Unrequited Love

Chapter Three





"So, what were you doing lurking around the halls anyway?" Draco said suddenly, turning into the small Astronomy Hall.

Ginny shrugged, "I wasn't lurking. I was just....walking around."

"Sure." Draco smiled knowingly at her from the side. She caught him and gave him a mocking evil eye. He laughed, then looked down at his feet.

"Draco- uh, I mean, Malfoy?" Ginny stuttered. She had just remembered something that she felt she had to ask.

He chuckled, "You can call me Draco. It's alright."

She flushed, "Okay, Draco. What were you just about to do in the bathtub?"

Draco bit his lip, then tried to cover, "Isn't that a little personal?" he quirked his eyebrow in a very, very cute way.

Ginny looked into his eyes from where she stood. They'd stopped.

"I was just wondering...because you looked upset."

Draco started to laugh.

"NO! I mean, you looked sad kind of upset. Not the kind of upset that you would be if a younger girl that is sisters with your enemy walked in on you uh, bathing."

Ginny regretted mentioning that Ron was his enemy at once.

He stiffened his shoulders, and began walking again.

"I never really quite got what they had such a problem with with me..." he started, then looked thoughtful, "It could be that I..."

"What did you do?" Ginny smirked at him, and Draco felt himself go red.

He couldn't tell her what he'd said to Ron on their first meeting.

*You must be a Weasley. My father told me that the Weasley's have flaming red hair, freckles and more children than they can afford.*

"Uh," Draco improvised, "I told him that he was a pompous git that couldn't ride a broomstick."

Ginny raised her eyebrows, and Draco was almost sure she was going to explode when-

She started giggling.

"You told him he was pompous?" she choked, and grabbed onto his arm to keep from falling down the stairs from laughing. Once she stopped, she looked down at her hand, which still rested on his muscular white arm.

He was looking at it too.

She looked up into his eyes and a not a thought brushed through her mind but-

Kiss him.
