Chapter 12 - How to become a Malfoy?
The Great Hall was crowded as breakfast appeared on the tables. All around people were chatting except for the Gryffindors and the Slytherins. Both houses had entirely different reasons for their silence. The Gryffindors were all aggravated about Ginny's defect whilst the Slytherins were thinking about Lucius Malfoy. When Draco had returned he had notified them of his father's escape. It was only fair that they knew it before the Daily Prophet announced it. Not only did they feel sorry for Draco and confused by Lucius' apparent change of heart, but were dismayed that their leaders were obviously not coping well together. Draco and Ginevra had still not spoken to each other.
Draco sighed as he glanced out of the corner of his eye. Ginevra had one of her now infamous sneers on her face. She was staring at the Gryffindor table. Fed up with the pathetic tension, Draco's head swivelled around as he spoke.
"Ginevra, you haven't said a word about the news. You can't still be pissed off with me about yesterday. Please you have to talk to me, if not for your sake for mine; I need to know how you feel about my father's return." Draco found himself pleading softly with her; he hated her show of indifference.
Instead of returning the kindness she had just received from Draco, Ginevra's sneer became more pronounced. Slightly opening her mouth she drawled, "Some people like to think Draco; it is not a magical offence to want to remain in solitude. However, you are obviously desperate for answers. I have no feelings for your father so why should I be bothered by his return? If he has changed, then who am I to question that, look at what I have done. And lastly, I am pissed off with you because of your ignorance. I am not stupid Draco Malfoy, you must have gone to Azkaban for a reason, and I highly doubt that it was just for a little visit. I am warning you Draco if you dig up my past or bring back any memories I will not be held responsible for the consequences of your actions." Spitting out her words, she stood to leave. Draco grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.
Whispering so no one could hear, Draco replied with as much venom as Ginevra had had in her words. "Consequences Ginevra? You cannot hurt your friends for wanting to help. In Slytherin there are no secrets, it helps us connect and to protect each other. If you hide your past it will come back worse and we will not be able to stop it." Shaking with frustration at her defiance, Draco dragged her out of the hall not caring about the rest of the school. Strangely Ginevra did not protest but allowed him to pull her along the corridors until she was roughly shoved up against a stone wall. They were in one of the many niches in the dungeons. She smirked, "Draco, are you going to tell me off again? I see you have made sure that we will not be found for at least another hour." However, there was no laughter in her voice, Draco stiffened as he heard the mocking tone. Pushing her harder up against the stone wall, he growled.
"Shut up! You will tell me what happened Ginevra. This affects Blaise too, so tell me and let me sort it out. Never threaten me again Ginevra, you forget who I am" Ginevra struggled against him; she could feel all the contours of his body against hers. Enraged but wanting to be closer to him, she tried to infuriate him even more. Maybe this way she would finally get him.
"How dare you Draco Malfoy, I am your equal which you conveniently forget when you try to pull rank. I will speak to you as I wish, and whatever I wish to keep secret will remain so. Just because I am in Slytherin does not mean that I am going to conform to all your rules, you have to accept me for what I am." Ginevra retorted loudly.
Draco reacted exactly the way she had planned. Incensed beyond belief he pushed her even harder against the wall and sandwiched her between himself and the wall. "To be a Slytherin you have to follow us, you are not that special Ginevra. If you show any Gryffindor in you we will throw you out no matter how powerful you are. Just because you use your power more often don't think Blaise and I won't harness it." Ginevra growled at his threat. She knew that her power was too raw and she had to learn how to cope with it. Surrendering to Draco she softened.
"Draco please there are just some things that I am not ready to tell. I would prefer if you do not go behind my back, you will not find anything even your father does not know what happened in the chamber. I shall tell you and Blaise in time and you will have to be satisfied with that." Sensing Draco's pleasure at her obedience she smirked, "But since we're here maybe you could teach me a bit about my power, maybe how to combine them..."
Draco laughed at the sudden shift in her, "Ginevra honestly, I think Blaise might notice if he is suddenly hit with my magic when he is with you!" Ginevra slid up onto her tiptoes so she was slightly taller and in the perfect position to –
"Ginny! Get off her you slimy ferret!" Ron, Harry and Hermione had come barging through the dungeons and were standing in the concealed entrance of the niche. Harry and Ron were bright red with anger. Ginevra calmly looked at all three and smirked.
"Ah, the Marauders Map, how could I have forgotten that? Spying were you, honestly Harry I thought you were supposed to be a noble Gryffindor, I don't think that Slytherin will accept you even if you have its qualities!" Whilst speaking her hands had slightly shifted and were resting on Draco's hips.
I take it that you don't want me to move, little one! Lead on Ginevra I can already tell that you have an idea forming in that head of yours.
Ginevra just pulled him closer, if that was at all possible. Almost sharing breaths, she stared deep into Draco's eyes but continued to address the Golden Trio. "I'm still waiting for your excuse Ron. I'm sure that you have a reason for barging in on my private conversation with Draco." Ron started to visibly shake, he spluttered while he tried to answer her.
"Ginny, come on, we saw him drag you out the hall, you're my little sister I just want to protect you. We weren't spying Gin, please just listen on the map it showed Malfoy cornering you and he's probably got you under some spell to say all this stuff coz it looked like you were struggling. Ginny, you have to come back with us, please?" Ron's voice was almost whining, Ginevra just sneered.
"Ron, you have to get this through your head somehow, I am a Slytherin and I am not under any magical influence. I would like to see someone try to do that to me. I always thought that my family would be with me no matter what but all you can say is that I am still part of the family once I have gone back to normal. Can't you see that this is normal for me? It's not my fault that you all ignored me for the past six years! You are no longer my family and I give you my permission to tell mum that, not that you wouldn't anyway, you were always the sneak in the family! From now on, I advise you to not look at that Map too regularly, otherwise you might see something that will probably scar you for life, oh wait I forgot, Harry you're already scarred!" Draco sniggered, Ginevra was ranting now, and he couldn't wait to hear what she would say next. She had already renounced her family which would mean that she could be his!
Ginevra smiled as she heard Draco laugh, but continued to end her little tantrum. "I have a boyfriend, Weasel, so take that hint unless you want to see two figures together one day on that map, preferably me underneath..., now be gone, and let me finish my business with Draco." With those words she slid her hands up Draco's chest caressing him with her fingers until they reached his face. She pulled him down towards her, and placed light butterfly kisses on his lips. After a few seconds she slipped her tongue in between his lips and Draco groaned. Both became oblivious to their surroundings.
Harry forcibly pulled Ron out of the dungeons and Hermione followed with a shocked expression on her face. She couldn't believe that Ginny had done that. She was only a sixth year yet seemed to be so promiscuous. First Blaise, and now Draco, what had happened to her?
Meanwhile, Draco and Ginny were so immersed in their kiss that they hadn't noticed that the show should have finished. Draco pushed Ginny up the wall so her body slot into his. Ginny's feet weren't even touching the ground, moaning she lifted her legs and wrapped them around Draco's hips. She could feel him underneath her. Using the wall as a support she slowly started to grind against him revelling in his reaction. Draco couldn't believe what was happening, she tasted so sweet pushing his tongue further into her while she wriggled against him, Draco had never felt so aroused. His hands swept up her body; surprisingly it was rather curvaceous. His fingers nimbly tore open the front of her robes. To his delight she was just wearing her robes; his lips replaced his finger at her throat. Draco could hear her shallow breaths coming faster and faster, she kept sighing and running her hands through his hair. Having had enough of teasing her, his hands ran up her soft thighs, and as he moved to enter her, he was shoved away with a scream.
Ginevra fell on the floor panting. Pushing her hair out of her eyes, she saw that Draco had already recovered from being violently thrown back and was standing over her with murder in his eyes.
"Get up, you're fine." Draco snarled as he saw her shiver, there was nothing wrong with her. Ginevra staggered as she got up and grasped the wall to steady her. "I know I'm fine Draco, so don't take that tone with me, lets just get back to the Common Room." Sighing Ginevra turned to walk down the corridor, when her wrist was grabbed painfully by Draco. Without turning she softly said, "Not here, Draco." Draco heard her words and growled. Storming down the passage ahead of Ginevra he stopped at a different portrait of Salazar Slytherin. Salazar grinned as he saw the pair, and it opened automatically without a password.
Stepping through Ginevra realised that they were back in Draco's chambers. Confused she turned to Draco who was standing in her bedchamber doorway with the door held open. "Witches first," and with a sneer he slammed the door behind them as soon as she had entered the room. Pushing her towards the bed, the ivy magically parted and made room for Draco to fling Ginevra onto the bed covers. Using his weight he pinned her arms down while his magic bound her. Smirking at his handiwork he sat next to the prostrate Ginevra and just looked at her.
Ginevra knew that something like this was going to have happened. She and Draco were exactly the same, both irrational creatures. Waiting for him to shout at her, she stared back into his eyes.
Luckily she didn't have to wait too long as Draco had reached the end of his tether. "You are a true Slytherin Ginevra, a Slytherin whore in the making just like the rest. But at least they have decency to go through with what they started, but you, you have to play both Blaise and I along. I told you I don't like you like that, and if you persist in trying I will just screw you senseless not giving a shit about your protests, do I make myself clear? Back off Ginevra, and I mean that if you want to stay celibate because normal boys can't take your insanity." Ginevra just smirked. Her power snapped his bonds easily, and she sat up next to him. Running her hands through his hair, she frowned as he flinched.
"Draco, I'm not trying to lead you on and I am certainly not a whore. I just have a problem which I need to deal with by myself." Ginevra slid off the bed and onto her knees in front of Draco. His lips slightly formed a smile at her gesture. Pulling her up onto his lap, he held her gently as if to show her that he understood what she was going through. Ginevra rested her head upon his shoulder and closed her eyes as Draco rhythmically stroked her head softly. Her red curls were like a little peace of heaven for Draco. He sighed as his arms embraced her, they were perfect together and he would be able to look after her.
Nevertheless, Draco found all familial thoughts of Ginevra being pushed aside. His mind focused on what had occurred previous to their argument. With that memory playing in his mind Draco began to feel slightly aroused. Fighting his body, Draco couldn't believe this was happening; he was acting like a hormonal boy without experience. His struggle was useless though, with the added warmth of actually having Ginevra on his lap and wrapped around him, he couldn't get rid of the embarrassing evidence of his lust.
Resigned to the fact that he was going to have to either stay sitting in this rather uncomfortable position or lay Ginevra down on the bed without disturbing her, Draco tried to think rationally which was surprisingly hard at the moment. Whilst deliberating, the door to the chamber flew open and revealed an unwelcome figure.
Awoken from her slumber Ginevra saw Lucius Malfoy in the doorway and noticed that Draco was glaring at him evilly. "My, my, what a cosy picture you two present! If I didn't know that you two were to be related I would have immediately thought of something else." Lucius smirked and Ginevra tried to stifle her laughter at seeing the two Malfoys with identical smirks on their faces.
"Now Father, I thought you said that you'd changed all your old ways, i see that twisted thoughts were not part of that." And so the barbed bantering began, Ginevra drew a sharp breath as she realised how tense the atmosphere was. Inwardly groaning she knew that it was up to her to diffuse the situation. On her feet swiftly she subtly let a few threads of power escape and they twirled themselves around Draco and Lucius. Neither had noticed. Ginevra smiled, this was going to be easier than she had thought! Gradually making her way towards Lucius, she stopped just in front of him.
Oddly, she had thought that she would be nervous meeting the person who had ruined her life, but she felt nothing. As she stood so close to him, her eyes registered his muscle and physique through his robes. Her head slowly travelled up his body until she found his eyes. Ginevra was jolted out of her calm, as she saw the intensity in his liquid silver eyes. Draco's were nothing compared to his, Lucius had slashes of pale blue in his eyes and he seemed to be staring right through her. "Lady Weasley, were you not taught that it was impolite to stare?" She smirked as she heard his languid drawl. Replying in kind, Ginevra didn't break eye contact with him. "Ah, but Lord Malfoy, you must understand that when one is shown something surreal in normal surroundings, one has to take advantage of the situation and take one's fill of the object." Sliding her tongue over her lips, she saw Lucius Malfoy's eyes shine with hidden amusement.
"A surreal object, Lady Weasley, why you have flattered me beyond comprehension, I do believe I have never been called that in my entire life." Lucius could not help but mentally applaud his son; he knew how to choose women. This one had nobility, beauty and wit; three attributes which were rare in any women let alone a witch.
Ginevra did not disappoint him with her reply, she enjoyed sparring with him. "Lord Malfoy, flattery is for the obsolete, I merely speak the truth." Both of their magical auras tingled as the intensity of their gazes grew stronger. Draco growled, he couldn't believe that Ginevra was flirting with his father. Trying to get up he found himself unable to move. Losing his temper yet again, "Ginevra remove these bonds right now, I warned you, you are not allowed to use your magic against me." Ginevra just laughed at his predicament and so did Lucius, until he realised that he couldn't move either.
Ginvera moved away from both Malfoys chuckling to herself. Both of them were sneering at her. Luckily for her Draco hadn't found a way out of her paralytic bonds yet. "I will release both of you when you have discussed your differences courteously and have made some sort of agreement." Slumping into an armchair she waited for one of them to start talking.
Lucius knew that he had been trapped, and acknowledged that there was no use in becoming frustrated. "Congratulations, you will become a fine Malfoy." Ginevra just stared at him blankly. She had no idea what he was talking about.
Think, little one, he knows about my proposal of the transferral of blood lines. He's referring to that. The offer is still open by the way since you have rejected your family.
Ginevra scowled, she hated it when Draco just barged into her mind like he had a right to enter her head whenever he pleased.
"Lord Malfoy, I have no intention in becoming a Malfoy. One, you have no female legacies in your family so i would have to become plain Miss Malfoy. Two, whether I have renounced them or not, I still have a family. Lastly my third objection is that I would not want Draco as a brother!" Smiling, she saw Draco recoil at her last words. She hadn't meant them hurtfully but how could she become his sister when all she would do is have incestuous feelings towards him?
Lucius was inwardly shouting for joy, on the outside his face showed no emotion. He walked towards Ginevra. She gasped as she saw that he had overcome her bond without any effort at all. He focused completely on her, and she stood her ground waiting until he was almost on top of her.
Draco equally annoyed at his father and his dominance over Ginevra, interrupted their silent battle.
"I thought you were supposed to be hiding Father, coming here in broad daylight is hardly lying low." Lucius ignored Draco's accusatory tone, he knew it was just jealousy. "Draco, if you read today's paper you would see that I have been acquitted of my crimes and of my imprisonment sentence. This morning I rightfully became Lord of the Manor again, and your legal Father and higher authority." At this Lucius smirked, Draco gritted his teeth almost forgetting to breathe as he saw that he would be playing second fiddle to his father again.
"What did you doFather, bribe Fudge? Didn't you know that Ginevra is deeply disgusted by those who resort to using money as a way out of things? Honestly, buying justice, do you think that's fair Father?" Draco smirked, hopefully Ginevra's attitude would change now. Lucius just smiled back, shaking his head. "Bribery, Draco? How could you even think such a thing? I just gave a little demonstration to Fudge of how unpleasant life could be with me in Azkaban, he just needed to know who was Lord. I understood from him that Lady Weasley here gave a similar display of power. I applaud you." With those words, Lucius bowed to Ginevra who held out her hand as the old custom dictated. Lucius took her tiny hand and with a distinguished twist flicked it over and placed a soft kiss on her wrist. She shivered with delight.
"As I was about to say before we were so rudely interrupted Lady Weasley, I understand your reasons for not wanting to become a Malfoy. They are all perfectly valid. However, lets not narrow our thinking, between us I'm sure we could find a more pleasurable way to becoming a Malfoy..."
"I think not, Lucius, Ginevra will be a Zabini before a Malfoy." Blaise had entered the room quietly and had picked up on the subtle interchange between Ginevra and Lucius. His warning to Lucius had no effect on him; Lucius just raised an eyebrow his features wrinkled with distaste.
"Blaise, you always knew how to time your entrances. Your father and I discussed it regularly in the past. It seems that everyone's manners are lacking in this room, it is such a shame that three illustrious bloodlines are to be weakened by discourtesies."
"Or Lucius, it may just be that you belong to the older generation. Things have changed, get used to it. Ginevra I have been waiting for you, come let's go." Blaise turned to go expecting Ginevra to follow, when he was stopped by the fury in her voice.
"Blaise, I am not or thinking about being a Zabini any time in my future life. We have not discussed this so you cannot assume anything. Nor am I pleased with the way you just walked into my bedroom as if you had a right to be here, then proceeded to interrupt my conversation with Lord Malfoy and act in a generally dismissive manner. I have never been so disgusted in my life." Turning her attention to Lucius, to the astonishment of Blaise and Draco, she addressed him. "I assume that you will want to speak to Severus and have some breakfast. I would be honoured to be your escort Lord Malfoy and we could continue discussing all the pleasurable possibilities of becoming a Malfoy!" Lucius walked out almost grinning with Ginevra following him. She turned at the doorway, and with a flick of her wrist Draco was released. Winking at both of them she seductively strolled away with an appreciative Lucius Malfoy at her side.
