Chapter 1 : Summer Holidays
and Enemies
It
was the summer right after his seventh year or sixth for Ginny. A lot of things
changed for himself, Ron, and Hermione during the past three years. Some were
awfully strange. First, Ron and Hermione were a couple now, poor Cho was sent
off to St. Mungo’s Hospital For Magical Maladies and Injuries after Cedric
Diggory’s death, he and Ginny got closer as friends, and the one he found most
strange is that he, Ron, and Hermione all became friends with Draco Malfoy. One
person who Ginny completely and utterly detested. But no matter, Ginny would
always be his friend. She was there for him when Ron and Hermione were too busy
wrapped in each other. Ginny did convince him that she no longer had a crush on
him. She would talk about a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff boy, usually Justin Finch
- Fletchley, every now and then. He could tell Ginny just about anything. He
only guessed it was the same for her.
Draco
was another story. He saved Draco’s life and if it hadn’t been for Draco,
Voldemort would have succeeded in killing the famous Harry Potter. He and Draco
had killed Voldemort together. So afterwards it only seemed right to be
friends. Although, they rarely talked with each other in front of their houses,
they always would meet up in the library to talk. They still had to fight for
Draco’s sake. If Draco’s fellow Slytherins found out about him being friends
with Harry Potter. There is no telling what they would do. They all got through
it in the end.
Ron’s
family forgave Draco, everyone except Ginny that is. Mrs. Weasley said it would
be pointless to hold a grudge against Draco since it was Draco’s father and not
Draco himself that tortured the family so many years. He thought Ginny didn’t
see in that way. He seemed to think that Ginny thought Draco had done too many
unforgivable things. Ron had become very friendly toward Draco. Which he
thought was very surprising. Draco will be staying that the Burrow this summer
along with himself and Hermione. But he was worried about how Draco’s being
there was going to affect Ginny.
~ ~ ~
She
knew her summer wasn’t going to be fine. Her sixth year was great, despite the
fact she had to put up the Draco Malfoy. This summer was going to be completely
awful to her. She was so mad at Ron for inviting Malfoy to the Burrow for the
entire summer. She was even more angry when she found out that the little
bastard accepted the invitation. She thought it might not be all to bad given
the fact that Harry and Hermione were going to be there as well. Still it
didn’t help. Harry, Ron, and Hermione always made this perfect little circle
that no one could get into. Not even Malfoy, who went through all those things
with Harry. She didn’t mind not being in the circle when Draco wasn’t around,
but not that he is, it is always Harry, Ron, Hermione, and her and Draco. Which
she didn’t like at all. She completely hated Draco Malfoy. He is useless.
Everyone has forgiven him except her. And she wasn’t going to forgiven him any
time soon either. He had done to many horrible things. So what if she killed
his evil infested father. That still doesn’t change the fact that he killed his
own father. So what if he betrayed the Death Eaters. That doesn’t change the
fact that he was one.
She
tried to spend as much time away from Malfoy as possible. Which she hated it
because he was usually around Harry and Ron and she hated being without Harry.
Harry is her best friend. She could tell him anything without him running off
to tell Ron. ( which Hermione often did) She did like that fact that she has to
put up with Malfoy. She only does it because Harry and Ron asked her to. They
were the two people she loved the most. The only two people she couldn’t deny
them anything of.
~ ~ ~
If
someone told him three years ago that he would be friends with Harry Potter, he
would have knocked them out cold. But that’s exactly what happened. He couldn’t
really believe it himself. Yet he was quite friend with Potter and Weasley and
Granger as well. But those three made a perfect little circle that neither he
or anyone else could ever get into. So he practically jumped at the invitation
Ron made him to stay at the Burrow with Potter and Hermione the entire summer.
Of
course he knew he would end up spending most of his time with Ron’s little
sister, whom he liked to mention, hates him with a fiery passion. But that’s
something he would have to work around. They were outside of school and had
nothing to worry about. After all Voldemort was dead now. He and Harry had
killed him. So what was there really to worry about?
~ ~ ~
“Have
you found it yet Bella?” the man asked.
“Yes,
my Lord. I have found it. It’s safe and waiting for you.” she replied.
“Very
well, retrieve the Orb. The Ritual will being soon.”
Bella
bowed to her master and turned and left. The man she was talking to watched her
leave. He sat in a throne made of marble, tapping his fingers one the arm of
the thone.
At
last the Orb of Zephon will be mine, he thought, and the Demon will succeed
where Voldemort failed. He will rise out of the Orb and reek havoc on the
wizarding and Muggle worlds. The Demon will turn the world right again.
~ ~ ~
Harry,
Ron, and Draco stepped off the Hogwarts Express and onto Platform nine and
three quarters. It was a fine sight seeing three different boys lined up on the
platform. Each with a different hair color. One with black hair, one with red,
and the other a blonde silver color. It would never occur to you that these
three boys, almost men, could possibly know each other. And yet they knew each
other quite well.
“Ron,
where’s Hermione?”
“With
Ginny I suppose.”
“Ginny?
Your sister?” Draco interjected.
“Yeah,
Ron’s little sister, one of my best friends, girl that completely hates you,
and a teenager that ever got a chance to rip out your liver and stomp on it
until in turned into instant liver soup mix, she would.” Harry pointed out.
“Thank
you Potter for the lovely picture burned into the back of my mind.”
“You’re
quite welcome Draco.”
“Speaking
of my darling little sister and my gorgeous girlfriend.” Ron pointed at Ginny
and Hermione walking up the platform toward the three.
“Ron,
don’t point love, it’s impolite.” Hermione kissed Ron on the cheek and gave
Harry and Draco each a hug. Ron put his arm down and blushed.
“Yeah
Ron, it’s not polite to point.” Draco mocked.
“It’s
not polite to mock Malfoy.” Ginny snapped, “Ron, Mum is waiting.” She walked
past Draco hitting his arm with her shoulder. He watched her astonished.
“I
told you.” Harry put his hand on Draco’s shoulder. “ I would be careful if I
were you. She can be pretty vicious. Trust me I’m her best friend and I would
know.” Harry turned and followed Ginny as so did Ron and Hermione. Draco
watched Ginny then ran to catch up with Harry.
“Vicious
you say? Potter, I do believe this holiday is going to be a lot of fun for me.”
“I’m
sure you will be saying the same thing when we’re picking up your guts off the
floor.” Draco smirked. The girl can’t be that vicious. She’s a Weasley, he
thought.
“Ginny,
Ron, Hermione, Harry. It’s so good to see all of you.” Mrs. Weasley hugged and
kissed all four of them. She look at Draco the hugged and kissed him as well.
“It’s
good to see you as well Mister Malfoy.”
“Just
Draco please.” Mrs. Weasley smiled. Ginny looked at her mother then Draco, who
was looking at her, and rolled her eyes. Ron immediately noticed the tension
between the two.
“Mum,
can we go home now?”
“Of
course Ron of course. Everyone now to the portkey.”
“Thank
goodness.” Ginny whispered. Everyone followed Mrs. Weasley to the port key,
which took them to the Central Floo Network. From there you could Floo to
anywhere. The Ministry set it up two years ago for the returning students from
Hogwarts. they were getting to many complaints about muggles seeing children
coming of a wall. When everyone ported to the Central Floo Network, the used
the fireplace that was assigned for the Burrow to get back home. Once home
everyone settled in a and waited patiently for dinner.
~ ~ ~
Ginny
and Hermione were downstairs helping Mrs. Weasley prepare dinner. Ginny had to
do everything the hard way since she was still an under aged wizard. She
quietly set the table for seven. She sighed after putting the last plate on the
table. Hermione looked at her and smiled.
“Next
year Ginny you will be able to use magic.” Ginny nodded. She couldn’t wait. Not
being about to us magic at home was driving her crazy. Her father told her that
by the middle of the summer she should be able to use magic. The Ministry is
trying to change the under age wizard age to sixteen in order to train, in case
any dark wizards try to raise into power. Mr. Weasley said it was going over
pretty well.
“Ginny
love, would you go upstairs and fetch the boys. It’s time for dinner.”
“Sure
thing Mum.” Ginny ran upstairs to the top floor. Ginny knocked on her brother’s
door and opened it.
“I’m
coming in.” Ginny stuck her head into the room. She saw Harry and Ron sitting
on his bed reading Quidditch Throughout The Ages. “ You’re reading that
again? Where is Malfoy?”
“You
like to ask a lot of questions don’t you Gin? He’s in his room, doing God knows
what.” Harry said not looking up from the book.
“Right,
well dinner is ready and if you don’t mind would you tell Malfoy.”
“No.”
Ron said, looking up from the book at Ginny. “Mum asked you to do it Ginny.”
“I
know but I was thinking that since you’re my older brother and you love me you
would do it since I completely hate Malfoy.”
“No.
Some things you have to do Gin. Even if you don’t like them.”
“Harry?”
Ginny looked at Harry with watery eyes. That always works on him, she thought,
always.
“You’re
on your own with this on Ginny.” Harry said still not looking up from the book.
He knew if he did, he would see Ginny with watering eyes and that would get
him.
“Fine.
I’ll remember this when you both want something from me.” Ginny slammed the
door. She couldn’t believe this, Harry and Ron never did anything like this
before why now? They both knew how much she hated Malfoy and now they’re making
talk to him. Ginny sighed and walked down to the third floor. She stopped in
front of the second door. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
~ ~ ~
Harry
jumped when Ginny slammed the door. He looked up at Ron, who was laughing
silently.
“She
gave me the watery eyes didn’t she?” Ron nodded. I knew it, Harry thought, I
knew she would. “ I knew she would that why I didn’t look up.”
“That
must have been the first time it didn’t work for her.”
“Yeah,
and it didn’t work because I didn’t look at her. Now tell me again why we are
torturing your poor sister?”
“We
are not torturing Ginny. We are just trying to get her to be friends with
Draco. That’s all.”
“Ron,
Ginny is going to be friends with who ever she wants. She doesn’t want to be
friends with Draco. Even though she should.”
“Right.
I’m just trying to get her realize that.” Harry shook his head. He knew he was
arguing a lost cause. So he just stopped trying.
“Can we go to dinner now?” Ron nodded. The two
went downstairs to dinner.
~ ~ ~
Ginny
waited for Draco to open the door. She heard is foot steps cross the room and
she held her breath. She watched the door knob turn and door open. Draco leaned
against the frame of the door and looked at her. He smiled.
“Well,
if it isn’t little Ginny Weasley.” Ginny exhaled and glared at Draco.
“I
was just coming to tell you dinner is ready and if you think you can deal with
being around, what’s that you call us, lower class, you’re more than welcome to
come down and join us.” Draco’s smile faded and his face whitened. Ginny looked
Draco up and down with disgust. She shook her head and walked downstairs.
Reluctantly, Draco followed her.
“Well,
I bring the Malfoy royalty.”
“Ginny
dear, be nice to the guests.” Draco snickered and Ginny glared at him. She took
a seat between her father and Harry. Draco sat down in front of her.
“Harry,
how is Sirius doing? Well I hope.” Mrs. Weasley asked.
“He’s
quite fine. He’s still trying to get all the paperwork from the acquittal
squared away.”
“Oh
dear is he still having problems with that?”
“Yes.
unfortunately, but he said everything should be taken care by the end of summer
holiday.”
“Well,
that’s nice. Speaking of the summer holiday, Arthur would you mind telling
them?” Mrs. Weasley looked at her husband with wild eyes. Arthur Weasley looked
up from his meal. All the younger occupants of the table stared at him.
“What?
Oh yes of course Molly. Well, good news for you Ginny. The Ministry changed the
age for the under aged wizards to sixteen. So you can officially do magic at
home now. That you really needed anyway. You‘re birthday is just two weeks
away.”
“It
doesn’t matter, the sooner the better. At least one good thing is going my way
this summer.” Ginny glared at Draco.
“Yes
yes Ginny that is great news, but that is not all I have to tell you. Your mother
and I have decided to go to France for holiday this year. We decided since all
the children are almost grown, we next to spend sometime with each other. Ron
we have decided to put you in charge and I‘m sorry Ginny that we‘re not gpoing
to be here for your birthday.” Mr. Weasley looked over to is wife and smiled.
Right around the same time Ron got a huge grin on his face.
“It’s
ok. I think I can live just this once.”
“Oy.
Thanks Dad,” Ron almost shouted.
“Now
Ron dear, just because we put you in charge doesn’t mean you get do everything.
Ginny here will be watching as well.” Mrs. Weasley eyed Hermione. Ginny smiled
and looked at Ron, who’s grin slightly faded. He looked at Ginny and she stuck
out her tongue, which Mr. Weasley noticed.
“Now
none of that. Ron you know perfectly well why we have let Ginny watch you. You
are a teenager with raging hormones.”
“Well,
so is Ginny. She could end up shagging Harry.” Ginny looked at her brother in
utter amazement. Harry just laughed.
“Harry
has a girlfriend and he’s my best friend. I won’t do such a thing.”
“Well,
you could shag Draco then.” Ginny mouth fell to the floor. She couldn’t believe
her brother just said that. At that point Draco, who was eating his dinner
quietly and completely ignoring the conversation until now, gaped at Ron. A
piece of steak fell into his lap.
“I
most certainly will not. Just look at him” She pointed at Draco without
looking. The argument went on about five more minutes until Mr. Weasley finally
said something.
“Alright,
enough. We are completely aware that your sister is a teenager as well. Which
why you are going to watch her and she is going to watch you. If anything goes
on one of you will contact us immediately.” At this Ron and Ginny both seemed
pleased. Ron apologized to his sister for the Draco insult and Ginny forgave
him. Draco finished his meal and looked at Mrs. Weasley.
“I
hope you have a wonderful time on your holiday.”
“Well
thank you Draco. We will certainly try.”
“Suck
up.” Ginny muttered loud enough for only Draco to hear. Draco looked at her and
only smiled.
“Mum,
When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow
morning Ron. Before you all wake I’m sure. So we’ll say goodbye tonight before
we go to bed.”
“Alright.”
“Oh
yes one other thing. This should be exciting for the girls.” Mr. Weasley began.
Ginny did think she could take anymore surprises. She looked at her father with
a worried look. “ Fudge wanted me to tell you they’re holding the Magic Equinox
Ball this year and he wanted me to tell you all you‘re invited to come. Of
course Cornelius is going to send you proper invitations to attend. I just
wanted you to be well aware and that you have our permission to go. That way
you will not have to bother your mother and I for any unnecessary reasons. Of
course you all know that your mother and I won’t be attending but that’s not go
to stop you from going. Ron you have the key to Gringott’s. Please try use the
money wisely.” Ginny sat there. The worried look turned into astonishment.
Never before had her parents put so much responsibility on to their shoulders.
She hoped Ron was proud.
“Yeah
Dad I’ll make sure.”
“That’s
a boy and I’ll make sure Fred and George stop by once a week to see if you need
anything.” Ron nodded.
~ ~ ~
The
rest of dinner went by quietly. The discussion of Ron’s and Ginny’s parents
going off for the summer was the main conversation. After dinner, Mr. and Mrs.
Weasley retired after saying their goodbyes to their children and everyone else
went into the living room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went into their usual
little huddle by the fire place. Leaving Ginny and Draco on the sofa to rip
each other’s throat out. Ginny had restrained herself from doing so by reading Secret
Potions, Elixirs, and Concoctions. About an hour after reading and Draco
sitting in complete silence, Ginny stood up from the sofa.
“I’m
going to bed.” The only response she got was two head nods and one goodnight,
as she guessed she would get. She was half across the living room when Draco
stood up.
“I
think I will too.” Ginny stopped and watched Harry, Ron and, Hermione give him
the same response. Draco watched Ginny shake her head.
“So
I guess I’m not the only one.” Ginny walked to the stairs, Draco following her.
Once again she stopped and turned around to face him.
“Can
you at least wait until I get to my room before you come up the stairs?”
“You’re
not the only one? What do you mean?” Ginny looked up the stairs then back at
Draco. She let out a long annoyed sigh.
“Look, I don’t need this right now. I’m tired. So if you don’t
mind good night.” Ginny walked up the stairs to the second door on the second
floor. Draco followed her all the way up.
“I
do mind. I want to know what you meant.” Ginny opened her bedroom door and
walked in. She turned around and looked at Draco.
“You
figure it out.” She slammed the door. Ginny walked over to her bed and laid
down. She put her book on the nightstand next to her bed. She sighed. Ginny
looked at the crack between the door and the floor boards. She could see the
shadows of his feet. He just never gives up does he, Ginny thought.
“Go
away Malfoy!” she yelled.
“No,
not until you tell me what you were talking about downstairs.”
“I’m
not going to tell you Malfoy. So leave me alone.” Draco stood outside the door.
This girls is so stubborn. She reminds me of me, he thought. He sighed and
shook his head.
Ginny
sat up. He’s going to open the door, she thought, I just know it. And sure
enough he did. He stood in the door frame. Ginny rolled her eyes and laid back
down.
“Tell
me” He said.
“
Get out”
“No”
“Get
out Malfoy.”
“Why
are you being so difficult Weasley? I just want the answer to my question.”
Ginny sat up on her elbows and looked at Draco.
“If
you can’t figure it out Malfoy than you are a lot dumber than you look.”
Draco’s eyes narrowed. Ginny smiled. I hit a soft spot, she thought. Note to
self always insult his intelligence.
“Don’t
insult my intelligence Weasley, you’ll find more trouble than you want.” he
said as if he knew what she was thinking. Ginny sat up completely and moved so
that her back was against the headboard of her bed.
“You
know Malfoy, you’re so stupid. Like that famous line of yours is going to stop
me.” He couldn’t believe this. Everyone back down after that line, even Potter.
Yet she was still standing her ground. She’s more of a challenge than he
thought.
“You
don’t care what trouble I cause do you?” Ginny looked up a the ceiling and
sighed. She just realized that Draco’s bedroom just above her own. Great, she
thought, now he can keep me awake at night. She looked at Draco. He thought
that look meant she was getting restless.
“Malfoy,
I don’t care if your abducted by leprechauns and they hit you over the head
with their shalaylee sticks. Get out.”
“Leprechauns?”
Ginny looked at her bedside table and picked up the book she put there earlier.
She threw the book at Draco, hitting him in the shoulder. Draco was in total
disbelief. Not at her but at himself. He knew that she was going to throw that
book, but he let her throw it and worse of all, he let it hit him.
“OUCH!”
Ginny stoop up and walked to where Draco was standing. She picked up her book
and threw on her bed. Ginny, then pushed Draco, who was clutching his shoulder
in pain, out the door.
“Serves
you right!” She then slammed the door in his face.
He
just stood there holding his shoulder. Wow, he thought, never before have I
lost a something like this and yet I stand here. I lost my first argument to a
girl. A feisty one at that. Oh this summer is going to be wonderful, he
thought, just great. Draco turned from Ginny’s door and went up to his room.
~ ~ ~
Harry,
Ron, and Hermione sat at the bottom of the stairs listening to the fight Ginny
and Draco were having. When Harry heard a loud thump he tried to get up the
stairs, but Ron and Hermione stopped him.
“Let
me go he might have hurt her.” Harry said still struggling to get free.
“Harry
do you honestly think that Draco hurt Ginny.” Hermione pointed out. Harry
stopped struggling and looked at Ron.
“You’re
right, she probably hurt him.” After Harry finished his sentence he heard a
door slam. “Right that was Ginny slamming the door in Draco’s face. We can
upstairs now.” Hermione giggled. She and Ron let go of Harry. Harry quietly
climbed the stairs. He looked back down to find Ron and Hermione following him.
“ I’m surprised your parents haven’t woke up yet.”
“They
haven’t heard a thing going on. After Fred and George moved out they put up a
charm to keep and outside noise from coming inside the room.” Harry nodded.
“Quite good for me. I could have a party out here and they wouldn’t even know.”
Hermione glared at Ron. He noticed the high strung tension in his girlfriend. “
But I wouldn’t do anything like that.” Hermione smiled.
“Sure,
you wouldn’t Ron.” Harry said, stopping at the fifth floor. Hermione shot a
look of daggers at him.
“Don’t
encourage him Harry.”
“Sorry
Hermione, but you know it‘s true. Well goodnight.” Harry walked into his room
and left Ron and Hermione there. Ron looked at Hermione. He took her hand and
pulled her close to him. Hermione looked up at him and smiled. She ran her hand
through his hair. He bent down slightly and kissed her. She gently pulled away
and kissed him on the cheek, then let go of his hand.
“Goodnight
Ron.” Hermione walked down the fourth floor and went into her bedroom. There
she got ready for bed and then went to sleep. Three more stories up Ron was
asleep in his room.
~ ~ ~
Ginny
woke up early enough in the morning to see her parents off. After they had left
started a fire and curled up on the floor with one of Witch Weekly’s
romance novel. This month the author was Orbitnissa Astro and the book was
called The Way to A Witch’s Heart.
Chalice
stood there waiting for Seven to arrive. We she saw him coming she ran to him,
throwing her arms around him. She reached up to kiss him and he turned away.
Chalice backed away from him.
“Seven,
what is it love?”
Seven
looked away from her.
“What
is it? It’s you. How could you betray me like that Chalice?”
Chalice
looked at Seven with hurt eyes.
“What
are you talking Seven?”
Seven
looked at Chalice then looked away.
“Seven?”
“How
could you sleep with him?”
Chalice
looked shocked. She didn’t understand, what did he mean. Her eyes started to
water.
“Who
are you talking about Seven? I’ve only slept with you. You’re the only one I
love.”
“Liar!!
You slept with Rane didn’t you? Didn’t you? You slept with my best friend. You
betrayed me.” Seven screamed. Chalice fell to her knees and began crying.
“Didn’t you?”
“No!!” Chalice screamed, “I would never hurt
you never. I would never sleep with Rane. I would never. I could never betray
you.” She grabbed Seven’s hand. He snatched it away and pushed her away from
him.
“You filthy hag...”
“Interesting read.” Draco whispered into her ear. “ Did
she really sleep with his best friend?” Ginny closed her book and turned to
face Draco.
“Not
that you care, but no she didn’t. Rane is in love with Chalice and he paid a
girl to take polyjuice potion to look like her to trick Seven into thinking
Chalice betrayed him.”
“Nice
trick.” Draco smirked. A cold chill went up Ginny’s spine. She hated it when he
did that. It almost made her want to reach up and kiss him.
“Yeah,
sounds like something you would do.” Ginny stood up from her place near the
fire. She noticed Draco looking at her from head to toe, the she suddenly
realized she was still wearing her green satin night gown that was just a
little to short. She didn’t care, give him something to want that he can’t
have. Ginny put her book on the mantle above the fireplace and walked into the
kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Draco watched her every move.
“How
do you know that’s something I would do?” Draco moved into the kitchen and sat
down at the table.
“Because
I just do. You have that sinful sort of murkiness that surrounds you. Coffee?”
Ginny held up a kettle full of coffee and a mug.
“Oh
yes please.” Draco smiled. I’m finally getting on her good side, he thought.
“It’s good to know that you’ve done your homework on me then.” Ginny turned
around and poor the coffee in the mug. “Black please.” Ginny nodded. Ginny
reached over the counter and grabbed at bottle of ink.
“He’s going to love this.” Ginny whispered.
“What did you say something Weasley?”
“No, I was just saying no one has do homework on
you Malfoy. You let everyone your a complete git.” Ginny poured the ink into
Draco’s coffee. She hoped he didn’t see her grab the ink across the counter.
She set his coffee down in front of him and joined him at the table with her
coffee.
“Yes, well Weasley I know I haven’t been the nicest
person in the world by I wish that we can start over.” Draco drank some of his
coffee. “Wonderful coffee.” Ginny giggled.
“Why
thank you. I hope we can start over to Draco.“ Draco smiled at her. I got you
now, he thought, I have her eating out of the palm of my hand. Five minutes
went by and Ginny and Draco had finished they’re coffee when Harry, Ron, and
Hermione came downstairs, Ginny shifted. They all took seats at the table.
Ginny stood up hugged Ron.
“I
have to go upstairs and get dressed now.”
“Ginny,
what did you do?”
“Nothing,
nothing at all.” Ginny walked to the stairs. She turned to Draco a smiled.
Smile back you rich bastard, she thought. Draco looked at her a smiled. Harry,
Ron and Hermione looked at Draco. Harry and Hermione burst out with laughter.
Ginny took off up the stairs at high speed and into her room. She locked the
door behind her. Draco looked at Harry and Hermione, who were now on the floor
laughing, then at Ron.
“I
have ink on my teeth don’t I.”
“GINNY!”
Ron yelled.
“Don’t
bother. You’re sister is a good actress and a very vicious girl.”
“I
*gasp* told *gasp* you” Harry said , trying to stop laughing.
“Yeah,
I know you told me Potter. Hermione can you help me get this stuff off my
teeth.” Hermione slowly stopped laughing. She picked herself off the floor and
smoothed out her clothes. Hermione took out her wand and pointed it at Draco.
She gave one little last laugh.
“Refigofixum.”
The ink from Draco’s teeth vanished.
“Thank
you Hermione.” Ron got from the table. “Where are you going Weasley?”
“To
talk to Ginny.”
“I’ll
go.”
“Draco
I don’t know if that’s such a great idea.” Harry said with a worried look.
“She’s probably expecting me or Ron to come up
there to talk to.”
“My
point exactly Potter. She hit me with a book last night. What else could she
possibly do? She only girl.” Draco walked up the steps. Three people remaining
looked at each other.
“He
has no idea what he’s getting into does he Harry?”
“Oh
he knows. He just doesn’t care. He’s trying to see how far he can push her
before she falls off the edge.”
“Which
in his case isn’t very far.” Hermione added. Harry and Ron shook their heads. A
minute later they heard Ginny scream “Get out you, disgusting bastard.”
Everyone sitting at the table shook their heads, feeling really sorry for
Draco.
“Shouldn’t
we try to stop this?” Hermione asked.
“Nope,
I don’t want Ginny mad at me.” Harry said.
“The
more they fight. The more they’ll try to get along. That’s my philosophy.”
Hermione and Harry looked at Ron and laughed.
“What?”
~ ~ ~
“I
SAID GET OUT!” Ginny screamed. Draco
just looked at her wrapped her bed spread. He walked in her room and slammed
the door.
“You
know Weasley it isn’t very nice to put ink in someone’s coffee and let them
drink it.”
“You
Malfoy know it isn’t very nice to walk into someone’s room without knocking.
You never know what people are doing in their rooms. Like trying to get
dressed.”
“I
did knock.”
“If
you call using the Alohomora charm as knocking, you have completely fallen off your
rocker.” Ginny yelled. She straightened the bed spread she was wrapped in and
made sure he couldn’t see anything. Draco just happened to walk in while she
was changing . Which Ginny was thought wasn’t very polite.
“I
want you to apologize to me,” Draco crossed his arms. “Then I’ll get out. You
either apologize or get dressed with me standing here.” Draco smiled. Ginny
narrowed her eyes and glared at Draco. He’s expecting me to apologized. Well,
I’d rather jump off a building, she thought.
“Fine then.” Draco uncrossed his arms. I got the
girl to apologized to me, he thought. Draco watched and waited for her to
apologize, but she did the last thing he expected. She dropped the bed spread
she was holding. She was wearing nothing but knickers. Draco’s jaw dropped to
the floor. I can’t believe she just did that, Draco thought. He watched her
pick up and put her bra on. She looked at him while putting on jeans she
apparently picked out before came up.
“Malfoy,
you looking at me like you’ve never seen a girl before.” Draco then realized he
was goggling at her. He had seen plenty of girls before. He just didn’t
understand why this shocked him. Maybe he wasn’t expecting really to really to
this. Ginny put on a light pink shirt and placed her hands on her hips. She
looked at him as she was waiting for him to say something. Draco got the hint.
“Why
did you do that?” Ginny let her hands dropped and looked at him surprised.
“Did
you actually think I was going to apologize to you? You stupid git. You should
know better than that.” Ginny walked across the room to her door and opened it.
Before she walked out, turned and looked at Draco. “I would careful now if I
were you. If my brother ever found out what you just saw, he’d kill you.” Ginny
blew him a kiss and walked out closing the door behind her. Draco stood there,
trying to figure out what just happened. A smile swept his face. He opened the
door and made sure was Ginny downstairs before he came down. When he did he saw
Ginny sitting down at the table next to her brother. He smiled again and looked
at Ron.
“Ron,”
Draco said. Ginny looked at Draco. Oh no, she thought, what’s he going to do. “
I just wanted to let you know that Ginny and I had a very interesting
conversation upstairs and she showed me something of her I never seen before.”
Ginny stood up from the table.
“Don’t
you even Malfoy.” she said calmly but coldly. Draco looked at her.
“Ah.
I see now. If I tell Ron, you’ll be in just as much trouble I would. Wouldn‘t
you?” Ginny glared Draco. Ron looked at Draco the Ginny and stood up.
“Tell
me what?” Draco looked at Ron.
“Go
on Malfoy tell him. Me getting in trouble would be worth me seeing him beating
the bloody hell out of you.” Ron looked annoyed.
“Tell
me what?” Draco looked at Ginny, who was smiling at him. She’s not afraid, he
thought, it’s completely pointless if is not scared. Ginny held her breath.
please don’t let him say anything, she though, let him back down. Draco looked
at Ron.
“That Ginny here let me look inside her closet.
It’s very nice a clean.” Ginny exhaled, Ginny and Draco looked at each other.
The other three looked at them confused.
“Why
would I be mad about that?” Ron asked.
“Because
I thought you might get mad that I had him in my room.” Ginny replied, not
taking her eyes off Draco.
“Normally
yeah, if it was another guy, but He’s Draco and you hate him and why would let
him look your closet Ginny?” At that point Ginny and Draco both looked at Ron
and they both shrugged. Ron looked at Harry and Hermione.
“My
sister if very weird.” Harry and Hermione nodded in agreement. Ginny rolled her
eyes and walked into the living room. She got her book off the mantle and said
down on the sofa. She opened her book and tried to read. Ginny realized she
couldn’t when she noticed Draco standing in front of her. She looked up.
“What
do you want Malfoy?” Draco looked at her with is icy cold gray eyes. He put out
his hand to her.
“I want to talk to you.” He looked over at Ron,
Hermione, and Harry watching them. Ginny looked over too. “Out in the garden.”
Ginny looked at his hand. Unsurely she took it and he took her out to the
garden.
