(A/N: Hello! Thanks for reviewing my story everyone. Oh, and there one part in chapter 1 where Ginny broke the heel of her shoe. Remember that? I forgot to add in that she mended her shoe already. Okizz…Reviews pls! Much appreciated!)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER! Although *dreamy look* I wouldn't mind. (Voice in head~ In your dreams) Fine! The plot and the characters you are not familiar with would belong to moi.
ENDING OF LAST CHAPTER~
Ginny walked to the door and knocked a few times. A voice told her to come in.
To Ginny's horror, she saw her worst nightmare looking expectantly up at her- sitting comfortably- when she opened the door.
2. WHO ARE YOU?
"Malfoy?!" exclaimed a very horror-struck Ginny. She stared at Draco for a while then realized that she was in the wrong office. She refused to stay with Malfoy in the adorementioned room.
But….what is he doing here? Wait, why am I even asking? Do I look like I care? I don't give a damn about him, right?
Draco was looking at the stunning woman that had just entered. He gaped at her, registering her from head to toe. From her flowing, auburn hair to her beautiful, brown, almond-shaped eyes, then, her perfect curves and slim legs. "Who are you?" Draco asked in a polite, not-so-Draco tone.
"What?" asked Ginny. What is wrong with Malfoy? "What the hell are you trying to pull this time, huh, Amazing Bouncing Ferret?" spat Ginny.
How did she know my name? Do I know her? How did she know about the 'Amazing Bouncing Ferret'? thought Draco, racking his brain for a memory of the attractive woman in front of him.
Tired of waiting and standing for an answer -which was hopeless coming from Malfoy- like a pathetic idiot, Ginny said through gritted teeth, "You know what? I don't need any of this. I'm in the wrong room so now I'm going to leave!" Ginny turned around and was about to pull the door closed behind her when a strong hand gripped her arm and pulled her back.
Ginny came face to face with Draco. Her heart was pounding wildly and she felt like she had dropped from a high clift. Their faces were so close, about an inch apart. A part of Ginny wanted to run away but another part of her wanted to stay, so badly. His supercilious grey eyes -that seemed to hold a magnetic force- locked with her own, hazel ones. She watched as his cold grey eyes turn into a light, cool, blue.
Mollified by her innocent features, he said softly, "Who are you? How do you know my name? Do I know you?" He had so many questions that wanted answering.
This has got to stop, Virginia Weasley! You hate him, remember? "Oh, this is rich, Malfoy," rolling her eyes while putting extra emphasis on his name. "Who the hell do you think you're trying to pull? I'm not that naïve to fall for your idea of a jape. Now LET. GO. OF. ME. YOU. BASTARD! I don't want to have anything to….do…with…..y…" said Ginny in a cadence. She trailed off when she saw the colour of his eyes turn to a blurry, dark, grey. (A/N: In case you don't know, I was meaning for him to be hurt. lol. Carry on…)
Regaining his cool composure, Malfoy said, "Fine, I'm…s….sorry," and walked back to his seat, releasing Ginny's arm. He bent over a piece of parchment and started reading it, although, in actual fact, he was only pretending.
What are you doing, Draco, you idiot! She's not worth your attention. Besides, you've got other girls that are way prettier than her. But at the back of his head was this annoying voice protesting. No, you dunderhead! You know that's not true! Come on, just admit it! You like her don't you? She's different than you string of girls and you know it!
Draco was caught in his thoughts. There was this feeling tugging at his heart and he felt hurt - although he didn't want to admit it- when the girl obviously disliked him, a lot. But, how could he ever forget the sensation he felt rushing through his body when their eyes united. It was this electrifying jolt he had never felt before with any other woman.
As Draco was deep in thought and having a headache cracking his brain, he was unaware that Ginny had never left but was still standing at the door, mouth agape. Finally, Ginny spoke up.
"M..Malfoy…di..did you just say……sorry?" inquired Ginny. Never in her Hogwarts life had she heard this arrogant brat say so much as a 'sorry'.
He was mute for a while before mustering enough courage to ask her, "Why won't you tell me who you are? I have no idea who you are and you won't tell me. Please, I really don't know who you are." He did not look up but was reading the same line over and over again without realizing it.
Ginny was soundless. He's telling the truth, isn't he? Have I changed? How can he not recognize me. This is so strange. She looked at Malfoy again to check if it really was him sitting in the chair in front of her. Yep, that's him alright.
"FINE! IF YOU WON'T TELL ME THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" bellowed Draco, -standing up now- unable to control his anger. Nobody had ever treated him like that, making him wait so long. She was not going to be an exception, not now, not ever. His face had turned a brilliant shade of crimson and he was breathing heavily now.
"FINE WITH ME!" screamed Ginny at the top of her lungs, not caring for that moment if everyone within earshot would think she was a total nutcase. She turned on her heels and stormed out of the room, slamming the door.
WHAM! She slammed into someone who was outside the door and fell to the floor. The other woman was knocked off her feet as well due to the impact caused. When Ginny opened her eyes, she saw the same woman she had asked directions from. Both of them pulled themselves off the ground.
"Sorry but I couldn't help overhearing, I mean who wouldn't but that's not the point. Are you……..okay? I heard you screaming," said the woman before continuing, "Um…sorry we didn't have a proper introduction just now. I'm Katherine Shelley but you can call me Kate. And you?"
"Everything's fine. It was nothing to worry about. I'm Virginia Weasley but you can call me Ginny," replied Ginny, managing a small smile. "Kate?" said Ginny, waiting for Kate's nod. "I think you gave me the wrong directions. The head of the Auror Headquarters cannot be in that office," stated Ginny while pointing her thumb at the office behind her.
"But it is, Ginny. Oh, I know what you're thinking. He's too young to be the head, right? Yep, even those senior Aurors…." nodding her head towards her colleagues, "….. don't trust him because his father was Lucius Malfoy. They reckon he's a spy, but, Cornelius Fudge is willing to give him a chance to prove them wrong. I mean, he's like one of the best Aurors in history, at such a young age too. Not to mention that he's hot!"
Ginny remembered what Justin had told her earlier in the elevator. Then, she glanced at her new found friend with a disgusted look on her face, "You, have, got, to, be, kidding!" "Have you seen him Ginny? I mean like really look at him. Seems to me you two were busy having World War 3."
Well, come to think of it, I didn't take a close look at him But then again, how much can the scrawny little ferret change in 4 years. A lot? Maybe?
Ginny groaned when she remembered the reason she came here. "Crud! Now that wasn't good. I just had World War 3 with my boss on my first day of work and I haven't even reported yet. Why me? Wait, scratch that, why him?"
"Let me guess, you have a grudge against that hottie? That's bad," joked Kate. Her voice turned serious after that, "But Ginny, you have to go back in to see him. You aren't going to lose this job, right?
"Of course not!" said Ginny then sighed. Now she had to face him, again.
"Don't worry, Ginny. It'll be over before you know it," encouraged Kate.
But Ginny was far from worried. She was extremely worried. What were people going to think if she went back in there after barking her head off at him. More importantly, what was he going to think?
Nevertheless, she better get it over with. And with that, she took a deep breath then knocked on the door again for the second time after saying bye to Kate.
