Chapter 11 | Everything gets patched up!
Ginny opened the window and the owl flew out flapping its wings and soaring high above the clouds. "I hope mum and dad aren't mad at me." She said leaning against the window and looking out across the bright and cheery day.
"Ginny." Someone knocked quietly and stepped into the room. "Can I ask you a favor?" Hermione came over and stood next to her.
"What?" Ginny said yawning. "It better not be to break up with Draco." She said angrily.
Hermione looked shocked, "Oh, no, no I could never ask you to do that."
"Well then what is it?" Ginny said impatiently turning away from the window and sitting on her bed.
Hermione bit her lip nervously and after a moment said, "Has Harry talked to you about, well, me?"
Ginny looked up at her squinting her eyes, "Why?" she said with slight interest. Hermione sighed. She paced the room nervously. Stopping in front of Ginny she let out a sigh of despair.
"How do you feel when you're with Draco?" she asked suddenly. Ginny raised her eyebrow slightly. Hermione sighed and hung her head. She resumed her pacing.
"I feel like, like, like we were the only people alive and all that matters is eternity." Ginny said after a moment. Hermione brightened, "That every day I wake up and think, 'I can't go on.' I can just think of Draco, or talk to Draco, and everything will be alright."
"That's how I feel about Harry." Hermione said happily, "Only slightly different," she smiled. "But… but… have you seen him lately?" Ginny shook her head, "Every girl from 4th year up is hanging all over him and he's smitten with Talia. And I haven't helped anything by letting Landrak think I like him." Ginny frowned a little and started to say something but Hermione kept talking, "At the ball last night, when you were with Draco… I kissed Landrak and that's when I knew that he wasn't right for me." Hermione sat down next to Ginny. "What has he said?"
"He said that he loved you." Ginny took a deep breath, "But he needed to make sure. He didn't want to hurt you again." She turned away, "So I told him he should date another girl and when he kisses her he'll know that you're the only one for him."
"You told him to go out with another girl." Hermione asked quietly, her shoulders shaking. Ginny nodded. "Why? What for?" Hermione asked quietly.
"I already told you." Ginny said getting angry. She's the one who broke up with him. "You're the one who broke up with him. You said you never wanted to hear his name again." Ginny yelled. "It's your fault. Don't blame me. Go talk to him."
"Ginny I'm sorry." Hermione put her hand on Ginny's elbow, "You're right, I'll go talk to him now." Hermione left. Ginny sighed and followed after her.
"Harry," Hermione said standing by his chair in the common room, "We have to talk." Harry looked up. He smiled at her a little and jumped out of his chair.
"Hermione." He said happily. "The greatest thing just happened to me." He almost shouted.
"Harry I'm sorry," Hermione said clearly not listening to him. Harry stopped smiling. His jaw hung open and he didn't breath for several seconds.
"What…?" he said coughing. Ginny smiled a bit. "You're what?"
"Sorry." Hermione repeated. "Oh Harry! I'm so sorry." She threw her arms around him and sobbed. "I just lost my temper that's all."
Harry patted her head a little nervous. Ginny smiled and left she had one more thing to do. Walking into the library she saw Landrak and Talia a few tables apart from each other.
"Landrak." She said standing a few feet in front of the table. "Follow me please." She led him forcefully to sit next to Talia. "We need to talk."
"I'm a little busy…" Talia trailed off as Ginny gave her a harsh look.
"Harry and Hermione are back together. And I know both of you weren't helping that in any way. Now instead of getting angry when they tell you. You'll congratulate them and pretend that you are going out with each other." Ginny said this all very slowly and then looked at both of the faces, "Any questions?"
"Yeah." Landrak said smirking a bit, "Do we get to kiss?" Talia giggled a bit.
"What's in it for us?" she asked recovering.
"I'll name my children after you." Ginny snapped.
Landrak looked up, "Really?"
"Of course not." Talia rolled her eyes.
Landrak grinned at her, "Well then we'll just have to name our kids after me."
"I'm not naming any of our kids Landrak." Talia said then blushed, "I mean, I WHAT?? I'm not having kids with you."
Landrak fell off his chair laughing hysterically. He composed himself then straightened. He leaned over her, "Think about it love." He winked and strutted out of the library.
Talia stared after him wistfully, remembered that Ginny was still there, and blushed. "Men." She said rolling her eyes. Ginny laughed at her and left happy.
"Well if it isn't the woman of the hour." Draco said pulling her into his arms.
Ginny smiled at him and put her hands on his cheeks, "If it isn't that slimy git Malfoy."
"Hey, now that's not nice." Draco said smiling. Ginny smiled too, and then turned a little green.
"Uh, Draco, I don't feel so good." She turned around quickly and threw up the contents of her stomach. "I don't think that's good." Draco picked her up and carried her into the nearest bathroom, which happened to be a boy's bathroom. In the nearest stall Ginny proceeded to throw up profusely. Draco held her hair back and steadied her.
"Malfoy, Miss Weasley, what are you doing here?" Professor Snape said flashing his eyes.
"Ginny's sick professor." Draco replied. Ginny threw up again.
"So take her to the infirmary." Snape said coldly.
"If you haven't noticed yet sir," Draco said coolly, "She's throwing up."
"Oh… wait…" Snape said. "Weren't you and Miss Weasley err…" Snape coughed delicately. Draco nodded. "Do you understand what this means Draco?" Draco shook his head. "Well then I'll wait for her to tell you." Snape started to leave, "Inform me when she does."
