Summary – Draco Malfoy fascinates Ginny Weasley, and not being a typical Gryffindor will this interest lead to something more? Disclaimer – I own nothing...I am sure you have read many of these, so as much as I wish I did come up with the Harry Potter idea, I am most certain if I was to tell you I did you probably wouldn't believe me anyway, so therefore it would be a waste of my time to try and convince you, am I babbling? A/N – Thankyou so much. I have to recommend a fic to you, it is one of the best I have ever read, not Ginny/Draco but it explores Tom Riddle's years through Hogwarts and I think depicts his relationship with Dumbledore very well. It's Kate Lynn's The Broken Victory. At least I think that is what it is called. This chapter was difficult to get out so I'm sorry if it sucks! (
Chapter Seven - Retribution
The next few days past without incident, it occurred to Ginny that Draco was probably avoiding her, she hadn't seen him and Snape had called her into his office and told her that he no longer wanted to tutor her, so Hermione would be doing it. For a few nights Ginny did nothing except think to herself, sometimes she even allowed a tear or too, but she always felt silly crying over somebody she had never even had, besides, he wasn't worth it!
It became clear to Ginny that Malfoy didn't like her, how could he? He ran away, probably shocked and disgusted at what he had done, and now he didn't want to be anywhere near him.
Ginny carped and wearily made her way down to breakfast. She glanced around the room and saw Luna waving at her from the Ravenclaw table, hesitating for a second Ginny made her way over to Luna, ever since finding out her friend really did know Draco she hadn't trust her as much.
"Morning Gin" She greeted cheerfully.
Ginny grunted in reply, picking a sausage up and violently biting it.
"Gin..." Luna began to speak hesitantly.
Ginny looked up at Luna, seeing a serious, afraid expression in her eyes.
"What?" Ginny said, after seeing Luna wince, she regretted the harsh tone.
"Um...I don't think I've been overally truthful about Draco and myself..." Luna began carefully watching Ginny's face.
Ginny knocked over a glass of juice earning a glare from a Ravenclaw a few seats down, whom stood and stormed off.
Ginny raised an eyebrow at Luna, questioning her.
"Well, you see, it's just Gin, I've known Draco pretty much my whole life..." Luna said.
Ginny couldn't help grinning a bit, despite herself, it was slightly comical, Luna and her wacky family with the snobbish Malfoy's.
"How?" Ginny replied honestly curious.
Luna blushed slightly. Ginny halted, it must be something, and she had NEVER seen Luna blush before.
"Well, you see..."Luna began nervously repeating her words, "Draco's mother, and mine were quite good friends..." Luna said trailing off.
"Narcissa? Black?" Ginny said sharply, remembering Sirius's words years ago about his cousin.
Luna sat up a little straighter, "Yeah, do you know her?"
Ginny snorted. "No...I've only heard about her..." Ginny replied remembering Sirius's stories.
Luna's eyes brightened a bit, "Well you can see why Draco and I became friends then!" Luna said happily.
"What?" Ginny replied brusquely
Luna frowned slightly. "Well, you know, Narcissa Black is lovely, you can see where Draco gets it from!"
"Lovely?" Ginny said laughing.
"Yes!" Luna replied a little angrily, "After my mother died, she sort of adopted me in a way, I spent time with Draco, despite his father being a right old prick, his mom was lovely...as I said" Luna said quickly.
"Well..." Ginny said, not really knowing what to say at this news. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ginny accused.
Luna ducked her head a bit, "Well it's just Gin, Draco didn't really want anybody to find out..."
"Well that's rather rude isn't it?" Ginny replied.
"Not really Gin, I can understand it..." Luna argued. "Draco has an image to uphold, and besides, if anybody found out it might mean trouble, perhaps not anymore, but before it would have." Luna finished off popping a piece of toast into her mouth.
"Oh" Ginny replied feeling slightly guilty for doubting her friend.
"But why didn't you tell me?" Ginny asked.
"Well I was going to Gin, but then you got this thing for him and I don't know, it just seemed strange" Luna tried to redeem herself.
"He likes you Gin, he does" Luna said softly after a pause.
Ginny glared at her, "Oh yes, and he showed me that didn't he!" Ginny spat remembering him ignoring her.
Luna sighed, "It's just his way Gin, he is so...so...hidden, in his feelings, but I can tell he likes you..." Luna continued.
"We kissed..."Ginny murmured under her breath.
Luna dropped a knife which they watched wobble as it drove into the wood, "WHAT?" she bellowed after all danger had past.
"A couple of nights ago...he's ignoring me though, and he ran too..." Ginny said quietly thinking about the kiss.
Luna laughed and clapped her hands together. "HE DOES!" Luna said loudly.
"What?" Ginny asked, her voice muffled with some pancakes.
"Like you..."Luna whispered across the table.
Ginny sighed, "That's impossible Luna, he's ignoring me, he regrets it" Ginny replied bitterly.
She was surprised when she looked up and saw Luna shaking her head feverishly..."Gin you don't understand Malfoy, well not yet...he's just afraid silly!"
Ginny looked at Luna sceptically before walking off too Potions. Her heart beat rose rapidly, Draco had ignored her the past week, but today they were to do a Potions in class, making one that is, and usually she paired with him, otherwise she would be stuck by herself. Ginny walked through the door and noted that pretty much the whole class was already seated, except Snape wasn't there. Slowly she turned her head and let out the breath she had been holding when she saw Draco sitting down. He was sitting reclining back in his chair and staring straight out the front. Ginny wavered, he was just staring straight out the front, as if he was in a daze, but he seemed too...'off with the pixies'...he was still ignoring her. Ginny smiled at Harry, who was sitting with Padma Patil, and sat nervously next to Draco. She saw him flinch slightly and Ginny frowned. How dare he treat her like this? He kissed her back, he should at least have the decency to talk to her, or tell her he wanted nothing to do with her. Ginny wanted nothing more than to look right into his eyes and see if he really didn't feel anything for her, she of course, hoped not. Ginny watched Snape stalk into the room and sighed rolling her eyes at Harry who was staring at her.
Ginny motioned towards Draco rolling her eyes, and Harry laughed but then suddenly stopped looking at a point over her shoulder. Harry made a gesture with his eyes and Ginny realised that Draco must have noticed. Reluctantly she turned around to meet his eyes. He had his mask on; she couldn't see any of the previous emotions on his face. He still didn't say anything. Impatiently Ginny slammed her potions textbook down on her desk, trying her best to ignore the piercing glare from Snape. By the end of the lesson Ginny had, had enough...it was all good and well for him to avoid her, but to bluntly and so openly ignore her when she had spent the last hour right next to him was just that little bit too far.
"Are you going to bottle the potion?"
Ginny whipped around and saw Draco was pointing at the Potion they had brewed that lesson. Ginny narrowed her eyes at him and snarled, "You bottle it you git!" Ginny turned around and began to stalk away when she changed her mind and turned to face him again. Draco's eyes gave a hint of confusion when Ginny started to smirk and walk over, silently she kept eye contact with him and then spontaneously Ginny slammed her hand into the cauldron letting the contents fly out of it and all over Draco. Laughing bitterly at the shocked look on his face Ginny grabbed Harry's arm who had been standing quite still, not really believing what happened, and skipped off.
Harry glanced curiously at Ginny who skipped off cheerfully. "What was that all about Gin?" He asked her, watching her bop up and down.
Ginny grinned at him and replied, "What was what Har?"
Harry looked at her over his glasses, "Alright, if you don't want to tell me then..."
That night at dinner Ginny could feel Draco looking at her sometimes, she would look up and catch his eye, he wasn't angry no...but he wasn't happy...
After finishing her apple crumble Ginny left the great hall intending to go to the library to study for an assignment, but she froze when she saw Draco leaning lazily against the wall staring straight at her. There eyes met for a brief second before Ginny brushed straight past him never turning back to look at him. She left behind a very puzzled but fascinated boy.
