Chapter 11 Arrival at the Manor.

No one but Hermione was there on the dreary morning Draco and Ginny took their leave to go to Malfoy Manor.

She looked troubled, but did not try to sway Ginny from going.

She hugged Ginny tightly just before Draco helped her into the carriage, then the carriage rolled away.

The air felt chilly on Ginny's skin, she could almost see the damp air of the morning.

Ginny looked at Hermione's fading form for a long time, until it disappeared in the distance, the mists of morning swirling around her.

When she could no longer see her, she turned away to look at Draco.

He was watching her, his cold grey eyes following her every move.

He saw her looking and smirked, then slowly lowered his gaze lingering on her lips, her breasts and her hips.

She felt herself grow warm, but not wanting to show it she turned back to the window.

She was too confused right now, after what Hermione had said last....

'What if you loose your heart, Ginny?'

What if she did?

What if she had lost it already?

And why had she thought there was no way of loosing her heart?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Draco grinned at what he saw as a challenge, looking at the young woman sitting across from him.

Her hair shimmered in the morning light, damp with the moist hanging in the air.

They had been traveling for quite some time now, and all he did was look at her.

He wondered what she was thinking.....

No! He did not want to know!

As fascinating as she was, he knew what would come of that.

She would only distract him, hold power over him.

He reached out for her, heard her gasp as she landed in his lap.

Then she smiled and drew his lips to hers, her fingers playing with the soft hair in the nape of his neck.

He slid his hand over her leg, massaging her inner thigh, his hands gliding over her smooth skin.

Her soft moans washed over him, his lips kissing her jaw, sucking on the soft skin of her neck.

Her hands fell to his shoulders, massaging the muscles through his shirt.

He bit into the soft hollow of her shoulder in response.

Her hiss broke through his fevered brain as he slipped the buttons of her blouse free, uncovering the tops of her creamy breasts, the snake head resting between them, eyes ablaze.

His breathing hitched and he bend his head, kissing the creamy expanse.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ginny felt his lips sliding over her, his warm breath on her skin.

She dropped her hands, slipped them under the back of his shirt, stroking the muscles of his back.

Her eyes closed tightly, she held onto him as his lips grazed her skin.

The carriage came to a sudden halt, the door was opened.

"Well, well, Draco...." A drawling voice came, "Not wasting any time I see. Who is this young and ellusive mistress you were not telling me about?"

Draco looked up unembarrased, let go of her, then buttoned her blouse to cover her fevered skin.

"This is Virginia, father."

He stepped out of the carriage, holding out his hand to help her down.

Ginny felt Lucius Malfoy's narrowed eyes boring into her.

"Virginia? And how may I ask, have you acquired this asset my son?"

"She sold herself to me father. As you see, a treasure such as her is hard to resist and much easier enjoyed...."

Draco smirked at his father, watching him like a hawk ready to strike and exploit any sign of weakness.

"A Weasley I presume? Is this supposed to shock me son? Well girl, I must say this is an excellent carreer choice. You must let me congratulate you. A Weasley who looks alright too, hmn? And is wise enough to remain silent. Well son, I must say this is not what I had in mind when you said you were bringing your mistress over. Just tell me one thing; does Arthur Weasley know? If not, we can invite him over for dinner one of these days..... With his family of course..... Yes, that will do very well."

Lucius smirked at his son, then turned, walking to the Manor.

Draco scowled, "Damn, the old bastard doesn't let anything get to him! It takes quite a lot to piss him off, let alone to shock him. I really thought seeing you would send him over the edge."

Ginny looked at the enormous structure of the Manor, "I must say I'm surprised Draco. I wouldn't have thought he would take it so lightly. I think the thought of getting to my father must be a great comfort to him."

As imposing as the house was, she was not afraid.

Draco studied her, then took her hand in his.

"Well, let me take you to my chambers then, I dare say you'll like them."

Ginny smirked at him, "I dare say I will."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A troubled gaze watched the red-headed girl being let by Draco.

That girl reminded her of herself so much, she knew what would happen in the end.

She would have to warn her....

She saw the girl look up at Draco, eyes shining, her lips curved in a seductive grin.

Draco looked back at her, smirking, but his eyes held no warmth.

He would hurt her in the end.....

Only a fool would believe Draco Malfoy could love and this girl was obviously no fool.

Yet she would loose her heart in the end, she could see it in her eyes.

The red-head's eyes held so many emotions, so many hidden depths.

Yes, this girl had the potential to love.....

And it would ruin everything.

Because Draco Malfoy was not supposed to love.....

Ever.

*****************************************************************

I want to thank the following people for reviewing:

red-rose: Oh don't cry! It's nice you like it so much though ;)

Keita: Thanks hihi, I'll give it a go anyway. My english wasn't that good when I was twelve so I might as well try it now, I'm still a tad juvenile anyway ;)

Ohepelss Oramtnci: Ooh, mystery.... ;)

Felicity: Glad to see I dragged you in; can't help but lovin' that :)

The poepiemonster: I can't say who's gonna fall in love or not just yet, but I'm thinking of writing a sequel to this story..... They are not going to commit suicide in the end or something though, sorry.....

Aurora Noctifer: Hihi, noop there's gonna be no fluff.... As you see you're pretty good at guessing what I wrote (you have magic powers or something hihi?). But going from dark to fluff is not going to happen ;)

Slythrin0gal: Thank you! So glad you like it! :)

waterfairy-rose: And you were right as you can see! Yup, I'm a bit naughty *winks* Thanks for the compliment on my writing! I love to write :)

LP Figure09: Yeah, even though Hermione can explode, I thought she would be pretty level headed, seeing as how she likes to think everything through first and Ginny's not insulting her personally....

Hannio: Thank you! I love it that you love my writing. I've always loved to write, so I love making this fic. I'm glad you think it's different :)

Smudged: Thanks; yeah, I know Hermione sticks her nose in too deep usually, but since I'm not writing the fic from her perspective, you won't know what's she's gonna do before she does it....

Sezta: Thanks and yeah; it's all about taking the middle road....

LadyBrannon: Hihi: I hope so ;)

LiL'AnGeL*101: Thank you :)

mz-duCkiee: Maybe I will, maybe I won't..... It's gonna be a big surprise.....

xangelcrisisx: Wow, deep commercials. Thanks; this whole fic is based on digging a deep pit to fall into ;)

highVOLTAGE: Thank you! Yeah, Malfoy Manor.... mystery, mystery.....

Nibinlotwen: Hihi, love/using, what will it be? I'm not telling yet, it would spoil the story *winks*.... But so far they're only using one another.

Astrid: Yep, it does have a double meaning, but you'll figure it out soon enough ;)

MelissaAdams: Thank you, I will though as explained it's gonna take a while to post again. Sorry about that....

Emily.Hart: Hihi, no I haven't read the Unforgettable Fire, but if I have time I'll give it a try. And yeah, Gin was great in the Order of the Phoenix. I loved how she got more involved in everything and the attitude was great!

dragonsprincess (chapter 4 and 10): Thank you! Oh and Draco's seventeen here hihi, so he'd have another schoolyear and Gin would have two..... And the protection thingie, well Gin can't get pregnant..... but I'm not saying why..... (as you can guess there's only two reasons why that would be).... I'll take a peek at your fic later on hihi, I dunno if I'm gonna have time soon, since I'm going to Rhodos first, but I'll give it a try at least when I get back.

AngelGurl: Yeah, I can get into the stress hihi......

SatansFlower: Thanks! I love the hotness too ;)
