ON WITH THE STORY! (Your ears must hurt now huh?)
***
PREVIOUSLY: "I did." Ginny said.
------------------------
Draco stared at her with mixed emotions. "Stop kidding me."
"I'm not." Ginny insisted. "Why would I do that?" Yes, why *would* she joke about this? Draco thought. He felt overjoyed . . .he NEVER had a best friend and it felt . . .well, nice.
He looked at her right in the eye and gave her a charming but genuine smile. "I guess. . .I guess you're my best friend too." He said. It felt good to have a best friend, he had to admit.
Ginny giggled. "So, pal o' mine, what do we do?" Draco shrugged. "No idea. Hey, do you know why Zack and Laurielle are doing this to us?"
Ginny looked hopelessly at him and shrugged. "I have NO clue. I think they're going to keep us here if we don't figure it out."
"But what is IT?" Draco asked, starting to get annoyed. Ginny sighed. "I think they want us to be---"
CRASH!
Draco and Ginny jumped up. "What the heck was that?!" Draco demanded. Ginny gasped. "LOOK!" The cell was slowly disappearing. "What---I don't understand!" Ginny said, shaking her head.
Draco grabbed her wrist. "Come on, let's get out of here!" He pulled her out of the cell and dragged her all the way to the corridors.
"FINALLY!" Draco said, stretching. "I can do things I WANT to do!" Ginny nodded in agreement. "No more eating chicken flavored plastic! I can have a feast!" Ginny said dreamily.
"I am SO going to kill Zack and Laurielle!" Draco snarled.
"And have a long hot bath. . . " Ginny continued as they walked down the corridor.
"I'll rip them into pieces! No, first I'll suffocate them THEN I'll rip them into. . . "
"And use herbal soap on my skin to keep it young and . . ."
". . .And lock THEM up in the darn cell!"
". . .And then have a nice long nap in my own bed!"
Draco and Ginny started up the moving staircases, still talking to themselves when out of the corner of Draco's eye, he saw Zack and Laurielle. He grinned. "Ah, wait here a moment, Gin. I've got some, uh- business to take care of."
"If it's about Zack and Laurielle, I'm with you." Both grinned maliciously and went to find the kids.
***
"You think they got it figured out yet?" Zack asked. Laurielle shrugged. "I don't know. Did you see how Draco looked at her when I said she looked cute? He gave her googly eyes."
"NOT THE GOOGLY EYES!" Zack groaned, slapping his forehead. Zack and Laurielle sat down. (AN: by the way, they are in an empty corridor.)
=MEANWHILE=
Ginny and Draco stealthily made their way behind an empty trophy case behind Zack and Laurielle. They were about to grab them when they heard something interesting.
"I wish they could just fall in love already!" Zack groaned. Laurielle nodded. "Geez, they take so darn long! They are positively GAGA over each other! Stupid Ginny and Draco just don't want to admit it!" she added, aggravated.
Behind the trophy case, Ginny gasped. Draco turned to look at her. "so THAT'S what they were trying to pull!" Draco whispered. Ginny looked utterly amazed. "They wanted to set us up!"
"But why?" Draco wanted to know. Ginny put a finger up to her lips. "Shh."
***
"I mean, they are SOOOOO perfect for each other!! Why can't they see that?" Laurielle went on, her voice on the edge. "They just have to be STUPID not to see it!"
"They will, Elle, sooner or later. Draco may not be the brightest one in the family, but he'll catch on. He always does anyway."
"But Zack, they are SO thick!"
"I know, Lor. Maybe---maybe we should stop." Ginny and Draco heard Laurielle sigh. "No! We promised ourselves . . ." Laurielle trailed off.
"You're right, Zack. We shouldn't force them to. I just hope---I'm waiting for a miracle." (AN: OOOOOH!)
***
Ginny stumbled out from behind the trophy case. Zack and Laurielle shot up. "HOW LONG WERE YOU THERE?" Laurielle screeched.
Draco and Ginny were speechless. They just gaped at them. "Mum never taught us to eavesdrop, Draco." Zack said, shaking his head.
Draco and Ginny were dumbfounded. Why the heck were Laurielle and Zack doing this? Why did they want them to get together so much?
"Look, guys---" Ginny started.
"Save it." Laurielle snapped as she walked away. Zack gave them one more pitiful look and followed Laurielle.
***
Draco was the first to snap out of it. "Uh, Ginny? Um . . .I-I better go back. It's uh, late." He said, rubbing his arm.
"Yeah, me too. Um, well, I'll-I'll see you?" Ginny said in a hushed tone, not daring to look up at him. Draco nodded stiffly and walked away.
***
Ginny and Draco would casually say hello to each other but nothing more. They would pretend not to see each other when they passed the hallways.
It was like this for some time, ever since they found out about Zack and Laurielle's little scheme.
Sadly, neither Zack nor Laurielle talked to Ginny and Draco at all. This made Ginny wonder . . .
***
"Zack!"
Draco came bursting into Zack's dormitory, a puzzled look on his face. Zack stared coldly at him. "What?"
"Why?" Draco asked, seating himself down on Zack's bed. "What do you mean why? You know very well WHY." Zack replied flatly.
Draco looked at his brother helplessly. "I mean, what made you and Laurielle do this? Why'd you lock us in the cell? WHY?"
Zack slowly faced Draco, looking tired and exhausted. "Look, Draco. You know WHY. You've always known. You're just too stupid and arrogant to realize it." Zack said in a hushed tone, still his voice was tired.
"I don't understand you! Something has to be holding me back! I don't understand!" Draco yelled, frustrated.
"YOU! You're holding YOURSELF back! That's why you can't understand me! IT'S YOU." Zack shot back.
"WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Draco demanded. He was trying so hard to understand, yet he couldn't.
"DARN IT, DRACO!!!!" Zack yelled, knocking a book down from the table. "YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HER! YOU'VE KNOWN IT EVER SINCE! IT'S JUST YOU! YOU DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A BLOODY GRYFFINDOR! JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A BLOODY WEASELY!"
Draco stared at Zack in disbelief. "I don't---"
"I used to look up to you," Zack said quietly. "You always told me not to look down on people. You told me everyone was equal. Now I know what you are. You're a hypocrite." Zack gave Draco another icy glare and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
***
Draco gave an aggravated sigh. [Is Zack right? DO I love her? DO I? But. . .but how come he says I've always loved her? Have I?] Draco shook his head. "I need a walk."
***
"Hi Gin!" Ginny spun around and came face to face with Harry. She smiled. "Hi."
"Uh, hey Gin? I was wondering, you know, if you'd like to go out some time?" Harry fidgeted with his hands while waiting for her to answer.
Ginny was dumbfounded. Harry had asked her out? HARRY POTTER? She should be happy, so why wasn't she?
She studied him as he fingered his glasses. He was tall, probably 6'2 but he wasn't as tall as Draco who was 6'8.
He looked so innocent and naïve, not like Draco who was dangerous and mysterious. But. . .that's what she wanted, right? Harry? No.
"Gin?" Harry prompted. "Huh? Oh! Uh," Ginny didn't know what to say.
***
Draco walked around aimlessly, not caring where he would go. He needed time to think. Did he love Ginny? Well . . . he DID love her smile, her luxurious red locks, her huge, brown eyes, her cheery outlook, he loved. . .he loved her.
"Draco you are so STUPID!" he cursed himself. But, now that he knew how he loved Ginny, what would he do about it? "Find her." He said, with a smirk on his face.
***
"You see, Harry, I-"
"GINNY! GINNY WEASELY!" Harry and Ginny spun around. "Draco?!" Ginny gasped. He was running up to them with intense speed. Too bad he didn't see that rock.
"ARGH!"
"DRACO!" Ginny ran up to him. Harry was stifling a laugh. Draco lay on the ground, not daring to get up.
"Are you alright?" Ginny asked. Draco sighed in embarrassment. "Uh, could we. . . could we try this again?" he asked. Ginny looked puzzled.
Draco got up and dusted off his robes. "Go back to Potter." Ginny obediently went back to Harry and waited, confused.
"Okay." Draco cleared his throat and started to run again. "GINNY! GINNY WEASELY!"
This time, Harry was howling with laughter. Draco scowled but continued to run anyway.
Ginny giggled. Draco reached them and pulled Ginny into a passionate kiss. Harry instantly stopped laughing and pulled them apart.
"MALFOY, ARE YOU INSANE?" he yelled. Draco ignored him. "Ginny, I love you." He said breathlessly, his eyes boring into hers.
Ginny gasped. "You do?"
"Knock it off, Malfoy!" Harry snapped. "She doesn't---"
BAM!
Harry fell to the ground as Draco rubbed his hand. Ginny stared up at him in disbelief. "What? I had to shut him up somehow," Draco said, shrugging.
"But you didn't have to-"
Ginny didn't have a chance to finish because Draco had pulled her into another kiss. This kiss was so drugging that Ginny didn't dare pull away. It was sweet, yet fiery.
Harry sat up, rubbing his head. "Oww. . . what the-OH MY FREAKIN GOSH!" he yelled, seeing Draco and Ginny in an intense kiss.
Harry shot up and tried to pry them apart when a fist came knocking him down right on the jaw.
Draco gaped at Ginny. She smiled sheepishly. "Uh, he was getting annoying." She said.
****
News spread like wildfire.
"Draco and Ginny are DATING?"
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!"
"Who would have thought!"
"A Gryffindor and a slytherin at that!"
"It's not humanly possible!"
"I'm the one supposed to date Draco!"
"I wonder what Ron will say?"
"Ooh! Do you think there will be a fight?"
"Ginny is SO lucky!"
Draco and Ginny tried to dodge the stares and whispers that people were giving them.
Once they were outside the castle, Ginny took out a small box. Draco eyed it curiously. "Whazzat?" he asked.
"This," Ginny said, carefully removing the contents of the box. "Is a mood ring."
Draco wrinkled his nose. "What's a mood ring?"
"It's a muggle invention. It changes color when your feelings change. I'll show you."
Ginny slipped the ring on Draco's finger. It instantly turned blue. Draco tried to hide the amazed look on his face but failed. He had never seen anything like this before.
"You're feeling happy," Ginny said, smiling up at him. (AN: Let's just say blue is for happy. =) Hehe!)
Draco stared at the ring. Ginny pulled him down and brushed her lips against his.
Ginny let a soft moan escape her lips as she let Draco deepen the kiss. It was fiery and passionate. She loved the way he caressed her ever so tenderly. . .he was so gentle with her.
"GINNNNNYYYYY!"
Ginny jumped and whirled around. She gasped! Ron Weasely was seething.
"Um, I was just telling Malfoy that he needed a breath mint," Ginny said meekly, slightly blushing. Oh, if only Ron was stupid enough to believe that.
