Ginny meets with Lucius to negotiate a deal. Will he go for it? What are his terms?
Ginny stood before her wardrobe trying to decide what to wear for her meeting with Lucius Malfoy. If she had any hope of him taking her offer seriously, she needed to look like a professional, yet sexy adult. At work she wore a uniform and the majority of her muggle clothing were casual or for clubbing. Digging towards the back, she located a white silk blouse and a navy blue skirt. They would just have to do.
She had been shocked at his quick response to her request to meet with him. Almost immediately Hedwig had returned with an expensive looking parchment in her beak. He had invited her to meet with him in his office at Malfoy Manor, Monday morning at precisely 11 am. She was to floo directly from her living room to his front foyer.
After a quick appraisal of her appearance, Ginny stood before the living room fire place. 'It's now or never she told herself grabbing a handful of floo powder. She was glad that he had arranged for a late morning meeting. Both Harry and Draco where already at work. Harry in the Auror's office at the Ministry and Draco in his office at Gringotts. She was not ready for them to know of her plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glancing up, Lucius Malfoy noted the time, 10:45. Ms. Weasley should be arriving soon for their meeting. Leaning back in his chair, he rubbed his finger across his bottom lip. Her request for a meeting puzzled him, he could not imagine why she wanted to see him. He had become accustomed to seeing her at his son's house, but their interactions had been minimal. In fact she always seem quite flustered and eager to leave the room whenever he was around. Not that he could blame her, he supposed. He shook his head at the pang of guilt he felt. He had only been following instruction when he had slipped her the diary that day in Flourish and Blotts. He had been told to ensure that the book made it's way into Hogwarts undetected. He had no idea it would risk a young girls life.
A light tap on his door, interrupted his thoughts. "Come in." He called out.
"Ms. Weasley is here to see you Master.
"Thank you Tibbs. Show her in."
Lucius stood and walked to the front of his desk. He held out his hand as Ginny was shown into the room by the tiny house elf. "Ms. Weasley." He said, shaking her hand. "Welcome to Malfoy Manor. May I offer you some refreshments?
"No. Thank you." Ginny answered, struggling to keep her voice level. His hand felt strong and hot in hers.
"That will be all Tibbs." Lucius said, dismissing the elf. "Have a seat. To what do I owe the honor of this visit?"
Settling back into his office chair, Lucius took a moment to appreciate her appearance. No longer a skinny little girl, Ginny Weasley had grown up to be a lovely young woman. This afternoon she was dressed professionally, but he had often seen her at his son's home dressed in tiny vests and tight fitting shorts. Outfits that often tormented him in his dreams and his fantasies.
Ginny took a deep calming breath. She was nervous and her hands trembled, she grasped them together in her lap and hoped he hadn't noticed them shaking. Glancing up she saw that he was waiting patiently for her to begin.
"The other day I overheard Draco telling Harry that the ministry has suggested you marry either a muggleborn or someone who supported Dumbledore during the war."
"That suggestion was made to me, yes."
"Well. I was wondering if you would consider me for marriage."
Lucius eyebrows rose and he struggled to hide his shock, clearly he had misunderstood. "I beg your pardon?"
Ginny sighed, hating to have to say it again. "I think that I am exactly the type of woman the ministry is suggesting you marry. While my family is pureblood, we have always been viewed as "blood traitors." My brother is one third of the Golden Trio for Merlin sake. I was hoping that you and I could come to an arrangement that would benefit us both in the end."
Lucius steepled his hands in front of his face and tapped his fingers on his lips. "If I am understanding you correctly." He spoke slowly and carefully. "You are offering yourself to me as a potential wife."
"Yes." Ginny said nodding her head. "I think by marrying me, you would be able to show the Wizarding world that you have changed and you are not the same man who aligned with Lord Voldemort. I know I can help you improve your image."
"And what is in it for you?"
Reaching into her purse, Ginny extracted a handful of credit card statements, blushing slightly she handed them to him across the desk.
Lucius spread the documents out on his desk and studied them carefully. Ginny chewed on her bottom lip as he extracted a piece of parchment and made several notations. After what felt like hours, but in reality was probably only 10 minutes, Lucius leaned back in his chair and stared at Ginny.
"So Ms. Weasley, in a mere," he lifted up the parchment and examined his notes, "9 months you have managed to accumulate £15,785.98 in unsecured debt. That's quite a fete." He smirked at her, his lips twitching up at the corners. "I believe you've even surpassed Draco in the spending spree category. So, Ms. Weasley," his eyes scanning over the documents, "if I am understanding the situation correctly, you are offering to marry me if I pay your credit card debt."
"No Mr. Malfoy." She said, sitting up a little straighter in her chair. "I am offering to date you if you will take care of my credit card debt."
"Date me? But not marry me?"
"If we were to just up and get marry it would be suspicious. Everyone would suspect your motives. If we were to date, get to know each other, be seen publicly courting, it would seem more like a true marriage." Ginny rushed to continue, seeing that she had captured his attention. "And if for some reason we discovered we don't get along, could never stand being married to each other, we could simply part ways, but you still would have improved your standings by dating a Weasley."
"Then I would be seen as the big bad Death Eater who broke the littlest Weasley's heart."
Ginny scrunched her nose in annoyance at being called little. "Okay." She said, after some thought. "If we should decide to part ways, you can blame the entire break up on me. Say I cheated or something."
"And you are offering me all this for the low, low price of £15,785.98?"
She nodded her head in affirmation.
"What about sex?"
"What?" Ginny's eyes flew open in surprise.
"Sex Ms. Weasley. It's when a man and a woman..."
"I know what sex is." She said blushing. "What I don't understand is your question.
"While we are dating and if we are married, will there be sex involved?" He rocked back in forth in his office chair, his gray eyes watching her carefully. "I enjoy sex a great deal and I have no desire to be in a sexless relationship, neither dating and certainly not in marriage. I'm not suggesting that we have sex immediately," he added quickly when he saw her face blanch," what I'm asking is, do you see me as someone you could have sex with eventually. I am 27 years your senior after all. If you see me as some old man you could never be intimate with then our negotiations can end right now."
Ginny flushed crimson. She wanted to look away, but she forced herself to maintain his steady gaze. "I don't see that as a problem Mr. Malfoy."
His lips twitched again in a smirk. "I believe we may have a deal Ms. Weasley." He picked up a calendar and paged through it. "I'll have my solicitor draw up an agreement. Would you be able to meet me at his office, say," he glanced the calendar again, "a week from Tuesday at noon? We can go over the agreement and sign the papers then."
"That should be fine. Mr. Malfoy." Ginny said, standing up and shaking his hand. "I'll see you then."
