Okay peeps, here's chapter 7!!!! I know some of you were a bit disappointed that I didn't write more about the whole Draco/Padma thing in the last chapter, but I wanted to do more concentrating on the relationship developing between Draco and Ginny. Also, I realized I'd been skimping a bit on the pen pal letters, writing more of the letters from other people. But this chapter WILL have a fair amount of Draco/Padma in it, so sit down, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!
Padma,
I have to cancel tonight. I'm swamped with homework! How about we meet Saturday at ten? Don't worry about bringing anything, I'll handle it.
-Draco
Draco,
I can't Saturday, I'm tutoring one of the kids in my house, and then I have to help Professor Flitwick get together his next lesson for the third years as an extra credit project. How about Sunday?
-Padma
Padma,
Can't, I have Quidditch practice. Have to run the team through their paces or we won't have a chance at the Quidditch Cup this year. Then I'm helping Snape set up the ingredients for the first years. They're trying a difficult potion and he is pretty much certain they're going to mess it up! We have to charm, every inch of the dungeon!
I guess we'll just have to cancel for this week.
-Draco
Draco,
Fine, I'll see you Monday in Herbology I suppose.
-Padma
Hi Journal,
You'll NEVER guess what I just found out! You know how I told you about Draco being in love with his mirror, well he just told me that he named it MIRANDA, which means BEAUTIFUL or ADMIRABLE!!!! Don't you get it journal? My middle is Belle, which means BEAUTIFUL!!!! Maybe there is hope for us yet!!!!
… Oh God, I'm obsessing again, aren't I? DAMN! I promised myself I would never do this again after I finally got over Harry! Somebody just kill me…
I need professional help.
-Ginny
Dear G,
You okay pen pal? It's been close to a week, why haven't you written back? Did I upset you? If it was the stuff about the mirror, I was only joking. Come on, tell me what's up!
Write back.
-D
Hi D,
Yeah I'm fine, just been a bit under the weather lately, that's all. So how are things going with you? Anything interesting happening? I'd tell you what I've been doing, but I live an EXTREMELY boring life. All I do all day is go to class, write notes to my friends, and eat. Sometimes I can't around to the sleeping part, but usually I've been passing so many notes in class that I have a ton of homework.
I think perhaps if I had something interesting in my life I might not have to spend all my time day dreaming, which makes my best friend send me notes to try to snap me out of it. You know, it's sad. I think I spend more time talking to her through notes than I do by actually talking.
Well, I'm going to go and be bored.
-G
Dear G,
Aren't I interesting enough for you? I'm offended! Here I am, incredibly handsome, smart, witty, adventurous… The list just keeps going! Well, I guess I'll go than! Humph!
-D
P.s.-::wink::
Draco,
Darling, I need to see you! I just can't take much more of this! I need to feel your lips on mine, to feel your hands roaming my body. I get hot just thinking about you, and I can't stand this yearning anymore! So meet me in the usual place. I don't care if you have a thousand detentions! If you don't show up, I'll track you down and tear your clothes off the second I find you – regardless of where you might be!
I'll be waiting.
-Padma
Padma,
Though your threat IS tempting, I'll be there. Oh, and wear the little blue number under your robes, you know how I love it!
-Draco
Hi D,
Of course you're interesting! Right now you're the shinning star in my life! But if I may just point out one thing, the part about you being handsome… well, it doesn't really affect me because I've never seen what you look like!
Anyways, no use making a fuss over it, you big baby! And you never did tell me if anything interesting is going on with you right now. So spill!
Later.
-G
Hi Journal,
I think I can officially say that he's flirting with me!!!! Oh glory days!!! Now I just have to figure out how to get the ::shudder:: girlfriend out of the picture! But it might not be too hard. I mean, if he's flirting with me, maybe he's loosing interest in his girlfriend…
You know something journal (this has nothing to do with what I was just writing) I've been say - no scratch that – writing the word "interesting" a lot! Isn't that interesting?
Ahhhhhh, I did it again!
I think I'm acting even stranger with this crush than I was when I liked Harry! I'll leave you in peace now.
-Ginny
Dear G,
Not a lot happening in my life. The only things keeping it from being dull - we've been saying interesting too much, have you noticed that? - are your letters, and my girlfriend! And boy is she keeping it exciting! I suppose it'd be rude to ask how far you've gone with a guy, but let me tell you, she takes things farther than most people would think possible! Woo Hoo!
You know, I probably shouldn't be telling you that. Aw, but who cares? You're cool with me talking about my sex life right? Great! The only down side to this whole relationship is we don't have much to talk about. We have different friends; though we run in similar social groups, we both like different things, and while I like the fact that she actually has some brains, I just can't relate to her way of thinking. Oh well, the physical part is good, but I can't see us lasting much longer.
Well, I should go. (My girlfriend is starting to get jealous of the letters I write to you. She's complaining I spend more time writing to you than I do being with her.)
-D
Journal,
I don't know whether to cry or laugh. I just found out he's having sex with his girlfriend, and apparently she's great in bed. But he also told me that he can't see this relationship lasting, and that I'm one of the best parts of his life right now. Unfortunately his girlfriend is the other good part. Then he said that they don't have a lot to talk about, which is the exact opposite for us. I mean we're writing each other at least twice a week right now, sometimes as much as four times! But all things considered, even if I ever did get him, I would seem completely pathetic compared to this girl he's seeing. Hell, I've never even kissed a guy!!!!
As I mention a lot. Life sucks!
-Ginny
Okay, so how many of you want to kill me, and how many want to let me live so I can finish the story? Let me live? Raise your hand. Kill me? Raise your hand. Uh huh, I think I'd better start running. ::Dazma takes off down the hall:: Remember to review!
Special author's note- I GOT ONE HUNDRED REVIEWS!!!!! ::kisses reviewers:: I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! As a special treat, I'm thinking of throwing in another twist next chapter… or maybe I'll finally break up Padma and Draco… or maybe I'll have some real action between Draco and Ginny… or maybe… okay, I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, but I'll think of something good! Toddles!
