Chapter 3(continuing from the same day as chapter 2)
After Hermonie left Ginny's dorm, it was nearly 10, and Ginny was beginning to drift off. She decided to go to sleep and wait to figure out the Draco thing. Ginny had decided that not being with Draco didn't make any sense. He liked her, she liked him, and there should be nothing holding them back, she just wasn't sure how to talk to him, he was still so angry with her. Ginny sighed and thought, I'll leave it till tomorrow.
*********************
Draco was sill thinking about Ginny, even when he was with Sarah. Of course, Sarah was only to make Ginny jealous, but he didn't really enjoy it. Ginny was so much more than Sarah, and he wasn't afraid to admit that. Draco wanted to talk to Ginny, more than anything, but that damn Potter was always in his way. He seemed to be wherever Ginny was. Draco needed a plan to get to Ginny, and no one was better at scheming than Slytherins. Draco knew exactly what to do.
*********************
The next morning was Satuday, and one of the best days Hogwarts had ever seen. The sun was shining, but the tempeture wasn't too high. Ginny woke up early and dressed in some simple muggle cloths. She favored black because it went well with her hair. She decided on jeans and a black sweater. Ginny tied her hair up in a bun. She then decided to go down into the Great Hall for breakfast. The trio was already sitting at the end of the Gryfindor table, and Ginny went to join them.
"Hey guys" she said cheerfully.
"Hey" they all said at the same time.
"What are you planning to do today Gin?" Ron asked
"Not a clue." Gin said as she shrugged. "I'll probably just hang around outside, it's so nice out."
"Yeah, sounds good." Said Hermonie.
"But Gin, didn't you say you had some Transfiguration homework to catch up on?" Harry asked innocently. He was almost positive she would meet up with Draco if she was outside. The library seemed much safer to him. Ginny knew what he was doing, but couldn't see a way out of it. Ron and Hermonie would agree.
"I guess your right. I mean, I have so much to do, I was hoping to put it off till Sunday, but today would be better." Ginny sighed
"That's a good girl Gin." Said Ron cheerfully.
"Yes, grades are very important." Hermonie agreed. Ginny wanted to retort, but didn't. Instead she got up form the table, said her goodbyes and made her way to the library.
*************************
Draco was sitting with his so - called girlfriend at the Slytherin table across the hall from Ginny. He kept shooting her glances, but she wasn't really paying him much attention. Draco frowned. His plan was to make her jealous, and then make her his. Sarah was still blabbing on and on about her outfit, and Draco was naturally completely bored. Draco watched Ginny get up from the table and leave the Great Hall.
"Sarah, I have to go do some homework. I'll meet you later." Sarah frowned.
"Ok Draky sweetie. Give me a kiss." Draco leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the check.
"See you later darling." Sarah said to his retreating back.
"Unfortunatly" Draco muttered.
Draco continued his way following Ginny through the halls of the castle. He knew he had to keep enough distance behind her so she wouldn't see him, but not so much that he would lose her. After a few minutes of following her, he knew she was on her way to the library, he could tell from the route she was taking. Once she slipped into the library, Draco watched as she unpacked her bag on a table and began her homework. He decided to watch her for a moment. Her bun was coming lose, and he could see her scowling as she had to keep pushing a few strands of soft hair out of her eyes. He smiled, she had no idea how cute this was. Draco thought back to the day he kissed her for the first time. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't stop himself. Draco shook his head. He still couldn't believe he was falling for a Weasley, even with his father drumming prejudice into his head. Not all Malfoy's were horrible, but Lucius Malfoy was. Brock's mother was a Malfoy before she married, and she was nothing like his father. Draco constantly wished for his father to lossen his grip on his prejudice ways. Draco sighed, he wished for so many things.
Ginny scowled again as her pesky grown out bangs fell into her eyes once again. She had been trying to grow out her bangs for two years, but they still fell in her eyes constantly. She whisked them away once again, and concentrated on her Transfiguration work. Ginny didn't notice as some one sat across from her, but she did when they spoke.
"You look pretty busy there Ginny." The deep voice of Draco Malfoy said. Ginny looked up to seem him staring at her intently.
"Yeah, I'm pretty busy."
"I wanted to talk to you, about us."
"What us? I thought you and Sarah were pretty serious." Said Ginny coldly
"Your not exactly getting away from Potter yourself." Draco said in an equally cold voice.
"You are so childish. Just leave me be. I have to work." Said Ginny looking back at her work. Draco pulled the book away that she was looking at.
"I will not leave you alone. I can't stand this. I do not like Sarah, not like I like you." Ginny looked at Draco as he said this, and her eyes soften.
"And I don't think that I could ever feel the way I felt about you, even just for that week, about anyone else. Ginny, I've never had much love in my life, my father." Draco stopped, and Ginny noticed the sadness in his eyes. Draco continued. "that's besides the point. The point is, I've never been in love, but I think I could love you. I'm sorry about Sarah, it was just a stupid plan, but I never felt anything for her. I feel for you."
Ginny didn't know what to say. Draco Malfoy, who was cold and crule, was admitting his feelings for her. In a rush, Ginny felt such love for this boy she couldn't even understand. Ginny didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything. She simply got up went over to Draco, who got up as well, and fell into his arms which embraced her tightly. She leaned her head on his chest, and he rested his chin on her forhead. Ginny leaned up for a kiss from Draco, but was stoped by Draco putting a finger gently on her lips as if to quiet her.
"Not here. We'll go to my room. We can talk." Draco said. Ginny nodded. The two walked swiftly out of the library.
********************
After breakfast, Harry, Ron, and Hermonie had decided on a walk around the lake to take up some time. Next, the boys had insisted Hermonie watch as they play a quick game of quidditch. After that, the afternoon was spent, and Hermonie insisted they do homework. Harry and Ron agreed sulkily. As they walked there, the topic of Ginny came up.
"Do you think Gin's done with her Transfiguration yet?" Ron asked.
"If she's not I'll be surprised. But we're going to the library anyway, so we'll see her if she's not done." Said Hermonie. Harry simply nodded. The trio continued their way to the library. Once they got there, they looked around the tables for Ginny. Harry spotted some books sprawled out across a table, but no person there. Harry moved forward towards the table. He looked at the books, Tranfiguration; Level 5, Transfiguration and How to Manage It, and Transfiguration Through The Ages. Harry then looked at the paper that was being written and noticed Ginny's name in neat script at the top of it. Harry then saw Ginny's knapsack which had the initials GVW embroidered on it. Harry froze, then yelled
"Ron! Hermonie! I found Ginny's things, just no Ginny! Come quick!"
*********************************
After Ginny and Draco had left the library, Draco had lead Ginny down passages that she had never seen before. Apparently, they were passages towards the Slytherin common room. Once there, Draco lead Ginny quickly to his dorm. They were much designed like the Gryfindor dorms, but instead of a round room with beds, there was a round room with 4 different doors. Each door held a plaqe with a name. Ginny looked until her eyes rested on a plaque with the name "Draco Thomas Malfoy" etched on it.
"This is my dorm. My rooms over there, it would be better to talk in if you don't mind." Draco said.
"Sounds good." Ginny said. They entered Draco's room. It was almost exactly like the Gryfindor's rooms, except the bedding was green and there was a small sitting area in the room. Draco took his thick cloak off and started a fire in the fire place.
"Feel free to sit." He said
"Thanks." Ginny sat on an emerald green overstuffed chair. Draco sat in the chair across from her.
"So, what are we going to do, about us I mean?" Draco asked
"I'm not sure. My brother would kill me, and then you, and I'm sure your family wouldn't be too pleased." Ginny said sadly. Draco thought for a moment.
"I guess we'll just have to keep it secret for the time being. We can figure something out, and until then, we'll just keep it quiet." "God, this is so unfair. What's so wrong with us being together? I know your father.and my family. but still."
"Look, things aren't so bad. We'll figure something out." Draco said. Ginny looked at him.
"I don't want to have to figure something out damnit! I like you, and everyone is telling me I can't! I am so sick of this Draco!" Ginny yelled beginning to cry. "I don't want to have to keep us secret. I want to date you in public, like a normal pair." Draco quickly got up to hold Ginny. Ginny held onto him tightly.
"Shhh, don't cry. We'll deal ok? Let's just talk now. Let's get to know each other." Draco said soothingly. Ginny nodded and whipped her tears away. Ginny looked up at Draco with her huge blue eyes.
"Draco, what were you going to say about your father earlier?" Draco instantly stiffend aginst Ginny. Ginny noticed and reached to hold his hand. She took his large hand in her small one, and carresed it. Draco looked down at Ginny and said
"Sorry, not you, me. I always kind of tense up when my father is mentioned." Ginny nodded. Draco continued.
"My father isn't the greatest guy Gin, but I always admired him and loved him anyway. Sometimes, I know he doesn't love me, and it can get pretty hard to take. This last summer, I changed a lot. I learned so much, and then I met you. Brock's family isn't on the dark side, but they used to be. Now they're neutral. They taught me a lot. Kind of de - brainwashed me I guess."
"That makes sense, my mother said something like they were shady characters." Ginny whispered. Draco and her were sitting on his bed, and Draco was still holding Ginny.
For the next three hours Ginny and Draco talked non - stop. They laughed, and talked about nearly everything.
**************************
Meanwhile, Harry, Ron, and Hermonie were searching frantically for Ginny throughout the castle.
"Let's just go to Dumbledore Harry, he'll figure it out." Ron said
"No, she's probably just with a friend somewhere. We can't worry him about this." Harry said sternly. Ron nodded.
"Of course. I'm just worried." Ron said. "Let's just keep looking, she'll turn up eventually." Hermonie said. Harry smiled, always the voice of reason Herm was.
*************************
It was midnight when Ginny realized she must be expected back to her dorm by then. She and Draco had been talking for hours, and it hardly seemed like ten minutes. Ginny got up swiftly.
"Oh my gosh, Draco it's midnight. I have to go, I have to get back!" Ginny said frantically as she searched around the room for her cloak. Draco stared at her.
"Ginny, it's midnight, you can't go out now. It's dangerous, Flitch could find you!" Draco said exahperated.
"No, Draco you don't understand, Harry will - "
"This has something to do with Potter?"
"Well, no not really..kind of..but not what you think.."
"What is it then?" Draco asked moving towards her
"He, well, he saw a letter you sent me, and he didn't tell Ron, but he said I wasn't to see you again. That's why he's been hanging around so much. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but if I'm not back, he'll know. Oh god Draco, he's gonna kill me." Ginny sad worriedly. Draco was about an inch from her now, and he leaned down and gently kissed her. The kiss deepend and Ginny moaned and pulled away.
"Draco no. We can't, stop." Ginny said breathlessly pushing Draco away. Draco wrapped his hands around Ginny's waist and whispered
"If you really want me to stop I will, but I don't think you do."
Ginny looked up at him. She didn't want him to stop but.she couldn't make excusses, instead she lifted up her chin to meet her lips with his. As the kiss deepend, Draco gently pushed Ginny over to his bed, and layed on top of her. Ginny moaned put pushed Draco off her a bit as he began to unbutton her shirt.
"I don't want to do anything we'll regret." She said softly. Draco groaned and closed his eyes for a second before saying
"I know, it's just so hard."
Ginny smiled and gently kissed him again before cuddiling up to him and drifting of to sleep. Draco smiled, even through his frustration, and thought "I love her".
At midnight, the trio finally decided to get some sleep. In the morning they would continue their search. No one knew what a hectic day the next would be.
