The Great Hall was filled full of eager teenagers awaiting their favorite band to come on stage. The ceiling had been enchanted so that it looked as if they were at an actual concert. The bright lights almost blinded Ginny as she walked in through the large oak doors, and she covered her big brown eyes for a moment. The Great Hall looked wonderful, it looked as if the rainbow had been brought from the outdoors and set inside.
The redhead sighed to herself. There was too much chaos for this little girl, but Mione' made her come. They had dressed up for it, but Ginny thought that it was dressing down really. Ginny saw a lot of people she knew dressed in Muggle's clothing, along with her and Mione'. The girl noticed that almost all of the females in the room were wearing skimpy little halter-tops that showed their bellies.
As she and Mione' made it through the crowd to the front of the stage she noticed people moving around in the back of the stage. She heard his low voice. Her eyes flickered to Mione' and she gave her a little sigh.
"I didn't even say anything Mione', I just looked at you" the redhead tried to protest against Hermione's stern look.
"I know, but you're be stupid Gin. You two have been dating for what now? Six months and you still get freaked to see him?" Hermione pursed her lips at Ginny telling her not to worry. Ginny sighed and looked back over at the stage and saw a glimpse of him. She began to get nervous as she looked at him and they locked eyes.
"Damn you" she mouthed to the raven-haired boy. Ginny hated Harry for what he had done to her. She hated looked at him or even hearing about him. He ruined everything with her last year. Her recent relationship wouldn't be real if it wasn't for Hermione though. Ginny slipped into deep thought of her past...
Mean while, back stage Draco paced the room that they were in. He went over the words in his head, slowly repeating them so himself. He was beginning to notice that he was making a pattern in the carpet from his pacing..he must stop this idiotic behavior now.
"Draco, would you just shut up man. You need to relax, I know that it's your first time singing and all but common, it's not going to kill you. The school is going to love you. I promise." The words from Blaise's mouth relaxed Draco some and then they heard Dumbledore up on stage getting ready to announce them.
"Ok, I would like to thank you all for coming. Tonight we have a wonderful group from our own school performing. I would like to ask of two things though before we begin this exciting evening." The Headmaster took a breath and sighed and began again. "First things first, please be kind to the band up here and always cheer for them" he sighed again and spoke again his breathing slow. "Would Miss Ginny Weasley please step into the middle of the hall please? Everyone make a large circle around her." Dumbledore smiled at the redhead.
The kids in the audience giggled as they heard Ginny being called to the middle. "I wonder what she did this time?" People whispered around her still giggling.
"Silence Everyone." The great man spoke yet again looking down at the young bright eyed girl. "We may begin now" and he stepped off the stage waiting for the boys to take their place.
Blaise and everyone else took their places on the stage and the lights were dimmed. Ron began playing the guitar and Blaise led with the drums. The boys were in unison now with their tune and Draco began his solo to Ginny Weasley. Their eyes locked and she blushed at his words.
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
Ginny scowled at him for singing this song. People began to sway to the music that the beautiful blond sang and she listened to him some more.
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
Draco saw Ginny's ears get red and he starred at the ground, knowing that she was pissed at him for getting her back for what she had done to him last year.
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go.
Ginny's anger began to boil and she was starting to notice what her boyfriend was getting at. Yes she cheated on him last year and yes now she hates Potter. But no this isn't fair that he get's to start this in front of everyone.
I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Draco looked up from the ground and stared deep down into Ginny's brown eyes with h is ice cold grey ones.
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
The guitar solo began and Ginny looked away from the stage. She stared down at her small feet on the floor. She could feel everyone looking at her, wondering what the heck was going on and he started to sing again.
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
Ginny's eyes were full of tears by this time now and Draco noticed it. He wanted to run up to her and hold her in his arms forever. Like he had done last night and the night before. Feeling her every breath and smelling her sweet scent. He stared at her in wonder still singing as another tear fell to the ground..oh how he wanted her in his arms at this very moment.
The boys eyes slowly filled with tears but somehow his voice did not break from the feeling he was having in it, the pain of breaking her heart.
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Suddenly out of nowhere she ran. Ginny ran out of the Great Hall, watching as people in front of her tried to make an opening so that she could make it through them. Draco had taken the mike from it's stand that it was in and through the stand. It went flying through the air and almost hit a kid on the way through the air. The young blond jumped off the stage and followed her throwing his mic to Harry, who took over the last part of the song for him.
He ran straight through the crowd and found Ginny sitting on the ground hunched over sobbing. He could still hear the band on stage and he walked over to the girl. She looked up at him and glared.
"Damn you. What the-"she got cut off by Draco who was on the ground along with her kissing her soft cherry lips. She kissed him back and pulled away.
"Why did you do that Draco? I don't understand what that was all about. Ok so I cheated on you..last year. That was a long time ago and I don't know why you are still doing this" she sighed and put her head on his chest.
"I hate you so much sometimes, but, I know that it was harmless and that you didn't mean to get me to cry. It was just painful, that's all." She tilted her head up to his and kissed him. Not letting the boy speak she asked for entrance with her tongue into his mouth, and he accepted. The sat there on the floor, embraced in each others arms, steeling kisses from one another.
