CHAPTER TWO: IS IT TRUE?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco awoke from the most amazing dream, seeing as he was still in the Hogwarts Express. His dream was filled with his happiest memories and the certain event that had just occurred. He dreamed what would have happened if she hadn't ran away. He wished he would have said something other than just smiling at her, but he was frozen as if she was some sort of angel in his arms. But then again, why was he thinking this? Was he in love with a Weasley?
He looked down on his lap and saw that he still had her book. He hadn't removed the bookmark but he was reading it. He had finished the book and it looks as if he had fell asleep at the last page. It was a wonderful story and he could picture him and her as the main characters going through the same obstacles of the story. He would always go back and forth looking at her bookmark. It was a blue tasseled one with her name in baby blue and at the side; it looked like her name in both Chinese and Hindi.
'Her eyes are beautiful', he thought, 'Deep brown with a tint of burgundy, like a fine bourbon'. He didn't care now, he knew he liked her and nobody was going to stop him from getting closer to her.
On the other side of the train, Ginny sat in the booth with the others. They all laughed and joked. Ron had finally stopped eating. Ginny sat there very quiet recapping and thinking of what had happened.
"Hello. Is anyone in there?" joked Harry waving his hand in front of Ginny's eyes.
"Sorry, I'm in my own world right now", she said. Ginny looked around and saw that Hermione was staring at her. She knew Hermione would know.
"Umm, I think you guys should start putting on your robes now, we should be arriving soon", said Angelina. As she said that, the train was passing the forest and a sign that said, "Welcome to Hogsmeade". Ginny was still quiet and was thinking to herself, 'Do I like Draco? I mean he has changed his appearance but what about his attitude? I don't want to be known as being superficial. Hell, that'll be like me being Pansy!'
In a couple of minutes the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station. Everyone started to pour out. Ginny was the only one left in the booth, she was gathering her things, but she couldn't find one thing. Where was Hermione's book? 'Oh! Hermione's going to kill me!' she thought. Then she remembered. 'Oh no! I left it in Draco's compartment!' She ran towards the back of the train and into Draco's compartment, whose door was strangely still left open.
She looked at the seat where she sat. The book wasn't there!
'Where can it be? Oh God!' she thought.
"Looking for something?" said a low voice from behind her. It sent a chill up her spine and she stood.
"Uh-umm-er-I-I was just l-looking for m-my book", she said nervously as she turned around. It was Draco with her book in his hand.
"Oh, you mean this book?" he asked trying to be smart.
"Come on Malfoy! I got to go. That's not my book, its Hermione's!" she said approaching him.
"You know I have a first name", he said mimicking her.
"Okay, Draco, can I please have my book back?" she asked. She tried to grab it out of his hand but he was taller than him so he stretched up high.
Without warning, Draco's other arm pulled her closer around her waist.
"If you want your friend's book back, you have to do one thing", he said slyly with his trademark smirk.
"And what is that?" she asked nervously.
He lowered his other arm around to her waist and lowered his head to her lips and kissed her.
'Oh my Merlin! Is this actually happening?' she thought. He pulled back a little and was grinning at her. He had the book in his hand and gave it to her.
"That was all I wanted", he said still with his arms around her waist.
With that, Ginny didn't know what came over her, Ginny pulled on the collar of his sweater and kissed him hard on the lips. The kiss deepened and she could feel his hand go up the back of her blouse under her robe.
"Ginny! Where are you?" said a voice. Ginny broke the kiss and then looked at Draco and then ran again. Draco just looked at her as she walked away from something he knew they both wanted. Ginny grabbed her stuff and went through the exit. The person who was calling her was Ron.
"What took you?" he asked her.
"Oh I couldn't find my book, but I found it under my seat", she lied.
"Hermione's looking for you, she wants you to sit with her in the boat to Hogwarts", said Harry who was smiling at her. Ginny knew she was REALLY over Harry now.
"Oh where is she?" she asked. Harry pointed her to the direction and she left.
"There you are" said Hermione when Ginny caught up. "What's up?"
'Oh, Draco just kissed me and it was the most amazing thing ever!' she thought but all she said was, "Oh nothing".
"Let's catch a boat and be on our way", said Hermione.
They caught a boat, which could fit four so they both invited Parvati and Lavender to go with them. Hermione and Lavender rowed while Ginny and Parvati held out the lights. Ginny was in the back. She saw many other people she knew. She saw a boat with Harry, Ron, Dean, and Seamus, and another with Neville and three others from Hufflepuff.
But there was one boat in particular that passed by. It had Crabbe, Goyle, a boy she didn't know and Draco. Draco looked at her but she averted her gaze at the other boats.
They finally arrived at Hogwarts and were going in. The first years were coming in so they had to move quickly. In the Great Hall, they saw the four long tables with gold tables and goblets. There were banners for the houses and on the stage there was the table for the staff. Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Harry sat together with the others. As they sat, the first years came in. The usual ritual carried on. Ginny could feel as if someone was staring at her. She looked at the Slytherin table and saw the Draco had just averted his eyes. The sorting was over and the rules were said. Dumbledore had also called four names on stage.
"Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Justin Flintch-Fletchy (A/N however you spell it) and Draco Malfoy, please come on stage", said Dumbledore.
As they went up on stage, everyone was looking at them.
"I will like to introduce you to our new prefects!" said Dumbledore with great cheer in his voice.
Everyone clapped for them. Ginny clapped and clapped but when she saw Draco, she turned pink.
"LET THE FEAST BEGIN!" he said.
With that an enormous banquet was in front of them. Everyone dug in, they were all hungry. Ron also took heaping plates as if he didn't eat for days. Ginny knew sooner or later Ron would throw up.
Soon the feast was over and they all went to their common rooms. Hermione said the new password ('Ambiguous') and the portrait swung open.
Ginny put all her stuff in the room where she shared with some other fifth years. It was night so she changed into flannel pajamas and took the 'Spinner of Dreams' with her to the common room. There she saw Hermione.
"Hey", said Hermione. "Hey" she replied.
"Oh do you like the book?" asked Hermione
"It's good so far!" said Ginny.
She was coming down the stairs and had tripped on the carpet. The book had fell on the ground. Hermione ran and picked up the book and then helped up Ginny.
"Thanks", said Ginny.
"You're Welcome," said Hermione reading a note, "Look what fell out of the book".
Ginny took the note and read it,
'Dear Ginny,
Wow! You have great taste in books. I read it. You had left it in my compartment when you left. Why did you run? Did I scare you? If I did I am sorry, I didn't mean to. Well, if you wish, we can go out one day to Hogsmeade, have dinner, you know that sort of thing. Well, I'll be looking forward to your answer. Later.
- Draco'
Hermione just stared at Ginny. Ginny looked back and was scared.
"What is this all about?" questioned Hermione.
"Well-er-I sort of started talking to him on the train and I had left your book in his private compartment. I didn't know why he did it but when I came back he kissed me", said Ginny spilling her heart out, crying freely.
"Do you like him?" Hermione asked.
"That's the thing! Everyone sees him as the bad boy Slytherin, but deeply he's a nice guy", she said whimpering, "Please don't tell Ron or Harry, they'll want to massacre him!"
"Don't worry, don't cry. If you like him there's no problem. I'll try and do my best in keeping Ron and Harry busy", said Hermione trying to comfort Ginny.
On the other side of Hogwarts, in the Slytherin prefects bedroom, Draco stood on the balcony.
'I hope she got the note', he thought, 'and I hope she says yes'.
