Chapter 8 - drignosis dilemma

Ginny didn't bother changing into her pajamas. The night wind blowing in her currently opened window felt cool and forgiving against her flushed face. She closed her eyes and let the night's events sink into her mind. She had started the day, angrily trying to get a meaningless crush to notice her. All of that really didn't seem important to her anymore. More importantly she had spent a wonderful evening with mortal enemy. Well ex- mortal enemy. They had kissed twice. She sighed deeply as she looked around her room. She honestly needed to do some decorating. The walls were a faded orange, as this was Ron's old room. She had never gotten around to repainting it. Looking around in the room she noticed how little she owned. All of the furniture, curtains, and the bed things were previously owned by her brothers. "I really need to get a place of my own" she thought aloud.

Turning her gaze to a particularly dark corner o the room, she noticed something move. Or was it just her imagination? She couldn't tell, because if there was something there, it hadn't moved again. She sat on her bed, frozen to the spot. She wanted to know what it was, but she felt the need to stay put. "Hello?" Ginny managed bravely. With her words, the darkness moved yet again.

Ginny frantically searched her room for a weapon. Her wand was currently in possession of her brother, as he was trying his best to fix it, after it was damaged in a freak de-gnoming accident.

She felt her frustration, as she looked at the corner. What was she to do? There was definitely, someone, or something thing in that corner. But what it was, and how she was going to get rid of it, were the two questions, currently unanswered. As she was finding herself ready to go mad, the figure stepped forward.

(I should stop it there and let you suffer, but that would be too short of a chapter, besides I wanna be nice. Hee Hee. *author clears throat in a business like way* and now back to the story*)

"Harry?" Ginny exclaimed, before she fell off the side of her bed in relief.

"May I help you?" Ginny asked, obviously glad it was him and not someone else.

"What is wrong with you?" Harry yelled. "Malfoy? Honestly Gin, I thought you had better taste than that!" Harry, noticing his tone and attitude, blushed a dark red and looked down at his feet.

"Oh. And I suppose by better taste you mean you? Well I'm sorry but I had to move on. Can't wait around forever. Besides I happened to have had the most wonderful night of my life tonight. I am starting to like Draco. Not that it's any of your business!" Ginny Screamed. She screamed at him so loudly that the few people eavesdropping outside of her door had to back away in surprise.

Harry, looking deeply hurt murmured while heading for the door "Sorry Gin. If you want to get hurt, that's fine by me." And with that he left the room and a rather fuming Ginny behind him as he shut the door.

Ginny fell back onto her bed as Ron and Hermione rushed into the room. "Well, seeing as you were listening in on the conversation, any questions?" Ginny stated in an annoyed voice.

Ron spoke up, "Ginny, I thought the only reason you went out with Malfoy, was to get Harry's attention, so why were you yelling at him like that?"

Hermione nodded in response as she moved o sit next to Ginny on the bed.

"Well, that has changed a bit. I realized tonight that I needed to move on. He's married, and I don't have a chance. I need to have a life and not spend it waiting on him." Ginny said, the sadness in her voice growing with each word.

Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but didn't get the chance, as everyone was quite distracted with the handsome gray owl, currently sitting atop Ginny's shoulder.

Ginny picked up the letter as she stroked the owls feathers soothingly.

Ginny, I had a wonderful time tonight. I would be delighted if you would join me tomorrow evening, for a picnic under the stars. If you will join me, send a reply, and I will apparate to your house, and we will be off. Please say yes.
Draco

Ginny's sadness quickly disappeared after reading the letter. Seeing this look upon his sister's face, Ron snatched the letter out of her enclosed hand.

After reading the letter, Ron's ears went a drastically dark pink as he roughly handed the letter to Hermione, and continued to glare at his sister.

"Another date?" Ron managed in an abnormally high voice.

Ginny nodded her head, looking a little frightened. "You, actually enjoy spending time with h-him?"

Ginny, getting a little agitated, stood up and returned her brother's glare. "As a matter of fact I do. If you would take the time, he has changed a lot since school, and obviously, he likes me, so he doesn't hold grudges, why should you? Ginny screamed in a matter of one breath.

"And if you don't mind I would like it if you would leave, so I can reply to my letter.

Ron stormed out of the room only to turn around and motion to Hermione to follow him. "Hermione, you can stay." Hermione briefly nodded to Ginny.

"Goodbye Ron!" she shouted as he slammed the door in frustration.

"So, you like him?" Hermione said as she read over the letter.

Ginny nodded briskly as she grabbed some parchment and a quill to get started on her letter.

"I'm getting over Harry. Slowly, but surely, I am." Ginny said.

Draco, Of course I will join you! I really enjoyed our time together this evening. I will obviously be seeing you tomorrow night. That sounds so romantic. I hope to see you soon.
Love from
Ginny

As she signed her name and shooed the bird out of the window she turned to Hermione.

"Please tell me at least you don't have a problem with this!" Ginny squealed hopefully.

"Well, I am not against it. I am just a little shocked. But I believe you when you say he's changed. I am not going to stop you." Hermione said with a weak smile as she headed for the door.

"I am going to go slap some sense into your brother, enjoy you date tomorrow." And with that Ginny was once again left alone with her thoughts.

She sighed softly as she lay back onto her pillow. Reminiscing about the two glorious time she was kissed that evening.

Trying to ignore the obvious shouts of anger coming from Fred and George, who had just obviously heard about the next date.

Ginny closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but a pair of hurt green eyes haunted her dreams.
