Chapter 3: Thoughts and Promises
'He is disturbed.' I automatically thought as he quickly walked out of the room, his fists clenched, and his aristocratic jaw twitching. The way he looked at me… it was looking at me with an x-ray, scanning for every imperfection and a way to fix it later. 'I shouldn't let him look at me like that!' I thought, 'I won't…' Ginny silently got up and rummaged through her bag. She pulled out her sketchbook and pencils. Many pictures were inside, all depicting Ginny's emotions. She drew with her charcoal pen, immersed in her work. She drew a picture of a small house elf, covered in rags and wearing chains on her wrist. Above the elf was the master, holding his cane ready to beat who disobeys. Around them were people, pretending not to notice the squabble in the street. The elf was bought to serve, and you could almost see the pain behind her eyes, seeing how her life could end up this way. That's how Ginny feels, like the slave…
Draco was pacing in the room next door, a room very similar to Ginny's with an added sitting room and a larger bathroom. The walls were covered in green wallpaper, with a diamond pattern. Knocking over books and small knick-knacks in the process, he stormed about the room. "Why did I let myself fall into that trap?!" he screamed to himself, knocking over a snake figurine in the process. "She's nothing more, than a damn Weasley! A weasel, just like the rest of them!" Part of her disgusts him, but the other part sent him to a screeching halt just to admire her beauty. His parents don't expect him to fall in love with the girl, and frankly, neither does he. After all, this marriage only exists to produce healthy pureblood heirs to the Malfoy estate after Draco is gone. He was just thankful that she is reasonably god looking… what the heck! He thinks she bloody beautiful. It helps that she doesn't have that orange hair like the rest of her family processed.
His parents originally for him to marry Pansy Eleanor Parkington, but when the war started, everything changed. Pansy was like a sister to Draco, and that brotherly affection toward her turned into love. When death eaters were killed, she was placed in the fronts to fight. She died 2 hours after getting the mark, and Draco's heart was broken.
He wanted to be with her… Without her he couldn't live. He tried to commit suicide several times, until he finally gave up, he had to live for the rest of his family, and his friends. The Malfoy bloodline was thinning out, new blood and heirs are needed to keep the family going. Weasley and I are only getting married for the children… just for the children.
Ginny woke up to a small elf pulling the covers off of her, and gently shaking her awake. "It's time for Missus to wake up; Master Malfoy wants Missus down stairs before breakfast." The elf said in an unusually high pitched voice. Ginny got up to see the elf. She was wearing a white pillowcase, on it was embroidered.
"Dotty"
Not wanting for the elf to harm herself, she got up and quickly took a shower, using the scented soaps and oils to cleanse her body. When she got out of the shower, and lightly applied her usual makeup, and donned on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. She dried her hair with her wand, leaving it in its loose, natural curls. She followed Dotty downstairs, into the main parlor. She then turned her around the corner into a hallway, and left her by an oak door. Dotty quickly bowed and ran away to the nearest servants exit. Ginny timidly knocked on the door, and it instantly opened allowing her inside.
