The Room of Requirement- chapter three

"Come on you guys, I know she'll be in there!" Colin said practically running down the corridors.

Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Luna were following closely behind Colin.

"How do you know that she'll be in there?" Ron asked skeptically as they rounded the final corner.

"Because that's where she goes when she's upset," Luna said calmly.

They were almost at the door of the room of requirement when Ron said, "If you knew that she was in here why didn't you get her yesterday?"

"We thought that she was with you guys in Hogsmeade." Colin answered.

"We thought that she was with you two." Hermione said pointing to Colin and Luna.

"What if she's not in there?" Ron asked looking slightly frightened.

"There's only one way to find out." Harry said opening the door. All five of them walked in the door and gave a collective gasp.

They saw Ginny was in bed with Draco Malfoy!

At that precise moment in time Draco woke up. Ron saw Draco's eyes open and then all hell broke loose.

"What the hell is going on?"

Draco looked at him groggily for a moment and said, "No need to shout, I'm only sleeping with your baby sister." He smirked.

Ginny's eyes fluttered open and she said, "Draco why are you shouting?"

"I'm not shouting, it's your bloody brother who's making a fool out of himself."

"You know I already told you that if you want me to not kill you you're going to have to stop insulting my family." She rolled over and her eyes landed on the five stunned people all standing at the door.

"Colin, Luna! I knew you'd find me!" She jumped up and hugged them both.

Draco rolled his eyes and Ron's face was as red as a giant tomato. "No one has explained to me why my sister was in bed with DRACO MALFOY!" Ron shouted.

"Ron, calm down! Go sit on the red and gold side of the bed and try to get onto the green and silver side."

"Why would I do that?"

"Just do what I say, Ron, please."

"Fine, fine." Ron sat on the bed and tried to touch the green side of the bed.

"Why can't I touch it?" Ron asked confused.

"I don't know, the room wouldn't give us two separate beds so it gave us a giant bed divided in half. So," she looked at Ron, "it's like two separate beds so I wasn't even really in the same bed as him."

"Why were you two here in the first place?" Hermione asked.

"I came in here to cool off after the incident in the great hall," she gave Ron the evil eye and he smiled sheepishly back. "then Malfoy came in and demanded that I leave. I got up and went to the door but it wouldn't open. So we had to wait for someone to open the door from the outside."

"It must have been awful spending an entire day with only a Malfoy for company," Colin said sympathetically.

"Hello! I'm right here," Draco said with a roll of his eyes.

"Yes but I choose to ignore that fact." Colin answered.

"Well as much as I enjoy this little reunion," Draco said getting up from the bed, "I really must be going so if you would all be so kind as to leave so that I can change I would be much obliged. Anyway, I need to wash the Weasley stink off of me."

Everyone glared at him and no one moved. "Guys, maybe we should just go." Ginny said. They all nodded. "I'll catch up with you guys in a few minutes, I have to change." She looked down at the pajamas that she was wearing.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" Colin asked.

"No, I handled Malfoy for a day and a half I think I can handle him for a few minutes more."

"Alright, if you're sure."

They all left and Ginny and Draco were left alone again.

"Couldn't get enough of me could you?" Draco asked.

"Oh please, I just need to change and shower."

"Why don't you do that in the Gryffindor tower?" he said the last two words with contempt.

"I don't have to explain myself to you," she said using his own line against him. In truth she really just wanted a long shower without four other girls bugging her about having to do their make-up or some such nonsense as that.

"Fine, but I shower first."

"Whatever Malfoy."

"I thought we agreed on first names last night."

Ginny looked at him for a moment utterly confused and then she remembered…the dance.

"Don't take too long in the shower," she said not looking him in the eyes.

He entered the bathroom and Ginny sat down on the bed. She fiddled with her hair, thinking about what had happened in the last 48 hours. She had danced with Malfoy, danced. If only Ron knew, he'd have a seizure. Ginny giggled at the thought. She slowly got up and wandered over to the small window. She looked out at the leafy red and orange world below her. The ground was littered with leaves, but that's just how Ginny liked it. It gave the world a look of festivity, of happiness that was lost on other seasons. Ginny heard the click of a door and said, "I know I told you to be fast, but I didn't mean for you not to wash properly." She snickered a little and then turned around to face Draco. Except it wasn't Draco, it was Harry, he had come not from the bathroom but from the front door.

Ginny abruptly stopped smiling. Harry looked at Ginny and then looked to the bathroom door with distaste. "I just forgot my scarf," he told her, his eyes looking concernedly at her. She noticed the look he gave her.

"Is something the matter Harry?" Ginny asked in all innocence.

"I just want you to be careful Gin."

"Of what?" she asked, putting on the innocent act still stronger.

"You know of what. I don't want him to do anything to you." He paused. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I just wanted to take a shower, but Malfoy beat me to it."

"So you're not spending anymore time with him?"

"No."

Harry looked relieved. "I should be getting back to Ron and Hermione. See you later Gin." He turned around and left.

Ginny resumed her sentry at the window, until she heard the door click. She turned around to make sure it was Draco before speaking. "Cinnamon again?"

"You noticed, how flattering," he said dryly. "Shower's all yours."

"Thanks."

"Ginny, you can't still be mad about that,"

"Yes I can! You almost made me kiss Harry! How much worse can you get?"

"Gin, I already said that I was sorry, what else do you want?"

"I want you to promise that you will never try to set me up again."

"Fine, I promise, will you forgive me now?"

"I suppose."

"Thanks," Ron gave Ginny a big hug and said, "I have to go catch up with Harry and Hermione, they're in the library. See ya later Gin!" he said as he walked out the door.

Ginny spent the rest of the day telling Colin and Luna what had happened in the room of requirement. She decided to leave out the dance, somehow she didn't feel like sharing that with them.

"Do you want to do our potions paper together?" Colin asked Ginny Sunday night in the library. "It's due tomorrow."

"I already did it. But I'll help you if you want." Ginny offered.

"Yeah, that would be great, when did you finish it?"

"I did it while I was trapped in the room of requirement."

"Oh," Colin said as he read her essay.

"This is really good Gin, potions is your worst subject how'd you manage this without the books in the library?"

"Umm, Malfoy helped me." Ginny said nonchalantly not meeting Colin's eye.

"What?" Colin practically shouted. He got a death glare from Madame Pince.

"Don't shout! It's not a big deal, I was just having some trouble and he helped me, okay? End of story," she whispered.

"What are you talking about? Not a big deal my ass! You got help from a Malfoy, that is a big deal, that is a very big deal!"

"Just shut up about it already, do you want my help or not?"

"Fine, but we're going back to it later."

"We are not."

"Just tell me the properties of the mandrake root."

"I just need somewhere to be alone," Ginny thought exasperated as she tried to finish her homework in the common room. Everyone was just bugging her today.

"They're off their heads, all of them!" she thought as she gathered her books and headed out of the common room.

"Where are you going Gin?" Colin asked.

"Just somewhere quieter."

"Alright, see you later."

She left the common room and she ended up at the room of requirement door without even remembering walking there.

She entered and sat down, determined to finish her homework. She was halfway through her History of Magic essay when the door creaked open. She looked up startled and saw to her surprise, Malfoy.

"I thought that I finished with you this morning," he said calmly. "Why don't you get out of your chair and leave me be."

"Malfoy, I will not leave I was here first."

"But I am here now and I am telling you to get out."

"No"

"You dare disobey a Malfoy's orders?" he asked with a sneer.

Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "yes I dare."

"Fine then, we'll share the room," he said with disgust.

"What you spend two days with me and now you can't stand the sight of me?"

"I couldn't stand the sight of you before so really nothing has changed and technically it was a day and a half."

"Do you always have to be right?"

"Yes, because I always am."

Ginny rolled her eyes again and went back to her essay.

A few minutes later she looked up at Draco to find him doing homework as well. He groaned in disgust.

Ginny silently walked over to see what he was working on.

"That's not right, Helga Hufflepuff did not have a husband named Donald, she was single her whole life."

Draco looked up startled. "Don't look at what I'm doing."

"Fine," Ginny sat back down in her chair.

A few minutes later Draco looked up and said, "How'd you know that?"

"History of Magic is my favorite subject."

"How is that possible, it's the dullest subject on the entire planet!"

"I admit that Proffessor Binns is a bore but that doesn't mean that the subject is."

"Yes it does!"

"Well it's still my favorite subject even if you don't appreciate it."

They both went back to working. In about a half an hour Draco gave a happy sigh.

Ginny looked up and figured he must be done. "Give me your paper."

"Excuse me?"

"To proof it, you helped me with potions I should repay the favor."

"No"

"It's just because I'm a Weasley isn't it?"

"Precisely"

"Don't judge me just give me your paper."

He raised his eyebrows but gave her his paper. It only took her a minute to read, she made a lot of corrections with her wand and then gave the paper back to Draco.

He read it over and looked at her and said, "You're one to talk."

"What?"

"About judging people."

"What are you talking about?"

"You never liked me just because I'm a Malfoy."

"No I never liked you because you were a prat to my brother and his friends."
"But if I had never done anything to them but I was still in Slytherin and still a Malfoy you still wouldn't have liked me."

"That's beside the point since you have done things to them."

"Thank you, for the essay I mean," Draco said changing the subject.

"Yeah, well you helped me first." she paused, "I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea."

"What is it?" Draco asked intrigued.

"We could both tutor each other! I have a lot of problems in potions so you could help me understand that and you have problems in History of Magic so I could help you with that."

"No"

"Why not?"

"Why don't you have Granger help you with potions."

"She's always helping Harry and Ron, she doesn't really have time to help me. Come on Malfoy, it would help us both."

"I suppose," he said grudgingly. "On one condition."

"What's that?"

"You tell no one about this, especially not The Dream Team, I don't want it to get out that a Weasley is helping me."

"Do you even remember our little conversation about judging people? Whatever Malfoy, I won't tell anyone don't worry."

"Fine, meet me here tomorrow same time," he walked out the door.

"What did I get myself into?" Ginny mumbled to herself as she gathered her books and headed back to the common room with her completed homework.
