Chapter 7

The next morning Ginny woke up feeling miserable. She lay in bed staring at the ceiling. 'Did Harry really set that up or has Malfoy been messing with her mind this whole time.' She sighed rolling over onto her side. "I'm a fool" she whispered to herself.

Draco paced in his room furious for falling for Potters trick.

"Fucking potter" he muttered angrily. Ginny didn't believe him. Of course this was his luck the minute something good finally entered his life….it was taken away swiftly. He stopped and leaned on his bed post. His head bend he stared at the floor.

"What am I going to do."

Ginny slowly made her way to the shower, and got dressed. 'If Harry really did set that up that just means he's more untrustworthy and mean than she thought. If Draco was lying….she had been fooled into thinking he was a good person.' Ginny pulled on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Brushing her hair and gazing into the mirror she sighed again.

"GINNY!?!?" turning around she saw lavender walking through the door. "Ginny! Hey girl. Hogsmeade today!!!! And I need some new shoes!" she laughed. Ginny forced a smile quickly.

"Oh thank god… I need to get out of here!" she got up and grabbed her cloak. Lavender let out a squeal as she linked arms with Ginny making their way down to the meeting place.

Colin waved franticly as they made their way over to him. "Hey gin"

"Hey Colin, what up?"

"Nothing much I need to get some butterbeer fast!"

"Agreed" Ginny laughed and they moved forward with the crowd making their way to Hogsmeade.

Lavender pranced around in high heels enchanted to sparkle different colors to match the outfit the owner was wearing. "Ginny! Don't you just love these?" she cooed. Ginny nodded feverously.

"Yea I'm dieing, you have to promise you'll let me borrow them some time!!"

"Of course!!!" lavender threw out her hand "tosh darling you know we share closets!" Ginny laughed.

"Just making sure!"

Colin rolled his eyes his head resting on his hand which was propped up on his knee.

"Good you like it can we go now?" he asked impatiently.

"Hun its your fault your only friends are girls!" lavender shook her head as she passed the shoes over the counter to the cashier.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!" he defended. "I'm friends with Harry and Ron and ….and….."

"We prove our point don't we Ginny"

"Yes, yes we do lavender" Ginny laughed whole heartedly as Colin pouted.

Laughing the girls grabbed Colin and busted out of the store heading towards the Hogs head.

Harry Potter looked down the street to see Ginny and her friends on their way towards him. He smiled 'Now's my chance' he stood in their path until Ginny looked up at him, but to his dismay…all joy rushed from her face. "Hey Ginny" he nodded to the others. Ginny's eyes widened and she just froze instantly falling behind her friends.

Ginny didn't know what to do… there was no one in the world she wanted to see less than Harry right now. Before she knew what she was doing she turned and ran down the street in the opposite direction a faint "Got to go" leaving her lips.

Harry watched as she desperately ran fleeing from his presence. Instantly he knew. "Fuck….." he muttered angrily.

Ginny didn't care where she was going but she ran anyway. His face was like a mocking poster of her failure. Or something like that. Why did he always turn up when she didn't want to see him. Turning down an ally she slammed herself against a wall and just focused on her harsh breathing. Leaning her head against the cold brick she closed her eyes and sank to the ground holding her legs close to her . looking up at the sky which was a dull gray she sighed.

" Not the best place to be alone" a calm voice echoed down the ally. Startled Ginny jumped to her feet to see Draco Malfoy leaning against the wall opposite her.

"Why are you here?"

"Young girl running for her life into a dark ally not the best scenario. You shouldn't make a habit out of it… this is the second time …third actually that you've run off and I've found you" he smiled and walked towards her. "Ginny."

"No" she stepped away from him.

"Please." He reached out to hold her wrist. "you know I wasn't really kissing her. I was stunned. I didn't expect it. Think about it….who brought you to the field?"

"I know ….." she sighed.

"you do?" his voice filled with hope.

"yes I do….but I just I don't know…." She shook her head and looked at the ground. "Why does he want to do that to me? Hasn't he had enough" Draco's expression changed more determined, He reached up to her chin and lifted it to him.

"It doesn't matter. Please …. Are we ok?" he looked into her eyes making her feel useless against him.

"yes…I guess we are" All she could do was smile when his face lit up. He leaned down pressing his lips against hers firmly. Regretfully he pulled away and looked into her eyes.

"So does this mean we are going steady?" she laughed.

"Yes I suppose it does" Ginny giggled foolishly and smiled at him.

"May I escort you back to your friends?"

"Oh how proper" Ginny joked. Malfoy smiled and held his arm. Ginny linked her arm to his and they began walking out of the ally.

"Where to m'Lady?"

" To hogs head. I believe my friends are waiting for me there" Draco nodded and walked towards the pub.

Upon entering Hogs head EVERY head in the place turned to look at the forbidden couple. 'No one had seen them together yet' Ginny remembered looking up at Draco she expected him to bolt to save his name ' he had said it would be smart to keep their relationship a secret.' Ginny smiled at his fearlessness. Walking towards Lavender and Colin whispers began to flood the pub. When Lavender finally spotted Ginny her jaw crashed onto the table, Colin's was soon to follow. Once they reached the table Draco held her hand as she sat down then leaned down to kiss it lightly whispering.

"That will give them something to talk about now wont it?" he smirked , nodding to her friends he turned heel and left the place. It wasn't 3 seconds later that Lavender and Colin regained their voices and began pummeling her with questions. Ginny smiled as her friends drilled her.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"MALFOY…..WHAT MALFOY?"

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"

"MALFOY!"

"GUYS!!!!" Ginny held her hands up to silence them. "Ill explain everything to you. But could you keep it down. He just created a whole stir in here and everyone's listening come on?!" She looked down at the Weasley ear close to her foot which she stomped on quickly. Lavender was the first one to speak.

"What …..was….that?!" she stammered.

"That was my boyfriend."

"WHAT ??!!?!" they screamed in unison. The Pub turned to their booth again.

"Shhhhh guys!!" Ginny hushed.

"When?"

"What?"

"How?!"

"CALM DOWN" Ginny grabbed their hands pulled them out of the booth and out of the pub. They made their way down the street.

"So tell us" Lavender asked impatiently.

"Yea!" Colin agreed

"well…. It all happened like….."
