All that I do

Is not enough for you

Don't wanna lose it

But I'm not like that

When finally

You get to love

Guess what

Chapter 6: Harry Potter

April 1997

The kiss seen around the world. Gryffindor had won the Quidditch cup and no one was more excited than Ginny. They were all dancing and partying in the middle of the common room when Harry walked in from tutoring with Dumbledore. Both of them were excited. Both of them were in the moment. And it came as a huge surprised when Harry kissed Ginny in front of everybody, including Ron, who shockingly had nothing bad to say about it.

Ginny's heart was bursting with happiness. She had waited for this moment every since she was 11 and saw Harry in her kitchen eating her mother's food. For years she had pined over this boy, despite Hermione's insistence to move on. Try as hard as she did, she couldn't shake him. She couldn't just set aside her feelings that had been brewing since before she could identify every one of them.

The two of them ran out of the common room, hand in hand. They had went through the castle laughing and cheering until they got to the courtyard fountain. Harry hoisted her up on the wall surrounding the fountain, and held her close as their lips and tongue fought for dominance.

Little did she know that they were being watched. And for the first time ever, his blood boiled over Ginny's new prospect

Draco watched the new couple snog and giggle over this and that. Finally he had had enough a dun he stormed off towards the dungeons, body trembling in anger as he walked.

Potter?! Of all the fucking pricks in this school, she had to get with Harry The Golden Boy Potter?! He could have sworn Ginny said she was over that prat ages ago! Sure he knew she liked him, they had talked about it quite a few times through the years. Just like Hermione, he had also told her to move on from him because clearly Scarhead was too blind to see what was right in front of him. Why now?!

He yelled out the password and went through the door, saying nothing to Blaise and Theo as he passed by them and went straight for the sixth year dorm. He locked the door, he didn't give a damn who wanted to get in. He wanted to be to himself.

He threw his practice snitch across the room, plopped down on his bed, and began to stew. He felt completely betrayed and heartbroken. He had thought since the day that prat Thomas cheated, that he and Ginny were making progress towards a relationship. They were certainly more flirty towards each other. He didn't want to rush things so he hadn't asked her out. Had he known this was going to bloody happen...

Emotions flooded his body and consumed his mind. He didn't even know how he was going to face Ginny in the morning. Should he just march right up to her and tell her he had seen the two of them?

Draco kicked his shoes off and got under the covers. Maybe he was the one being foolish. Maybe he was the one that needed to take his own advice and move on. She clearly didn't want him. She had shown that since they met that it wasn't going to happen. So why was he still stuck on this girl? Had her really fucked up and fallen in love with her?

June 2, 1997

"I don't think I should come." said Ginny as Blaise pulled her toward the Room Of Requirement.

"Are you mental?" asked Blaise. "Why wouldn't you come to Draco's birthday party?"

"Draco and I haven't spoken in almost two months and you know it Blaise. I don't know what's wrong. He's not going to want me there."

Blaise sighed. He knew all about the situation. He had been bugging Draco to just let it go and talk to the girl because he was miserable and miserable to be around. He couldn't tell Ginny that. Draco would have to himself.

"Why wouldn't he want his best friend at his coming of age party?"

Ginny shrugged not knowing what to say. "Fine. Stop dragging me, I'll go willingly." she said, stepping in line with Blaise.

They made it to the room and opened the door to reveal a birthday party of epic proportions. There were flashing lights that was flashing in beat with the music, food was everywhere, ice sculptures of the Slytherin crest. And a huge cake that had to be at least six feet tall. The room was full of Slytherins and Ravenclaws, with only a few Hufflepuffs floating around. Ginny was the only Gryffindor in the room

She scanned the room and finally found Draco who even though this was his birthday party, was off to himself in a plushy armchair, sipping what looked like fire whiskey. Ginny took a breath and walked over to him.

When she got in front of him Draco glanced up from staring at his glass. He looked bored and broody. He looked at Ginny and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Happy Birthday, Drayke." said Ginny, almost in a whisper.

"You actually came." said Draco, drinking the last of what was in his glass.

"Of course I came." said Ginny as if the thought of her not showing up was ridiculous. "I haven't missed a birthday since you turned 13, remember?"

Draco nodded. "That's true."

Ginny and Draco stared awkwardly at each other. It was very unnerving and uncomfortable. They were friends for crying out loud. Why did it feel this way?

"I think we need to talk. Actually, we have needed to for a long time." said Ginny.

Draco sighed. "Come on." he said, getting up and taking her by the hand. They walked out of the party and around the corner so no one could hear.

"Draco? Draco, what happened? Why won't you talk to me anymore?" asked Ginny.

"Did we come out here for you to ask stupid questions that you should already know the answers to?" asked Draco, leaning against the wall, crossing his arms.

Ginny looked bewildered. "What are you talking about? I don't know why-"

"Potter, Ginny? Of all the prats in this school you go for Potter?"

Ginny's mouth flew open. "Are you kidding me? You're not talking to me because I'm dating Harry?!"

"I listened to you cry over that prick for years Gin, years! How he didn't notice you and when he did, he treated you like a fucking sister!"

"He notices me now..." said Ginny, quietly.

"Ohhh yes. Now! You have to wait for him to open his eyes? And you fell right into his lap!"

"Why are you yelling at me? You knew I've been wanting this for a long time!"

"You said you was over that prat!"

"I thought I was but I'm not, okay? Why can't you just be happy for me?"

Draco felt like he had been slapped in the face. "Happy? Happy?! I've been right here in your face for years! Been there for you when all those gits did you wrong. I was there for you anytime you needed me. I have done everything I could for you and it's still not good enough!"

"That's not true Draco Malfoy! You know I have always appreciated you and everything you've done for me!" yelled Ginny.

"Have you really? If that's the fucking case why? Why not ever me? You act as if I'm beneath you or some shit. Like you're too good to be with me!"

"Bullshit! It isn't like that at all, Drayke! You have known that we couldn't ever go there. Your father, my family? They would have our heads!"

"I've never cared about that, Gin! What the fuck do I care what my father thinks?! This isn't a game! I would give up every fucking penny that is to be handed down to me by the fool just to be with you!"

Ginny looked at Draco, feeling like complete and utter shit. She didn't know what to say or do. She wasn't stupid, she knew that Draco has had feelings for her for years, but she never imagined that they had ran that deep. She had only thought that she was only a mere infatuation, and she didn't want to be that.

But to find out that she was more...she felt awful.

Ginny went over to him and hugged him. "I'm so sorry." she whispered as Draco stood still as a statue.

Draco felt himself melting. All the anger that he had felt towards Ginny had disappeared in an instant. He put his arms around Ginny, hugging her even closer to him. This girl was going to be the absolute death of him, and he was going to allow it.

However, he had to get over this. And he was nowhere near doing that.

"Give me some time, okay?" whispered Draco, looking down at Ginny as she looked up at him. "I just need some time."

Ginny nodded, hating the fact that she felt she was losing her best friend. Draco smiled and pressed his lips against Ginny's.

It felt like electricity was flowing through their lips. Ginny could honestly say that even though the kiss was simple, she had never felt so much emotion from anybody else. She found herself kissing his back, despite everything in her mind telling her that it was wrong.

Draco forced himself to part his lips from Ginny's. A few more seconds, and he would have been finding Potter himself and telling him to fuck off.

"I love you." he whispered as he let go of her. Ginny was left awestruck as she watched Draco walk away from her, tears beginning to fall from her eyes as she touched her lips.
