A/N: Credit has to be given to Shattered-Destiny. She wrote the dream sequence.
Ginny stared at the boy walking away from her. She watched mesmerised by his every move. There was no denying the fact that this boy managed to bring out some kind of a fire in her, and the truth was, she liked it. She liked it a lot.
"But it's Draco Malfoy!" she thought to herself. "I cant like Draco, I just CAN'T!"
Suddenly she became aware of where she was and the fact the she was absolutely freezing. What she failed to notice was that Harry had not entered her thoughts once throughout the whole exchange.
Draco climbed into bed, not able to tear his thoughts away from his fight with Ginny. She was so annoying, so feisty, so. . .sweet."Sweet?! Sweet?! Where the BLOODY HELL did that come from?"
Yes she was a pretty girl, there was no denying that and yes she gave only decent comebacks, but sweet? Draco closed his eyes and let his mind drift back to the exchange. His last thoughts before he drifted into a peaceful sleep were the reactions of his parents. His parents loathed the Weasley family. For they were poor, never had the best, struggled everyday to put their children through Hogwarts. He would not dare tell them of his feelings for Ginny Weasley. 'Bloody hell' he thought again and with that he fell asleep, his dreams full of a certain red-haired young woman.
**Begin dream Sequence**
They stood face-to-face, glaring each other down after a rather intense fight. Draco had to express his feelings for her, he couldn't take it anymore."Ginny.I.Oh bloody hell!" He grabbed her and kissed her not thinking of anything but the red headed girl in front of him.
**End Dream Sequence** The young man sat straight up in bed, paler than normal. He was sweating slightly. He looked around at the curtains of his four-poster bed. Okay I did not just dream that.Draco dragged himself down to the common room and settled himself into a chair.
"Draco! Just the person! I... My god you look awful! What's wrong, are you sick?" She had a slightly simpering tone in her voice He groaned as Pansy Parkinson fussed over him.
"No I'm not sick you moronic fool, but I will be if you don't get out of my face," He drawled as he got up and headed to the great Hall, leaving a slightly shocked Pansy behind.
He knew very well his rudeness wasn't called for, but he needed to be alone with his thoughts. What was it about that Weasley girl that him acting like. well.. not himself anyway. Suddenly he saw a streak of red coming towards him. Without thinking he ducked into a classroom just in time to see Ginny and her friend (Elise, Elizabeth? Or at least something likes that) walk past. Draco closed his eyes and mentally shook himself.
"Get a grip you idiot. You're a Malfoy, she's a Weasley, and it's just not possible for a Malfoy to lo. . . I mean like a Weasley," He muttered softly to the vacant air around him.
Suddenly the classroom door flew open, leaving
Draco only with seconds to conceal himself in the shadows.
Ginny walked to breakfast with Eliza, her mind still reeling over last
nights happenings.
"My God Gin will you listen to me! I bet you haven't heard one word I've said to you. Not one! What is going on with you?!" Eliza demanded to know. She was slightly affronted that her best friend would hide something from her.
Ginny jumped and looked at her friend apologetically."I'm sorry Liza, it's just, there's some.. weird stuff going on at the moment,"
""Weird? How so? are you and Harry ok? Then she let out a blood-curdling scream. Ginny winced slightly as she shielded her ears.
""Oh. My. God, You've got another guy! How could you not tell me!?"
""What? Huh? Don't be so silly, that's stupid, As if!" Ginny babbled.
At the moment she felt slightly affronted her best friend would feel such a thing. Had Eliza seen her with Draco last night? Had she caught Ginny stealing glances at him when she should be looking at Harry? Suddenly she found herself being pulled back into the classroom they had just passed.
""What the..."
""Miss Weasley," Eliza began. "You are going to tell me everything, and I mean everything, I'm your best friend for crying out loud!" Eliza crossed her arms to emphasize her point and looked at her best friend. Ginny grinned at her slightly, suddenly more than anything she wanted to tell her best friend everything.
""It's just.." Ginny hesitated for a second then the words came spilling out. "I really don't know, I mean, Harry's great, he does everything for me, I mean, he's just, well he's Harry, and that's great as well, well it's not really, I mean, God I wish he would stop treating me like a child! Liza I swear he is boring me to tears! I don't know what to do, and I think I'm falling for this other guy as well, and I don't know what to do! I really don't Liza!" Against her will tears began to fall as her friend enveloped her in a hug.
""And this other guy, you like him?"
""Well, yeah. I do," Ginny admitted to Eliza, and herself. "He makes me so mad sometimes I could hex him, but at the same times all I wana do is kiss him. He doesn't care about anything or anyone, well at least that's what he wants people to think, but he's so exciting! I've never met anyone like him, Liza. Harry could never make me feel the way he does. Never."
""And this guy, does he have a name?" Ginny nodded, tears shining in her eyes once again.
""Draco Malfoy,"
""Oh Gin.. Come on, let's get to breakfast, We'll talk more later." The two left the classroom.
Draco emerged from his hiding place completely shocked by what he had just heard, then a smile crept over his face.
""Looks like I can get one over on Potter and get myself the girl" he grinned to himself.
Suddenly, he was sure he was going to have a good day. A very good day indeed. A/N: Well that's it! I am going to do a proper note of gratitude to you all once I get the next chapter uploaded. Thanks again to all for reviewing!
