Disclaimer: I own nothin' but the plot and anything you don't recognize! I'm sure everyone knows who owns everything else. Needless to say it's JKR.
A/N: I'm going to go back to first person in this chapter. Next one will be first person too but the one after that will be back to third person.
Chapter Twenty
What're They Hiding From Me?
Draco was sent to the Headmaster's office and is getting expelled. I couldn't believe it. It was the one thing I never thought would happen. At first I didn't believe it but by lunch I didn't doubt it. Everyone was talking about it. Rumor had it he tried to kill Pansy Parkinson.
Hermione was the one who told me first but I couldn't help feeling she was hiding something from me. Ron and Harry too. Harry seemed unusually happy today. I wonder what it id they're hiding from me. I just hope it's not about Draco. The last thing I need to hear is he's going off to Azkaban or something like that.
Perhaps I should just head down to the common room and ask them instead of sitting up here wondering. I know they'll be down there playing wizard chess. They always play a game or two between lunch and history of magic now. They'd go to Hogsmeade but don't have enough time.
Why am I thinking of what Harry, Hermione and Ron do when I should be worrying about Draco? If he gets expelled I'll never see him again. His father would probably kill him. What's his father going to do to him when he finds out about us? Maybe I should find some excuse to stop seeing him. I don't want him to get killed.
I look in the mirror and wipe away the few tears that were slowly sliding down my cheeks and tuck my hair behind me ears. I'm going to go talk to my brother and his friends. But what will I say? 'Ron, Harry, Hermione I know you are hiding something from me can you please tell me what it is so I don't drive myself crazy wondering what it could possibly be?' No that sounds stupid. If it was that important they'd tell me wouldn't they? Maybe I'll just ask them about what happened in Potions earlier. They never did tell me what happened. Only that Draco was visiting Dumbledore. Of course I never thought to ask. My friends had told me what they had heard. It all had to be lies. There was no way Draco would pull out his wand and try to murder someone in class or would he?
It sad I can't even figure out what my boyfriend would do. I guess it would help if I knew everything that had happened. I really should go down and talk to them before it's time to go to our next class. I once more tuck my hair behind my ears and head out of my dorm and down the stairs. I walk into the busy common room and spot Ron and Hermione but where's Harry?
I walk over to them and take a seat next to my brother. "Hi Ron. Hi Hermione."
"Hey Gin." Ron muttered seemingly engrossed in his game. He obviously was winning but Hermione didn't seem to care too much. Ron always beat everyone at wizard chess. I wonder if Draco's any good at it?
"Hi Ginny." Hermione said giving me a friendly smile as she moved one of her pieces.
"Can I ask you a question or are you too busy?"
"We're not too busy are we Ron?" Hermione said waiting for an answer from Ron. "Ron!"
"Hmm? Oh of course not." Ron muttered.
"What really happened in Potions today? I keep hearing all of these crazy rumors and I don't think they're true." I said silently adding, "well at least I hope they aren't."
"Nothing much really. I don't know what was said between Draco and Pansy. All I know is Pansy slapped Draco then Draco stood up and said something about 'how dare you slap me' and 'I could kill you right now if I wanted to' or something like that." Hermione said.
I looked to Ron for conformation but just saw that he hadn't shifted his glance from the chessboard to me yet.
"Ron it's just a game." I said.
"No it's not!" He exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever Ron."
He gave me a dirty look then looked back at the board finally moving a piece.
Sometimes I think his love for wizard chess is an obsession.
"You're obsessed Ron."
"No I'm not!" He said indignantly.
Well at least now I know Draco isn't going to go to Azkaban. That was one of my main concerns although I doubted he had done anything to deserve to be sent there. Maybe now I'll be able to concentrate in my next class.

Right after Snape, Draco, and Pansy leave the class. Before Ginny's thoughts up there ^.
I wonder what he's going to do to me. Can't be too serious. I doubt he'll expel me. All I did was tell the bitch I //could// kill her if I wanted to. I didn't mean I was going to kill her. Anyone could kill someone but just because they say they could doesn't mean they will. I just hope that old geezer doesn't try to expel me or really expel me. Don't know what father would do to me if he did. But with all the money father donates to Hogwarts I doubt the old fool would have the guts to expel me and risk losing hundreds of galleons each year. Of course I'm not even sure how much father donates to the school. He does it to keep his perfect reputation of course. I just wish one day someone would come by Malfoy Manor and see who he really is. A man that beats his wife and only son can't be too perfect can he? A man that once broke his son's arm and three ribs can't be close to perfect at all. Though in this day and age I'm counted as perfect so I suppose he could be counted as the perfect father who raised me. But I'm only perfect to some people. Some see me as an arrogant asshole while others see me as Voldemort's heir. The spoiled rich boy who has it all. Yeah right. They think I should be happy. I wonder why? Is it because I'm smart, rich, good-looking, and every girl's fantasy? Perhaps I should seem a bit worried when we enter Dumbledore's office maybe that will lessen the amount of detentions I get. I hope I don't get detention with that oaf Hagrid. Last time that idiot sent me into the bloody forest! Lucky for me Voldemort wasn't about to kill me then. Those damn centaurs weren't any help to me though. Kept telling me about mars being bright and other bloody useless stuff that the old fraud Trelawney always spoke of. Trelawney had only predicted about 5 real things in her whole life. She's always being so bloody annoying ranting about that damned grim and stupid shit like that. She keeps telling me that I'm destined to be great. For what she never tells me. I suppose she doesn't even know. I do though. I'm supposed to be the Dark Lord. I wonder if I can rearrange the letters in my name to make myself a new name too. Though I suppose Draco isn't too bad. I could go by something in Latin maybe French.
"Floberwimble." I hear Snape mutter and a gargoyle jumps aside. I figure this is the Headmaster's office. Snape knocks on a door and it opens quickly. "Severus. Mr. Malfoy. Miss Parkinson. What are you all doing up here?"
"Malfoy explain." Snape hissed dangerously.
"How about everyone comes in first?" Dumbledore asked a bit of amusement in his voice.
"I must get back to my class. I'll leave these two to you Headmaster." Snape turned around and walked away.
"Come in Draco, Pansy." Dumbledore said. We did as he told us and looked around his magnificent office. It was decorated in sky blue and white. There was a phoenix in the corner of the room sitting upon what I guessed was his desk. It was covered in papers and quills.
"Sit." He pointed to some chairs. "And explain." He said.
