Chapter One
The Insanity Of It All
Ginny Weasley felt as though her world was spinning. This was crazy! He's just so... so... Maybe if she walked away slowly he wouldn't notice. Keeping her frantic smile on her face she started taking a small step backwards. If she just walked ever so slowly, maybe she could escape his insanity.
"Ginny, I've loved you ever since I first saw you on the platform to Hogwarts! Wait, Ginny! Where are you going?! GINNY!" Harry Potter looked panicked as he watched Ginny backing away slowly, then turn into a full run. Glancing over her shoulder she saw that Harry had started to chase her down the corridor. 'Bloody hell! Why me?!' she thought angrily as she rounded a corner, her wavy red hair flying around her face, brown eye's wide with panic and anger. She did take note that she was running in the school uniform skirt and small heels, but as a gryfindor quidditch chaser, she was pretty agile. Unfortunately, so was Harry Potter, being the house seeker of course. He proved this by keeping on her heels, chasing her like she was some sort of golden snitch. Cursing to herself she made another turn and dashed into the library, quickly finding a hiding place before Harry could catch up to her.
Draco Malfoy watched as Potter ran after the Weasley girl, his signature smirk gracing his lips. 'This is going to be one interesting year…' He looked around the rest of the corridor as students of all years were leaving their first classes, heading towards their next. It was the beginning of his 6th year and everyone was still buzzing from their first day of classes. Some were still gawking at the scene they had just witnessed, a couple girls giggling and a few boys shaking their heads. He had a free period and was just relaxing for a moment. Granted, his version of relaxing was sneering at the first years and intimidating them. He looked down his nose at a particular first year Gryfindor as she stared up at him in awe. She was small, had wispy blonde hair, bright blue eyes and was gazing up at him as if he had just preformed the most amazing spell she had ever seen. His eyes narrowed at her petite form.
"What are you looking at?" She was not phased by the hostile tone in his question and seemed to actually be inching closer. His narrowed eyes suddenly turned to a surprised and somewhat disgusted look as he soon realized what her problem was.
"You are so beautiful..." She whispered towards him, inching closer still. He had to take a step back but soon realized that she had him almost pinned against the wall. 'Bleeding hell!' He reached out suddenly and grabbed her shoulder, making her gasp with excitement and smile almost dreamily at him, then shoved her to the side as he made what would have been an elegant retreat; had he not almost tripped over her school bag. After straightening his robes and brushing back his eye-length white-blonde hair, he held his head high and continued down the corridor towards the library as if nothing had happened. As soon as he found a chance to hide, he took it - gracefully of course.
Ginny was sitting under one of the tables in the library somewhere near the restricted section. She was holding her breath as she saw Harry's sneakers stop for a moment before moving on. Once they were out of sight she let out the breath she had been holding, sounding almost relieved as she did. That's when she noticed a pair of nice dress pants with polished dress shoes sitting in a chair at the table she was currently hiding under. She realized quickly that they belonged to a boy. If this boy discovered her down here... well that was just too many uncomfortable questions she just did not want to answer. Glancing around she decided to make her way to the nearest bookshelves, crawling on her hands and knee's, hoping the boy seated at her hiding place wouldn't notice her. She was inching away from the table when her hip brushed against his leg and a voice whispered ever so delicately,
"Leaving so soon Weaslette?" Closing her eyes and silently cursing, she came the to realization that the boy with nice dress pants, was none other than Draco Malfoy.
Ginny quickly stood up and straightened out her skirt, brushing off any dust. Without even looking at him she simply said, "I was just retrieving my... quill! You see, when I dropped it by mistake, it rolled under this table!" After a silent moment she heard him half chuckle at her excuse. She glared at him in return. Draco was reading what looked to be a book on dark arts, but rested it on the table, a delicate finger holding his page. He leaned back in his chair slightly to look at her while he spoke.
"That was a terrible lie Weasley. For one thing, quills do not simply roll when they fall, the feather usually stops that from happening, and for another thing, I don't see you holding the quill you so bravely saved from under my table." Ginny's face fell and his infamous smirk spread over his features, his eyes twinkling as he had caught her in an obvious lie.
"Yeah, well what do you know Malfoy?!" She spat out at him then turned to leave. Ignoring the fact that she was walking away he turned back to the book in his hand and spoke in a slightly amused tone.
"I know I saw Potter heading in that direction just a few moments ago, he seemed rather eager to find someone..." Ginny stopped in her tracks looking around frantically. "Avoiding Potter now are we?" She turned and glared at him once more.
"Shut it Malfoy..." She practically whispered while slowly backing up towards the bookshelves, glancing in every direction to make sure no one saw. Malfoy put his book down, rolling his eyes at her.
"Really Weasley? I thought you-" He was cut off by the library door being thrown open, echoing throughout. Draco suddenly ducked under the table and Ginny gave him a funny look as he put a finger to his lips in a panicky motion to keep her silent, his eyes wide. He had looked elegant sitting in the chair previously, but now his clothes were ruffled and the clear panic on his features was a little amusing to her.
"Have you seen him? Have you seen this amazing and beautiful man?!" A first year with blonde hair and small frame was racing around the library very excitedly with what looked to be a photograph of Draco that had obviously been taken without his knowledge. In the photo it seemed like he was sneering at all the younger students that passed him in the corridor as he stood next to a wall, and it looked as though it had been taken from a distance. Realization dawned on Ginny's face as she slowly smiled at Draco and took a step forward, lifting a hand as if to get this girls attention.
When Draco saw the mischievous look on Ginny Weasleys' face he panicked. With out a single thought except to stop her, he pounced. Just as Ginny took a step forward from her hiding spot, he had leapt from his position under the table, grabbing her around the waist and making them both fall to the ground in-between the book shelves she had previously been trying to hide in. With an Oomph! and a grunt on his part, they landed in a heap on the floor. Without giving her a chance to complain he quickly placed a hand over her mouth and looked behind them to see if anyone had noticed. After making sure no one had just witnessed this peculiar scene, he glared down at her flailing form, which was currently scratching and kicking at him, and whispered sharply.
"Don't make a sound and I will let go, and for the love of merlin please stop thrashing about! Your making this very uncomfortable!" With that she suddenly went still and her eyes widened. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity before he realized what she was thinking. His own eyes widened, "Oh no! Not at all what I meant Weasley!" 'Damn it!' He immediately scrambled up and backed away a step. Ginny had also quickly gotten up and took a step back, her eyes still wide and looking at him slightly horrified. She was still silent though as he glanced around a corner seeing the blonde still looking for him. When he turned back to her she had a huge grin on her face. This made him a little uneasy... What was this girl up to now? Ginny Weasley was just as notorious as her twin brothers Fred and George for causing mischief. He had a good reason to be nervous by that look. She crossed her arms under her chest, pushing her breasts up a little as she did. The school uniform shaped her body perfectly, and brought thoughts of those naughty school girl pictures Blaise Zabini had shown him from some muggle magazine. He quickly looked back up to her horrible grinning face, trying to ignore the fact that he had even noticed her breasts, let alone the rest of his thoughts. Giving her a nasty sneer he hoped would wipe the smile off her face, he was surprised at her next words.
"You're hiding from a little girl." Her grin only seemed to get wider at her own statement. He scoffed and looked at the bookshelf.
"Malfoy's do not hide, least of all from a silly little girl." He cringed as she outright laughed at him, then panicked as he heard the first years voice even closer,
"Lovey?! Are you here?!" Her excited and almost panicked voice seemed to radiate around him. He could also hear the distant Shhhh's of Madam Pince, as she was obviously chasing down the wild and loud first year student.
In Draco's panic he grabbed Ginny's wrist and pulled him with her as he moved further back in the bookshelves, turning corners until he got into the restricted section. pulling out his wand and saying a quick alohomora, he opened the door, locked it behind them and quickly pulled her behind one of the shelves. He watched carefully as the blonde walked past them looking excited and also a little confused. Then suddenly Madam Pince was there, and all in a whisper started lecturing the girl while dragging her out of the library, the blond trying desperately to get out of her grasp while yelling for 'her love'.
Ginny watched as Draco breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to relax his shoulders for a minute. It seemed so surreal, Her... here with Malfoy. She looked around and realized he had brought them to the restricted section of the library. She had never been here before. It looked... well creepy to be honest. The books were stacked neatly on the shelves but there were cobwebs everywhere and few books seemed to be breathing. There was a particular small book that caught her attention. Sitting atop a few large volumes it looked as though it had very large and sharply pointed teeth for it's size. It was quivering in it's spot and seemed to be on the verge of moving.
Looking back at Draco, she sighed.
"Look, not that this wasn't fun and all, but I'm late for muggle studies." Not entirely true... this was actually her free period and she didn't even take muggle studies, but she needed an excuse to get out of here before things got more awkward.
"No one's stopping you Weasley. " He sneered at her, seeming to become his self again after the first year was safely gone. Ginny rolled her eyes and pushed past him, she tried opening the door from the restricted section and quickly realized it was locked. Whispering alohomora to the lock with her wand, she then opened the door and tried to walk away with her head held high.
"Oh hey Potter..." Ginny froze and ducked behind a book shelf her heart racing with panic. that's when she hear his sinister laugh. Glaring behind the book shelf she saw Malfoy practically folded over with laughter. Ginny gave him a good glare before stomping out of the library.
