Draco thought he had known hate. After all, he had grown up with Lucius as a father, and Death Eaters had been known to frequent Malfoy Manor. Hatred of all things Muggle was commonplace, and he himself had been on the receiving end of hatred towards homosexuals.
But this was worse. The venom that was directed at him by Ginny Weasley ever since Harry had announced their engagement knew no boundaries. Draco wasn't sure why she hadn't said anything during the year preceding their engagement, but he suspected that she had simply thought that it was a passing phase. Something Harry would get over. Something that he had to get out of his system before going back to her. Because there could be no doubt in anyone's mind that Ginny had expected to marry Harry, even after all this time.
And, as the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Only she had never blamed Harry, never directed her anger towards him. No, it was all about Draco.
"You are a pathetic excuse for a human being," she had told Draco one time when she had cornered him in Diagon Alley. "What Harry sees in you is beyond me."
"A penis for starters," was his retort. After all, it was true. She had smacked him in the face and run off crying.
The next time was at a family function at the Burrow. Draco had tried to get out of it, but was quickly reminded that the Weasleys were Harry's family and, though grudgingly, Harry had been to the Manor for tea with Narcissa on numerous occasions. She had managed to corner him coming out of the loo, calling him a "sick fuck who was corrupting the greatest wizard alive."
That time Fred or George - he couldn't tell which - had heard her.
"What the fuck, Gin?!" he had said to his sister.
"It's only Malfoy," she replied. Draco rolled his eyes and went to go back to the party, but lingered just out of sight to hear the rest of the conversation.
"No, Gin. He's not ‘only Malfoy'. He's Harry's fiancé and Harry is family. That makes Draco almost family too."
"That scum will never be my family."
"Gin, even if he weren't going to marry Harry, he is a guest in our home."
"I don't care. I hate him, and he's no good for Harry. I am going to do everything in my power to prevent that wedding from ever taking place."
Draco went back to the party with a deep feeling of foreboding looming over him.
