Trusting a Malfoy
It was late, close to cerfew when Ginny left Draco's room that night, helping him cover the egg from sight. He was silent as she sat there. So was she. They had nothing to say to each other. The silence kept them there, and pushed them away at the same time.
She moved away from the room, silently making her way to the Griffindor tower. She slipped into the common room with as much stealth and nearly screamed in shock when Harry stood up. He looked as surprised as she." Err hi Ginny." He greeted her."Where have you been?"
"Fell asleep in the library." She lied."Why are you still awake?"
"Couldn't sleep." He told her."Ive been thinking, there's that Ball coming up-"
Ginny was shaking her head."No Harry. I was in love with you for long enough and now im not. Find some one else to go to the Ball with you."
Harry gaped in shock and Ginny walked upstairs." I got over you a year ago. The Chamber can do that. I cant trust you, Harry. Thankyou for the offer though." She called on the way up.
The morning came to early for her. The egg was on her mind from the moment she'd woken up. She yawned and stood to dress. As she moved to the Great Hall for breakfast she saw Harry shaking his head and talking to Ron. Ginny waved cheerfully to them and they grew confused looks. Smiling to herself she entered the Hall and sat beside the first familiar face she saw.
As she ate, she caught the steel eyes of Draco and smiled. He smirked back. Then Ginny returned to her food. Ron came over and sat across from her."Harry told me." He commented.
"Oh yeah..." Ginny comented biting into the warm pancake."And?"
"Why did you do that? Come onto him in front of evreyone like that?"
At first Ginny wasnt sure she'd heard him right."What?" She chocked.
"Why did you do that Gin, I mean, he used to respect you."
Ginny slowly stood."I should have known better then to try and be civil to him." She sighed."I hope he's worth your trust Ron. I love you." She moved as if in a daze out of the Hall. She moved towards Draco's room uncontrollably, in a desire to find the dragon egg.
She was surprised when the door opened magicaly for her. She entered the room and sat down on the end of the messy bed. She reached down when it closed again and reached under the bed. The box was magiced to be light, though Ginny knew its contents were really quite heavy. She opened it and pulled the golden egg out and onto her lap, careful not to bump her knee.
"Thought I would find you here." Draco commented."What was that big walkout for?"
"Nothing important. Harry and Ron." She carressed the egg as Draco slumped down on the bed beside her.
"Are you sure?" He asked her."You left pretty immediatly."
Ginny shrugged."Trust stuff."
"What, did Ron go through your Diary or something?" He asked with a sneer.
She smiled, surprising him."Something like that." She finally looked up at him."Thanks for telling the door to let me in."
Draco shrugged. "I like it on my hinges, and if you thought I was mistreating your precious egg it wouldnt be there for very long." He smiled slightly."Would it."
"No it wouldnt." She confessed easily. "Im glad you respect that."
Draco's hand subconciously reached out and touched the egg. He hadnt done it yet and Ginny watched his face slyly, waiting for a reaction she knew he had to have. She wasnt, however prepared for hers. She managed to supress the first shiver as his hand's ran along its surface. The second time she wasnt so lucky, it caught her of gaurd.
Draco felt her shudder against his side and turned to look at her. Immediatly the shuddering stopped. She was watching the egg. Curious Draco reached out and touched the egg softly. The touch calmed him yet seeing Ginny shudder made him playful. Her hand was slightly shaking when she ran her index finger along its surface.
The jolt was tremedous as it coursed through the very fibre of Dracos being. Ginny watched amused as he groaned. "What the hell?" He asked.
Ginny drew circles on the egg. He sat up straight, feeling them on his back."I think the Dragon has accepted us as its replacement parents." Ginny smiled innosently."I didnt know it did that to humans." She assured him.
"Would that make you stop me?" He heard himself ask.
Ginny looked thoughtful."I suppose not. Though I would have warned you." She confessed.
Draco looked at the egg thoughtfully."Is that so?"
"I dont lie Draco." She told him."Thats one thing about me. I will never lie." She promised him bluntly."Id appreciate if you could do me the same curtisy."
"Hmmm. Why would you tell me that?" He asked, taking the egg gently from her lap and placing it back in his magically sealed box.
"Because its true."She told him instantly.
Draco smirked. "Really?"
Ginny nodded and ran a hand along the egg before closing the box soundly.
"Tell me something youve never told anyone. Something thats true."He asked.
She thought for a moment."Like what?"
"I dunno, anything."
"I liked it when you kissed me, though that was kind of obvious, will that do?"She asked.
"For now." Draco smiled. He twisted sideway's and kissed her passionatly. He ran his tongue over her lip but had only reached half way when Ginny moaned into his mouth and deeepened the kiss. This time there was still the taste of mint but also a soft hint of chocolate. She reched up, tangling her fingers in his hair. She felt Draco's arms slide around her slim waist.
He moved his kiss to the tickish spot he'd found earlier. She made a noise similiar to a gasp and moan and took his lips up with her own forcibly. She bit his lower lip, then sucked it with a smile.
"To be honest, I did too." Draco confessed when they parted."Though this one was more fun."
Ginny flushed with pleasure."I agree." She looked up and noticed the clock."Shit, ive got class!"
Draco watched with amusement as she straigtened herself up.She glanced back at him."Will I see you after dinner?" She asked.
"Sure, why not?"He smirked.
