A/N: I decided to give it a shot.
"It's terrible you broke up with Dean, Ginny." Ginny's friend, Audrey, said. Ginny Weasley, Audrey Cross, and Luna Lovegood were all sitting in a compartment together on their way to Hogwarts. It was one of those times where the word 'bittersweet' is used. Ginny was glad to be going back to see her friends again. But she was rather depressed to be spending nine months doing homework and getting yelled at by Snape.
"I'm fine, really." Ginny said.
"Yes but Dean was such a good boyfriend. And then he just broke up with you! By owl! The nerve!" Audrey said in disgust.
"It's okay, though." Ginny said.
"No it's not! When I see him, I'll-"
Audrey didn't get to finish because the door opened. A smug, blond boy was standing in the doorway. He sneered.
"So, Weasley, I'm guessing that robe is another hand-me-down?"
"Some people who's parents live decent lives and don't threaten people for money may have to wear…er…gently used clothing."
"That ratty old thing is gently used? Ha! Nice try Weasley. But you really should face the facts. You're poor. Of course, you won't be that way for long…"
"Huh?" Ginny asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, I needed to speak with you about something. And I'm not happy about it."
"What is it?"
"Those two have to leave first." Draco said, pointing at Luna and Audrey.
Once they left, Draco took a deep breath,
"When you were born, your family almost found themselves on the streets, you know. Your father begged mine for money. He said he'd do anything. He said that Lucius-"
"Lucius? Don't you call him dad?"
"No. Now, where was I before your little interruption? Oh, yeah, he said that Lucius just had to find it in his heart to lend them the money. Well, Lucius, being the black-hearted git that he is, agreed but on one condition."
"What was it?"
"That you would marry me." Draco said simply. Ginny gaped at him.
"No. No. No, no, no, no, no. NO!" Ginny shouted, standing up, "You're lying! This is some kind of trick!"
"I'm no more happy about it than you are!" Draco yelled, "But it's the bloody truth. Now, sit down!"
Ginny sat down nervously. Draco regained his composure.
"I know it's difficult." Draco said calmly, "But we have to do it."
"And if I refuse?"
"Lucius will kill you, and your parents." Draco said bluntly. Ginny gasped.
"But…he can't."
"He can and he will." Draco stood up and left. Ginny's friends came in and asked what it was all about. Ginny replied that she'd rather not talk about it.
A/N: I know this has been done before, but please give it a chance. And review if you don't mind so I know what people think.
