"Speaking"
Thinking
Kings cross station was packed full of people like it was every year at this time. Draco stood on platform 9 ¾ with his butler, Martin and his trolley full of luggage. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
Ginny said she would be here. he thought impatiently. Closing the watch he placed it securely back into his pocket. Standing there in his obviously expensive clothes and also with a butler, anyone could tell that Draco was no commoner. Being the sole Heir to the Malfoy Family line, Draco had everything life could offer. This also included a very lovely fiancé who still had not arrived.
Draco crossed his arms and was in a pose his father would scold him for. It was neither proper nor sophisticated, but Draco didn't care.
"I'm sure Miss Ginny will be here soon," Martin said while noticing his young master's impatient posture.
"What could be taking her so long?" Draco said with irritation.
"Miss Ginny has a very demanding Family," Martin reasoned.
Draco let out a sigh. "I think I know why I never visit her then."
"Why wouldn't you visit me?" said a voice from the right. Draco turned his head and saw Ginny walking towards him. She was wearing a maroon colored dress covered with a black cloak.
Draco smiled as he took a few steps towards her. "Because my house is more luxurious," He answered pompously.
Ginny laughed. This was a little private joke between them. Draco had never visited Ginny's house and had started to wonder why some time ago. Draco's parents said that he wasn't allowed to and Ginny told him that her Aunt, whom she said she was staying with, was too busy and that their place was too crowded. Draco thought that they were very lame excuses, so he began to make 'better' reasons himself.
"Do you have everything packed?" Ginny asked him.
"You helped me pack remember?"
"So I did," Ginny replied with a smile.
The two stood facing each other only a few centimeters apart but didn't say a word or move and inch. Draco eventually cleared his throat and gave Martin a sideways glance. It finally dawned on Martin that it was time for him to leave.
"I think I'll go buy you a copy of the Daily Prophet to read on the train, Master Draco," Martin said and then quickly walked away.
Ginny couldn't hold back her giggles and Draco also smiled. After controlling herself, Ginny looked up at Draco again.
"You better study very hard and get good marks," she said to him and Draco nodded.
"Don't get into too much trouble ok?" she said and he nodded.
"Be nice and don't sneer too much." Draco nodded again.
"Make sure to think sneakily when the sorting hat is on your head. You have to get into Slytherin you know." Draco once again nodded.
"Can I say goodbye now?" Draco was finally able to ask. Ginny's eyes immediately watered but she blinked her tears back and nodded. "Goodbye Ginny. I'll miss you," he said softly.
"I'll miss you too," Ginny said sadly. The train hooted and Martin was back again. Ginny looked at Draco sadly before she took a step back and Martin started pushing the trolley to the train while Draco walked slowly behind.
Ginny stayed where she was and watched them go. Once Draco was on the steps leading up to the train he turned and waved back quickly before disappearing into the carriage. Ginny stood there for a few seconds before turning around and running to the lower section of the train.
Ginny made it just in time to see her brothers walking up the steps. She gave them all a quick hug and waved goodbye. Once the train had left the platform, Ginny let out a big sigh.
Molly placed a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder. "I know it is hard Ginny, but you'll understand some day."
Ginny simply nodded her head and followed her mother back home.
It might seem weird to any stranger as to why I would say goodbye to one person at the front of the train and then run to the end and say goodbye to another bunch of people. It wouldn't seem weird however if you actually knew me. The answer is simple, really. I have two lives. I don't remember when exactly it started but I do know that it is important that I keep it up. You see, my full name is Ginerva Laurel Weasley. That's my real life. But when I go over to my fianc's house I am Ginny Laurel. Technically I am still me, except he doesn't know that my last name is really Weasley and not Laurel. I really don't see the harm in telling him, but my Mother said that it would be wise if I didn't just for now. She said that the reasons would be clear to me in the future. Oh well, I don't care anyways. It's still me no matter what my name is.
It might seem ever weirder that at the age of ten I already have a fiancé. I personally don't think there is anything weird at all, but my mum insists that I tell no one about him. That includes my brothers. I guess not telling them doesn't really matter either because they'd probably make fun of me about it. But sometime it can be hard, because I have to lie to them to keep Draco a secret.
I think having a fiancé is fantastic. Well my fiancé is fantastic anyways. He's so sweet and caring. He also does the funniest things. He acts so different from my brothers and it's quite hilarious. Especially when he stands up whenever Aunt Nissa and I stand up from the table. I once made fun of him by standing up quickly and then sitting back down again. He had stood up, but once he saw that I was sitting again he started to sit down but then I stood up so he had to stand up again. I did that a couple of times and he got so annoyed he skipped lunch. I was a bit mean that time but he got over it. He never stays angry for long and that's what makes him so fun to make fun of.
However, he's going to Hogwarts this year for school. It's a boarding school so I won't be able to see him for a long time. Everyone else at my house is also at school so I'm going to be all alone. Though learning from Grammy and Aunt Nissa can take away some of the boredom, it still isn't the same without Draco. He's the best. I can't wait until I can go to school too.
Father had organized some 'friends' to accompany me on the train to Hogwarts, so now I am sitting in a compartment with the two giants. The two idiots probable didn't even have a brain between them so they are boring me to death. I can't wait until I meet some real people. Preferable someone like, Ginny, my fiancé. Though she can be annoying at times and likes to play pranks on me, she's the only sanctuary I have from my demanding Father, Lucius Malfoy. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be a Malfoy. Whenever I go anywhere with my Father the service we receive is always the best. Even if I don't go anywhere with my Father, people know that any Malfoy is worth respecting. It's just that my father can be very harsh sometimes.
My Father is very strict. He expects me to know everything, and everything I do has to be perfect. I remember when I was first introduced to Ginny my Father didn't like her, so I didn't like her either. At that age, everything my father did I wanted to copy. He looked perfect and I thought that if I did everything like he did then I'd be perfect too. Ginny comes over to our mansion every Saturday morning and would leave Saturday night. For three years I ignored her while we were forced to stay together and be friends. Father never spoke to her or even gave her a second look, so I didn't either. For three years she would just sit at the window seat doing her own thing while I learnt constantly at my desk. Languages, History and Literature were taught to me ever since I was young and I was expected to know them well. But one day, everything changed.
FLASHBACK
Draco walked rigidly up the stairs and up to his bedroom. After what had just happened any other boy would slam their doors shut with anger, but Draco didn't. He closed the door quietly behind him. He saw Ginny sitting at the window seat reading a book. Any other boy would probably vent their anger on her, but Draco didn't. He breathed in deeply and sat at his desk. Any other boy would probably hit and punch their fists in the desk, but Draco didn't. He clenched his hands tightly and placed them on top of the desk.
Draco had just accompanied his Parents to an afternoon get together where he had been asked by his father to demonstrate his talent on playing the piano. At first it was as expected and Draco played exquisitely for an eight year old. Mid way through the piece however, Draco made a mistake. This mistake was joined by many other mistakes, because Draco was so nervous and embarrassed he couldn't concentrate. He chose to end the piece quickly and walked away from the piano. Lucius didn't look at his son for the rest of the event. Once they had arrived home, Lucius had given Draco a lecture on what a disappointment he was. He also punished Draco to practice his piano twice as hard and twice as long everyday.
Draco sat at his desk and wanted to cry. It was only one mistake, but it was enough to make him feel like a failure. Lucius Malfoy had a failure of a son. Draco wanted to cry but he remembered that men did not cry. He held his tears in with all his might. He was holding in such a strong emotion that he had his eyes clamped shut and was trembling slightly.
A hand was placed on his arm and Draco looked up to see Ginny standing next to him.
"What do you want?" He croaked out, barely holding the tears in.
Ginny didn't answer him and just tugged on his arm to get him to stand. Draco eventually stood up and Ginny led him to the bathroom. She pushed him into the shower and whispered 'water on'. Draco was shocked to feel the water fall on him, and especially when he was full dressed. He looked at Ginny with disbelief. "What are you doing?" he demanded.
Ginny was looking back at him sadly. "Letting you hide," she answered.
The meaning of her words was so strong. Draco smiled sadly and leaned against the wall of the shower. He slowly slid down until he was sitting in the shower floor and he closed his eyes to let himself cry. Nobody could see it though, because it was mixed with the water cascading down his face. When he finally opened his eyes again, he saw that Ginny was sitting in front of the shower hugging her knees. She was wet from the water spraying out and he could see two rows of tears streaming down her face.
Martin and Ginny's hired Nanny, Sarah, soon came in and was shocked to see them like that. Sarah had immediately wrapped Ginny in a towel and carried her to her room. Martin had turned the water off and had helped Draco out of the shower to get dry again.
END FLASHBACK
I was so surprised that at such a young age, Ginny was so wise. I thought she would be like other girls who didn't think and just played with dolls and ponies, but she wasn't. What she did that day changed the way I saw her and it also changed the way we interacted with each other. I remember going to her room after I was dried to see how she was and found her sitting at her window seat looking out at the yard. I sat opposite of her and also looked out of the window. When I turned back to face her, she was staring at me.
"Why were you crying?" was the first thing I wanted to know.
"Because you were crying." Was her simple answer.
I honestly believe that that was the very minute everything changed. I finally noticed that she wasn't just some girl I needed to know, but was someone who could also know me. So for the last two and a half years we have spent every Saturday getting to know each other and I think she's absolutely amazing.
AN: I hope you all didn't get too confused with all my different point of views. I think I had all that was possible in this chapter. Third person, Draco's POV, Ginny's POV and a flash back. If you are confused please tell me, I'll try to help, and if any of you have a better suggestion to how I could betray what I want to betray, feel free to tell me. I'm open to any suggestions that can help me improve this story. Thanks.
