Draco stepped into his room, angry and pissed off. He was about to sit down on the bed when he saw Reece sitting there, her dirty blonde hair falling past her shoulders her cheeks no longer tear stained. He slammed the door shut and glared at her.
'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!' he screamed at her. She sighed and walked over to where he was standing and ran a finger down his arm.
'You know exactly what that was.' she said. He pushed her away and she fell onto the bed.
'You're 11 for Merlin's sake. I'm 17, which is a six year age difference. This can't work, it won't work.' he said to her.
'Look I know you are upset and you aren't thinking straight. You'll even wonder why you did this tomorrow.' He said
'No I wont.' said Reece. 'I want to be with you and I know you want to be with me too. I'm fourteen by the way' she said walking over to him again. She said the last bit so quietly he didn't even hear her.
'Just get out of my room now.' he said opened the door waiting for her to leave but she stood in place making no sign to move. He grabbed her arm forcefully and pushed her out of the doorway and dragged her down the stairs.
'Get out. ' he said and pushed her out of the common room and slamming the door behind her.
He heard Reece sobbing against his door calling his name softly. He was so frustrated and angry with her.
Just when he had a chance with Ginny and he blew it just like that. He couldn't believe she kissed that potter.
Ginny sat on her bed tears falling down her cheeks silently. She stared at the door then Harry appeared he looked at her spectacular beauty but he saw she was crying he walked up to her and sat on the bed right beside her.
He touched her cheek gently but she moved away. 'Gin what's wrong?' he asked her edging closer to her.
She shook her head and looked back towards the door. 'Nothing's wrong I'm just tired that's all.'
'Why are you looking at the door?' Harry asked her. She broke her gaze from the door and looked at Harry.
'No reason. Harry I'm really tired can you please leave because I'm going to go to sleep.' she said and stood up opening the door to let him out. He walked out silently.
Ginny sighed as he left. She climbed into her bed and snuggled up under the covers. As soon as her head touched her soft red pillow she instantly fell into a deep slumber.
Draco sat in an armchair facing the fire, his head resting on the back of the chair. His hair was slightly tousled, his finely toned chest was bare and his face was calm.
The portrait of the common room slammed shut waking Draco from his sleep. He looked up at the door to see Amy standing there looking at him sympathetically.
'You look tired. You should go to bed and get some rest.' she said walking over to him. He nodded.
'Yeah I'll go soon I guess.' He said.
'I'm going to stay with Colin until you come up just so you know.' she said and headed up the staircase to the boy's dorm.
Once she was out of sight Draco stood up when he saw 'Oliver Twist' lying on the floor next to the fireplace. He bent and picked it up, glancing at it. He opened it up and looked at the front cover noticed that there was a message written.
D
Thanks for today. I had a really great time. I really hope we could do it again sometime.
G
He held it in his hands and walked slowly over to the bottom of the stairs. He climbed up slowly stopping at the door. He pushed it open quietly and crept in.
He saw Ginny's sleeping figure on the bed closest to the door. He tiptoed over to her and sat down on the edge of her bed and began stroking her hair softly. She stirred slightly but didn't awake from her dreamless sleep.
He tucked a loose strand of red air behind her ear and trailed his pale fingers across her cheek. He had to fight the urge to stop himself from kissing her lips then and there. He bent down and placed a soft, delicate kiss on freckled forehead.
Her eyes fluttered open and she sighed slightly. Her eyes opened wider and she gasped pushing herself up. 'What the hell are you doing here?' she hissed at him.
He jumped back slightly. 'Excuse me you're the one who pulled that prank with potter back there.' He snarled at her. She scowled at him and climbed off her bed.
'Get out of here. I don't want to see your face ever again. Go perv on some eleven year old while you're away.' she said and shoved him.
He scowled at her. 'She kissed me not the other way around. Why won't you believe me?' he asked her angrily.
'Um maybe because you were shirtless and lying on top of an eleven year old girl who's my best friend's sister.' She snapped at him trying to blink away her unshed tears that sat in her eyes.
'Whatever, if you aren't going to believe me then I'm gonna leave.' he said and walked towards the door. She scowled at him, getting back into bed, pulling the covered up around her.
'Leave then. I can't believe I actually spent time with you and wanted to get to know you. I'm the idiot once again.' she hissed at him.
'Yeah you're right, you are an idiot.' he said and with that he left the room, slamming the door behind him. Ginny lay down on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
A week passed and it was Saturday again. she decided to dress in her work uniform at Hogwarts and put her black cloak on overtop to keep her warm, that way she wouldn't waste time changing at the three broomsticks.
She really hoped that today would be more successful then her most recent day at work. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom straight away. She took off her pyjamas and stepped into the shower, turning it on.
Hot water cascaded down her back, refreshing her instantaneously. She smiled as she washed her body and her hair, making her feel cleaner and more refreshed.
The past week had been hell for both her and Draco. They did there best to ignore one another whenever they could but when they did see each other there were rude and sharp to the other.
Draco and Pansy had gotten together and so had Ginny and Harry. Harry was slightly confused but was ecstatic none the les and Pansy was well… just ecstatic.
Ginny wrapped a red towel around her body and a small one around her hair. She dried herself and pulled on her black skirt, green blouse and black high heels.
She dried her hair with her wand. She decided not to bother curling it as she was going to put it in a bun anyway. She sat down on a stool in front of her dresser and began to do her makeup.
She put some pink blusher onto her cheeks, making them warm and rosy coloured. She tabbed on some clear gloss and put green eye shadow on along with black mascara.
She pinned her long hair into a bun at the back of her head and put a fixing charm on so her hair wouldn't become loose.
She stood up and checked herself in the full length mirror getting an approval from the taking mirror. She smiled and grabbed her cloak and pulled it around her shoulders and slung her bag over her right shoulder and hurried down the stairs and out to the main entrance.
Everyone else seemed to have gotten into their carriages already. Filch ticked off her name and se searched for Amy and Colin. She made sure to check the windows as she didn't want a repeat of last weeks journey, especially under the circumstances.
She saw Colin and Amy sitting in carriage near by and hurriedly opened the door. 'Hey guys. Mind if I join you?' she asked them getting in. Colin looked at her as if she were mad.
'Gin you don't have to ask us. You know you are welcome wherever we are.' Colin said moving over so Ginny could sit in between him and Amy.
'So are you working again today, Ginny?' Amy asked her. Ginny sighed and nodded. She didn't particularly want to work every single Hogsmeade trip as it would defeat the point of being allowed out every weekend due to excellent grades.
'Yeah but I really would prefer going around with you guys today. I'm not in the mood for serving people.' she groaned.
'It can't be that bad Gin. We'll come in when you get your break and keep you company. Still, working those long hours must do your feet in.' Colin said sympathetically.
'Thanks guys, you're the best,' she said hugging her two best friends. They hugged her back grinning.
'That's what friends are for.' Amy said. After a while the carriage arrived in Hogsmeade. Amy and Colin said goodbye to Ginny and went off laughing and smiling in the opposite direction Ginny needed to go in.
Ginny sighed again and turned around. She walked along the cobbled stone path and tripped many a time due to her heel heels. Note to self, wear flat sensible shoes and change them at the pub. She thought to herself angrily.
She pulled off her shoes and held them in her left hand and looked around for a small, dark, alley. Once she caught sight of the alley she walked towards it, her feet adjusting to the cold, cobbled, ground.
The alley was cold, dark and damp the only light was a cracked lantern hanging high, the flame flickering in the wind. She was surprised that the flame hadn't gone out.
She pulled her cloak tighter around her as she shivered. She walked as quickly as she could but before she reached the end a group of middle aged men blocked the path. They were obviously drunk as they reeked off alcohol.
'Excuse me please,' she said tried to walk around them but one of the men pushed her back.
'Come have a drink with us and we'll make it worth you're while,' he slurred and she shuddered as the put his hand on her thigh.
'Maybe another time. I have to get to work now. Please could you move?' she asked politely.
The older men looked at each other as if to agree what they should do with her. They nodded to one another and formed a circle around her.
'Not today love, not today.' a man with a stippled chin and dark brown hair which contained a few grey hairs. He gave a crackly laugh and grabbed her from behind, his arms wrapped around her waist. The others grabbed a bit of her and dragged her towards the doorway to which the men had come.
'Get off of her!' a husky, low voice called as a man dressed completely in black ran towards them.
The man with the stippled chin let go of her and all but one of the men stood behind him to back him up. The other man held Ginny securely so she wouldn't escape.
'Make me,' the man challenged and the man smirked in response.
'As you wish. SECTUMSEMPRA!' He yelled and blood spurted from the man, from his chest, his face, his legs, his hands, everywhere.
His army behind me had fled as soon as the words left the man's face. Ginny's saviour muttered a curse which healed up the cuts and replaced the lost blood.
'He'll be knocked out for bit so run before he wakes up. I'm sure you don't want to be hear when he does.' he said and walked over to her. 'Are you hurt anywhere?' he asked her concerned, placing a hand on her shoulder.
She shook her head and smiled gratefully at the man. 'Are you the same guy who kisse-' he cut her off by pressing his lips to her in a similar way to he had last time. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her slender waist.
He pulled away suddenly and kissed her cheek and within a flash her mystery guy had completely and utterly disappeared. She took around everywhere then she saw the stippled chinned man and ran as fast as she could.
She was relieved when she saw the busy town of Hogsmeade which was a welcoming sight. She spotted the three broomsticks sign hanging crookedly from a hook, sticking out from the wall so passers by could see it from a far distance.
She hurried over to the pub and pushed open the squeaky door. Rosmerta looked rushed off her feet behind the bar, shoving money in the till and serving customers. She walked over to the bar.
'I-' Rosmerta didn't give her a chance to finish her explanation to why she was half an hour late.
'Save it. I've been rushed off my feet and had many a people leave to go have a drink at the hogs head so get serving and if you pull another stunt like this you'll be fired on the spot, got it?' she snapped at Ginny.
She nodded in reply and hung up her clock behind the bar and put on her high heels. She grabbed an apron and put it on and walked out and walked over to a table, asking them what they would like.
'How about better service? We should get free drinks as we've been waiting here to be served for over thirty minutes. Care to explain?' the man said snappily. She'd stepped into the pub for five minutes and she was already being criticized.
'Well if you got of your lazy backside and went and ordered at the bar you wouldn't be sitting here taking up space.' she hissed at him. He looked completely taken back by her harsh tone and her harsh words.
'Well I think we'll go somewhere more welcome such as the hogs head, don't you agree Mildred?' he asked a stout, plump woman next to him.
'I agree. Don't expect us to even step into this pub ever again.' she snapped at her and grabbed her coat and put it on heading for the door.
'Good riddance,' she muttered loud enough for him to hear.
He slammed the door on the way out. She looked over at the bar and Rosmerta was glaring daggers at her.
She sighed and looked at the door as Pansy and Draco walked in. Just what I need she thought to herself. She watched them as they sat down in a booth.
Ginny wiped the beads of sweat forming on her forehead and took her pad out of her apron and strutted over to their table confidently, her head held high.
'Can I help you guys?' she asked politely. Under the table Pansy was rubbing Draco's leg with her foot. Ginny scowled at her and looked back up at Draco.
'Two butterbeers and make it quick, some of us have places to go.' he drawled and smirked sexily at Pansy. Ginny's knees almost buckled at the sight of his smirk.
'Right away sir,' she said ran over to the bar and grabbed two bottles of butterbeer turned around to see the two of them snogging.
Her heart fell and she got angrier. He's doing this on purpose. She thought to herself angrily. She walked back over to their booth and slammed their bottles down in front of them.
'That'll be ten sickles,' she snapped and Draco dug into his pocket and pulled out a galleon.
'Keep the change for yourself, you sure need it,' he said smirking and Ginny just glared at him furiously. She walked over to the till and took out the chance from the ten sickles and put into the pocket of her apron.
'Excuse me Rosmerta but I just saw that waitress take money from the till and put it into her apron,' a voice called out, Draco Malfoy's voice.
Rosmerta's face turned a shade of red. 'Empty your pockets,' she snapped and Ginny did so revealing a few sickles. Rosmerta scowled at her.
'Put the money in the till and hand your uniform in, you're fired.' she bellowed and Ginny did so and pulled off her apron and ran from the pub but not before pouring Pansy and Draco's butterbeers over their heads.
Tears trickled down her flushed cheeks as she pulled off her shoes and walked barefoot back to the carriages.
Thanks to everyone that's reveiwed. all reveiws are appriciated
