CHAPTER 4: GUILT AND PASSION

Later that night Draco arrived home. After Ginny left, Luna, Blaise and he signed the contract. They were told that they would just be informed in 2 or 3 weeks for the shoot. He couldn’t stop thinking about Ginny….what he said must’ve hurt her badly. He felt guilt rush through him when he saw Ginny ran.

He ascended the stairs and stopped right in front of Ginny’s room. He had decided that afternoon that he went too far and apologize to her. He raised his hand to knock but decided that he’ll do it tomorrow. ‘Maybe I’ll disturb her sleep…’ he thought as he made his way to his room. He took of his coat followed by his tie then he thought ‘Wait, why do I care if I wake her or not this is my house…’

He went back again to Ginny’s room and was ready to knock. He couldn’t do it. He went back to his room and sat on a couch near the fireplace. ‘Damn… why does apologizing to her become suddenly hard? Why couldn’t you just keep your mouth shut Draco?’ he scolded himself for being such a asshole.

“I definitely need some sleep…” he said out loud and got ready for bed.

GINNY

On that same day

Ginny ran as fast as she could. ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ she thought as more tears gush out from her eyes. She didn’t care where she went as long as she’s far away as possible from Draco. His words wounded her… it was true; her relationships didn’t even lasts six months. She just didn’t need to hear the truth. It was painful enough as it is.

After several hours, at exactly 4:00 pm, it started to rain. She went back to the Manor and was greeted warmly by Narcissa. She entered the manor soaking wet.

“Hello, Dear! My, my, my… where have you been? You’re soaking wet.” Narcissa said as she gestured Giles to fetch a towel.

Ginny smiled weakly “We need to talk…”

“Okay… let’s proceed to the drawing room and you can dry yourself there.” Narcissa smiled

“No, I think what I’m about to say is short and I wont be here any longer.” Narcissa looked at her confused “I don’t like, no let me rephrase that… I don’t want to live in the Manor.”

“What? But why?” Narcissa was extremely sad upon hearing Ginny’s announcement.

“I wanna live in my own uh… house Cissa… right now, things are uh…complicated.” Ginny nervously said as she played with her fingers.

“You won’t be my mediwitch any longer?” Narcissa sadly questioned.

“No, I will still be but I just won’t live here. Please Cissa… I will come by every other week to check on you.”

Narcissa looked at the pleading Ginny. She will be sad by her departure but if she’s not happy…. Narcissa wouldn’t force her. “Alright… if you insist.” She sighed heavily. Ginny gently took Cissa hand and squeezed it a little.

“Everything will be alright… I promise.” Ginny said and let go of Cissa’s hand. Few minutes passed and Ginny apparated.

NEXT MORNING

June 24th

Draco was up early at exactly 7:30. The guilt was still there and he didn’t have that much sleep last night. He knocked at his mother’s room but didn’t find her there. He then walked over to Ginny’s room and knocked but no one answered and so he went in.

Ginny wasn’t there. The room was empty, even her things weren’t there. Draco wondered if his mother had asked that she be transferred to another room. He heard noises coming from the dining room. ‘That must be them.” He thought as he descended the stairs and head to the dining room.

When he reached the room, he found only his mother eating alone. “Good Morning, mother!” he planted a smile on his face.

His mother just gave him a nod as she continued eating her meal. “Mother, is something wrong?” Draco asked worriedly.

“No, nothing’s the matter. Having a bad day that’s all.” Narcissa forced a smile on her lips.

“C’mon mother… I know you, something is bothering you. Wait, where did your mediwitch go?” He looked for her around the room but he saw none.

Narcissa looked at Draco and simply said “She left.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I didn’t know you were troubled about her?” she smiled at Draco’s question “About your question, yesterday she came back mid-afternoon. I did sense that something was went wrong earlier… poor girl she must’ve been crying, her eyes were puffy anyway she asked me if it would be alright that she doesn’t live here. When I asked her the reason… she wouldn’t tell me.”

“So, she’s not your mediwitch anymore?” Draco asked.

“Yes, she still is. She told me she’ll come by every other week to check on me.” Narcissa made a frown.

“What’s wrong Mother?”

“Maybe it was wrong to hire her. She really is a nice woman… she isn’t only my mediwitch but she was also my friend. I mean I only got to spend and talk with her for one day.”

Draco fell silent. He didn’t have the heart to tell his mother that it was his fault that Ginny had gone. “Oh!”

“It just doesn’t make sense really. Well, you seem early today… what’s your agenda?”

“Early meeting today…” he glanced at his watch to make an excuse “I have to go. I’ll see you later.” He kissed his mother goodbye and went off to work. ‘Don’t worry she’ll come back after a few days…’ he assured himself.

July 25th

Days turned into weeks and still no sign of Ginny. Draco had been waking up and coming home early to see if she has come back yet. ‘Why am I worried about the weaslette? I should be happy she’s gone.’ He thought as he paced back and forth at his office at home. ‘Get a grip Draco…’

The door creaked open and he turned around hoping to see Ginny but found his mother instead. “Wanna have coffee with me?” she asked as she showed Draco the tray she carried.

“Mother, we have house elves to do that…” he took the tray from his mother and placed it in his table.

“I dismissed the house elves… we only have Giles now. Honestly they are too many.” She sat down at a chair facing Draco’s table and Draco taking the chair beside her.

“What? Who’s gonna cook for us? You absolutely cannot. You are too weak.”

“I need the exercise. Besides don’t you wanna taste my cooking again?”

“Hmmm…. Only if you cook my favourite.” Draco smiled at his mother.

“Of course dear…” she smiled a little.

They didn’t talk much while drinking their coffee. They usually just talk about Lucius Malfoy and his doings but Draco didn’t like to dwell too much on the past. It would just hurt both he and hid mother.

“By the way Mother… did Gin- I mean Weasley leave an address in which you can reach her?” Draco suddenly asked his mother hoping she didn’t notice that he almost called her Ginny.

Narcissa found his question unnecessary since he himself wanted her out of the house “No, she didn’t. She said she would just contact me. Why?”

“Nothing… it usually is way way when mediwitch lives on another house.”

“Well… she told me things are complicated right now. You wanna tell me something? Maybe something happened that afternoon?”

“I aint nothing to do with it Mum… besides I was at work how should I know what’s going on..” Draco defensively said.

“Calm down… I’m just asking. You told me something about a magazine yesterday. How did it go?” Narcissa sipped her coffee.

Draco frowned when he heard magazine. He thought of Ginny instantly. “Model of some sort for the next issue, something about successful and famous…”

“Oh… well?”

“Well what, Mother?”

“Did you? Say yes?”

He sighed deeply “Yes I did… let’s talk about something else. How was your day?” Draco changed the subject.

“The usual… anyway, I need to sleep now. I’m kinda tired. Pity really, I was really looking forward for a great time with her…” Narcissa stood from where she sat and placed her cup on the tray. ‘If you don’t mind dear, please return the tray.” Draco nodded and she smiled thankfully and went to bed.

Draco sat there thinking. ‘Tomorrow… I’ll pay a little visit at St. Mungo’s maybe she’s there. She’ll hear me out for sure and then we’ll talk about mother and she’ll come back. Yeah that should do it…’ he thought as he placed his coffee on the tray and went to the kitchen.

NEXT DAY

July 26th

Ginny glanced over to Amanda’s side “Yeah and Fickle weeds will be placed in the commonly used ingredients… it has become rare actually.”

“Yeah, maybe we’ll place it in the uhm… restricted section. What you think?” Amanda agreed with Ginny and looked at the other members of the board.

Everybody agreed with Amanda’s suggestion. “Alright, that’s settled. Meetings over.” Ginny declared and one by one they left the conference room. “Amanda, I wanna resign my position. Being a head in potions department is tough stuff plus other mediwitches just grab any ingredient. I wanna stay home for a change.” She complained.

Amanda smiled at Ginny. “Dear, that’s why we placed you there. You know a lot about things… and you continue to expand your knowledge by reading that book.” Amanda pointed at the book Ginny set aside while they were having a meeting. “How about your charge?”

“Yeah that too…. Remind me why I’m doing this job again…”

“Excuse me Miss Weasley… you have a visitor waiting.” Angelie Ortiz, the secretary of Ginny, informed her.

“Oh okay… tell her to wait for a few minutes.” She said to Angelie but added “Wait, is the person a she?”

Angelie smiled mysteriously “Uh… why don’t you see for yourself.” She exited the room.

“Now that’s weird Amanda… my own secretary being mysterious and all. Gives me the creeps. I gotta go I have to entertain this ‘visitor’ ” she smiled and got her book and exited the room too. After a few minutes Amanda followed Ginny out and proceeded to her office.

Ginny was taking her time walking. Her office was at the top floor, she could just apparate but preferred to walk. When she reached the third floor Angie was miraculously smiling while working. Ginny observed her for a moment and thought that she was crazy. “Are you alright Angie?”

“I’m fine…” Angie sighed dreamily.

“Is she inside?” Ginny said as she made her way to her office.

“Yeah… go right in.”

Ginny wanted to laugh but afraid that she might hurt Angie’s feelings so she kept it to herself. She opened the door and walked in. Nobody was there. “Hello?” ‘This is weird… maybe she left. Oh well.’ She walked over to her desk and saw papers scattered there.

Draco was at the very corner of Ginny’s office. He watched her as she analysed the papers at her desk. Ginny’s back was at Draco’s so she couldn’t see him from behind.

He never noticed how Ginny has grown through out these years. Her womanly curves formed perfectly. She has long and smooth legs, her bosom was a little bigger than the normal breast size for her age and her long flaming red hair with curly ends which stop at her waist. ‘She is a beautiful woman. Wait… beautiful? A weasley? Since when?’ he thougt as he disregarded his thoughts.

He silently walked over to Ginny and took a peek at what she was reading. He could smell her perfume and as he inched closer he inhaled another scent coming from her hair. ‘Vanilla and peach... Hmmm not a bad choice.’ He thought. “What seem to be the problem?” he said near her ear.

Ginny was so engrossed at what she was reading that she didn’t notice Draco behind her until he said something. “What the fuck?!?” she exclaimed as she shoved the person away and took her wand from her pocket.

Draco stumbled back and got hit by Ginny’s arm at the nose. “Are you trying to BLOODY kill me Weasel?” he hissed.

Ginny was ready to strike any minute when she heard Draco’s voice. She still aimed her wand at him “Goddamn it Malfoy… don’t sneak up on me like thI waI was scared to death”

“Hell, how was I supposed to know you’d react that way?” he was still holding his nose and muttered something under his breath. He sat at the chair near him.

“What did you say?” she wasn’t able to make out the words he said.

“I said you almost killed me!” he yelled making every word clear. He growled in pain as his nose started to bleed. “Fuck!”

Ginny lowered her wand. “Well, it wasn’t my fault…..it was just reflex Malfoy. My secretary tells me that I have a visitor and when I came in no one was there. What did you expect me to do? Put my arms around you and thank you???!!!???” she yelled. Draco was busy looking after his nose to even bother to listen to Ginny. “Fine... I can’t let you have dripping blood on my carpet.” She shoved off Malfoy’s hand and examined his nose then took her wand and muttered a spell.

In an instant the bleeding stopped and Draco’s nose was back to normal. “What the bloody hell are you doing here?” Ginny crossed her arms at her chest.

“I came here to tell you something but got hit instead.” Draco touched his nose.

Ginny looked at her watch “I’ll give you a second.” She counted silently and said “Okay, you’re time’s up.” She opened the door to let Draco pass.

“Alright! Just five minutes….”

Ginny closed her door. “Talk.” She walked over to her desk and sat on top of it.

Draco paced the room and was having a hard time. “You see… about you know, what happened before… uh...”

“What about it?” Ginny was getting interested as she looked at the hesitant Draco. “I haven’t got all day Malfoy.”

“Well…” he stopped again.

“Tick! Tock! Tick! To-”

“Damn it... I’m trying to say I’m sorry here and you’re not making it easy.” Draco said frustrated.

Ginny stared at Draco. “You mean to tell me…. That you came here to tell me you’re sorry about what happened before? Am I right?” Draco sighed and nodded. Ginny burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny?” Draco looked at the laughing form of Ginny.

“Nice prank you have there Malfoy… I- mean…-” she continued laughing.

Draco took Ginny by the shoulders and straitened her, making her face him. “Look at me Virginia…. Do I look like I’m lying?” he said in a caring tone.

Ginny stopped laughing and was staring at his silver-grey eyes. His eyes. She couldn’t say anything. “I- uh….” She stuttered.

Draco found himself staring back at green, lovely eyes. He was like sucked in into a world he never knew existed. A world where love is present. He gently touched her smooth cheek. He used his index finger to trace the lining of her jaw and lifted Ginny’s chin. By then Draco’s hands were already at Ginny’s waist bringing her closer to him and her hands were at his chest.

Ginny gasped as Draco brought her closer to him. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came. She isn’t gonna allow herself be tricked twice. She tried to move away from Draco but only made Draco’s grip tighter. She instead looked away to her right as she felt her blood rush to her cheeks.

Draco lifted her chin to face him. He saw Ginny blush and thought how beautiful she looked and hoped that he was the only one who made her blush at just one touch.

Before Ginny knew what was happening, Draco’s lips slightly brushed her lower lip. She found herself again staring at Draco’s hungry eyes. “What... do you re-… really want Malfoy?” She managed to say.

“You!” Draco whispered in her ear and nibbled it. He heard a short moan from Ginny. He looked at Ginny one last time before he lowered his lips and kissed Ginny passionately.

Ginny closed her eyes as soon as his lips came tumbling on her lips. She was really disappointed at her body for easily giving in to Draco’s caresses and hot kisses. Her wrapped her arms on his neck and drew him closer deepening the kiss. She gave him access and felt his tongue slid inside.

Draco was amazed at Ginny responded to him. Most of the ladies he has kissed didn’t give in that easily. They like to beat round the bush but with Ginny he felt… like wanting more. One of his hands played with her curls while the other hugged her waist.

Ginny was battling emotions inside. A part of her wanted this to stop and the other wanted to want more. Ginny got her senses back and broke their kiss. Her breathing uneven. She opened her eyes and looked at Draco. “No… I, I mean we can’t.”

Draco sighed disappointedly. “Right… I’ll see you soon Virginia.” He gave her a quick kiss before letting her go. He walked out of the room with a smile on his face. ‘Making weaslette fall in love with me is gonna be easy…’

Ginny looked at Draco until he disappeared from her view. Angie came running to her office “What happened? He had a smile on his face when he walked out… did you manage to get if he has a girlfriend? Wait… you look flushed what happened really?” she asked.

“Nothing…. You can leave now.” Ginny sat on her chair as she saw a pouting Angie left the room.
She touched her swollen lips and thought about their kiss. His kiss was intensifying…SO intensifying that it left Ginny in a dreamy state.
