Chapter 2: The Confrontation

Ginny followed the group of students heading to the Great Hall for lunch. She smiled at nearly everyone she passed, but could not think why. 'It's just Malfoy,' she puzzled,'why am I feeling so happy?'

Suddenly, a very large hand gripped her arm hard enough to bruise it, She squealed and swirled around to meet her attacker: her brother, Ron, backed up by Harry and Hermione. Harry and Ron looked very stony-faced, while Hermione just looked slightly threatening.

"What was that about?" Ron demanded, his ears turning red (always a danger sign).

"What d'you mean?" Ginny said calmly, feigning innocence.

"We *mean*," said Harry, jumping in, "why were you sitting with Malfoy?"

"No reason," said Ginny, now playing with a piece of her vividly red hair.

"NO REASON?! There HAS to be a reason! This is MALFOY we're talking about!" Ron bellowed, his whole face crimson. Several people stared. Hermione rolled her eyes.

Harry sighed. "Listen, Ginny...you're like a little sister to me (Ginny's temper flared again at these words) and you don't have to listen to me, but--"

"But *I* am your brother and you DO have to listen to ME!" Ron interrupted, yelling very loudly, breathing deeply.

"Calm down, Ron," Hermione said in her pacifying voice, her hand resting on Ron's shoulder.

"Thanks, Hermione. Now, what was I saying?" Harry asked Ginny.

"Something about advice," said Ginny impatiently. She started walking into the Great Hall. The trio followed closely behind her.

"Oh, yeah, okay...Malfoy's trouble." Ginny snorted at this.

"Bloody hell, that's *all*? I know that..."

"All right, then," said Harry, but he still looked unconvinced. Ginny sat down and dropped her bag by her feet. She pulled a plate of chicken to her and dug in her fork. Ron clenched her shoulder and pulled her around so that she was facing him.

"Listen, Gin. STAY AWAY from him. He could really do somthing to you if you're not careful," Ron said quietly; Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil were nearby.

"Like what?" Ginny said impatiently, looking at her gold chain link watch; it was nearly the end of lunch and she hadn't eaten anything yet.

"Like rape you!" Hermione hissed, looking worried.

Ginny had had enough. She swung her bag forcefully over her shoulder and yelled at Ron, "SO WHAT? I'M A BIG GIRL NOW, RON!I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF! IF I WANT TO TALK TO MALFOY I WILL. OH, YEAH...AND I WON'T GET RAPED!"

She stomped out off the Great Hall, who watched her leave with bated breath. Then, as one, they turned to look at Malfoy, who was looking slightly pink.

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews guys! I've got 2 more chapters written in my notebook already, and I just need to type them (whether I will or not depends on whether more people give positive reviews!
