Chp. 14- Bowl Me Over

Thanks to everyone that reviewed chapter thirteen! Thanks you all for the suggestions. I decided to go with my idea for this date, and the next group date can be paintballing like Griggsy suggested. I already have my single date idea picked out already! Now enjoy the story!

Last Time:

I grin at him, planting a quick kiss on his lips. I sigh with satisfaction after I pull back.

"I'll see you later."

I let myself out of the bathroom and wait for the men to come downstairs. Draco walks past me a minute later, and slaps my bum lightly as he does so. I jump in surprise before laughing softly at this.

After another minute, the four men come downstairs. Ryan, Nick, Jacque, and Harry are going on my group date today. We head out to the limo and settle down in the back. Nick and Ryan sit on either side of me, and as we drive, the five of us make some coversation.

Now:

It takes us almost fifteen minutes to get to our destination, but finally we're pulling up in front of it. Ryan, Nick, and Jacque look confused by the building but Harry shakes his head in amusement. I get out of the limo with help from Nick, and wait for the other men to join me.

Once we're all out, I lead us inside, facing the boys so I can talk to them.

"We're going bowling today...I'm sure most of you have never been, and I must admit that I have never been bowling either. I wanted to try something new, and I thought you men would be up to it."

They nod in agreement as we head up to the counter to get some shoes. I tell the woman behind the counter I need a size eight shoe, and she hands it over before helping the boys. I go slip on my shoes before walking over to the room that holds a multitude of different colored bowling balls.

After trying out different balls, I find a bright pink ball that fits well with my fingers. I must say that I do love the color...It's shiny and fantastic.

Even though I like the color pink, with my skin and hair color, I can't pull it off. I can tell you one thing...Redheads shouldn't wear pink.

The reds and pink clash, and it really doesn't look well together. I sit down and wait while the boys look through the bowling balls. Harry is the first one done, carrying a navy blue ball. He gives me a smile before taking a seat next to me.

He nudges my arm with his own, and I let out a laugh at this.

"So how are you doing so far?"

"Well it's definitely an interesting experience...It's even more daunting than I thought it would be, but I've gotten used to it by now. I barely notice the cameras..."

Which is true...The cameras have been rolling the entire time we've been at the bowling alley and in the limo. I don't even look over at the camera crew, because I've gotten so used to it. I suppose it helps that I was a model so I'm used to being in the spotlight and on camera in the first place. The only thing that is different is the fact that this show is going to be broadcasted worldwide to wizards.

Harry and I watch together as the other men slowly make their way over to our lane. Finally they're all seated, and I tell Harry to go first because I happen to know he knows how to play. He enters in all of our names before throwing the ball down the lane.

He knocks all the pins down! I start applauding, thoroughly impressed and intrigued. I never knew Harry was good at bowling...

Hell I never even knew what bowling was up until about six months ago. Having a father that was fascinated with muggles and their gadgets and gizmos, was really helpful especially during Muggle Studies. Dad was constantly tinkering with muggle devices, which was a pet peeve mum had.

Even though dad loved muggle things, I never knew about bowling until Hermione brought the subject up one day out of the blue.

I'm the second one up to bowl, and let me just say that I should definitely never join a bowling team or play for anything other than fun. I get a gutter ball, and almost die from embarrassment. Harry just went before me and knocked down all the pins, and I couldn't get a single one. The boys console me, and Harry tells me I get one more throw before my turn is over. I nod my head, and grab my ball when it comes out of this machine.

This time I manage to knock two pins down, which is an improvement. Jacque is next, and he manages to get one pin down the first time and two more after that. The other two men go, and they do just slightly better than I did. We're all close in score except for Harry, which is understandable. Harry goes again and he hits seven pins down the first time before knocking the remaining three down the second throw.

I stand up, prepared to do better than before, which is easier said than done. I knock one pin down. I wait for my ball, and I jump slightly when I hear Harry speak next to me.

"You're posture and angle you're throwing at is wrong Ginny...I can help you get more pins down if you would like."

I nod in agreement, and once I have my ball, Harry stands behind me and helps me get the technique of throwing the ball correctly down. Finally he steps back and I do as he says, throwing the ball this time. It goes right down the middle, and surprisingly, it takes down all the pins with it. I scream happily before turning around to hug Harry tightly.

The men all applaud and whistle, stomping their feet. I pull away with Harry and give him a smile.

"Thanks Harry."

He smiles back at me and we take our seats again.

The two bowling games we play go by quickly with me coming in second both times. Harry, of course, wins them both. No surprise there.

Finally after spending almost two hours at the bowling alley, we're back off to the men's mansion. We all discuss Quidditch, and Harry and Ryan get into an argument over who they think the best team is. Harry says Puddlemere United while Ryan thinks the Tusthill Tornados are the best. I roll my eyes at their rather pointless argument.

The ride seems short, and before I know it, we're stopped outside the mansion. I follow the boys out of the limo and hug each one goodbye. I wait till they're inside before getting back into the limo. As we're pulling away from the mansion, I happen to look up and see Draco standing in one of the windows. I roll the window down quickly to make sure he sees me.

He does...He grins at me before waving.

I wave back, grinning like an utter fool. He keeps getting farther and farther away till I can't see him, yet when I close my eyes, I can still picture him perfectly. I keep my eyes closed the entire ride so I can keep Draco's lovely face in my mind.

I only open my eyes when we come to a stop outside my house. Slowly I make my way upstairs, slipping into a tanktop and shorts. I fall down on my bed, and daydream about Draco.

Our encounter today was absolutely amazing...He can definitely get me aroused, that is for certain. I don't think I've ever been so aroused or lustful towards a man in my entire life by just snogging with him.

Which is why I conclude that I have, indeed for a fact, started to fall for Draco Malfoy.

So what did you all think? The next chapter is Ginny's second single date, and as I said in my first author's note, I already have my idea picked out. Please leave a review, telling me what you thought of it. If you guys want a certain activity for a date, don't hesitate to suggest it. I'm running out of ideas, and I'd be glad to look over your suggestions.
