Chapter 2: Troublesome Brothers and Mysterious Rooms
***
"You feel that way too?"
Wait… What did he say?
"God Gin, I'm so glad you brought it up! I haven't said anything because I didn't want to hurt you." He looked completely relieved.
"Well didn't you think not saying anything would have just made it worse?" she asked.
"Well I wouldn't have let it go on for too long, but your family is the only one I've really got. I didn't want them to hate me for hurting you, and I didn't want you to feel bad."
She threw her arms around his neck. "Oh Harry, I'm so glad you understand! But what will Ron say? He's going to completely freak out."
"He'll get over it eventually. It really doesn't matter what Ron thinks, it's not his place to say anything anyway."

"YOU WHAT?!?" Ginny heard Ron bellow from down the table. She and Harry had decided to sit with their own friends at lunch and had attracted some curious stares and whispers. Obviously, Harry had just told Ron why they weren't sitting together.
"GINNY GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IN GOD'S NAME YOU DUMPED HARRY!!" Ron shouted.
Great, she thought, now the whole school knows. The last thing I need is everyone asking me about it all day. She sighed and walked over to where Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting. Harry was looking embarrassed, Ron was glaring at her, and Hermione was trying desperately (and failing miserably) to get Ron to calm down.
"How could you be so selfish as to dump Harry like that?!" He yelled, with only slightly less volume in his voice.
"She didn't dump me Ron," Harry replied. Seeing Ginny's anger at her brother's comment, he added, "And she's not the selfish one. Don't you ever consider her feelings?"
"How could you dump my sister like that Harry?! God! Have you no heart?!"
"We broke up Ron, that's all there is to it. It's over. Now mind your own business," Ginny said in a venomous tone.
"Well if you two are happy with the decision, than that's all that matters," Hermione said calmly.
"It's not that simple! Mum is going to have a fit!"
"First of all, if you don't stop screaming about my personal life to the entire Hall, I'm going to curse you so bad that you barf slugs again! Second, if mum has a problem with it, she can go suck a fuck for all I care. It's none of hers or your business, got it? So shut up. This conversation is officially over!" Ginny yelled. Several pairs of eyes turned from their food to stare at her. Ignoring them, she stalked off back to her seat and served herself another helping of alligator. When she was done she quietly got up and walked out of the Great Hall, leaving everyone in the room staring at her.
She was halfway to the library when she heard her friend Colin calling her name.
"Ginny! Hey wait up! Is it true about you and Harry?!" he yelled, running after her.
Shit. I do not feel like dealing with Colin right now! I have to try and lose him. She took off at a run, not paying any attention to where she was going. She ran up a flight of stairs, down a corridor, and up another flight. She could still hear Colin calling her name from the bottom of the stairs.
"Ginny! Where are you going? I need to talk to you!"
She was running by an old tapestry on the seventh floor when she realized where she was. Looking at the opposite wall, she was surprised to see that the door to the Room of Requirement was already waiting for her to go inside. Assuming it has appeared because of her need of a place to hide, she threw open the door, dove inside, and slammed it shut again just as Colin came around the corner. That was close! she thought with a sigh of relief. I can't believe he followed me all the way up here! But it's strange that the room had already appeared… usually you have to walk by three times… I had only just come up the stairs…
Ginny looked around to see what the room had to offer her. There were a few multi-colored chenille couches scattered around the room. A roaring fire occupied the fireplace. A table on the opposite wall held an assortment of food, and a bookshelf next to it was laden with books that were waiting to be read. A small movement on one of the sofas caught her eye.
"HOLY HELL!!" Ginny yelled, realizing she was not alone.
"What the fuck are you doing here Weasley?!" screamed the other person in the room. He stood up, and she realized to her utmost horror that it was none other than Draco Malfoy.

A/N: Thank you to my wonderful beta Trancos. If you haven't read her story Ginny the Dragon Slayer, please go do so immediately (or after you finish mine LoL). The "suck a fuck" line comes from the incredible movie Donnie Darko (it's amazing go see it), though I'm sure I won't be sued for using it. Yes, Ginny does eat alligator. I had a craving for seafood and that's the first thing that came to mind. What? Don't look at me like that! It tastes like chicken I swear!!
A/N2: I know these chapters have been rather short, but I want to update frequently so you guys don't get sick of waiting and forget about me! Also, the places that I stop at the end of the chapters are just good ending points. I share a computer with my 3 other family members (my mom and dad are on it all the time!) so I can't write a lot at a time unless I'm up late, then I get in trouble for staying up too late! Forgive me please!
A/N3: Yes, another author's note! Well this is the last one I promise! Shoutouts to my reviewers:
To everyone, thank you for reviewing and for liking my story enough to review!
Trancos: You know my opinion of you! Thanks for all your help and time! Keep writing as long as you don't have much studying to do!
Sakura1287: I didn't want Ginny to be a stupid little girl in this cause I have read some fics that would have been a lot better with a more mature Ginny J.
Kitsune: I'm glad you finally did too!
Shyla and Starstruck: Thanks!
