Falling

Ginny was the last one to wake up the next morning she had slept in a little, but Hermione shook her like crazy.

"Come on Gin, you'll be late for classes." Hermione stated in a sisterly like manor. When Ginny and Hermione were alone Ginny could always confide in her. They were like sisters, only Hermione couldn't help ignoring Ginny when she was with Ron and Harry. When Ginny was awake she couldn't help the big smile that stretched across her face from ear to ear.

"My I do believe that someone is in a good mood this morning." Hermione puzzled, Ginny hoped Hermione wouldn't ask because she knew that she would tell her everything, from falling on Draco in the train to the passionate kiss in the hall yesterday.

 "Care to share?"

"Oh it's nothing." Ginny lied.

"Does it have something to do with Malfoy? He looked a little made when you didn't come down to Breakfast, I've noticed him looking at you and vice versa, but I haven't told Ron or Harry if you're wondering."

"Was he really mad?" Ginny questioned. Which seemed to confirm Hermiones suspicions. Eventually Hermione got all the answers; Ginny had told her everything.

"Suppose you get dressed now, classes start in ten minutes, and here is some food for you, see you in defense agents the dark arts." Hermione winked and left Ginny to get ready. Ginny put on a white blouse that was three quarter length and buttoned up the front, she added a denim three- quarter length skirt with a small slit up the front of about four inches, and she added black platform shoes and put on one of her robes. Ginny finished the toast Hermione brought up and left with her books and wand to her first class with three minutes, Ginny didn't have time to do anything with her hair so she left it down over her shoulders. Ginny ran down the halls as fast as she could go she had knocked over a few first or second years mumbling sorry as she rushed and made it in class just as soon as they started. Lupin was back and has been teaching for a couple of years now. Ginny got in class and there was one seat left in front of Draco beside Neville in the front of the class.

"Hi, Ginny I was worried when you didn't show up for Breakfast." Neville dared at making conversation.

"Oh yeah I slept in." Ginny replied clearly not interested, Neville took the hint and didn't say anything more, which was good because class had just begun.

"Good morning Class, this is going to be a difficult year for some of you, through the first part of the term we will be doing a soul exchange charm, and in the next part we will be working on Dragons, Hagrid has offered to bring in a few for us to do the exam on." Lupin kept explaining about what the year would be like by the time class was over every one was asleep.

Ginny trudged down the corridors to the great hall with Neville beside her and Hermione, Harry and Ron in front; again she was a shadow. When they enter the hall they all took their usual seats. Harry and Ron emerged in a conversation about Quidditch and Hermione rolled her eyes took out a book and started to read. Neville was being quiet like always. If a few minutes Ginny was rescued when Colin came running in the hall.

"Hey Gin, how was you class? Where were you today at breakfast, you know who was looking pretty mad." Colin said glancing at Neville and Draco.

"I know Hermiones' told me and I slept in."

"Oh are you excited for Quidditch tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Um Ginny," Neville piped up noticing that she was happier now "can I ask you something?"

"Sorry Neville can it wait until later I should hurry off to my next class, come on Colin." Ginny said as she pulled him out of the hall and off to herboligly. During this class they were re potting Mandrakes and Colin needed another bucked so he climbed the ladder to reach the top of the shelf and accendtly knocked a large book over it landed on Ginnys head as she was holding the ladder. Ginny fell back with a thump and She was dismissed to go to the Hospital wing. Ginny grabbed her books and left but not to the hospital wing to her room and studied a bit.


Soon it was time for supper, she want down the staircase and joined supper with the rest of her schoolmates.

"Hey Ginny, sorry about the book it was well it just slipped."

 "That's alright, ready for practice?"

 "But we just got here aren't you hunger?"

 "No, I want to get an early start." Ginny said glancing at a non-existent Malfoy, he did not come for supper so she didn't really want to stay.

"Well I guess." Colin didn't get to finish his sentence when she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the castle and onto the field. They flew around the pitch a couple times and the rest of the team joined them. There was Harry as Seeker, Ron as beater, Dean as the other Beater, Seamus as keeper, Ginny as middle chaser, Colin as right chaser and Collins little brother Dennis as the other chaser. Ginny was the only girl on the team and she is second best chaser only to Angelina Johnson, who graduated.

It had started to rain a little so Dean called practice over and they all went in side. It was still early in the evening so Ginny took off her wet robe and in her shirt and skirt, took her books down top the Library to do some studying. She was in the library for a couple of hours and fell asleep on her books, while Ginny was sleeping she didn't notice Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle sneaking up behind her.

"Grab her and bring her with me." Pansy ordered. Crabbe and Goyle picked up the sleeping Ginny and they carried her up to the tallest astronomy tower. Ginny woke up when she felt the rain pouring on her face.

"Hun, what? where am I?" a frazzled Ginny asked and tried to back away from the edge, but there were two people holding her tightly and very rough. She looked on either side of her and saw Malfoy's Flunkies, Crabbe and Goyle. 'This is one of malfoys stupid jokes.' She thought.

"I can't have you in the way of my seducing Draco, now dear." Ginny knew that voice but she couldn't place it.

"Who are you and what do you mean?"

"I can't tell you who I am but, what I mean is; I saw you kissing Draco and he is always staring at you during meals, he always ignores me and I can't have that if we re to be married."

"Pansy?" Ginny questioned but didn't get the right response.

"Throw her off." The person Screamed. Crabbe and Goyle pulled a soaking wet Ginny to the edge and threw her over. Ginny wanted to scream but some how she couldn't find her voice, 'this is it' she thought as she plummeted to her Death.

Draco came late for supper he had stopped to change, he was now wearing a silver brown sweater and Black pants. He walked into the Hall and noticed that Ginny was nowhere to be seen 'probably for the best' he thought. He sauntered over to his seat and began eating. Pansy was starting to lean all over him and it was making him sick. He was so disgusted right now that he got up and left. He walked back to his common room, passing the Griffindors Quidditch team, he heard them say something about rain but didn't pay much attention, when inside the room he sat down to think. He was probably sitting there for and hour or so when people started filing into the room. Pansy came in with Crabbe and Goyle, she took one look at him and he looked so evil that she just huddled across the room with Crabbe and Goyle. They looked as if they were planing something but Draco was ready to kill so he left. He walked to the front doors and looked out side it was raining really hard and he didn't really want to go outside but this was the only place he could think straight. Draco walked out side and started walking around the castle. He was near the astronomy wing, when he felt like he was alone.

"What was I thinking?" Draco muttered as his hands from behind his head flew down in front of him.

" I can't believe I kissed her, I must be out of my mind." Draco was about to finish when a very soaking wet and frightened Ginny Weasley fell out of the sky and into his open arms.

"Well now, I've heard of the muggle song It's raining men, but I didn't actually think it rained people, beautiful ones at that." He said the last part very quietly and Ginny couldn't make out a lot of it.

"Shove off Malfoy." Ginny said recovering from her fall and realizing whom her rescuer was.

"I understand that if I wasn't her than you would be dead right now? Unless you were trying to kill yourself?" Malfoy said not letting go of a struggling Ginny.

"I wasn't trying to kill my self, your whore ordered your flunkies Crabbe and Goyle to throw me off the tower." Ginny spat in his face.

 "Pansy is not my whore. Why?"

"She said I was interfering with her plan to marry you." Ginny said still trying to get out of his arms but soon realizing that it was next to impossible and she didn't really want to.

"Her plan to marry me?" Draco brook out laughing "What would have giver her the idea that you were interfering?"

"She saw you kiss me, you mean you to are getting married?" Ginny's spirit fell when she said this.

"No I am not marrying her." Draco said angrily as he walked back up to the front doors. Ginny was catching a cold and she was shivering.

"Oh." Ginny said a little hopefully, but not enough for Draco to notice. When they reached the doors Draco put her down so that she was now in front of him.

"I believe, for rescuing you I should get some thanks and some sort of a reward." Draco Drawled.

"Fine, thank you Draco for saving me." Ginny said huffily.

"Your welcome." He replied and stood there waiting.

 "What?"

"Reward." He said stiffly.

"Oh what do you want?" Ginny replied earnestly.

"Well a kiss would be nice."

'Oh." Ginny said bashfully. She leaned up to him and gave him a small peck on the lips. Just as she backed away Draco pulled her in closer and deepened the kiss, she parted her lips slightly with surprise and he took this opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth. She responded not with retread but she moved her hands around his neck and tangled her finger in his hair, her tongue massaging his. He tasted of Chocolate cherries and she tasted of Vanilla peppermint. They were kissing for a few minutes when Ginny shivered a litter. Draco Noticed and pulled out of the kiss only to hear a protesting Moan from Ginny.

"You're freezing, we should take you to see Madam Pomfrey. The both walked in side and down to the Hospital wing. When the witch saw them both she tut tuted.

"Outside in the cold, not dressed properly, and raining on top of that. Good heavens, what is next." She began mumbling and passed them robes to chance into.

"You'll be staying the night, so get changed. Ginny drew the curtain separating the beds and they both changed. Then the Healer came in with two glasses of potion and told them both to drink.

"Now into bed and in the morning you should be fine, call me if you need anything." She said and left. Ginny was suddenly tired, she lay back on her pillow and went to sleep, 'there must be some sleeping potion it that' Ginny thought and was out. That was the same for Draco only took one last look at her 'god she looks beautiful when wet and sleeping, like an angel' and he to fell asleep.
