~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'm back. I'm singing Tell Her by Lonestar this time." He Draco droned dully. He couldn't believe he had to embarrass himself twice in one night like this!
He searched the crowd quickly for Ginny and found her. She flashed him a smile and a big thumbs up and he began to sing.
So you say your love's about to end
You can't take no more
She's out the door
And you're lookin for a friend
Who am I to tell you why?
But I'm just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride and look her in the eye
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feelin
Tell her you're believin
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Brother I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke
'Cause I never spoke
Those healin words out loud
But I've learned my lesson well
Now every night
Before I close my eyes
I look at my woman
And I ask myself did you
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feelin
Tell her you're believin
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny sated at Draco intently. Did he want to tell her that he loved her? Is that what this was about? And if so then why the hesitation? Maybe she needed to give him room to come to her on his own. Or maybe she should help him tell her, in her own little way.
Yes, that was what she would do.
Draco flashed her a meaningful glance before disappearing into the sea of students once more.
Soon enough it was Ginny's turn.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco anxiously awaited Ginny's song, knowing she must still be thinking of a song to sing. It was hard to think of one right there on the spot, especially for her.
Ginny took the stage, beaming at everyone before announcing that she was singing Fallin by Alicia Keyes
I keep on fallin in
And out of love with you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
I feel you darlin
Makes me so confused
I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
Oh, oh
I never felt this way
How do you give me
So much pleasure
And cause me
So much pain?
Yeah, yeah
Cause when I think
I've taken more
Than would a fool
I start fallin
Back in love with you
I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
Oh baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin
I, I, I, I'm fallin
Fall, fall, fall
Fall
I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
I'm fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
I'm fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
Draco knew then and there that she must still love him just like he loved her. It was time to confront her then.
* * *
Ginny received thunderous applause as she exited the stage.
The redhead spotted Draco moving towards her looking determined. As much as she wanted to find out what he had given her, she decided it was time to play a little hard to get.
"Payton? I was wondering if you'd like to dance?" She asked sweetly, turning to the boy standing next to her. She was lucky it was Payton and not Neville or something, yeah that'd know em dead.
"Sure, I guess." He said nonchalantly. The truth was that was so excited finally to asked to dance with anyone. After all, the most popular boy should always dance right?
Ginny pulled him onto the dance floor and they began to dance. Of course, Ginny couldn't have picked a slow song. She just began to move to the music.
She felt Payton's body pushed again hers and was surprised. She wouldn't have guessed that Payton even knew how to dance. Oh well, all for the best.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lavender was pulling Ron towards the center of the floor. She came to a dance to dance and he was being such a party popper about it all.
"Ron, don't whine!" Lavender scolded her boyfriend.
"Come on, Lav. Don't make me do this, you'll only embarrass yourself." He pleaded with her.
"And you." Lavender commented.
She and Ron stopped abruptly at the sight before them.
"And just what does that guy think that he's going to my little sister?!" Ron exclaimed, looking like a madman. "And were did she learn to dance like that?"
"Are you saying she didn't learn that from you?" Lavender joked. "I mean, I knew you were flexible but I never would have that that you could do THAT."
"Ha, ha Lav. That's not funny! Just look at her! And her skirt's far too short to be doing that!" Ron shouted angrily.
But Lavender was not looking at Ginny or Payton any longer. She, unlike Ron, was able to look past them to see that hurt, angry and very jealous face of none other than Draco Malfoy.
Somehow, Lavender knew that Ron wasn't going to need to pull Payton and Ginny apart as Draco looked as though he could do the very same thing at any given moment and Ron would not like that anymore than the sight he was seeing now.
"Leave her be, Ron." Lavender said, pulling him away, him fighting every step of the way.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just what did she think she was doing? He was prepared to confess his love for her and she was grinding that Jackson fellow?
When Draco listened to the words of the music it only worsened the situation.
"Shake it fast, watch yourself. Shake it fast, show me whatcha workin with. If you think you've got the biggest one momma come shake it fast."
That was enough of that.
Draco stepped forward and grabbed Ginny. Despite her protests, he pulled her into a dark deserted corridor.
"What was that?" He demanded.
"It's called dancing, Draco." Ginny said blatantly.
"Don't toy with me Gin. Why him?" Draco asked, his eyes flashing wildly.
"Why do you care?" Ginny asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Answer my question."
"Don't' do that again." Draco said menacingly, grabbing Ginny's arm.
Ginny stiffened. He sounded like Colin at that moment. Telling her what she could and couldn't do and grabbing her arm. It's not that Draco grabbed her hard, it was just the touch that went with the words.
"Draco, stop it. You're scaring me." She whispered, pulling her arm way and backed up, dropping the façade.
"Why?" He asked, his voice growing slightly softer. He hadn't meant to scare her, he just wanted answers.
"You sounded like him." She said, dropping her eyes to the floor.
"Gin, I'm sorry I didn't mean to act like that but when I saw you with Jackson I snapped." He told her apologetically.
"Why though?"
"I didn't want him to take advantage of you." Draco lied. Tonight was obviously not the night to profess anything.
"Draco, I'm a big girl." She told him, stepping forward a little bit.
"Gin, I know that but it's just that well sometimes things get out of your control like in the hospital wing. I didn't want that to happen to my best friend." He told her.
"Your best friend?" She asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Yeah of course." He told her, he thought she knew how much she meant to him, or almost how much anyways.
"Oh, Draco! That's amazing!" She said. "You're my best friend too. Well, my best guy friend anyhow. Just don't tell Chloe or she'll have a fit." Ginny giggled. She stepped forward and hugged her friend. She was sad that that was all he thought of her as. She really though that something would come of his jealousy.
"So Draco, can I open this little box now?" She asked him, pulling the box out from her pocket. She'd obviously put a charm on it so it would fit in her pocket.
"Nope, not yet." Draco said. Everything needed to be perfect before she opened it. She needed to know that he still loved her and as of tonight she still didn't know that.
"But Draco!" She whined, sounding like a little kid whose Mum wouldn't buy them the toy they wanted.
"No, Gin!" He teased. "Let's go in there and dance."
"With who? My big bad guardian of a best friend won't let me dance with anyone." She teased him mercilessly, linking her arm through his.
"There's one person that you are allowed to dance with." Draco told her.
"Who? Harry?" She asked him, knowing she'd get a reaction out of that one. Draco hated Harry with a passion still.
"Uh no. Definitely not."
"Who then?"
"Me." Draco told her.
"Eww! Why would I want to dance with you?" She asked him jokingly. Luckily he knew she was kidding. She wanted to dance with him more than anything.
"Only because you know I'm the best dancer in here." He said, guiding her back to where he stole her from in the first place.
"Whatever." She laughed, pulling him closer. She rested her head on his chest and draped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her very close to him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chloe had watched the whole scene that had played before the Great Hall. Draco was jealous. She found it funny actually but everyone else was just confused.
She watched as he pulled her into the hallway and then brought her back in grinning. She had hoped that they had gotten back together but saw that Ginny still had not opened the gift so they could be.
If she hadn't known better she would have thought that they were holding each other as a boyfriend would hold his girlfriend. Not as friends hold friends.
The song ended and a faster one came on. This would be the dance that told all.
Sure enough, Draco and Ginny were dancing as Payton and Ginny had been before Draco interrupted. Only Draco was pressed against Ginny so closely, she wondered how they even moved. She listened to the music closer.
"Me and my crew started cruising made our way to the floor. I start to activate my plan and give this hottie and show. I shook my hip took a dip and rolled my tongue cross my lips. And when he took his place to dance with me I felt fingertips on the small of my back so I had to react like I was playin hard to get and told that boy to step back but when I looked deep in his eyes all I could see was his soul. And I'm about to make this boy my man, I can tell ya for sure!"
That's pretty much what Chloe saw going on. Only Ginny didn't have to step back from him. She knew that if she looked up at Draco now she could see his soul and she may not like what she finds there.
Chloe could see the raw emotion that was shining in his eyes. He loved Ginny and that's all he needed to know. All Ginny had to do was say that she loved him and he would most certainly be her man.
"Love's a funny thing like that. They both love each other and yet they won't admit it to save their lives. Eventually though. Draco will say it first." Chloe said, turning back to Andrew.
All Ginny has to do is say jump and Draco would yell how high.
Now all she needed to do was use that power.
