Chapter Four: "The Dilemma"
PART TWO; SECTION TWO: Ginny
"Malfoy-- get away from her now!" Harry said trying to step between us.
"Harry," I said, "He just wanted to ask me something, that's all, it's nothing serious!"
"But you know his ways!"
"Yes, I do know Harry. But I can handle it myself," I was tired of being treated like a little kid, I am fifteen years old and a half if you wanted to be technical, "if he were to behave that way, but so far he's been nothing but a gentlemen."
"See Potter?" Draco sneered and then turned to me, "perhaps another time Virginia." With this he smiled at me took my hand and placed his lips upon it and turned and went up the main stairway.
"Come on, let's go wash your hand," Harry said, taking my other hand and attempting to pull me towards the bathroom, but I kept my feet in the same place.
"Harry, there's no need."
"Don't tell me you, you, ugh, Ginny, I can't even utter it!"
"Well, I'm not sure about that one. But it's about time for class, I need to go, Snape hates when you're late."
"Ginny," Harry said, and it sounded like it was painful. "I want you to know, that I'll --er-- um, be here if you need me."
"Thanks, Harry," I said wondering what was so painful about that.
"Uh, well, you'd best be off."
"Yeah," I said, "Bye Harry." And I started to walk towards the entrance to the dungeons when everyone else began to pour out of the Great Hall.
"Wait!" Harry said, running to catch up to me.
"Yes?" I said turning around to look at the Boy-Who-Lived.
"There's something else that I wanted you to know."
"And that would be?" I said watching my brother and Hermione stop and look around for Harry.
But suddenly Harry had me in his arms, "I think I'm falling for you," he said. But I wasn't sure what to think about it.
"Right, Harry, good one. I heard Ron tell Hermione you had your eye on a Hufflepuff."
"Well, can't someone's heart be in two places?"
"Well, then you should completely understand my dilemma,"
I said taking his arms off of me and proceeding down the corridor to the
dungeons.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Potions went on without event; I sat there making my potion, thinking about what Harry had said, and what in the world was going on between Draco and me. When I exited class, Draco was waiting for me.
"How did you get here so fast?" I asked him as he took my hand and lead me away from the crowd.
"You must have forgotten, Virginia, that fifth year Slytherins have off that last hour, I tried to work on my Charms Essay in the library, but knew that I had to come and talk to you, so I proceeded to come down here to meet you."
"Really?"
"Yes, now I know that I've been a total prat to you and your friends in the past, correction, I'm still a prat to them now. But Miss Virginia, there are some unresolved feelings between you and myself," Draco explained.
"Really? I didn't know about them."
"There is an explanation to that, it's because they're all on my side of the game, but I am hoping that you might be able to think about a few things."
"And these would be?"
"You know," Draco said with a twinkle in his eye, "my monologue would be much easier if you didn't keep interrupting me."
"You know you like it."
"I know I do, it shows your character. That's what I love about you, you don't care about following, you just care about you being yourself."
"Really?" I asked, shocked.
"What I'm saying, Virginia, is that I believe that I'm in love with you, and I believe that I have been for awhile. If you have kept track of who've I've all dated, Pansy's the only one that hasn't had red hair. I think I have a fetish for it, in all actuality. But none of them were ever as real as you are, and I know that that is important to me, so she can help me be my own person, and escape my father's shadow."
"Draco..." I whispered, looking into those gray eyes that seemed to have just laid everything out on the table, and it was my prerogative to either stamp on his heart or accept him. And my thoughts went to Harry, he had told me almost the same thing hours earlier, but not like this. "I think," I said stealing Harry's words, "I think, I might be falling for you."
Draco's eyes lit up, and I could tell that he had been entirely sincere throughout the whole thing. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Just one thing, stop calling me Virginia. I hate that name," I said laughing.
"Okay, Miss Weasley. Really, I never thought that I'd ever have any positive relationship with a Weasley, but then again, you're different. Very different, besides the fact that you're a girl."
"In respect to my family, there will be few guidelines; for example, leave them alone. Wait, I think that covers it."
"Anything for you, Virginia."
"Draco," I said warningly, sounding entirely too much like my mother.
"Virginia," he retorted right back.
"Draco!"
"Virginia!"
"DRACO!"
"VIRGINIA!" Draco yelled, laughing, and smiling more sincerely then ever before, "VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA! VIRGINIA!" And I couldn't help but laugh with him, and I noticed that his actual, pure comedy, laugh was much different than the laugh he laughed when picking on someone, I liked this one much better.
I stopped laughing when Harry walked into the room. Draco stopped when he noticed that I had and looked up to see Harry glaring daggers at him.
"Ginny, let's go!" Harry exclaimed.
"Harry --" I pleaded.
"What if Virginia doesn't feel like leaving?"
"Why in the world wouldn't she?"
"Harry, I'm right here, you could have asked me, the same goes for you Draco, you can let me respond for myself."
"I'm sorry Virginia," Draco said smiling at me.
"So this is who you were smiling at, at lunch? Have you gone mad? This is Draco Malfoy!"
"Yes, this is Draco Malfoy," I said putting a hand upon Draco's shoulder, and I felt sparks run up and down my arm.
"What was that?" Draco whispered to me.
"Dunno," I whispered back to him. "But Harry, this is a different Draco. Well, I mean, it's the same flesh and internal organs, but it's the personality that's different, Harry. And to top things off, he loves me."
"WHAT?" Harry exclaimed.
"It's true Potter—er—Harry," he said looking at my look of disapproval with the word Potter.
Harry stood there blinking at us. "How? How could this be?" he finally asked.
"Get used to it P-Harry." I smiled at Draco for correcting himself.
"And you believe him?" Harry spat out.
"Yes, he explained everything to me. And I can't help but return the same feelings."
"Ginny…" Draco whispered into my ear in two octaves lower than normal and with a sense of urgency, "come on lets go somewhere, now." And I had to admit; it was an exhilarating idea.
"Harry, you didn't. That's all there is to it. I'll see you around," I said taking Draco's hand we walked out of the dungeons and out onto the grounds.
"Virginia," he said again once we reached the outdoors, "you're amazing."
"Why thank—" But his mouth had cut me off. The heat that resonated between us was enough to keep anyone warm, and then snow began to fall from the sky, even though there hadn't been a cloud in the sky minutes earlier. But all of this no longer mattered to me, all that mattered was Draco, and being as close to him as possible. Wrapping his arms around my waist he seemed to be thinking along the same lines as I was. I put my arms around his neck, yearning to be closer still; I pulled myself as close to him as absolutely possible. And remembering what I had wanted to do earlier this afternoon I ran my fingers through his hair, faster and faster each time, by God, what were these feelings I was having? It felt as if lightning was continually running through me, electristy as the Muggles called it. Draco didn't seem to mind, the exact opposite in fact, he picked me up and leaned me against the wall of the school, and never breaking contact between mouths, of course.
Stopping for air, I finished my sentence, "you."
"Me what?" Draco gasped out.
"I was just finishing the sentence I had started earlier. My God, you look funny with your hair so un-you like."
"Un-you like?" He asked confused, but then placed a hand on his head, not only was there a combination of snow and gel, the hair was going every direction possible, "I see your point."
Looking at the sun set between the clouds, I noticed something strange in the direction of Hogsmeade, something a peculiar green color. "Draco, what's that, I pointed over his shoulder into the distance.
Draco turned to look at it and then looked back at
me with a look of terror, "Virginia, this is of the utmost
importance, you have to find Harry now!"
Reviewer's Corner:
Princess Calmea: So you love R/Hr as well. *gives you a R/Hr sticker* Oh yes, plot was in mind the whole time, but Ron and Hermione had to be together and so did Ginny and Draco. And poor Harry by his lonesome self. Well, at the moment anyway… that one is still up in the air. But the rest of the story is adventurey-humor. YAY!
SugarAngel86: Keep it going eh? I shall. And to think originally this was only going to be one chapter?! Oh well, if I had to choose one story of mine to keep, it'd be this one. YAY! *gives you a sticker that says "I have good taste in fanfictions"* (LMAO!)
Shaunna: YAY! I feel smart. Well, besides that I keep saying 'YAY!' *looks innocent* That has nothing to do with intelligence, just sanity! I think you're in the same boat as I am, I can see either, H/G or D/G... but because my other stories (another name... hahahaha, it's good that you can't find my old works, because they suck!) are all H/G if Ginny gets anyone. *gives you a sticker that reads "I don't know who Ginny belongs with, she's too compatible!"* So that's why this one ended up this way, for something new for me!
Phoenix72389: I hope the suspense didn't kill you so you can find out who that was, and what happened next. I also hope I updated fast enough for my second reviewer of this story...*gives you a sticker that says "Loyal Heaven Reviewer"* YAY!
Princess Kallie: I did continue it, and hopefully you love this chapter, and it's cliffe *grins evilly* just as much! *gives you a sticker that says "I love 'Heaven'" yay, you win too!
