring around her.
Fear and desire; all for her.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco's smirked as he went over his carefully laid out plans.
Now he only had to get Ginny to agree to them.....
He looked at the red head, currently busy scribbling down a Potions essay.
"Gin?" His voice startled her, she looked up at him.
"I want you to come with me to Malfoy Manor for Christmas. I'm not planning on doing without you for two weeks."
She just looked at him, "I don't think it will work Draco; what will you tell your parents?"
"I already wrote to them, telling them that I'm going to bring my mistress over. My father's okay with it, he doesn't know yet it's you though."
Her eyes twinkled in the light of the candles, "Time to shock the parents isn't it Draco?"
Her eyes followed him as he stalked towards her. He sat besides her, pulling her into his lap.
"Oh yeah," Was all she heard before his lips settled over hers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny grinned as she thought of their plans.
She was currently packing to go to Malfoy Manor with Draco.
She had written to her parents, telling them that she was going to her boyfriend's house to meet his parents.
They had given their permission, not even asking who the guy was.
Her eyes hardened; so much for interesting themselves for their only daughter.....
She felt a presence behind her and grinned.
Maybe Draco had snuck into the dorms again.....
She continued packing, waiting for the sliding of his hands over her, but nothing happened.
Slowly, she turned around, saw her brother standing there.
"What do you want?" Her voice was icy, laced with contempt.
He stiffened, "I just wanted to say I was sorry.... And I am, you know. I just hope that you're right and that Draco will be good for you. I dunno what you see in him though, but I guess it's none of my business. I just wanted you to know that we all care for you and that you don't need to do this...."
Her cold eyes stopped him, "Are you saying Draco's not only using me, but I'm using him as well? Nice to know what you think of me Ron."
"No! That's not what I meant... It's just that I thought you might have felt that you needed something extra, like attention and that he might have seen it and he could be using that and-"
"You're wrong Ron.... I went to Draco, not the other way around."
Ron just shrugged, "Well, as long as you're sure..."
He seemed to want to say more, but the look in her eyes stopped him. Somehow, he felt he did not know the young woman standing before him; somehow, somewhere, he has lost his little sister.....
He turned around and left, leaving behind a stranger to him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is he really your boyfriend Gin, or is something else going on?"
"What is it to you, Herm?" For the second time, Ginny was interrupted while packing.
She did not need to ask herself how Hermione knew, somehow, the older girl always saw things that were not so obvious to others.
"Nothing Gin, it's just that you lacked response when Ron said Draco didn't love you some time ago. I've been thinking on that."
"So what if Ron says that?"
Hermione eyes softened, "I know that if you felt something strongly for him, you'd have responded differently.... I know you're sleeping with him Gin. I can even see why you find him attractive if I look at it passively. I just don't understand why you have changed."
Ginny swallowed, "The Chamber of Secrets and hearing people whispering, laughing behind your back about your poverty does that to a person Herm. I just wanted to be someone for once in my life. So I went to Draco...."
"You went to Draco for what Gin?" Hermione looked stunned.
"I think you know why Herm, I think you know.... And I can't even regret it. I don't love him and he doesn't love me. We have good times together; he slackes his lust and I get designer clothes. We use each other to achieve what we want."
By now, Hermione was looking even more concerned, "Don't you feel any doubt Gin? Don't you even feel used? Don't you want something more out of your life?"
"I don't feel anything any more, Herm. I don't feel anything at all. I wake up in the morning just for him...... It's like he's the only one who holds power over me. He needs me, even if it's just for lust. And I need him to need me.... It's like it's all I ever wanted..."
Ginny stared of into the distance, seeing the sun setting again, thinking of her first time with Draco. From far away she could hear Hermione's concerned voice,
"What if you fall in love with him Gin? What then? He has no heart...."
She saw the shadows playing between the colours in the sky, saw the darkness eating away the light, "I don't think I have a heart to loose Hermione."
