A/N: Phew! It's been a while since I even wrote SRS, as I have been slogging away at school work- revising for my exams and doing all my coursework. I've been banned by my mum for writing any fan fics until I have done all my exams this year! Luckily, I only have two science exams (lucky? Did I say LUCKY?!) on Thursday then I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!! Okay, please review- it brightens up my bleak days of rain, revision and rain and revision. Oh, and coursework too.
Chapter 5: The Truce
The next day, Ginny slept past the bell and had to rush down to breakfast with her tangled hair only just tamed.
She sat down next to Harry out of puff just as Will strode in.
"Ginny!" he panted. "I've been looking all over for you- look, I just want to say I'm sorry. I've been a right prat-"
"Too right there," muttered Ginny. "So like I said, I really am sorry." Will finished.
"Oh all right," Ginny mumbled. "You're forgiven!"
"GINNY!" Hermione shrieked, running in. "Come with me to see who got what part! C'mon Harry- you too!"
Grabbing Ginny's hand, Hermione darted down to the notice board- it was surrounded by excited students like bees to a honey pot. Clara Thompson barged past Ginny. "Oh sorry," she said nonchantly. "But I can't wait to see if I got the part of Juliet! I'm rather sure I di-"
Clara abruptly stopped boasting when a space cleared and she saw the cast list. She turned on her heel and barged straight back out.
Ginny squeezed through the crowd gave a shriek of, "OMG! NO!" when she saw it:
'CAST LIST

Nurse: Clara Thompson'
Then there was a list of the chorus and other minor parts. "Wow!" Ginny breathed. "I got the part of Juliet!"
"Well done, Ginny!" Hermione squealed, hugging the shell-shocked girl. "Hey look- I play the part of your mum! And Ron's my hubby- and Harry's the chap who Romeo kills and- Oh." Hermione trailed off when she saw who was Romeo. "Malfoy," she spat in dislike. "Poor you, Gin."
But Ginny wasn't listening- she was intently staring at Harry and Will.
"Truce?" She heard Will say.
"Sure," Harry grinned and the two shook hands, now friends. Ginny bounded over happily. "We've agreed on a truce," Will explained. Nodding, Harry added, "Yeah- and Will should be beater. He [was] the best one there. Don't know how we'll tell Clara Thompson though."
"Poor Clara," Ginny said, "That will be the second blow today- I got the part she wanted and Will's taking her Quidditch position."
~*~
Later on after lessons, Harry went up to Clara in the common room. Ginny (lounging in a nearby armchair) saw him tell Clara, who stood up -looking devastated- and protested, "But I'm the beater! You [said]!"
"Come on, Clara." Harry said feebly. "Let's not make a scene now."
Clara unexpectedly burst into tears and pushed past Harry, tears flying down her flushed face.
"Hi," Will bound up behind Ginny and put his arms around her neck making her scream. Looking up she grinned, "God Will! You frightened me! Don't do that!"
Will gave an apologetic grin and -leaning over- nestled his cheek on Ginny's neck in an amorous fashion. His breath tickled her slender neck.
Suddenly, Will felt a slight wobble in his legs like someone had trip- jinxed him! He lost his footing and fell forward.
"SH*T!" He went head over heels on top of Ginny (who was frozen in shock), grabbed her collar to try and stop him cascading right over the chair- only resulting in half choking Ginny and pulling her down too. Will landed spectacularly- balancing on one elbow, his hand and one knee on a heap on the floor with Ginny on top of him!
"Oh God!" Will gasped, scrambling up and dusting Ginny down. "I am [so] sorry! Someone trip-jinxed me."
He looked around for any suspects but couldn't see anyone. "Are you okay?" he asked. Ginny nodded and added, "Are [you] okay? You look a bit rough- looking."
Indignantly, Will grabbed her and roared, "I AM rough! GGRRrrr! C'mere!" He wrapped Ginny in a bear hug. "I'll eat you alive!" He then pretended to nibble on her ear, making her shriek and pull away.
"Will!" Ginny squealed. "You cannibal! Anyway," she checked her watch. "It's time for Quidditch practice now. C'mon. Let's go,"
Laughing, Will scooped the petite Ginny up in a fireman's lift and patted her bum. "OI!" Ginny hollered. "PUT ME DOWN!"
"Let's go, Ginny." Will smirked, climbing out of the portrait hole with Ginny still struggling furiously.
Will carried Ginny all the way to the Quidditch pitch- much to her contempt and indignance!
"Ooh- who's lovely arse have you got hoisted on your shoulder?!" Seamus -one of the chasers- laughed.
"MINE!" Ginny roared. "SO SHOVE OFF!" Will laughed harder and dropped Ginny down. Luckily, she saw the funny side of it and joined in the laughter- after whacking Will hard over the head, of course. Oh- and cursing at him worse than a sailor."
"Right team! Mount your brooms!" Harry shouted, kicking off on his 'Firebolt'. The team was: Ron (keeper), Hermione, Seamus, Lavender (all chasers), Ginny and Will as beaters and Harry as the seeker.
The practice was a vibrant, thrilling one- especially with Will and Harry constantly showing off to Ginny; trying to impress her.
Near the end of the session, Ginny saw Draco Malfoy lurking at the edge of the pitch; holding something and sneering.
Ginny flew higher, Will following like and obedient puppy. Now showing off, Ginny twirled in the air and swooped impressively.
Finally it grew dark and they had to stop and land. Will and Ginny landed simultaneously and Will immediately clamped his arm around Ginny's waist.
'Lord he's a horny b*ggar today!' Ginny thought, grinning. Her grin rapidly faded when Malfoy stepped in front of her.
"Good evening, Miss Weasley." He said pleasantly enough- though he had a very snide smirk plastered on his face.
"Err.Good evening, Malfoy." Ginny replied uncertainly. Stepping forward, Malfoy said silkily, "Oh please! Call me Draco- after all, we are meant to be lovers in this play, aren't we?"
Ginny squirmed uncomfortably at these words. Will's hand slipped into hers, and she clutched it as she replied stiffly, "Well -Draco- is there a reason for your presence?"
Draco looked taken aback for a minute, but he quickly regained his posture and answered coolly, "Yes, actually. Here's your script-"
He passed her a script and continued. "Our first rehearsal is tomorrow. Goodnight." And with that he left.
Only when he had disappeared did Ginny realize he hadn't said when or where the rehearsal was. 'Damn it!"
~*~
When Ginny went to bed that night, Will gave her a rather slushy kiss goodnight on the lips- even using his tongue! He had followed her to the door of her dormitory and then kissed her. Whilst in the middle of their prolonged goodnight kiss, Clara stormed up.
"Excuse me," she snarled. "Some of us want to go to bed!" and she shoved Ginny out of the way, disappearing up into their dorm. From the force of Clara's push, Ginny accidentally bit down on Will's tongue!
"Oh! Oh! Sorry!" she stammered. "It's okay- it was that b*tch's fault." Will asserted, glaring after Clara. "Anyway- goodnight, Juliet!" He flashed a grin.
Laughing, Ginny smiled, "Night Will!" She turned and went up into her dorm- straight into the lion's den.
Clara was on the end of her bed, brushing out her long plait and talking avidly to her friends, Lucile storm (a 'pretty' blonde), Pandora Rice (a smug-looking girl with strawberry blonde curls) and Catelina Sayers (a small girl with short black hair).
"And she was stood right in the doorway- snogging that new guy-" Clara said spitefully.
"Ooh! He's a fitty!" Catelina squealed.
"Snogging him like there was no tomorrow!" finished Clara, smirking. "Desperate or what?!"
"Jesus, what a slut!" Lucile spat, flicking a lock of flaxen hair over her shoulder. "And then-"
Clara stopped abruptly when Ginny walked in, having heard everything the girls had been saying. "Oh! Hi Ginny!" said Clara, looking over. Everyone laughed, Pandora snorting.
Ginny awkwardly went over to her bed- the one by the window and chilling wind and pulled out her ponytail so her tousled flame-coloured hair fell down to her shoulders.
"Yeah, as I was saying, Pan." Clara continued, turning to Pandora. "Some girls nowadays are so pathetically needy for love- they'll get off with any jerk."
Clara turned and looked towards Ginny, who was sat on her bed; reading through her script and ignoring Clara. A dull redness creeped up Ginny's neck and she tensed, her eyes not following the words.
"I mean, let's take poor Ginny Weasley for example." Clara sniggered, her sharp eyes flicking in Ginny's direction. "First she was all sappy over Harry Potter-"
"Urgh! He's so scrawny!" Lucile squealed.
"Then she lost interest when it was obvious he'd never go out with someone like [her]! Next was Draco Malfoy, God don't get me started on that tw*t! He's such a player, and I mean did you see Ginny at the auditions?!"
Catelina nodded. "I know! Gross! They even kissed- that poor boy!"
The four girls shrieked with laughter, and Ginny felt herself go crimson. She pulled her curtains shut so they wouldn't see the tears welling up in her doe- like eyes.
"I think we hit a nerve!" Pandora whispered loudly, giggling.
"And after she'd secured a good place in the play, she ditched her darling Draco and begins playing tonsil tennis with the nearest boy in sight- and that Will is SUCH a d*ckhead!"
"Mmm." The girls agreed. "Oh yeah. A right w*anker."
"Did you see him latched onto [her] like some bl**dy limpet!" sneered Lucile. "I nearly puked!"
"Oh goodnight Juliet!" Clara called to Ginny, cattily mimicking Will. "Sweet dreams."
Ginny cried into her pillow, muffling her wracked sobs and couldn't shut out the four hags' b*tchy taunts that kept firing at her. She eventually cried herself to sleep; her tears soaking her pillow silently like a saturated sponge.
And that was only the start of her strife.
