McGonagall's Theory (Draco/Ginny, G)
Title: McGonagall's Theory

Warnings: None.
Summary: McGonagall has a theory about magic.
Author’s Notes: Written for the fourth challenge at the Draco/Ginny LDWS Competition on LJ.
Minerva McGonagall had always believed that every witch or wizard is born with someone else in the world whose magic compliments theirs. One of them had light magic at their core, the other dark. It had nothing to do with what side of the war they fought on or the amount of menace in their personalities, but the very core of their magic. It was a bond that transcended all of that.
She’d seen it everywhere she looked for as long as she’d been teaching at Hogwarts. First, it had been Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. Even in her wildest dreams, the idea of Ron doing dark magic was ludicrous, laughable, but Hermione was different. Hermione was the type to do whatever it took, whatever spell or potion or dark incantation, to help the ones she loved.
Then, when Harry Potter had broken up with the Weasley girl and started being frequently seen on the grounds sitting with a suspicious, yet pleased Pansy Parkinson, Minerva had only nodded in understanding as some of her colleagues looked on with raised eyebrows. However, this wasn’t the relationship that had the majority of the school lost in whispers and genuine confusion.
It hadn’t been long after their return to Hogwarts that Draco Malfoy and Ginevra Weasley had seemed to develop a grudging respect for one another. The first time she had suggested, as Headmistress and at the encouragement of the Ministry, that the students should briefly take occasion and sit with students from another House during dinner, Ginny had been one of the first to stand and make her way to the Slytherin table, plopping down directly across from Draco with a brief glance back at the Gryffindors that seemed to challenge anyone who would question her decision.
They protected each other, Ginny taking it upon herself to hex every person who believed they had the right to punish Draco for his past and Draco defending her against his own housemates, as well as any others who voiced the opinion that her friendship with him had changed her allegiances for the worse and made her a Slytherin in Gryffindor clothing; “a compliment,” Ginny would say.
When the two of them walked into the Great Hall for dinner one night with their hands intertwined, reactions were mixed. Some were surprised, some really weren’t, others were angry, but Minerva? She was pleased. If anything proved her theory, it was this.
