Chapter 12 – Demanding Answers
The afternoon went by very very slowly, and Ginny wished she could be alone with Draco, sitting on that rock, close to the lake, feeling his arms protecting her from the world...
Every single student pointed at her and commented about her kiss with Draco, making her feel like a caged animal. Everyone stares and talks about you, but no one dares to approach you and know the real you...
As soon as she left her last class of the day, Ginny ran to the Gryffindor tower, with Angel in her arms.
"Gin, are you upset?" Angel whispered, sounding worried.
"A little, sweetie... All this situation is so hard!" Ginny sighed, trying to smile. "Look, I'm not hungry... Can you find Draco and tell him to meet me in the Astronomy Tower at 10 p.m.?"
"But, that's after the curfew! Are you sure, Gin?" the Pulga asked, worried.
"Probably you're right... I don't want me or Draco to get detention! Angel, tell him to meet me in the Library after dinner, and tell him to bring his books to do his homework. Do you agree?" Ginny reconsidered.
"That's much better, Gin! Are you sure you don't want to eat?" Angel asked, placing a soft paw on Ginny's cheek.
"Yes, I'm sure... Go ahead, and tell Draco to feed you, ok? I'll see you later..." Ginny smiled, as she placed the Pulga on the floor, and watched her run down the corridor, towards the moving staircases, to find Draco.
As soon as Ginny entered the Gryffindor Common Room, she saw Harry trying to stop a furious Ron from running to her.
'Ooops... He heard about the kiss! I should have went down for dinner!" she thought worriedly.
"YOU! How could you do something like that? I've spent a whole afternoon being laughed at, without knowing why... People telling me you were a scarlet woman, and I've started fighting them! I've lost points for fighting because of your honour!!! At last, someone dared to explain to me that you've spent today's lunch hour snogging Draco Malfoy in front of the entire school, in the middle of the Great Hall!" Ron yelled, ignoring the gathering crowd, watching their fight. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Don't talk about things you don't understand, Ron... When I feel ready to reveal what's happening, you'll be the first to know!" Ginny said, gently, although she looked extremely pale and on the verge of fainting.
"I'm your brother, Virginia Weasley, and I want an explanation right now!" he yelled again, even more furious with her lack of response.
"I will not give you an explanation when you are about to explode!" she screamed back, getting sick of so much yelling. "That explanation involves me and Draco, and if you even think of hurting him, you'll regret the day you were born, Ronald Weasley!"
"They were all right! You are acting like a scarlet woman!" he screamed, freeing himself from Harry's arms, and coming to stand in front of her. "You are a disgrace to our family Ginny... Getting involved with a Malfoy is the worst thing you could ever do to your family!"
Having said this, Ron slapped her face, making everyone in the Common Room gasp in shock, including Ginny.
She just looked at his face, and before the tears started to spill on her face, Ginny ran to her dorm, picked up her Potion books and ran out of the Gryffindor Tower, ignoring Hermione's calls.
Ginny ran and ran until she reached the Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She hated this place, due to her first year's events, but this was the only place were she could cry alone...
After crying her eyes out, with Myrtle crying by her side, as well, Ginny felt ready to go to the Library.
A few hours later, Draco entered the Library and leaned against a bookcase, watching Ginny scribbling furiously on a piece of parchment. She was so beautiful, so innocent, and so perfect in every single way... He really loved that girl!
'When my father finds out about this little situation, we're going to be in deep troubles...' Draco thought, smiling to himself.
Slowly, he sat by her side, and placed a kiss on her cheek, surprising several people on the Library.
"Hello, Virginia!" he whispered in her ear. Only then did he notice the lack of colour in her face, her trembling hands, and the mark of five big fingers on her right cheek. "What happened? Who did this to you?"
"I'm ok, Draco, don't worry!" she sighed, finishing her Potions Essay, throwing sand over the parchment, and rolling it up.
"Of course I'm worried, Virginia! Who did this to you? And why?" he insisted, holding her shacking hand in his own, looking extremely worried.
"I've had a little spat with Ron, that's all..." she mumbled, kissing his hand tenderly.
"A little spat doesn't leave your face marked with 5 fingers! Why did he hit you?" he asked furiously.
"He found out about a certain kiss, called me a whore, said I was a disgrace to my family, and slapped me!" she explained, enjoying the feel of his cold hand against her burning cheek. Ron had a really strong hand, and tonight she felt it against her skin. "This was the first time I was ever hit by someone in my family!"
Unable to hold back her tears, Ginny started crying in Draco's arms, while he held her gently, whispering sweet words in her ear.
"If it depends on me, that was the first and only time you will ever be hit, love! I'm going to hex that brother of yours to oblivion!" he said, as soon as she calmed down a bit. "He had no right to do that to you..."
"Draco, please, promise me you won't hurt Ron... I'm going to make him regret every single word he said, on the Weasley way!" she smiled softly, happy to see that Draco really cared about her. "Believe me, it's more effective than hexing!"
"Ok, I'll support you on your little revenge, but if things get out of hand, I'll be there to do things my way, ok?" he asked, smiling a little.
"Ok, Draco! Thank you for being here... I love you!" she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too, Weasel... Now, let's do our homework!" he sighed, kissing her lips softly.
While Draco did his homework, Ginny wrote a letter to her mother.
Dear Mother,
I'm so mad at you right now... How could you hide all this things from me? I had the right to know what was going to happen to me!
Since the beginning of the year, I've been having different feelings towards Draco Malfoy, and on the Quidditch Game of Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, I gave a proof of my love for him, or so Dumbledore says.
Well, the curse you've hidden from me all my life is starting to work, and I'm linked with Draco for the rest of my life!
It's not that bad, because I love him and he loves me back, but, really, how could you hide all this from me?! Now, I'm going to have an awful month, feeling sick and sexually active, but I don't know what the hell is going to happen when this entire curse thing starts to really work!
Please, if you have anything else to tell me, I would appreciate if you told me all there is to know!
Well, I'm doing fine at school, Angel can speak, I'm in love with Malfoy, he loves me back, we are together, and Ron just slapped me leaving finger marks all over my face... It hurts like hell!
All of this because of a damn curse that I don't even know what it's going to do!
Send a kiss to Daddy, the twins, Percy, Charlie, Bill and of course, a kiss for you as well!
With love, from your worried, confused and hurt little daughter,
Virginia Weasley
"Nice letter!" Draco chuckled, supporting his head on her shoulder.
"PS: Draco send his compliments to everyone!" Ginny added in her letter, watching Draco's shocked face.
"You are a naughty girl, Virginia Weasley..." he laughed, hugging her against him. "But I love you the way you are!"
Ginny laughed as well, and kissed him passionately until the librarian caught them kissing, and told them to leave the library.
Draco took her to the Gryffindor Tower, kissed her good night and went to the Dungeons, with a smile on his face.
"Harry, is Hedwig in your room?" Ginny asked, when she entered the Common Room.
"Yes, she is... Do you need her?" he asked, concerned with Ginny.
"Yes, if you don't mind, of course!" she said with a sweet smile.
"It's ok... Come with me!"
Ginny followed Harry to the boy's dorms and tied the parchment to Hedwig's leg, watching her leave through the window.
"Ginny, can we talk?" Ron asked, behind her.
"Harry, thank you for letting me use Hedwig! Good night, I'll see you tomorrow!" Ginny said, kissing Harry's cheek and leaving the dorm.
"Please, Ginny let me apologize!" Ron pleaded, going after her, but Ginny didn't reply. She just kept walking and went up to her dorms, for a good night of sleep.
