Chapter 2 Dreams are just Dreams

Ginny walked over to the window of her bedroom and looked out. The grass was glistening with the morning dew and the trees danced in the wind. She pulled her wand out from under her pillow and whispered "Lumos!" The tip glowed giving off enough light to see by. She sat on the windowsill and looked out at the Forbidden Forest. In this light it looked almost welcoming.

Her forehead was still glistening with sweat, and her breathing was irregular. She cursed herself for even dreaming a dream like that.

Dreams are dreams, but not when they are like that!

Ginny put her head in her arms and cried.

What's happening to me?

Draco lay on his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He was remembering the dream he had just had; Potter was being put under the Cruciatus curse.

He stared over to the window, the one disadvantage of this window was, that if you looked out at the angle Draco was, you could see the Gryffindor girls dorm. When he looked out this time he saw a familiar block of red hair. The skin underneath was creamy and pure, and had a scared look on it, even though he could not see the features.

"Draco, time to get up mate," mumbled Crabbe.

"All right," Draco moaned, pulling himself up and into the bathroom.

"Hermione, can I speak to you please?" Ginny was sitting at the Gryffindor table. She had resorted in telling Hermione about the dreams.

"Sure. But hang on a minute, I really need to go to the library." Ginny only just heard the last word as Hermione dashed off in the direction of the library.

Then Draco sauntered into the Great Hall flogged with his two cronies Crabbe and Goyle. A strand of sleek blond hair flopped over his face, he looked so sexy!

Ginny's hands started shaking and she was sweating, she was breathing all funny again.

I wonder if he has the same dreams.

Draco looked over at the Gryffindor table. The stupid Weasley girl was staring at him. He glowered at her. But he didn't feel right, not as it did when he glowered at the other Weasels. There was just something about that particular red head that made him feel…warm? Nah. Happy!

Ginny sat alone at the Gryffindor table, no one really spoke to her. They were all too interested in their food. So Ginny stared at Malfoy, the memory of last nights dream flooding her head. Draco was…was sort of smiling! Well one half of his mouth was raised and so was his right eyebrow; he sauntered past her his eyes not leaving hers. She wanted to smile. She wanted to do something heroic like her ex fancy. But Draco was gone. Richard came and sat next to her. He put his arm around her, and whispered in her ear.

"Look, babe, you know I … love you, but about Saturday. It's off, all right? I got Quidditch practise," Richard sat back and smirked. Ginny stared at him quizzically.

"Well, ain't you gonna cry of nuttin'?" Richard asked leaning forward.

"No. I was kinda hoping you'd say that, I don't think I want to go out with you," Ginny gulped, she knew she was lying, but she wasn't gonna let her feelings show, "So I'll see you around," Ginny started getting up.

"NO!" Richard stared around wild eyed, his mates were smirking and talking among themselves, "Ginny, I'm sorry, I can't go out with you. Who would want to go out with anyone like you?" Richard cried desperately.

"You what? Excuse me?" Ginny spun around. The widest smirk mixed with a scowl on her face. Richard looked scared but he grinned at his mates. They cut their eye at him and turned.

"What the Hell do you mean?!" Ginny shouted so loud the whole of the great Hall was looking. Draco was feeling happy. But why? "I'm asking you a question…fool. What the Hell do you mean? I just dumped you," Ginny knew she was lying through her teeth, but she gazed around the Great Hall, building up the audiences anticipation and then turned on Richard, "Just to set the records straight. I dumped you!"

"No. You can't. I mean," Richard spluttered.

"Which letter from that sentence do you not understand? I-dumped-you. Is that slow enough for your pathetic brain?" Ginny was starting to enjoy herself, "see that's what I hate about you, that what everybody hates about you. You're slow on the uptake. Your brain is still probably trying to process the sentence, 'I dumped you' well I'm sorry Mr Mega Slow, but I said that about 5 minutes ago, so I'll give you this sentence to think about when I'm…I don't know, up in the Gryffindor common room. You are an ungrateful, lying little pig, I know what's going on, Ginny Weasley, let's take her for a ride. Well I got something to tell you. Ginny Weasley does not take crap from nobody, especially not from you," and with that Ginny walked away. *Girl power* she muttered under breath.

"See, I told you Richard was no good!" Pavarti Patil was talking to Lavender and any other person that would listen, and she was not bothering to keep her voice down. Ginny was sitting on Hermione's bed, silent tears dripped down her face and made a wet patch on Hermione's shoulder.

"Why are boys such pigs?" Ginny murmured.

"No dear, boys only treat pigs like pigs," Pavarti shouted over.

"Pavarti! Why are you such an evil bitch?" Ginny was in the fighting mood and no one could get in the way.

"Ginny, come on, you don't want to argue again!" Hermione tried to pull her back, but Ginny struggled.

"Pavarti, you were jealous, so you hate me then. I dump the lying pig and you still hate me!" Ginny cried.

"…I…I don't know what it is!" Pavarti said.

Ginny sniffed, "were you jealous?"

"Yeah. S'pose." Pavarti said quietly.

There was silence, "well aren't you going to say sorry?" Ginny asked.

"Me? Sorry? It's you who should say sorry!"

"I'm fed up of this!" Ginny shouted and ran out of the Gryffindor Common. Without looking where she was going she ran around a corner. Suddenly she bumped into something. Something large, tall, blond and handsome……
