AN: Firstly I'd like to say that Nick-elodean, you are one smart, eh whatever sex you are. I didn't realize that, but I know I can fix it. (o).(-) thank you though, cause I seriously didn't notice that. You've been there since the beggining so you could tell me myfic sucked and I'd belive you for a second- cause it doesn't and I'm obsessed with it!

Secondly ace- I have no excuse for using 'ain't' but Gawd, it's God cept that I don't like to write that. Don't take offence or anything, anybody, but I'm 16 and still deciding whether or not I believe in him. So I just feel more comfy saying it that way…there might maybe be someone that prefers that to?...other then that sorry if I do ne thing else American, I've only been to the uk once, and the only people that even talked to me there was the people in the line to get the HP book… ooo cool story, I was like fifth in line there and they were all dressed up and handing out candy and-and ICE CUBES, which was the first ones I'd got since I got to Europe twelve days earlier. Okay right sorry story-

Rosies and Posie: Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down.

Chapter 11

She dabbed his forehead with a washcloth. He was sick again and seemed a whole lot less comfortable in his own room then he even was in the hospital beds. He had to be pushed everywhere since they got there, and her arms were killing her. The dang place was a little more then half the size of Hogwarts.

Malfoy manor. six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an like a zillion other things that she wasn't told about. The only people she'd even come across so far was Narcissa who seemed completely oblivious to the fact she was there until dinner when she pushed Draco in and he motioned her to sit next to him-which was more like away from him because the table was so big that each chair was three feet apart.

She sat down and looked over at him as he smiled at his mom. He didn't put his hand on his head or closed his eyes and bow his head, and she bloody-(there ace:)-well knew that he wanted to. She pulled her chair so she was sitting right next to him and felt a billion times more short then ever. He looked over and her cringing as her chair scrapped toward him so she stopped mouthed and apology and picked it up the rest of the way. Draco's wheelchair was making him way taller then her too, she reached just about to his armpit.

He looked down at her and laughed, "You look like a little kid." She kind of felt like it too. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a pink sweater with her only pair, of white Quiddich shoes. But she was also wearing her hair in braided pigtails, with pink hair ties. She felt like a little kid looked up at a grownup.

"Kinda feel like one too." She said looking at the empty plate.

"Excuse me, but who is this?" Narcissa asked quietly looking daggers at Ginny, who recoiled and looked over at Draco.

"Mom, this is Ginny, didn't Adams tell you about her?"

"I haven't seen Adams since the wake yesterday." She said grabbing a roll from in front of her. Draco didn't grab anything, so Ginny kept still even though she was starving and ready to plunge at them. Even as Narcissa started scrapping things on her plate he didn't move but continued to explain about her and working in the hospital and about them being together and-WHAT? They were together, even to his mom? YES!

Narcissa took a bite of her food and looked over at Ginny. "Aren't you going to eat, or are you one of those girls who barely eats anything?" she giggled. Draco burst out laughing.

"Hey," Ginny said smiling, "Not funny, how come you aren't eating?"

"Lady's eat first here. Since I was a kid mom got her food first then me and dad 'dug in'."

"Sounds fair to me." Ginny said jumping up and scooping a bit of everything-she could eat. Wish it was like this at home." She said mouth full from the roll she had stuffed into her mouth. Narcissa looked disgusted but didn't say anything.

Draco who was used to it just muttered, "Keep your mouth closed." As he always did.

It was quiet for a while- while the woman ate. Ginny looked over and noticed her still wasn't eating. "Not," she swallowed, "Hungry?"

"Not really."

"That's too bad." She said slopping a bunch of food on his plate. "Here you go. Eat up."

Draco growled and took a bite. Narcissa couldn't hold her tongue this time, "Don't make him eat if he doesn't want to."

"But he had to eat."

"No he doesn't."

"Listen lady, if he doesn't eat now he's gonna regret it later, so just leave it." Ginny said and then remembering who she was talking to she sat back down and took a bite of her food. Please don't make me choke, please don't make me choke.

"I want to eat mom, don't worry about it." Draco said quietly and Ginny looked over to see him shoveling something in his mouth.

The rest of the was too quiet for Ginny. She was used to the school, and her house everyone talked to the person across from them. Meaning she would tell Ron everything she did that day and he her, which they did automatically at supper now… when she was there.

Just as they were all about finished Ginny noticed something, "Where's Alec, shouldn't he be eating." Dracos hand slapped his head, like 'oh great, we almost made it' and then came the outrage.

"Why the hell would I allow him to sit at our table?" she screamed and then stood and ran from the table.

"Woah, what just happened, I though Alec was a family friend."

"Gin, didn't you hear Alec earlier?"

"When?" she asked not knowing which part, "You mean when you two started screaming at each other, yeah I heard that. But you still need to explain to me why you suddenly stopped looking at him and why he isn't here when he was so close to your parents'." She said standing from her chair and pulling him carefully from under the table.

Thank gawd Draco had a floor level room, or house whatever you called it, cause she had no way to get him up the stairs otherwise. "Gin, he didn't 'love' my mom at all, just my father. I don't know if it was just one sided or what, but I think he was literally in love with my father."

"Oh." That made sense now that she thought about it. At her house it wasn't weird for a guy to tell the other they loved the other. It was just what they did. She smiled then frowned and looked around. "Oh your mom, where is she?"

"Let's just go to bed okay Gin, I'm getting really tired." He said closing his eyes head in his hands again. What was the deal, how come he couldn't do that in front of his own mother?

"Right lets get you to bed." She said jogging back to the wheelchair and rolling him into his room.

She rolled to the bed and locked it, so pulled down the sheets and took a step away. Before she could leave he grabbed her wrist and said, "Gin- see that there?" he said pointing to a box on the bedside table. She nodded, "Can you open it, it's for you." He said looking a little shy.

"Me? No it isn't my birthday." She giggled.

"I know that. It's because you're always there for me, because your always doing things for me. And when I get better I'm going to give you everything you want. And more, what I want and I'm going to do everything for you, and more." He said standing and handing her the box.

She was still kind of dumbfounded as he handed it to her and sat on the bed to wait for her to find out what it was. She looked at him and then at the box and slowly started to open it. It was a cute, most gorgeous, bracelet- a silver charm bracelet. There was one charm on it, It was a dragon and a butterfly- both with one wing around the other. It was in amazing detail for as small as it was, and dang her she couldn't help but get a little teary eyed.

"Do you like it?" he asked with a smile.

"It's amazing." She said kissing his forehead and sitting next to him. "How did you know about the butterfly thing?" she asked.

"What do you mean." She lifted up her sweater a little to show her belly-button ring, a little butterfly. He laughed, "I didn't know about that. I just always thought of you that way. When you were flew you were so graceful and beautiful, just like a butterfly." He said quietly.

She blushed at first and then screeched, "Oh shit flew- Harry, I didn't tell him about missing the Quiddich match- again." She said falling backwards on the king size bed. He fell back too, and situated his arm under her neck.

"Don't worry about that tonight. You can worry tomorrow." He said kissing her temple. Why don't you go get ready for bed and we can get some sleep."

"That reminds me, where am I sleeping?"

He laughed, "You sure have been missing a lot today."

"Hey."

"No offence, anyway- you're sleeping in here with me."

She blushed again, "No kidding? Your mom's allowing this?"

"My mom doesn't care what I do." He said standing and shooing her in the bathroom, stopping on the way to grab himself something to wear. He shut the door behind her. She looked at her reflection for a second and the opened the door quickly, "I need my-Eepp!" she slammed the door again and screamed through it, "-bag."

She heard him laughing, and he threw the bag through the door. Fully clothed Draco said, "You have six brothers, what's wrong with you."

"Yeah, well you definitely aren't my brother."

He laughed again and said, "Thanks for that." And shut the door.

"Hey!" she said giggling and pulled on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. (ace- I don't know what other people where to bed, but that's what I wear)

She walked out and saw that he was already under the covers. She looked around for a candle or something and noticed the light was coming from the ceiling. "Well how the hell?" she asked remembering to look for a light switch. He laughed and pointed by the door. "Bout the only muggle thing dad loved." He said as she flicked it off.

"Woah, it's dark." She said. "Where's the bed…?" thunk, "Ouch, not the bed."

Draco laughed, "Hurry up already."

"Well excuse me if your room has bad fricking chi. You should consider rearanging."

He laughed harder, "The spiders are going to eat you."

"Eep!" and he hear loud pattering and felt pain.

"Ouch, that's my side." He said grabbing his stomach.

She scrambled to her side and got on her knees next to him trying to feel around for him, poking him in the eye before she found his forehead. "Sorry." She said laying her hand on the top of his head and sitting cross legged against the headboard. After a little while she said, "Ever heard of windows. The moon is helpful much."

"You afraid of the dark?" he asked and she could tell he was about to fall sleep.

"A little," said her hand moving to his shoulder and down his arm to grab his hand. She scooted under the covers and laid down. "Jeez, your room is worse then mine. I feel like they're crawling all over me." She said shivering and with her other hand, pulled the covers over her head.

He chuckled and did the same, rolling on his side and wrapping his arms around her. "Go to sleep." He said all breathy like making Ginny shiver even more.

"Okay." She choked out.
