Draco sat under the gaze of his fellow Slytherins, as they expressed there
hate for him.
" You made, no LET us lose, to save some girl from a rouge bludger? What were you thinking?"
He dropped his head and tried to look as sorry as he could.
" I didn't think, I just acted. It was wrong of me to give up the snitch." They gave him one last look and turned away.
He heard mummers. " Who was she?"
" Some girl I guess."
" Why'd he save her?"
" I don't know, maybe he likes her."
" Oh, scary thought, Draco in love."
The girls giggled and he had to agree.
No one had really seen Ginny. Before they could get over the shock of his dive, and Potter's catch, she'd up and run away.
With out much thought to the consequences, he pulled the invisibility cloak out that his father had sent him for his birthday, and made for the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny hadn't talked to anyone since she'd run from Draco.
' I can't believe I let him get to me like this. He's a Malfoy for heaven's sake!'
" I am so screwed." she buried her head in her hands.
" How so?"
Ginny jumped a foot. " Oh, Hermoine, it's you. I didn't hear you come in."
Herm walked over and sat at the foot of her bed.
" We missed you at the celebration. Even Harry asked where you were."
Ginny nodded and stared off into space. " Really? That's nice Herm."
" Okay, something is wrong with you and I wanna know what. For the last two days you've been out of it, and I am beginning to think you are hiding something."
Ginny bit her lip and sighed.
" It's Draco alright? He's just not what everyone says he is."
Everything spilled out. The unicorns, the late night meetings, and finally, the kiss.
" So it WAS you who he saved. I thought so."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Draco wasn't so good with direction, he'd think he was lost. Then he saw it. The lady in the pink dress.
He went towards it and waited. And waited, and waited. He was about to give up when Hermoine stepped out of the portrit hole.
He quickly slipped around her before it shut and was in the Gryffindor common room.
He had to admit, they had tasteful decor. The Slytherin common was cold, dark, and green.
Draco was getting so sick of green.
He made his way around, careful not to touch any of the still partying students. Finally, he knew she wasn't here. He decided to check her room, and if she wasn't there he'd have to leave.
Fortunately, she was.
He watched her trough a crack in the door, while she brushed her hair and seemed to daydream.
How he would love to run his hand through her hair, and kiss her neck... he fell into a daydream of his own watching her. Not at all concerned with anyone else.
Draco suddenly heard footsteps behind him and he almost panicked.
Remembering that he was invisible, and that they couldn't see him, he stepped back away from the door.
Surprisingly enough, it was Hermoine.
" Okay, I went to the library, and I searched for a seeing spell It will tell us if he put a spell on you, or if someone else did, or if it's real."
Hermoine didn't seem very positive about the last one. It took him a minute but he got it.
' They're talking about me.'
When did Ginny tell her? Had she told anyone else? And what if someone else really had put a spell on her? Did she like him? Is that why Hermoine is searching for a spell on her?
Draco, still at the door, watched as the top student in Hogwarts did a spell that would decide his fate, and either break his heart, or give it wings.
He closed his eyes and not for the first time in his life he prayed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Draco! Boy, where are you?" The sound of his father outside the door. His belt being pulled off. He trembled under his bed.
' Don't find me, please. Just don't find me.'
" Lucas, leave the boy alone. He didn't know who he was talking to."
' Deep breaths, don't pant, be quiet, he can't find me. Don't find me...please don't find me.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Oh dear."
Hermoine's voice pulled him out of his memories, and Draco strained to pay attention.
" What? What do you see?" Ginny leaned over the thin glass.
" No spell. What you feel, is real. Oh dear."
Ginny squealed and fell to her bed. " Oh my god...I'm in love with a Malfoy. Or at least deep like. Amazing."
" Truly amazing." Draco whispered.
" Who's there?" The girls both cried out.
Draco opened the door and pulled off the cloak.
" Malfoy."
" Draco!"
His eyes met Ginny's and he stepped towards her. " Can I tell you something? I meant to tell you before, but you stopped me and, well, it's kind of important..."
Hermoine, realizing that this was a 'moment' quickly got up.
" Well, I'll just leave you two to talk."
She hurried out as they said goodbye.
" So...you were going to tell me something?"
Draco nodded and stepped forward.
" Well, look, we have established that we are friends, so I think I owe it to our friendship, to tell you, that I, Draco Malfoy, am in love..."a few moments went by and he added, "with you."
She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
" I think, that I, Virginia, am In love with you too." She mocked.
THUMP
" Ron! I told you not to go up there."
Harry, Hermoine and an unconscious Ron were in the door way.
" Oh dear."
" You made, no LET us lose, to save some girl from a rouge bludger? What were you thinking?"
He dropped his head and tried to look as sorry as he could.
