Chapter 2: Changes
It was 7:10. Draco knew Ginny and her freak friend whatever her name was were going to be in the bathroom by 7. He was still confused as to why they would choose a girls lavatory for studying, but hey, if he could get Ginny alone there to talk to her, it'd be worth it. He didn't know exactly what to say. But he felt that he just had to see those wonderful chocolate eyes again and those soft pink lips. Wait, are you saying you're actually attraced to a Weasley? Draco thought. Anyway, he would have to think his emotions over, if Pansy would ever give him a moment's peace. But, noooo, she'd never shut up anytime soon, or else maybe he could slip out of this hellhole. But no, once Pansy started, she wasn't going to stop.
"And then she said, 'But Ron, I only made a 99 when I could have made a 100.' And then he goes all gruffly, 'Its one point, dear.' Dear? Who says dear anymore? And then Potter butts in and.Drakie are you listening?"
"So you finally caught on, did you?" Draco mumbled sarcastically.
"Drakie-"
"It's Draco. Say it with me, Dra-co."
"Okay, DRAAACOOO, what's gotten in to you these days? You're always lost, and we never go out, and you never listen to me!" Pansy said scowling, making her look even more like a pug, if that was possible.
"Pansy, we never went out for one thing. I never listen to you, for another. And I'm not lost. I ALWAYS wind up in this hell." But Draco knew he was denying the truth. He was lost. But if Pansy were to ever find out, his reputation would go SPLAT! After all, everyone knew to keep their mouths shut in front of her. Whatever was spoken around Pansy was always in Hogwarts's rumor mill the next day. He couldn't tell her this, it was too hot to keep cold. The fact was that he didn't know what to think about Wea- Ginny anymore. Pansy was about to start speaking again when Draco quickly said "Gotta go!" And with that, he ran out of the Slytherin common room as fast as possible. He quickly reached the second corridor girls' bathroom that no one went into because it was always overflowed and dirty. However, as soon as he was about to pull the door open, it slammed right in his face.
He heard laughs. Ginny was laughing. At him. A Weasley was laughing at a Malfoy! This was most unheard of!
"If you had any manners, G-Wealey, you'd help me up!" Draco said, getting up and flicking a speck of dust of his starched black robes, while hoping against hope that she didn't notice his slip.
"Bit rich coming from you, Malfoy," Ginny said while trying to suppress her laughs because a bruise was forming on his aristocratic nose. "Anyway, what were you doing trying to go into a girls' lavatory. Have you no self-respect? If you need to use the loo so badly, the men's is right down the corridor." Draco stared dumbly. "Well? Get out of here!"
"Ginny, I need to tell you something," Draco said bravely. Ginny thought she had heard wrong. Did he call her Ginny? Draco suddenly felt a burst of emotion in him. He wanted so desperately to kiss her. He was leaning down, his lips almost touching hers. Ginny let out a gasp of surprise.
"Ginny?" Becca called from the corner. Ginny and Draco jumped apart. He quickly hid in an empty classroom.
"Hey, Becca. Took you long enough." Ginny sounded almost relieved. "I'll be back in a second." Becca went in, but Ginny stayed out.
"Draco?" Ginny called into the classroom. There was no one there.
End it here? No.not so evil ; )
***
A big red T. He couldn't believe he had gotten a T for Troll.
Draco didn't even think there was a T in the Hogwarts grading system.
But McGonagall had enlightened him. He took a peek at Potter's paper.
It had an E on it for Exceeds Expectations. (A/N: In case you forgot
the grading system: O for Outstanding, E, A for Acceptable, P for
Poor, D for Dreadful, and, according to George, a T.) At least Potter
hadn't gotten the highest. Draco also dared to look at Ginny's paper.
She had gotten an O! An O! She caught him looking and quickly turned
away, apparently trying to forget what happened last night, hiding her
paper. At the end of class, in which he was yelled at several times
for "wandering" (he was only thinking about what exactly HAD happened
last night) Draco headed to lunch.
I think I'll end here. Or maybe not, I'm not that evil! ; )
***
"I know where you were last night," Pansy said dangerously
that dinner. Ginny pretended to think.
"Hmmm...can you give me the specific time?"
"I'm not here to play games, Weasel. I'm here to warn you. If
you ever put your filthy hands anywhere near Draco, I'll personally
have you- "Ginny looked quite calm for someone in her position.
"So you finally settled down with just one boyfriend? That's
surprising! Are you sure you're not two-timing Malfoy too, you sick
whore? And FYI, I was not with Malfoy, because you know what, I could
think of a million things to do besides be near that insufferable git!
Ouch! Draco thought. Pansy just got snubbed. And by Ginny?
Wow! I'm impressed! But wait, she insulted me too! Never mind, not
impressed.
Draco saw Ginny skip dinner. He quickly conjured a white rose
and hid it within his robes.
"I'm sorry," he said behind Ginny. She wheeled around, and was
she angry!
"Sorry?" she roared. "Sorry? For what? For trying to humiliate
me last night with a fake kiss? Playing with my emotions? Spreading
rumors about me? I knew you were an untrustworthy bastard! You're a
filthy Death Eater, what more can-"
"Shut up!" Draco said dangerously. "I am not like my father,
and you have no right to call me that. Don't you ever call me that,
you understand? Cuss out at me, call me anything, but don't call me
that. You want proof?" Draco rose up his sleeves in anger. "I was
never a Death Eater." Draco rushed up the staircase, his robes
billowing behind him. Ginny noticed the white rose lying on the floor
with the sorry note attached to it. A tear rolled down her cheek. Had
Draco really changed? No, she decided. He wasn't a death eater, that
was proven. But he was still the insufferable arrogant git he always
was. But had she known that it was his first time apologizing to
anyone she might have thought differently.
A/N: But I am this evil! I'll end it here. As you can see, Draco is
MAYBE starting to fall. Ohh, I'm so tired Zzzz.. Too much skool work!
Ill Update soon! I think Draco's a little OOC, but that's okay, cuz I
prefer him this way. And now for reader responses!! Okay, for those
girlie fans out there who didn't notice, I TOOK OUT THE SLAPPING
SCENE!!! YAY!!!!!! Cheers. Sry I had it in the first place. Well Ive
got my idea for chappie 3. now to write it!
