But I Never Loved You

There's Nothing

Ginny found it hard to keep up to Draco as he walked. He was holding her hand tightly, but she was a good 5 inches shorter than he was! Her legs were quite a bit smaller than his were, so how could he expect her to walk so fast?

"What else do we need? We have the suits for your brothers and father, the dress for your mother, we have a gift from your family to mine, and from my family to yours… We have the candles and the chairs…"

Ginny jumped in front of him and put her hand on his mouth. "Okay listen, we have a week. Besides, this is a fake marriage anyway, and everyone that's going to be at this party is in on the secret. What's the point?"

Draco sighed and leaned forward, putting his forehead against hers.

He'd forgotten she knew it wasn't real. He'd almost forgotten it was fake himself. Something about her was catching him off guard… He'd never been in an actual relationship before. Every girl he'd ever been with was purely physical. Either that, or his parents set them up. Always for show… Never for the heart.

He shook his head. "I just want to make it nice for you…"

It was sweet, almost innocent… Ginny couldn't help but smile at the pitiful tone of voice he'd taken on. She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'll be fine. It's the effort that matters, not the end result."

He leaned back, and tilted his forehead against hers once again, finding that to be a very comfortable position between the two of them. She was just the right size for him to reach.

Before they knew what was going on, dozens of people with cameras were taking photographs of them in that picture.

Draco rolled his eyes and wrapped one arm tightly around her. "Let's give them a show."

Pansy stood up on her tiptoes to see through the crowd. Her jaw dropped when she saw Draco on one knee, holding Ginny's hand. He was proposing!

Pansy grabbed Blaise's arm and dug her nails in. "That's my proposal! My wedding! My wo-"

Blaise pulled his arm away and growled. "Let's do the spell then."

Pansy nodded and took her wand out. With a silent spell, she shot her wand forward, a black ray of light beaming toward the couple.

As the spell hit the person it was aimed for, she watched Draco fall off his knee.

"What the hell was that?" he shouted to loudly, a few paparazzo jumped from his line of anger. "Better question, who?"

Ginny touched his shoulder. "Both of us are fine, it was obviously just to scare us."

He wrapped an arm around her, and apparated them both home.

Draco lifted her up and put her on his dresser, as they had popped right into his room. He slid his fingers delicately across her face. "Are you sure you're okay? Did the spell hit you?"

Ginny chuckled and shook her head. "I didn't feel a thing Draco, stop worrying!"

Draco pulled away and tilted his head to the side. "You've never said my name before."

Ginny blushed suddenly. "Well I…"

"No, I like it. I like the way you say it. It sounds…"

He was suddenly aware how close they were. He slid both hands to her cheeks again, and gently caressed with his thumbs.

Ginny felt her face flush, and become hot. "I appreciate that you want to make this wedding nice for me… It means a lot to know that someone cares what I think once and a while."

He smiled. "Your opinion will always matter to me." He leaned in to kiss her forehead.

Ginny, however, had her own ideas. She tilted her head up and caught his lips with her own. She wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed a soft whimper to escape. She slid her legs out from under her, as they had been crossed Indian-style, and came up onto her knees.

Draco pulled away, as hard as it was for him to do, (no pun intended) and looked down. "Are you…Are you sure this is okay?" His eyes revealed the fact that he sure as hell hoped it was okay with her…

Ginny answered him by leaning forward, nearly jumping off the dresser and into his arms. He caught her, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing her once more. He flopped back on the bed, allowing her to be on top of him.

At this, she froze. She was never really one with enough confidence to be leading anything. She kept her eyes tightly shut and was startled to notice the lights turn off.

She opened her eyes quickly, and the lights came back on. "What was that?" she asked.

"This is the master bedroom… The owner of the house and his or her husband or wife can control every aspect of the room just by wanting it… You wanted the lights to turn off and they did." He brushed her bangs from her face. "Your eyes are light purple now…What does that mean?"

Ginny avoided meeting his eyes. "It means I'm a little nervous. I'm surprised they're not dark purple. That's the color they get when I'm petrified."

He chuckled and looked up, to be sure that the lights went out. "It's okay." He wrapped his arms around her and flipped them over so he was on top of her. "Better?" he asked.

Ginny wasn't given the opportunity to answer, as he leaned forward and caught her lips with his own. His hands slid down from her cheeks, to her sides, down her chest, stomach, and hips.

She was so beautiful in the light…But in the dark everything was so much more real to him. He was touching her, kissing her, making her whimper nervously into his ear. He wasn't even underneath her dress at this point…

Ginny felt herself trembling. Sure she wasn't a virgin… She'd had sex a few times, all with the same person of course… Nothing had felt like this. She had done it just because she felt rather stupid having clung to her virginity, so she just let it go…

Draco slid one hand up the bottom of her dress and felt her twitch under his fingers. "It's okay," he whispered into her ear, then leaned down to softly suckle the soft skin of her neck. "If you want me to stop doing something, just let me know."

He felt her calm down underneath him and allowed himself to travel downward. He gave her shoulder a light nip. His hands slid up to meet his mouth as he reached to unhook her bra. He was shocked to find out there was none. He knew she was a little less well endowed, but he thought all women wore bras…

Ginny gasped when he reached her breasts and pulled back. "This is a little fast…"

Draco nodded and leaned forward to kiss her forehead. "We'll go as slow as you need, okay Princess? There's no rush…"

A/N In the end, they did NOT have sex lol. Not…yet? Could it happen? It could : ) Will it? Who knows…hehehe
