on to the story =]
The October night was silent on the Hogwarts grounds. Ginny Weasley
crept out of the castle and ran to the edge of the lake. She walked around the
lake, occasionally stopping to pick a flower. The calm air made her want to
dance. Ginny carefully took off her shoes and started to twirl around in circles.
She spun round and round until she grew so dizzy she fell onto the ground. She
lay there until everything focused. She looked up at the brightly shining stars.
Suddenly, Ginny heard soft footfall approaching . Ginny didn't look or
care. She had her eyes fixed on a shooting star and she didn't want to lose it.
"Make a wish, Weasley," said an all-too-familiar soft voice.
"I did, Malfoy," Ginny snapped up at Malfoy. "My wish was for you to go
away."
"Well, sorry, but that's not going to come true anytime soon," Draco said
lightly. Ginny was surprised at the abscence of his usual drawl.
"What did you come out here for?" Ginny asked. Her guard was still
up but Draco hadn't insulted her yet and she wondered if it would ever come.
"To watch the stars, same as you," Draco replied. He lay down on the
grass beside her and they lay there for a while, looking up into the great night
sky.
"Hey, Malfoy, where's my insult?" Ginny asked somewhat warily.
"I lost it," Draco said. "Sorry I can't give it to you."
"Wow, Malfoy, you actually apologized. To a Weasley," said Ginny
sarcastically.
"Look, Ginny, can't I be nice? For once? My father's finally dead and his
Imperious Curse is finally lifted but no one seems to understand! All the
Slytherins are wondering if I'm going soft and the rest of the school hates
me for what my father has done. No one believes I was under the curse. I lost all
my quote 'friends' and I've been alone ever since the war ended." Draco broke
off there and stared glumly at the never-ending heavens.
Ginny shifted onto her side and looked at Draco. She studied his tired
face. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
The next day was Halloween. Dumbledore had hired a classical music
symphony to play on the grounds that night. No one was really excited about it.
They just wanted to stuff their faces at the Feast. The morning dragged by like
a turtle on weed. In Ginny's mind, there were classes, lunch, classes, Feast.
During all these, Ginny thought about Draco. Did his father really put the
Imperious Curse on him? Was he really being nice? Or was this some kind of
sick Slytherin joke? These questions chased each other around in Ginny's brain.
The Feast had finally ended and everyone filed out onto the front lawn of
the school. Dumbledore conjured up blankets for everyone to sit on. The
symphony introdued themselves and started to play a muggle song called
Mozart's Minuet in G Major.
Ginny's eyes searched around, finally locking onto Draco's. They
reached an unspoken agreement. Both stole away unnoticed from the
crowd. They ran back to the spot where they had been last night. Ginny
and Draco collapsed on the groud, laughing hysterically for no reason.
They lay on the grass, the sound of violins washing over them.
"Ginny?"Draco said suddenly after a while.
"Yeah?" Ginny rolled over on to her side and propped her head up on her
hand.
Draco did the same and looked into her eyes. "It's amazing how many
stars your eyes can hold," he half whispered.
They stayed like that for a long time. By, then Draco had seemed to come
back to his senses. He scrambled to his feet and offered a hand to Ginny. "May I
have this dance?" he said formally.
"Yes, you may," said Ginny, fighting not to giggle.
The symphony started playing Pachabel's Canon in D Major (a/n: my
favorite classical song). Ginny put her arms around Draco's neck and he put his
around her waist. They danced and danced until their feet hurt and had to sit
back down.
" Thank you, sir, for a wonderful evening," Ginny said trying to keep up the
formality.
" I can make it better," said Draco.
He slowly moved his head forward and Ginny, as though in a daze, did the
same. They met into a perfect kiss. A perfect kiss alone under the stars.
Ginny and Draco stayed like that until what felt like the end of time.
