Angel Kisses
By RowlingIdol (a.k.a. Lauren G.)
Author's Note: Takes place after my story- `Harry Potter and the Final Moon'. It's okay if you don't read it before hand. This is my Draco/Ginny pairing. This is also posted on `fanfiction.net'. `Angel Kisses' is completed (hurrah!), but just like my other mostly finished stories, and the finished ones, I will be adding chapters little by little, or until people start begging for more. :)
The first week of summer vacation had gone by. People went their separate ways, others never to return. The Weasley family was rowdy with kids again. Fred and George now worked in Hogsmeade again at Zonko's. Bill was visiting for a short time and Charlie was home visiting also, with a considerable amount of burns. Percy was still a bachelor and anxiously awaited work back at the Ministry of Magic. Arthur quit his Muggle job and was working to help re-construct the Ministry of Magic building. Ron convinced his parents to let Leila live with them. She didn't have any family left. Other than that, the household was back to normal.
Mrs. Weasley was washing the dishes in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Dishtowel in hand, she walked to the front door. She opened it and Draco Malfoy stood before her. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Weasley. Can Ginny come out and play?" He asked sweetly. "Of course." Mrs. Weasley smiled. "I'll go get her. Come in." Draco stepped into the house and Mrs. Weasley went to find her daughter. Mr. Weasley came down the stairs leafing through a stack of papers. He looked up and saw Draco standing in the doorway. Their eyes locked for a moment. Just then, Ginny came barreling down the stairs. "Hey." Draco said to Ginny who grinned at him. He held out his arm and Ginny took it, closing the door behind her. Arthur walked over to the window and watched Draco and Ginny walk down the walkway. "You miss me?" Draco asked. "Yeah." "I'm glad. It's not the same without you nearby." Ginny smiled. "So, what are you planning for tonight?" Draco said, slipping an arm around her waist. "I don't know." Ginny looked up at her house. She swore she saw Fred and George peeking out at them. She turned her head back to Draco. "Probably suffering another rant about the news and work. And more stories from Charlie and Bill." "No fun, eh?" Draco asked. "Not much." Ginny shrugged her shoulders. "How about this for fun?" Draco said, grinning and poking her waist. Almost all girls and boys are ticklish there (try it and see). Ginny giggled. Draco kept on tickling her. She broke out of his grasp and Draco chased her around the yard. He caught her and starting tickling her. Draco and Ginny were rolling around in the grass laughing. Arthur felt a smile come to his lips. He walked outside and the laughing subsided. "Afternoon, Mr. Weasley." Draco said, brushing grass off his knees and then helping Ginny up. "Afternoon." Mr. Weasley said. Ginny stood behind Draco as he and her father exchanged glances again. "I thank you for what you did for our family, son." Arthur said. Draco nodded. Silence. "Does that mean that you'll give permission for Ginevra to come over to my house tonight?" Draco asked. Mr. Weasley thought it over before nodding. "All right." Mr. Weasley replied. "Thank you, sir." Draco said. Ginny clutched his arm. There was another long silence. "I guess we'll go now." Draco said. "Bye Daddy." Ginny said. They walked to his car, arm in arm. Draco helped her into his shiny black Lexus.
Draco pulled into the horseshoe shape driveway and parked the car in front of a fountain of a sea serpent with a stream of water flowing from its mouth. A black suited man came over and opened Ginny's door. "Thank you." Ginny said. "Certainly Miss Ginevra." Said the man. Draco came around the car and nodded to the man. They walked to the house. "That's Michael. He's the butler." "You have butlers?" Ginny asked. "And maids. We had a house-elf, but he got freed some time ago." Ginny nodded. She knew everything from her first year. The house was large and had cold floors. "So what are we going to do tonight?" Ginny asked, looking up at the spiral staircase. "You'll see." Draco led her out to the backyard with a garden that overlooked a small lake. A brand new looking bench sat facing the lake. Draco and Ginny sat down on it. Ginny looked up at Draco and studied his face. "This is where your parents killed themselves, isn't it?" She asked. "Yeah. The chains are still down there." Draco wrapped his arms around Ginny's waist and she slid down the bench so she could rest against him. The sound of the water lapping against the rocks almost lulled Ginny to sleep. "Draco?" Ginny asked. "Hmmm?" Draco asked, playing with her hair. "What first drew you to me? I want to know, honestly." She said. "Everything about you." Draco said. "But when?" Ginny asked. "After I was released from my father's spell." "Refresh my memory." Ginny said, tugging at his thumb. Draco continued. "It was my fifth year, your fourth. Voldemort hadn't been back for a year. Maybe a couple of months. The Dark Lord didn't succeed in killing Harry. Father was furious. So furious he put me under a spell, to make me evil." "Am I still a ho?" Ginny asked Draco. "You called me that." "No. Not at all. You're an angel in my real eyes." Ginny smiled and closed her eyes. She snuggled up against him. "The Ministry put him in Azkaban and took the spell off me. At least they thought they did. The spell only worked when my father wanted it and he could still control me from jail. When Voldemort freed all his Death Eaters from there, the spell continued. "At school sometimes I would be my regular nasty self, but other times I would be extremely nasty to everybody, back talking and everything. During Christmas, my mother convinced my father to take the spell off me. I was back to normal, but my Father had a total attitude change. Azkaban changed him. He began beating me up for no reason. Mother didn't like it at first, but it was nothing she could control. At least my cut lip and my bruises healed before I went back to school. That's when I realized what it meant to be picked on and talked trash too. I apologized to everyone I had hurt by considerably changing my attitude to them. I even secretly apologized to Hermione and your brother, but not to their faces." "And Harry?" "I never did apologize to him that year. My father would keep an eye on me, making sure nothing about the Dark Lord slipped. My attitude changes were taken lightly, but if I made any nice movement towards Harry I would have a nice shiner on one of my eyes before you could say 'Unfair'." "Did he really do that?" Ginny said. "Did I get a black eye? No." "No, I mean hurt you." "Yeah. I got used to it after a while. I steered away from my father whenever I could. Anyways, when I had made my actions nicer to people, other people didn't shy away from people like they did. It was still fun to tease Longbottom, I never meant to hurt him after that. It was a habit." "What about Ron, Hermione, and Harry." "Still teased them too, not a lot though." Ginny sighed and shifted her shoulders. "Am I making you mad?" Draco asked her. "Not much. Get to me already." Draco smiled as he looked down at her. "Well, I saw you in the Great Hall on New Year's Eve and our eyes met." "Your hair was slicked back and you were drinking your pumpkin juice." Ginny said, remembering that moment. "Your hair was let down and you had finished your dinner and listening to your friends talk." Draco said. "I smiled at you. Dad had talked about you at home. He said people at work suspected your dad was abusing you. They knew about the spell. I felt kind of bad." "I liked your smile. I felt that there was finally someone who cared, even if they didn't know me that well. They cared. Just a little bit, about what had happened to me. Crabbe and Goyle didn't talk to me much since they were afraid I would snap at them like I had when I was under the spell. Other Slytherin's pretty much avoided me. "Then I started not paying attention in Care of Magical Creatures. You had Herbology at the same time I did and I watched you through the greenhouse windows. I timed my entrances to class so I would pass you." Draco laughed a little. "You could say I memorized your schedule." "You did." Ginny reminded him. Draco grinned. "Then when your fifth year started and my sixth, I wanted to do something. I had never talked to you since." "So you sent me your owl. You sent me a note wanting to meet you outside by the lake. I didn't want to go at first, but I went anyways." "I was as nervous as hell." Draco recalled. "But from then on I wasn't only attracted to you for your beauty, but for your personality, and the person who you were inside, and the fact that you didn't care about my past. You liked me for me, for the person I really was." Draco leaned down and kissed the top of Ginny's hair. She giggled. It was getting colder as the sun was setting. Draco looked down at her. "You're cold." He said. "I'll get you a sweater." Draco helped Ginny up and they walked back to the house. "You really don't have to." Ginny said, sitting on Draco's bed, green plaid flannel sheets. "I had more planned for tonight outside." Draco said, rummaging through his closet. He picked out a big green sweater and tossed it to Ginny. "Put that on." He said. Ginny pulled the sweater over her shirt and breathed in Draco's smell. She smiled.
