Chapter 22 – Break up
As soon as she entered the common room, Ginny threw herself to one of the couches and started crying really hard.
"Gin, what's going on?" a voice whispered in her ear, a few minutes later.
"Angel, what are you doing here?" Ginny sobbed, trying to control her tears.
"I felt that you were upset, and I came to help you... What happened?" Angel explained, licking Ginny's hands, trying to calm her friend.
"Draco is back to his Malfoy days..." Ginny whispered, sobbing loudly, but trying hard not to cry. "I don't want to see him anytime soon..."
"But, what happened?" Angel asked, worried.
"First he gets mad at something innocent I've said, and then he leaves our room and only came back 20 minutes ago, then I asked what was going on, and all he does is take a shower. I've asked again what was going on and he yelled at me saying that he needed time away from me and my stupid whining, and then he smacked me on the face... How do you think I should react to this, uh?" Ginny explained nervously, the tears coming back to her eyes.
Her throat ached because of her sobs, her eyes burned because of the tears, her body and mind were tired from the night awake waiting for Draco to come back, her cheek hurt because of his slap, and her heart ached because Draco had broken it...
She was a mess... And right now, all she wanted to do was sleep for a thousand years. And so she did fall asleep, but not for a thousand years. She woke up later that day, in her old bed.
"Hello, I see you're awake!" Hermione said, caressing Ginny's face gently, as if she was a little baby. "How are you feeling now?"
"Awful..." Ginny replied.
"Angel told me what happened, and I had to put a Full Body Bind curse on him, to stop him from beating Malfoy to a pulp... Then I had to stop Harry from doing the same with a simple menace!" Hermione said, with an evil smile.
"What did you say to stop him?" Ginny asked with a small smile.
"I told him that if he came near Draco Malfoy, or did anything to him, he would have no sex until next summer... You should have seen his face become pale!" Hermione giggled, remembering her boyfriend's stricken face, when he heard her menace.
"Thank you, Hermione, but this time I wanted them to kick Draco's ass! That bloody git..." Ginny hissed, angrily. "I've dried all my tears this morning, and now there's only anger left..."
"Ginny, what are you going to do now?" Hermione asked, sadly.
"I'm going back to my single person's life... I've tried to talk with him, I've tried to solve the tension, but he refused to let me help him, and now, if he wants me back, he'll have to apologise and I'm not sure if that will be enough for me to forgive him..." Ginny said, getting out of her bed.
"Ginny, the both of you must stay together... Remember Dumbledore's words, your love is your strength!" Hermione warned her, watching Ginny put on her clothes again.
"I know Hermione, I know... Right now, I just want to eat something and ask to the house elves to bring my trunk back to this dormitory!" Ginny said, combing her hair. "Are you coming down to dinner?"
"Of course..."
As both girls walked down to the Great Hall, Hermione watched Ginny's sad face and realised how strong her friend was. If she was the one on her place, Hermione didn't know if she would react so well to everything...
Ginny and Hermione walked in the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table in front of Ron and Harry, and with their backs to the Slytherin table.
"Gin-Gin, how are you?" Ron asked, concerned with her.
"I'm fine, Ron, thank you for asking!" Ginny said, trying to hide the trembling from her voice.
"Ok... If you need me, I'm right by your side, ok, little sister?" he asked, holding her hand.
"Ok, Ron..." she smiled weakly.
"Me too, Ginny... You know you are like a sister to me, and all I want is to see you happy!" Harry said, leaning over the table to give her a quick hug.
"Thank you, to both of you... I love you two as well!" Ginny laughed half- heartedly, before she started to eat her dinner.
Trough the entire meal, she felt shivers' running through her body, as if someone was watching her... And in fact, someone was watching her.
Draco Malfoy sat on the Slytherin table, looking at Ginny's back, wishing he could go to the Gryffindor table and hug her and kiss her... How could he do that to her? He shouldn't have lost control.
Would she ever forgive him? Would she ever look him in the face?
He should have told her what was happening when she asked him, in their room, but he felt so angry with himself that he released all his anger on her, the only person who loved him and he loved back.
Draco had a lot of explaining to do, and he could only hope that Ginny would give him a chance to do it...
But, all his hopes went down the drain as soon as he got to his bedroom. Her trunk was nowhere in sight, her clothes and books were gone, and her wedding band was on top of his night table.
Holding the little jewel, Draco lay on his bed, with his face buried on Ginny's pillow, feeling her scent and then he cried... Cried like he hadn't cried in many years, until he finally fell asleep.
