The Curse of the Green Dragon
Chapter 7:
Today was a good day for Draco. He witnessed a good show during breakfast. He crushed Potters dreams of being happy. He even helped in the process of Gryffindor points being deducted without even breaking a sweat. A good day indeed! But of course there was homework. &Damned homework. I'm a Malfoy. I should be acquitted of all homework& The Slytherin common room wasn't Draco's ideal place to study. Crabbe and Goyle decided tonight was the perfect night to have a belching contest. Draco wasn't able to get much reading done in his Standard Book of Spells so he decided to go to the library. Perhaps there he would be able to study. Draco gathered up his books, quills and parchment and went on his way to the library. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Hey Ron, can you help me with this Potions essay?" Ginny asked
"Nope. You wouldn't want me to help you in anything that you would actually get graded on. By Snape no less." Ron replied, "You'd be better off having a monkey do it."
"Damnit. Hermione, can you help me? You're a wiz on this stuff." Ginny begged
"Sorry Ginny, I'm totally mobbed with Divination homework," Hermione said while staring into a tea cup, "I have to read theses tea leaves and then write an essay on what my vision was and how it's significant to anything in our lives."
"Ok, thanks anyway. At least your excuse was a good one," Ginny said while staring at Ron, "I'll just go to the Library and read some more on the subject. Maybe that'll help me."
"See you later Ginny." Hermione squeaked in between her stares. Then suddenly Hermione saw something in her tea leaves. The image was cloudy but slowly got clearer. Hermione saw a young woman. Her face was delicate and bright brown eyes. Her hair was a vibrant red and was long past her shoulders. She looked extravagant. It was Ginny. Her eyes were so full of happiness and love. @Hmm..I guess this essay is going to be harder than I thought. How am I going to be able to tell how Ginny is significant to my life? Crap@. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Draco sat down at the furthest table in the back of the library. & Oh yeah. I'm defiantly going to get some reading done here!& Draco opened his book looked at the pages then slowly looked up. "Holy Crap. I'm actually interested in reading. I'm turning into a Male version of Granger!" Draco's face was covered in horror as he threw the book far from him and slammed his head on the table top. When he heard a loud "OW!" he raised his head slowly from the table and saw the youngest Weasely rubbing her calve from the book attack. "Oops, sorry about that" Draco said trying to hold back a laugh
"Yeah, I'm sure you are" Ginny replied in a sarcastic tone. Ginny let out a sigh, dropped hid book back on his table top and she went to go sit down at another table to struggle on her essay. Draco could tell she was having trouble with something and he noticed her rubbing her leg where the book hit her. Draco kind of felt a little bit sorry for the book accident. "Having trouble with something?"
"Yeah. I hate Potions." Ginny blurted out.
"Well that is common with all Gryffindors." Draco said with his signature smirk. Draco stood up and walked over to Ginny, "Maybe I can be of some help."
"Pffft. I bet you can, but why would you want to help a little ole' Gryffindor? Let alone a 'weasel'." Ginny said while staring at her blank piece of parchment.
"Fine, if you don't want a Potions expert to help you, then sod off." Draco said slowly walking away.
"Wait...I actually do need help," Ginny blurted out. *Why am I asking him for help? Am I truly that desperate? Come on Ginny! Think about what he did to you. But he didn't really do anything. It was Harry that actually cheated on you*
"Well," Draco said casually walking back to Ginny's table and pulled a chair next to Ginny. Ginny lightly blushed, "What is your essay on?"
"I'm supposed to write the ingredients and the steps to make a boil curing potion. And I was doing fine in Snape's class until I added the porcupine quills into the potion but it didn't work. I don't know what I did wrong" Ginny said with frustration.
"Hmm..." Draco said as he read over her procedures. Ginny looked up at Draco while he was reading. His face was so stern and serious looking. His hair was falling into his cold-gray eyes, framing his face. Even if Ginny hated to admit it, he was quite charming. "Here's your problem. You added the porcupine quills too early. You were supposed to take the cauldron off the fire first, then add the quills." Draco said as his face started softening a bit. Damn, he was attractive.*Stop it Ginny He's Gay. He Slept with Potter!* Ginny shook her head for a moment.
"Duh! Stupid me!" Ginny said while smacking her forehead. Draco started to giggle at Ginny's act of stupidity. "Thank you Draco." Ginny said then she quickly started to write on the parchment. "Hmm, since when have you stopped referring to me as 'Malfoy'?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow at Ginny's remark.
"Oh, I don't know, ever since I started to hate Potter. I guess I just felt like changing my traditions of names." Ginny said with a little hate in her voice when she said "Potter"
"Whoa, since when do you hate Potter?" Draco asked with a little bit a mystery in his voice.
"You know, ever since I caught you two 'making sweet love' in his bedroom last night." Ginny said with a weird tone in her voice
"HA! I wouldn't really call that 'making sweet love' my dear," Draco said with a little giggle in his voice. Whenever he did some sort of laugh it made his face softer and more attractive. "I would have actually called that 'an act off of a dare'."
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked in confusion.
"Well, one night Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, and I were playing Truth or Dare. And Pansy dared me to make Potter fall 'in love' with me and then break his heart and ruin his life buy having you hate him. It was a fairly simple task." Draco confessed with ease.
Ginny's eyes went wide. She couldn't believe her ears. *Wow, so Draco's not gay. Well that's a good sign. He's really attractive. And he's acting really nice to me all of a sudden, I wonder what's up?*
"I have just one more question to ask you Draco."
"Ask away young Weasely."
"Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden? Before you never acknowledged my presence and all of a sudden we're having a civil conversation, alone, in the back of the library."
"Well Ginny, I've noticed over the past few months that you're no longer a little girl. In fact you're a rather attractive woman in my eyes." Draco started to move his chair closer to Ginny. Ginny started to blush a lot more. He could tell she was embarrassed. He raised his hand and softly caressed her cheek, Ginny heart fluttered at his soft skin touching hers. Ginny connects eye-contact with Draco; His cold-gray eyes aren't as cold as usual.
"In fact, if I wanted to I would consider getting together with a person like you. You're very gorgeous Ginny." All Ginny could do was stare into his eyes. Ginny couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You can control that and become a very powerful woman. Think about it." Then Draco softly but swiftly kissed her cheek. Ginny's face turned a bright shade of red. Ginny raised her hand up to her face and felt the spot where Draco left his mark. She looked up at him and she smiled.
"Um..Thank you for, um...your help Draco. You really, um, helped a lot." Ginny started to giggle like a giddy, little school-girl. When Draco was on his way out of the library he turned his head back towards Ginny and winked at her. Ginny's face was hotter than wild-fire. All Ginny could think was * How did I get myself into this?* Draco's touch lingered on her skin for the longest time. Ginny's hand never left that spot for the entire evening.
