Chapter 13 – Ron's Howler
The following week, Ginny acted as if she didn't know Ron, making him apologize each time he saw her walk by.
Yes, it was hard to be mad at her own brother, but he asked for it. Her mother's revenge was the best of all. Ignore them, and they'll come running back to you with their tail between their legs.
The curse effects were making her feel extremely tired and without appetite, but Ginny kept behaving as if she was perfectly fine.
Everyday, after dinner, she would meet with Draco in a hidden corner of the Library, to do her homework and spend time with him. He always walked with her to the Gryffindor Tower corridor, were they had a little snogging session before he left to the Dungeons.
It's funny how after so much time of fighting and hating each other, they were now completely in love, and having a really good time together. Who could ever imagine that Draco Malfoy was one of the sweetest guys on Earth?
"Gin, wake up!" a gentle voice whispered in her ear.
"Five more minutes, Mom!" Ginny replied, pulling the covers tighter against her body.
"No, Ginny! And I'm not your Mother! Come on, get up, already! Today is the Halloween Ball!" Angel insisted, jumping on Ginny's stomach.
"Who cares, Angel? He didn't invite me!" Ginny opened her eyes slowly, to adjust to the light in her dorm. "Why didn't he invite me? Is he going with someone else? Did he tell you who? Is it Pansy Parkinson?"
"Oh, shut your mouth! You're so blind... Of course he isn't going with Parkinson! He loves you, not her..." Angel said. "He probably didn't invite you because he thought it wasn't necessary! I mean, you two are dating, so it's obvious you'll be going together!"
"But, we have been hiding our relationship... Do you think he's ready to appear in public with me?" Ginny asked, sitting on her bed, and rubbing her eyes.
"I'm sure he is... Now, come on and get up! We are going to Hogsmead!" Angel jumped to the floor and ran to the window. "It's snowing, today!"
An hour later, Ginny and Angel walked in the Great Hall, stopping for a few minutes to look at the ceiling, where the white clouds dropped little snowflakes.
Smiling to herself, Ginny walked along the Gryffindor table, looking for a place to seat. Unfortunately, on Saturdays, the Gryffindor table was always full, and the only free seat was next to Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Hey, Ginny, over here!" Hermione called, with a big smile.
"Angel, I think I'm going to skip breakfast! I'm not in the mood to talk with Ron, right now!" Ginny whispered in the Pulga's ear.
"Wait a few moments... Don't sit until I come back!" Angel said, jumping to the floor and running to the Slytherin table. She climbed to Draco's lap and talked with him, returning a few moments later.
"Draco said he wants you to have breakfast with him, today!" Angel said, with a happy voice.
Smiling at her friend's attitude, Ginny walked past the Fabulous Trio and to the Slytherin table.
"Good morning, Draco... May I sit?" Ginny whispered in his ear, with a big smile on her face.
"Please, do... You look beautiful this morning!" he smiled, as she sat next to him.
"Liar! You always say that when you've done something bad! What have you done?" she laughed, kissing his cheek.
"I'll tell you later... Now, I want to see you eat! You haven't been eating properly for the last week!" he said, filling her plate with toast and chocolate muffins.
Everyone in the Great Hall was looking at the unexpected couple, waiting for another kiss like the one a week ago.
Soon, all the attention on the couple was dropped with the arrival of the owls. Hundreds of little birds' flied in the Great Hall, dropping letter and packages on the student's hands, and plates.
A huge package was dropped on Ginny's plate, throwing her food at the person in front of her seat... Pansy Parkinson.
"Oops, sorry about that!" Ginny tried hard not to laugh.
"You'll be sorry, you little Gryffindor whore!" Pansy screamed, running away from the Great Hall, to clean her robes and hair.
"When will they stop calling me a whore?" she sighed, looking at her package.
"Don't listen to what they say!" Draco said, hugging her lovingly. "Look, your brother received a Howler! This is going to be so much fun!"
On the Gryffindor table, Ron was nervously looking at the red envelope on his hands. A Howler!!! He was so dead...
Placing the envelope on the table, he waited for it to open.
"RONALD WEASLEY, HOW COULD YOU HIT YOUR OWN SISTER? THAT'S NOT THE EDDUCATION YOUR FATHER AND I GAVE YOU!
IF YOU EVER TOUCH HER LIKE THAT AGAIN, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY, YOU HEAR ME? SHE LOVES THAT BOY AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP THAT!" on that moment the envelope flew to the Slytherin table, stopping just in front of Ginny and Malfoy. "Hello Ginny dear... I hope you are ok, even with all those side effects. Don't worry, we accept your heart's choice, and we will always support you... Draco Malfoy, I hope you take good care of my little Virginia! We both know how important it is for both of you to remain together..." right then, the envelope flew back to Ron. "DON'T YOU DARE PUT THEM APART, OR YOU'LL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES! GOODBYE DEARS..."
With that said, the envelope exploded in a million pieces, and all the student body started to comment on what they had just heard. Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy, together? That was great gossip....
"Well, that went well..." Ron said, sarcastically. "Why is she protecting them? I don't understand..."
"Soon you will, Ron... Soon, you will." Hermione sighed, looking at the couple on the Slytherin table.
"Hermione, what do you know that you're not telling us?" Harry asked, suspicious.
"Nothing I can tell you about! I've promised secrecy..." Hermione said, stuffing a toast on her mouth, to avoid talking.
"Well, my Mom seemed to be in a good mood..." Ginny laughed, looking at her brother's red face. "She sent me a letter as well... Probably it explains what's happening to me! Do you want to read it with me?"
"Of course... Let's walk to Hogsmead together!" Draco said, taking her hand, and walking out of the school.
"Hey, I'll just stay inside with Severus! Have fun..." the Pulga said, before running towards the Dungeons.
"I really don't understand how she likes him so much!" Ginny laughed, and Draco used a reductor spell on the package she had received and placed it on her pocket. Unfortunately, she couldn't use her wand for the whole month.
Dearest Virginia, I'm so sorry I've kept you in the dark about this curse... I didn't want you to think about that all the time, and this summer I didn't have the courage to reveal everything to you...
I'm happy you're over Harry! Yes, he's a great boy, but he's already taken by Hermione! And, Draco Malfoy isn't his father! So, if you love him, it's because he's worth our trust...
When I was pregnant with you, I was told that I was going to miscarriage. I've tried every single potion, every single Healer, and nothing worked. So, I went to the Fairies... I'll skip the part you already know, from Dumbledore.
Well, after all these side effects are over, the curse will be working at its full, and you'll become the Fairies Queen. The Fairies are being destroyed and forgotten by the Ministry, and they needed a Human to protect them. They chose you, Ginny, and now, you'll be their voice in our world.
You'll have magnificent powers; you will be their voice... When the curse is complete, you will understand what's expected from you, don't worry!
Oh, and Draco will have a part in all of this, of course! He will be your true love, your soul mate, and he will have the job of protecting the fairies, as well! Yes, he will have the same powers you will, but his powers won't be so strong as yours...
That's all I can say, for now... Be strong, and everything will be fine!
Don't worry about your brother, he won't do anything stupid, or so I hope...
Love, Mother
"Well, that explains a lot..." Ginny sighed, against Draco's chest, while they looked at the lake.
"Yes, it does... I've received a letter from my Father, as well! I think he finally found out about our affectionate display." Draco smiled, as he opened the letter. It only read three words.
"Explain yourself boy!!!"
"Isn't he sweet?" Draco laughed along with Ginny, as they made their way to Hogsmead.
The following week, Ginny acted as if she didn't know Ron, making him apologize each time he saw her walk by.
Yes, it was hard to be mad at her own brother, but he asked for it. Her mother's revenge was the best of all. Ignore them, and they'll come running back to you with their tail between their legs.
