Chapter 4
The Note
Ginny turned around. Surprisingly Draco minions were nowhere to be found. "Here, give this to Hermione but don't tell her that it's from Me." muttered Draco as he shoved a letter into her hand and started to walk away.
"Why should I? Ginny glared standing her ground "What does it say?"
"Just do it!" snarled Draco turning back toward her.
Ginny stood there with her hands on her hips waiting for an explanation.
Draco sighed and rolled his eyes knowing that Ginny wouldn't give it to Hermione if he didn't tell her. "It tells her to meet me at the library. Ok?"
Ginny glared at him "What are you going to do? I swear if you harm her…"
"I'm not going to do anything to her, God! Just give her the fucking note."
"Ok, ok geese!"
"What are you doing Malfoy?" Harry growled as he hurried over.
"Oh nothing I was just asking Ginny to do me a favor is all. Right Ginny?" Draco smirked, turned on his heel and strode off.
Harry threw her a questioning look. Ginny blushed and turned away so Harry couldn't see her face.
"Haarrryyy!" A voice flowed down the corridor.
"Oh God not now." Harry mumbled under his breath. He turned around with a fake smile on his face. "Hello Cho!" He didn't understand why she had to start to take an interest in him now. Since those dreams he has lost all feeling for Cho, and finally realized that she was just a snobby brat. The other day Harry had overheard her talking to her friends about how she didn't even love Cedric she had only been going out with him because all the girls were after him. But because of his death she had gotten great publicity by being the deceased girlfriend.
"So Harry do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?" Cho asked glancing at Ginny then back at Harry flipping her hair back.
Harry saw a smile flicker over her face then fall into a frown as he turned around to find Ginny quickly walking away.
Harry trotted after Ginny saying over his shoulder "I've got better things to do."
Harry reached Ginny as they walked into the Great Hall. They found Hermione and Ron sitting across from each other at the Gryffindor table. Ginny went around the table and sat next to Hermione while Harry sat next to Ron.
"Hello Ginny, where have you been?" Hermione asked.
"I went for a walk and fell asleep by the lake." Ginny said
"Yah thanks a lot you two, I had to spend a beautiful day in the library… studying!" Ron said in disgust and glaring at Hermione.
Hermione rolled her eyes "Harry where were YOU all day?"
"Just wandering." Harry said as Dumbledore spoke and the food appeared in front of them. He hadn't realized how hungry he was and piled food onto his plate. He looked over at Ginny she had her head bent down and looked like she was reading something then she looked over her shoulder at the Slytherin table and back down. Harry could feel his heart starting to race, why was she talking to Draco when he came down? Was there something between them?
Ginny sat there thinking if she should give the letter to Hermione or not. She glanced over her shoulder at Draco. He looked like if she didn't give Hermione the note soon he would come over and do it himself.
"Ginny eat something! You're going to make yourself sick if you don't." Hermione said worriedly "You didn't eat that much this morning either."
Ginny grabbed a sandwich and when the boys started talking about Quidditch she turned to Hermione and asked her to come with her to the common room. They left the boys to argue about who would be the next keeper for Gryffindor.
"What is going on with you lately?" Hermione questioned.
"Just a lot of things on my mind." Ginny said forcing a smile onto her face to get Hermione to drop it, but of course it didn't work.
"Like what?" Hermione asked
"Well like this." She pulled the letter out of her pocket and handed it to Hermione.
Dear Hermione,
Hermione love, please meet me in the library tonight at 8:00pm. Until then I'm thinking of you.
Sincerely,
Yours truly
The note was scrawled on regular parchment in red ink and had a hint of cologne on it.
"Where did you get this?" Hermione inquired.
"He told me to give it to you." Ginny said looking at her feet.
"Who did?!" Hermione said flustered
"He also told me not to tell you?" Ginny said feeling like she was betraying her best friend.
Hermione started walking again with a frown on her face. She wondered if she should go meet this guy or not. Ginny wouldn't have given it to her if she thought that it was a bad idea. Plus there would be other people in the library doing last minute homework so it wasn't like she would be in any danger.
"So… are you going to go?" Ginny asked
"I'm not sure." Hermione stated
"If you do want to go I can come with you… if you want."
"Thanks I guess I'll go then." She said smiling at Ginny. I just wish you would tell me who gave this to you."
