Here's another chapter. I hope you like the story so far. I can see people reading it and I just want to say that I am extremely grateful for that, even if there's no reviews. Gotta make a confession. English is not my first language and I am trying to do my best and not make it too boring for you. If you feel that it could use some changes (besides adding more lemons, which are coming soon, I promise) please let me know.
- “Albus, I can’t believe you’d support something like that.” – “I do, Poppy. No matter how preposterous it may seem now, I assure you I wouldn’t do anything without understanding how it could turn out in the future.” – “But… but they’re all so young. This is definitely not something you’d want to hurry yourselves into” she said looking at younger wizards and their redhead friend. – “Would you much rather prefer to see us miserable and angry like that git I call uncle?”- “No, Mister Malfoy. Of course not. I don’t think I’d be able to put up with another Severus at my old age, much less with two.” She looked at Ginny – What about you, Miss Wesley? Do you fully understand what you’re getting yourself into? Once it’s done, we won’t be able to reverse the spell.” – “I understand.” – “And you still want to go through with it?” – “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.” – “Very well, then.” She got up and pulled out two test tubes handing it to young wizards. – “Here, take it and bring it to me when you’re done.” Harry gave her a sheepish smile – “Oh, you want us to…” – “I do hope Mister Potter that you wouldn’t want me to explain to you what I expect you to do with it.” – “No” he cleared his throat feeling his cheeks turning bright red “I think I’ll figure it out myself.” – “Thank Gods for that. Now go.” She turned to Ginny handing her something resembling a hospital gown – “I need you to undress and put this on. After you’re done, lay down.” She turned to Headmaster – “Professor, I’ll need you to step out for a minute. Let’s give the girl some privacy. I’ll call you in to help me with the spell.” – “Of course.”
Ginny opened her eyes to see Draco and Harry standing by both sides of her bed. – “Are you ok?” Harry asked, sounding more anxious than he intended. – “I am fine. How long was I out for?” – “For about an hour. Do you feel any different?” – “Not really. I feel… fine.” She looked at Draco and giggled – “You look like you’re about to pass out.” – “Nonsense. I just… I … I want to make sure you’re ok before we go back to the Mansion.” – “I’m ok, really. Where is Hermione?” – “She’s at her house. Harry took her there when you were sleeping.” – “Is she ok?” – “Yeah, she just needed a little rest. She’ll come over tonight.” – “Ok than.” They all turned their heads as Dumbledore walked in with Madam Pomphrey following behind him. – “How do you feel, dear?” – “I feel fine, professor. Thank you. Do you think we can go now?” – “Well, if Madam Pomphrey doesn’t mind, I don’t see why not. What do you think, Poppy?” – “I don’t mind, Albus. I do want you however to come and see me in a few days, Ginevra.” – “I will, madam. I promise.”
Albus looked at two young wizards with the usual twinkle in his eyes – “I do hope I can rely on two of you to take good care of Miss Wesley.” – “Of course, professor.” Harry stated. “Thank you for your help. You too, Madam.” Draco offered his hand to the Headmaster, which to his surprise was gladly accepted – “Thank you, professor. For everything.” He turned to the old witch “To you too. I really appreciate what you did for us.” Dumbledore gave him a warm smile – “You’re welcome Mister Malfoy, and come see me in a few days. I believe we have your new apprenticeship to discuss.” – “Of course, professor. Thank you again.”
- “For the hundredth time, can you two please stop fussing around me? I feel fine. Hermione, can you please tell them.” – “Relax Ginns, we all just want to know that you’re ok. You went through a lot today.” – “I know, we all did, so can you please just let me drink my tea in piece, without you two standing over me?” She said throwing an agitated look at the blonde wizard. – “Fine. Just let us know if you need anything.” – “I will, Draco. Now both of you, please sit down before I start throwing hexes around. So what do you think is gonna happen with Snape?” she said turning her face to Hermione. – “I don’t know, Ginns. He thought that it was me. You should’ve seen the look on his face. Poor Severus. I don’t know how I’d feel if I learned that he’s about to father a child with another witch. He’s probably kicking himself for what he did.” – “Well he should. He acted like an absolute prick, which reminds me… Draco, do you want to do the honors or should I?” she said showing to the stairs leading to the second floor of the Mansion. Draco shook his head, so she got up and took a deep breath – “Fine, I’ll do it.”
-“Mister Malfoy? It’s Ginny, may I please come in?” she cracked the door open and slipped in, not hearing any answer. She walked to the bed and looked at the sleeping man. He looked so peaceful, so calm and so… she wasn’t sure if beautiful would be the exact word to describe him, but somehow that’s what came to mind. She just stood there feeling absolutely mesmerized with his aristocratic courtly looks. She couldn’t help but to compare him to Draco. There was no doubt that he was good looking. His hair was shorter than his father’s and the lineaments of his face more delicate with big beautiful gray blue eyes. The way he held himself didn’t leave any doubt that he was coming from a noble family of pure blue bloods. There was a definite resemblance, however all his polished looks could not compare to the refined, almost imperial features of his father.
Following a sudden urge, she sat on the side of the bed and brushed one silky blond strand away from his face, letting it slip through her fingers. She noticed that there was no stubble on his face anymore and before she could stop herself, she traced the side of his cheek all the way down to his lips. Suddenly, she was already gazing deeply into his eyes which changed their color to almost dark blue. Realizing that her fingers were still touching his face, she wanted to pull her hand away only to be stopped by one of his own. He brought it to his lips and placed a gentle kiss to each one of her small fingers before turning her hand and nuzzling into her palm. She gave him a warm smile before taking another attempt to pull her hand away. –“Don’t” came almost a whisper. – “I need to change your bandages” she said softly. – “Than, I’m all yours” he smiled offering her both of his hands. She took scissors out of the night stand, rolled his right sleeve up and carefully made a cut on an old bandage before removing it completely. She applied a healing balm and wrapped a new white strip of material around his wrist. – “Allow me” he said rolling the other sleeve and offering his left hand back to her. He saw both eyebrows come up, as she looked at his forearm not seeing any sign of the dark mark. She raised her eyes to him – “Are you wearing a glamour charm?” – “Quite a few, actually. Thought I’d make it easier on you.” – “You shouldn’t have” she said suddenly feeling upset. – “You don’t have to look at it. I thought…” – “There’s no point to hide it” she said more firmly “Because…” she stopped before she could finish her sentence. -“Because?” – “Never mind. Let’s just…”
- “Because hiding it, won’t change who I am inside, is that what you wanted to say?” he said turning her face back to him. She nodded – “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” – “You didn’t” he said closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. “You’re right. I caused a lot of pain to a lot of people and nothing in the world would ever change that. I wish the circumstances were different and I could take it all back, but I can’t. It is me who should be apologizing.” She looked at the man in front of her. Broken. Defeated. His words like a plea for forgiveness, but could he be trusted? He was one of the darkest, most dangerous wizards she’d known and yet he was only a man. A man whose name could not be said without abhorrence. Unwanted. Unloved. Unforgiven. A man that she knew she was hopelessly falling for.
She took his left arm and performed the same procedure. – “Thank you” his voice was barely hearable. Before she could think of what she was doing, she lowered herself to him and lightly brushed his lips with hers. Dark blue eyes flew open and gazed deeply into her green ones. One hand snaked behind her neck, pulling her closer. He nibbled on her lower lip before sucking it into his mouth, his tongue brushing over it, asking for entrance. Her lips parted and he deepened the kiss. She tangled her fingers into his hair lightly scratching his scull with her nails and was immediately rewarded with a low moan. His lips felt hot on her own, tongue entwining with hers, passionately exploring the inside of her mouth. The kiss was nothing like she’d expect from a man of his stature. It wasn’t too intense or overly demanding, but rather gentle and sensitive, as if he was allowing her to see the other side of him. It lasted for a few minutes before they had to part to catch some air. He was still looking at her, his eyes full of passion. Somehow their color got even darker and she felt like she was quickly loosing herself in them, drowning in this two bottomless oceans.
She needed to go, get as far away from him as she could before she’d give in and did something unthinkable. – “I’m sorry” she said getting up -”I need to go.” He propped himself up on his hand – “Did I do anything to upset you?” – “No. I just… I’m sorry, ok?” with that she ran out of the room. Lucius traced his lips with his finger, still feeling the softness of her kiss. For the first time in years he felt something really warm inside of him. Not just a lustful feeling of raw need to satisfy with any willing witch, but something that made him longing for so much more. It was almost ridiculous to think about, the girl was a year younger than his own son, but the feeling of having her close to him, kissing her, feeling the heat of her body was absolutely captivating.
- “Ginny, are you ok? We thought of going upstairs to check on you. What took so long?” – “Oh, sod off you too. I’m fine.” – “Ok, ok no need to get nasty. Do you need anything before going to sleep?” – “No, thank you Draco. You guys go, we’ll just chat for a bit longer if that’s ok.” – “Sure. Just make sure you get some rest and let us know if you need anything.” – “Ok, thank you mommy.” They watched the couple go upstairs. – “Ok, talk Ginns. What is it?” – “Nothing.” – “Nothing my arse. I know you and you don’t look like it’s nothing. What’s going on?” – “Ok, you’re right, it’s something it’s just…” – “What?” – “Ahm, we kinda kissed.” – “What? Lucius kissed you?” – “No, it’s actually the other way around. I kinda kissed him.” – “You, why?” – “I don’t know, because I guess I kinda like him.” – “Stop with this “kinda” stuff, girl. Are you saying you like Draco’s dad?” – “Ok, I know how it sounds and especially after what we did today, but I can’t help it. I think I’m falling for him. Oh my God Hermione, please don’t look at me like that, I feel bad as it is.” – “So, does it mean you don’t want that baby anymore?” – “No. Of course not. I still do. I told you, I wanted this and I wouldn’t change my decision for anything. Not that it’s possible now, but it doesn’t matter, even if it was.”
- “So, how do you think it’ll work out? I mean, you’ll have to tell him at one point.” – “I know” she said with a sigh. “I can also imagine Draco’s reaction when he learns about it.” Hermione gave her friend a cheerful smile – “I guess we’ll just have to prepare ourselves for another battle than. Imagine the headlines “The Battle of The Malfoys – The Last Survivors” they laughed till their eyes began to tear. – “Thanks, Mione. That’s just what I needed.”
