Chapter 6: Just a Dream
IShe stood demurely next to the refreshment table, her eyes following a dapper young man as he danced with a young lady. He turned around and caught her eye, seemingly transfixed, he dropped the young girl and started towards the sophisticated lady...
All of a sudden ushe/u was the one who had been dropped for the sophisticated lady. The dapper young man was Harry and the lady was Cho.
"NO! Don't leave me!" Ginny cried out to Harry, he paid her no attention. As he strode swiftly to Cho, Ginny collapsed onto the dance floor, her hair falling forward to shield her face.
"Harry" she whispered, her voice cracking. Her hand reached out.but he didn't take it..

A piercing cry split the air in the bedroom. Draco sat up, instantly alert. He turned his head slowly, so as to see where the cry had come from.
There was now a low, quiet, whimper now. He detected it was coming from Ginny's bed. (a/n: they sleep in the same room because Ginny is supposed to take care of Draco) He crept softly out of his bed and padded over to her's.
Ginny was crying, the tears glistened in the moonlight. Draco, uncomfortable, looked around the room, seeking for help. No help was forthcoming.
He stroked her hair, murmuring softly," It's okay, it's okay." This only served to make her sob harder.
Now Draco was cruel, taunting and cold. But he was still a gentleman, and he did not like seeing girls cry.
He gathered her into his arms and she nestled her head onto his chest. Then Draco began to hum, a light, lilting tune; intended to lift the spirits. Ginny's sobs quieted and she fell asleep, feeling safe within his arms. ***
Draco was woken by a horrible scream. " AHHHHHH!!!!" Draco sat up, blearily looking around the room for any possible danger.
"Get off her, you lecherous snake!" Ron yelled, trying to pull Ginny from Draco's arms. Amazingly, she was still sleeping.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Draco asked, yawning. Then he looked in astonishment at the girl in his lap. He had absolutely no recollection of the previous night.
" I wasn't trying to do anything, I swear!" Draco said, trying to prevent his untimely demise.
" Yeah, sure, that's what they all say." Ron grinned evilly. " Wait till Mum sees this." And with that last threatening statement, he left the room.
Draco lifted Ginny off of him and placed her gently on her bed. (a/n: yes, he's that strong. You know why? Cause I said so! ^_^ Thus is the great might given to authors. ) Ginny rolled over-right off the edge of the bed. He sighed in exasperation as he picked her up and once again placed her gently on the bed. Obviously this was not gentle enough.
" Wha-what?" Ginny woke up with a start. She stretched, yawned, and stretched again.
He could hear Mrs. Weasley at the door. " I'm sure Draco would never take advantage of Ginny like that." He could hear her voice clearly.
Ginny's eyes widened when she said 'taken advantage'. She swiveled around to ask Draco exactly what she meant. But by then Mrs. Weasley had already entered.
"Ah." she said with satisfaction. " You see, nothing at all is going on." she addressed this towards Ron and Harry.
Ron stared, agape.
A/n: Sorry it took so long and is so short, but I have writer's block ( and I couldn't think of anything else. Sorry! Please review!
