Chapter 10- Confrontations

Ginny was getting ready to leave her room to head down to breakfast when she heard a knock at her door. "Who is it?" Ginny yelled as she walked over.

"Its Kat." The person on the other side of the door revealed.

Ginny quickly opened up the door, pulled her best friend inside and closed the door behind her. "Morning, Kat?" Ginny said happily as she went over to her couch and sat down.

Kat followed and sat down beside her. "I didn't see you last night, so I thought I would stop by and see if you were alright before I head down to breakfast."

Ginny crossed her legs and smiled broadly. "I'm perfect."

Kat gave her friend a suspicious look and figured that it had to be something about Draco. "Spill it." Kat said quickly to Ginny.

Ginny thought for a second if she should tell her. "She is my best friend. I'm pretty sure I can trust her. And if she betrays me then she will have to suffer the consequences. "Well Draco asked me out the other night."

Kat didn't say a word. She just sat there waiting for more details.

"I spent the night with him last night. That is why you didn't see me around." Ginny said blushing.

Katrina's jaw fell open then she responded. "You mean you two…you know…last night." Katrina asked her friend quietly.

Ginny quickly shook her head. "No, no. I meant that I literally fell asleep with him last night. We were talking and we must have dozed off. Draco woke up at about 3 in the morning and woke me up." She smiled. "I just decided to go back to sleep for a couple hours rather then risk getting caught in the corridors that late."

Katrina gave a sigh of relief. "Oh ok." Katrina then thought about Ron and what he would think about this whole situation. And to be honest Katrina wasn't all that comfortable with it either. It was obvious that Ginny liked him, but she didn't trust Draco. Just like the Weasley children had, Katrina grew up being told that all Malfoy's were bad. So naturally she wouldn't be to comfortable with her best friend now being a Malfoy's girlfriend. She never thought that things would go this far with him. She just figured Ginny would grow out of it and realize what a jerk he was, but she didn't. She knew that Ginny was going to get mad at her for speaking her mind about this, but she wasn't one to just let things slide. She spoke her mind.

"Gin I don't think It's a good idea for you to be with him." Katrina quietly said to her friend.

Ginny quickly got defensive about it. "And why not?" She practically yelled at her friend.

"He's a Malfoy and a Slytherin. You know just as well as I do what a bad combination that is." She quickly stated.

"So what if he is a Malfoy and a Slytherin. Just because of his name and house doesn't mean I cannot like him." Ginny said in anger.

"I didn't say you couldn't like him. I just said you shouldn't go out with him." Katrina sighed. "I mean what will your family think?"

Ginny stood up angry. "They aren't going to think anything, because they aren't going to find out about this just yet." Ginny said as she put her hands on her hips. "Do you hear me, Kat. So don't go running your mouth to Ron about this."

Katrina stood up in front of her friend. "Ginny you know I cannot keep this from your brother."

Ginny shook her head at her friend in disgust. "And here I thought you were my best friend." Ginny stepped forward to her. "If you tell Kat, so help me god you will regret it." Ginny sneered at her. "Now get the hell away from me."

Katrina didn't bother to answer back to Ginny. She couldn't believe the way she was acting. This wasn't the Ginny she had met in her first year. She didn't know this Ginny at all.

Katrina shook her head in disgust at Ginny then turned and walked out leaving Ginny to watch furiously as she Slammed the door behind her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At dinner time Ginny was sitting at the Gryffindor table with Ryan. As of right now Ryan was the only real friend she had left. After what happened this morning with Katrina she wasn't sure if she wanted to still be friends with her or not.

"Ginny, are you alright?" Ryan asked before he took a gulp of his cherry soda.

Ginny quickly snapped her head up at him. "Yes, Ryan I'm fine. Thanks for asking though."

"Alright. You just don't look to good. I thought maybe you weren't feeling well." He said with his voice full of concern.

"Its just been a long day. I'm really tired." Ginny said while picking at her food with her fork.

"Maybe you should just head up to bed then." He looked down at her plate and watched her play with her food. "You don't seem to be all that hungry anyway."

Ginny nodded her head. "I think I will do that." Ginny said standing up. "I'll talk to you in the morning Ryan."

"Ok, Bye Gin." Ryan said then turned to talk to the person next to him.

As Ginny was walking out of the Great Hall Ron was walking in and looked furious. "She told him. I can't believe that little bitch told him!" She screamed inside her head.

"What's this I hear about you and Malfoy. Tell me it's not true." Ron said furiously as he cornered his sister.

"What are you talking about Ron?" Ginny asked trying to play stupid with him. She hoped that it would work, but by the look on her brother's face, she didn't think it would.

"Don't play dumb with me, Virginia." Ron said grabbing hold of his sister's arm. "Katrina told me that you and the ferret are seeing each other."

Ginny quickly pulled her arm away from her brother. "So what if I am." She sneered at him. "I don't think it's any of your damn business." She stated angrily.

Ron grabbed his sister by her shoulders and looked her in her eyes. "None of my business? None of my business!" Ron yelled. "I'm your brother for god sakes. Whatever goes on with you is my business." Ron said not loosening his grip on her.

"Get the hell off of me!" Ginny said furiously as she tried to move free of her brother. "And what I do is none of your business. Your not my protector. So leave me the hell alone!"

"I will not leave you alone." Ron said gripping his sister tighter to the point that he was starting to hurt her.

"Let go of me!" Ginny screamed.

"You heard her Weasel. Let her go!" Draco said from behind him.

Ron gave one last glare at his sister then turned around to met the cold eyes of Draco Malfoy. "This is none of your business Malfoy." Ron spat coldly at him.

"Oh I think it is." Draco said closing the gap between them. "You see, your hurting my girlfriend and I don't like it." Draco sneered at him. "She is a big girl. She doesn't need you breathing down her neck and upsetting her all the time."

"What I do and say to my sister is none of your concern, Malfoy." Ron said glaring at him. "Now go away!"

Draco just stood there staring at him. "I told you Weasel. I'm not going anywhere until you leave your sister alone."

Ron furiously took a swing at Draco's face. Draco quickly ducked out of the way and punch Ron in the stomach.

While Ron was doubled over in pain Draco quickly reached around him and pulled Ginny behind him. He then looked over at Ron who was starting to stand up normally again. "If you ever do that to her again I'll hex you into next week." The he quickly grabbed Ginny's hand and pulled her down the hallway and away from her brother.

As they were walking away they heard Ron scream. "This isn't over. Mark my words…This isn't over!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco quickly pulled Ginny into an empty classroom and closed the door behind them. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Draco asked looking over her body.

"My shoulders hurt a little, but otherwise I'm just upset." She said as she sat down on the desk.

"I hate your brother!" Draco said angrily. "He is such a wanker."

Ginny nodded her head. "You can say that again."

Draco shook his head in disgust. "I mean what kind of man would grab his sister like that?" He asked as he sat down on the desk beside her.

"Ron." She answered flatly. "None of my other brothers have ever tried anything like that with me."

"If I ever see him do that again I think I'll kill him." He clenched his fist into a ball and slammed it down on the desk in anger.

"He is probably running off to Saint Potter and Mudblood Granger right now. Saying how you attacked him and that I took your side over his." She said furiously.

"And I bet that mudblood will be trying to convince them that you are under some spell or something. They are so pathetic." Draco said starting to calm down.

Ginny laughed. "She thinks she knows everything."

Draco nodded. Then stood up. "Gin, I think maybe you should head off to bed before they come looking for you. At least if your upstairs they cannot get into your room."

Ginny nodded her head. "Will you stop by and see me tomorrow?" She asked as she stood up in front of him.

"Of course I will." He said then kissed her on the lips softly.

When they pulled apart Draco walked her over to the door. "I'll come get you before breakfast in the morning." He opened the door to let her go out. "Your password is Romance, right?"

Ginny nodded her head then kissed him on the cheek. "Till morning then. Good night."

"Good night, Gin." Draco said before Ginny walked off down the corridor towards the steps.

Once Ginny was inside her room she got into her pajamas and climbed into bed to get some well needed rest. Today had definitely been a long day for her. First she looses her best friend then she has it out with her brother. "I hope tomorrow is better." She thinks to herself then closes her eyes.
