Hour Glass
Chapter Eight
"I am if you let me."
"Why do you want to go up to my dormitory anyway? Why did you follow me all the way back to the castle? Is there something on my bum or are you just plain smitten with me?" Ginny said, advancing on Draco angrily.
"I don't know why I followed you back! I felt an urge to follow you, so I did! Does everything have to have a logical answer with you?!" Draco said walking towards Ginny, getting angrier by the second.
"Yes," Ginny practically yelled in his face.
"Fine... have it your way then! If you don't want to be friends with me, that's fine! You're too bloody stuck on yourself that you don't notice other people! I hope you die alone with no one there to love you! This was your one and only chance to be friends with me, Weasley, from this moment on, you're dead in my eyes!" Draco said with venom, as he walked out of the Gryffindor common room.
"I'm not stuck on myself. I'm not... I'm not," Ginny murmured to herself as she walked back up to her dormitory. Everyone was still asleep, and they didn't even notice that she had been gone most of the night. She lay in bed thinking about what the next day would bring when she drifted off into an uneasy slumber.
The next day came earlier than Ginny expected and caught her by surprise to wake up and see all of her roommates staring down at her. "What do you want?" she asked sleepily, moving further down into the covers on her bed.
"If you don't wake up now, you'll miss breakfast," said one of her roommates.
"What if I don't like breakfast?" Ginny said, yawning.
"But everyone likes breakfast!" piped up a small girl whose name Ginny couldn't recall.
"Well, that's just silly! Have you met everyone?" Ginny said, sitting up.
"Well... no," the smaller girl said.
"Then how do you know everyone likes breakfast?" Ginny said, getting out of bed to go take a bath and get ready for the day.
Contrary to what her roommates now believed, Ginny did like breakfast; it was just the waking up part that she didn't like. After she finished her bath she got dressed and put on her school robes, put black eyeliner on, fixed her hair, and put on her shoes. When she was finally finished she went down to the Great Hall.
When she walked in, most of the population of Hogwarts was staring at her. " I know I can't be that damned interesting!" she said as she sat down at her usual spot at the Gryffindor table. A few minutes later Colin took the seat beside her and began mounting his plate with whatever food he could reach. Ginny didn't find this strange since he was like this most mornings, but there was something about his appearance that made him look different. She didn't realize that she was staring at him until he asked if there was anything on his face.
"No, there's nothing on the impecable face of yours. Did you do something different today? You look different," Ginny said, taking a bite out of her toast.
"No, do I look different?"
"Oddly enough, you do."
"Ok," Colin said, turning back to his food.
"Yeah... ok," Ginny said, once again getting lost in her own thoughts.
Breakfast ended uneventfully, and the sixth year Gryffindors made their way down to the dungeons for double potions with the devil himself, Severus Snape.
