I greatly apologize for the horribly long wait, my life is in broken shards and it's painful to try and pick up the pieces... But rest assured i'm going to try very hard to finish this story! because it's so very close :P
Draco and Ginny woke together, lying in the clothes they had been wearing the day before. Draco looked happily at Ginny's sleeping figure next to him. Her eyes opened onto his and she smiled, causing Draco's heart to swell.
"Good morning… love…" He said cautiously but it only made Ginny smile more and she kissed his nose before getting up, she took off the heavy dress and was left standing in her underwear, before turning to go into the bathroom.
Draco laid back in the bed, putting his hands behind his head and thinking blissfully about his current status with Ginny.
They spent the morning in bed, Ginny dressed in comfortable jeans and a tee shirt, her hair pulled up into a messy bun, and yet Draco could not tell her enough times how beautiful she looked.
Once, when Ginny's head rested in his lap, and they were talking fondly Draco frowned, "What's wrong?" Ginny asked. Draco shook his head and said, "Last night, I'm sorry about my Father… I'm sure you were very scared, well of course you were I mean you ran away."
Ginny frowned remembering last night, she had been scared yes but that's not why she ran… He loves me? She had thought, shocked. It had been too much for her system, the one person she was trying to deny feelings for, loved her.
"Yeah… I was really… scared..." She said, she decided that perhaps sharing that fact that it was his words that had shocked her and not his father's action, could wait. Her thoughts quickly turned again, "Draco what is the plan you father got so upset about?" She asked, she hoped that now that they had confessed their love for each other, he would confide in her what her purpose was.
Draco's eyes shifted, trying to come up with something to say, he settled on lying, "It's noting love, simply nothing. I promise." The last words he uttered with regret, he'd never made a promise that he hadn't kept before.
Ginny felt as though she'd been rejected but tried not to show it, she was about to say something when a meek little house elf walked into the room he hurried to Draco and bowed low. "Here Master Draco!" He squeaked and handed him a small envelope before running out of the room, scared out of his mind.
Draco got up from the bed and paced around the room as he read. Once or twice he glanced up at Ginny nervously, then continued to read. He finished reading but remained standing, thinking deeply. After a moment Ginny asked quietly, "What is it Draco?" This seemed to pull him out of his trance and he turned, putting on a fake smile then said, "A letter from my Father, he wants to see me. Don't worry." He added the last two words after seeing Ginny's face, her eyes large and round with fear.
He walked to her and kneeled before the bed, taking her hands and kissing each one gently. "Ginny, no matter what happens between us I will never stop loving you." He said softly, continuing the assault on her pale hands.
Ginny smiled, her hair had fallen out of her bun and hung limply around her head, her dark hazel-ish eyes were shining, their earlier worries washed away.
"Ginny I want you to marry me." He said slowly, not looking at her eyes. Deep in his heart he hoped this was the right thing to do, and he hoped it would make everything right again. He heard her gasp, and couldn't help but stare into her beautiful eyes. He continued, "I love you Gin, and you love me. Will you marry me?" He asked again. Ginny, unable to process this information nodded, her mouth agape and her eyes wide as plates, and yet Draco thought she'd never looked more perfect. He stood up and wrapped her in his arms, picking her up off the bed and spinning her again. They kissed passionately and he set her back down. His eyebrows wrinkled, "I still have to go and meet my father. I will be back later." He looked around the room quickly, then gently kissed her cheek and left.
Ginny felt put out, he'd just proposed to her and now he'd run off to talk to his father. She wondered if he'd tell Voldimort of their engagement. She fidgeted around the room before standing up and opening the door slowly to follow her fiancé.
She quietly stalked after Draco, following the sound of his footprints; She stopped around a corner when she saw him open two large wooden doors, which was the entrance to his father's study.
Inside she could see Voldimort sitting at a large desk, he looked as evil and vile as ever, his finger tips touching slightly. He glared at Draco when he entered. She walked closer as the door began to close; she slid her foot between the doors, letting it, ever so slightly, leave a crack through which she could hear.
"Draco…" Voldimort said in a cold, callused voice. "We have much to speak of." She heard shuffling and assumed they had moved to the armchairs by the fire, which was lucky for her because it was only about five feet to the left of the door.
"Father, before you speak you must hear me out, the plan is coming together in ways neither you nor I could have foreseen. My performance last night was acted so well that it fooled even you."
Ginny's mind was reeling, but she tried to focus, he has to be lying… he has to… her mind thought desperately.
"I played out the whole scene perfectly, making her fall into my trap, so intricate that even you couldn't know of it." She could tell Draco was smiling smugly at his father, even through his words. "I tricked her into loving me and this morning the accepted my marriage proposal. So what have you to say now father. Call me lazy now? Tell me I'm worthless now? I think not." She saw him walk past the door and her eyes widened. He looked so… evil. She couldn't help what she did next, her broken heart was thinking for her. She'd been hurt too many times, and she finally gave in to the monsters of sorrow that were growing inside her
She slammed the door open, making both men jump. She stood her eyes on fire and her fists balled at her sides. "How could you…" She screamed, making the windows vibrate slightly. Voldimort himself stared at the small girl in awe, before quickly pulling himself together with greed and malice. "My dear, my daughter-in-law." He said, his words thick with wickedness. Her gaze was still penetrating Draco. Who she couldn't read.
Draco felt his heart shattering, and his lies falling down around him. He pleaded with his eyes, Gin, my love please understand. He thought sadly trying to convey to her what was really happening. But Voldimort got to her first.
The dark lord drew his wand and petrified her on the spot before gloating to her face. "Yes my darling, you have been tricked, and might I say by a very well thought out plan." He complimented Draco, who nodded quickly, his eyes still focused on Ginny, wishing her to read his mind.
"You will marry Draco, and the two of you will complete the prophecy… just as it said. 'Two purebloods, joined sacredly. The king of their make, leaving Darkness in his wake.'" Voldimort quoted, laughing. "Yes my darling, your child, my heir, will become the greatest wizard ever to walk this earth. Greater then even myself. And with my teaching, he will become just as I have, and just as Draco will become. The new Dark Lord." Voldimort laughed, his echo's full of wickedness. Ginny
Had Ginny been able to move she would have stabbed herself in the heart, ending her pain and the possibility of another Voldimort, but she couldn't and before she could take another breath Voldimort stunned her, quickly turning her world black.
