Chapter 8: Don't Love Me
"I love you so much." She told him, her eyes boring themselves into his.
"Me too." He replied a second later, deep in thought.
"I wish that this would last forever." She told him.
"It can." He replied.
"Can is uncertain, but will is forever." She told him, looking up at him.
He just avoided her gaze and looked away; breaking her weak form was too hard at the moment.
"The queen! The queen's coming! Oh Lord!" Ginny wailed, squirming about.
Draco's brows were furrowed as he examined the knots binding both him and Ginny.
"Oh, Malfoy! You could do something! Anything! My 'supposedly' mother is coming! If she finds me in bed with you! Oh good Lord!" Ginny groaned frantically.
"Cool it, Weasley!" Draco commanded, his voice hard.
"Cool it? You expect to be perfectly calm and poised when I'm tied to a bed with a Malfoy! Easy for you to say, I bet you've tied girls to beds hundreds of times!" Ginny snaps.
"Shut up, Weasley! I'm trying to think!" Draco yells, as he heard the footsteps nearing.
"Think about what! We have no time to think!" Ginny hollers, scrambling to get free.
Draco cursed under his breath and murmured something inaudible. In a flash, the lace that was binding him undid themselves and he fell onto the bed.
"Malfoy! Get out of here! She's coming!" Ginny shrieks hysterical as she heard the lock on the door click.
Draco murmured another spell and was gone.
At that moment, the doors flew open and in entered the queen.
"Where is he!" The queen demands.
"Who, mother?" Ginny asks, her voice innocent.
"The one who tried to untie you!" The queen retorts.
"Mother, no one tried to untie me, but would you, please?" Ginny asked, her voice staying normal. "The lace is biting into me…"
The queen scanned the room suspiciously before abruptly nodding and muttering something under her breath, and left the room, closing the door behind her. The lace binding Ginny's arms and legs unravelled themselves. Ginny plopped onto the bed, but somehow, her bed was…hard…and it grunted?
"Huh?" Ginny asked, looking at what she was lying on. It looked like her bed…but why was it so hard?
"Weasley! Next time you fall, don't fall on me." She heard Malfoy grumble, before he fully appeared under her.
"Malfoy!" She asked in shock, jumping off of him so fast, she tripped on her skirts. "What in the bloody name of God are you doing!"
"Being invisible, until some girl try to sleep with me!" He sharply responded.
"Get out of here! I need to get out of my skirts this instant! They're crushing at my rib cages! I can barely breathe, so stop making me yell!" Ginny storms, pushing him in the direction of the door after she got up.
"You're undressing! I'd care to stay." Draco stated, smirking as his brows rose.
Ginny's face boiled as she shoved him to the door. "Go! I'm going to die soon!"
"Be realistic, Ginerva." Draco started, leaning against the door, composed. "You know you want someone to love you."
That threw her off, but her blood was boiling and after being tied in such an awkward position, the oxygen wasn't getting to her that well. Taking deep breathes, one after another and leaning onto her dressing table, she gasped to talk. "G-go…"
"You want someone to rely on, a support, not just a fad like Potter." Draco continued, seeing her disadvantage of not being able to talk back.
"L-leave! D-d-draco!" She managed to say before fainting to the floor.
Rolling his eyes, Draco took a step to her and carried her to the bed.
Ginny woke up to find her breathing relieve itself. Her body felt eased and she felt very comfortable.
"Awake at last, I see." Draco's voice had to ruin the moment. Turning, she saw him resting on the bed with his hands under his head beside her.
"W-what did you do?" She asked, shooting up from her bed to find her petticoats, corset and train all off.
"I saved you, why of course." Draco explained, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"By almost stripping me bare?" Ginny asks, her voice infuriated.
"No, I took your corset off so it won't kill you!" Draco said. She didn't know how to respond. In fact, she started to cry, there was no reason, but she did. Her eyelashes turned into triangles as they brimmed with tears.
"What's wrong, Ginerva?" Draco asked, his voice gentle, the clever mood changing.
She turned away and looked out the window, trying to hide her tears with her hair by undoing the up do.
"Ginerva, you better tell me." Draco demanded, stepping towards her.
"Go away." She said in between sobs.
He didn't reply, and as she got up to cry on her bed, she collided right into him who was standing behind her. Pulling her to him gently by grasping her arms, he looked her in the eye.
"Tell me Ginerva, now." He softly cooed.
"I-I-I don't know. I have a curse, don't love me." She murmured, looking away as her salty tears continued to fall.
Turing her head towards him with a hold of her chin, he gently laid a kiss on her.
"Stop…" Ginny was shuddering now, she turned away. "Draco, stop it! You're gonna get hurt." She pushed him away from her, and he being caught off-guard, crashed his back to the wall.
"Ginny, don't-" He started.
"Stop it!" She shouts, covering her ears with her hands. "I'm not listening!"
"Ginny…" He said, irritated that she was concerned about him.
"I'm not listening to your reasoning! I can't fall in love with you! You're gonna die! Caved in a chamber somewhere in this wretched castle! Do you want to die because of me!" She asks, her hands still plugging her ears as tears ran like a stream down her cheeks.
"Ginny…" He started again.
"Don't try to sweet talk me into it that you don't care! Because you know what! I'm bloody sick of being treated like royalty when I'm needed and like dirt when I'm useless! I'm fed up with it! With the denial when Harry doesn't need me! And don't you try to do that to me too!" She shouted, her face boiled with anger.
"Ginny-" Draco tried to say again.
"You know what? I actually just might stay here for the rest of my life! Because here, if they love me, they'll die! They'll die and be locked in! I like this place! Yes I do! Now leave! Leave me to my alone and isolated life!" She hollered, her tears inconsolable, and her eyes red.
Several moments after Ginny had finally calmed down, Draco attempted to speak again.
"Ginny, you should know I don't care about your curse because-" He started.
"GO!" She screamed, her voice sent him leaving as she slammed the door on him.
"I love you." He smirked as he finished outside the door, knowing Ginny had heard him and that his plan was commencing without a problem.
