As you can see, I have returned from Texas, and have continued working on ch. 12. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted the story to proceed, but I started coming up with dialogue in my head, and I now have 4 pages typed so far. It's not much, but I plan on writing more today, hopefully finishing the chapter by tomorrow, with it posted at all of the various fic websites by the weekend.
In an interesting turn of events, many of you reviewers (on said fanfic sites) have been requesting a longer and more Draco-filled chapter as of late, with this interesting turn in events being that you might get it this coming chapter. I didn't mean to do it. I already figured out exactly what I was going to have in this chapter, but well, some of the dialogue has persuaded me otherwise. So we will be seeing Draco in chapter 12. I sort of feel bad since he's kind of been neglected as of late. The sequel, though, will have more of him in it; don't worry. I have four chapters already planned out, with two of them in the process of being written. It's more humorous than anything, with oodles of mischief, deception, and party crashing. I'm looking forward to posting it.
I also decided that after the last chapter (which, at this point, is not that far off) of A Study of the Mind, I'm going to post a little chapter-by-chapter breakdown since there are some things that need explaining after the ending (like when in time they occur, the POV, etc.).
As Natasha predicted, it did take Ginny about twenty minutes to reach her doorstep.
Ginny knocked twice before the front door opened, revealing a sweater-clad Natasha, her red hair pulled back into a loose bun, a side-sweeping fringe partially covering her green eyes.
Natasha blew up part of her fringe, before deciding to pin it back with a bobby pin.
“You must be Doctor Weasley,” Natasha stated, extending her hand.
“Yes, but I much prefer Ginny,” Ginny replied, taking Natasha’s hand with her own and moving it up and down a bit.
“You look freezing! Please, come in. I would hate to have you die of frostbite.”
Ginny entered the small house, following Natasha into a rather inviting sitting room.
“Would you like tea?” Natasha asked, indicating for Ginny to sit down in one of the plush chairs.
“Oh yes, please,” Ginny replied, taking off her dragon hide gloves and pea coat.
“Cream, sugar, or lemon?” Natasha asked as she made her way to the kitchen.
“Cream with two sugar cubes, if you don’t mind.”
A few moments later, Natasha re-emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray with a small teapot, two filled teacups and any other accoutrements that might be needed.
Natasha gave Ginny her cup, Ginny emitting a small “Thank you,” before taking a sip.
“Now, Ginny, you told me over the phone that you wished to ask me a few questions?” Natasha asked, taking a sip from her own cup of tea.
“Ah, yes, that,” Ginny replied, setting her cup and its corresponding saucer on the table in front of her. “Well, you see, I’m currently Draco Malfoy’s psychologist at St. Mungo’s -”
“Wait. Did you just say that you were Draco Malfoy’s psychologist?” Natasha asked, cutting Ginny off.
“Yes, but I don’t see what the big deal is?”
“If I were you, I’d leave now and never give him a second thought.”
“Why? I know Narcissa got rid of you, but Draco, or Narcissa, for that matter, never told me why.”
“Narcissa got rid of me because I was the only one to see exactly what Draco was trying to do.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“What I mean is that he’s using you to get to her. The first one. The one he wants but can never have.”
Bwahaha! XD Oh, it's so much fun to be cryptic. But who this mysterious "first one" is, will be revealved by the end of the chapter, so don't go all apoplectic on me.
Oh, and before I forget, I made a lovely Draco and Ginny manip that I thought you folks would find interesting:
It's rather big, I know. But I like it. Besides, Boyd Holbrook is a shnuggly, wuggly piece of Draco!man-love and Cintia Dicker is simply fab as always.
Whew! Big post today, but I needed to.
