Chapter 11:
Ginny awoke a few hours later from her nap. She opened one eye and adjusted it to the light that the sunset was throwing across the room. Ginny sighed with happiness. She had forgotten the beautiful colours that the sunsets made her room; the lovely pink and oranges with a hint of purple.
She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and was suddenly taken aback when she noticed Hermione standing in the corner of the room, beside the door. The girl's arms where crossed and there was a determined look in her eyes.
"Hermione, what are you doing there?" asked Ginny with suprise.
Hermione's eyes softened. "Look, Ginny, I know you don't want to tell anyone where you have been, you didn't even tell Harry... Please won't you tell me? I am your best and only friend."
Ginny looked at her for a while, then she opened her mouth and spoke, "'Mione, if I tell you, you must promise not to tell a soul, especially not Harry. Harry will... I don't know what he would do." Her voice was desperate and pleading.
Hermione nodded, "Of course, Ginny, you know me. I tell no one. Well.. I tell Harry a great deal, but this time I won't, I promise. You can trust me." she smiled reasuringly and sat down next to Ginny on the bed.
Ginny nodded appreciatively and then said, "Alright. Let me start from the beginning." She swallowed and then continued.
"It was when the Death Eater attack broke out at Hogwarts. I was too much of a coward to stay and fight with everyone else, so instead I hid while the battle was going on, and then I took a chance and ran to Hagrid's hut." she looked at Hermione to see if the girl was following what she was saying and Hermione nodded for her to continue.
"Well, then, Hagrid was lying dead on the floor... I.." she paused remembering that terrible disfigured form of Hagrid lying dead.
"It's ok, Gin, carry on." coaxed Hermione softly.
"I heard footsteps running so I hid in the hut somewhere where I couldn't be seen. The people came into the hut. It was Draco and Snape.." Ginny said.
"You mean Malfoy?" corrected Hermione.
Ginny ignored the girl and continued, "They were talking about Dumbledore being killed, (Snape killed him, instead of Draco) and that Draco had to flee because he had disobeyed Voldemort's orders by not killing Dumbledore. Snape agread to take Draco somewhere to hide and... While they were talking, I realized that Dumbledore was dead, so I.. I started crying and they heard me."
Hermione gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She moved forward on the bed like she was waiting for the climax of the horror story to take place. "What then?"
"So Snape found me where I was hiding and he was going to kill me.. I think, but Draco stopped him." Ginny continued. "He told Snape that he could use me as information from the Order. And so Snape concented, but said that Draco had to watch over me, not him.
"They took me to a cave, I don't know where. And me and Draco got left there to hide, while Snape went to Voldemort to report."
"You two got left there together... alone?!" said Hermione horrified.
Ginny smiled at the girl's shock. "Yes. But that's what I have to tell you, 'Mione." she was serious.
"What?" asked the girl.
"I'm in-love with Draco." stated Ginny, hoping Hermione wouldn't explode.
Hermione blinked. "Wha-? How- Why?!''
Ginny took a deap breath and then spoke. "'Mione, when you're with him and know who he truly is.. I lived with him for how long? It was enough to get to know him. He was the only one I had to comfort me, and he definately comforted me."
Hermione smiled slightely, but hesitantly.
"We got to know each other in the cave. He took away my wand, so I had to trust him completely. He really cared for me. I think he liked me too then. Then we had to move, because the Death Eaters were after Draco and had found out where we were. Snape took us to a Muggle flat. We settled there, and that's when it started."
"What started?" asked Hermione.
"Me and Draco.. 'Mione, he gave me a chance to go home, come home to Harry, but I said no! I wanted to stay with him. I'd forgotten all about Harry." said Ginny sadly.
Hermione frowned. "Did you and Malfoy, or Draco, sleep with each other?"
Ginny looked embaressed. "NO! I mean.. We snogged. That was it. I think he's in-love with me too."
Hermione looked blank for a moment. "What now? How did Harry find you?"
"Well, Draco told me that we needed to get out the flat for a while, so we would split up and then meet back at the flat at a certain time. So we did, and that's when Harry spotted me." said Ginny almost irritatedly.
"Did you just leave without saying anything to Draco?! Not telling him where you'd gone??!" said Hermione horrified.
"Since when do you care about Draco? No, I went back and left a note, while Harry waited for me." said Ginny, "But I told him that I would come back."
"Oh good!" said Hermione, her face lighting up.
"You want me to go back?" asked Ginny incredulously.
"Well... It's just that.. You and Draco sound so.. romantic." Hermione giggled.
Ginny laughed as well. "But I need to go back soon. I need to see him."
"Tonight!" said Hermione enthusiastically. "I'll cover up for you."
"Really?" asked Ginny.
"Yes, of course! But first you must eat some dinner." said Hermione happily. "Just, please, please stay safe." she said taking Ginny's hands.
"I will, don't worry." said Ginny with a smile. "And thank you for understanding. But, what about Harry? Aren't you angry for me forgetting about Harry?"
Hermione hesitated. "We will get back to that later. Come on, let's go for dinner."
And with that, the two girls walked down the stairs where the family was there to greet them.
When Ginny had been greeted and squeezed by all her brothers and her father and Harry, they all sat down at the table.
"Ginny, where have you been all this time?" asked Arthur Weasley most sternly.
"She won't tell us anything, Arthur. I've tried pulling it out of the girl, but she refused." said Molly as she dished up some food onto Ron's plate.
"Ginny, that won't do. I have to know where you have been." insisted her father hitting the table with force.
"Dad, I-" Ginny began.
"Arthur, I think we'd best not force her. She has her reasons for not telling us." said Harry softly and looking at Ginny with a small reasuring smile.
Arthur looked stunned by Harry's comment, but then he grumbled, "Well alright.. But I don't like it one bit!"
After dinner, Ginny was about to go to her room, when Harry touched her shoulder, stopping her. "Gin, wouldn't you like to talk a bit?" he asked sweetly.
Ginny turned around and looked into his beautiful green eyes. "I-Harry.." she smiled akwardly. She only had Draco on her mind at the moment, and anyone stopping her from seeing him would be a bother. "I'm still really tired. Would you mind if we talked tomorrow rather?"
Harry nodded, "Of course. Good night then, Gin. Sleep well." he said and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Ginny was left there stunned, hoping she hadn't made the wrong decision of choosing Draco's company over Harry's. "G-g-good night." she stuttered.
Harry chuckled at her reaction from the kiss. "Tomorrow then. Good night." and he walked back to the kitchen to talk to Ron.
Hermione met Ginny back in her room. "You all ready to go?"
Ginny nodded. "Yeah." she hugged Hermione, "Thanks for covering for me."
"No problem. Don't get back too late, ok?" she said.
"I won't." and with that, Ginny mounted her broom and flew out the window to outside the Anti-Apperation wards. She hid her broom behind a tree and then Apperated to the Muggle flat.
The flat was dark, except for a small TV light, coming from the lounge.
"Draco?" she called softly.
"Gin?" a small hoping voice came from the lounge.
Ginny stepped into the lounge, to see Draco sitting on a couch in boxers and a T-shirt, and a Firewhiskey in his hand.
He put down the bottle and stood up staring at the girl in front of him. Ginny walked up to him. "Draco." she said softly.
They stood there in silence. "I thought.." Draco trailed off.
"Thought that I wouldn't come back?" asked Ginny.
"Yes. I thought that you'd gone back to Potter for good and started your happy life again and-" he was saying. Ginny could hear the venom in his voice when he said Potter.
"I love you." she cut him off.
Draco stared at her stunned. "W-w-what?"
"I love you." Ginny repeated simply.
"Wha- You... I.. Uh- l-l-l-love you t-too." he stammered.
Ginny smiled up at him, looking into his silver eyes. She felt safe under his stare. She wrapped her arms around his waste and rested her head on his chest, letting out a content sigh.
Draco then put his own arms around her and held her for a while, before standing back from her.
"What now?" he asked.
"Well, now you must kiss me to make this a happy ending." she said playfully grinning at him.
Draco smiled before capturing her lips with his. The kiss was so much different to Harry's. It was a soft kiss too, but it had so much more feeling in it. Draco put his hand at her jaw, cupping her face, and pulled her closer with his other arm. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and started eating hungrily at his lips. The kiss became passionate, hot and fiery.
Draco picked Ginny up, much to her suprise and carried her to the bedroom. He put her on the bed and closed the door behind him. The room was very dark, and he could just make out Ginny's small form in the moonlight coming from the window.
He walked over to the bed and softly pushed Ginny to lie down flat on the bed and heard her giggle softly. He was above her now, taking full control. He began kissing her down her neck and softly nibbling at her skin. Ginny let out of few soft moans. Draco began to unbutton her shirt and kissed the skin that was slowly becoming exposed. Ginny took off the rest of her top and let it fall off the side of the bed.
Draco unclasped her bra and slowly slid the straps off her arms. Once it was off, he touched Ginny's now bare breasts lovingly. "Beautiful." he whispered as he gave a breast a small squeeze.
He could sense Ginny smiling with pleasure.
He then put his mouth to her breast, licking it and circling his way to her nipple. He gave it a small nibble and slowly teased it. Ginny moaned with pleasure and put her hands in his hair.
He did the same to her other breast and then slowly kissed her down to her navel, giving it a small bite and working his way up again to her lips.
"Gin.." he grunted as the girl ripped off his T-shirt. She traced the lines of his muscles on his chest, and bit into his neck.
She flipped him over onto his back and straddled him then began to kiss him fervently again.
Draco's hand glided down Ginny's back and then began to slowly slide Ginny's jeans down.
"Ginny..?" Draco asked permission to go further.
"Fuck me, Draco."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ginny awoke the next morning feeling very tired. The sun came streaming through the window, lighting up the room.
Draco had his arms around her waist and his chin was resting in the crest of her neck. She snuggled into his embrace and in doing so, woke him.
She felt his eyelashes flutter against her skin and she smiled. She turned around to face him.
"Morning, my love." she said against his lips.
"Am I in heaven?" asked Draco with a goofy grin, before giving the girl a kiss.
Ginny giggled. "Not quite."
"You want some breakfast?" asked Draco sweetly.
Ginny's eyes stared at him, as realization struck her. "Breakfast.... Breakfast? BREAKFAST?!!! I HAVE TO GO!" she screamed and jumped out of bed, grabbing her clothes off the floor. "I told Hermione I would be back early this morning! It's already 10:00 A.M!" she yelled looking at the clock on Draco's bedside table.
Draco was grinning madly at the girl.
"What's that face for? I'm bloody late!" she said as she hurriedly put on her bra.
"You're so beautiful when you're stressed." said Draco, "Especially naked and stressed." he added with a smirk.
Ginny blushed slightly. "It's not funny, I have to go." She finished putting on her clothes and then stood staring at Draco, who was now sitting up in bed, leaning against the wall.
She walked to the side of the bed, leaned down and kissed him softly. "I'll come back, I promise." she whispered.
"You'd better." said Draco with a wink.
Ginny laughed a little. "Ok.. Bye!" she said and Apperated away.
Draco pouted. "Great. Now she's gone back to that odious Potter. If he touches her...!" he grumbled, before lying back down on his pillow and falling asleep.
