wow this was so hard to write, sorry for the delay my imagination went on strike, so i used a song in this one (listening to music helps helps the imagination flow). If your interested in listening to the song, to get a feel of how its sang, its called 'We both go down together' by the decemberists.
maybe its love
By the next evening everyone was aware that Ginny and Draco were together, not because of gossip but Draco's own actions, as the couple had emerged from his hut that morning, Ginny had been pleasantly shocked when he had held her hand. He seemed not to notice her wide eyes as he lent down and kissed her lips in a way that was scarily comforting and normal, as if they had been intimate for months rather than hours. It had been the same all day, Draco coming over just to kiss her or walk with her and hold her hand.
Ginny was sat curled up into Draco's side as he idly played with her hair, when he surprised her again, they had their backs to one of the felled trees watching the fire and laughing at drew sing a pretty rude song and laughing all the more when his mother told him off.
Grinning he approached Draco and Ginny with the guitar. "Here your turn." Drew handed the old guitar to Draco, Ginny's eyebrows shot up as he took it.
"You can play the guitar?"
"Yes of course I can." He said.
"Your going to sing?" She said in disbelief.
"Claims he can sing better than me." Snorted Drew amused "So lets hear you."
"Draco are you sure you want to do this." Ginny asked, not been able to imagine Draco singing.
Draco smirked at her and strummed the guitar "Think I cant sing?"
"Well, its hard to imagine."
Draco chuckled and began to play the guitar, Ginny sat eyes wide as he opened his mouth and sang.
"Here on these cliffs of Dover so high you can't see over and while your head is spinning, hold tight it's just beginning."
"And oh, my love, my love. And oh, my love, my love. We both go down together."
Ginny looked around at the crowd, none wore the amazed look that she did all were listening intently, she had to admit he was good, she caught Katie's eye who gave her a thumbs up, Ginny smiled and turned her attention back to Draco.
"I found you, a tattooed tramp. A dirty daughter from the labour camps. I laid you down in the grass of a clearing. You wept, but your soul was willing. And oh, my love, my love. And oh, my love, my love. We both go down together. And my parents will never consent to this love."
No he wasn't good, Ginny thought, he was excellent, she became more enthralled in his voice as he sang on.
"Meet me on my vast veranda. My sweet untouched Miranda and while the seagulls are crying, we fall but our souls are flying. And oh, my love, my love. And oh, my love, my love. We both go down together."
He finished the song and looked at Ginny with an expectant look, Ginny was vaguely aware of people clapping and her own incredulous look.
"Well? Can you imagine it now?" He asked amused.
"Yes….. That was brilliant, you really can sing." She said.
Draco shrugged and handed the guitar to someone else, Ginny still stared, Draco looked back at her "What?"
"Where did you learn to sing?"
"Ha ha, only if you promise you will not tell."
"Promise." Ginny held up crossed fingers.
Draco shook his head in amusement "I think when you cross fingers it means…… Oh never mind, when I was eight I wanted to be in the weird sisters, so mother and father bought me a guitar and lessons for my birthday……Do you mind?"
"I'm sorry." cried Ginny wiping tears from her eyes.
"What's so funny?" He snapped.
"Imagining you with hair down to your backside and eyeliner."
Draco's face broke into a smile. "I was just a kid." He defended. "Anyway I realised I love to sing, it relaxes me."
"Do you sing a lot?"
"All the time back at school."
"Really." Ginny said surprised. "In front of people?"
Draco laughed "Yes… Well just the common room."
"You sang in front of everyone?"
"Yes, most of us did, its how we Slythering passed the time." He gave her a curious look "How did the Gryffindor pass the time?"
"Well homework, reading, games and things."
Draco rolled his eyes "Sounds boring, well at least you weren't like the Ravenclaw's."
"Why? What do they do?"
Draco smirked "A lot of bed swapping."
"Really?…. And how would you know that?" She asked a little tartly.
"We gate crashed their party's more than once." He smirked. "Anyway, enough about me. Tell me the embarrassing thing you wanted to do when you grew up."
Ginny laughed "I wanted to marry Harry Potter." Ss soon as it was out of her mouth she instantly regretted saying it, Draco's face changed from relaxed to empty in a second, but not before she saw the flash of pain.
"I'm sorry that just slipped out."
Draco shrugged "We both know its what you want, like I said you can never be wholly mine."
"I'm here with you now, doesn't that mean anything?" She asked.
Draco sneered "And who's in your head?"
"Well I cant deny that I just stopped thinking about Harry, I care about him and I care about you too, would you rather me be shallow and move on without a second thought?"
Draco sighed deeply "No I wouldn't, because then you wouldn't be Ginny."
Ginny reached out and took his hand "You mean a lot to me Draco, last night…. wasn't planned, but it felt so right."
Draco's face softened, he placed his free hand over hers, opening his mouth to say something but instead leant over and kissed her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Earth to Ginny…." Came a laughing female voice.
Ginny looked up startled "Sorry Katie I was miles away."
"Yes I realised that after the fourth time I called your name, no need to ask who your thinking about."
Ginny gave a bashful smile and turned back to the berries she had been picking, she couldn't deny she had Draco on her mind, it had been three weeks since their first night together, the two were rarely apart and when they were all Ginny had on her mind was Draco. He was so thoughtful and kind, so passionate and good in….."
"Giiiiiny… your doing it again."
"I'm sorry Katie, I cant help thinking about him, seriously I'm worried its not healthy."
Katie laughed "Don't worry I think its perfectly normal, I think about Drew all the time."
A dreamy look came onto Katie's face.
"Ok, if I look like that I give you permission to slap me."
Both girls burst into laughter.
"Did you think about Harry all the time?"
Ginny's smile instantly disappeared, she had confided a lot in Katie, including her relationship with Harry and how Harry and Draco were rivals at school, Katie was a great listener and advice giver and helped her through the initial guilt stage when her and Draco had first became an item.
"Not like Draco." Ginny answered truthfully.
Katie winked "Maybe its love."
Ginny pulled a face "I don't even know what love is anymore."
"My mum always says love is acceptance. It's seeing that the other person is nowhere near perfect, and accepting their flaws, that love is when you just put your scepticism, and your fears, and your old heartache aside and just put all of your trust into someone. Also its when someone makes everything you enjoy infinitely sweeter, when someone has a power over you, to make your heart race with just a wave and a simple greeting."
The two girls stared at one another "well that's deep." Said Ginny causing both girls to burst out laughing again.
Ginny sighed "Draco has no flaws he's already perfect."
Katie rolled her eyes "Not just the outer flaws Gin."
Ginny contemplated Katie's words, it was true every time Draco so much as looked her way her heart raced but did she trust him? Had she laid her fears of who he was aside? The Draco she had come to know was a far cry from the cold, arrogant Slythering she had once known but what if they ever got off the island? Would he return to that way?
"What about you? Your mum must have given you advice on love." Asked Katie.
"Yes, she did, she said love was a many layered thing, it comes in many forms and is made up of different things, respect, consideration, friendship, trust, honesty, devotion and most of all to be treated as an equal, its when you get them all together that you know you have found the one." Replied Ginny drifting off into a memory of her mother explaining love, her mum had looked to her dad as she had said this, with such a look of adoration it made a ten year old Ginny feel like she was intruding.
Katie cocked her head to the side "Yes, I suppose that's right…."
A rustling sound interrupted the girls talk and Marie stepped out of the tree's "Hello Katie, Ginny. Katie your mum wants you urgently."
Katie looked worried "Why what's happened?"
Marie shrugged "I don't know she just said to come get you urgently."
Katie shared a look with Ginny.
Ginny nodded "You better go, we're just about finished here anyway."
Marie grabbed Katie's basket "It's ok go, I'll finish off for you."
Katie and Ginny shared another look, Ginny shrugged "Yea I'll see you soon."
Katie hurried off in the direction of the village.
Ginny hadn't seen much of Marie since her and Draco had become an item, Ginny had hoped she hadn't hurt her feelings too much and was pretty surprised to see her here, basket in hand, Marie began where Katie left off. Ginny eyed her curiously, she looked nervous to be here, Ginny trying not to be rude gave Marie a smile "So how have you been Marie?"
"Fine." Came the reply.
Ginny stared at the older girls back "Well that's good, I haven't seen you around much."
"No I've been busy."
"Really? What you been doing?" Tried Ginny.
Marie glanced over her shoulder a look of regret passed over her face "I think we're done, we should go back."
Ginny frowned "Right I'm sick of this, what's your problem? Why cant we just be friends?"
"I am your friend." Marie said.
"So tell me why you avoid me." Ginny pointed out the obvious.
Marie looked abashed, she turned away at a loss for what to say.
Sympathy washed over Ginny. "Its ok you know, I know, don't be embarrassed…."
Ginny stopped mid sentence as Matthew seemed to materialise out of the trees, Ginny froze instantly on alert, Marie didn't seem surprised at all and dropped her head causing Ginny's suspicions to rise, she glared at the sneering Matthew.
"What's going on?" Asked Ginny, suspicion laced her voice.
"What's going on." Mimicked Matthew.
Ginny looked to Marie, but she was looking down at the ground, the redhead was surprised when Marie spoke "He just wants to talk to you." The dark haired girl muttered.
"Sure do." He agreed walking around Ginny, she cringed away when he lent over and inhaled deeply causing him to chuckle.
"What the hell do you want?" Ginny snarled.
Matthew reached out and took a strand of hair ignoring her question "My mother had red hair."
Ginny began to think, one kick between the legs just as her brothers had taught her and she could run for it.
"Well before they set it on fire." He continued, his face appeared in front of hers, his nose had not healed properly and had set crooked to the side, Ginny pulled her eyes back to his and met his slightly crazed gaze, now was the time. She brought her knee up between his legs as hard as she could, he didn't even flinch, instead his grin grew more crazy and wilder, he wagged a finger in front of her face "Ah ah aaaah."
His face changed from crazy amused to pure angry in a flash as he grabbed her throat, Ginny gagged at the pressure "Gotta have balls for you to do that." He hissed. "And I don't."
"What do you want." Ginny choked out.
"What I am going to do is get my revenge." he snarled.
"Why? Because of what happened to your family? Draco was just a baby when you were brought here, its not his fault."
"Malfoy's are all the same, their all monsters."
"Draco's not, he's a good person." Gasped Ginny.
Matthews grip tightened "do you want to know what his father did?"
"Matthew don't hurt her, you said you just wanted to tell her." Came Marie's voice.
All Ginny could see was Matthews face, his grip loosened and he grinned again.
"Sure I'll explain why she has to die."
"Matthew don't." Marie grabbed the insane mans shoulder, he let go of Ginny who dropped to her knees gasping for breath. He whirled around punching Marie in the face, she crumpled to the floor, then he was back in front of Ginny.
"They cursed of my penis you know."
"I'm sorry." Ginny tried to yell but it came out hoarsely.
"And my balls." He added ignoring her.
Ginny looked away.
"While my parents watched, helplessly, they said I was a girl because I cried, then they told my parents if they reached eagles rock they would let us all live."
Ginny shook her head "why is this anything to do with Lucius Malfoy?"
She yelped as he grabbed her hair forcing her to look into his eyes "Because he brought us here, this is all his fault and I will make him pay."
The crazed man stood up pulling Ginny with him "Come I want to show you what happened next."
Ginny had no option than to be dragged along, he never once broke pace, even when Ginny stumbled and fell he just dragged her back up by the hair, she tried begging and reasoning with him but to no avail. The nightmare trek up the tor was all too soon over, as they reached the top Matthew flung Ginny away from him, he held out his arms.
"HERE." he screamed "IS WHERE THEY MADE ME WAIT. While I listened to the people screaming, dying, wondering if it was my parents, hoping and PRAYING that I would be saved."
"Please, this wont bring them back." She pleaded.
Matthew laughed "No it wont, but it will make me feel fucking better, and when your lover gets here I will throw him off the cliff too."
"WHAT?" Ginny cried horrified.
Matthew began to approach her, like a predator circling its prey, all the while smiling strangely at her.
"That's what they did you know, my mother made it, she came out of the trees there." He pointed down to where the tree line started. "I was so happy she was ok, those Deatheater's congratulated her and told her she was free." Matthews face darkened at the memory "Then they grabbed her and threw her off the cliff."
He lunged for Ginny who scrambled away backwards, she rolled over and jumped up setting off running but was soon grabbed around the waist and picked up "NO." She screeched struggling and kicking with all her worth, but she was no match for the burly man. And then she was been hurled through air, for a moment she thought she had gone over the cliff until they hit the ground with a thud, Ginny rolled away and scrambled up to see Draco had come out of nowhere and had tackled Matthew to the ground. Both were rolling around trying to gain the upper hand, Ginny hovered unsure of what to do.
"GO GINNY, RUN." Ordered Draco.
Part of her wanted to run, but she couldn't and wouldn't leave Draco alone.
"FUCKING RUN GINNY." The blonde boy bellowed.
Then Matthews fist made contact with the side of Draco's head and Draco dropped, Ginny gasped in horror as Matthew flipped him over and climbed on top of him, his big hands wrapped around Draco's neck.
"STOP IT." She cried running over and trying to push him off, the crazed man acted as if she wasn't there, grinning crazily he carried on choking Draco.
Trying to think fast her eyes swept around settling on a rock the size of a fist she ran over and grabbed it, without a second thought she brought the rock down as hard as she could on Matthews shaven head, his head immediately split open but he didn't let go. Three times it took for him to bat her away, then he was up, he grabbed Ginny's wrist as she brought the rock down again "Your turn my darling."
She kicked and pulled uselessly against him as he yet again dragged her to the cliff, her eyes widened as she looked down at the rocks below, a scraping sound made her snap her eyes back up, relief flooded through her when she saw Draco staggering and attempting to stay standing. His t-shirt was hanging in bloody tatters, deep purple bruises marred his neck, he absently wiped his bloody mouth with the back of his hand causing him to upset his balance and wobble again.
Matthew grinned as Draco began to stalk towards them, his silver eyes set in a deadly resigned look, Ginny heart stuttered "Draco no." She gasped in horror.
But he had began to jog, Matthew released Ginny's wrist and held out his hands for Draco, the insane grin never leaving his face as Draco now running ploughed into him and they both went over the edge, Ginny gasped and dove onto her knees. Half relieved that Draco clung onto the edge, she grabbed his arm trying to pull him up, vaguely aware of Matthew plummeting to the rocks below, Ginny heaved with all her strength but couldn't pull Draco up.
"DON'T YOU DARE." She sobbed as his eyes fluttered closed.
He smirked up at her, struggling to keep his eyes open "Its ok Ginny." His eyes fluttered again and she felt him begin to go limp.
"NO DON'T DRACO, I LOVE YOU."
His smirk turned to a smile and he whispered "I love you too."
Then he was slipping through her grasp.
