Chapter 3. THIS IS WHAT WE WRITERS CALL CHAPTER 3
"I saw you looking at me,"
"How could I not look at you?"
"Stop, your making me blush!"
"Oh, I could make you blush a lot more,"
"Ha! Why were you looking at me?"
"Cos you're beautiful!"
"That's not funny!"
"I know. It's the truth."
"That still did not answer the question,"
"I looked at you because I love you,"
"Oh, Draco!"
"Ginny!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Ginny sat up rigid in bed. Another dream! There were a few snorts and "Whassamatter".
"Go back to bed," Ginny reassured them.
What is going on in my mind! Ginny thought Why do I keep dreaming of Draco Malfoy?
This was the 4th time she'd had a dream like this. Did she like him or was it trying to warn her to stay away from Draco Malfoy?
::FLASHBACK::
"Weasley," Draco Malfoy said coldly.
"Malfoy," Ginny said curtly.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked although he didn't care. *not really!*
"What do you care?" Ginny cried hotly, and she ran off to find her secret hiding place. Hagrid's hut.
::END OF FLASHBACK::
Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny were sitting around a table in the Gryffindor Common room, Harry was reading a book, Hermione was doing her homework, Ron was drawing on magical paper (odd because the drawing kept disappearing) and Ginny was thinking about things.
"You know something," Harry said quietly, "well…" he looked around warily, "there's something strange happening here…in the school"
"Like what Harry?" Ron asked.
"I don't know, but have you noticed how the teachers are really edgy and aren't concentrating?" Harry said.
"Yes I see it too," Hermione said shutting her book suddenly, "today in Care of Magical Creatures…"
::EARLIER THAT DAY::
"Ok class, there's some Squiggle Creeps at the back of th' class, You go and get on wit yer work," Hagrid waved in the direction of a paddock.
"What do we do with those Hagrid?" Hermione asked.
"Jus' do wha' ever yer wan' ter do," Hagrid said without looking at Hermione.
"But Hagrid…"Hermione cried.
"Jus' get on with yer work Hermione, I don' wanna lose my temper!" Hagrid shouted. Hermione frowned and followed the rest of the class over to the Paddock. There was a most unusual assortment of animals crawling, galloping, and flying around the Paddock. Most of them were a lilac, blue colour, with big green eyes.
"What's up with Hagrid?" Hermione asked Harry.
"I don't know. Maybe he's upset," Harry said.
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked over at Hagrid, he was pacing the small space between his hut and a thorn bush, a worried expression was in his eyes.
"There's definitely something up. Professor McGonagall wouldn't praise me when I turned my caterpillar into a butterfly!" Hermione gushed.
All of a sudden Professor Snape came running from the school building. Hagrid took one look at Snape's urgent face and let him into his hut. The bell rang and all the children trudged up to the school.
::END OF FLASHBACK::
"So what'd you thinks up?" Ron asked.
"I don't know. But I want to find out!" Harry said aggressively.
"Am I in?" Ginny asked.
"Gin…" Ron said uncertainly.
"You guys always leave me out," Ginny flounced.
"All right, you can join in. Look, I'm going to go down to the teacher's staff room and see what I can hear. Don't worry I'll take the invisibility cloak!" Harry got up and sprinted up the stairs to the boys' dormitory.
"Ginny, me and you can go to the library. I heard Professor Vector telling Professor Sprout about a televincus incantation…what? I was waiting to show Professor Vector my extra credit report. I wasn't spying!" Hermione cried seeing Ginny looking at her disbelievingly, "at least, I think it was a televincus incantation. I wasn't really listening,"
Ginny and Hermione set off in the direction of the library, whispering a hurried goodbye to the invisible Harry ("I'm over here girls"). Ron was going to do his homework.
"Found anything?"
"No. You?"
"No."
……….
"Found anything?"
"No. You?"
"No."
"All I can find in this book is about incantations for good uses." Ginny said holding up a book, *Incantations, the good days*
"We'll need to use the restricted section. This books rubbish!" said Hermione, she was reading, *a step by step version of incantations*
There was a big pile of books she and Ginny had read, and the pile was growing larger each minute.
"How are we going to use the restricted section? We don't have a note?" Ginny cried flinging her book down and getting a cross look from Madam Pince.
"Never fear, Professor McGonagall gave me this note ages ago saying that I could use the restricted section whenever I feel like it.
She produced a piece of parchment out of her robe pocket.
Madame Pince eyed the piece of parchment warily, sniffed it, and held it up to the light. Her eyes narrowed and she pursed her lips. Then she nodded, handed the parchment back to Hermione, and went back to stamping books. Ginny stepped over the rope separating the two library parts. Hermione hung back,
"Madam Pinch, um….you couldn't help me could you? I'm looking for a book on incantations." Hermione said.
"Do I look like a library," Madam Pinch growled, then she stopped realising it was a stupid thing to say. She scowled and took out her wand and muttered something as she pointed it at a drawer in the corner. A piece of old discoloured parchment flew out and landed on her desk. Hermione picked it up. There was a list of possible books and their locations. Hermione smiled and followed Ginny into the other half of the library. The shelves on this side where all old and tatty, and written it some strange language.
"You look in row 2008, section ancient ruins, number 46535, and I'll look over there," Hermione said reading the piece of parchment infront of her, Ginny nodded and walked off and Hermione wandered off in the other direction.
"Hello Weasley," Ginny was searching the shelves when she heard this cold familiar voice.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Ginny asked. Draco was leaning against some shelves, smirking and being his pig-faced-stupid-bastard self.
"Nothing. I have as much right to be here, in fact, anywhere as much as you do," he said unmoved.
Ginny scowled and scanned the shelves for a book on incantations. "Do you mind moving out of the way?" Ginny said coldly.
"No." Draco said not moving.
"Draco just get out of the way!" Ginny cried. She was still not going to forgive him for what he did to her yesterday.
"What?" Draco asked.
"I want you move out of the way," Ginny spat as she pulled a heavy book from the shelf. It was big and brown; it had gold tinted pages. The bind had only two words written on it:
'Dark incantations' it was a little too heavy for Ginny, so Draco stepped forward and put the book on the table.
"Thanks," Ginny said stumped and set down to read the book. Draco stayed leaning against the bookshelf throughout the whole time.
