Chapter 12: It Behooves You to Listen
The next day, Ginny was completely ignoring Ron, Harry, and Draco. At the moment, she was talking to Colin and Jane, who were holding linked hands.
"When did this happen?" Ginny asked grinning.
"Last night." Colin answered.
"While you were yelling at Harry and Ron." Jane added. Colin kicked her under the table. Ginny noticed this but ignored it. A couple minutes later, Ginny stood.
"I have to get my bag before divination. See you."
`"See you." Colin and Jane replied. Ginny was walking toward the steps that led to Gryffindor tower when someone grabbed her.
"Oi! If you want to kill me ask first!" She snapped.
"Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere alone!" Draco yelled. Ginny was scared. This was the first time she had seen an actual emotion in his eyes. Anger.
"I'm tired of people telling me what to do! I don't need you or Harry or Ron to protect me. I can protect myself." Ginny stated crossing her arms over her chest.
"Virginia, listen to me. I can't watch you all the time. You need to stay with people."
"Why?"
"I can't let you get hurt."
"Whose gonna hurt me?"
"No one just-."
"Why do you care?"
"I just-."
"Why?"
"Because I love you okay!?"
Ginny was shocked. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't say I love you back. She didn't.
So, she walked away. Draco kept slapping his forehead and cursing to himself. When he regained composure, he spotted Ginny's friends: the shutterbug and the airhead. He put on his smug yet sexy smirk (*author swoons*) and made his way over to them.
"Well, well, well. Bribing your new model are we film face?" Draco laughed.
"Sod off Malfoy." Jane retorted.
"'Sod off Malfoy'" Draco mimicked. "So she can speak!" Draco said to Colin. "Does she have posable arms and legs as well?"
"Let's go Jane." Colin said.
"I only wanted to tell you to watch the Weasley woman. Make sure I don't catch her alone." Draco called after them.
"Oh yeah?" Colin said turning around. "Well don't worry, we'd never let scum like you catch her alone." Colin looked utterly disgusted. Jane's face mirrored the feeling. "What's it to you anyway Malfoy?" Colin asked angrily.
"Temper, temper my photo friend. I just don't want her following me around anymore." He smirked.
"As if Ginny would ever do that!" Jane laughed.
Ginny was headed to the tower in a daze. She didn't even realize she reached it until the Fat Lady yelled: "Password Dear!"
Ginny headed up to her dormitory to retrieve her bag. When she got to the portrait hole, she saw that Ron and Harry left the exit impeded. She groaned inwardly and tried to squeeze past them.
"Excuse me. Beg pardon. Ex-."
"This is no time for games Virginia!" Ron spat pushing her back. Ginny laughed.
"Well I know Ronald. It's time for class. Now, if you'll excuse me- ."
Ginny," Harry began, "Please be careful. We know you were with Malfoy last night." Ginny tutted and rolled her eyes.
"That's right, Harry. He tried to snog me senseless too but I told him that was your job." Ron looked ready to explode and Harry looked downright sick.
"Ginny, I'm going to pretend I didn't that. Just keep away from him." Ron said calmly.
"Tell him to keep away from me." Ginny said. And with that she walked away. Later, when she, Colin, and Jane were trying to get into the dining hall there was a throng of people blocking the entrance. The closer they came the louder the voices got.
"Ron, Harry, calm down." Hermione said. "It's Ginny's choice who she- -."
"It is not! It's mine/his!" Ron and Harry said together.
"Trust me weasel. I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole. Besides that's Potter's job." Draco retorted. Ginny stepped in at this point. All three boys looked shocked and somewhat scared. Ginny spoke in a whisper which steadily turned into a shout.
"I will not be told what to do, who to see, or where to go. I am sixteen years old! I can take care and defend myself. I don't need you guys fussing about me all the time!" She left quickly at a loss for appetite. She was headed toward the lake when someone grabbed her.
"Oi! I said LEAVE ME ALONE!" Ginny screamed.
"Well now, is that anyway to speak to an old friend?" Lucius asked saccharinely.
Ginny turned to run but was too late.
"Stupefy!" Lucius shouted. Ginny stiffened a moment then collapsed to the limply. Excellent he thought. Looking at her, he smiled. "The Weasley's fall the Malfoy's continue to rise." He grabbed Ginny's hand, then picked up a rock. A tugging came at his navel and his feet left the ground.
Ginny was now headed to Malfoy Manor.
