Dundun da dun!!!!
~We'll just have to share~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny Weasley was your typical 16 year old. She loved clothes and
makeup and of course, guys. hot, hot guys. She had a lot more friends now
then she did in her earlier years, because back then, she usually kept to
herself. She hated every moment of it. Being know as "the quiet red-head"
didn't exactly strike her fancy. So, she started goofing off, and joining class
discussions, and talking to people more often. It was her run-in with Malfoy
in her 3rd year and the fight that followed that caught everyone's attention...
"Watch it!" Malfoy said. Someone had ran into him. Someone with red
hair. "Oh. If it isn't the little weasel. And her bag broke, what a shame." he
said looking sympathetic. "It's going to take your family an entire year to get
the money to pay for a new one."
Harry and Ron, who were sitting at the Gryfinndor table were watching
everything. They started to stand, but Hermione grabbed their arms and
pulled them down.
"Let her handle it." she said firmly.
Ginny never looked up. She just kept picking up her things and trying
to ignore the last comment about her family. She reached for her potions
book, but Malfoy kicked it out of reach.
"Oops." he said. Oops was right. Ginny snapped.
"God damnitt Malfoy! What the hell is your problem!" she screamed as she
shoved him. He stumbled backwards for a moment before straightening.
"Keep your hands off of me. I just got these cleaned." he said dusting
off his robes.
At this point, Ginny was shaking with anger, and the whole hall was
watching. She did the first thing that came to her mind. She punched him.
Hard. Right in his perfect nose. Crimson blood poured down his white cheeks
as his hands flew up to his nose and his eyes watered from pain. Growing up
with 6 brothers certainly had its advantages. And this was one of them.
"What the hell?!" Malfoy managed to say.
Ginny gave him one last glare before picking up her things and walking
out of the hall as if nothing happened. The room erupted with cheers, all
except for some of the Slytherins and teachers of course. She smiled to
herself as it finally sank in.
"I punched Draco Malfoy." she thought happily as she made her way to
her dorm.
The next day was even better. She had broken his nose. True, she got 5 weeks worth of detention with Snape, but it was worth it. Madam Pomfrey wouldn't heal it with magic, "he got what he deserved", Ginny heard her say, so he had to wear a cast. She burst out laughing whenever she saw him. He gave her death glares, but she just laughed harder and waved. Her father sent her a congratulations card via owl, and she hung it on her wall. Life was great. Ever since then, she had started hanging with Seamus, Dean, and Neville. They brought out the best in her. She had a natural born prankster buried deep inside that needed to come out. They helped her become the person she always wanted to be, and she was forever thankful. Her mother wasn't at all happy with all the detentions, but she didn't care. She finally had friends and her life was fun, not lonely anymore.
Now, 3 years later, everything was still perfect. She was still very good
friends with "the guys" as she liked to call them, and even a chance to date
Harry. To everyone's surprise, she declined.
"Sorry Harry." she told him. "You waited to long."
He was hurt, and she lost a piece of her heart when he walked away,
but it just wasn't meant to be. It took a while, but she finally found out,
unfortunately, the hard way. With the help of her friends, and several
thousand boxes of tissues she cried everything she ever felt for Harry out of
her system. Now everything was back to normal, and life was once again
great. Ginny was sitting at the Gryffindor table on Saturday with the guys.
"Are you okay?" Seamus asked loading his plate.
"Actually, I woke up this morning and just felt icky. Something is
bothering me, and I can't figure it out." she said standing. "I'm going to my
tree."
"Bye" said Neville.
"Don't stay out to long now." said Dean.
"I won't dad, don't worry." she said smiling sweetly.
"Shut up" Dean said laughing. "Bye"
"Bye!" she called over her shoulder.
Malfoy was watching. He had been waiting for the perfect moment to
seek revenge, and this was it. Or so he thought. Ginny hurried out he front
doors, and down the lawn to the forbidden forest. Malfoy made sure to keep
his distance.
"I wonder where she's going" he thought as he hid behind Hagrid's
hut. She kept on walking, until 10 minutes later, she reached her destination.
A tree. The tallest tree in the forest. This was her sanctuary. The place she
came when she was angry or sad. She sat at the very top, and there was a veil
of leaves that hid her from anyone, or anything happened to pass by. She
loved being up high, leaving all the feelings she went there with at the
bottom. A couple of hours up there, and she came down feeling like new. He
had even carved her name on a branch, so the tree was really hers. All hers.
At least that's what she thought.
"What is she doing in my tree?!" thought Malfoy, as he watched her
climb up to the top.
He waited until she was blocked from view, and started climbing. He
tried to be as quiet as possible because what he planned to do wouldn't work
if he gave himself away. He got to the veil of leaves, and then...
"AHHHH!!!" he screamed as he popped up.
Ginny let out a shriek , and kicked him in the chest. Malfoy lost his
balance, and fell backwards toward the ground. Ginny grabbed her wand and
performed a levitating charm. She waited until he was about a foot away
from the ground, and then let him drop.
"Owww!" he yelled up the her.
"Serves you right for scaring me. Why did you follow me?" she asked
looking confused.
"To seek my revenge on you" he yelled.
"Ooh I'm shaking." she yelled back smiling. "Get away from my tree."
"Excuse me Weasley, but I believe this is my tree." he said plainly. She
arched an eyebrow, and then smiled.
"Look on the underside of the branch right in front of your face." she
said. He did, and what he saw didn't please him. There, carved in perfect
cursive, was the name Ginny.
"Very nice Weasley. Now its your turn. Look above you and to the
left." he instructed. She did, and what she saw surprised her. He had carved
Draco, with a snake around it.
"Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit" she said more to herself
than anyone.
"Looks like I win." he said smirking.
"Sorry sweetie, but it's not that simple. We'll just have to share." she
said climbing down.
"Share?! No way. I'm not sharing anything with you." he said looking
at her.
"Oh yes you are. I don't give up that easily. I'm not gonna waste my
time finding another tree, just because your an asshole." she said walking
away.
"I guess we'll see." he called after her.
"Yeah. I guess we will."
"And don't call me sweetie!"
"Alright muffin!"
"Did you find peace and solitude in your precious tree Gin?" Neville
asked the next day at lunch.
"Hey now Neville. Don't dis the tree until you've experienced it for
yourself." she said while buttering her toast.
"How are we supposed to try it," piped in Seamus, "you won't even tell
us where it is."
"And I never will." Ginny replied. "And no Neville, I didn't find peace
and solitude, but I did find a certain bouncing ferret..."
"Malfoy!? Did he follow you there?" asked Dean.
"Well yes and no. It turns out that Malfoy and I...had the same
idea....when it came to seeking solitude." she finally finished.
"In English please if you don't mind" Neville said looking confused.
"Oh honestly boys! I thought you were smart!" she said looking at their
confused faces. "We go to the same tree! Geez!"
"Oh!" they all said.
"Why couldn't you just say it like a normal person" Dean asked.
"Hey. What can I say. I like sounding smart." she said grinning.
"Anyway, he followed me out there, said something about revenge, and
scared me. Probably thought I was gonna fall, but I kicked him and he fell
first."
The boys started laughing.
"Turns out he carved his name too, so technically the tree is also his. I
told him that we would just have to share. He said no, but eventually he'll
realize it's the only way. I'm not giving up my tree for him." she explained.
"Good for you Gin. Put your foot down." Dean said as he hit the table
with his fist. Ginny laughed.
"What's up?" someone asked right behind her making her jump.
"Geez Harry. You always sneak up on my like that." she said turning to
look at him. But it wasn't Harry. It was Malfoy.
