Chapter 10: The change
After Draco walked Ginny back to the Hospital Wing -it was around 10h30, half an hour before curfew- and almost had his eardrums split by Madam Pomfrey he walked back to Slytherin's common room. There was someone waiting for him.
"Sorry about earlier." Said 'Blaise'
"Don't worry, mate" Draco fell onto a couch.
"Are you going to pass the night in the Hospital Wing?"
"Yeah. I have to." He didn't have to- he wanted to.
"So, is she in love with you yet?" 'Blaise' asked after a long and awkward silence.
"Don't think so. She considers me more like a friend or a big brother."
"Another one?" 'Blaise' giggled.
Draco gave 'Blaise' a look that clearly said 'Are you a girl, cause you're giggling like one?' and said, "Well I'm off to the Hospital Wing." The blond Slytherin got up and headed to the portrait.
"Can I come?" his friend asked.
"No, you better stay here." Draco really didn't want anyone interrupting his conversations with Ginny.
--
"Hey, Ginny." Draco greeted after reaching her bed.
"Oh, hey, Draco. Are you gonna stay here tonight too?" Ginny smiled at him.
"Yes. If you don't mind that is."
"No, not at all, but aren't you scared?" She didn't know why she asked him that and by the look on his face, neither did he.
"From what?"
"Voldemort possessing me again, six brothers who would beat you up for…well… just for staying with me tonight?"
"I'm not scared of your brothers because I know you and Dumbledore will stick up to me. About Voldemort- there is nothing scary about a half-blood who by chance happened to be the Dark Lord." Instantly his eyes turned from stormy gray to light blue.
"You're lying." She grinned at him. "Your eyes turn blue when you lie."
"Oh, really now?" He asked clearly not believing her.
"Yup. Go see for yourself." The red head gestured the nearest mirror.
Draco rolled his eyes but went to the mirror all the same, "I'm in love with Blaise Zabini." He said and his eyed turned light blue instantly. Shit! She was right! Dammit!
"Wow, didn't knew you weren't in love with him." Ginny giggled.
"Hey! I'm not gay, unlike some people you know."
"Really? Like who?"
"Colin Creevy for example. 'Oh the great Harry Potter! He's so cool! Can I gat your picture Harry!'" He mimicked in a girly voice, "Or maybe Potter himself? Who knows?" he smirked.
"Oh, stop it!" Ginny said annoyed, "Go check the word joking in the dictionary."
At that moment the door flew open to reveal Blaise Zabini, "Hi, Draco. Weaselette."
"What's up Zabini?" Draco hid his annoyance while Ginny nodded her head.
"What time is it?" 'Blaise' asked nervously.
"Two minutes to midnight, why?" Draco furrowed his eyebrows.
"Right. Come here for a second." 'He' pulled the bond Slytherin several beds away form Ginny. Taking a deep breath 'he' said, "I love you, Draco."
"WHAT!!" Draco yelled in shock.
"I'm in love with you. You have to understand, when I…" 'Blaise' started glowing, and then he fell on the floor.
"Bloody Hell, Zabini! I didn't know you were gay." Draco smirked amused.
"Excuse me?" Blaise raised his eyebrows and stood up.
"You just said you were in love with me." Draco rolled his eyes at his friend's stupidity. Blaise's eyes became the size of a house elf.
"DAPHNE GREENGRASS! YOU ARE SO DEAD!" He yelled and ran out of the Hospital.
"What's his deal?" Ginny asked laughing.
"I don't know, but I'll find out soon enough." With that he ran out of the Hospital Wing.
Ginny shook her head and sat back in bed still laughing.
--
"Blaise Zabini you insufferable git! Get off of me!" Draco heard when he entered the common room.
"No way Greengrass! You're coming with me right now!" Barked Blaise.
"OK!OK!" Daphne sat on one of the green couches.
"Explain."
"Explain what?" she looked around and saw Draco, "Hi Draco."
"What did you do in my body?" The dark haired boy was seething.
"I didn't do anything out of the normal…" She started but was cut of by Blaise's voice.
"Anything out of the normal? Anything out of the- BLOODY HELL! You told him," He gestured Draco, "You loved him??"
"Actualy that was you Zabini." He smirked.
"Shut it, Malfoy. That's between me and Greengrass."
Daphne sighed and decided to tell Draco everything, "Okay, I'll tell you everything!"
After Daphne finished her story, Draco looked between them and nodded once, "So, you know about the bet I presume?"
"Yes." Anger flickered trough her eyes for the briefest of moments. She smirked, "You and the Weaselette, eh?"
Her name is Ginny! His mind screamed. "Yes."
"Why did you stay tonight too?" she asked suspiciously.
Draco didn't have the answer himself, so he said the first thing that came to his mind, "To ensure my victory."
--
Draco walked trough the corridors of Hogwarts, thinking. Did Ginny like his as another big brother or just like a friend? Draco grinned at the thought of him, Draco Malfoy Sex God of Hogwarts, as just a friend.
He thought of the bet. Did he really want to cut her off with 'Sorry babe, not my type.'? Images of Ginny's laughing face flashed trough his mind. He really did like to make her laugh. There was something special about her laugh. Something magical. Well duh genius! You're in Hogwarts Anannoying little voice said.
When he neared the Hospital Wing Draco saw that the door was slightly ajar. Has Ginny run away again? The blond pushed the door a bit more, so he could see Ginny's bed. She was there… but she wasn't alone. She was snogging a 7th year Ravenclaw. He knew him from Transfiguration. What was his name again? Ah yes, Brandon Arnolds.
"Stupid git." He muttered and went outside.
A strange feeling was nested in his chest. Was it jealousy? Yes but there was something more to it. He wanted to punch the sodding bastard in the face. However he resisted the urge to walk back there and do it.
Draco hoped a walk around the Lake would help him clear his head.
