Draco held me close as we sat in a muggle cinema in London. I looked up at
him and saw the light out line his handsome firm cheekbones and gelled back
silvery blonde hair.
The movie finished and Draco lead me out of the theatre. Crabbe and Goyle were waiting like bodyguards outside for us.
Sometimes its hard dating a Deatheaters son, especially when your father works in the ministry of magic.
We walked towards Diagon alley and turned off towards kings cross. We walked through the barrier and walked on to platform nine and three quarters.
Draco kissed me goodbye before he, Crabbe and Goyle walked off to the compartment his dad had reserved for him.
I waited for my parents, Ron, Harry and Hermione to arrive with my luggage. They arrived a few minutes later.
Pig was shrieking loudly as usual, Hedwig rolled her big amber eyes and Crookshanks sulked in his travel basket.
"Hey Ginny how's your summer?" asked Harry casually with a smile.
"Fine." I said calmly.
The conductor yelled for everyone to get aboard. Mum passed all our trunks onto the storage compartment while we climbed into the only empty compartment.
Hermione buried her head in her book while the rest of us played exploding snap.
The lady with the snack trolley came and Harry and Ron ended up having the usual gorge on junk food. I threw my sandwiches out the compartment and heard a "oomph," in walked Crabbe, mayonnaise dripping down his face.
"Sorry." I winced.
Crabbe grumbled as he passed me a note.
He picked lettuce off his face as he walked out the compartment.
Ron gave me a disapproving look and Harry munched another chocolate frog not noticing.
"Who's it from?" asked Hermione briefly looking up from her book in interest.
"No-one important." I lied as I stuffed the note into the pocket of my denim skirt.
"Oh really?" asked Ron getting up and walking towards me.
"Oh no. Ron doesn't get any ideas." I exclaimed moving away.
Ron wrestled me to the ground and pulled the note out of my pocket.
"Ron! Get off it! It's private!" I yelled as Ron passed the note to Harry who had got up.
"Oh for Merlin's sake, Ron! Leave your sister alone." said Hermione closing her book and getting up. She helped me off the floor.
"Thanks." I smiled before running at Harry.
"Pass it here!" yelled Ron at Harry.
Harry threw it and Ron caught it. Barely.
"Hermione I could do with some help here!" I yelled as Harry held me and Ron opened the note.
"OK. Just a sec." said Hermione picking up her book. She walked over to Harry, her book raised above her head.
"No Hermione!" yelled Harry dodging the book.
Hermione set her sights on Ron. She hit him hard on the head and he fell to the floor with the note still in his hand.
Hermione grabbed the note and passed it to me.
I managed to get free from Harry and grab it before Harry realised what was going on.
I sat down on the seat and opened the note. Harry and Hermione helped Ron on to the seat opposite.
The note read
Hey Gin (my babe),
I've only just left you but I miss you like crazy.
Meet me at the Astronomy tower @ 10. Use Potters cloak if you can.
See you then, love you loads,
Draco.
I refolded the note and put it back in my pocket.
Harry had fallen asleep, his eyelids flickering at the sound of Ron's snoring.
Hermione got up from her seat and sat next to me, her eyes filled with concern.
"Ginny what's going on?" she asked her book on the bench long forgotten.
"Do you really want to know?" I asked.
She nodded.
"I'm going out with someone but the problem is you guys, not to mention my family, hate him." I explained fiddling with the ring my mother gave me for my 16th birthday.
"And who is it?" asked Hermione.
"Promise you won't freak?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Draco Malfoy." I said.
She gasped.
"You're going out with Draco Malfoy?" she asked waking up Harry.
"What's going on?" asked Harry noticing Hermione's shocked expression.
"You tell him, I'm too shocked to explain," said Hermione moving away from me and going out the compartment in a hurry.
"Well?" asked Harry.
"I'm going out with Draco Malfoy." I said calmly avoiding Harry's sexy green eyes.
"What? Does Ron know?" demanded Harry.
"No and I'm not looking forward to telling him." I admitted.
Harry went over to where Ron was laid on the bench and shook him awake.
"What?" yelled Ron getting up.
"Ron, Ginny's got something to tell you. I'm going to go get our robes. Be back in a sec." said Harry before he practically ran out the compartment like Hermione had done.
I sat down next to Ron and could tell he wasn't looking forward to this either.
"So what's this about?" asked Ron setting him self for the worst.
"I've been seeing someone over the summer. And even though I know you won't like who I'm seeing at least you know the truth." I said looking at my hands.
"OK." said Ron looking confused.
"OK. I'm going out with...." I wanted to say it but my mind wouldn't let me.
"Well?" asked Ron getting impatient.
' Don't tell him you know he'll attack him." my head said.
'But he has to know the truth. Just tell him already and get it over with.' said my heart.
"I'm going out with Draco Malfoy." I said ignoring my heads advice.
"Tell me you're kidding?" yelled Ron.
"Sorry but its true." I gulped wondering what would happen next.
"Show me proof," hissed Ron sounding like Snape.
"OK." I said. I took off my locket with Draco's picture in and handed to him.
Ron stared at it in disbelief.
"Where's that knob head?" asked Ron angrily dropping the item back into my hand.
"Ron no!" I yelled.
Hermione came in dragging Draco behind her.
Harry followed her with our three robes under his arm.
Ron pulled out his wand.
"No Ron I'm begging you." I cried. Draco got out of Hermione's grasp and held me as I wept into his chest.
"Its OK. Gin I'll be OK. I promise." whispered Draco kissing my head.
I looked up at his crystal eyes and we kissed deeply.
Hermione and Harry grabbed my arms and pulled me out the compartment.
We went to the compartment where Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Company was sitting swooping chocolate frog cards and other stuff.
I sat down next to Terry Boot a seventh year Ravenclaw who was talking to Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Lavender brown sat down at the other side of me and tried hard to comfort me. It was obvious Hermione had told her what was going on.
"Its OK Gin, Draco's a big boy. He can take care of himself." assured Lavender rubbing my back.
I smiled a watery smile through my worried tears.
A flash came from the corridor. Harry got up off his seat and went back to where Ron and Draco were.
I began a game of wizard's chess with Hannah Abbott to forget my worries.
Hermione looked worried but hid it by reading ' spells for older witches and wizards grade seven'
Harry came back, sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Err Hermione, Ron needs a bit of help. Malfoy's torturing him!" exclaimed Harry wiping his brow.
"OK, OK. I'm coming," said Hermione pulling out her wand and following Harry out the compartment.
I stopped playing and looked at Hannah. I could tell she knew I was scared.
The movie finished and Draco lead me out of the theatre. Crabbe and Goyle were waiting like bodyguards outside for us.
