I Wish I Never Met Her

By: Thats So Raven

It was love at first sight

I know the from the way she looked at me

Her eyes said it all

Draco could still remember the day he met Ginny. He was walking out of his office building in the pouring rain. Across the road there was a petite red head struggling to carry at least six bags and an umbrella. She was getting ready to walk over a big puddle. The gentlemanly thing to do would have been to lay his robe over the puddle so she could walk over it. But he was Draco Malfoy, and his robes were made of the finest material, so that was a definite no. He watched as she fell to the ground, causing all her belongings and herself to get wet.

He let out a small laugh before crossing the street and helping her up off the ground.

She grumbled as she looked down at herself, “Thank you. It seems as though today is just not my day.” She looked up, her brown eyes transfixed on his grey ones.

“You’re welcome, Weasley.” It had been ten years since he was at Hogwarts, ten years can do a lot to a person, she looked beautiful.

She let out a loud sigh, “Today is really not my day! So please, let me be on my way.” She started walking again, leaving the umbrella, it would be of no help now.

Draco picked up the umbrella and walked towards her, he put it up and over her.

She looked back and smiled, “Thanks.”

Draco ended up walking her back to her flat, ‘Just ask her!’ his brain was telling him, ‘If you ask a question you’re a fool for five minutes, if you don’t ask a question, you’re a fool forever.’

“Will you go out to dinner with me?” He burst out.

She looked up at him, surprised. She seemed to be thinking about as she bit her bottom lip, “Sure, why not.”

Draco smirked, “Saturday at eight sound okay?” She nodded.

They said their goodbyes and he apperated home.

Long days and nights, we spent

Until she dropped the bomb on me

When she said that she

Was unhappily married with children

Draco stepped away from Ginny, his heart pounding in his chest, letting her previous words process in his brain.

‘I’m married, Draco’ she had said.

“You’re married!?” he yelled. He had never felt so angry.

“Draco, I’m sorry! Please, you have to understand!”

“Understand? How you lied to me all this time!? You’re a married woman, Ginny!” His chest was heaving, “I can’t believe you, and here I thought I loved you.”

“Seamus and I were deciding whether or not to get a divorce, I was living at a separate flat, and he stayed at home with the children.”

“You’re married to Finnegan? And to top it all off, you have children! What kind of mother are you?” he spat.

She gasped and moved her hand to slap him, he caught her wrist, “I’ll have you know that I am a very good mother, and what I was doing is not cheating! We were separated!”

And I wish I never met her at all

Even though I love her so

She got love from me

But she still belongs to someone else

Draco dropped her wrist, “How could you?”

“Draco, I love you, I really do.”

“You are married! I shouldn’t even have to stress how important marriage is! With kids to boot!”

“Do you love me, Draco?” she asked tearfully.

“How can you ask me that at a time like this?”

“Do you love me, Draco?” She asked again.

“Merlin knows I love you, Ginny. But you belong to Finnegan.”

“I don’t belong to anyone. I’m allowed to do whatever it is I want.”

It hurts so bad, for sure

Because she wants to be with me

But she cannot be with me

She chose to stay, at home

So they could be a family

For the children

But what about me?

“What are you going to do then?”

“I want to be with you, but I can’t.” She wiped away some fallen tears, “Seamus and I decided to stay together, for the children. It looks like I’m stuck with him until they’re out of the house.”

Draco glared at her and thought, ‘Your father was right, love makes you weak.’

“I don’t understand, if you don’t love him, and you love me, don’t stay with him! Come with me.”

“We have kids together, Draco! I can’t just leave them behind.”

“Bring them with you.” It was a chance he was willing to take. Ginny was silent while something occurred to Draco, “Why didn’t you ever wear a wedding ring?”

Ginny shrugged, “When I moved into the flat, I didn’t wear it as often, not out in public, at least.”

Draco shook his head, “I suppose this is goodbye then.”

More tears ran down Ginny’s face as she nodded, “Draco, I’m so sorry. If I could go back and do everything differently, I would. But it’s in the past, and I can’t.”

Maybe in another life

Things could be the way

We both desired

It’s a catch 22

Either way it went

Someone had to lose

Ginny took a step towards Draco and wrapped her arms around his neck, “I love you so much.” She said sadly. She kissed him on the cheek and turned around to floo home, from his manor.

Draco watched her leave, his mind numb with misery. That would probably be the last time he saw her. She waved and was gone. Draco sat down on the couch and stared into the roaring flames, “Damn Weasley’s.”

Never at all

Even though, I love her so

She’s got love for me

But she still belongs to someone else

Draco felt something wet slide down his cheek. He reached up to wipe it away, and discovered a tear….he was crying. He didn’t have the strength to wipe away the rest of them. He covered his face with his hands and gave up to despair.

Who would have ever thought it? Draco Malfoy falling in love with a Weasley.

Draco couldn’t believe the pain in his heart; it felt as though she had ripped it out and stepped all over it. The Weasley girl had blocked the way for any other girl in his life, he would never love again.

I wish, I wish, I never met her at all

I wouldn’t hurt so much inside.
