By the next afternoon everyone knew about the two dancing, and the
opportunity was too great for some to miss. By the time Ron, Harry,
Hermione, and a red faced Ginny got down to breakfast they had heard that
Ginny and Malfoy were,
1:Getting married,
2:Having a baby,
3:Ginny was under a spell, and finally,
4:Draco was planning something for Voldemort to kill Ginny.
When Ginny walked into the Great Hall everything was suddenly hushed, as if a thick blanket had been draped over everyone. Soon enough, though, everyone was whispering behind their hands, and that disturbed Ginny far more than the silence. As she sat at the Gryffindor table, flanked by Ron and Harry, everyone turned to look at her. She scowled, and glared at them. SHe knew this would only feul some rumors, but she didn't need people gawking at her.
Looking around she noticed that Draco was sitting, hiding in his seat, crouched over his plate as if nothing else mattered. She felt sorry for him; this had to be far worse thatn it was for her.She wondered breifly why Ron was looking at her like that, then remembered that se was looking directly at Draco. SHe blushed and dropped her head, looking at her plate. SHe didn't feel lke eating, anymore.
A familiar sound filled the air; mail was here. She looked up and saw Peckers, flying alongside another owl...with...a..."Ron!" Ginny cried! "Ron what did you write to her for?" Ron was picking at his food, but he said in a firm voice, "She had to know to put you out of this nonsense," Ginny grumbled, "You;re starting to sound like Percy," but she had other things to...wait. Yes, there was Peckers with her mum's owl and a Howler...but it wasn't the only one. She noticed a sleek white owl flying swiftly away from her with a scarlet letter...headed for the Slytherin table. Ginny groaned as her owls drew near. She saw the letter Peckers had, and she felt her heart rise. There was only one person who used that type of parchment...
Her letters were dropped, and she quickly took Peckers letter and stuffed it n her robes, ignoring Harry's stare. SHe looked nervously at the Howler, then cautiously reached for it. Just as she opened hers and covered her ears another voice boomed out into the great hall. Her mothers voice mixed in with the shrill voice of Narcissa Malfoy. For that Ginny was releived. You couldn't make out what either of them was saying, but you could get the idea. She saw Draco, cowering in his seat, and remembered her letter.
She pulled it out, tuning out the loud voices of the mothers, and then it wasn't there.Ginny looked around, confused. Then she saw that Harry had it. "Harry! That is my mail! You give it back!" she shouted, grabbing for the paper. Harry tapped Ron's shoulder and nodded at Ginny, then at the letter. Ron held out his hand and Harry started to hand over the paper. Ginny snatched it out of his hand and hid it once again in her robes.
The Howlers ended and left the Hall ringing with their silence. Then talk broke out again, no doubt about what had just happened. Two Howlers, at the same time, Right after the whole Draco Ginny episode. Ginny sighed, knowing that they'd never stop talking about it.But for now she wanted to read Draco's letter, so she got up and walked out of the Great Hall, ignoring the stares on her back.
When she got to an empty classroom and slunk against the wall and pulled out his letter, openening it and reading it quickly.His words made her feel like a fall day. Her world was quiet, dark, and cloudy, and he came, a crisp wind and pale sunlight, to clear her world and take her away to a place full of his pale light that fills her, a delicate crystal that was only complete when filled with the essence of him.
She was so lost in her daydream that she almost skipped a partof his letter. But she saw Fred and George there and re-read the paragraph. Her daydream faded as she realized what had happened. She then remembered the way he kept his head down so as to not see his face. She grew angry at Fred and George, and sh almost yellled aloud, "Why do they have to act like this? It's my life!". She didn't notice the person coming up behind her until they snatched the letter out of her hand.
"Hey!" se yelled, surprised. SHe whirled around to glare at whoever it was, and saw that Harry was reading her letter. She panicked; what if he told Ron and tried to stop her from going to meet Draco? She snatched the letter out of hishands, accidentally cutting the palm of his right hand. "Hey!" now it was his turn to yell. Ginny scowled. "Well, you deserved it. What were you thinking, coming up and snatching my letter?" Ginny was absolutely furious now. "Why can't anyone just leave me alone and let me live my own life?"
Harry backed away, hands up; his right was bleeding. "Your brothers and I are just looking out for you, Ginny," he said, holding his hand. "Yeah, well, had it ever occurred to you that I could take care of myself? You should go see Pomfrey for a banage," she added, seeing his hand.She then stormed out, leaving Harry in the room. "I'm sure you can help yourself, as I so obviously can't" she yelled over he shoulder, her voice dripping with sarcasm, not bothering to even turn around. Harry just stood there, gaping.
