Chapter 3: Almost
"Professor McGonagall," Ron started hesitantly.
She looked up from behind her spectacles, "Yes Weasley?"
"Um, was Ginny in Transfiguration today?" He asked, shifting from foot to foot.
"No she wasn't, Ron- Is she ill?" She asked.
Ron shrugged, "She was in the Geat Hall during breakfast... She looked fine to me, but she stormed off for no apparent reason... So I'm trying to find out where she is..."
"I'm sorry Ron, but I don't know where she is. If you don't find her by dinner, notify me at once," Professor McGonagall said.
Ron nodded, "Okay." Then he moped away to his seat next to Harry.
"Anything?" Harry muttered from the side of his mouth. Professor McGonagall had already started the lesson.
"Nothing," Ron replied.
"I saw her go down the hall that Malfoy likes to hang out all the time," Hermione whispered from behind them.
Ron whirled at her, "Why didn't you tell us this before?" He demanded.
Hermione shrugged, "I thought that I was probably just seeing things since Ginny likes to steer clear away from him. Besides she was walking far to quickly for me to be sure," Hermione said hastily when Ron opened his mouth to argue.
Harry nudged Ron to turn around because Professor McGonagall was glaring at him.
After she looked away, Ron sighed and slumped in his chair. He didn't know what he was going to do if he couldn't find Ginny...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco glanced over at Ginny in annoyance. She was making these weird choking, scared noise. It was getting on his nerves. He was about to tell her to shut up when he glanced up and saw what she had been blabbering about.
"Weasley! You stupid witch! Get out of the way!" Draco yelled.
The little brat didn't move. She seemed paralyzed by the peeling crack that was fastly getting bigger by the second. It was actually dangling 100 feet in the air, and only a few pieces of chipping stone was holding it there. It seemed like hours before finally you heard a snap and a block, the size of a boulder fell, hurling down at Ginny.
Ginny screamed.
Draco stared at her and back up to the boulder that was getting closer and closer. He seemed to think for a mila-second then groaned and rolled his eyes as he pushed Ginny out of the way onto the floor. They rolled together and finally they stopped with him on top of her.
They locked eyes and didn't break the contact till'-
BANG!
They glanced to the side, and saw that part of the celing had fallen to the very spot that Ginny had been sitting.
Ginny seemed to regain her senses when she screeched, "Malfoy what the hell do you think you're you doing?!" She pushed at his shoulders.
Malfoy quickly got off and stood up brushing off his robes muttering, "I thought I was saving your life."
"Saving my life?" Ginny asked. She laughed, sitting up. "From what? THAT?" She asked, indignantly. "Malfoy, I can take care of myself."
"Yes, well, why don't we try it again, shall we? And this time I won't save you," Malfoy said crossing his arms and smirking.
"And even if you DID save me- What for?" Ginny asked, scowling as she got up and limped over to a desk where she collapsed onto a chair.
"The same thing crossed my mind," Draco drawled. "I just didn't want to be blamed for PURPOSELY making the celing fall off, as your stupid brother would assume when he found you crushed."
"And how do I know that you didn't make the ceiling purposely fall?" Ginny asked.
"How do you know that I did?" Malfoy asked, his voice low and menacing.
Ginny suddenly got tense. It never occurred to her that she was in the room with Malfoy. Well, yes, she KNEW that he was there- But it didn't sink in all the way that THE Draco Malfoy was in the same room with her. She had heard about all the violence that went on when he entered a room. There had been several fights between Harry, Ron, and Malfoy this year... And he had never hid the fact that he hated all Weasleys... ALL of them...
Ginny suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine...
She couldn't understand it since she was actually sweating. And no one sweats in Snape's dungeons... They're too cold... She sighed and took off her robe revealing her Muggle clothes of jeans and a t-shirt. Being the only girl in the family, she was very glad that she didn't have to wear any hand-me-down clothes.
She crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes. She wanted to fall asleep but how could she when someone like Malfoy was glaring at you from Snape's desk. She opened one eye and glanced wearily at Draco. He sneered at her.
She sat up, "Do you mind?"
Draco raised an eyebrow at her amusingly, he crossed his arms but was silent.
"I'm trying to get some sleep," Ginny announced. "But I can't sleep with you glaring at me like that."
Draco snorted, "And you really think that I care for your little problem?"
"Well you should since you're involved," Ginny said sharply.
Draco smirked, "Well let's just put it this way- I don't."
"Why do you always have to be an ass about everything?" Ginny asked exasperatedely.
"Why do you always order people around just for your comfort?" Draco shot back. "May I remind you who you're talking to here. I'm Draco Malfoy. I don't take orders from nobody."
"Anybody," Ginny corrected.
"Who are you? My mother?" Draco asked.
"No, I'm the tooth fairy," Ginny said rolling her eyes.
Draco frowned.
"Its a Muggle thing," Ginny explained.
"Right," Draco replied rolling his eyes.
Ginny sighed. They were getting no where. "Fine. Glare at me all you like- I'm going to sleep."
"Are you sure that you trust me not to do anything while you're sleeping?" Draco asked, arching one eyebrow.
Ginny couldn't help the thought of thinking that it made him look sexy. Ew! Ginny, you did not just think that.
"Thanks a lot, Malfoy! Now I'll never sleep!" Ginny shouted.
Malfoy smirked.
Ginny felt like slapping that smirk right off his face but held it in her. She stomped away to a farther- more higher level in the classroom. That way, she was farther away from Malfoy.
"Stupid ass hole git. Has no feelings whatsoever!" She muttered under her breath.
"I can hear you, Weasley!" Draco called up at her, his face twisting into a frown.
"You shouldn't care what I think since I'm a no good, bloody Muggle lover, isn't that right?" Ginny snapped back.
"Y'know Weasley, all this 'I'm a bad girl thing' is not a growing thing on you. Please. Stop it. You're making all the other REAL bad girls look bad," Draco replied.
"Oh, you mean the Slytherin girls? Really, Malfoy- They don't need help from ME to look bad," Ginny said and stomped up higher, to the highest desk and sat in it. It was pretty dusty since no one really sat there often. Ginny took out her wand and did the spell for removing dust and sat down in the chair and lay her head on the desk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hurry up and eat. We need to find Ginny," Ron said, hurriedely to Harry and Hermione.
"Really Ron, I'm sure that she was just feeling ill. There's no need to jump into conclusions," Hermione insisted.
"I asked Emily to check," Ron replied. "She said that she wasn't there."
"Did you check the library?" Hermione asked.
"Not there."
"Hagrid's? You know how she likes-"
"Not there."
"ALL the classr-"
"I'm telling you Hermione she's NOT THERE!" Ron shouted.
"Hey guys," Harry said suddenly. "Did you notice that Malfoy wasn't in Potions? He's not here now either."
"If he did something to her- I swear, he'll pay," Ron said, seething.
"Ron. Please, calm down. She's FINE. She's NO WHERE near that scum bag," Hermione reassured him.
"I'm going to find her," Ron said jumping up and walking out of the Great Hall.
Harry and Hermione looked at eachother then jumped up after him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny softly sighed...
She was in a forest. A magical looking forest with all sorts of beautiful, magnificent creatures peeking out from behind trees and bushes. Harry was with her- and they were HOLDING HANDS! Ginny barely noticed as they walked along the dirt path in- togas? Weren't they the clothing that Muggle Romans used to wear... A long time ago?
Anyway, she and Harry were walking slowly. Then suddenly Harry pulled Ginny towards him and leaned down to kiss her, but then...
His face changed. It sort of popped into the face of another's... Draco Malfoy!
"This is all your fault you know," he said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This is all your fault you know," Ron said tersely to Hermione.
"MY fault?" Hermione asked. "How is getting us lost in Hogwarts- And just about to miss Herbology- MY fault?"
"If it weren't for you- Ginny would be in the Great Hall, where she's supposed to be," Ron replied.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I just didn't think it could be her going down the HALL!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Yeah, well- You thought wrong. Now we're lost from trying to look for Ginny who has disappeared all because of YOU," Ron said.
"Ron- This is NOT my fault," Hermione said. "You can't blame me for everything that goes wrong."
"But its all your fault," Ron insisted.
"No it isn't."
"Yeah it is."
"No it isn't."
"Yeah it is."
"No it-"
"Hey! Is that going to Snape's dungeons?" Harry asked.
Hermione and Ron turned to what he was pointing to.
"Yeah, it is," Ron said.
"So we just turn right and we can make it to Herbology in time!" Hermione said happily.
"But what about Ginny?" Ron asked sulkily.
"Ron, Ginny's a big girl. If she WAS with Malfoy- Which she isn't," Hermione added quickly. "She could take care of herself. She wouldn't let Malfoy do a thing to her. She hates Malfoy's guts. Now, come ON!" Hermione said tugging at his arm. "Let's go Harry!" She called.
Harry nodded then looked back at the stairs leading to Snape's dungeons... He stared at it for a long time. Then he shrugged and followed Hermione and Ron.
A/N: Ugh! Are they EVER going to find her or is Ginny going to have to spend the night in the same room with Draco Malfoy?! Find out in the next chapter! And tell me who you want Ginny to end up with. Draco or Harry. I think Draco's winning my 2.....
