A Snake and A Lion

Chapter 1

"How could you do this to me? I thought you loved me!" Ginny screamed at Harry. He just stood there naked and stunned with a equally naked and stunned Luna.

"You are suppose to be my best friend." She said turning on Luna who looked as though she wanted to cry. Just than Harry unfroze and dropped his arms from around Luna.

"Ginny please, I didn't mean for this to happen. It was an accident, please forgive me Ginny." Harry begged as he took a step closer to her. Ginny just backed away from him.

"I trusted you and you betrayed me. We are over Harry and I mean it. And Luna consider our plans canceled for this weekend and any other time." She said just before walking out of Gryffindor tower. As she walked down the hall Ginny took her iPod out of her pocket and turned her favorite song all the way up. She walked down to the lake and watched the sunset as she cried softly to herself. It was almost dark when she noticed someone watching her. As she studied them she realized it was Draco Malfoy. She stood and walked over to him.

"How long have you been watching me and why are you watching me?" She asked the blond haired boy.

"I followed you after I heard you yelling at Potter. I was curious to see where you were going to go seeing as that is your house as well as his. When you sat down and started crying I was angry at Potter for hurting you but I didn't know why it matter to me. I stayed here trying to figure out what the bloody hell was wrong with me and why I cared how you felt." Draco rambled. Ginny watched as the emotions played over Draco's face. First curiosity, than anger mixed with sadness, than to curiosity and confusion. She was smiling at him when he stopped talking.

"What are you smiling about Weasley?" Draco said a little unnerved.

"The fact that you, Draco Malfoy, care about me enough to get mad at my ex boyfriend for making me cry." Ginny giggled.

"I do not care about you. I just wanted to watch you cry. I get pleasure from your pain." His face had grown red with anger. He turned on his heal and walked away from her as she giggled.

"I still want to know why he was worried about me. I mean he is Draco Malfoy for crying out loud." Ginny huffed as she paced the dorm room she shared with Hermione.

"I don't know why he is worried about you but you're right it's weird." Hermione said laying on her bed. Ginny flopped down onto her bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"I wish he would be honest for once in his life and tell me why he was worried about me." She glared at the red and gold scarf that was on the end of her bed.

"Maybe he likes you but does not want to tell you cause he is suppose to hate you." Hermione said as she turned to look at Ginny.

"You're crazy Hermione, he will always hate me. He is a Malfoy and I am a Weasley, we cant like each other. If he did that would be weird cause he is always so mean to me." She said facing her.

"I think you like him." She smirked. Ginny through a pillow at her and it hit her in the stomach.

"I don't like Draco. I never have nor will I ever." She said firmly giving her an evil look.

"Yes you do, cause if you didn't than you would not have thrown the pillow at me when I said it." Hermione said smartly.

"Oh shut up, I don't like him ok, just drop it." Ginny said than turned away from her and went to sleep.

"Good morning Ginny." A silky voice said from behind her making her jump. When she turned around she was shocked to see Draco smiling at her.

"Since when do you call me Ginny and why are you smiling like that its creeping me out." She said getting lost in his silver eyes.

"I figured I should be nice and explain why I was watching you yesterday. The real reason I was watching." He smiled.

"Ok so start talking." She had her guard up now.

"I was really watching you because I was angry with Potter for hurting you and I wanted to make sure you were ok because I really like you." He said in a rush. Ginny stood there shocked and not believing what he had just said.

"Don't mess with me Draco or I will hex you." She said seriously.

"I'm not joking Ginny." He took her hand. "I really do like you even if we are suppose to hate each other. I want you to be my girlfriend." He smiled at her.

"You are insane Draco. I will never be your girlfriend. We hate each other and I know this is just some joke that you and Blaise are playing on me and it's not funny." She jerked her hand away from him and walked away. As she walked out of the school she could hear him calling after her but to turn around would just give him the sadisfaction of knowing the truth. A truth that no one could know ever. That she was completely in love with Draco Malfoy.

"She thinks I'm messing with her." Draco said turning to face his best friend Blaise.

"I thought you were messing with her." Blaise smiled.

"I was at first but last night I was thinking about her and I realized that I really do like her. Ginny is smart, sweet, funny, and so cute. If you tell anyone I just admitted to liking a Weasley I will kill you." He snarled when he saw the look in Blaise's eyes.

"I swear I wont tell a soul." He said when he saw that Draco was not kidding.

"Good, now I'm going to see if I can go talk some sense into that girl and convince her that I really do like her and I'm not just messing with her." Draco said as he walked out of the school.

"Ginny wait please, I need to talk to you." Draco said when he caught up to her by the lake.

"What do you want Draco and don't mess with me right now cause I'm not in the mood for it." Ginny said turning on him and hiding her real feelings.

"I was never messing with you. I really do like you Ginny. I really want you to be my girlfriend. I would never lie about this kind of thing." He said honestly. He had never told a girl a lie when it came to a relationship.

"Why do you like me? What have I done that has caught your eye so bad that you have to have me?" She huffed.

"You were just being you and I love that about a girl. I just want a chance to prove that I'm not a jerk all the time. That I can be a nice guy and that I have feelings other than hate." He smiled.

"You can do that without me being your girlfriend. You know what, I will test you and if you can pass the test I will be your girlfriend, but only if you pass the test. If you don't you have to leave me, my family, and my friends alone for good." She said seriously.

"Ok when do you want to start the test?" He asked. He wanted to get the test out of the way as soon as possible so he could have the girl he wanted most.

"Tomorrow meet me outside of the Great Hall after breakfast. You are going to walk with me to my classes and carry my books for me. If you can do that and not try to kill anyone for saying things about us as we pass than you pass part one of the test." Ginny smiled and walked back to the school twitching her hips to tease him. Just before she walked in the front door she heard him let out a loud whistle. She walked up to the dorm and ran into her brothers Fred and George.

"Oh hi." She smiled when she saw them.

"Hello Ginny." They said together.

"What were you doing talking with Malfoy?" George asked.

"I was just talking to him about an assignment we got paired together on." She lied.

"Than why did you smiled and twitch your hips as you walked away, than giggle when he whistled?" Fred asked.

"Why are you two being so nosy? I was talking with Draco for my own reasons and those reason might be reviled to you shortly. Now if you will excuse me I'm going up to my room before I try and kill the pair of you." Ginny snapped and pushed between her brothers. Fred and George looked at each other than back at their little sister than shook their heads.
