Ginny sauntered through the streets of Diagon Alley on a bright summer day. As she passed the many stores and booths, she scanned the crowd, trying to find her brother Ron. She had gone to Madam Malkins to buy some new robes, and as impatient as Ron was, (not wanting to wait for her), they agreed to meet eachother at the ice cream shop in an hour. But when Ginny got there, Ron was nowhere in sight. "Figures," Ginny thought to herself. Seeing that Ron wasn't there, she wandered off to find him. She had been everywhere so far, and had not yet had any luck. "Oh for goodness sakes Ron," She said aloud to herself.
She saw so many people walking around that it was almost impossible to recognize anyone. She paced around some more, turning at a sudden corner she didn't even realize was there. She looked behind her, just to make sure that she hadn't missed him, but suddenly stopped and looked around. The atmosphere was grim and gloomy, and the regular chatter of people running around doing their errands was gone. Ginny wondered what had just happened. As she looked around, she discovered what it was. She hadn't been paying attention as she was too involved in looking for her brother to see that she had turned down Knockturn Alley. She glanced around, trying to find a way back to Diagon Alley, but there seemed to be no way out. She was completely lost. She began to walk around slowly, taking into notice the creepy shops and surroundings about her. One place had eyeballs and fingers on display in the windowsill, and another had a sign that said, "Poison for the Wise". Ginny knew that this was not the place for her to be, and wanted to get out as soon as possible. As she walked around cautiously, someone caught her eye. He had silvery blonde hair and his eyes were cold grey. It was Draco Malfoy. "Oh god," Ginny thought.
"This can't get any worse!"
She turned around and walked the other way. She realized she was walking rather quickly, but at the time she really could've cared less. She just wanted to find a way back to Diagon Alley. "In a hurry, Weasley?" Came that cold voice from behind her that she recognized from taunting and teasing towards her brother. Ginny didn't respond. She just kept walking. "Where could you possibly be going that is more important than talking to me," He said sarcastically. Ginny continued to walk even faster and was well aware of the footsteps that came from behind her. "Aaww, has the wittle baby wost her way?" He snickered.
At this Ginny bolted around to snap back at him, but was instantly lost in his deep grey eyes. She had not remembered him being so handsome. For a moment they just stood there, staring at eachother. It wasn't long before Ginny bounced back into reality.
"I happen to be on my way out of this ghastly place, for your information," She snapped.
Draco chuckled.
"Well, if you're on your way out, you might want to walk in the other direction. Diagon Alley's that way." He pointed behind him.
Ginny hesitated, and then began to walk the other way.
"I didn't hear a thank you, Weasley," Draco said as she walked past him.
"Oh, well I suppose I should thank you since it's probably the closest thing to a compliment you've ever gotten," She said shortly, trying not to make eye contact with him.
And with that he watched her walk away out of sight.
Whether it was her flaming red hair or her deep brown eyes...or perhaps her spice of a personality that caught his interest, Draco didn't know. She was strikingly pretty and Draco did not remember her being so. But one thing was for sure...he would be seeing that Weasley girl a lot more often this upcoming year, whether she wanted to or not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny was hardly paying attention to where she was going, which wasn't a good thing as she risked the chance of getting lost again. She was busy thinking about how Draco had shown her the way out, and was afraid to admit that he had been...considerate in showing her. She also couldn't keep his handsome face off of her mind, and his deep grey eyes. She imagined what it would be like to hold him and kiss him.
"Oh stop it, Ginny!" She thought to herself.
"He's a selfish prat, you can't think about him this way,"
She continued to walk and then realized that she was back in Diagon Alley. She didn't know how she had suddenly arrived, as she wasn't paying any attention at all. She remembered that she was looking for Ron, and started to search the crowd again.
"Ginny!" A voice called to her from the other direction.
"Ginny!!"
She turned around, trying to find who was calling her.
"Ginny, over here,"
She looked to her right and immediately began to blush. It was her crush of four years, Harry Potter.
"Ginny, Ron was looking for you but he couldn't find you," He told her.
"Oh...well I was at the ice cream shop, where he told me to meet him, but I didn't see him there," She responded, continuing to blush.
"He probably got there before you and left to look for you when he saw that you weren't there,"
"Yeah...probably,"
"Well, Ron's at The Leaky Cauldron waiting for us, so we'd better go. Come on," He said.
"Okay," Answered Ginny.
She followed Harry as he began walking towards The Leaky Cauldron. She mentally kicked herself. She knew that she had sounded like a complete idiot while talking to Harry. She always became so self-conscious around him.
They entered the bar and found Ron, seated at a table next to the window.
"Ginny, where were you?" He asked.
"It's been nearly two hours!"
"Ron, I went to the ice cream shop and saw that you weren't there, so I went off to look for you,"
"I didn't see you there either, so I left to find you too!"
"Sorry," Ginny said.
"That's okay...next time, try to be on time," He told her.
"Okay,"
Ginny was slightly annoyed at this because she had done exactly what he told her to do, but decided not to argue about it with him. She always lost when she argued with her brother.
"Let's go back to the burrow, mum's making dinner, and we're probably late," Ron said.
"Okay," Harry and Ginny said in unison.
They left The Leaky Cauldron and used floo powder to get back to the burrow.
They were right on time. Everyone was just sitting down at the table.
"I thought you three wouldn't make it!" Molly exclaimed.
"Sorry mum, Ginny got lost," Ron replied.
Ginny was angry at this comment, but didn't say anything.
"Well I'm glad you found her okay. Sit down for dinner, I'm sure you guys are hungry,"
They all sat down at the table and began to serve themselves. As Ginny ate, Draco came across her mind again.
"He's so good looking," She thought.
"And he did help me find the way back to Diagon Alley..."
"Ginny, did you get all of your school supplies okay?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah mum," She answered.
"Good," Molly smiled.
Ginny continued to eat her dinner, listening to Ron and Harry's chat about quidditch for a while before going up to bed. As she lay sprawled across the bedsheets, she still was thinking about Draco. She could see that she was beginning to develop a crush on him.
"Oh well...it'll probably be just like Harry. He won't ever notice me and he probably will forget that I even exist," She thought, before slowly drifting off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco lay in bed, thinking about Ginny.
"She is so beautiful," He thought.
"I have to have her, I just have to,"
Then a thought occured to him. 'She's Ron's little sister.'
Draco chuckled.
"He probably couldn't handle us being together," He said aloud.
"If we got together that would be sweet," He laughed.
"I always love to see the weasel boy enraged,"
He turned over on his side.
"No matter. I'll have the child and when I do, I'll make sure Ron will be the first to know," He thought.
"Besides, I saw the look of desire in her eyes earlier today in Knockturn Alley,"
And with this last thought, he turned over on his back and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
