GAVE IT ALL UP FOR LOVE
BY: SAIYA-JIN GIRL
Chapter Four: More to Life
Ginny and Draco had been separated from their detentions until the last day. This was the first time that they were meeting face to face again. When she stepped into Professor McGonagal's office, she saw Draco sitting at the front of the class. He didn't see her, and so she crept up behind him and placed her hands on his eyes. She felt him jump and then he relaxed.
"Ginny," he said. She pulled her hands back and froze. Ginny?
"You...you called me Ginny," she said. He turned around and looked at her.
"Oh, you want me to call you Weasely then?" he asked. She sat down.
"No, Ginny is fine," she said with a smile. He shook his head.
"Where is McGonagal?" he asked turning around. She shrugged and looked at the blackboard.
"Oh, what is that?" she asked looking at the board. She hit his shoulder and he turned around and glared at her. "Not me, idiot, the blackboard," she said. He looked at the board and shrugged. "I...I think that's our detention tonight," she said. He read the board aloud.
"Your detention tonight is simply to stay together. Your goal is to get along for the next four hours, and that is why I sent you both notes to get your assignments finished early. For every argument you have, it is ten points taken from your house and another night's worth detention. Enjoy your afternoon. Professor McGonagal." they looked at eachother.
"Wow, so we just have to stay here?" she asked. He opened his mouth to retort something then he simply nodded. She sighed. "Wonderful," she said. She reclined in her seat and closed her eyes.
"What's it like being poor?" he asked. She looked at him.
"What do you mean?" she asked. He shrugged.
"Well, all my life, I've been rich, and you have been...well poor," he said. She sat up and turned to face him.
"Let me tell you something, Malfoy. My family, means everything to me, and...we might be poor in gold...but we're rich in love. I don't think that I've honestly met any family as...as wonderful as mine," she said. As he looked at her, something dawned on him.
"You mean, you don't care about money?" he asked. She looked down.
"Well, I mean we do need money sometimes, but, we hold together," she said. He nodded. "Have you ever been in love, Malfoy?" she asked. He looked startled.
"Well, not really," he said. She smiled.
"Well, have you ever been kissed?" she asked. He nodded.
"Oh, loads of times," he said. She inched closer to him and looked into his eyes.
"Well...can you kiss me now?" she asked. He looked into her eyes and then he leaned over and placed a light kiss on her lips. He pulled away quickly and looked at her. She looked down and blushed.
He looked at her. "I guess that we were getting along a little too well," he said. She giggled.
"I guess so," she said.
She looked away and then she sighed. "I'm sorry about that," she said. He nodded and didn't reply. They sat in silence and then she rose up and went over to the board.
"What are you doing?" he asked. She shrugged and picked up a piece of chalk and began doodling on the board. He watched her as she drew on the board and then she began to hum a song, it was then all the thoughts began rushing through their heads. I can't believe that I kissed her...
I can't believe that I kissed that idiot...
She always annoyed me....
He always pissed me off...
Why does she seem...different to me?
Why was he asking me all those questions?
What's wrong with me?
What the hell is wrong with me?
Ginny stopped drawing and she turned around and looked at Draco. He looked up and they looked at each other without saying anything. Something had happened. Something had changed between them. She looked away quickly and she closed her eyes. For the next hour, they avoided each other's eyes and they stayed on opposite ends of the classroom. Ginny looked at him and she sighed. She began to slowly walk over to where he sat and she sat next to him. He looked at her and nodded.
"So..." he said.
"So..." she said. The silence was so thick they could cut it with a knife.
He sighed. "Ok, listen, we have to..." she leaned over and kissed him again and he returned willfully. She pulled away and smiled.
"We had to kiss one more time," she said with a grin. He shook his head.
"Tell me. Are you falling in love with me? Malfoys aren't supposed to fall in love..." he said touching her face. She blushed.
"I hope that I'm not," she said looking into his eyes.
"Why?" he asked. She smiled.
"Because I'm a Weasely. Weasely's don't fall in love with Malfoys," she said. He blinked and then the effect of her words hit him and they recoiled from eachother. "This can't be happening to me..." she said. He looked at her.
"It can't happen to me either..." he said.
"My family...and...You've terrorized me for the last six years of my life..." she said. He rolled his eyes.
"You annoyed me too!" he said. She laughed.
"You always started everything. Hermione suspected that you liked me and you were too shy to admit it," she said. He laughed.
"I didn't even know you, I still don't know you that well," he said. She shook her head and she rose up again.
"I suppose that it won't do us any good sitting here..." she said. He nodded and she moved to the other side of the class.
They spent the rest of the time in silence. When the time was up, the door opened and they sighed with relief.
"Well we made it," he said. She looked at him, startled.
"What?" she asked.
"Detention." he said. "It's over..." he said. She looked down and nodded. She didn't know why she felt like this. She felt as though...as though she was leaving something behind. She looked at him and then she smiled.
"Oh, well, good night then," she said. She began walking away when he called her. She turned around and he smiled at her.
"Good night," he said. She nodded, but did not smile, and she walked away.

"Now, was that all pent up energy?" he asked. She smiled.
"I guess," she said. Why am I smiling? He nodded.
"I think that means that we need to spend more time together," he said. She looked at him.
