Chapter II : Egypt
It was confirmed that they were going to Egypt. Ginny was very excited. It's only a week away! She skipped along the corridors, not bothering if the Slytherins threw her a book. Draco stopped in front of her and asked, "What makes you so HAPPY?"
"You concern?" asked Ginny, chuckling. "I'm going to Egypt by boat, and I heard you are going to Hawaii?" Draco raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, yes."
"Great! A WHOLE month without seeing your monkey face!" Ginny said, happily. "No trouble, and no YOU!!" She skipped away. Draco sighed. He wanted Ginny to be with him always. What was he thinking? Draco shook his head mentally.
"Goyle," he said. Gregory came running towards him and asked, "What is it?"
"We aren't going to Hawaii, we are going to Egypt by boat," Draco told him at once. Goyle looked at him in confusion, but didn't say anything else. He then looked at Ginny's direction. Ginny was talking to Harry, and was rather laughing. Harry wasn't really laughing, but he smiled a bit. Draco felt a huge swoop of anger go into him. He clenched his hand, and he muttered, "What am I doing?"
"I wouldn't answer that," Goyle said, frightened. "You are angry."
Draco didn't reply. From the moment he had seen Ginny talking to Harry, he was very angry.
Draco Malfoy passed Ginny, and glared at her. Ginny never really understood why Draco was like this. Sometimes he's kind, sometimes like a tiger. But she did know that Draco almost killed a human being because of his anger. His anger is very dangerous, and once he is, you have to sacrifice to everything that he is going to do.
"What are you glaring at?" shouted Ginny through the hall. Draco stopped from walking and turned sharply. "If I want to glare, I glare!"
"What makes you so angry?!" Ginny shouted. Draco glared at her once more and said, "Your actions makes me angry!!"
Ginny gasped in shock and barked, "I didn't even do a single thing to you today!"
"So why do you ask if I glared?!" asked Malfoy. Ginny put her hands on her hips and roared, "Glaring is nasty! I hate it when people glare!"
"So?! As if I cared," Draco said, and scowled. Ginny rolled her eyes and walked off. Draco smirked and thought that Ginny cared for him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry, Ginny, Cho, Ron, and Hermione finally were facing a large boat named C.C. Coast. Hermione screamed and said, "It's beautiful!!! We rented it, and it's to ourselves!"
Cho and Harry laughed together. Ron flung his arms around Ginny and asked, "Isn't it great, Gin? Second time going foreign?"
Ginny nodded, smiling. Then a group of three people came slowly into view. Two was large, and one was tall and muscular. Malfoy?!
"What in the world are you guys doing here?!" Ginny said at once. Draco smirked and said, "We decided not to go to Hawaii!"
"Too bad," Ron said, scowling. "We rented this boat. Now, go away." Draco laughed and said, "You rented it, but I bought it." Ron gulped and backed away. Cho shook her head and said, "Okay. All aboard. And everyone, I forgot to tell you. We are going to have a party, celebrating Hermione's birthday. EVERYONE is invited."
"You mean even this dragon?" asked Ginny, pointing at Draco. Cho looked at Hermione, who nodded, and said, "Everyone. Even that dragon."
Draco glared at Cho.
"IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!" Ginny roared, as she entered a room. The seats were soft, and you could see the whole view of the ocean. The curtains were as soft as pillow, and the walls were so pearly peach. Everything in that room came from heaven. Ginny bounced on the sofa and laughed. Hermione sat next to her and said, "We three are going to stay here! This is the best birthday gift ever!!"
Cho giggled. "Okay. We girls will rest for a while, and then fix ourselves for the party. We will all need to be glamorous. You guys sure you bought Muggle dresses?"
"I did," Hermione said, and looked at Ginny, who looked confused. "I'm sorry, Gin. I didn't tell you right away." Ginny nodded and understood. "It's okay. I'll not join the party."
"Yes, you will!! I am going to lend you one!!" Cho said, and went out of sight. Ginny tried to stop her, but it was too late. Cho then came in front of her and showed her a long green, silky dress. It was marvelous. It had dark green beads that glittered. Hermione gasped and said, "Wow."
"I am going to give it to you," Cho said, laying the dress on Ginny's lap. Ginny looked at Cho with bright eyes and said, "I'm going to have it? No-no way."
"Yes way," Cho said, grinning. "It's yours."
Ginny stood up at once and hugged Cho very tightly. "Thank you," Ginny whispered. Cho patted her back and said, "You are very welcome."
Ginny finally let go. She couldn't help grinning. Cho clapped her hands together and said, "C'mon, let's get decorating ourselves."
Cho began brushing Ginny's hair with an expensive brush in the bathroom. They were both facing the mirror. The whole bathroom is almost full with make up. Ginny looked at Cho in the mirror. 'Maybe she is not bad at all. She's very kind, and very beautiful. She deserves Harry.' She thought. Ginny frowned a little and grinned a bit. Cho then began complimenting her. "Your hair is very soft and straight," said Cho. "It's very nice to arrange it."
"And," she continued. "Your skin is very clear and soft, too. Nice to make up."
Ginny grinned. "What's up with Hermione?"
"The birthday girl is making herself beautiful," said Cho, smiling. She took a lipstick and said, "Soft pink will do for you." Then after a few improvements, Ginny was forced to put on the dress. She gulped as she entered the bedroom, and had put it on. It fit exactly with her. And it was beautiful on her. She glanced at the mirror and muttered, "Is this me?"
She grinned and walked out. Cho clapped her hands, shouting, "Please welcome Miss Ginny Weasley!! WOO!!"
"Beautiful," Hermione said, happily, who was wearing a blue, periwinkle dress. Her hair was once again in an elegant bun. Cho, however, was wearing a black dress, and her hair was also in a bun, with a few strands of it in on both sides of her face. She was very beautiful.
"C'mon, then!" Cho said, happily, as she opened the door. The three of them walked outside the room and headed towards a big room.
The whole room was filled with circular tables, and in the center was loads of food. An orchestra was by the far right side. Ron and Harry were there, wearing simple, formal Muggle clothes. Draco and his friends were in their formal attire too. Even though Ginny hated him so much, she couldn't help thinking that Draco was also handsome. Hermione saw the awe in Ginny's face and said, "Cho paid all of this just for me, you know."
"Really?" asked Ginny in surprise. "She's so super kind."
Hermione agreed with her with a nod. Cho then suddenly said in a loud voice, "Hello, and welcome to the birthday party of Hermione Granger's!"
Everyone clapped. And to Ginny's surprise, even Malfoy. Ron cheered and said, "Let's party!!"
Hermione and Ginny then went to get a punch. The orchestra then started playing a soft tune. Ginny got drinks and began to drink a little. Ron came over and asked, "Herm-er-can I ask you for a dance?" He lent his hand out. Hermione nodded and took his hand, and both of them gracefully danced on the floor. Ginny grinned, and continued drinking.
Harry then came and tapped her shoulder. He lent his hand out of her. Ginny grinned and took his hand. She hastily put her left hand on Harry's shoulder, while Harry put his right hand around Ginny's waist. The orchestra started playing, now with someone singing.
Whenever sang my songs, On the stage, On my own, Whenever said my words, Wishing they would be heard, I saw you smiling at me, Was it real or just my fantasy, You'd always be there in the corner, Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you, Same old songs, just once more, My last night here with you, Maybe yes, maybe no I kind of liked it your way How you shyly place your eyes on me Did you ever know That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are, With that look on your face, As if you've never hurt, As if you're never down, Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly But sure If frown is show then I will know that you are no dreamer.
So let me come to you Close as I want to be Close enough for me To feel your heart Beating fast.
Draco looked at Ginny and Harry dancing. He looked jealous and was angry. He looked away, and sighed heavily. Cho then cheered again and said, "Listen up, everyone!! Let's play a game. I will turn of the lights and find anyone to kiss with!! Ready, set go!"
The lights went out. Everyone screamed and began running. You could hear different noises, like forks and spoons clattering. Ginny broke free from Harry, and began running. She tripped on something, and landed on someone. She felt her lips touching someone's. After a few minutes, the lights went on. Ginny opened her eyes and was face to face with Draco Malfoy. Their lips were in contact. Draco was looking relieved, but was pleased with it. Ginny gasped, and stood up, running away, and cried.
No one really saw her, but Draco was running behind her. Good thing Ginny turned in a corner and went down to her room. She didn't see Draco anymore, she knew he gave up already. She also knew the party was already finished, since Cho and Hermione came a few minutes after she just arrived. They were both looking happy.
"Gin, you just disappeared." Cho said, suddenly spotting Ginny. Ginny nodded and said, "Oh-I had to get something. Anyway, it's done. So I think I should change."
Ginny went straight to the bathroom and change into comfortable clothes. Hermione and Cho did the same and then Cho said, "I got to go somewhere. I'll be back in an hour." She then went. Ginny nodded and told Hermione and said, "I need to go to."
"Why?" Hermione asked. Ginny held the dress Cho gave her and said, "I couldn't keep this. I need to give it back."
"We don't even know where she is right now," Hermione told Ginny, who replied, "I will find her." She then took a coat and went outside.
She looked for Cho, and looked around everywhere. She finally heard Cho's voice, and there was Harry's too. Ginny couldn't help but eavesdrop. She knew it was a wrong thing to do, but there was something in her that made her do it.
"Harry," Cho said, calmly. "You know you belong to me. But it seems like you don't anymore. You now belong to Ginny."
"What do you mean?" Harry's confused voice asked. Cho sighed and said, "You like little Ginny. I saw how you defend her in school, how people tell me how you defend her, and how you danced with her this night." Ginny gasped. She heard Harry stand up. "I don't like anyone but you. It is you who I want and like, Cho," he said. Ginny's heart sank. She ran away, and went outside.
She roamed around outside, and looked at the sea. Tears streamed down her face, and couldn't feel a single thing but sadness. She clutched the dress tightly in her arms, thinking about what Harry said. Ginny looked at the starless sky and asked, "Why is my life like this?"
"What do you mean?" asked a deep voice. Ginny jumped and turned around, "Malfoy! What are you doing here?"
"Getting fresh air," he answered. "Can I ask you the same question?"
"Same," Ginny answered. Draco went beside her and said, "What were you saying?"
Ginny shook her head and said, "Do you care?" She actually didn't want to argue, and Draco looked like the same.
Draco didn't say anything. "Thanks, anyway." He said, smiling boastfully. Ginny thought hard and asked herself what this man mean. "For what?"
"Kissing me like that," Draco said, touching his lips. Ginny glared at him and said, "I did not kiss you! And even I can't believe I was kissing a dog!"
"Me a dog?" asked Draco. "You were the one who was on top of me! Don't tell me you didn't like it?" Ginny screamed and said, "I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!!!"
"Yeah, right," said Draco, running his fingers through his silver hair. Ginny sighed and rolled her eyes. "I tripped and then I tripped on you, and I fell down with you and it happened! What's the big deal!?" asked Ginny. Draco laughed. "Okay, fine. You want to eat?"
"What makes you suddenly nice?" asked Ginny, suspiciously. Draco scratched his head and said, "Is it bad to be nice?"
Ginny glared at him. Draco shook his head and said, "Whatever. May I ask again? Do you want to eat?" Ginny hesitated. Well, she was really hungry, since she didn't eat anything that night. "Fine," she muttered.
Draco opened a paper bag. "Let's sit, can we?"
"Okay," said Ginny and sat on the floor. The cold breeze went over them. "What's inside the bag?" asked Ginny. Draco took out a donut and said, "Different flavors of donut!"
"You eat donut?"
"Yep."
"I thought you only ate those rich dishes like caviar and all," Ginny told him. Draco munched on the donut and said, "No way. I hate rich dishes. I prefer simples ones." He shut his mouth, and blushed a bit. "I should not have told you that."
"It's all right," Ginny said, grinning. "No harm done. I won't say it to anyone."
Ginny took one and to her surprise, she forgot that she hated Draco so much.
Hey!! Here it is!! I really hope the whole lot of you liked it!!! ( Thanks thanks!! R/R
It was confirmed that they were going to Egypt. Ginny was very excited. It's only a week away! She skipped along the corridors, not bothering if the Slytherins threw her a book. Draco stopped in front of her and asked, "What makes you so HAPPY?"

"So?! As if I cared," Draco said, and scowled. Ginny rolled her eyes and walked off. Draco smirked and thought that Ginny cared for him.

Harry, Ginny, Cho, Ron, and Hermione finally were facing a large boat named C.C. Coast. Hermione screamed and said, "It's beautiful!!! We rented it, and it's to ourselves!"
Cho and Harry laughed together. Ron flung his arms around Ginny and asked, "Isn't it great, Gin? Second time going foreign?"
