As Days Go By

***Okay, sorry if this is a bit confusing. This story is going to be told through Draco's perceptive. Well that's my plans for now. It worked for me before. So Jonathon is Ginny's new boyfriend and Draco is well nothing to her...yet. The whole concept of him babysitting her probably isn't new. Crap like any of this is new. Anyway please have some sort of faith in me. If it sucks way too horrible then you'll never see the next chapter. I took my fist D/G fic down but then re-posted it later. It came out alright and this one will too.

See, I originally planed this to be a one shot but I just couldn't let it be. I need to torture Draco and I'm not in the mood to right a sequel where it's going to be all sad instead of angst. Angst I can deal with but too much drama...argh!***

Draco winced as he heard Ginny's words and Jonathon's calm voice. No matter how much she would yell the other would remain calm and collected. He couldn't stay that docile even if the other woman was Ginny. Needless to say he thinks Jonathon is wiped. Poor guy and by a righteous Griffyndorf.

"Weasley," he called after her as she brushed past him in a rush. She seemed to be fleeing Jonathon which he doesn't mind.

"Now is not the time Malfoy," she tossed over his shoulder. He shrugged off her words and followed her. She looks sexy mad. Well she's not just mad. He can practically see smoke coming out of her ears.

Knowing better than to throw a snide comment in there he kept his mouth shut and as hard as it was his hands to himself. He thought he looked like a lost puppy dog following around a pissed Weasley. Not that he looks much different than her boyfriend.

Finally sensing his still persistent presence she stopped aburtly and spun facing him. He quickly stopped just before colliding. The look on her face made him wished he had taken both of them down on impact instead.

"What part of get lost don't you understand?" He almost let his eyebrows drop into a frown. She's not only trying to push him away but shove him. It sent a familiar feeling into the pit of his stomach.

"You tell me," he said crossing his arms over his chest. "After all you know how to turn your back on people." Oh no! Her eyes widened before narrowing into dangerous slits. Wishing he hadn't said that he quickly uncrossed his arms just in time to catch the wrist just inches from contact to his pale cheek.

"That's my face," he warned softly.

"Well turn around then so I can kick your ass." He smirked and pushed her hand away.

"I never knew you were the violent type. What else did you keep from me Virginia?" She ripped her hand back and he was certain she was going to make contact again. Instead she spun back around and walked off without him. Her slight departure gave him a moment to catch his breath before chasing her once again. Not that it'll be the last time.

"Are we a bit sore on secrets Gin?" he asked his lips brushing against her ear. He had to run to catch her this time. Not that he hasn't been chasing after her longer than she's realized.

A low growl sounded in the back of her throat before the roles were reversed. She became in total control when she turned and shoved him back against a wall. Her palms laid flat against the wall beside his head and his body was pinned between hers and the cold stone wall of the dungeons. Of course he could have easily pushed her away. She weighs nothing compared to some of the girls that literally throw themselves at him.

"You have no right calling me on any secrets. You are the biggest liar I know Malfoy."

"I don't lie." There she smirked at him. It took all his self control not to wipe it off with his mouth. "I stretch the truth." That was as real as he was going to get. Sure he'd like to bare his soul to her some more again. Not right now when she has another guy that has to do the same thing. Ginny is a really good listener.

"So tell me now then. While I'm here right in front of...no one else around. How many of it was all lies? What didn't you say just to get me in your bed?!" He had a strange feeling of falling. Where the hell did that come from? How could she actually ask him something like that? Doesn't she know? How can she not know the truth?

"My bed?" She sneered at him. Oh the audacity of feigning his ignorance. With another girl he could see how she would think that. It's happened in other instances. Not with her though never. There was no lying involved. It had all been true.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Malfoy. You've had so many girls in it you almost have an imprint of their bodies on the mattress." Again he had to fight the flinch. It felt like her hand had flown right across his face.

"And what about Jonathon? How good is he? Why in the hell is he in Slytherin if he's such a pure goody two shoes?" She clenched her jaw to the point that he could hear her teeth grinding together.

"My boyfriend is none of your damn business!" That's not true or that's not the way it used to be. She used to tell him about all the guys in her life. He knows about all her past history with the idiots that crushed her heart or she dumped before they even had a chance. She's broken probably almost as many hearts as he has but without even knowing it.

"Really? Then why does he confide in me about you?" Her eyebrows flew up and the surprise was more than evident on her face. It was a lie. Jonathon isn't that forthcoming about his Ginny. It's more like the guy only wants to socialize when Ginny is around. Draco could swear it's to rub it into his face. See what I have and you want!

"He doesn't!" He almost smiled triumphantly. Getting under her skin is better than having her back to him all the time.

"He loves when you scrunch up your nose when he kisses you. He says he thinks it's adorable."

"He didn't tell you that! Anyone could say that." Yeah well he thinks it's adorable.

"Fine, he's afraid to push you further. He's more than ready but you're," he paused and gave her a thoughtful look. "How was it that he put it? Oh yeah...locked at the knees." This time he couldn't fight the flinch. The hand that was placed intimadatingly beside his head came down to fly across his face. The sting and echo were more than evident in his facial expression.

"Damn," he cried. "Merlin Weasley I thought you were a crusader for the truth!"

"Truth! You're sprouting off lies!"

"How do you know that? Do you think you're righteous boyfriend is going to tell you things like that? Just be thankful that I'm not one to sugar coat everything." She rolled her eyes back and slammed her hands against the wall right beside his ears.

"I hate you. I can't even stand the sound of your breathing." He felt himself being lowered to pond scum. She was even trying to kick him down even further. How much lower can he go?

"But you could make do with my panting in your ear?" His head turned with the smack again. Deserved that one too. It's a shame it hurts, though.

"Fuck you Malfoy!" Go in for the kill!

"We didn't get that far Virginia."

He should be dead right now. That was far beyond where he had wanted to go. It deserved an eye gouge and a smack down drag out brawl. Instead she surprised him by turning and walking off again. It was a steady quick pace but he could tell she was upset. Her body was rigid and he could see the trembles even as she was walking further away.

"Shit! First day and I'm already screwing it all up." What does she expect though? She's the one that has made him bitter.

*************************************************

First off it's her fault and secondly, and therefore more importantly, he doesn't apologize. What kind of weak bastard would he be if she brought him to his knees? Even bringing him down to an apology would be bad enough. It just isn't going to happen. Not now and not ever!

"Look Weasley," he sighed standing behind her in the library. She had escaped for a while, but he had found her. It just took forever looking everywhere. "I'm sorry." She nodded as if she wasn't really listening and didn't even care. Which is probably right in both instances.

"Weasley...are you even listening?" She shook her head. It almost made him chuckle. 'Can you hear me?' 'No.'

"Virginia?" She turned her head slowly to the side not even looking at him. He could see the tightness of her jaw. She looks pissed.

"Sit down already. I know no matter what I'm going to have to put up with you this whole week. So let's make some things clear." He did as he was told and sat in the seat beside her. Whatever you say, Gin.

She looked back down at the notebook and not at him as she seemed to choose her words. Not that he minded the silence. It's better than her calling him a liar. Not that he would care the least about what another girl thought about him. Pansy is one of those girls he tries to avoid like the plague. Getting too close and you may catch something they haven't a name for yet.

"We don't talk. I don't like you, and I'm not about to pretend. You put yourself in that position so don't give me that look." Draco quickly wiped it from his face. Without even having to look at him she could have guessed it. Disappointment. "Just keep your space and I'll be...nice."

He almost smirked but nodded instead. She backed herself into a corner. Things began to quickly churn in his head. Talking? What's so great about talking? A lot of other things can be accomplished without talking being involved. Right now, even as pathetic as it sounds, he's to the point where he'll take anything. Ginny just doesn't know what she's gotten herself into. Yet.

***God I really am hoping this is going somewhere. Please?! Anyway I hope this is a bit less confusing than the other one. I'm so busy with work, my boyfriend, and my "family" that it's hard to get time to right and even focus to concentrate. Anyway it's short but some rules have been set. Let's see how much Ginny likes them. Until next time...Thanks R/R. Karnikiss
