Chapter two
When Brock opened the door, exposing Draco and Ginny, Ginny told them she was expected at Leshelles. Brock insisted she stay, but Ginny paid no attention, and ran to Leshelle's house. She ran all the way up to Leshelle's room soaking wet. When she got to the room Leshelle was already bombarding her with questions.
"What did you ask? What did he say? Why are you all wet?" Leshelle asked this last question with a lilt in her voice, as if to say "what the hell?". Ginny thought fast. She really wanted to tell Leshelle all about the kiss, but she couldn't since it was Leshelle Ginny was suppose to get Draco interested in. Ginny hated doing it, but she simply lied.
"Brock was being a jerk and sprayed me like four times!" Ginny said giggling. Ginny continued. "Ok, I asked Draco about you and he said you were nice and pretty." Leshelle waited for more, but Ginny had finished.
"That's it?" Leshelle said.
"Yeah, but that's good isn't it? I mean, he seems kind of shy." Ginny said.
"Yeah you're right." Leshelle said. She seemed convinced that she had a chance with Draco. Ginny wasn't planning to spend the night at Leshelle's but Leshelle's mother insisted, and Ginny owled her mother. In the end, Gin and Leshelle ended up watching movies on Leshelle's muggle father's Tv and eating chocolate. At midnight, Leshelle dozed off, and left Ginny to her thoughts. Ginny didn't have long to think because a huge black owl came with a message twenty minutes later. The owl was carrying a message from Draco.
G. -
I'm outside by Brock's side yard. Meet me, now.
D
Ginny snorted. Draco had practically ordered her to meet him. Ginny thought for a moment, but knew she couldn't resist going to see him. She put on Leshelle's cloak over her white flowing night gown. Unfortunatly, Leshelle's cloak was a few inches too long, and Gin kept tripping, but she managed to get down the stairs and through Leshelle's house into Brock's yard. She saw Draco. He was wearing a long black cloak, just as she was. She walked towards him.
"Hullo" Draco's low voice said quietly.
"Hi" said Ginny softly.
"Look, I wanted to say sorry, for today. I was out of line." Draco said "I know, you didn't mean it. I didn't take it to heart, I understand." Ginny said quickly. Draco looked shocked.
"Of course I meant it! Jesus, Ginny, I wanted you so badly. I just felt guilty, I mean, your two years younger, your brothers hate me." Draco trailed off.
"I see."
"Ginny, did you feel that? I mean, that passion. I swear, I was just completely attracted to you. I couldn't help but kiss you. I want to get to know you Ginny Weasley, if you'll let me." Draco was speaking softly, he moved towards her and was looking deep into her eyes.
"I felt it. Draco, I just don't know. Just give me some time ok?" Ginny was doing her best to take it slow, but she already knew that she was falling hard for Draco. Draco leaned down to Ginny and kissed her on the forhead. Ginny looked up and frowned. She wanted more of what she had gotten that day, she wanted him to give her a real kiss.
"Kiss me properly Draco" Ginny said softly as she leaned into him. Draco was surprised, but complied and leaned down to kiss her. Ginny sighed with pleasure. This must be heaven she thought. She could smell Draco's after shave, and it's scent was intoxicating. Draco moaned and backed away. Ginny looked up at him and gave him a tight hug. Draco sighed and whispered as he held her
"What are you doing to me Ginny Weasley?"
*************************
The next morning Ginny woke up on the floor of Leshelle's room in her sleeping back. She smiled as she remembered what she had experienced with Draco. She then frowned remembering that she had to spend a whole day with Draco, Brock, and Leshelle who would be hitting on Draco. Ginny groaned and got up. Ginny always brushed her teeth first thing in the morning, and that morning was no exception. She padded down the hallway to Leshelle's bathroom and found Leshelle curling her hair.
"Hey kiddo. We are going to met the boys at 9, it's 8:30 so you might want to start getting ready." Said Leshelle briskly.
"Right" said Ginny. Ginny never took more than 20 minutes to get ready. She simply brushed her hair, washed her face and put on mascara and lip gloss. At 9 the girls went outside and saw Draco and Brock. Ginny gasped, Draco was just as handsom as last night, even more. His hair was free falling, and he was wearing a long cloak again. All in all, he looked gorgeous. Draco felt a bit light headed as he looked at Ginny. She was wearing a pair of faded muggle jeans and a long sleeved black muggle shirt. The jeans were tight, and fit her nicely. The shirt was tight as well. Draco gaped at her curves. Leshelle didn't seem to notice and walked right up to Draco and began a conversation.
"Hey Drac" said Leshelle smiling.
"Hello Leshelle" Draco said absent mindedly.
"How are you boys today?" Leshelle continued
"Just fine" Brock answered. Ginny and Draco tried to act normal that day, but both kept giving sideways glances toward one another. Leshelle hardly noticed, and kept up her flirtation with Draco, meanwhile Brock was trying to flirt with Leshelle. The day was a good one. All four were cheerful and happy. Ginny almost completely forgot that she was with Draco Malfoy, the arch enemy of her own brother, almost. But then again, Ginny thought, he has changed. Draco was quite, but funny and nice. He wasn't sneering or making crule jokes.
Brock had suggested they go to a muggle carnival. Ginny and Draco were confused at this suggestion, since nither had ever been, but Leshelle and Brock both agreed it was an excellent idea. They were all having a wonderful time, until Leshelle hit a snag at the faris wheel. They were all standing in line for the ride, and no one had paid attention to the order they were in, so Draco and Ginny ended up sitting together. Leshelle was furious with Brock for pushing her into a seat with him. Ginny and Draco were a seat below the other two, and were listing in on the conversation.
"Why on earth did you do that?" Leshelle said
"Maybe I thought it would be a good idea for us to sit together." Brock said gloomily. Leshelle instantly understood, Brock liked her. Leshelle wasn't sure what to say, so she didn't say anything. The pair stayed silent for a while. Meanwhile, Draco and Ginny hadn't said a thing, knowing that Leshelle and Brock could hear. Ginny looked over at Draco, and was surprised to see him looking at her. Ginny looked down at his hand, it was big, much bigger than her own. It was calloused, as if from work. Ginny quietly put her small hand over his and looked up at him. Draco was astonished at the small gesture. He smiled at Ginny. All too soon the ride was over.
The four ended the day with quick goodbyes. Leshelle, Brock, and Draco all procided to Oddere's Cove, the villiage they lived in. Ginny went home sadly, wishing she could spend one more night with Leshelle.
*************************
When Ginny arrived home, she was greeted by Harry, Ron, and Hermonie. Ginny had long ago gotten over her crush for the Harry Potter. She decided he was just a friend, and always would be.
"Ginny! So good to see you! You've really gown over the summer." Harry said excitedly. Harry always loved being at the Weasley's.
"Hey Harry, good to see you too. Yes, I have gained a bit of weight. I am totally gross, I know." Ginny said. Harry frowned, that wasn't what he had meant at all. Ginny's figure was perfect to him, but he wasn't going to announce that here.
"Hey Hermonie! Long time no see." Ginny said, embracing the girl who was practically her sister.
"I know Ginny! We really should've gotten together over the summer." Hermonie said. Ginny nodded and gave her brother a hug as well.
"Where have you been sweetie?" Ron asked affectionetly. Ron had taken to being nicer to his sister after her second year.
"I spent the night at Leshelle's, and we went to the carnival today." Ginny said. Hermonie and Harry laughed. Ron simply frowned.
"What's a carnival?" Ron asked
"It's a muggle thing, with rides and stuff." Harry explained.
"Ohh, muggle thing." Ron said.
The trio decided to have a snack, and left Ginny to her own devices. This was fine with Ginny since she needed to begin packing for Hogwarts, the train was leaving in two days. Ginny frowned. What am I going to do about this Draco thing? She thought. Ron was so protective of her, and dating a Malfoy was deffinetly not ok with him. But she didn't even know what was going on with Draco. They had kissed, but he hadn't asked her out. Maybe she should just forget it, Draco Malfoy had a new girl every month. Ginny decided that they had moved too fast anyway, and decided to forget it ever happened. That was going to be harder than she would ever expect.
*****************************
The day that the four left for the Hogwarts train was a busy one. It seemed like not matter how much they packed before, they always had twice as much to do that morning. Ginny sighed as she stood outside of the Burrow. She loved her home, and always hated moving from it. She had said goodbye to Brock and Leshelle the day before, and cried for she new she would miss them terribly. Draco had sent her two letters since she last saw him, both of which she had not read. As Ginny sat down in the new car the Weasley's had bought, waiting for the rest of the family to get in so they could leave, she opened the first letter and read it.
Dear Ginny,
I am missing you already. I know I am taking things really fast, but I can't help it. I am so into you. I can't wait to see you on the train.
Draco
Ginny read the letter over and over, smiling to herself. He really must like her, she thought. Before Ginny could fold the letter back and put it into her purse, Harry snatched it out of her hand.
"What's this?" He asked as he smiled down at her. Ginny tried to grab it back, but it was too late. Harry's smile faltered as he read the letter. Realization struck him as he read the last word. He crumpled the letter in his fist and leaned into Ginny.
"Look, I don't want to get you into to troble Ginny, so I am not going to tell Ron, I am however, going to make sure you don't hang around Malfoy. I don't know what's going on, but I am going to make damn well sure he doesn't come near you." Harry said in a fierce whisper. Harry's eyes were gleaming in anger. Ginny simply nodded. She wasn't going to comply, but Harry didn't have to know. She would just have to be careful.
When they got to King Cross station Harry insisted on taking Ginny through the barrier with him. Ginny's mother was delighted that Ginny had one more protector. Harry lead her through by the elbow, and didn't let go until they were on the train. Ginny had seen Draco giving her a look and trying to come near her. Ginny nodded at him as if saying "not now" and he stopped. Hemonie and Ron were speaking in low voices, and seemed deep in conversation. Harry didn't notice. All four sat in the same compartment, and the ride was fairly boring. At one point, Ginny had to go to the bathroom, and told Harry so. Harry tried to seem natural, and said it was fine. Ginny quickly left the compartment. As she turned around to head towards the bathroom, two large hands took Ginny's waist from behind and dragged her into another compartment. Ginny didn't even have time to scream, for Draco turned her around quickly and said
"Sorry, it's just me. Your damn bodyguard hasn't given me any room to see you." Draco joked softly, rubbing his hands up and down Ginny's arms. Ginny backed away.
"Draco, we can't do this. This can't happen. It won't work. I'm sorry, but I can't do this. Please, don't do this again." Ginny said quietly as she backed out of the compartment. Draco's face was twisted in anger, and pain, and confusion. Ginny didn't want to do it, but she had to. She knew it wouldn't work, and it wasn't fair to anyone. Ginny's heart broke as she saw the hurt on Draco's face, and she felt like crying.
***************
The first two weeks of school were torment for both Ginny and Draco. Draco was angry, and hurt. Ginny was heart broken and sad. Both wanted to be with the other. If they saw each other walking down a hallway, Ginny would walk faster and Draco would stare at her, but both were fine when the other wasn't near. Ginny sat with the trio at lunch, and laughed and talked. The third week of school was the hardest for Ginny. Draco had his arm constantly around a Ravenclaw twit named Sarah Parker. She was blonde and skinny, and a huge ditz. Whenever Draco walked by Ginny with Sarah he would smirk at her and whisper in Sarah's ear. Ginny would pretend not to care, but inside she was fuming.
One night, Ginny decided to get some advice from the only girl she truly trusted, Hermonie. Ginny told Hermonie she needed to talk, and Hermonie agreed instantly. She loved giving advice to this girl who she considered her younger sister.
"Ok Gin, whats up?" Hermonie said. They were sitting on Ginny's bed across from each other.
"Well, there's this guy. We kind of had a thing over the summer, but I told him we couldn't anymore once we got back to school. I really like him, but my family hates him, and they would never forgive me. I just don't know what to do Hermonie." Ginny finished sadly. Hermonie frowned in confusion. The only boy Ginny's family would truly hate was -
"Draco Malfoy?! You and Malfoy had a thing?!" Hermonie yelled
"It wasn't like.I mean.he was just.well." Ginny finished lamely. She bit her lip and looked up at Hermonie. Hermonie just stared in shock.
"Ok, whoa, I mean, wow. Lets just pretend I didn't hear that. I want to give you advice, but the only I can right now is listin to your heart Gin, and trust it."
Ginny thought for a moment. She knew what her heart said, but trusting it was a completely different matter. Hermonie got up to leave and was mumbiling things like "wow.oh my god..ron..malfoy". Ginny simply put her head in her hands and thought. She knew that it was Draco she wanted, and she knew what she had to do.
When Brock opened the door, exposing Draco and Ginny, Ginny told them she was expected at Leshelles. Brock insisted she stay, but Ginny paid no attention, and ran to Leshelle's house. She ran all the way up to Leshelle's room soaking wet. When she got to the room Leshelle was already bombarding her with questions.
"What did you ask? What did he say? Why are you all wet?" Leshelle asked this last question with a lilt in her voice, as if to say "what the hell?". Ginny thought fast. She really wanted to tell Leshelle all about the kiss, but she couldn't since it was Leshelle Ginny was suppose to get Draco interested in. Ginny hated doing it, but she simply lied.
