Chapter 7

*We all know who this belongs to ^^;;*
~*~ Draco ~*~
I frowned slightly and strolled impatiently near the school entrance, my hand holding a... I don't know... But it feels like a bouquet of flowers. What the hell was I doing with a bouquet of flowers anyways?!
For how long I stood there walking around, I did not know, though I heard footsteps soon and I looked over where the entrance was. The door opened up slowly and out stepped an angel. A red haired beauty with her face flushed as if she had been running. She waved happily at me and feeling nervous, I walked towards her slowly.
She opened her mouth and said something that looked awfully like Happy Valentine's Day.
I grinned and felt myself open my mouth too. Then slowly, I gave her the white roses I got for her. I saw her squeal, then kiss my lips softly. Her eyes were shining with love and happiness, glowing with glee. Then I felt my arms wrap around her once again, smelling her hair... It smelled like spring flowers mixed.
I felt her arms around me and I felt her mumble something in my chest that I could not hear. I was deaf to everything... It was weird... She looked up again at me, smiling once again, and I smiled. I smiled to her again. I'm going insane.
Beep! Beep!
What in the fucking hell...? My eyes snapped open at the sound of the alarm clock. Great, just great. Just fucking great. I was having a nice dream too.
To say I was frustrating was an understatement. Who was 'Tom'? Or if I'm not mistaken, it had to be Tom Riddle, otherwise known as Voldermort to the rest of the world. What the hell was wrong with Virginia yesterday? She was bloody fine and kissed me on the cheek, then she collapsed in the middle of the hallway and started talking to herself.
If I didn't know any better, I'd swear she was insane. Why she insisted she was fine, I would never know. She told me she was fine, told me it was nothing, but I could sense her fear, I could feel her body shaking like crazy when my arms were around her waist, supporting her. Damn Voldermort.
I ran my hand in my hair, hoping that I would be able to talk with Virginia today. It's Saturday, so naturally, I should have free time and she should too, which means... Well, a talking session. For this week anyways.
I wore some muggle clothes I bought during the summer. A grey sweater and a pair of baggy jeans that Lucius absolutely despised, but hey, that's the main reason why I'm wearing it. I walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast and sat in my normal seat. I saw Blaise raise his eyebrow at me. Without even glancing at him, I cast a glance at Virginia who was not the only one was staring at me.
I looked at her for a mere few minutes until she understood me, with a nod, she looked back down at her breakfast. She looked absolutely horrible. Blaise must've seen her the same as I saw her, "What's wrong with her?" He asked.
I shrugged and started eating breakfast.
When breakfast ended, I was the first was to stand up, it would be a bother to push through all the moronic students to get out the Great Hall. The second I had gotten out, I turned around and walked towards the lake.
Almost like yesterday, I sat down by the lake, thinking. The dreams were almost scary, even I had to admit that. I mean, hell. Virginia and I were just friends. And I bet we fucked up on the Veritaserum. No way in hell did I even like Virginia in the slightest ways. She was a Weasley, and I was a Malfoy, as easy as that.
Then why did you befriend her? Hmm?
Oh shut up, you.
Hmm?
A friend, she's a friend. Besides, Malfoys don't believe in love.
Well, the potion never said you loved her, it said you liked her. There's a big difference, you moron.
Oh shut up.
For the first time in my life, I had lost and argument to someone. And that someone was my brain. Sad, I know. For long minutes that felt like an eternity, I sat there, watching as the grass are being moved by the wind, the leaves are swirling and fluttering down, in colours of red, orange and yellow. Unlikely for Draco Malfoy do look at such things, but I love the nature.
But I also love the night. The darkness and the shadow that surrounds everywhere. Everyplace. I can suddenly feel someone looking at me, a familiar feeling, and without a single doubt, I knew exactly who it was. "G'morning, Virginia."
"Morning, Draco."
~*~ Ginny ~*~
"Morning, Draco." I said to his back, then looked out to the fields. "How are you today?" I saw him shrug and I frowned, "What's the matter?" When he didn't answer me, I guessed, "Is it the Slytherins?" Shake head, "Sleepless night?" Shake head, "Er... Nightmare?" Shake head.
He turned around slightly, the corner of his eyes looking straight at me, "It's the dreams again."
I felt my breath quicken. It had to be a coincidence, right? I mean... Draco Malfoy couldn't be having the same dreams as me... Can he?
Of course not! You're such an idiot, Ginny.
* * * * *
Days passed with normal occurrences... Then weeks... And before I knew it, a whole month has passed. And it was nearing the Halloween dance. Of course, I wasn't about to go with anyone. And thank god the voice in my head stopped. I think it was just that one time that Tom had gotten into my mind and spoke with me.
He scared me.
The other day, at the lake when Draco didn't feel too well and when he told me he was having dreams... It freaked me out, of course.
Well, half of me was jumping up and down, jumping to the
conclusion that Draco Malfoy was dreaming of me and I was happy. I rolled my eyes mentally. Okay, so
what? I had a little crush on Draco
Malfoy, the big ferret. But so does the
other ninety-five percent of the population.
Heck, even ninety-eight.
What makes me think he's going to pick me? Of course, I wanted to go to the Halloween
dance with Draco Malfoy, but as far as I know, he's not going. He told me yesterday, what a shame. I guess I should stay back in my room and
finish reading The Two Towers.
Yeah, I should definitely do that.
Then another thought entered my head.
Or maybe you should do your Defence Against the Dark Arts Essay you're suppose to hand in next week.
Yeah, I should definitely start my Essay.
* * * * *
It was Halloween tonight and well, everyone's gone to the dance. All years welcomed. I must've been the only one in the Gryffindor Tower... Even Neville went to the dance. I don't know who he went with though, I could absolutely care less.
I took out my quill and a parchment, and started flipping through my textbook, finding the page and skimmed through the chapter, all the while thinking of what to write. For half an hour, I was skimming through the pages, and then, the second I put my quill on my parchment...
And it started flowing out. I began taking notes about my essay and for two minutes, I went on like that, without looking at my paper, just looking at my book. When I finally looked at it...
Your beautiful grey eyes,
As deep as the sea,
It sucks me in,
By just looking at them...
"What the hell...?" I asked, freaked out. Yet I had to admit, it was a lot better that the poem I wrote during my first year to Harry... But... I swear I was taking notes about the essay and not writing a poem about Draco!
I sighed and muttered under my breath, "It must be a spell he cast on me. I can't be that obsessed with him. Jeez, I shouldn't even like him in the first place. We're totally opposite... Not to mention our families hate one another... And we're friends..." I sighed again, "But then again, opposites attract."
"Man this is so annoying."
I was set on finishing my essay, so forcefully, I pushed away all the thoughts
I was having about Draco... Though I
still have small thoughts of him once in a while.
In an hour in a half, I finished the essay, then I looked at the clock. It was already 10:11. The dance was going to end at eleven o'clock, which meant I had around fifty minutes left. Good.
I threw on my cloak, then cleaning up all my stuff, although I don't know why I bothered, I left my room and started towards the lake, where I was bound to have some problems and thoughts solved.
Well, it seemed like I was also bound to be wrong, for when I reached the lake... Who do you think I saw? Yeah, of course... Draco Malfoy.
The start of my problems. With him around, I doubt that any of my thoughts would be solved. He looked up at me and gave me a nod, I returned one and slowly, I walked beside him and we both stood there in complete silence... A comfortable silence though.
Maybe I was right at the beginning... Maybe I would get some thoughts solved.

midnight moon – He tells later =\ Thanks!
SAngel – Thanks!
Hitomi – I'm from Canada ^^ Yeah, I'm trying not to be stressed, my socials test is coming up... And I'm about to kill myself, of course ^^ Virginia is Ginny's full name and Draconis is Draco's full name ^^ G'night!
frananddragon – lol... Thanks! Nope... It's Tom. But I might switch it around a bit so it's just her hearing Tom's voice instead of Tom really talking to her. The story might get too complicated. Argh. Ron's still a bloody moron like usual ^^ 'No More Dreams', I might change the name around a bit, but it does have a meaning =\ French book? Shits everywhere? Lol! Yeah...Prefects... I keep forgetting =\ Later and thanks again!
jane-valar – lol...
I liked that line too ^^ And
I'll take my time slowly ^^ Thanks!
Miss. Charlet – It's an absolute D/G.
That's the only ship that I'm obsessed about ^^ In my opinion, Ginny belongs to Draco
=\
Jade Stellar – Hehehe... Thanks! Hope you enjoy this one!
midnight moon – Doubt that Ginny's gonna go mental... I still need her for the two sequels, lol!
Jem13 – Becoming more... human ^^ I like that too. Think like real people? Ah... Cool ^^ They're realistic then ^^ Speeding it up? I might think of doing that, but keep in mind that they both try to deny their feelings for one another cause one's a Malfoy and the other's a Weasley. *rolls eyes* But I would care less about that if I fell in love with an enemy. Unfortunately, Ginny's not me =\ This is the prequel to 'Summer Dreams' and 'No More Dreams', and it will end in a tragic ending. I am promising this.
