Hey everyone. Here's the next chapter of the story. Well, duh. hehe This chapter is a little, sad but not too much. It's not even as sad as last chapter. Rowena goes bye bye for a little! LOL You'll see why soon. Ok, here are soon reviews I wanted to talk about:
Miss Purrsalot, Glad you thought it was sweet and are enjoying the story. I tried to keep it well written and enjoyable. I will keep up with it. Thanks leaving a review.
Andrea, I know. Poor Draco. Was a little mean to him in that chapter. hehe They are a cuter couple. I won't stop. It will be up as soon as I find someone to put it up for me. =( For some reason, my comp can't make a new story. The categories don't show up. Most of my friends don't have comps so I don't know where I can put it up. Sorry about that. =(
Oooooh! Thanks foir the candy. *Gabbles up most of it and gives the rest to Andrea and some Oreos* Glad, you though that chapter was sweet. I was trying to make the end sweet. This chapter will be a bit sad. I don't have a tummy ache, but I'm on a sugar high! hehe Thanks for reviewing.
hailmary, I Don't know what to say. I don't know how you meant this review to be. It's confusing. First, you say it made you laugh. Which is offensive, because this is not a humor fic. Then, you say you love it. I have no idea what you wanted to come across ass. I'd prefer for you not to review anymore. Thank you.
kneh13, People do weird things for love. Glad you think the story is cute. I will add more soon. Thanks for reviewing.
Aurora, Yes, the last line was romantic. Glad you liked it. Ok, you can borrow her. She'll be gone fore awhile and you'll see why in this chapter. I promise it's not too bad.
The story needed some conflict. Like you said, it would have been too peachy and that's just boring. Nice, but boring. LOL Thanks for saying that. What way do you think I should improve exactly? I wasn't quite sure what you meant.
I'm glad you like my story the way it and you'll keep on reading it. That makes me happy. Why would anyone want flames? Flames are stupid. They don't help at all or give advice. I'd like some constructive criticism, but it's hard to get it. If you want you can give to me. It won't offend me as long as it's civil and has a point. Reviews that say it's good and keep going don't bother me, because I like the idea someone stopped and took the time to write a review. It's touching. You did what you set out to do, but I would like you to explain what you mean because I was a little confused. Any things you have to say about my story or how to improve it are welcome. Thanks for reviewing. It was nice to read a review with some tips in it.
Meadow A, hehe It was a fluff moment. Very fluffy. hehe You just have to wait and find out. I can't tell you what happens. It'll ruin it for ya. ;) I will update soon. Thanks for reviewing.
books, Thanks for sharing your opinion and reviewing.
draco90, I will keep writing. Thanks for reading and reviewing,
krissyfz, Good point. There will be an answer to that, but not yet and I can't tell you noe. Why? 'Cause it will ruin the story for ya. hehe Glad you like the story. Makes me feel like I'm a good writer. Awe, thank you for saying that. There are a lot of better writers, though. Thanks for reviewing.
sassw14, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I understand your point. He did go a bit too far, but he's in love. People in love do crazy things. In the end, though he must come to a decision of whether he will stay that way or not. I hope you like the rest of the story. Thanks for leaving a review.
witchy gurrl, Hey. I'm glad you thought the chapter was beautiful. Thanks for sharing your opinion and reviewing.
All The Things She Said
Chapter 6
It had been a week since Ginny had last seen Rowena. She was starting to get worried and upset. Why hadn't Rowena told where she had gone or why? Didn't she love her? Do people who love just leave without a trace and don't tell you why, or where they are, or when they'll be back?
A day later, the loneliness was starting to get to Ginny. Solemnly, she walked to her Herbology class. Draco ran up to her and said, "Hello Ginny."
"Hey. How are you feeling? You were gone for awhile," Ginny said and stopped to talk to him.
"I'm good now. Still a little shaky, though." Draco said. He looked pale and tired. Transforming back into his body made him feel very sick. At least, he wasn't still vomiting every day like the first week.
"That's good to hear. I was kind of worried about you," Ginny said honestly.
"You were?" Draco asked shocked.
"Yeah, you're a nice guy. You've always been nice to me and I was worried something was really wrong. Your cousin was kind of worried, too." Ginny said.
"Rowena's a nice girl. I wasn't too well when I came back and she visited me in my room. She got sick," Draco lied.
"Oh. I was worried about her, too." Ginny said sadly looking down at the ground.
Draco cupped her face with his hands and gently picked it up. They were looking into each other's eyes. "She likes you a lot Ginny. She told me so," he said.
"She did?" Ginny asked as a smile came to her face.
"Yes, she also told me she loves you dearly," Draco said his heart racing.
"I love her, too," Ginny said grinning.
Reaching into his robes Draco pulled out a small black velvet box and said, "My cousin told me to give this to you, because she's still sick and doesn't want you to give it to you herself and get you sick."
"Thanks," Ginny said and opened the box. It was a delicate gold band with sapphires and diamonds in a pattern that looked like a flower. "Wow, it's beautiful. Tell her I love it, and to write to me," Ginny said and hugged him.
Dreamily, Draco hugged back. He had missed touching and being near Ginny. As he held her he breathed in her scent. She smelled of vanilla.
Ginny rested her head on Draco's shoulder and began to cry. "What's wrong?" he asked and stroked her red hair tenderly.
"I just miss her so much. I hate being away from her," Ginny said as she cried.
"Look, she's really sick, but she's getting better. She'll be back Thursday," Draco said.
Ginny nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I'm just leaning on you getting you soggy and acting like an idiot. I'm ten minutes late for my class and so are you."
"Relax, I have a pass because I'm still kind of sick. So I can miss it. You look upset. Want me to take you to your room?" he asked.
"No, I don't want to cut. I never have before and I think I'm ok," Ginny lied.
"It's almost the end of the day. Want to go up to my room and talk?" Draco asked.
"That'd be nice," Ginny said and took his hand. A small smile appeared on his face as she too his hand. He led her to her room. Being a perfect, he had his own room.
Both sat down on his bed. It had a larger green comforter on it with a huge silver snake in the middle. The walls were green and there was mainly green, black, and silver, furniture.
After looking around Ginny said, "You have a nice room."
"Thanks," Draco said and gently stroked her hand.
"It must be nice to have your own room," Ginny replied and held his.
"Yeah, it's nice, but it gets lonely. Then again, there aren't too many people worth talking to in this house," Draco said.
"I see what you mean, most Slytherins are mean and obsessed with people's parentage and wealth," Ginny commented.
"There are more important things than that, and they don't seem to get it," Draco said.
"It's not really their fault, though." Ginny said.
"Oh?" Draco asked surprised.
"Yeah, it's not their fault. It was the way they were raised. Raised to think only rich purebloods are people and the rest are just dirt and should be treated like it." Ginny said.
"You're right," he said and looking down at the carpeted floor.
"Where you raised like that?" she asked.
"Yes and no. Yes, I was raised like that, but not by my parents. Merlin knows they had more important things to do than to actually spend time with their only child," he said sadly.
"I'm sorry," Ginny said and reached over and hugged him.
"It's not your fault," he said and hugged her back.
The urge to kiss her came over Draco. He leaned down and gently kissed her cheek. "You're such a good person," he said and kissed her cheek again.
A blush came to Ginny's face as his lips touched her cheek. The kiss was sweet and innocent, but she could feel the deep love behind it. It felt so good, though. For some reason the kiss felt familiar. Maybe she had received it in a dream once…
Gently, Ginny kissed his right cheek. She didn't know why, but she felt like she had to return the two he had given her. When she pulled away she noticed his alabaster skin had a pink tinge to it. He was blushing. Draco Malfoy was blushing.
She giggled and said, "I didn't know your ears turned pink when you blushed."
Draco turned pinker and said, "I didn't make fun of you when you blushed."
"I'm not making fun of you. You look cute when you blush. Too bad my brother's not here to see it," she teased.
"You better not tell him," Draco said not sensing she was kidding.
Ginny laid on top of him and said, "Don't worry. I won't tell him of our love affair."
A small smile appeared on Draco's face. He wished they really could have a love affair. He gently pushed her off and said, "Me with a poor witch? No one would believe that."
"I think your right. Glad, I didn't say yes to going to the Yule Ball with you," she teased.
"I know you're a lesbian, but have you ever been with a guy?" Draco asked even though he knew the answer.
"No," Ginny said.
"Then, how do you know you don't like them? Maybe, there's a Mr. Right out there for you, but you've already turned him down. I mean, you never know," Draco said.
"Well, it's good I turned him down if I've meet him, because I've found Miss. Right," Ginny said.
"I know you and Rowena are really close, but what if it doesn't work out. Would you ever go with a guy?" Draco asked.
"Fine. Just for you. If me and Rowena break up I'll go out with a guy. Hmmm… Mr. Right. Who's that? I think Harry fits the bill," Ginny said in a serious tone to make Draco mad.
"Potter? You think Potter is Mr. Right?" Draco asked shocked. Not knowing she was teasing.
"Yeah, with those sexy green eyes and messy black hair I'd be all over him if I was straight." She said still faking seriousness.
"I thought you liked blondes," Draco said lamely.
"No, I only like blonde girls. I like guys with dark hair," she said smirking.
"You're shallow," he said.
"You're gullible," she said and started to laugh.
"Ha ha! Not funny," Draco said feeling silly he actually fell for it.
"You're so naïve, like a little boy. It's cute," Ginny said and looked into his eyes.
"I'm not so naïve. I could show you a thing or two," Draco said and smirked. Not liking her thinking of him as a little boy.
"Oh? What could you show me?" Ginny asked. For some reason it was different talking to him than before. It like she knew him better or something. She was actually finding herself attracted to him.
"Well, if you weren't with my cousin, I could show you a few things that would make you switch teams," Draco said and kissed her hand.
Ginny giggled and said, "Only guys use that term. Teams? What? Do gays and straights play Qudditch against each other or something?"
He laughed and said, "I never really thought of it that way."
Draco felt Ginny softly touching his fingers. She looked down at them and said, "It's weird."
"What is?" he asked.
"You and your cousin are so much a like. I've never meet two people of opposite sexes that were so much alike," Ginny said honestly.
"Well, we're a pureblood family. Lots of inbreeding. That's probably why we look so much alike," he said.
Ginny giggled and said, "You have a good sense of humor."
"Honestly, there is inbreeding in my family. Not recently, but along the lines there have been. There's inbreeding in all real pureblood lines," Draco said.
"Thank god, I can't kids," Ginny said disgusted at the idea that people would rather marry their relatives than someone with muggle blood in them.
Draco could sense what he said had bothered her and said, "I don't know. I really don't think me and Rowena look that much a like"
"Are you kidding?" she could be like your twin.
"She's not a boy," he said.
"Twins can be girl and boy you know," Ginny said.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot. There are no twins in my family," Draco said.
"Really? None at all?" she asked.
"Nope. I think Malfoys have the genetics to have only have one baby," he said and laughed.
Ginny blinked for a moment and said, "Not you."
"Pardon?" Draco asked confused.
"I don't see you with one child. I see with lots of kids. Five at least," Ginny said.
"Five at least? Wow, I'll be busy! I'd like to find a girl that'll give me five kids," Draco mused. Secretly, he just wanted Ginny to be the mother of any of his children.
"You'll find someone. You're nice guy. You just need to stop being so prejudice," Ginny said.
"Wow, you're talented. A physic and a personal adviser," he said.
"Yes, and that's only the talents you know about," she said and giggled.
"Oh, and what are the ones I don't know about?" he asked.
"Well, I need a girl to show you," Ginny said and licked her lips.
Draco felt himself getting aroused as she said that. "Don't think you could do it on a guy?" he asked.
"No, the equipment is way too different," she said and laughed.
Once the laughter died down, Draco looked at her and said, "I'm sure Rowena will be back in two days, but if she misses the Yule Ball, would you like to go with me? You know, as friends?"
Ginny smiled at him and said, "Yeah, that'd be nice. If she can't make it, I'll need a chest to cry on."
Draco smiled and said, "I'm there for you."
"Mmm… I'm starving. What time is it?" Ginny asked.
Draco looked over at the grandfather clock in his room and said, "It's 10. We missed dinner."
"Damn it," Ginny said softly.
"No worries," Draco said and got up.
"What do you mean no worries?" Ginny asked confused.
He opened a trunk and took out a box. Sitting back on the bed with the box he said, "Like I said no worries."
"What's that?" Ginny asked.
Draco opened the box showing her a wide assortment of taffies, cookies, and chocolates. "Mom sends them. I save it for times like this," he said and put the box to her in an offering gesture.
"Thank you," Ginny said and took a chocolate chip cookie.
"Welcome," Draco said and took a taffy. He unwrapped it and shoved the whole thing into his mouth. Happily, he chomped on it.
Sheepishly, Ginny bite into the cookie. Her mother had always told her to eat lady like in front of others.
By the time Ginny had finished the cookie, Draco had eaten five taffies. "I thought you were hungry," he said unwrapping a sixth one.
"I am. It's just I don't want you to think I eat like a pig all the time," Ginny said picking up another cookie.
Draco picked up a cookie and put it in Ginny's mouth. "I'm hungry and I'm eating like a pig. Just chow down. It's like it's some fancy banquette or something," he said.
Ginny smiled and started to eat another cookie. Maybe she had judged guys too early and guys weren't so bad after all…
