All around her was excitement. Ever since the announcement about the ball, it was all the females could talk about. Just like the little group of females that sat outside.
Ginny sat outside in the courtyard with her friends as they babbled on what dresses they should wear and what colours they wanted from the dress shop. Ginny smiled watching her friends.
Her eyes averted to a figure that walked over to the group, stopping in front of one of her friends. Ginny grinned, laughing a bit along with her friends. Her friend looked at the boy, smiling shyly.
Slowly she stood, moving away from the girls and they wolf whistled after the two. They all burst out laughing, talking over each other. Ginny watched her friend nod her head, blushing slightly from whatever question was asked.
As her friend came back, a small smile on her lips as she sat back down next to all her friends. "What did he want Sarah?" They all asked at once.
"Christian asked me to go to the ball with him," Sarah informed, grinning, "Of course I said yes!" They all grinned, looking at Ginny. "Just you left Gin…You're the only one left without a date for the ball"
Ginny lifted one shoulder up lightly before dropping it again, "Ah well…I'm waiting for one of the boys from Durmstrang to grace their presence," She joked, flipping her hair over shoulder lightly. They all laughed at her comment, shaking their heads. "Otherwise, no boy asks me to the ball, I'll just go by myself and wow the crowd and steal all your dates"
All the girls mocked glared at her, throwing their grapes at Ginny's head. Ginny squealed covering her head with her arms before they all burst out laughing again. Ginny shook her head, grabbing her bag with a small smile on her face from her friends antics, "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get ready before tomorrow happens…I want to be well rested and with clean hair before we go dress hunting tomorrow morning in Hogsmeade!"
The girls nodded, telling her they would be in the common room later on. Ginny smiled, waving and going back inside the castle.
Ginny walked through the mostly deserted corridors, slowly making her way to the Gryffindor common room.
Once she reached the common room, she sighed, watching the Fat Lady for a moment before she turned going up the next flight of stairs. Ginny's thoughts slowly dragged away from the ball, school work and her friends till they stopped to unlikely pair of grey piercing eyes.
For the last week and a bit, she has been feeling his eyes piercing her back and her face anytime she was in his sight. It was slightly unnerving to have him watching her all the time. At night when she laid bed and her eyes were closed all she could seem to see was his eyes…
His beautiful grey…No not grey, She thought to herself as she carried on walked, Grey is not the right way to explain them…It was more like when the lighting flashed across they sky and light up the land down below it,
Frowning a bit, she snapped out of her reverie her eyes landing on the old astronomy tower. "How did I get here of all places…?" She mumbled to herself. Shrugging lightly, she opened the door, moving silently in and over to one of the windows.
As the sun slowly made its own way down behind the horizon, the door opened making Ginny jumped out of her skin. She turned round to see none other than Draco Malfoy standing, hand still on the door.
"Can I help you with something Malfoy?" Ginny glared slightly towards him, turning back to look out the window. A frown appearing on her face from being disturbed. The silence no longer there and the comfort washed away.
Draco stood there for a few minutes before closing the door while saying, "I came here for peace," He dropped his bag on the floor before moving over to the window, quickly brushing any improper thoughts out of his mind when he looked Ginny over in the left over sun light. Stifling a groan, he looked out the window, "Why are you here?"
Ginny looked back at him, her heart beating a little faster as the sun sculpted him to look like one of the Greek Gods. "Ah…Thinking I guess," She shrugged her shoulders lightly. Ginny pulled her wand out, summoning two chairs and a small table for them. She sat down looking out the window, watching him at the same time from his peripheral vision.
Draco looked down at the chair for a moment before sitting down. Propping his feet up on the window sill before getting comfortable. He looked at Ginny as she pulled her bag over to her with a small smile on her lips. He couldn't help but smile a bit before completely wiping it off his face, frowning at the odd sensations in his stomach.
He watched the way she dug through her bag. Watched the way when she scrunched her face up lightly when looking for something.
Ever since he had started getting these weird sensations in his heart, stomach and mind towards the youngest Weasley, he hasn't been able to stop watching her every move. Taking in her features every time she was near and if even closer, taking in her scent when the wind decided to blow it into his face.
"So, who are you going to the ball with?" Ginny asked, her eyes still searching though her bag. Draco lifted his eyes to hers.
"Parkinson…Bloody bint decided that we're 'engaged'", He shook his head, glaring out the window.
Ginny snorted, "She really said that?" She laughed a bit, "I thought would have happened years ago with how in love she is with you"
"I'm so pleased you find it situation humorous Weasley," He sneered, glaring at her. Ginny shook her head, laughing. "Who are you going with then? Potter?" He gritted his teeth as he said his name.
"What a pug face…" Ginny murmured. She looked at him when he said Harry's name but shook her head none the same, "No, I'm not…I think he's going with Cho or someone," Ginny shrugged her shoulders a bit, "I don't care because I stopped liking him that way so he can date whoever he likes to and the same with me…Not that it stopped me anyway" She laughed a bit, a memory popping into her head.
"I just love the way Ron's face goes all red when he sees me kissing a boy," She told Draco, pulling out her hair tie, "Finally…" She muttered, dropping her bag back down onto the floor.
Draco smirked, a idea coming into his head. "Your going by yourself then?" He asked her, watching her as she did her hair up. Once again she shrugged.
"I'm not really bothered by it all to be honest"
"So, what was that little dance that I saw you do with your little Gryffindor friend in the Great Hall last week?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Ginny instantly looked at him, seeing a smirk on his lips.
"That, Malfoy, was my victory dance," Ginny held her head up a little higher, "My friends and I were betting on what the announcement was going to be and I just happened to guess right"
"I'm surprised you have anything to bet," Draco informed her, his old ways never leaving him.
Ginny glared at him, "I have money, Malfoy, my Great Aunt sends me a monthly allowance thank you very much." Ginny turned away looking out the window, finally noticing that the sun had fully gone to wake the rest off the world while she was to go to bed.
"A Weasley has money?" He asked, a little surprised.
"It's not from the Weasley side…It's from the Prewitt side, my mother's side…She gave up her large inhertiance to be with my father and so my Aunt takes pity on me and gives me more than enough from the Prewitt family vault."
Draco nodded a bit, "Makes sense." He watched her before standing, "Come now, we can't starve." He said, offering his hand to help her up.
Ginny stared at his hand for a moment before looking into his eyes, She took his hand, standing slowly.
They both stood there looking into each other eyes for few minutes before she quickly looked away, grabbing her bag and moving over to his. She picked it up slowly, holding it out for him, "Come now, we can't starve," She informed him, smiling at using his own words.
Draco smirked slightly, walking past as he grabbed his bag. "Dinner will be over by now, we'll have to go to the kitchens," Draco advised her.
"Fine, at least it's food," Ginny smiled, following him out of the room.
"Have you decided what you're wearing to the ball?" Draco looked at her as she nodded straight to his question.
"My Great Aunt has already sent the designs to the dress shop in Hogsmeade and some to me but she had to go to Muggle London for the shoes," She shrugged slightly, "I'll have everything when I come back from Hogsmeade tomorrow." He nodded slowly, watching her yet again reach into her bag.
Soon enough, she pulled out a purple folder just as they reached the pear portrait. Draco tickled the pear, motioning Ginny to go through first before going in himself. Ginny sat at the big table in the middle of the kitchens as Draco sat opposite.
A house elf popped in, looking straight away at Ginny. "Miz Weasley! Dobby so happy to see you!" He squeaked, a big grin on his face. Ginny couldn't help but grin.
"Hi Dobby, can we please have whatever is left over from dinner?" She asked nicely. Dobby instantly started nodding his head as he dashed away to serve them. Ginny looked up at Draco and saw his frown, "What?"
"Why talk to them like that? Their slaves." He stated, a look of disgust in his eyes. Ginny rolled her eyes, sighing.
"Their living beings and have the same rights as us…Well legaly they should," Ginny muttered, shaking her head a little. Snapping out of it, pushing the purple folder in front of him, "This is the designs from the Great Aunt that she sent me earlier this week…Of the dress," She told him, "I think it's way to puffy so I'm going to get the skirt un-pufferized" She laughed a bit.
Draco looked at the folder before pulling it towards him and opening it. He pulled out the papers and staring at it, his mouth opening a bit. "Your Aunt has good taste," He informed her. The dress stood out on the page, smacking Draco in the face like a whip of fresh air. "You're wearing this?" He asked, looking at her.
Ginny nodded, frowning a bit, "Why? Don't you think it'll look nice on me?" She leaned forward a bit looking at the design. Draco shook his head a bit.
"More than nice Weasley…Wait till you see your brothers face when you walk into the Great Hall in this," Draco smirked, looking at him, "You'll have every male looking at you"
