Chapter Eleven: A Rose
BEWARE! BEFORE YOU READ THIS CHAPTER I HAVE TO WARN YOU! THIS CHAPTER IS VERY DRAMATIC AND IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE OUT OF CHARACTER. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
"The stars are really bright tonight." Ginny whispered as she cuddled closer to her boyfriend who was staring at her lovingly; unknown to her.
"Yes, beautiful." He whispered back as he placed butterfly kisses along her collarbone. She smiled faintly and closed her eyes.
Tonight was the celebration of their three month anniversary. Wow, three months. I can't believe it. Ginny thought to herself. Blaise is wonderful; such a gentleman. She loved the fact that even though he had money, he didn't buy her extravagant gifts everyday to express his feelings for her. Instead he would do things that represented more than words could express. Sure, he would buy her beautiful things, but what Ginny loved most about them, was the little note or poem that accompanied the gift.
A few times a week, the couple would sneak out on a bright, starry night, like tonight, admiring the sky and enjoying each others company. Some nights they would talk about the others day or about the latest gossip, and other nights they would just sit, holding each other, whispering sweet nothings in each others ear. Blaise loved to shower Ginny with little things that had a lot of meaning to it. He didn't find it appropriate to give someone he liked as much as he liked Ginny, a gorgeous gift with no meaning to it at all.
After class, Blaise would walk Ginny to the common room and the two of them would change and go to the Room of Requirement or where ever they felt like going that day, and do homework, eat dinner, or play games. Because the both of them were very open to each other and so close they would talk about things that most couples wouldn't talk about. For instance, sex, period, girls, guys or anything else. That was another thing that Ginny liked about Blaise. He didn't think with his dick, but his heart so they didn't make out every second they were alone.
"Are we going to the Christmas Ball together?" Blaise asked in a hush tone, even though he knew the answer.
Ginny shrugged, "I don't know. I mean we've been together for so long, what has it been like? Three months? We are way over due for a break up."
Blaise sat up abruptly, making his girlfriend sit up. "Are you serious?"
She nodded sadly, though smiling and said, "I am."
"I can't believe this!" He stood up and stormed back to the castle, leaving Ginny sitting under the tree shocked. I can't believe that he seriously thought that I wanted to break up with him. Why the hell would he think that? Unless, he wants to break up. Oh my god! She stood up and ran after him.
When she finally caught up to him, she jumped in front of him and into his arms. She kissed him full on the lips and when they broke apart she started apologizing and explaining how it was all a joke and she didn't want to break up with him. But she stopped in mid- explanation because he was grinning widely. She cocked an eye brow and asked, "Why are you smiling like that?"
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. Inwardly, Ginny gasped and was thinking that he seriously wasn't going to pop the question now. It was too soon. "I'm glad that you were joking. Because it would be horrible to return this." He one handedly opened the box and smiled even wider when he saw the look on his girlfriend's face.
Inside the box, laid a very simple yet elegant ring. It was plain silver, intertwined at the center was a small ruby. Ginny gasped and her eyes began to water. "Oh my god, Blaise. It's beautiful. But, but-"
He tilted her chin up so she was looking at him instead of the ring and said gently, but firmly, "I'm not asking you to marry me, yet. This is for our three month anniversary. Do you like it?"
She smiled and said, "I love it. Thank you so much. It's beautiful." She kissed him again and they broke apart smiling. He took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. She was admiring the ring as Blaise began to put the box back into his pocket. "Wait." She said stopping him. "There's no note?"
He smiled and continued to put the box in his pocket. "Sorry baby, not tonight." He kissed the tip of her nose and put her on her feet. They walked back to the castle hand in hand. She didn't even notice the walk back as she replayed the night repeatedly in her head. She didn't wake out of her trance until she entered her dorm. There were roses everywhere and rose petals littered the floor and the bed. On her pillow lay a single piece of parchment.
Ginny slowly walked over to her bed and a smile danced across her face as she read the poem:
In the early morning hour,
Just before dawn, lover and beloved wake
and takes a drink of water.
She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more? 0
Really, tell the absolute truth."
He says, "There is nothing left of me.
I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise,
Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance
to the sunlight."
She looked at the ring that sat upon her finger and looked around the room. Red was everywhere. She smiled and fought back tears. He's so sweet and romantic. She sat down on her bed, careful to move the petals and laid on her back. This is beautiful. He's beautiful. She sighed, with the note in her hands, over her heart.
Blaise came in a dream like trance, thinking about the night and how Ginny had reacted when he gave her the ring.
Draco looked up from the essay he was writing and smirked. "So I guess the ring worked?"
Blaise nodded, "Yeah. She was ecstatic." He sat across from his friend and put his head in his hands. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, Ginny and I would never be this close."
His friend cocked an eye brow and asked, "Why do you think that?"
"Ginny likes a romantic guy. Someone who doesn't buy her love but shows it in ways that are unique and I'm not that guy. Well I am, it's just, she's seen everything I've done to thegirls of my past. I want to do something special for her."
"That was so deep." Draco placed a mocking hand over his heart and sighed dramatically. Blaise had done a lot for Ginny on his own, without Draco's help, but sometimes he needed to run his plans by his friend to get an opinion. Tonight was both of their plans, Draco's was the ring and Blaise had put together the room full of roses. Draco was the one who gave Blaise the idea of the poems and notes.
Blaise loved the idea, but couldn't come up with romantic poems so Draco did it for him. They both knew that if Ginny ever thought that Blaise's gifts, thoughts and actions weren't sincere, she would never talk to them again. She would think it was a game and it would kill the three of them if they were no longer friends, so this plan had to be kept under tight ropes.
"Thanks mate, I really appreciate everything that you're doing for me." Blaise said.
Draco shrugged, "No problem, just make sure that I'm invited to the wedding." He stood up and started putting his things back into his bag. "I'm going to crash now, see you later."
He dropped his things on the floor by his bed, jumped onto his bed and pulled the curtains around him. He closed his eyes and sighed. After a few seconds of silence, he reached under his pillow and pulled out a quill and notebook. He opened it to the marked place and continued to write.
A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
He paused for a moment and thought. After half an hour of thinking what else to write and coming up with a blank page, he put the notebook and quill away and took out a book. He sat himself comfortably under his covers with his knees propped up, opened his book and began to read.
The next morning, Ginny woke up with a smile plastered across her face. She had just had a wonderful dream about Blaise. She sighed and sat up. I have to thank him! She jumped out of her bed and ran to the bathroom.
Washed up, clean, and feeling great, Ginny came out of the bathroom, still smiling and came face to face with Pansy. "You filthy little blood traitor, what did you do last night?" Last night, when Pansy and her friends went up to the dorm, they couldn't enter it. For some reason, the door was locked and wouldn't open. They were about to report to Professor Snape, but Draco had persuaded them to sleep somewhere else.
With the smile still on her face, Ginny replied, "I'm sorry, but I have somewhere to be. See you tonight." She attempted to walk past Pansy and her friends but they wouldn't let her pass.
"We aren't going to let you pass until you tell us what the hell you did to our room last night."
"I don't know what you are talking about. Are you girls sure you couldn't come in? I mean how did I get in here and you didn't?"
Pansy smirked, "You and you're boyfriend were probably having a hot and heavy night weren't you? So how many is it now? 20?" Ginny was about to reply but was cut off, "Wait, you've been with Blaise forquite a fewmonths now haven't you? Wow, that's a really long time. You aren't getting attached now are you? I mean, we are in...I guess you could call it a business."
"I'm not playing this game with you anymore. I have Blaise now and I'm happy. I'm-"
"Oh Merlin, so you were being a slut because you weren't happy? What was wrong Weasley? Money problems or the fact that you know that you will never get a boyfriend that will stay with you for more than afew months? You and I both know Blaise. We both know that he can't stay with one girl for a long period of time. Hey, right now, he could be with someone else and you wouldn't even know it."
"Blaise isn't like that."
"Really? Just because you've known him for what...6, 7 years? You think that he's told you everything he's done? Did you know that when he was 13, he got a girl pregnant? And did you know what he did for the girl? He did absolutely nothing. He shrugged and denied that the baby was his. That girl left. Think..."
Ginny's smile left her and she swallowed hard. She had heard about that, but Blaise told her that it wasn't true. She had believed him because she didn't think that Blaise would be so inconsiderate and careless. "Excuse me." She whispered as she left the room.
She walked up the stairs to the boys dormitory and walked in. She looked over to Blaise's bed and found it empty. Then she looked over to the other boys bed's and found them all empty too. She sighed, Great, where the hell are they? Blaise doesn't usually leave without me.
Ginny didn't see Blaise that whole day and it was making her worry. "Hey, Draco? Can we talk?" She asked him. They were in the Great Hall eating dinner and Ginny couldn't take it anymore. She had to find out if the rumors and everything that Pansy said were true. Though, in the back of her mind, she knew that they weren't. She just wanted to make sure and she didn't feel like asking Blaise because she didn't want to make him feel like she didn't trust him.
"Yeah, sure. Do you want to go now?"
"If you don't mind."
He shrugged and got up. "Where to?"
"Follow me." She said as she led the way to the Room of Requirement.
Once they were in the room, she imagined a sofa, a small table and two cups of coffee. They sat down and Ginny got right to the point. "Where is Blaise?" She asked bluntly.
"He's home."
"What? When? Why? How?"She jumped out of the seat andblurted out the questions in one breath.She was shocked, disappointed, scared all at the same time. She was shocked and disappointed that her boyfriend didn't tell her that he was going home and she was scared because she knew that Blaise' family consisted of quite a few death eaters.
Draco rolled his eyes and said, "Relax. He's fine. He went home really early this morning, by floo powder, because he's parents said that they had something they needed to discuss with him. He'll be back next week, just in time for the Christmas Ball."
"Oh." She said, sadly as she looked down at the ring that sat on her finger. She was upset because she won't be able to thank her boyfriend, she won't be able to see him and she won't be able to write to him or anything. His parents didn't know that the two of them were dating so if she were to write a letter to him, they wouldn't allow him to read it.
Draco chuckled, "Don't worry, babe. You have me to keep you company. Plus, this week will determine whether or not you two can stay true to each other." He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big bear hug. She was fighting to get up, but when he didn't let go, she sighed and relaxed in his arms. Wow, his arms and Blaise's are so...different. Draco's seem so gentle and Blaise's are gentle, but they have this...hesitant feeling to it for a while before he relaxes. This feels...good.
Draco was a good4 inches taller than her so she had to stand on her tippy toes, but he still had to bend over a little. "Blaise and I aren't going to break up." She said into his shoulder.
That night Draco went to his room feeling great. He and Ginny had sat on the couch, in his arms, and talked for hours on end. They hadn't really talked while Blaise was around. The three of them would hand out and stuff, but Draco and Ginny never had time to spend, with just the two of them together.
He jumped onto his bed, drew the curtains and took out his poem book and continued to write.
A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose -
The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows.
Over the next few days, Ginny and Draco spent more time together and were hardly ever seen one without the other. As the days progressed, Draco was getting more anxious. Blaise hadn't sent him a letter since he left and Draco was getting a little worried. Blaise had gone home because he had been given a small task by his parents. He was to go to Ireland and retrieve an important stone. He would have told Ginny, but Blaise had made him promise not to tell his girlfriend of his where about's.
Whispers and rumors flew around the school about Draco, Ginny and Blaise. Whispers and rumors that were absolutely false, though neither Draco nor Ginny did anything about them except deny the false accusations when asked.
The rumors were that, Draco and Ginny started going out and Blaise was so broken hearted that he left school. Others were more believable like the one where Ginny and Blaise were still together, but Blaise had to go home because his mother was sick and Ginny started getting bored, so she hooked up with Draco. Both Ginny and Draco, laughed at the mere thought of what the student body was saying about them.
Beside the hilarious gossip that was going around, everyone was really excited. The Christmas Ball was coming up and both girls and boys were flying through the halls asking each other who they were going to go with and what they were going to wear and all sorts of questions.
Unfortunately for Ginny, she couldn't really get as excited as everyone else. She was afraid that Blaise wouldn't make it to the dance and she would be left there, date less. She asked Draco every day, constantly, if he knew when her beloved would come home and every time the answer was, "I don't know, Ginny, but he said that he'll be back on the day of the ball, don't worry." But she did worry and that was all she could do.
"Hey Ginny?"
She looked up from the book she was reading, "Yes?" She and Draco were in the library studying for upcoming tests they had.
"Are you doing anything tonight?" He asked sounding casual.
She chuckled, "Besides hanging out with you, no. Why?"
"Do you want to go out tonight? Like for dinner or anything?"
Ginny made a fake shocked face, "Why, Mr. Malfoy, are you asking little ol' me out on a date when you know better than anyone else that I have a boyfriend?"
Draco shrugged, "I just thought that you would like to go out for a little while. I mean, you look kind of sad so I thought that dinner or something would cheer you up a bit."
"Aww that's so sweet of you Draco. I would love to go ." She replied even though she knew that she shouldn't. But its only a friend to friend thing. It's not like anything is going to happen tonight. Draco knows that I'm going out with Blaise. He wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our relationship.
That night, the two of them headed out under Draco's invisibility cloak. They went to a small but homey, Italian restaurant in Hogsmeade. Blaise had taken her there a few times. They both ordered a small meal and Draco ordered two cups of wine. They both liked beer better, but because they were in a restaurant they didn't feel that it was appropriate to drink beer.
"Thank you so much for taking me out tonight Draco. I really appreciate it." Ginny said as she sipped her wine.
"No problem. You just looked so lonely." He teased.
She glared at him, "Don't even Draco."
"What?" He asked innocently. "Oh hey, I forgot what you ordered, what was it again?"
"Fettuccine Alfredo."
He chuckled at this, "You always get the same thing every time you go to an Italian restaurant."
"I do not."
"Yes, you do. Remember when a group of us went to that Italian restaurant in Hogshead?"
She nodded, and bit her lip.
"And do you remember what you ordered there?"
Ginny sighed, "OK, so I like Fettuccine Alfredo. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Draco out his hands up in defense, "Of course not. I think that you should try other dishes, but if you like Fettuccine Alfredo that much, go for it."
She chuckled and took a sip of her wine. Subconsciously, they were both doing the same thing and staring deeply into each others eyes. Though, they didn't notice it. When they put down their cups, they smiled at the other.
Once Draco reached the confines of his room, he pulled the curtains up and took out his notebook where he continued with his poem.
A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose -
The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows.
Yet still lovely is the flower
Despite the thorns that prick
Just as life and love are sweet
They too have thorns that stick.
The last two days breezed by nice and calm. Tonight is the night of the Christmas Ball, a few days before the actual day of Christmas, and everyone was either in their dorms getting ready or in their friends dorms, getting ready. Ginny had decided to let Pansy and her friends have the room today. And she went to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She didn't mind getting ready in a haunted bathroom, she just wanted peace and quiet so she could do everything just as she wanted to without getting bumped into.
She was grinning widely as she put her dress on. But it disappeared off her face when she realized that she couldn't quite zip up the back. She tried as hard as she could, but no avail. "I'm sorry I can't help you. If I could I would." The creepy voice that belonged to Moaning Myrtle rang through out the bathroom. Ginny spun around and smile thankfully. "It's fine Myrtle. I know someone who can help me. I just need you to do me a favor and go get him for me."
A few minutes later, the door swung open and in came Draco, huffing and puffing. "What's...wrong?" He asked panicked. Ginny giggled and walked over to him. "I'm fine. I just need your help." She tuned around and pulled up her hair.
Draco sighed, "Geez, Myrtle made it sound like you were going to die or something." He put his hand on the zipper and the other hand on her waist. Slowly, he pulled the zipper up, his fingers lightly brushing her back, sending chills up her spine. Once he finished his task, Ginny put her hair down and turned to face him.
She hadn't put her make up on yet, but she looked gorgeous to him. With her hair slightly wavy, her chocolate brown eyes glistening, the way she stood with her eyes looking down at the floor, her lips caught between her teeth, her hands behind her back; it just made him want to pull her into his arms and make out with her until she couldn't stand anymore. "I haven'tgotten around to putting my make up on yet, so I probably don't look good but-" She murmured to her feet.
He put a finger under her chin and made her eyes meet his, "You look beautiful without make up."
She smiled, blushed and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her hair. "Thank you." She walked over to the sink that she was working with and began to do her hair. As she was doing it, Draco leaned against the door of a bathroom stall and watched her. Merlin, she's breath taking. Blaise better not screw with her.
As Ginny was doing her hair she thought to herself, Wow, Draco is so sweet and hot. Especially in that suit. "So who are you taking to the dance?" She asked casually even though she felt a pang of...was that hurt, jealousy?
She saw him shrugged, "I forgot. Some girl named Holly or something like that." Her jaw dropped, (Maybe he's not so sweet after all.) She spun around and stormed over to him. He inwardly groaned and tried to fight his emotions. She looked so hot the way she was walking over to him. Her hands on her hips, her eyes blazing, her lips tightly sealed. God, he just wanted to rip her dress off and have his way with her so bad.
Once she was close enough, she started jabbing his chest. "How dare you Draco Malfoy? Forget your date's name? That poor girl is going to be so devested when you say her name and it's not hers. How would you like it if someone called you...Doug instead of Draco?"
He wasn't quite listening to her, but watching her chest rose up every time she inhaled and declined every time she exhaled. "Draco? Draco? Are you even listening to me?"
He looked up and smirked. "I'm sorry?"
Her eyes widened and she threw her hands up in defeat, "Fine, Draco. See if I care when your date slaps you in the face for calling her the wrong name." She was about to turn around and continue putting her make up on, when he grabbed her wrist and kissed her full on the lips.
She tensed up at first, but after a few seconds she started to enjoy the kiss. She pushed him against the wall and began to tug at his shirt. He got the message and helped her untuck his shirt. She put her hands under his shirt and ran her hand over his rock hard stomach, over his chest and around his back. He groaned to this and he spun them around and pinned her against the wall. He released her hair and ran his fingers through it.
She knew she had to stop, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. This felt so good, it was like her body yearned for it. Even though she and Blaise have done this kind of thing to each other, nothing they did could even come close to how she felt when she did it with Draco. He brought his hands down from her hair and slowly slid down her neck, over her shoulders around to her back to the zipper that he had, not too long ago, zipped up for her.
Before they went further, he pulled away and looked her square in the eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this?" He whisper.
She smirked and said, "What? The great Draco Malfoy is afraid?"
He cocked a brow, "I'll take that as a yes." He slowly kissed her.
An hour and a half later, clothes were scattered everywhere and in the middle of the girls bathroom lay Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasely, naked, panting. Ginny was in Draco's arms thinking, Wow, that was...wow.
After a few minutes of panting, Draco asked, "Are you OK?"
Ginny chuckled, "Just barely. Here, I thought I'd seen, and felt it all."
Draco smirked, "A Malfoy looks different and feels different."
She rolled her eyes and turned to face him. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest. "Are you OK?" She asked, eyes still closed.
"Physically, I'm great. But mentally, I'm falling apart." He whispered in her hair and kissed her forehead. He stood up and gathered his clothes and went to the bathroom to get dressed.
Ginny sat up and began to gather her clothes and get dressed also. Oh my god, I can't believe I did that. She thought as everything began to kick in. I have a boyfriend. A great boyfriend. Oh my god! Once she got everything on, which took quite a while, she came out trying to zip up her zipper. She was surprised to see that Draco was still there.
She licked her lips and looked at the floor. "Um... Can you zip this for me, again?'
He nodded and helped her, this time he didn't touch her in anyway. Yet, she still felt the same chills she felt before as his breath tickled her exposed neck. Once he was done she walked over to the mirror and started to reapply her make up and fix her hair.
Draco walked over to her and placed his hands on her hips. He bent down to her ear and said, "I know that you probably regret what we just did, but I don't. I love you, Ginny. But I will not come between you and Blaise, if you truly love each other. In the early morning hour, Just before dawn, lover and beloved wake and takes a drink of water. She asks, 'Do you love me or yourself more? Really, tell the absolute truth.' He says, 'There is nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise, Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to the sunlight.'" He pulled out a rectangular box out of his pocket and put next to the sink. "See you later." He lightly kissed her shoulder and left.
Once Ginny heard the door close, she looked up at the mirror and looked at her reflection. Her eyes were glassy, her lips plump, and her cheek a light tinge of pink. How did he know about the poem? Did Blaise tell him? She looked down to the black, velvet rectangular box and swallowed hard. She wanted to open the box and see what was inside, but then she didn't.
Her heart took the best of her and she slowly reached over to it and opened it. Her breath escaped her as her eyes took in the sight that was before her. In the box lay a gold chain that was dotted with rubies and diamonds. She gingerly took out the necklace and laid it against her neck. It was gorgeous. It made her eyes stand out, her hair seemed reder, and it went beautifully with her dress. But I can't wear it, if Blaise asks where I got it, I don't know what I'm going to say.
She was going to put it back into the box until something sticking out of the box caught her eye.
A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose -
The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows.
Yet still lovely is the flower
Despite the thorns that prick
Just as life and love are sweet
They too have thorns that stick.
But do not fear to live or love,
Life's not exempt from pain -
So pick a rose, you may get hurt,
But you will also gain!
Once she finished reading the poem, her eyes were leaking large droplets of water and a rose suddenly appear in the box. She put the poem down and picked up the rose, but dropped it once she felt the prick of a thorn. She smiled sadly as more tears slid from her eyes.
She entered the Great Hall by herself that night. She took a good look around the room and smiled sadly. Everyone was either happily dancing with their partner or sitting, closely, next to each other, whispering sweet nothings in one another's ear. She walked over to the drinks table and poured herself something.
As she was walking across the room, someone was sitting in the corner of the room watching her. Merlin, she's beautiful. He watched as she poured herself a drink and sat at empty table. She was playing with something along the collar of her neck, but he didn't think twice about it. He stood up and walked over to her. His face hidden behind a mask.
Ginny felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around, expecting it to be the face of her boyfriend. But almost screamed out in horror as she came face to face with this black masked person. "Oh Merlin." She placed a hand over her pounding chest. "Hi, um... Did you need something?" She asked politely.
Mutely, he nodded and signaled for her to follow him. She did as she was asked. He lead her out to the back where once again, her breath evaded her. The bushes were covered with red roses, and it was in the formation of a large heart, and they were in the middle of it.
The masked figure took off his mask to reveal a scared and bruised face of Blaise Zabini. Ginny gasped and almost took a step back. Her eyes filled with tears as she brought a shaking hand to his face and gingerly ran her fingers over his scars and bruises. "What happened?" She choked.
He looked down, ashamed and muttered, "I'm that ugly huh?"
She bit her lip and shook her head, "No." She whispered and took his hands in hers. "No, you're beautiful. I just, I'm just," She paused, "I'm so happy to see you that it doesn't matter how you look like because in my eyes, you will always be the handsome man that I fell in love with."
He looked up with his eyes filled with hope and relief. "You mean it? You love me?"
She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I love you Blaise Zabini." He smiled back and they kissed. He was about to deepen the kiss but she pulled away. "Not now." She whispered.
"OK, do you want to dance?"
She smiled and took his hand. "Yes, I would love to." The couple walked into the ballroom and danced close together, slowly and enjoyed the others warmth. After a few hours of dancing, Dumbledore had announced that the night had come to an end and the men may walk their dates back to their dorms.
Ginny and Blaise walked hand in hand to the Room of Requirement where they sat on the couch and talked about what happened over the last week.
"I went home where I stayed one night. I packed the essentials and left the house before dawn. I flew to Ireland, by broom. I went to this magic museum where I had been given the task to retrieve this diamond." He stopped for a moment and glanced at his girlfriend's face.
"Why don't you just tell me the name of the museum and this diamond? And did you of all people have to get it?"
Blaise sighed, "About a year ago, my parents got on the bad side of Voldemort. He threatened to kill them and I if he didn't get his diamond. My parents promised that they would, but they couldn't get it. So they sent me. I can't tell you the specifics because I don't want to get you into this. At least not more than I already have."
"What are you talking about?"
"Voldemort has something planned. Something to do with that diamond. And I don't think it's good."
"So you got the diamond for him even though you knew that it was for a bad cause?"
He sighed and nodded, "I had to. Otherwise he would have killed my parents and me. Please, understand, I couldn't leave without saying good bye to you."
For some reason Ginny didn't feel that he was being honest, but she didn't say anything. "OK, fine. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Did you tell Draco about that poem you gave to me last week?"
He looked at her with confusion written all over his face. "No, why?"
She laughed, "No reason." Then why did he recite it? So clear and on point? She had read the poem a million times and memorized it so when she heard Draco say it, she instantly recognized it.
"OK. So what have you done this week?"
She shrugged, "Nothing. I've just been hanging out with Draco and doing school work and missing you."
He hugged her close to him and sighed, "I missed you too."
The next day, Ginny woke up feeling the best she's felt since the beginning of the year. She stood up to stretch and as she looked out her window, a frown dawned her face. The sky was a depressing gray, making it look like it was going to rain sometimethat day. She sighed and looked around her room to find that it was empty. She rolled her eyes and started to get ready for the day.
An hour later, she bounded into the boy's dormitory. She smiled as she ripped open the curtains that stood between her and her love. She giggled as her eyes fell upon her boyfriend. He was bare chested, and hugging his pillow to his chest, snoring softy. She bit her lip as she gently removed the pillow and replaced it with her body.
Instantly, Blaise pulled her closer to him and buried his head in her hair. "Morning, baby." He whispered.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around him, "Morning."
Without opening his eyes he asked, "Do you really love me?"
She frowned slightly, "Of course, why wouldn't I?"
He slowly opened his eyes, "Even though I look like this?"
She gasped, "Yes, I'd love you even if you looked like an ogre."
"But I don't look an ogre. I look like this. Do you love me even though I look like this?"
"Yes, I will always love you no matter how you look."
He smiled a smile of relief and kissed the tip of her nose. "I love you too."
Two hours later, the couple walked hand in hand into the Great Hall for a late breakfast. Even though it was almost twelve in the afternoon, the room was packed with students. Everyone woke up late because of the night before.
They sat in their usual seats and ate. When they finished eating, Blaise turned to Ginny and took her hands in his, "I'm sorry. I know that I just came back and we have so much to catch up on. But I have to go and talk to Dumbledore. But when I'm done, I'll come find you, OK?"
Ginny nodded, "Of course. I'll see you later then?" He kissed her and left. She looked down at her plate and sighed. She had just lost her appetite. She reached over to get her purse, but was interrupted when someone sat in the vacant seat next to her. "So, was it good?"
Ginny groaned, "Pansy, right now isn't the time." She threw her purse on and started for the doors.
"Just tell me if it was good."
Ginny spun around and asked, "What are you talking about? What was good?"
Pansy walked over to her and whispered in her ear, "Was Draco a good lay?"
Ginny gulped. She hadn't really thought about it. She didn't want to. She wanted to pretend that it never happened. She closed her eyes and counted to ten.
Pansy nodded and chuckled, "That good huh?"
Ginny's eyes flew open. She grabbed Pansy's wrist and pulled her out of the Great Hall. She slammed her against the wall and questioned, "How do you know?"
Pansy smiled wickedly, "Don't you remember what I told you that other day? No matter how much you think you know Draco, you don't know him at all. He and I have known each other longer than you've been alive. Do really think that he would keep his mouth closed?"
"I might not know him as long as you, but I know him better. He wouldn't tell anyone let alone you."
Pansy threw her head back and laughed maniacally. "Then how do I know sweetie, if he didn't tell me?"
Later on that night, Ginny was in her dorm listening to music, when the door flew open. She looked up, surprised, but smiled as her boyfriend entered her room. She slid the headphones off and cocked a brow, "What are you doing here?"
He sat on her bed, and wrapped his arms around her. "What? I'm not allowed into your dorm even though you snuck in mine this morning?"
She put a hand on his chest and gently pushed him so that he was lying on his back. "Of course you're allowed here." She threw her legs over him and laid down on his body. He put his hands into her back pockets ofher jeansand kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you too." She replied without hesitation. She closed her eyes and snuggled deeper into him.
They fell asleep in each other's arm that night, each dreaming of the other.
The next morning, Ginny was woken up to the pounding sound of raindrops on her window. She groaned and buried her head in Blaise's chest. "God, I hate the rain." She mumbled.
"Me too." Blaise mumbled back. "Go back to sleep." He took his hands out of her pockets and started to draw circles on her back to get her to go back to sleep.
"Aww, that's so cute. The slut is back in the arms of her boyfriend."
Ginny's head flew up and she glared at Pansy. "Leave." She said venomously.
Pansy smirked, "No, I don't think so. This is my room too and I won't let a slut like you tell me what to do."
Blaise gently pushed Ginny off him and he sat up. "Don't call her that again. You hear me?"
Pansy ignored him and said, "So I guess you didn't tell him. Are you ever going to?"
Blaise's eye brows raised as he turned to Ginny and asked, "Tell me what?"
Ginny stood up and tackled Pansy to the floor. "Shut up!" Blaise jumped up and pulled his girlfriend off the other girl. "Stop, Gin. You can get expelled for fighting."
Pansy stood up and dusted herself off. "You have him wrapped around your little finger don't you. Just like Draco. So who's better?"
Blaise looked at his girlfriend confused. What the hell? Who's better...?
"Get out!" Ginny screamed.
Pansy licked her lips and said, "I don't want to." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Mother like daughter. So are you pregnant with his baby? Because if you are, then you and your mother must be really close."
Ginny gritted her teeth and fisted her hands. "Shut up."
"You never answered my question. Who's better? Draco or Blaise? Who was the better-" She never got to finish her sentence because Ginny tackled her to the floor and started pounding her face in.
"I - TOLD- YOU- TO- SHUT- UP! BUT-DID-YOU-LISTEN? NO!-" With every word, her punches became harder and deeper. She was going to continue punching the day lights out of Pansy but she was pulled off.
"Stop Ginny!" He had picked her up and carried her all the way to his room.
Once she calmed down, he put her on the floor and started to examine her to make sure that she didn't get hurt. Even though he knew that Pansy didn't touch her. When he was done, he sat her down on his bed and sighed. "You can't do that."
"I know." She whispered looking at her hands.
"Fighting isn't going to solve anything."
Once again she muttered, "I know."
He ran his hand through his hair and sat next to her. "Please tell me that you didn't sleep with my best friend." He whispered mono toned.
Ginny closed her eyes and said, "I'm sorry."
Blaise stood up and looked at her. He saw that she was serious. His breathing increase and swallowed hard. "When?"
"The night of the dance."
His heart stopped. "Were you ever going to tell me?"
She bit her lip and stood up, "It was a mistake. I missed you-"
"So you decided to go and sleep with my best friend? You couldn't wait for me. For one week?" He whispered.
Ginny started to cry and shake her head, "I'm sor-"
He held up his hand and ran out of the room. She followed him. He had longer legs then her so he was a good 7 feet ahead of her. He threw open the doors and ran out to the quidditch pitch. He didn't stop until his chest hurt so bad that it felt like it was going to burst and his legs felt like they were going to fall off. He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, letting the raindrops fall on his face.
"Blaise." She panted as she stood in front of him. "I love you and I made a mistake. I'm sorry."
He looked down at her with unreadable eyes and said, "If you love me, then you wouldn't have made that mistake. And you're not sorry. Because if you were then you would have told me last night. But you weren't going to tell me at all. You were going to hide it."
She shook her head, tears were rolling down her face. "No, I was. I didn't want to tell you so soon because you just came back and I didn't want you to leave again."
"I didn't leave because of you."
"Yes, but if I told you then you would leave and that would be because of me." They stood there looking into each other's eyes. Both heart broken.
Rain was pouring all over them, around them, everywhere; but they didn't care. All they cared about was the matter at hand. Both breathing in short, rapid, harsh breaths.
"Blaise, I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean to. It just..." She couldn't finish the sentence. She didn't know why she did it. It was killing her to see him like this. And she did it to him. She is just like her.
"But you did." He whispered. "You did hurt me...whether or not you meant to. You did."
"I'm sorry."
He looked down at his feet, trying to hide the tears that were starting to cascade down his face. He couldn't believe that she would do this to him. It hurt him so bad. Was she trying to make him feel guilty for all those girls he had cheated on? If she was, it was working. He loved her and she went and did this to him. How could she? Did he want to know the answer to those questions today? It would only break his heart more.
As he was thinking, she kept on repeating the same words over and over again. "I'm sorry." He wanted so badly to forgive her, but he couldn't. She hurt him, along with his best friend. He looked at her with unreadable eyes. "I have to go. Don't follow me, don't come looking for me. If you do, I won't hesitate to kill you." He whispered in her ear. His voice was full of hatred. He turned around and left. Ginny fell to her knees and cried her heart out.
After hours of crying she felt someone wrap its arms around her. "I'm sorry."
She looked up and glared at him. "Why did you tell her!" She stood up.
"Tell who?" Draco stood up.
"Why did you tell PANSY PARKINSON that we slept together?"
"I didn't. I don't talk to her. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell her!"
"Then how did she know?" She fell to her knees once again and cried even harder. Her body was shaking.
He sat down next to her and said, "I don't know, but you and I both know that she has her ways of finding out and we may never know." He wrapped his arms around her and held her to him even though she fought long and hard to get out of his grasp. She bit, scratched, screamed, begged, cried, everything that she could possibly do.
Once she gave in, he started to rub her arms and her back until she fell asleep. Then he carried her across the field and up the stairs and into her room. He sighed and debated with himself whether or not he should change her but thought better of it. Instead he dried her clothes with his wand and casted a slight warming charm around her. He looked at her was sad eyes. "I'm sorry." He whispered as he bent down and kissed her forehead.

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in like three months and I'm sorry. I really wanted this chapter to be the best it could be. And I feel that it is. It's the longest chapter I have ever posted, and contains so much drama and a bit of angst and I hope that I haven't disgusted anyone with the love scenes. It's different and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you have nothing good to say about this story or chapter or about me, then don't review. Because it's not welcomed right now. As for those of you who don't say horrible things about my story, please review and say as much as you want. Tell me what you liked/disliked most about this chapter. Anyways, see you all next time. (Thinking about changing the pairing. Give me your thoughts.)
Next time on Accidental Love
"It was all me! He did nothing! Believe when I say that I love you!"
"Hi, I'd like to return this."
The jeweler looked up at the young man and then at the box. He nodded sadly. "I am sorry."
He nodded, "I am too."
Oh God, this can't be right. She looked at the calendar and ran to the bathroom.
