Pick Me.
by: virtualfaerie
Ginny was sitting outside by the lake holding a flower in her hand. She was picking the petals away slowly, saying, "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not."
She had a pile near her legs when she picked off the last dewy petal: "He loves me not."
She smiled sadly at the stem left resting in her fingers and let it drop on the small pile of white petals.
She looked up when a shadow fell across her; it was Draco standing over her. She brought a hand up and shielded her eyes from the sun, squinting. "Malfoy," she said, her voice devoid of any emotion.
"You're out here again, Weasley," Draco said, taking a seat next to her on the lush green grass. He looked at the fallen petals and rolled his eyes. "And that again."
"Yes, again."
"What did he do now?" Draco asked stiffly.
"The usual invisibility," she paused for a moment. "And Hermione."
Draco resisted a snort and settled for a sneer. "I can't believe you're still pining over that bespeckled git."
Ginny half smiled at him and kicked a foot at the petals, scattering them.
Draco took her hand and made her pick up some of the remaining petals and made her throw them up in the air. Draco's hand tightened over hers and she looked at him cautiously. He brought his lips to the back of her hand and kissed it softly.
He picked up another flower and handed it to her, standing up. "Try again," he said, and walked off.
Ginny smiled and started picking the petals. "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not…"
The last petal.
"He loves me."
