A New Beginning Chp.5 A New Found Friend

The next morning everyone piled into the bus and sat next to their "other half". Ron and Abby had decided that they would keep their relationship going, Ron and Abby both knew they were perfect for each other. Hermione sat leaned back into Harry's lap and Harry had his head rested on Hermione's shoulder. Lavender and Justin sat the same way as Harry and Hermione but Justin had his face leaned up against Lavenders. Neville and Parvati sat next to each other hands held tight together and Parvati had her head leaning onto Neville's very muscular shoulder. Everyone was feeling great as they made their way to the train station so they could start their last and final year at Hogwarts.
"We're here everyone" yelled Parvati as the bus came to a stop and Harry woke-up with a very asleep Hermione in his lap. "Hermione, Hermione, HERMIONE!" Harry said loud enough so everyone turned around and looked at him. Harry's voice had also woken Lavender and Justin up. Ron and Abby stood up and both stretched. Abby was a little nervous about arriving at Hogwarts and not knowing anyone but the few she had met at her cousins party. She was however glad she had meet Ron, she had enjoyed the week with him and very much liked Ron.
As everyone piled off the bus Ginny came running up to Hermione and gave her a big hug. "Hey Hermione, I haven't seen you all summer." Cried Ginny. "Hey what have you been up to Ginny" Hermione asked still recovering from the surprise of Ginny's hug. "Well hello to you to" Harry said sarcastically as Ginny turned and gave Harry a hug to.
Everyone got going and they dragged their belongings onto the train and went to their normal compartment on the train where they had sat for the past six years of their education at Hogwarts. Harry sat down with Hermione happily perched on his lap as the other couples did the same. Ginny left and went to sit by herself this morning because she was feeling particularly down in the dumps but made sure no one expected it this morning. The train started and someone knocked on the door to the compartment, when she looked up to her surprise a very unexpected guess was standing in the doorway. "Do you mind if I hide out in here?" the unexpected guest asked. "No I don't mind" Ginny said still trying to realize who was standing there next to her.
The guest sat down and once again unexpectedly started talking to Ginny. They talked until the train came to a halt. They both hadn't noticed that the time had gone by that fast. The guest asked Ginny if they could get together again and not knowing what to say she said yes. He told her that he would get in contact with her. He was really surprised at what had happened. He had changed a lot over the summer. He no longer had his friends he used to they were mixed up in things he no longer was part of. Ginny sat staring at Draco Malfoy as he walked out of the train compartment. She had no clue what had happened but know she was getting feelings; did she have a crush on her brother's worst enemy, Draco Malfoy?
When they arrived in the Great Hall like they had done so many times in the past six years they sat down at their table and waited for the first years to be sorted into their houses. Ginny couldn't help but glance over to the Slytherin table and her eyes were automatically drawn to the blond haired pale blue eyed boy named Draco Malfoy. Draco smiled at from his table across the Great hall, he was being careful not to let anyone see that she was who he was smiling at. Even though he had changed over the summer he didn't want anyone else but Ginny knowing that, he didn't know why he had just opened up to her but he enjoyed having someone to talk to. She couldn't help but smile back at him and her cheeks turned a bright red. "Who are smiling at Draco?" a fellow Slytherin asked in a snotty tone. "Don't get that attitude with be you annoying prat" Draco snapped back, other Slytherins looked up to Draco and no one would contradict him. "Sorry" the sixth year Slytherin said in a tone once again Draco didn't like. "You should be" Draco shot back at the Slytherin who decided it best not to say anything further.
Over across the Great Hall Ginny sat in a daze turning her food over and over again in a circle around her plate. Hermione sat and watched out of the corner of her eye as Ginny stared across the Great Hall. Hermione knew that Ginny had spotted a guy already that she liked so very much, but Hermione didn't even begin to think that Ginny's crush for this year would be Draco Malfoy. After dinner in the Great Hall Ginny went back to her room, sitting on her bed was a note that she picked up and began to read.

Dear Ginny,

Meet me in the Great Hall at mid-night tonight in two days. I want to finish our talk we were having earlier. By the way, thanks for listening to me, you're a good friend. It won't be that hard for you to sneak out, look in your trunk and I've put an invisibility cloak in there for you, just make sure no one sees the cloak. See you tonight Ginny.
Your train pal,
Draco
Ginny leaned back on her bed and held the letter over her heart; she had just realized she had a crush on Draco Malfoy, the stunning 7th year with a reputation that wasn't that great in personality and in going through girls like chocolate frogs. She was a little nervous of having feelings for Draco because she didn't want her heart broken like he had done to so many other girls. It was only ten o'clock and she still had two hours and two days before she would meet Draco in the Great Hall. She sat and thought about her feelings for Draco and hoped that she wouldn't be like the other girls he had hurt.
Those two days were the longest days of my life Ginny Weasley thought as she walked underneath the invisibility cloak Draco had sent her along with a letter earlier that week. Ginny arrived in the Great Hall, she looked around for Draco and he was no where in site. Ginny decided to wait and maybe he would show up in a couple minutes and he was just running a little late. After waiting ten minutes in the Great Hall Ginny decided to go to bed. If Draco wanted to talk so bad then he should've been here on time Ginny thought to herself as she walked back to Gryffindor tower very angry with Draco.
As Ginny rounded the corner someone reached out and grabbed her by the waist pulling her into a room that she had never realized was there before. "Well hello Miss Weasley, so good of you to join me" Draco said smiling down at Ginny still holding her around the waist. "Well Malfoy I thought said to meet you in the Great Hall" Ginny said still quite angry about having to wait in the Great Hall by herself. "So your back to calling me Malfoy are you, now your starting to sound like your brother" Draco said sounding so sweet to Ginny it made her smile. "I am sorry you had to wait I meant to catch you on the way out but I guess you walked past before I could see you" Draco said. "But I thought you said it was an invisibility cloak, that no one can see me when I was under it" Ginny said sounding some what panicked. "Don't worry Ginny it is, I just have a spell on it that only I can see the person under the cloak, and by the way, it's yours, I thought that since we've been talking so much that maybe we would both be doing a lot of sneaking out. Since that is the only way that we'll be able to see each other." Draco said feeling somewhat disappointed with the last sentence. "Oh" was all Ginny could manage before Draco leaned down and kissed her lightly. At first she didn't know what was happening but then her senses took over, she kissed him back. He pulled away and had a surprising look on his face like he hadn't known what had happened. "Ginny I'm so sorry, I hope I didn't offend you" Draco stuttered. "Draco its okay, I liked it" Ginny said so quiet Draco barely heard her. Draco didn't have time to think because Ginny leaned in and kissed him, but this time they leaned into each other giving a strong embrace. Ginny opened her mouth giving Draco a green light to do the same. As they kissed each other first starting soft and slow they had picked up speed and were now into a full forced snog. Draco picked Ginny up still not breaking the kiss and carried her up the steps and laid her on a blanket at the top of the steps. Ginny had no control of what she was doing, she couldn't stop herself, and she hoped that Draco had the power to stop. Draco kissed Ginny more and more until neither one could breathe then Ginny pulled away and broke the kiss, she looked up at Draco and smiled widely. She knew in her own mind that he loved her and she loved him, even though they had just discovered these feelings they both knew.
Draco lay down next to Ginny and they talked, the talking didn't last very long before they were back snogging again. Draco ran his hands down the front of Ginny blouse and started to unbutton it. Ginny smiled while she was kissing Draco because she knew his hands felt so good and he knew it to. After an hour of being together in the Astronomy Room Draco decided it was probably best if Ginny and him went back to their own rooms because they both knew they couldn't prevent of going to far before they were ready. "Bye Draco" Ginny said sounding very disappointed. "Bye Ginny, do you want to meet here tomorrow night?" "Sure" Ginny said wanting to continue what they had started tonight.
Ginny turned to walk down the stairs to the Astronomy Tower and Draco followed her down the steps to hand her the invisibility cloak. When he grabbed her shoulder to hand her the cloak she turned around and threw herself in his arms. She loved Draco and she knew she shouldn't. There was a connection between them that had been there all along but neither one had wanted to admit it. Draco knew that Ginny was the one; he had been enemies with her brother since their first year at Hogwarts. Draco had been looking for the right person for his whole life, one that loved him and didn't want him to be something he wasn't he had found that, and he had found it in Ginny. "I love you Ginny" Draco whispered in her ear which gave Ginny a wave of chills that ran up her spin. "I love you to Draco" "No Ginny, you don't understand, I love you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life" Draco said looking down into Ginny's eyes.
They had only started really knowing each other for a few days and already Ginny knew she wanted to be with Draco forever to. She also knew that her brothers and many other people would not accept Draco as her love; they wouldn't want to believe it and would probably think Draco was up to no good. "I'll always love you Draco, but will our friends and family see that we love each other. I know we've only known each other intimately for a few days but I cant help how I fell, neither of us can Draco." Ginny gazed up at Draco and a single solitary tear ran down her face.
Draco leaned down and kissed it away, they were in love and they both knew that their friends and family wouldn't accept the other one, but they didn't care. They sat for another hour in the Astronomy Tower window, wrapped up in each others arms. Draco sat and gently kissed Ginny's neck over and over again. Ginny loved how his lips felt up against her neck. Their hands were linked in the others and they talked and gazed at the stars together. Ginny had never realized how sensitive Draco was. "You know Ginny no one has ever made me feel like this; I really do love you Ginny" "I love you two Draco and I know this will last, but how will we get our families to agree to us, I couldn't live without my family Draco." "I know Ginny don't worry we'll figure something out, when the time is right."
And with that Ginny turned around in Draco's lap and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Draco walked Ginny back to the Gryffindor Tower and gave her a long kiss good-night, tomorrow changes were going to start happening. Ginny stood and watched Draco walk away, because he had put the same spell on his invisibility cloak so that Ginny was the only person who could see him. She said the password and walked into the Gryffindor common room where she saw Ron and Abby asleep on the couch, curled up together. Ginny slipped up the stairs to the girl's bedroom and quickly changed and slipped into bed. The next morning she would wake up to a day she would never forget.
Ginny stepped out of the Gryffindor tower and was very surprised when she saw Draco leaning up against the wall. When Draco saw Ginny walk out of the Gryffindor Tower his face lit up in a smile. He walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey baby, and how are you this morning?" Draco asked his face still lit up from seeing her. "Draco what are you doing, I thought we were going to keep us a secret." Ginny said looking over her shoulder to make sure no one was around. "I'm tired of this secret, I love you Ginny Weasley and I want the whole school to know. Are you willing to tell everyone, or do you not want people to know?" Draco asked his face no longer lit up like it had been. "Draco I've wanted everyone to know all along I was keeping it a secret for you" Ginny said almost in tears because she knew Draco wasn't just kidding about how much he loved her. "Well in that case let's get going Ginny" "I love you Ginny" Draco said reaching down taking her books and her hand in his. "I love you to Draco" Ginny said still blown away that Draco actually wanted everyone to know about them.
The great thing was Draco and Ginny had all the same classes, up till lunch together because Ginny was taking some advanced classes this year. When they walked into their first class together, holding hands, everyone turned to look. The first reaction they got was Ron and Harry jumping out of their chairs. "What the hell do you think your doing Malfoy?" Ron practically screamed at the top of his lungs. "Oh bugger of Ron, I'm with Draco so get over it" Ginny said staring Ron straight in the eye.
Ron felt like he had been slapped in the face as Draco and Ginny walked and sat down hand in hand. Then what made Ron really start to boil is when Draco ran is hand from where it was perched on Ginny's knee all the way to the top of her thigh and then Ron saw her smile. After class was over Draco picked up Ginny's books and they started to walk out of the room to their next class. Before they could Ron came up to them and tapped Ginny on the shoulder. Ginny turned around and so did Draco. "What are you thinking Ginny, he's just using you." Ron said still steaming from earlier in the class. "I'm thinking I found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with Ron." Ginny said looking at Ron directly in the face not backing down. "You're to young Ginny you don't even know what love is." Ron shot at her. "Oh and I suppose you do" Ginny shot back. "Yeah! I'm in love with Abby, I do know what it feels like Ginny and you can't feel that for Malfoy it's not possible" "No Ron it is possible you just don't want it to be possible because I'm your little sister and by the way he has a name and it's Draco" Ginny screamed in Ron's face. "Come on sweetie lets go before we're late for our next class" Ginny said to Draco.
They both turned around and walked out without even saying a word to Harry pr Ron. Harry stayed and tried to come down Ron a little. Once again Ron felt like he had been slapped in the face by his little sister. Harry turned to Hermione and Abby turned to Ron and they all walked out. They all also knew everything was about to change in Hogwarts, but were they ready for it. This was definitely a new Beginning for everyone. Ginny and her new found friend were a little to friendly for Ron's taste and if Ron had anything to say about it they wouldn't be friends for much longer.
