My dream was awful but I woke up with a start to see Hermione stood next to
my bed.
"Ginny. Its nine o'clock you wanted to talk to Harry remember?" said herms.
"Oh yeah and I've got a date with Draco at ten too. I'd best get a move on." I said grabbing my turquoise comb from my bedside dresser and pulling it through my hair.
"Oh really. So have you sorted out what you're going to do?" asked herms sitting on my bed.
"Not really." I admitted changing my clothes to a red mini skirt and matching top under my black robes.
"So are you going to tell them how you feel?" asked herms.
"Yeah I guess. I mean I don't have any choice do I?" I asked zipping up my boots.
"You do have a choice. But I guess telling them is the best option." said herms putting my hair in a French plait.
"Later Herms." I said getting up and walking towards the door.
"Good luck Gin." smiled Herms stretching out on my bed.
I walked down to the common room and found Harry playing chess with Ron.
Harry saw me and Ron looked up and sensed we wanted to be alone before leaving the room and going to his dorm.
"Hi Harry." I said shyly sitting down in Ron's chair.
Harry nodded in response and looked at the ruins of pieces on the ancient board.
"Look Harry I'm sorry." I sighed putting my hand under his chin and making him face me.
"For what?" asked Harry his emerald eyes looking puzzled.
"For confusing you. I really do love you, Harry but I need time to think." I said my thumb rubbing his lips.
"I understand." Harry sighed the disappointment becoming obvious in his eyes. He took my hand in his and kissed my fingers lightly.
"I'll wait as long as I have to for you Gin, " he said before he left an imprint on the middle of my hand.
"Can I please use your cloak?" I asked my eyes begging him.
"All right." said Harry passing me the cloak that was under his chair.
"I'll give you it back tomorrow. I promise." I said kissing his cheek before getting out of my chair and putting the cloak on.
I walked out the portrait hole and made my way through the school to the Astronomy tower. It was kind of exciting and a few times Filch and Mrs. Norris nearly caught me.
At five to ten I arrived and climbed the steps to the tower. I reached the top and took off the cloak. Draco wasn't there but I knew what he was like. Draco was famous for being fashionably late.
At ten past ten Draco arrived and looked around for me. He found me sat on the stone windowsill looking into the starry sky.
"Gin." whispered Draco causing me to turn round.
"Draco." I said climbing down from the windowsill and running into his arms.
Draco turned to a portrait that was asleep on the wall and tapped the copper frame causing it to wake up.
"Oh Grandson its you." smiled the old man his eyes glittering.
"Yes Grandpa its me. French." Said Draco his arm around my waist.
"Now Draco don't you, two get up to too much mischief or you'll get poor old me into trouble." winked the old man before the portrait moved showing a cosy little room.
Draco led me in and the portrait closed behind us.
"Who's that?" I asked looking over my shoulder.
"My great great Grandpa Draco Malfoy the fifth. I'm named after him actually though I'm Draco Malfoy the ninth myself." smiled Draco sitting down on a leather chair.
"Look Draco I've got something to tell you." I said sitting in his lap.
"What is? Has Potter been bugging you?" asked Draco.
" No Harry's not done anything. Actually he has but not in the way you mean." I sighed.
"Well what's he done?" asked Draco.
"Actually I did it. I kissed him on the train here." I said.
Draco's eyes narrowed and he threw me out of his lap.
I ended up in a heap on the near by bed.
"You kissed Potter? You two-timing little bitch. I'm going to make you sorry you ever cheated on me then maybe you'll never do it again." snarled Draco.
He got on the bed and began kissing me menacing as though trying to prove something.
"Draco stop it!" I squealed trying to get away.
"No I won't. You deserve this you shrew. And I'll be taming you at last." said Draco his hands peeling my robes off.
"Draco please I'm begging you. Don't do this." I said moving the part of the bed that was against the wall.
"I'm doing it for your own good bitch! So shut up and enjoy." smirked Draco throwing my robes to one side and throwing himself on me.
An hour later I sat on the bed half dressed and bruises and cuts covering naked flesh.
I sobbed miserably glad Draco had left a while ago after thinking I'd finally learned my lesson. I dressed quickly and put the hood up to my robe.
I went out the room and grabbed the cloak from the sill and walked back to Gryffindor house my head aching with pain from being banged on the wall.
I went straight to my dorm and cried bitter tears silently as not to wake my dorm mates.
I dressed in silk pyjamas and climbed into bed pulling my drapes round. I stared at the fabric ceiling of my bed and waited till dawn to fall asleep.
"Ginny. Its nine o'clock you wanted to talk to Harry remember?" said herms.
"Oh yeah and I've got a date with Draco at ten too. I'd best get a move on." I said grabbing my turquoise comb from my bedside dresser and pulling it through my hair.
