OUR OWN OLYMPUS
A Hogwarts Twist on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"
Written by Daniel Odysseus
Before I start I would like to thank everyone for all their reviews. Oh, and concerning UglinessRox55's Chapter 6 Review: I may choose to end it like Romeo & Juliet, but then again, I may choose to end it differently. There will be a bit of a plot twist, too; some deaths will occur that are neither Draco or Ginny in the course of this story. As well as a chain of very disastrous coincidences happening to our unfortunate young lovers and their friends... But I'm not one to give anything away, of course...
PART SEVEN:
"What, are you still mad about Draco?" Harry asked, as he and Ron walked through the corridors to the Great Hall.
"How could I not be?" Ron shrieked, very much on edge. "Did you even see what he did? I should kill him." He drew out his wand. "I should kill him right now."
"No, you shouldn't," Harry said quickly, pushing Ron's wand down. "Don't do anything rash, Ron. I'm sure Ginny didn't even enjoy it. I'm betting that she just did it out of nerves. She's been going out with Thomas for a year and a half, and she just had to figure out that they were still in love. So she kissed the first boy she saw."
"Draco Malfoy?" Ron asked skeptically.
"Yes," Harry said. "It was dark. She probably didn't even know it was him."
"You think?"
"Yeah," Harry replied. "I'm sure." He saw Hermione in front of the door to the Great Hall. "Hey, Hermione! Are you getting breakfast, or patrolling that door?"
"I'm not patrolling this door!" she screeched. "What would even give you that idea?"
"Relax, Hermione, I was only joking," Harry replied. "Let's go in. I'm starving."
"No!"
"Why not, Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Well, Ginny-" she stopped. She couldn't say anything more without giving away the secret wedding that was occurring behind the doors.
"Ginny? Is she still there?" Ron asked. "I need to talk to her."
"Yes, I mean, no, I mean, she- she just left," Hermione said, with as much ease as she could muster.
"You're a terrible liar, you know?" Ron told her. "Is Ginny in there?"
"Yes," Hermione sighed. "But Ron-" She stopped. "Never mind. How about we go back to the common room and wait for her there?"
"It's urgent," Ron replied. "Look, Hermione, if you don't move, I'm going to hex you."
"Ron, trust me, you don't want to go in there!" She didn't want to know what Ron would do if he caught them together, especially since Ron had just gotten over seeing them kissing last night.
"Yes, I do!" Ron growled. "Hermione-"
"And don't tell anyone," they heard Ginny say on the opposite side of the door. "I want to keep it a secret until, well, until my parents come today." There was a bit of a pause before she continued. "But I love you, Draco."
"Draco?" Ron mouthed to Harry. "Malfoy?"
"I don't think there's another Draco in this school," Harry rasped under his breath. "Just listen!"
"I love you, too, Ginny," Draco said. "And I'm going to love you forever."
"Forever, Draco," Ginny echoed, kissing him softly.
"I've never loved anyone before you," Draco confessed to her.
"So you're over Pansy, then?"
"Oh, that relationship was nothing," Draco told her sincerely. "That was nothing like this." He paused. "So what about you and Thomas?"
"That was nothing, too," Ginny said. "I can't believe I ever fell for him. It was so... I didn't know what I was missing until I met you, Draco." She sighed. "I have to go to Thomas, and prepare him for the news. He's not going to be exactly thrilled. Meet me later, okay?"
"At the astronomy tower?"
"Why there?"
"It's the highest tower in the school," Draco explained, "and it's the only place fit for a goddess like you. It'll be our Mount Olympus. So meet me there at five?"
"Five," Ginny repeated. "I'll see you then." Ron, Harry, and Hermione darted out of the way, just as Draco and Ginny came out, and began to go down the corridor.
"Do you believe her?" Ron gasped, when the couple was out of earshot. "And him?"
"Malfoy," Harry muttered. "That's just insane. She can't know what he's like. The Malfoys are evil to the core, that whole damned family!"
"To think, she could've had Thomas," Ron sighed. He stopped. "Wait. She couldn't love Malfoy. There's no way in hell that she could choose Malfoy over Thomas. I'd bet any money that he had Snape brew a love potion for him!"
"Ron, don't jump to conclusions-" Hermione began.
"No," Ron snapped, on the onset of a rage by now. "No!" He turned to his two friends. "You're going to keep Ginny occupied at five. Okay? And I'm going to meet Malfoy, and get the truth out of him!"
