Slytherin Pride

Scars and Hope

Ginny's POV
I tried to pull the shards of glass out of my skin, but my hands were shaking so badly from embarrassment and emotion, it made the broken shards drive farther in. I had knocked over a whole shelf of potion vials in my haste to be alone, and the glass had hit me all over, cutting my face and arms. I reached for a shard and started cutting my arms more. I cut once for Mione. How could she? A second and a third for my embarrassment with Draco. And a forth, fifth, and sixth for being myself and getting emotional. I was supposed to love Harry. What happened? I pulled my knees up to my chest as I thought about what happened. It just made my sobs louder. I heard a creak, and the door to the potions closet opened. Draco Malfoy entered.

Draco's POV
I walked in to talk to Ginny. I was so pissed at Granger, I could just burst. The site that met my grey eyes made my heart shatter. Huddled in the corner was Ginny. Shards of glass were stuck in her face and, from what it looked like, she had slammed the door and all the vials had fallen on top of her. She was sobbing. I almost let tears slip from my eyes as well. She was so beautiful. I hated Granger. Gin was perfect. She shouldn't try to crush her spirit like that. She looked up at me and tried to pull the sleeves of her robe down and I glanced at her arms. They were covered with one...three...four...seven long cuts that were pouring blood. She-she did that?! No. She was so beautiful. I loved her. "What d-do you need? I c-can g-go..." she stammered, obviously trying to stop her sobs. "No, no. Please stay." I walked over to her. I stared at all the little shards. She noticed and tried to wipe the blood. "No, stop. Your just pressing them farther in. Here let me..." She shook her head and I guessed why. "Oh, um, yeah, sorry. You probably think I'll curse you or something. Sorry." She shook her head looking troubled. "No, not at all! I fully trust you, just...I didn't think you'd want to touch my bloody arms that's all." I chuckled. "Believe me, I'm ok with it." I gently grabbed her right arm. "Accio vial shards!" With that all the shards came out and hovered in the air. I moved them into the opposite corner of the room. Next, I took her left and did the same thing. I then preformed a mending spell and all the cuts healed. She smiled and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, gripping her shoulders. She bowed her head a let a tear fall onto my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head. She looked up. I gazed into her blue eyes trying to count how many shades of aqua I saw. I stood up to leave. I waved and started to walk out, but I lost my balance and fell into the pile of shards. Tears of pain escaped my eyes, but I stood up and started to continue out the door, knowing which arm I fell on. But Ginny ran after me, grabbing me. "You're hurt now. Sit." I shook my head not wanting to raise my shirt sleeve up. My left arm. "What, do you not trust me?" I could see the hurt in her eyes. I shook my head. "I would die for you." I whispered barely making a sound. She looked down and gasped. Blood had bled through my white sleeved shirt and was half way up my arm. "Sit." She practically ordered. I did. "Pull your shirt off." I had to smirk at this. "Oh, well we're taking a huge step in our relationship." I said it chuckling, and Ginny did too while blushing crimson red. I did, trying to hide my smirk as her eyes bulged out of her head. "What, does Potter not show off?" She slightly shook her head staring at my rock hard stomach. She shook her head. "Give me your arm." The smile faded. "R-right." I finally pulled my arm from behind my back and she gasped. Again. "Is-is that the-the...wait, Draco...oh my god..." she stuttered so bad and looked so disgusted that a tear rolled down my cheek. She started to rub the dried blood away from my many scrapes. "What are these?!" I looked down tears cascading down my cheeks. "What?" I asked confused. I only had one dark mark last time I checked. "These." That's when I got it.
Ginny's POV
Five heavy lines were carved over his dark mark. They looked infected and old. He-he but he's so just...perfect. Why would he do that?! I tore some of my t-shirt apart and pressed it down on the wounds and he hissed. I gasped. I forgot to remove the shards of glass. "Oh gosh, oh gosh!!! I'm so sorry. Uh um oh a-accio." I fumbled with my words, startled that I made a mistake. After all the shards were out then I went back to prodding the wound with great care. The blood started to disappear.
Draco's POV
She-she is healing me. Tears continued to roll down my face. I was so messed up. Why was I so mean? Why did I make everyone hate me? I didn't know. She handled, or cradled my arm more like, With great care. She breathed a sigh. "Done. Now..." she did something so unexpected. She bent down and kissed my arm. My cuts that would never go away. My arm tingled from her touch. She looked up into my eyes tears running down her cheeks too. "I-I'm so sorry draco...you're so wonderful. Why would you ever do that? I mean, I do, but I-I mess up everything. You're...you're, well, amazing. Perfect." She stared intently into my eyes. "Love. I was a prat all those years. I looked up to you. I shouldn't be worth your time." I reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Another tear slipped from my eyes. I sighed. "Damn tears." She laughed and more fell tears fell onto the floor. "Come here." She looked at me but scooted closer. Until she was touching my legs. "Closer. here I'll help you." And with that I drew up her legs and sat her bridal style in my lap. She laughed. "It's almost like you care Malfoy." I smiled too. "I guess I do. I can't deny it any longer." She laid her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and she pulled closer shivering. "Oh. Sorry it's the draft." She said but I only smiled and draped my bloody sleeved shirt around her making sure to not let the sleeve touch her. "Thanks." She pulled it tighter around her. I kissed the top of her head. Her hair smelt of lavender. Lavender...that's what I had smelt in the Admorata potion. Wow, I'm in love with Ginny Weasley. She looked up. "You missed." I was confused at her words. "What?" She snickered. "You missed my lips on the kiss. You need to work on your aim, it hit the top of my head." It finally clicked. "Oh, so miss Weasley wants a kiss?" She laughed. "Duh." I laughed and started to lean in. Each second felt like a mile but it was all worth it. We attached our lips. At first short little pecks that were strung together but then I licked her bottom lip asking for an entrance. She gladly accepted. My tongue explored her mouth and she smiled again, but this time on my lips. Her lips...oh her lips. They were so pink and soft. She moaned slightly and I almost broke away just to fully smirk. I made Ginny moan! She took it the next step up. Tangling her fingers in my platinum blonde hair. We stood up, not breaking apart. I pushed her against the wall. She wrapped her legs around me and I felt a feeling in my stomach. "G-Ginny. Your making m-me-" I heard a gasp behind me. I broke apart and Ginny untangled her legs faster than anyone thought possible. There in the door way stood Harry Potter. How could I have been so stupid? "I-I see you had something going. I'll leave you to it then." The Boy Who Lived sprinted off. Ginny looked horrified. "I-I'm so sorry Weasley I didn't. I shouldn't have- I just-I'm sorry!!!" She shushed me. "That was the best kiss I ever had. Thank you." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and started to leave. "Hey, Weasley..." She turned to face me a half smirk on her face. "Meet me in the Room of Requirement. Oh, and you missed." I said pointing to the spot on my cheek where she kissed me. She laughed and sprinted over and kissed me full on the lips and then ran off before I could thank her back. Dang. That girl doesn't play around when she's in the mood. I touched my lips. They felt hot. They stung as if on fire. I had never ever gone that far in a kiss...oh Merlin.
