* My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall *

Ginny Weasley sat at her kitchen table.Her tea in the cup in front of her had gotten cold.She felt positively horrible and wondered why she had gotten out of bed at all. She stared blankly out of her window,watching the rain clouds form into

hat would be a fierce storm later on. Ginny glanced around her kitchen.It was quite cozy.The only thing that seemed out of place was the picture of Draco Malfoy.

* I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day*

Her head ached from the amount of alcohol she had drunk the night before.Ginny rose and went to her kitchen pantry and got an aspirin.Ginny gulped it down with her icy tea.She glanced at the clock.10:30.She'd definitely missed the bus and she

as two hours late for work.There will be hell to pay tomorrow because she hadn't phoned in sick.It didn't matter to her.Even if she was there,her co-workers would imply that she might leave early any way.She might as well make use of her time.She sat ba

down at her table and pulled the stack of bill toward her.Her head throbbed.A knock on the door startled her.She rose from the table and went to answer the door.Ginny stopped and studied her reflection in the hall mirror.She looked like hell.Her hair s

ck out every which way, her eyes were bloodshot and puffy, and she wasn't dressed.Ginny walked toward the door,each step causing her head to pound even worse.She pulled the door open,shocked to see Draco there.

"Hello,"Ginny said,not quite sure what to say.

"Hi.May I come in?"Draco asked,shaking his wet hair out of his eyes.

"Sure,"Ginny said and stepped back to let him in.

Draco stepped into her home and removed his jacket,which he hung on a peg.

"Well,um,how are things with you?"she asked,to cover the awkward since.

"Fine,"Draco said and then added,"You don't look well.A day on the town is what you need."

"Huh?"Ginny said,confused.

"I'm here to take you out for a day,"Draco said with a smile.

"How sweet.I'll go get ready,"Ginny said and walked down the hall,her bathrobe billowing out behind her.
