I love all my readers, you all rock my socks to the point of extinction. RIP poor socks.
I hope you enjoy this! Tad bit predictable but hey, I'm young I can get away with that now. READ AND REVIEW:..
Under the thick grey blanket the outline of a body could be seen stirring. Ron stood in the doorframe of the room Ginny slept in while they were in the Black House, used for the Order of the Phoenix. He could hear quiet sobs and shaking breaths being drawn in from beneath the blanket.
It had been two weeks since Draco's funeral and Ginny was a wreck. As strong as she was she had never felt this broken before, and it was taking a toll on her slowly. She rarely left her room and when she did she merely sat on the stairs, staring at a ring on her finger she wouldn't show to anyone. Ron watched his sisters body shift under the covers and felt a pang of guilt inside of him.
"I never really tried to understand." he thought to himself bitterly. "Some big brother you are, you lousy git." Ron had been being eaten up inside by his guilt, for not paying enough attention to his sister during school. What made it worse is it seemed she was used to it and told him not to apologize, she was being as nice to him as ever while she was breaking.
Ron closed the door, crossed the room quietly and sat down on the side of her bed. Slowly he pulled back the cover to reveal a mass of deep red hair falling out of a ponytail, milky white skin that was tinged with grey and chocolate brown eyes that appeared bruised from the constant tears.
"Hey Gin." he said quietly. His sister looked up and forced herself to smile weakly, sitting up and wiping her eyes on her hands she nodded to him.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you come in." she choked. She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply and wrapped her arms around her legs. "What do you need?"
"Er, well nothing. I just get worried about you, you know? I mean I never really got why you were with him but I can tell you're hurting something horrible." he shrugged, not letting his eyes leave her face. Ginny could read his look easily, a mix of guilt and worry was laying like a veil across his face. Delicate, but still there.
Ginny hugged her brother tightly with the same weak smile she had been carrying around since Draco's death. The one she made to try and make people stop worrying, they didn't need to know she felt like her insides seemed to die with him.
"There's some good things about him dy-" she paused and inhaled deeply again. ".about his death. He never wanted to be a Death Eater, in some way this was sort of a way around it." she sighed. Several more tears slipped out of her eyes.
Ron awkwardly patted her head which made her laugh, for the first time in a long time. Ron noticed she kept glancing down at the silver ring on her finger he could now see up close. There was a bit of silence until Ginny spoke again.
"Did Hermione tell you what to say to me?" she asked. Ron turned a bright shade of scarlet and scratched his forehead.
"No! No, of course not." he said with a bit of a grin.
"Liar." she smacked him lightly with her hand. In response he pulled on her hair a little lighter then he usually would.
"How about we get out of the house? Go for a walk in the sun or something?" Ron asked. Ginny sighed and nodded.
"I haven't left the house in weeks, it'd be nice to get outside." she said glancing out the ancient and somewhat unstable looking window. "Ron, it means a lot that you're trying to understand. Even though you disliked Draco." she said. Ron just smiled and helped her to her feet as they heard voices downstairs.
"Oh no, Snape is here." Ron groaned as they walked out of the room. "I don't want to be told how bloody horrible my future is going to be because I didn't take the last year of potions." he grimaced.
Ginny glanced over the railing seeing Snape speaking with her parents and a brown haired man she hadn't seen before. As Ginny went down the stairs the stranger moved his gaze directly away from her.
"Oh Ginny, honey, are you going somewhere?" Molly Weasley asked looking at her daughter carefully. Ginny nodded motioning to the door. She smiled weakly at her dad and said Hello to professor Snape a little warmer than she usually would have. She knew Draco respected him and they both had the loss of him in common, it seemed almost daily she saw him walking around the Black House or the last couple days of Hogwarts in the halls.
Ginny glanced at the side of the stranger's profile, he had a bit of a triangular nose and curly brown hair. Very long eyelashes and thin lips completed the profile along with average sized ears that had a silver hoop in the lobe.
Ginny sighed going towards the door with Ron, grabbing her coat off the giant coat rack by the door. However she stopped when she heard a bit of a strangled noise behind her. Looking back at the group of people she saw the stranger staring at her, his eyes burning into hers.
His grey eyes that seemed to burn right through her. His grey eyes that seemed to be looking at her like she was the only person in the world. Breathlessly, Ginny stared back with her lips falling apart slightly.
"..No.." she whispered quietly, but as the corner of the strangers lip twitched as if it wanted to move upwards. She screamed at the top of her lungs and tore across the entrance room throwing her arms around him.
Ginny kissed him before the cries of surprise and confusion from the others in the house were even heard by her. When he kissed her back and wrapped him arms around her Ginny felt warm tears streaming down her face, along with a single colder one from his.
This was her Draco. No question.
Ginny broke away from him unwillingly and laughed happily, and the mans lips broke into a very familiar smirk.
"What are you doing here?" he said, his voice was the same. Hearing it made Ginny feel a gigantic wave of relief and comfort wash over her. Ginny hugged him tightly and let herself cry.
"You were dead! Everyone said you were dead! Do you k-know what it's been like thinking about living without seeing you ever again?" and before he knew it she had slapped him across the face.
"Okay, I deserved that. But, ow!" he said rubbing his face. "Gin, it was the only way to get away from the Death Eaters. I'm free now." he smiled. Ginny beamed despite the tingling in her hand. The ring on her finger feeling warmer than it had in a long time.
"Why couldn't someone tell me?" she asked quietly.
"Because everyone was too busy watching you, making sure no Death Eaters laid their hands on you. Didn't you notice Snape around more often than usual after my 'death' was announced?" he asked, he had his warm hand wrapped around hers and Ginny saw her parents walk into the dining room and Snape follow after. Ron had slipped outside after he realized what was going on.
Ginny laughed and let Draco lift her into the air and spin her, ignoring the changes in his appearance but letting herself stare into his eyes almost permanently.
"I have you back." she cried quietly, burying her head into his shoulder. She let the mixture of happy and slightly betrayed tears fall out of her eyes as he held onto her tightly. Weaving his fingers through her hair and kissing her head.
"I'm not leaving you again, you don't know how badly I wanted to tell you. But I couldn't risk it, I couldn't just give in to my father, or Pansy."
"I punched Pansy, at your funeral." Ginny said, her voice muffled. Draco let out a small laugh.
" I saw, didn't you hear my bike?" he said. Ginny choked a little again and punched him gently in the arm.
"When I'm done being annoying and telling you how much I love you over and over again, I'm going to be very mad about this. I hope you know that." she grumbled. Draco smiled, tilting her head up and kissing her.
"Then I'm just going to have to kiss you everytime you try to yell at me." He smirked. Ginny beamed at the familiar sight.
"I can live with that deal." she smiled, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and kissing him feverishly.
