Harry Potter and the Troublesome Evie

Chapter 14 | Big Fat Flashback #2
Ginny and Harry walked down the hallways talking. Ginny reluctantly agreed to wait until Harry was sure that Ron and Draco were done beating each other up.
"What if Ron hurts Draco?" Ginny asked worried.
"I don't think you should be worried about Draco anyway." Harry said smiling. "I think he can take care of himself, I think its Ron you need to worry about." He looked pensive. "What possessed you to even consider dating Draco anyway?"
"You really want to know?" Ginny asked happily. Harry nodded. "Oh Goody! No one's wanted to hear my story."
Ginny's Flashback
I had detention, in the potions classroom. Cleaning the floor. I was thinking about you Harry. I had a crush on you that year. You were too dense to figure it out though.
"Oh look it's the Weasley girl." I looked up to find Draco Malfoy perched on a stool. He surprised me. I sneered at him.
"What do you want Malfoy?" I asked him turning to grab a sponge.
"Where's Snape?" he said following me across the room.
"How should I know?" I replied.
"Well he did give you a detention." He was right. Yet, I didn't know where Snape was. I sighed and then I slipped in a puddle of water. He caught me before I could crack my head open on the hard stone floor of the dungeons.
"Why…" I started to ask him why he caught me but before I could finish my sentence he kissed me. My head was on fire and his lips were cold like ice. My brain kept screaming, 'He's a Malfoy idiot. A Malfoy.' But I was lost in a sea of emotions. When we finally broke apart I felt alone. "Why'd you stop?" I looked into his silver-gray eyes and smiled. I brushed his hair out of his face and leaned up for another kiss but he left me standing there.
"Sorry." He mumbled. I was heartbroken. I knew whom I was destined to be with. What I felt for you was just puppy love! I knew, I was positive that this was the real thing. He ignored me though. When I saw him in the halls he either insulted me or just walked past. The insults didn't hurt as much as when he walked by like I was a bug or something. I felt a weight pressing down on my chest squishing my heart.
"Why the long face Weasley?" he asked me one day. I was sitting on a rock letting the wind whip about my face. I was thinking about him. I must have looked sad or something.
"Draco, why do you ignore me?" I asked in a quiet face, ready to cry. "I don't mind the insults. I can't bear the ignoring though." He sat down next to me.
"I'm sorry Ginny." He turned my head towards him and kissed me. I melted in his arms. I kissed him back with passion. "We shouldn't," Draco said but I stopped him with another kiss. I didn't care who saw us. I loved Draco Malfoy. "I should go." "Don't leave me." I put my arms around him and buried my head in his shoulders.
"I really should go." I didn't let go though. He picked me up and carried me off the rock and set me down on the ground. "Ginny, I have a detention to serve." I nodded and ran off the school. The next few days were heaven. Draco would find ways to sneak up to my dormitory and steal a quick kiss or two. If it wasn't love before it was love then, but the day he told me he loved me… that was… words couldn't even describe it.
His hair was ruffled and he was half asleep. I lay their head on his chest listening to his breathing. I had snuck down to the Slytherin common rooms content to just watch him sleep. He awoke suddenly. "You should go." I nodded and left reluctantly. As I was about to climb into the Gryffindor common room someone spun me around and kissed me fiercely. Then Draco pulled away, whispered a quick I love you and left me to stumble back up to my bed.
Ginny's Flashback Interrupted
"You snuck into the Slytherin Common Rooms? Are you mad?" Harry asked threateningly.
"Shut up Potter and let me finish." Ginny snarled and let her eyes go all misty and dreamlike.
Ginny's Flashback Continued
Stolen kisses, abandoned classrooms, it was everything a girl could imagine except I had the perfect guy. I had Draco, and he loved me. Finally I convinced myself it wasn't a dream. The feelings were too real. Whenever he kissed me my body was flooded with waves of passion and it was almost too much to bear.
I also dreaded the day that Ron would find out. Or that Draco's parents would discover his secret. I tried not to let myself love him. I tried not to dream about his godlike figure, his perfect face. I tried to avoid him but he wouldn't hear of it. He insisted that Ron would be no problem and that his parent's would find out. Then you caught us that day Harry. I decided to be smart about it and just tell Ron.
When I saw how furious my older brother was I feared for Draco… what if he couldn't take Ron? What if Ron's rage made him stronger? And then I saw that Dark Mark today and my world crumbled, all I could think about is how he betrayed my trust.
End of Flashback
"All I wanted to know is why you dated Draco… not the life story of Draco and Ginny's secret relationship." Harry said coldly.
