Hi, I will be putting out around 2 chapters a day and the amount of chapters should increase during the summer. Disclaimer: I did not create any of the following characters or ideas except for Azalea Robins my OC.
Ginny's POV
Ginny Weasley sat at the Gryffindor table and nervously bit her fingernails.
"Ginny, the toast might taste better than your nails!" Azalea Robins, Ginny's best friend, laughed pushing the plate towards her.
"Maybe." Ginny giggled nervously, but then continued to stare off into space.
"Gin, what's up? You have been really weird and nervous lately!" Azalea asked.
"Oh, um… it's err, nothing." She finished.
"I'm your best friend Ginny! You are supposed to be telling me anything and everything! C'mon everything seemed fine until yesterday!" Azalea pried.
"You know," she started, "I'm really just tired I think I'm going to go lie down for a but." She half-heartedly smiled. She got up and headed straight for the Gryffindor common room.
"But Ginny! We've got class in less than an hour!" Azalea protested and then plopped back down on the bench with a heaving sigh.
Draco's POV
Draco Malfoy stared blankly into his cereal. His mind continuously went back to his new girlfriend. He glanced up from his pathetically boring breakfast to scan for her. With surprisingly immense difficulty he managed to locate her leaving the Great Hall. What was she doing? They had class in less than hour? He wanted to talk to her though so he gathered his things and chased after her.
She must have been in a hurry because at his sprint he barely managed to catch her before she entered her common room. "Hey!" he shouted and she turned around her face glowing with beauty!
Ginny's POV
"Great!" Ginny thought "Absolutely the last person I want to see!" But despite her wishes Draco Malfoy stood before looking incredibly eager.
He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers. She backed away though. Draco looked at her affectionately and said, "Look I have to go to class but if you need anything I'm here!"
But Ginny didn't want Draco to be affectionate. It had first started two nights ago at Seamus Finnegan's party when both her and Draco had become drunk and Draco confessed his love for her. She had no idea what to say so she said she loved him too. After a few Firewhiskys it seemed like the right thing to say.
But Ginny didn't want Draco as a boyfriend! She didn't want anyone to know what happened at the party. Draco had been the momentary rebound guy. Harry and Ginny had lost the fun in their relationship, they were acting more like and old married couple than a young new couple. So she had ended it for both their sakes. Though she was the one that broke it off with Harry she was still devastated. After two weeks of just eating ice cream alone in her bedroom Ron finally convinced her to come to Seamus Finnegan's party. Draco now thought they were in a relationship. This was not good of course because they could not be together. She didn't love Draco and she had to cut ties with him before she did fall in love with him.
Draco's POV
The Slytherin's and the Gryffindor's had potions together. He could not stop staring at Ginny. She was so beautiful. There was a four-letter word that described what he felt about her. There was no one else whom he had ever felt this toward. Love. He just hoped she felt the same way. He sensed she wasn't happy with him today. Maybe he would take her on a date to Hogsmeade. Yes, that was the answer. Besides he would like nothing more than to make their relationship public so people would stop teasing him about Millicent Bulstrode. Like he could ever love her ugly, fat ass. Even his best friends Blaise Zambini and Pansy Parkinson would join in on the teasing sometimes.
Draco was abruptly dazed out of his thought with a nudge from Blaise. "Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Snape said curtly.
"Yes sir?" Draco asked. The class erupted in laughter but was stifled as Snape cast a deathly glare over the class.
"Mr. Malfoy, would you do kindly to pay attention in class especially as I recognize you of your excellence in potion brewing!" Snape snapped.
"Yes sir, my apologies." Draco said still rather dazed.
Ginny's POV
Finally! Potions was out. With luck she could avoid Draco for the rest of the day. She had to find a way to tell him that it ends here. They could both go their separate ways. The day was difficult because all she could think about was Draco. How sweet, and handsome he was. The more she thought about it the more bittersweet the idea of cutting ties with him seemed. Now the two only logical reasons she could think of for them not being together was 1. Their families had had bad blood with each other since the beginning of time and 2. Her friends, professors, and everyone else would be horribly surprised. Though only two, they were two very big reasons why her and Draco could not be together. That and she didn't think she was ready for another committed relationship.
Azalea's POV
Azalea was mad. Ginny was distancing herself from Azalea. This hurt, they were supposed to be best friends. She tried to think back to the last couple days. Had she done anything to possibly tick off Ginny? Azalea was madly in love with Harry Potter but if Harry had done anything to hurt Ginny again she would slap him silly. Maybe of course Ginny was just nervous about finals and she was scared to tell Azalea because Azalea had aced almost every magic exam, paper, spell, or assignment this year. But they had made a promise to be honest with each other and Ginny was not doing a very good job of upholding that promise. Yes, after dinner and Quidditch she would go confront Ginny. With that she shoved another delectable bite of mashed potatoes in her mouth and was off.
Quidditch was grueling. It had started with her as Ravenclaw team captain having to fight with the Hufflepuff team captain for the field. They had booked it but Hufflepuff needed some practice time because the rest of the practice blocks were booked before the match. They ended up having a play-off for the field but at a cost. One of the Ravenclaw chasers managed to injure herself. The worst part was though she might be injured until just before or after the match!
Ginny's POV
Ginny made her way back to common room but before entering she was stopped by Draco standing right before the door. This was not all that bad because maybe she could break the news to him now rather than later before she could lose her nerve. This was of course not what Draco was there to hear though.
"Hi Ginny!" he said coming to greet her with a kiss. But she pushed him away. Obviously confused he continued on "So, I was thinking maybe we could go to Hogsmeade sometime this week?" He said.
She slapped him. Hard. But since she didn't fully know why herself, she made up a reason. "You are so stupid," she started "like I would like to be seen in public with a greasy ass like yourself!" She knew she had hurt him. Perhaps broke his heart by the sadness on his face. It was for the best though. Wasn't it? The abandoned-puppy look did not stay on his face for long. Soon it turned to confusion, then anger and before she knew he had run off to god knows where.
Though she had convinced herself that she didn't love him she still found herself sobbing as she entered the common room.
Draco's POV
Draco ran down the staircases as fast as hell. Not worried about stepping on a trick one. He wanted to cry. What was he thinking? Cry? Over a stupid girlfriend? Was he not supposed to be a Malfoy? And were Malfoys not supposed be built with emotions of steel? Of course not! But according to Ginny she was never his girlfriend. He had spent all his dignity on this girl. Chasing after her like a more desperate version of Longbottom!
He pondered this idea, if he loved Ginny as much as he thought he did why was he giving up on their love so quickly. Maybe Ginny was just having hormonal moment. If she really thought he was just a disgusting Slytherin how could she say the things she said to him the night of the party him like that? He loved Ginny and Ginny had to feel the same way! She just had to!
I like the edited version better! What do you guys think? Review! :D
