Rush of Summer Romance

The announcement was somewhat of a shock in the Weasley household. The residents (and guests) of the Burrow were siting around the dinner table when Arthur told them the news. It had been the casual conversation around the table until it was said;

"I just got the news myself but Draco and Arabeth Malfoy are coming to spend the summer with us. In fact, they're arriving tomorrow," the old man mumbled knowing that the Malfoys never got on with his family. He also knew that Harry didn't get on with Draco fairly well. The only ones who appeared to be excited about the visit were Fred and George. The pair high-fived each other before excusing themselves. Mrs Weasley eyed them with suspicion before looking to Ron and Harry with concern. The boys loathed Draco and nearly every holiday spent at the Burrow they always had something to say about Malfoy.

"Bloody Hell; Dad's serious," Ron exclaimed after a few moments of silence. Hermione kicked him and Harry elbowed his ribs. "What?" he looked between his two friends. "I just can't believe it that's all. Malfoy wouldn't stay here; he'd turn his nose at it as he does with nearly everything."

"Well he is," Mr Weasley clarified looking stern. "Whether you like it or not," this caused his remaining children to groan in unison. Hermione shot a glare at both Harry and Ron whilst muttering darkly. Mrs Weasley then dismissed them from the table as she began to clear up the bowls.

When the Malfoys arrived the next day, Ginny had locked herself in her room. Hermione and Mrs Weasley had failed to lore her out. The Weasley girl was simply stubborn and that was one of the family traits. As they walked up the garden path, the twins ran out to greet them. Watching from her bedroom window, Ginny swore she saw one of the twins snog Arabeth but she could have mistaken it for a hug. The red head then turned her sights onto Draco and blushed; he was better looking than Harry now which was slightly disturbing. Still, she continued to stare at him until the blonde had disappeared into the house completely. Ginny looked at her bedroom door when she heard voices on the corridor.

"Are you completely sure she's refusing to come out of her room?" came a soft tone; this was what made Arabeth different from her family. The girl was for Muggle borns and enjoyed the company of Gryffindors appose to her own house. There was a sharp knock on the bedroom door. "Hey Gin, it is I, Arabeth. It is alright if I came in?"

Reluctantly, Ginny strolled over to her door and turned the key. Once the door was open, a body fell on top of her. She felt something heavy on her as she crashed onto the ground. After the yelps of confusion subsided, Ginny registered the key turning on the other side of the door. She attempted to sit up forgetting that someone was on top of her. Her head connected with someone else's. It hurt. The red head blinked and looked up. Dark eyes widened as they gazed into pale eyes.

"Get… get off me!" she screamed pushing Malfoy off of her.

"Lovely to see you too, Weasley," he grunted as he landed on his back. "Your brothers pushed me in after they dragged him up the stairs. I always thought you Weasleys were gentle cowards but they almost killed me." The blonde stood wiping invisible dust off of his trousers before going the door. "I've got a headache because of your head butt."

"I didn't mean it," she grunted out standing up herself. "They locked the door on us," she cried angrily. How long am I going to live? she thought rubbing a hand against her fore head. "I'm going to kill them!"

"Not if I get to them first," Draco smirked; he was beginning to like the Weasley. Maybe he had liked her for a while? "I really want to strangle that bitch," he cursed referring to Arabeth as she normally put odd thoughts into his head. The blonde looked towards Ginny, "I gather we're going to be in here for a while."

"You gathered correctly," she sneered dropping onto her bed. This was going to be torture. Locked in her bedroom with Malfoy of all people. "I want to die," she shook with anger.

"The feeling is neutral," Malfoy ground out sitting beside her with a grumpy expression. He crossed his arms across his chest stubbornly before glaring at Ginny with respect. "I have to admit that you are different from your brothers; you have a lot more sense."

Ginny returned his expression, "Did you just give me a compliment? Excuse me for a moment whilst I vomit," it was shocking to hear that from Malfoy of all people. Uncharacteriscally, Malfoy reached over and put his lips over hers. After a moment he pulled back and stared at the ground.

"That doesn't mean I like you, Weasley." Ginny laughed at that and kissed his cheek.

"Don't worry I don't like you either."
