Chapter 6: When Draco and Ginny got detention
Harry Potter this, Harry Potter that... figure it! How I, Draco Malfoy, can get more stupid than this? She always... always *liked* him. Why she would change her feelings right now...? Draco was wondering, sitting on his private bush, next to the lake. He was uprooting bunches of grass and flowers. Suddenly some step noise broke his muttering.
"I knew that you would be here," Ginny said
"And what do you want?" He asked, looking directly to her face.
"I came to... hmm... explain myself," She said in a very low voice, while she was sitting in the ground, not so next to him as the usual.
"You don't have to explain nothing to me." He said nervously.
"I know, but I saw the way you stormed out the hall"
"I've just finished eating that moment."
"Don't be silly. The plates where still empty." she answered, smiling at him.
"So do it. Explain yourself. Since when you and Potter are... dating?" Draco asked quickly, before he lost his courage.
"Me and Harry?" She laught very loudly. "I don't date Harry Potter, and I never did it, Draco... and about that kiss, he just wanted to make Hermione jealous..."
"But she wasn't even looking at you." He smiled mischievously "She was almost eating your brother..."
"And that was the reason... " Ginny concluded, looking deep into his silver eyes. "And you have nothing to tell me?"
"Oh, yeah... Pansy told me," He said, feeling his body warm and full of hope. She likes me.... Really likes me, likes me, likes!!!
"And that was all truth?" she asked, her heart bumping out of rhythm.
"Yeah, it was," He said, a little ashamed. I don't think that some old snogs will make difference now... "It was truth."
"And..." Ginny still was feeling the bumps and still was looking into his eyes.
"I can't change that, Ginny, you know it."
How you can't, you little git? Do you want to stay with Pansy and ask me about Harry???
"I don't know it. How you couldn't change that?"
"I just can't, Ginny, that's past, I can't control it... I can't undo it!" He said, starting to fell desperate. What she wants me to do? Turn back time?
"But so... do you like her?"
"No! I never ever liked her. She made me do it." He answered, part of him not understanding her questions.
She made him do it? She forced him to date her? They must have done... they already... and then she charged him about. And now...?
"What are you thinking about, Gin?" Draco asked, while he approached a few inches, they shoulders already touching.
Ginny pulled away, getting distant again, under Draco's amazed face. She tried to tell me this... he isn't a boy... he's a man... what he wants with me? What he wants me to do? Ginny brown shining eyes where full of tears when she asked in a cold and hurt voice:
"What the hell do you want from me, Draco?!"
"I... hmm... I like .. I like you." He said, looking into the wet grass. What she expects me to do?! "I want... I want to kiss you right now."
"And how about Pansy?"
"What Pansy has to do with this???" Draco asked, more and more puzzled.
"You know what she has to do with this, WITH YOU!!!"
"No, I don't know. Why you keep talking about that damn girl?"
"Because she is your girlfriend?" Ginny yelled, her eyes red and her face wet with tears.
"My what? I really don't think so..." he said laughing.
"So what did you think she had told me about?" Ginny asked, in a very dry way.
"That she and I... that we've already..." He blushed very suddenly and stopped talk.
"You've already what?" She asked, her whole body shivering. Please, they can't have did it... please don't...
"We just kissed a little and... we snogged sometimes..." he said, looking at her pink ears. "But that just happened because she said to me that I wasn't a real man, because I had never" He blushed one more time, his pale face now had two pink circles on the cheeks. "I've never... kissed someone"
"What? What did you mean with this?" Ginny left.
"I meant what I said." Draco said, his face turning white again. "But nobody needs to know about that, right?"
"No, sure not" She felt her heart bumping again, but for a totally different reason. Ginny's body was hot and all that was still missing was... The Talk. "Draco, I like you very much too. And I want to" She flushed " to kiss you too."
They approached their heads, looking inside each other eyes. Their nooses knocked. They laugh. They turned their heads to the same side. Knocked the nooses again. They laugh.
"Maybe this isn't the right time..." He said very calm and low. "It has to be more spontaneous, I think. But first, I have to ask you some stuff..."
"So ask it"
"Do you really, really don't like, or fancy Potter?" Draco asked, his voice in a muttering.
"I used to fancy him, but right now, I don't think so."
"And do you want to kiss me, and... stay with me more times?"
"Like dating?" Ginny asked, her lips shivering.
"Yes, like it. But only if you want it, of course. If you just want that tonight, that's ok too... but if you don't want it even right now, if you just want us to be friends, that's all right..."
"You are making me nervous with this stuff. You're talking strange things, in a very strange way, Draco" She said, calmly, but then, her voice switched in a acute tone and very quickly and she added "But if you want me to be your girlfriend the answer is yes."
His and her eyes where shinning and the night was pretty dark. They come back to the castle walking side to side. When they were at the first corridor, they broke off. Draco should enter in a fake wall and Ginny should walk upstairs.
"Have sweet dreams, Gin" He said, walking very slowly.
"You too, Draco" She whispered, blowing him a kiss.
He gave two huge and quick steps, and, in just a second, they were with bodies glued, the lips glued, their hearts glued and bumping together... Ginny could fell her body melt and Draco was burning from head to toe.
"Got you!!!" They heard Peeves noisy and irritant voice above them. They broke off more than quickly. "Such a lovely and cheesy scene! The redheaded Gryffindor girl and the silvery Slytherin do love each other!" He laughed, flying around them.
"Shut up, Peeves!" Draco whispered.
"Please, Peeves, be quiet." Ginny added, pale.
"All right, I understand. It's a forbidden love... the enemies are in love" Peeves said, very calm and ironic. "But now it's too late, little fellows. You can already see who comes from the darkness? Isn't our most kind and dear professor?"
Ginny and Draco turned at the same time, to see the growing shadow approaches, and from that shadow, Professor Snape crossing the corridor onto their direction. Peeves just flew away; laughing and making nasty noises, his work was done.
"So, Mr. Malfoy" Snape smiled faintly "and Miss Weasley. What are you doing at this time, out of your respective towers?"
"We were just..." Ginny was shivering, shivering...
"Doing some homework..."
"But aren't you from different years?" Asked Snape, looking oddly happy. "And from different houses?"
"We are, but..."
"Mr. Malfoy, you can go to the Slytherin tower, I know you weren't doing nothing that you shouldn't, but the Weasley girl must come with me. I'll take you to Filch. Figure it: One Gryffindor girl walking around, almost midnight. " He said, more cruel than ever.
"If she needs to go" Said Draco, at the start on a low voice, but at the end, with all his conviction, "I'll go with her."
Ginny smiled at him. It was her first detention. And it had to be with Snape! Snape saw her smile and added on his cold voice:
"Such concerning, Mr. Malfoy. What you think your classmates will say about it? You, a cunning Slytherin helping a Weasley?" His eyes, like black holes where now shining, but with angry. "You two go to your towers, and tomorrow you'll know your detentions." They started to walk away, one to each corner of the corridor, their heads down. "And sure. Slytherin will loose 5 points and Gryffindor can loose... 10 points." Snape added, before vanish on the shadows.
Draco was shivering, inside the fake wall. Ginny, pale, was almost at the Fat Lady's portrait. The next day, the whole school should know that they were together when Snape choose the detention. Draco's little world would fall down. He could already see Pansy's scandal and Crabbe and Goyle whispering. Ginny was almost fainting just to think what Ron would say...
Draco entered very slowly into the almost empty common room. He walked silently to his dorm, where Crabbe and Goyle were already snoring. Potions was his first class of the next day, and he could imagine what Snape would do. He was lying in his bed, and slept soon, very tired of the agitated day he had. But before he closed his eyes, he had one last happy tough: Ginny is mine...
Ginny entered still shivering by the Fat Lady's Portrait, and in the common room the Quiditch Team was discussing new moves and plans. The next weekend Gryffindor would play its first game, against Ravenclaw. A few people were around the team, so she could cross the room without being noted. She walked into her quiet dorm and sit in her bed. The next day, just after the lunch, she would have potions. She rolled in her bed a little, before she could sleep. Her last tough before she started to have wild and agitated dreams was: Draco is mine. All mine.
****
They were preparing the Get-off Concoction, which can make one vomit almost any kind of poison: it was a great relieve while you are searching for an antidote... Draco's potion, as always, was the one Snape praised the most, and for some time, Draco tough that maybe the professor had forgot last night incident. Remembering Ginny's face, he smiled.
"I bet he's planning something!" whispered Ron to Harry, which was already talking to his friends.
"And it must be something nasty. Look at his satisfied face." Harry said, putting two more lizard tails in this cauldron.
The class was almost ending when Draco's hope flew away. Snape cold voice said, echoing in the class:
"I think we're done. Everyone can go, but Potter and Weasley, because I don't like whispering at my class, you both will clean the tables." He looked around, to the students that were living the room and to Harry, that already started to brush Neville's melted cauldron, again. "And you, Mr. Malfoy, come to my table. We need to talk about your detention."
Everyone shivered. Malfoy? Detention? Because of Snape? Something was wrong, very wrong. The students that still were at the room walked away quickly, before Snape have the chance to remember that Draco was his favorite and decided to make anyone else pay.
Just Harry and Ron were at the room, still brushing Neville's table when Snape said, very loud:
"Well, Mr. Malfoy, I don't think that you imagined that your detention would ever be with that girlfriend of yours, did you?
Harry and Ron looked to each other, amazed. Draco looked to his feet, blushing. He knew that Harry had listened.
"Yes, sir."
"So... you'll catalog the library's new books, since 8:00 p.m., with Madame Pince." Draco felt one wave of relieves running trough his body. He was imagining another freaky trip around the Forbidden Forest. "And if you want to know," Snape added, his voice mischievously echoing. "Your little friend will change the old archots from the south tower."
Draco shivered. The south tower? It was too cold and with ghosts that are so dreadful that even Peeves never showed up there. And the detention would be in the dark, because the archots should be unfired to be touchable.
Ron and Harry shivered too. They just knew the South Tower from speaks, and Malfoy's girl would have one long night... She must be Pansy, that mustached girl that sits next to him in the Great Hall, Harry tough.
"But, professor, the South Tower is too... dangerous." Draco whispered, trying to avoid the boys' attention.
But Snape said very loudly, exactly to get attention.
"What a surprise, Draco. You defending that Gryffindor girl."
Harry and Ron couldn't control themselves and muttered, Who could be Malfoy's Gryffindor girl?
"I can't change detentions with her?" Draco whispered.
"I didn't heard that, Mr. Malfoy" Snape said, even that he heard every single word. He just wanted to make Draco ashamed in front of his enemies or turn back on his normal cruel state, which Snape really wanted.
May I say it again? I can't let Ginny in that awful place! But if Potter heard it... he toke a deep breath and said very confident:
"I would like to change detentions with her, Professor Snape"
Harry poked Ron, who was with his mouth open, his eyes fixed in Draco's face, and said:
"Who you think is this girl, Ron? She makes Malfoy want to change the archots in a totally haunted tower..."
"Totally haunted? More than this. Fred told me once that even the walls are haunted." Ron whispered, amazed.
Snape looked inside Draco's eyes, and maybe thinking that the humiliation Draco passed in front of Harry Potter was enough suffering, Snape said:
"If you want it so much, that's all right. Tonight, be at 8:00 p.m. at the Entrance Hall, and Filch will take you to the entrance of the tower. I don't think he'll want to enter with you." He smiled, cruel. "And you girlfriend will stay with Pince, at the Library. Now go to away, before I change my mind."
Draco run away, his ears making strange noises and his hear burning. He hears Snape yell:
"Minus 5 points to Gryffindor because you two are too lazy! Go now!"
Draco heard quick footsteps coming in his direction, and hide behind one large armor, where he heard Ron mutters:
"I could loose 50 points just to hear Malfoy humiliate himself to Snape again!"
Draco shivered and followed to his Divination class, for which he was late yet. What could be worse than this?
****
Ginny just saw Draco at lunchtime, and he seemed even more pale than usual. Snap.
Are you all right, Draco?
I'm so-so... you'll know later.
I don't understand.
Snape. Detention. I'll change torches at the South Tower.
South Tower! But this is an awful place, Draco
I know. But it isn't the worst part.
What?
Potter and your brother know about it.
How can they...
Yeah.
Snap
"Earth to Ginny, Ginny!" Ron was yelling. "Are you here?"
"Hmm... sure I am." She said, still amazed.
"So, who you think it's Malfoy's girlfriend?" He asked, laughing.
"What? Malfoy's what?" Ginny said, suffocating with the juice.
"Ginny, are you fine?" Hermione asked, scared. "You seems pale. We're just betting..."
Harry told her the whole Snape story. She felt pride for Draco's action. He saved her skin.
"... and that's why I think the girl is Parvati" Harry concluded.
"I think that's that is in the 2nd year, the one with the same white hair that he has." Ron said, eating a pumpkin muffin. "He is so vain that he just could like anyone that looks like him, though"
"I still think it's Pansy" Hermione said, looking to the girl at the Slytherins' table. "I know he said Gryffindor girl, but which Gryffindor could be so stupid to fall into his stories?"
Ginny shivered and Ron asked:
"And you, Gin, who you think is the mysterious Malfoy girl?"
"I...I..." She didn't have an idea to say something. "I dunno." She looked at her clock and get to her feet. "I'm late to Potions!"
She hurried away from the Great Hall, followed by the curious looks from Harry and Ron. Draco shivered once more before go to Charms Class, the last of the day.
***
Ginny entered in a still empty potion's room. Only Snape was in there, cleaning his cauldron in the middle of his table.
"Miss Weasley, so punctual..." Snape said in a ironic tone.
She blushed and sit on her usual table, praying to Snape tell her the detention before the room become full of curious students, but as usual, he read her thoughts and just at the middle of the class, while the potions were bubbling and the room was totally quiet, that he said:
"Weasley, come here."
Ginny got up and hurried to his table, and almost knocked down Colin's cauldron, which was looking amazed with the situation.
"Yes, Professor?" She muttered, her head down.
" About your detention... well, thanks to your boyfriend, you, Miss Weasley, will help Madame Pince to catalog the new books."
The whole class looked confused. Ginny in detention? How? She was always the most quiet student and was always reading and walking alone... and there are a boy in the story...
"And don't get late. For each minute that Madame Pince waits for you, Gryffindor will lose 5 points...", his eyes narrowed, "Do you understand?"
"Yes, professor..." she turned her back and then Ginny realized that the whole class was staring at her. She blushed. She stood on her place, frozen, until Snape finish the class. Everybody was whispering when the students left the room. She could hear pieces of muttering: Boyfriend... it must be Harry.... he kissed Ginny yesterday, didn't you see?
****
Almost nine o'clock Harry asked Hermione about Ginny. He hadn't saw her since the dinner.
"I didn't see her, and you, Ron?"
"She isn't here?" Ron asked, searching the common room. "Where is she? Maybe she has another class..."
"I don't think so", Harry said, pointing to Colin. "Colin is from her year and he's right there."
Colin, hearing the famous Harry Potter calling his name, appeared next to the table they were, like he had been summoned.
"Hi Harry, did you call me?"
"No, Colin..." Harry answered, bored. "But... did you see Ginny after the dinner?"
"Oh, yes. She is at the library." Colin answered, smiling at Harry.
"See, Ron? She's just studding!" Hermione said, her eyes shining proudly, while she was embracing Ron.
Harry turned his face, to not she Hermione and Ron together in that way. Colin was still staring at him.
"She isn't studding. She's on detention!" Colin said, getting his fifteen minutes of fame.
Hermione and Ron broke off. Harry's mouth opened in surprise.
"Are you sure?" Harry asked, when he could elaborate words again.
"Yes, I am sure. Snape called her to his desk today... and all the class heard, you know what he does to the Gryffindors..." Colin said, and suddenly he looked thoughtful. "And there was some boyfriend talking, though."
Ron was almost purple. Hermione and Harry looked to each other, shocked, but only she could speak.
"So Ginny is Draco's girlfriend!"
"Draco Malfoy?" Colin said, a little too loud. Now, all the students that were at the room were looking to the table at the corner. "Ginny Weasley is dating Draco Malfoy?"
Eyes were shining and mouths were hanging open. Colin Creevey seemed like he had been slapped. Ron, Hermione and Harry flushed. No one said a thing.
