Ginny somehow found it easier to cope with the following day. Her classes
were a breeze and eating seemed nice. She and Draco would steal a glance
and a smile whenever they pass each other or eat in the Great Hall.
She found it was time to make up for her behavior from the previous days. She looked up at Hermione who was sitting next to Harry and Ron, eating quietly. She wanted very badly to talk to her about everything, but would she listen? She slowly made her way over to her and sat beside her.
"Can I talk to you?" Ginny said while leaning on the table.
Hermione looked up at her and winced her eyes "what for?"
"Please?" she looked sincere, so Hermione gave in.
"Ok" they stood and walked out, Harry and Ron were watching hopefully Ginny would make Hermione feel better.
"Shoot," Hermione said leaning against the wall.
"Last Friday was not a good day, we both did something that we can't even bare to think why we did it, it was of very poor judgment and did not do us any good afterwards. But I honestly think you holding back and not talking, avoiding people just makes it ten times worse"
"You were doing the same thing"
"Yes, but I talked to someone"
"Who, Harry" she said turning and looking out the window.
"Draco"
Hermione frowned and looked down.
"Didn't he talk to you?"
"He did"
"And?"
"I slapped him, told him to go away, he isn't worth anything"
"How can you say that if you didn't give him a chance?"
"Oh but I gave him more than a chance didn't I?" She said turning and crossing her arms.
"What?"
"People have ears Ginny, I know what you said to him, so don't think you're a little saint, I don't like him, and your right I used really poor judgment going after him, but I can't change the past, people don't change that easily, he is just a slimy git that you should NOT hang around, look I want to be your friend, but I will not befriend Malfoy"
"I didn't say you had too"
"Than I guess its all settled" she walked off leaving Ginny staring out of the window.
"Ginny?" she turned and saw Malfoy.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
"I was going to go to my room but you were just standing here, looking out of the window"
"Why did you have sex with Hermione?"
"Why did you have sex with Blaise?"
"I really don't like it when you talk about him, it makes me uncomfortable"
"And you don't think you talking about Granger make me uncomfortable"
"Not as uncomfortable as me"
"Oh and why?" he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Because I am girl, boys handle.sex better than girls, men can just walk away, and girls can't"
"Look I am sorry I don't know why I even bother" he turned and started to walk.
"Draco..don't come back"
He looked at her waiting for her to say sorry.
"Ok I am sorry, no more talking about Blaise" she said.
"Ok, no more talking about Granger?"
"Deal" she smiled and started laughing.
"What?" he asked confused.
"We act like brother and sister"
"Right, like I would want a Weasly for a sister" He wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"Forget that like I would want a Malfoy for a brother" she smiled and he felt happy.
"That's right you'd just want to fuck me"
"Don't be so full of your self" she rolled her eyes looking ahead of her.
"Well.why don't you ever go for Potter?"
She looked up at him as if he were shit. He laughed and pulled her tighter in to him.
"Well why not?" he chuckled.
"Because Mr. MALfoy I wouldn't want all the publicity, I am a very private women"
"Is that so?" he mocked.
"Quite so" she mocked him back.
"So he wants you?" he grinned.
"O fuck yeah" she lied as he laughed "see I remember when it all first began, we were cool from the start, and then he would always blush and be shy around me, then I thought how pathetic, well then he would walk around my house in just some faded jeans and no shirt trying to get me to notice"
"And did you?" he played along.
"Like I would admit it" she for some reason was making him laugh.
"So?"
"Well finally I had to say babe you're cute and all but your just Ron's friend, I need a man not a little boy who thinks he can" she chuckled at her stupidity.
"Really why don't you go for him?"
She sighed and looked away.
"Why not?"
"Why should I?"
"Because you like him"
"He doesn't like me"
He watched her expression go from happy to sad.
"Not everyone likes everyone, usually everybody wants everybody else"
"Thanks"
"Well stop me if I am being rude, I am just trying to tell you like it is, would you rather me lie to you and tell you, you actually have a chance?"
"I guess not" she smiled not looking at his eyes.
"What about Ron, why doesn't he help you?"
"Like he would want his little sister hanging around"
"Speak of the devil" Draco said taking his arm off of Ginny.
Ginny looked up and saw Ron and Harry coming. She looked at Draco wide eyed, if they knew that her and Draco were friends, they'd flip.
"Stuff it Malfoy" Ginny said trying to sound irritated.
He catching on said "no one tells a Malfoy what to do Weasly"
"What's going on here?" Ron said as he and Harry glared at Malfoy.
"Malfoy is just being an asshole again" Ginny said smirking.
"Weasly next time you decide to open your gob, maybe you should ask for some money and buy some useful things, like clothes, because you look like a beggar off the street, and I thought your dad won money, guess it goes quickly when you don't have much"
Ginny glared at him "thanks a lot" she walked away leaving Ron and Harry glaring at him.
"Maybe next time you decide to open you mouth Malfoy, is when you're begging for forgiveness from the ministry," Harry said hotly.
"Ow, that really hurt Potter" Draco said while walking past in the same direction Ginny did.
When he found her she was looking for a book in the library trying to ignore him.
"That was close wasn't it?"
She didn't look up but kept looking over books.
He watched her seriousness "you know I was kidding right?"
"Somehow it seemed real" she didn't look at him.
"I didn't mean for it too"
She looked up at him arms crossed looking rather motherly.
"What?"
"If you can't see tell what I want you to say than we shouldn't,"
"What, you want me to say sorry"
"Would it hurt to say it?"
"I am not saying sorry to you" he said coolly.
She shook her head "you're impossible" turning and walking further down the isle.
"I'M impossible"
"It's impossible to even befriend you if you keep treating me this way"
"How?"
"You have no consideration for anyone, I am sick and tired of trying to read you mind, I never know your intentions, I just want to be your friend and you're making it hard"
"You want me to be considerate towards you?"
"That's not just it"
"Ok look at you, your hot one minute and cold the next, how long can emotions keep going up and down?"
She looked at the ground, not wanting to answer.
"I am trying really trying to be nice I already told you sorry, and that fucking mudblood, she through it in my face, you don't understand how hard it is to say sorry Ginny"
"Sorry, it's not that hard"
"It flows out your mouth and gets stuck in mine, I don't show my emotions as easily as you"
She looked up at him, trying decide what to say. His eyes mirrored hers the same expression plastered on their faces.
"I guess it shows that Slytherin and Gryffindor do not mix"
He watched her waiting for her to finish her thought.
"Look back in history, your lot become evil and mine become good, were not meant to cross these lines,"
"What are you saying?"
"Maybe we should just stop being...Friends"
He looked hurt by her words, and for the second time, she had ever seen, a sad expression.
He nodded his head and turned on his heal walking away. She clenched her jaw and rolled her eyes.
"Draco"
"The name is Malfoy to you Weasly" he called over his shoulder.
Her jaw dropped as she followed him "excuse me"
"Go beg for money" he said lazily and sped a little faster, robes flowing behind him.
She stopped and watched him sway in his casual walk. That's when she realized Poisoned hearts will never change.
She found it was time to make up for her behavior from the previous days. She looked up at Hermione who was sitting next to Harry and Ron, eating quietly. She wanted very badly to talk to her about everything, but would she listen? She slowly made her way over to her and sat beside her.
