~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He had a cold heart, and I knew it, but I cared for him none the less. He was perfect in my eyes except for the way he treated my brothers, Harry and Hermione. Sometimes I wonder just why I fell for him. His heart may be cold, but his eyes shone otherwise. They couldn't see it. They couldn't tell. But I could. He just wanted to be loved like everyone else.
I remember the day I realized my affections for him. We were in Potions, my least favourite class, and I of course had to sit next to him. No other seat was left. Gryffindors were scattered throughout the room as were Slytherins. It was a wonder that Snape let us sit wherever we wished.
He threw insults at me to impress his goons and it hurt, I can't deny that. But when I asked him to pick up my wand which had fallen off the table and was out of my reach, he looked around to see if anyone was watching, then bent down and picked it up. He handed it to me, our hands touching briefly. A huge surge of electricity shot threw my veins. I thanked him and he actually said you're welcome, but of course in a whispery voice and smiled. Such a sweet smile when it's not an evil smirk.
As class ended I dropped a book without knowing and he returned it to me, of course only when no one was around. His kindness made me realize that I was lost and my heart belonged to him.
Since that day, it's been normal. Insults here, crude remarks there. But everyday in Potions, I find myself starring at him or purposely diverting my attention toward him. Once, I believe I actually caught him starring at me, but obviously it was my imagination. He, a Slytherin, would never lay eyes on me for more than a moment.
As I walked out of class one day, I slowed hoping I would see him. Well I did. And he knocked me over. My books flew as did his and he landed on me. He jumped up and I slowly sat up. He whispered 'Are you all right" I nodded.
"For Merlin's sake Weasley watch where you're going. I swear you Weasley's are worthless and stupid to the core" He insulted. I pretended to be hurt.
"Malfoy leave her be, it was an accident" Harry defended me.
"Oh if it isn't Weasley's knight is shining armour" He said. That hurt. I stood up and gathered my books and turned toward him.
"You bastard, I hate you" I yelled and ran down the hall toward the courtyard. I didn't mean to say that, but I was annoyed with the fact that everyone assumed I was in love with Harry, I wasn't honestly. By now you should realize Draco is the one I'm crazy for.
When I got to the courtyard I ran to the bench farthest away from the school. After sitting there for quite some time, I decided it was best I head back. Dinner would begin soon. I walked through the corridors toward the Gryffindor common room so I could put my books away. I stepped through the portrait hole where I found 6 pairs of eyes starring at me. I walked past them toward to girls' dormitory and set my books down on my bed. I walked back into the common room.
"Well don't just sit there and stare, Dinner will start soon" I said and walked out of the room, all 6 quickly following behind me.
Once again, I caught myself starring at him. I'd turn to stretch and look at him. It killed me to keep this secret of my longing for Draco.
"Ginny what's the matter, you seem a bit off today" Hermione said.
"I'm just a bit tired" I replied.
"Are you sure" She asked.
"Positive" I said.
"I think I ought to be off to bed, I'm so exhausted."
"Would you like me to walk you to the common room" Harry asked.
"No, that's all right, but thank you" I said. I stood up and left the Great Hall.
As I walked down the corridor I stopped. There was a single black rose lying on the ground. I bent down and picked it up.
"I'm truly sorry for the things I said this morning Ginny" I heard. I turned around and there was Draco holding a large bouquet of black roses. I know black roses mean death, but I think they're absolutely beautiful, I'm quite tired of red.
"It's all right, I'm sorry for what I said" I told him.
"Don't be, I deserved it" he said. He walked closer and handed me the bouquet. I smiled as did he. I could feel the heat in my cheeks begin to grow.
"You look so adorable when you blush" Draco said. I blushed even more. He leaned in closer and placed a gentle kiss upon my lips.
"Good night Ginny" He whispered.
"Good night" I replied. I turned around and continued my journey to the Gryffindor common room.
When I woke up the next morning no one was in the dorm but I heard a lot of loud talking in the common room. I grabbed my robe and put it on and walked to the stairs. I looked around and there was an assortment of roses in the room. Of almost every color....but red. There were black roses, pink roses, blue roses, yellow roses, white roses, orange and every other color you could think, except red. I couldn't believe it.
"Ginny, they're for you" Ron said. All for me. That's not possible.....Draco. I smiled.
"OK, who are they from" Percy asked. His big brother mode was kicking in. He's actually very protective of me.
"Honestly, I don't know' I lied.
"OOOOHHH Ginny's got herself and admirer" Fred and George cooed. I rolled my eyes and went back to the dorm and changed into my uniform and went to breakfast with everyone else.
Fred and George kept carrying on about the admirer thing. It was now the talk of the school. I turned to look toward Draco and saw him looking at me. He nodded. So they were his doing. Sneaky little bugger.
Out of nowhere an owl came swooping down and dropped a letter in front of me.
"Whose owl is that" Everyone whispered. I knew but I was about to admit it.
"Open it" I heard from all over the table.
Everyone was eager to read it just as I was. I smiled to myself and put the letter in my pocket and stood up and walked out of the great hall. I walked toward the courtyard and pulled the letter out of my pocket. I slowly opened it and began to read.
Ginny,
Did you like the flowers? I purposely left out the red ones. Hope you didn't mind. I really hope you liked them. It took quite a long time to get into the common room. Tell me, would you meet me tonight for a private dinner? In the astronomy tower at 10:00 p.m. Don't eat dinner. I'll see you in class.
Always True,
You Admirer
I folded the letter up and smiled to myself. He was being so sweet, everyone was wrong about him. I walked back in to the Great Hall and sat down.
"Well what did it say" Hermione asked.
"Nothing" I said.
A/N: Well what did you all think?
