(A/N: I had to change Andrew's name to Ryan, because I know Laura wouldn't
be very happy about it . . . lol! For those of you who know me; you'll
know what I'm talking about ;))
The following day, Ginny was the first to wake up in her dormitory. She quietly changed and went to the great hall to have breakfast. As she entered the great hall she spotted Draco and gave him a little wave then went to sit next to Colin.
"Hey Ginny, sleep well?" asked Colin.
"Yeah, I did actually," she replied, grinning.
"Cool."
Just as Ginny was about to start eating, an owl came and dropped a note on the table in front of her. It was from her mother.
Dear Ginny, How was the trip to Hogwarts, dear? Your father and I miss you already! I'm just writing to let you know that we'll be thinking of you and wishing you good luck for the year! Hopefully we'll see you during the Christmas holidays! Love you, Mum
"Your mum worried about you already?" asked Colin.
Ginny laughed and said, "Probably, I've got no older brothers here to look after me this year. I can look after myself; I just wish mum could understand that! Oh well."
"Don't worry about it. You should tell her about you and Draco. I saw you two go somewhere after dinner last night," he said, raising his eyebrows.
"Oh! No, we just went for a walk that's all . . . I'm serious!" she added, seeing the look on Colin's face.
Colin just laughed and continued eating his breakfast. Ginny looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Draco talking about something to Crabbe and Goyle. She still didn't understand why he'd hang around with such idiots.
As she got up to go to prepare for her first class, which was Potions with the Slytherins, she spotted Jenny and Laura accompanied by James and Chris walk through the doors to the great hall.
"Hey girls," she greeted them.
"Hey Gin," said Jenny and Laura at the same time.
"What did you girls get up to last night?" asked Ginny, grinning.
They all blushed, then Jenny said, "This is James and Chris, Ginny. Have you ever met before?"
"Hey," replied Ginny. "I don't think we have met before, but I've definitely seen you guys around."
"Yeah," said James.
"Nice to meet you. Ginny, was it?" asked Chris.
"Yep."
They all just stood there for a while until Ginny said, "Anyway, I'm gonna go and get ready for class. See you all soon."
"Seeya."
******
As Ginny walked down the corridor, to the Potions classroom, she spotted Draco and gave him a big hug. "Hey Draccie!"
"Hey Virginia," he replied. "Please don't call me that name!"
"Sorry, only if you don't call me Virginia."
"I only called you that because you called me Draccie," he emphasised the last word.
"Sorry," she said, hugging him again. "I need to talk to you about something later, OK?"
"Sure. I'll see you after class."
"Here comes Snape."
Draco looked behind him and sure enough, Snape was walking towards where they were standing, and looking at the Gryffindors as though they were all something very foul.
"Draco, what are you doing hanging around a Gryffidor?" sneered Professor Snape. "You should be over there with all the other Slytherins."
Draco didn't reply, but walked into the classroom.
After the lesson, Draco pulled Ginny into an empty classroom and gave her a long kiss. When Ginny pulled away she said softly, "Draco, I have to tell you something. I think we're taking things a bit too quickly."
"What do you mean we're taking things too quickly?" replied Draco. "I thought you loved me."
When Ginny heard these words she froze. Did she love him? Sure, she'd always thought he was really good-looking, but did she love him?
"What's wrong? Don't you love me?" said Draco, getting angry.
"It's just that . . . I think we should slow down a bit. Just for now."
"Don't do this to me, Virginia. If you don't love me just tell me!"
"I don't know what I feel right now. It's just, everything's happened suddenly."
"Fine," Draco growled, before storming out of the classroom and slamming the door behind him.
Ginny collapsed onto the ground, crying and thinking about what she'd just done. Did she love Draco Malfoy?
******
Late that night, Draco lay in his bed thinking about what had happened in the empty classroom. "Bloody Weasleys'," he thought. "They always want to have things their way."
Ginny was still crying into her pillow. Suddenly she felt someone beside her, it was Jenny.
"Gin, are you alright?"
Ginny didn't answer, just cried into her best friend's shoulder.
******
The following morning at breakfast, Ginny kept looking at Draco, making sure he couldn't catch her looking at him.
"Look at him over there," whispered Laura, into Ginny's ear. "You don't need him."
This only brought tears to Ginny's eyes again. She looked at him again; she couldn't help herself, she ran out of the Great Hall, tears steaming down her face, all the way to her dormitory where she collapsed onto her bed and cried until her friends came up to see her just before lunch.
"Aww, come on Gin," said Jenny, as she walked over to Ginny's bed. "It's alright."
"No! It's not alright! I stuffed everything up! It's all my fault!"
"Hey, don't talk like that," said Laura.
"He wanted to know where you were," said Jenny. As she said this, Ginny looked up at her. "He wants to talk to you. He said he'd meet you near the lake after class, that's if you want to."
"Thanks, you guys. Tell him I'll be there. I'll come down for lunch in a second."
