Recap
Sakura's and Tomoyo's mouth hanged open. Meilin's mouth hanged open too. She just couldn't believe her eyes. Draco, who is sitting beside her asked, "Meilin, what's wrong?"
"I-It is, t-they a-are…" Meilin said with wide eyes.
The four figures looked at Tomoyo, Sakura and Meilin and waved their hands at them.
Chapter 9: Confession of the Snake
Tomoyo, Sakura and Meilin just can't believe their eyes. They stood stilly at their own respectable places with their mouth hanging.
Sakura thought, 'Wha- How did they get here?'
Tomoyo thought, 'Oh my god, this just made my day. I'll be sure to give Eriol a big kiss when this is over.' She squealed happily in her thoughts.
Meanwhile, Meilin thought, 'I'll be sure to kill Syaoran and Eriol for not telling me about this.'
One of the people who just arrived, a 16 years old girl with pigtails asked, "You're not going to stay like that all day, are you?"
"Yeah, we only have two hours, you know?" The pigtail girl's companion said. She had shoulder length, curly hair.
The three teenage sorceresses snapped out of their thoughts and ran as fast as they could towards their friends. Sakura, Meilin and Tomoyo yelled at the same time, "Naoko/ Rika/ Chiharu!"
Chiharu, Naoko and Rika laughed and before they knew it, they were pulled in a big group hug. Takashi, who stood next to Chiharu, was left out though. So, he left the spotlight and went next to Eriol.
"You were left out, huh?" Eriol asked.
"Yeah," Takashi answered. "Girls will be girls."
Eriol just nodded his head at Takashi. Now, the lights had been turned on again in the Big Hall. All the 4 tables for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had been replaced near the wall.
From the staff table, Dumbledore stood up and said, "Students, listen up. As you know, it wouldn't be a birthday party if you couldn't dance so let's have some music." Dumbledore snapped his hand and music was heard.
Now and forever
Until the time is through
So many questions
Deep inside my heart
I can't believe it
I don't know where to start, no baby
Eriol waltz his way towards Tomoyo and kneeled, "May I have this dance, my lady?"
"Yes, you may," Tomoyo answered, blushing.
Eriol's sapphire blue eyes looked at Tomoyo's amethyst eyes with full of love. He then, kissed Tomoyo's hand, like a gentleman would, and lead her to the middle of the room. They began dancing.
Baby, now and forever
Until the time is through
Waiting and never give up my faith in you
Everyone just watched as Eriol and Tomoyo danced. Right now, Sakura, Meilin, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko and Takashi are at the Gryffindor's side, next to Syaoran and the Golden Trio. Sakura had just introduced her childhood friends to them.
"I still don't understand how you could see Hogwarts." Hermione said.
Chiharu giggled, "It's simple, really."
Naoko continued, smiling, "We too, have powers, you know."
Rika added in, "Just not as much as Sakura's, Meilin's, Tomoyo's and even Syaoran's and Eriol's."
"Who would have thought that this evening will turn out like this?" Ron said, looking at the dancing Eriol and Tomoyo.
Sakura giggled, "Are you jealous?" She asked. Ron's ears turned red in colour. Sakura just smiled.
Syaoran, who was standing next to Sakura, said, "Ying Fa, will you do me the honor and dance with me?" He asked, holding Sakura's hand.
"Yes," Sakura answered and Syaoran lead Sakura to where Eriol and Tomoyo are dancing.
Without your love I'd be half a man
Maybe one day, you will understand
Now and forever, until the time is through
I'll be waiting…
At the side, Hermione, Ron, Harry and Takashi are eating while Chiharu, Naoko and Rika are busy talking to Meilin so that they could catch up with each other. Since Meilin are looking at her three childhood friends, her back is towards Harry.
'Harry, stop staring at Meilin's back,' he said to himself. Harry shook his head.
Hermione asked, "Harry, what are you doing?" Ron stopped eating and looked at his mate.
"Uh, nothing," Harry quickly answered, blushing a little
"You like her, right?" Takashi said and that made Harry blush even more. Hermione just shook her head and act like she didn'thear anything and Ron looked as confuse as ever.
Chiharu, Rika and Naoko saw Harry staring at Meilin and they knew right away that Harry liked Meilin. And from what Sakura and Tomoyo told them, Meilin liked Harry too.
"Uh, Meilin, could you excuse me for awhile." Rika said. "I want to get something to eat."
Meilin nodded her head and Rika went to where the Golden Trios and Takashi are eating. She took a little bit of pastries. She went next to Harry, "Why don't you ask her for a dance?" She muttered so that only Harry could hear her.
"What…" Harry was about to say but Rika has already went back to where Meilin and the other two are talking.
What Rika said played in Harry's mind. After a minute, Harry walked over to where Meilin is and asked, well stuttered, "M-Meilin, d-do you w-want to d-dance?"
Meilin thought about it for a moment.
When Meilin didn't answer him right away, he said, "I know you're still mad at me about Malfoy but…"
"I'll go dancing with you." Meilin answered but it is not the gentle voice that he usually talks too. This is more hard and cold.
Harry let out a deep breath and they went to the dance middle of the Hall. They began dancing and soon, others follow suit with their partners.
How can I tell you so that you can see
Love has a meaning
When you are here with me
(When you are here with me)
"Meilin, I'm…" Harry couldn't finish what he's going to say because Meilin cut in.
"It's not me you should be apologizing to." Meilin said, still using her cold voice.
"Meilin…" Harry said, keeping up with Meilin's pace.
Give me a moment before you go
There's something you ought to know
Baby, now and forever
Until the time is through
I'll be standing here
Draco is standing near the Entrance to the Great Hall.
"H-Hello, M-Malfoy," A voice said.
Draco turned to look who it was and surprised to see the petite red-head girl there. Draco asked, "What do you want, Weasley?" It went out rather harsh than was intended.
Ginny looked hurt. She said, "I'm sorry. I don't know what went over me." Ginny turned to leave but was stop when Draco took her hand.
"Ginny, wait," Draco said.
Ginny turned and looked at Draco. "W-What did you called me?" she asked.
"Ginny…I called you Ginny," Draco answered, pulling Ginny nearer to him. Ginny blushed hearing Draco called her by her first name.
Ginny asked, "W-What are you doing, M-Malfoy?"
"Please call me Draco," Draco said, looking in Ginny's eyes.
Without your love I'd be half a man
Maybe one day you will understand
Now and forever
Until the time is through
I'll be waiting
Since everyone else had already started dancing, they didn't notice Draco and Ginny staring in each others eyes.
From their dancing position, Sakura and Tomoyo could see Draco and Ginny. They squealed in their heads.
Sakura sent Tomoyo a telepathic message ./. Tomoyo, did you see Draco and Ginny?.\.
./. Yeah, I did. .\. Tomoyo answered. ./. Do you think Meilin knows? .\.
./.I don't know but I bet she wants to know. .\. Sakura replied.
Tomoyo nodded and she sent Meilin a telepathic message, ./. Mei, look at Draco. .\.
./.Why?.\. Meilin asked.
./. Just look at them. .\. Tomoyo answered.
Meilin sighed and looked at his silver haired best friend. She gasped when she saw Draco and Ginny together.
Harry asked Meilin, shacking her off her excitement, "Meilin, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Meilin replied happily. "Let's just continue dancing."
Harry nodded, confused. One minute Meilin was mad at him and was talking to him with a cold tone. Now she sounds really happy.
Back to Draco and Ginny
"D-Draco…" Ginny said softly but she was once again drifted off in Draco's blue eyes.
Draco, too, was lost in Ginny's green eyes.
There is no one to comfort me
Here in my cold reality
I'm searching for words
What can I say to make you see
"I like you, Ginny." Draco confessed.
"Wha-What?" Ginny said, not believing what she's hearing.
"I-I like you," Draco said, blushing. He kissed her lightly on the lips for just a second.
Ginny looked at Draco and then, ran off.
Draco just stood there, looking at the petite's girl disappearing figure.
Baby now and forever
Until the time is through
I'll be standing here
Waiting and never give up my faith in you
Trying to make it clear
Without your love I'd be half a man
Maybe one day you will understand
Now and forever
Until the time is through
I will be here until the time is through
Draco left the Great Hall and went back to the Slytherin's Common Room.
Sakura, Meilin and Tomoyo saw what happened. Meilin stopped dancing.
"Meilin, what's wrong?" Harry asked.
"Let's go to where Rika and the others are." Meilin said. Not waiting for an answer from Harry, she walked towards her friend.
"Hey, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko, Takashi," she said, "I have to go now so I'm sorry I can't see you off."
"Its okay, Mei," Naoko said. They were in a group hug. Takashi was excluded, of course.
When the group hug was broken, Meilin said to Takashi, "Sayonara, Takashi-san." Meilin said. "I'll miss your lies." Meilin smiled and hugged Takashi for awhile.
When Meilin was about to go, Rika said, "Meilin, wait!"
Meilin turned and looked at Rika, "What is it?" she asked.
Rika took out an envelope and gave it to Meilin. Meilin took it.
"It's my wedding invitation." Rika said, smiling.
Meilin nodded. She gave her friends from Japan one last hug and went out off the Great Hall.
Draco's Room; Slytherin's House
"I thought I'd find you here."
Draco, who is lying down on his bed looked at the doorway, where the voice came from and saw his ruby red-eyed friend.
"Go away, Meilin," Draco said, putting a pillow on top of his face.
"Nope, I'm not going anyway." Meilin said, sitting down on Draco's bed.
Draco waited a couple of minutes for Meilin to leave his room but she just wouldn't budge. Draco sat up straight, "God, you're stubborn, woman." Draco said.
"Not as stubborn as you," Meilin said. She looked at Draco, "Now, tell me what happened with Ginny. Why did she run off?"
"Gee, wouldn't I like to know that myself." Draco said sarcastically.
"Oh, stop being sarcastic and tell me what happened between you that time." Meilin said.
Draco sighed. He knew Meilin wouldn't leave it be so he told her what happened.
FLASHBACK
Draco is standing near the Entrance to the Great Hall.
"H-Hello, M-Malfoy," A voice said.
Draco turned to look who it was and surprised to see the petite red-head girl there. Draco asked, "What do you want, Weasley?" It went out rather harsh than was intended.
Ginny looked hurt. She said, "I'm sorry. I don't know what went over me." Ginny turned to leave but was stop when Draco took her hand.
"Ginny, wait," Draco said.
Ginny turned and looked at Draco. "W-What did you called me?" she asked.
"Ginny…I called you Ginny," Draco answered, pulling Ginny nearer to him. Ginny blushed hearing Draco called her by her first name.
Ginny asked, "W-What are you doing, M-Malfoy?"
"Please call me Draco," Draco said, looking in Ginny's eyes.
They stared in each others eyes. When Ginny realized what she's doing, she said.
"B-But…" Ginny said but was cut in by Draco.
"Are you afraid because I'm a Slytherin?" Draco asked.
"D-Draco…" Ginny said softly but she was once again drifted off in Draco's blue eyes.
Draco, too, was lost in Ginny's green eyes.
"Ginny, there's something I have to confess." Draco said.
"Wh-What is it?" Ginny asked.
"I like you, Ginny." Draco confessed.
"Wha-What?" Ginny said, not believing what she's hearing.
"I-I like you," Draco said, blushing. He kissed her lightly on the lips for just a second.
Ginny looked at Draco, "I-I'm sorry," she said and then, ran off.
Draco just stood there, looking at the petite's girl disappearing figure.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Maybe you shouldn't kiss her, Drake." Meilin said. Draco looked at Meilin and Meilin explained, "Ginny's not like Parkinson, Drake. She's a shy girl. You shouldn't kiss her when there're a lot of people around."
"I know that," Draco said. "But why did she run away. I mean, we were both staring at each other, doesn't she like me?"
"Draco, put yourself in her position for a while, will you." Meilin said. "Ginny is the youngest in her family and she had lots off over-protective brothers and Ron is one of them. And you don't really make a good impression every time you've met the Weasley's, right?"
Draco nodded his head.
Meilin continued on, "Try and think what her brothers would say and so to her if they found out their baby sister, Ginny, is going out with a not just a Slytherin but a Malfoy too."
"But I'm not a Malfoy." Draco said. "For the past years I've known you, my Malfoy side showed lesser and lesser."
"I know that and maybe she knows it too." Meilin said. "But her family doesn't so you have to take it slowly, Drake. Let her know you better. Show a side of you that you showed to only me, Drake, show Ginny that you're Draco and not a Malfoy."
Draco nodded his head and said, "I will, Mei, but right now I've got a lot of things to do."
Back At the Great Hall
Now, the students must return to their dorms and it is also time for Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and Takashi to return to Japan.
Sakura hugged Rika and Tomoyo hugged Chiharu. Naoko shook hands with Hermione and Syaoran and Eriol is saying goodbye to Takashi.
"Sakura, I had a wonderful time tonight." Rika said.
After Sakura and Tomoyo hugged Chiharu, Naoko and Rika and said goodbye to Takashi, the 4 visitors from Japan stood the opposite side of Sakura, Tomoyo and the others.
"Yeah, me too," Chiharu said cheerfully.
"I can't believe I met a real ghost." Naoko said, holding a note pad and a pencil.
Sakura and Tomoyo laughed. "I wish you could stay," Tomoyo said.
"Yeah, me too," Sakura added in.
"Don't worry; we'll see each other again during winter." Rika said.
"It's time to go," Eriol said, taking out the Portkey.
The four visitors nodded their heads at Eriol. They waved their hands at their friends and new friends.
"I wonder why Meilin left early." Harry said.
"It is up to her to tell us, Harry," Eriol said. Eriol, with his hand linking to Tomoyo's, walked off to the Gryffindor's Common Room.
"Good night, guyz," Sakura said as she and Syaoran followed Eriol and Tomoyo.
Ron said, "This day is getting weirder and weirder."
"You said it, mate." Harry said.
Hermione didn't say anything but in her head, she said, 'If only you knew the truth.'
The Golden Trio followed Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo from behind.
