Chapter 5 "Dances With Dragons" and Flaming Hot Passions
"So?"Mariesii asked Ginny expectantly as Ginny finished putting her robes on that morning.
"So what?" Ginny asked, trying to sound completely clueless as to what it was that Mariesii wanted to know.
Last night? You and Malfoy studying? Was it complete torture?" she asked, wanting to know all of the details.
"Actually, no. We had a lot to talk about," Ginny said. Mariesii began to laugh at her, "What?" she asked, causing Mariesii to stop.
"Come on! You and Malfoy had things to talk about? That's a little hard to believe," she noted as she grabbed her bag and began to follow Ginny out of their dorm room.
"Well go on finding that hard to believe if you wish, but it's true," Ginny said frankly as she exited the Gryffindor Common room with Mariesii on her tail. Finally making it to the Great Hall, the two of them went over and took their seats at Gryffindor's table. The food appeared on their plates and they began to eat, but every once in a while Ginny stopped to make a glance over at the Slytherin table.
"Could you be any more obvious, Gin?" Mariesii whispered over to her, causing Ginny to jump and alert her eyes onto Mariesii's face.
"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked in an embarrassed tone. Her ears and cheeks both turned light shades of pink.
"Your obvious new found infatuation with Draco," she added matter of factly. Ginny muttered for her to keep her voice down.
"I don't know what you are talking about! Now, if you'll excuse me," Ginny said as she got up from the table and exited the Great Hall. She felt a tap on her shoulder, and she spun around.
"Er, hey Ginny. I thought you might like this," Draco said as he handed her a pocket sized version of "Dances With Dragons". Ginny smiled as she took it from him.
"Thank you!" she said happily as she went to give him a hug. He went rigid, and she pulled away.
"Ms. Weasley trying to hug me? That's something you don't see every day," he mocked her. The happiness soon left her face as Draco walked off, leaving her standing there in bewilderment. Sighing, she slipped the picture in her back pocket, only to notice something foreign dwelling in the same place.
"What?" she asked as she pulled the unknown object out of her pocket. It was a picture of Draco that she had taken that night when he won the Quidditch game, but how had it gotten in her pocket? She looked up and watched as Jasmine Wolfe continued off on Draco's path. Jasmine turned around abruptly and faced Ginny.
"Remember," she said, and she turned and continued on walking down the same hall. Frowning, Ginny slipped the Picture of Draco, and the painting Draco had given her into her back pocket and made her way towards her next class.
"Will you ever be on time, Ms. Weasley?" Professor Perry asked as Ginny Weasley walked into his room. Draco looked up from his new spot that had been arranged in a secluded corner of the room and watched as she walked over to her seat.
"I'm sorry, Professor Perry," she blushed as she looked over in Draco's direction. He smirked as he turned his face back down to the paper that was on his desk. Professor Perry went on with is daily lesson. Draco glanced up again in Ginny's direction. He could see the outline of the painting he had given her in her pocket. He sneered. How could she think that she could hug him just because he gave her a painting? It had no significant meaning. None what so ever! He glanced down suddenly and pretended that he had been working on his paper as Ginny glanced over at him. She actually thought she had the right to look at him? She was so Weasley-like.
"Now I expect you to get to work now. If any of you need help," Professor Perry stated with a look directly at Ginny, "Mr. Malfoy here can instruct you with what to do," he added as he walked over to his own desk and began to work on some of the many piles of paper that cluttered his desk. Ginny's hand floated almost instantly into the air.
He was staring at her? Why? She kept asking herself as she lifted her hand reluctantly into the air for Draco's help. He sauntered over to her table.
"Yes, Ms. Weasley?" The words seemed to roll almost sarcastically off of his tongue as he said them, causing Ginny to wince a bit.
"I need your help," she swore she heard him mutter 'as usual' under her breath, causing her to resent the fact that se had even bothered to try to get help from him. She explained to him exactly what it was that she needed help with, and she could feel his eyes burn into her every time she wasn't looking directly at him. He made her extremely edgy and uncomfortable. He was so arrogant also, it made her almost sick to be within close vicinity of him.
"Hopefully that got somewhere into your thick skull," he insulted as he walked off and sat back down in his seat. She snapped her drawing pencil in half from anger. Quickly hiding it, she went back on doing her work, hoping that no one had noticed.
It was around 7:30, and Ginny found it time to head over towards Professor Perry's room. After about ten minutes of listening to Mariesii's constant teasing, she made her way into his classroom.
"Bring your glasses, Malfoy?" sneered Ginny unhappily. She found no need to be nice to him during that particular moment.
"What's wrong with you? Did you catch Cho and Harry in the hall?" he taunted. She threw her book at him, which he caught. "Ooh, someone's got a temper!" he laughed as she took a seat in front of him.
"Let's just get today over with, okay?" she managed to get through her gritted teeth. Draco flashed her a smirk.
"Oh, but I only want to spark some interesting conversation between us!" he mocked, doing his best 'innocent Ginny' impression that he could muster up.
"What's your problem, Malfoy? Do you always have to be such a jerk?" she asked him as she pulled her books out of her bag.
"Well I try," he smirked, as he leaned carelessly back in his chair and propped his feet up on the desk. Instinctively, Ginny pulled it out from underneath him, causing him to crash to the floor. She laughed.
"Oops? Did I do that? My bad," she said as she opened her books to the designated chapter. As Draco began to collect himself from the floor, his glasses that he had carelessly left on the table caught her eye. She grabbed at them and put them on.
"Give those back, Ginny," Draco demanded. Ginny looked up at him and smiled while she played with them on her face.
"Oh, come on, don't you think I look just so cute in them? I don't think you even really need them," she added as she made the comparison with and without the glasses on.
"Give them back Ginny," he demanded again, getting closer to her. He snatched them off of her face.
"Gosh, sorry. I was only having some fun," Draco looked deeply insulted. He put his glasses on his face and opened his books up also. "Draco, I.." she started again, but he turned away from her. She walked over to stand in front of him and got down on her knees to be almost level with his face. "Draco. I'm sorry, I didn't think that it would upset you that much," she said, looking into his eyes. She put her hands up to his face to adjust his glasses for him, and then she leaned in and pressed her lips against his. It was short, because she pulled away the second she had done it. Her face turned deep red, and his just broke out into a deep smirk. " I just remembered that there was this thing I needed to go to. Er, right!" she said as she turned and ran from the classroom. Was she completely nuts? She hadn't just done what she thought she had, had she? She continued walking until she made her way into the Gryffindor Common Room where she found Mariesii waiting for her.
"Wow, you're back a lot earlier than I had expected? What happened?" she asked curiously. Ginny began to fidget with her hands behind her back.
"Wow, did you see that the next Quidditch game will be Gryffindor against Ravenclaw?? Wont that be interesting?" Ginny asked as she pulled the flyer down from the wall, trying to divert Mariesii's attention elsewhere.
"Ginny? What aren't you telling me?" Mariesii asked expectantly, tapping her foot at Ginny like a mother does to a disobedient child.
"Don't make me say it, because if I don't say it I might wake up tomorrow and realize that it didn't happen. I'm tired, g'night!" she said, but Mariesii grabbed onto her arm. "Okay, but this had better stick between the two of us. I mean NOBODY better find out," Mariesii made an x with her finger over her heart, "I kissed him," she groaned as she plopped down on the couch.
"You WHAT?" snapped Mariesii. She looked at Ginny in disbelief, as she had done many times before.
"I kissed him. It only lasted like a millisecond, but I did it, and then I ran out of that room and came straight here," she said as she placed her hands in her palms. Mariesii began to laugh, causing Ginny to glare up at her.
"I'm sorry, but I mean this is one of those times where I get to say 'I told you so'!" Mariesii said as she directed Ginny up and into their dorm room. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," she added one last time before the two of them blew out the candles and went to bed.
"So?"Mariesii asked Ginny expectantly as Ginny finished putting her robes on that morning.
"So what?" Ginny asked, trying to sound completely clueless as to what it was that Mariesii wanted to know.
