Goodbye To You

Chapter One

Ginny Weasley stared at her reflection. She wasn't smiling on what should have been the happiest day of her life. The white dress fit her nicely, showing off all the curves she wanted to emphasize.

She was marrying Harry Potter in just a half hour, and her mind was on someone else.

She and Harry had been together since her sixth year, almost five years, and they had a good relationship. He treated her well and he cared about her. It made her feel guilty knowing that she was only marrying him because the one she truly loved was marrying someone else in a few days.

Harry didn't seem to notice her lack of emotion towards him. But then, Ginny didn't notice Harry's.

Tears filled her eyes at the thought of being with Harry until her dying day. And he didn't even set her blood on fire. That was reserved for one person, and one person only.

"Gin, you all right?" Hermione Granger came into the room wearing a beautiful light blue dress. She looked at Ginny with concern.

Ginny wiped her eyes quickly and pulled the veil over her face. "Yeah. Just peachy."

Her brother's fiancée frowned in disbelief. She was one of only two people in the world who knew about the other man in her past life.

Hermione sighed. "Gin, you don't have to marry Harry. There's no law that says you do."

But Ginny wasn't listening. She was staring intently out the window at the heads passing by. For a split second she could have sworn she saw a familiar head of hair. Then she shook her head firmly. No, he wouldn't be here. That was a long time ago.

Sixteen-year-old Virginia Weasley was happy. Finally the start of her sixth year. One more year and she'd be the only Weasley left at Hogwarts. And no one would be able to meddle in her life.

She was walking down the corridor when a hand reached out and pulled her into an empty compartment. She was roughly pushed against the back of the door and hands enveloped her waist before a pair of hungry lips claimed hers.

She was shocked for all of a minute before returning the kiss. Her body was tingling and her heart was pounding in her ears. She let out a soft moan and felt a tongue slid in her mouth waging a silent war with her own.

Ginny moved a hand into his hair and dragged her fingernails lightly over his scalp. He let out a soft sigh and deepened the kiss, pulling her closer to his body.

She pushed away to catch her breath and he took the opportunity to move to other important parts, mainly her neck. She tried to control the shiver that raced through her body, but it was pointless because she was shaking all over, thanks to the tongue and mouth moving over her pulse.

She didn't know why he made her feel this way, the only one who could, but she had no complaints.

"Have a fun summer, Draco?" she squeaked out, as his hands moved under her shirt, running across her stomach and chest.

His mouth attacked the sensitive spot behind her ear. "No. It was miserable. I missed you, Gin."

His words left her shaking even more. "It's only been two weeks."

She felt him shrug. "It was only for ten minutes. Besides, two weeks is a long time not to hold you," he explained nonchalantly.

Draco's mouth left her skin and she instantly felt cold. his hands smoothed over her hips and he tugged her to him, kissing her lightly on the nose.

He let her go and settled on to one of the benches. He watched her as he smoothed back his ruffled hair and smirked at her. She liked his hair out of place, especially if she was the one to do it.

Ginny casually reached behind her and locked the door. She walked towards him slowly and his breath caught.

She was beautiful. Her red hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her red lips were turned up in a seductive smile. She stopped in front of Draco and much to his delight straddled his lap.

He sat back and looked up at her, desire and love flashing in his eyes. "Did you miss me, Virginia?"

Ginny held his face between her hands and proceeded to plant kisses along his jaw line. "What do you think?" she whispered softly.

"I think you did," he answered, his voice husky. "What did you do to keep yourself occupied without me?"

Ginny settled on his lap and linked their hands together. "I've been watched Ron and Hermione spend the better part of the summer checking each other's tonsils. It's really quite disgusting, seeing your brother try to suck your best friend's face off."

Draco wrinkled his nose. "I don't like to think of any poor girl snogging your brother, much less his girlfriend."

"Play nice."

"We'll see."

Ginny sighed and snuggled closer to Draco. They'd been together a little over half a year and no one knew. After the Christmas holidays, they were forced to work together during a particular harsh week of detention with Snape. Ginny wouldn't admit it then, but she a little crush on Draco, even though he did nothing but insult her family. She thought he was sexy. By the end of the week she found out he liked her, too. It all went downhill from there.

When they saw each other in the corridors they traded the normal Weasley and Malfoy insults. No one noticed that they both left the Great Hall out the same time to get a quick snog in before classes.

Draco played with her hair. "I should probably get out of here before someone gets the brilliant idea and unlocks the door. "

"Yeah, you should," she agreed, moving her mouth to his neck.

"Crabbe and Goyle are probably looking for me," he told, enjoying the feel of her lips.

She moved to his jaw. "Uh huh."

"And we wouldn't want to get caught."

Her lips crushed his and he lost all sense of thought.

Draco was finally able to get up to leave an hour later. He gave Ginny a quick kiss on the forehead before she could drag down to her.

"Meet me after the feast, the usual place." He suddenly looked worried.

Ginny frowned. "Draco, are you all right?"

He opened the door and nodded, not looking back at her. "I'm fine. Just meet me."
