Hand me down
A/N: I'm glad that some people like it! Thanks everyone for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters in the series. They all belong to J. K. Rowling. And the stories kinda based on a Matchbox 20 song. When I say kinda I mean, I got the idea from it, but that may not be what the songs about (I'm bad at song meanings)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The comment that Draco had told Ginny went over and over in her mind the next day. What did he mean by it? That she was a hand me down? Sure, everything she owned had been owned by someone before, but she had never really been owned by Colin. A person can't really own another person, can they? 'Well, you can own house elves and animals.' She thought to herself. After she was tired of thinking of Draco's words, she left her room and headed to the Great Hall, where the smell of eggs and bacon were coming from.
"Hey, Ginny." Ron waved to her. Hermione sat beside him, head in a book, and Harry sat on the other side. Colin was next to him. "Come sit over here." He called to her. Pretending like she didn't hear him, she headed over to the Ravenclaw table. She thought about sitting with some of her Ravenclaw friends, but the real reason she went over there was because it was right beside the Slytherin table. She didn't know why, but she wanted to see Draco.
He was surrounded by other Slytherins, talking. Ginny sat backwards, facing the Slytherins, her hands resting on the table behind her. Occasionally she would say something to her friend beside her, but she kept on looking at the pale Slytherin boy. She continued staring at him for a while unnoticed, but then, as he got up to smack his friend across the table, he saw her.
Ginny turned around quickly in her seat, hoping that he wouldn't say anything. Why did she have to go over there in the first place? "Weasley!" She heard his voice yell. Immediately, she rose from her seat, and walked back to the Gryffindor table. Draco, seeing her get up and ignore him, got up himself. When she got to the Hufflepuff table, Draco had caught up to her.
She lowered her head. "What?" She quietly asked.
"What were you doing over there?" He asked, as if she'd been down Knockturn Alley. Shocked that he asked this, she didn't say anything. She was expecting a mean remark about her or her family.
"Can't I sit with my Ravenclaw friends?" She asked.
His trademark smirk appeared. "Didn't look like you were doing much talking to them." She looked down at her feet and turned back to face the Gryffindor table. Draco ran in front of her to block her from going any further. "Why were you really over there?" He asked.
"I don't know!" She exclaimed. "Now move!"
He stepped closer to her, making her take one back. "You can't not know when you do something." He whispered to her.
Ginny didn't know what was going on. It was like something that she would read in a book or watch on her muggle TV at home. She felt like she was about to melt as Draco kept stepping forward. "I wanted to see you, is that what you wanted to hear?" She asked him, stopping her steps backwards.
He looked down at her. "And what makes you think I'd want to see a worthless hand me down Weasley, like you?" He asked. Then walked back to his own table. Ginny smiled. If he didn't want to see her, then why did he go after her in the first place?
With those thoughts in her mind, she went over to her table and sat in front of her brother. "Hullo." She smiled.
"Why didn't you come over when I called you?" Ron asked, a little ticked off.
She shrugged and looked over at the Slytherin table. "What are you looking at, Ginny?" Harry asked slowly. He was afraid to talk to her after yesterdays events with Malfoy, afraid that she was upset with him. He didn't know how to act now.
"Well, I think..." She started, looking at Malfoy. "That I like someone."
Hermione smiled, looking up from her book, and Harry looked shocked. "Already, eh?" Ron smiled.
"Who is it?" Colin asked from beside Harry, looking happy. Happy that Ginny wasn't sad anymore.
Ginny just smiled. "Like I'm going to tell any of you." She said getting up. "Besides, I don't know if he likes me. And, if he's being honest, he doesn't." She informed them, skipping away to her first class.
She didn't see Draco for the rest of the day. He wasn't in any of her classes, like Colin was, and she didn't see him walking in the halls. Feeling a bit upset that she didn't see him, she went out to the lake. Her knees were tucked up to her chest as she looked out to the setting sun. School books were spread across the grass, sitting on top of half finished homework that she had been working on earlier.
"And here you are again." A voice behind her sighed. Smiling, she turned her head to see the face that she had wanted to gaze on all day. "I'm not even going to ask what you're doing here, Weasley. I'm just going to leave."
"I'm looking at the sunset." She told him as he turned. Gathering her things, she stood up. "It's beautiful. You should take the time to look at it." She said, walking beside him.
He looked at her like she was crazy. "I don't do sunsets."
"Well, what do you do?" She asked. He was about to say something, when she tripped over a root that was sticking up out of the ground. Expecting to smack into the ground, Ginny held out her hands to catch herself from falling, but the fall never finished. Before she knew it, Draco had grabbed her and was handing her books back to her. "Thank you." She blushed, brushing a strained of red hair behind her ears.
He rolled his eyes. "Don't thank me." He told her. "I was just getting quidditch practice in my schedule today." Then they started off again.
"Even though you try and act like it, your not such a bad guy." She told him, walking behind.
He stopped and turned to her. "And how do you know what I'm like?" He demanded. Not answering, Ginny just stood in front of him. "That's what I thought." He smirked at her. Her eyes looked everywhere but at him. 'Why do I do this?' She asked herself. 'Always after someone out of your reach. Draco's already made it clear that he doesn't like me. No one likes me.'
"Draco," She started slowly, walking at a slow pace behind him.
"What now?" He snapped. "Weasley," He walked down to her. "I swear if you say my name again, I'll," Before he could finish, Ginny did something she would never to. Once he was close enough, she went up to him and gave him a kiss. Draco was to shocked to know what was going on, as was Ginny. When they broke apart, he just stood still like a statue. Instead of waiting for Draco to snap out of his trance, she started running off to the castle.
It was already dark when she reached the door. She slowly opened the doors, hoping not to run into Filch or Mrs. Norris. When she reached the top of the steps inside, she heard the door open. Looking over the rail in a shadow, she saw Draco walk to the dungeons. Looking at him, she couldn't help but think what would happen tomorrow.
A/N: Hmm... are they being out of character or is it just me that thinks that? Oh well, this is just for fun, not meant to be like the real thing anyway. That's part two. I guess there will be three parts. Please r/r!
