Chapter 8: Change of Heart (well, sort of)

Draco's POV:
"Malfoy!"

"What?" I asked annoyed that someone had snapped me out of my trance of staring at Ginny. But, it was Ginny herself that had done that.

"What are you doing?" She asked frowning. "You're supposed to be working."

I shrugged, "Don't tell me what to do Weasley."

"Well, then DON'T STARE AT ME LIKE THAT," Ginny said rolling her eyes. "Jeez... You're giving me the creeps."

"I wasn't staring at YOU, Weasley," I said cooly. "I was staring at your enormous ass." (A/N: Do people in England call it arse? Well, whatever, I like ass better.) "It practically takes up your whole body space."

"Bastard," Ginny muttered.

I smirked as I tried to hide a smile. So Ginny had caught me staring... But, I couldn't help it... After the day in the dungeons I had started to notice little things about her. Like the cute way she tucked her hair behind her ears, her bright brown eyes always having something to say, her thin, pink lips... And of course her body... Which I should say was becoming curvier everyday.

Stop it! I cried to myself. Stop thinking about her!

I had never taken my eyes off of her the whole time at the Halloween Ball. She had looked pretty in her green dress robes. And when we had FINALLY practiced for our dueling spells, and when she had beaten me... I had congratulated her...

She was very calm and cool about that day in the dungeons. Neither of us had brought it up... God! I would give anything to know what she had been thinking that day...

Ugh! If I thought about Ginny Weasley one more time I would-

"Malfoy, you are REALLY giving me the creeps," Ginny said, interrupting my thoughts yet again.

"Well, that's because I'm a creepy person Weasley," I replied, hoping that she'd laugh.

She didn't. In reply, she raised an eyebrow.

"What?" I snapped. "Potter can make jokes, but I can't?"

"Yes, Malfoy. And I'm glad that you don't make jokes too often because they are just plain scary," Ginny replied.

"Thanks," I said. "I'll remember that when I become the "Most Comedic Wizard"," I joked.

Ginny snorted, "Right."

"I'm serious! It could happen!" I said, still joking. I was going to make her laugh even if it killed me.

Ginny gave a short giggle, which was good enough to satisfy me. "Get to work," she ordered quickly, trying to hide her laughter. She went back to copying down her final draft of Dumbledore.

I sighed and went back to copying down new dueling spells.

(A/N: I'm sorry to do this but....)

2 months later... (The day before people leave for Christmas Vacation) (A/N: I'M SORRY!!!!!!)


Ginny's POV:
"So where are you going for Christmas?" Draco asked.

"Excuse me, you're talking to me?" I asked.

"Yes, I am talking to you Weasley," Draco replied. "Do you see anyone else here at the library when you're supposed to be exchanging gifts, or packing, or better yet- HAVING FUN?!" Draco asked sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes, "REALLY Malfoy, I just wanted to get some of the project done by Christmas."

"Even the Mud- I mean, er- Granger isn't here!" He said.

"So what?" Ginny asked. "Unlike me, she happens to have a pretty good group. And DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT!" I said whacking the back of his head. (A/N: hehe...for those of you that read Just Friends... Nothing More, notice the whacking of head... Like Mother like daughter...LOL!) "Its a horrible name!"

"Well, sorree," he muttered. "I didn't even say it!" He exclaimed.

"But you were going to," I said.

He rolled his eyes, "I'm really going to need this vacation," he muttered.

"So will I," I muttered.

We glared at eachother.



Draco's POV:
Okay, so in the 2 months, she had gotten VERY annoying. Yes, she was cute when she was annoying or annoyed, but I wasn't enjoying it at the moment. One simple mistake and she had gone crazy at me. She hadn't even answered my question...

"You haven't answered my question," I said quietly.

"So I haven't," she replied.

"Well, where are going for Christmas?" I asked.

"I'm staying here," she replied. "The farther away I'll be from you."

I snorted.

"Ugh!" She cried. She got up and stalked out of the library leaving her bag, books, quills, ink bottles, and parchments.

I opened my mouth to call her back, but she had disappeared...

I groaned, and gathered her stuff together.



Ginny's POV:
"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him," I chanted over and over as I was taking a walk outside. Yes, it was cold, but it felt really good... I needed fresh air... "Why does he have to make it so impossible?" I asked.

*About what?* the voice in my head said (A/N: Ahem, yet again to all of you "Just Friends... Nothing More" readers...Like Father like daughter.)

*What do you think he is making so impossible?* The voice in my head continued.

He's making EVERYTHING impossible, I thought to myself.

*Like what?*

Didn't I just say EVERYTHING? I thought sarcastically.

*I'm mean to be specific.*

What do you care? I thought.

*You DO know that YOU'RE the one that's asking yourself this, right?*

Yesssss....Nooooo.... I thought.

*Sigh... Well, its obvious isn't it? You're just mad at him because you think he's making it impossible for you two to date, when its really you who's making it impossible.*

What do you mean? What are you talking about? I thought. I do NOT like Draco Malfoy. And even if I did... I thought, I wouldn't be the one making it impossible he would.

*Why do you think that?*

Because he's just so... so... ugh! IMPOSSIBLE!

*What are you talking about? Don't tell me that you didn't notice the way he's been staring at you. Or the way he's been acting nice to you all of a sudden...*

Malfoy? Nice? They don't mix, I thought.

*Well, they are. Yes, he hasn't TOTALLY changed, but he IS being nice to you. You have to admit it...*

I won't, I thought stubbornly. Malfoy CAN'T change. He won't change.

*So you're not going to believe that you're in love with him...*

Nope, I thought, And you can't make me.

*Stop referring to me as someone else. Remember, I AM YOU.*

Whatever, I thought. Stop talking to me, you're no help at all.

*What do you mean? I just told you that you're in love with Malfoy, but do you listen? Nooooooo.*

I ignored it. I sighed and shivered. I had stayed outside long enough... Time to go back in...

I walked inside Hogwarts and went to the Gryffindor Tower. I came to the fat lady portrait and saw Malfoy sitting down in front of it. His legs were pulled up to his chest, his arms were crossed, and as always, the same scowl was on his face.

"Finally!" He snapped. "Do you know how long I've been wating for you to get here? I even went through the trouble to ask Granger if you were in there."

"What for?" I asked glaring.

He got up and held up my bag. "Forget something?" He asked sarcastically.

I grabbed it from him. Then after a little thinking I said, "Thank you."

He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets, "Sooo..." he trailed off.

I gave him a pointed look.

"What?" He asked.

"I'd like to go to bed now," I said, gesturing.

"Oh!" He said. He stepped out of the way, "Uhhh... Look Weas- I mean, Ginny," he said quickly.

"Yes?" I asked, slinging my bag on my shoulder.

"I, uh- Well, I hope you have a Merry Christmas," he stammered sheepishly, looking down at his shoes.

"Wuh?" I asked. I quickly corrected myself, "Uh, I mean, uh, you too... Draco..."

He nodded, "Well..."

"Um, yeah, well, goodnight," I said.

"Yeah, goodnight Ginny," he said and walked away.

"Good night," I said under my breath again and turned to the portrait.

The fat lady was crying with a smile. "Ahhh.... Young love, gotta love it..." She sniffled, "Got a tissue?"

"Sorry," I said. "Bludgers," I said, saying the password.

"Well, yes that ORIGINALLY was the password, but your brothers changed it to: Ron and Hermione sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G... But, I'll let you in anyway..." The fat lady said and swung open.

I supressed a giggle, then climbed through the portrait hole. A smile was on my lips as I climbed into the Common Room.

*I told you so.*

Be quiet, I thought and walked up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

*I told you so... You like Draco...*

"Not in a million years," I replied out loud.

*Oh yes you do...*
