Chapter 11- How Could You?
DRACO POV
I look up and it is Ginny who has tackled me to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?" I yelled. "I might I ask you the same question. What are you doing going to the Room of Requirement?" "That's none of your business-" "Like hell it isn't!" "Shut up Weasley or someone will hear us." "Me shut up? You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that. We haven't spoken for weeks! And you're still calling me by my surname. Can't you get over it yet? I call you Draco." "Seriously, what is your problem?" "Like you wouldn't know. Isn't it obvious? It's you! You didn't even have the courtesy to tell me what you were doing and I have to come after you. You could have at least owled me; it's not that hard." "Weas-Ginny, you don't understand. As much as I want to, I can't. It's best that I don't tell you, you wouldn't be proud of what I am doing. If you found out then you wouldn't want to be associated with me any longer. I mean who would? It's surprising that you are still my friend." "Why wouldn't I be Draco? I'll always be there for you."
"You do realise that you're still on top of me Ginny?" She turned a shade of red and got off me. "Sorry, I forgot. I was too busy yelling at you," she says jokingly. But then her faced suddenly turned serious. "What is it Ginny?" "Look Draco, I know you can't tell me but I do want to ask you something. Has it got something to do with the dark side?" She acknowledges my answer by my silence. "Draco, you are not evil alright. I know you aren't. And whatever it is that you are doing, you're being forced to do it. But know that, this isn't you. I know there is good in you, I just know it. I've seen it. You are a wonderful person you know that? But you can't be that good person because they are holding you back. I've seen you around school looking agitated and nervous as if something bad will happen and I'm pretty sure something will. Draco, we can work through this. I know it." "It's not that simple Ginny. You wouldn't understand." "Stop telling me I don't understand! Help me to then." "I can't Ginny!" I said exasperated and I broke into tears.
GINNY POV
He has reached his breaking point and I know I've pushed him too far. I keep on insisting but I'm just concerned. He keeps telling me that he can't tell me. I need him to tell me, but so far that hasn't worked. He tells me that by the end of this I wouldn't want to be his friend anymore more, but why? Will what he does be that bad? I hope and pray that it won't be.
"I can't Ginny!" he says to me and breaks into tears. He starts crying in his hand and I pull him to me and hold him in my arms. "I'm sorry Draco. I really am. I shouldn't have kept insisting." He is crying into my shirt but I don't care if it gets soaked up, I'll let him cry for as long as he wants. I pull him to a nearby seat and sit down. We both sit down and I put his head on my lap. I stroke his hair softly and gently wipe his tears away. "Don't worry, I'm here." His eyes and mine lock together and the next few words his whispers shock me. "I love you Ginevra Molly Weasley." The next thing I know my lips melt onto his.
DRACO POV
I didn't expect her to act like she did; I thought she would slap me but instead she kissed me. But what did that mean? She is still going out with that Thomas bloke and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be too happy finding out that she kissed me all of a sudden. Her expression changed when she realised what she just did. I get up from her lap and look at her. I then realised what I just said. I just told her that I loved her. She gasps and says, "I'm sorry Draco. I didn't mean to." Tears start to form in her eyes and she gets up to leave. I grab a hold of her but she just says, "Draco please, I need some time to think about this." I let go of her hand and she goes.
GINNY POV
I didn't expect him to say that. I didn't know that he loves me. And I didn't expect for me to kiss him. But what did that leave for both of us? I got myself confused about my feelings for him, and when I kissed him and I think I got him confused. I wasn't supposed to do that, but the question was why did I do that? I think it was a spontaneous reaction because he said that. But did that mean I love him too? I love Dean, I mean after all he is my boyfriend, whereas Draco was not. I really need to think this through, because I don't want to hurt Dean and I don't want to hurt Draco either. I had no idea what I was going to do. Draco just told me that he loved me and there was no playfulness there; he was dead serious. Him telling me that he loves me and me kissing him made our friendship very complicated.
Then suddenly I think, maybe I love him too. However, I'm not quite sure yet about my feelings for him. Yeah, sure we've had a few kisses before we were friends but did that mean anything to me? Did it mean anything to him?
Dean has been an absolutely wonderful to me. Ron isn't quite too happy about it and Harry has been acting weirdly around me as of late. He's had all this time to say if he likes me or not and he just didn't do it. So what I did was move on in my life. If a guy likes you then he will make it happen. He will make the effort. But if he doesn't, forget him and move on. And that's exactly what I did with Harry. He didn't make the effort so why is he acting like this all of a sudden. I was totally smitten for him before, but he didn't take the time to notice.
I am walking around Hogwarts thinking and I decide if my feeling for Draco is true, then I hear giggling and moaning coming from a nearby classroom. I'm curious as to what is going on so I open the door slightly. I cover my mouth so I don't make any noise. I see Dean and Parvati Patil giving themselves to each other. I am in a state of shock that I don't even know what to think. How could he do this to me? How could she do this to me? Parvati is one of my closest friends and she knew that Dean and I are together. I can't really fathom what I am seeing. I never thought that Dean would do such a thing. I thought he was perfect. But I guess I was wrong. Anger slowly builds up in me and I slam open the door. This causes Dean to yell and Parvati shriek.
"How could you do this to me?" I say and slap him with all my might. "Look Ginny I can explain-" "What's there to explain? How you're so sorry that this happened. Or sorry that I caught you? And with one of my closest friends, way to go Thomas; you've got real class don't you? I applaud you, you know? I never knew you could stoop down to this level. And you Parvati, I thought you were my friend, but I guess you are just a slut that would do anything to have sex, even if it means hurting me." "Ginny I,-" "Save your breath. I don't want to hear anything come out of your mouth. You disgust me; the both of you. I thought you were genuine Dean, I really did. But I guess my judgement got the better of me. You were so sweet to me, but it turns out that you are a lying, conniving, backstabbing person. You can rot in hell. I hope you are happy now. You Dean just lost me. I was so good to you. And you Parvati, traitorous bitch. You just lost a friend. I do hope that you don't get pregnant Patil. Because we wouldn't want another you walking around."
I realise that I am crying now and turn to leave. "Ginny, I never meant to hurt you." Dean calls out to me.
"It doesn't matter, because in the end, it hurts just all the same."
Did you LIKE IT?
I hope you liked it just as much as I did.
Don't you just hate Dean right now?
But it had to happen eventually, don't you think?
