He sat frozen, her eyes had met his. They were full of laughter and joy,
something he had never seen in them before.
'She is so wonderful,' he thought. 'I want to kiss that smile right off her face.'
She held his gaze for a moment and turned back to her friends and started talking again. His heart was racing. Gods! He needed to get laid or something!! He had tried to fuck some of the stupid sluts in Hufflepuff, but he couldn't keep his mind off Virginia's luscious body and deep, entrancing eyes. He damned near screamed her name when he was with that Bones whore. He needed a cold shower. He swiftly got up without a word and stormed off to the Prefects bathroom.
Life at Hogwarts was beginning to buzz as excitement about the Christmas Ball rang around the school. Ginny loved the excitement and was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to ask her since the ball was only a week away.
Her schooling with Minerva, who only decided to be on first name terms with a student after a great amount of prodding, and Albus was coming along quit well. She had learned that she could turn into over one thousand creatures and counting. She also continued dueling and was able to do several spells all at once. They had started to discuss the possibility of letting her loved ones know about her powers, but Ginny had decided she was not ready to go that far. Minerva had been greatly pleased at how far she had come and could still go, and also showed her great enthusiasm and support for whatever she wanted to do.
However, it was getting harder to concentrate one her magic since her thoughts had been becoming more and more crowded with Draco. She really wanted him to ask her to the ball, but knew he wouldn't.
She had caught him following her one day about a week ago and realized he was everywhere, almost like a shadow. It confused her at first, but she almost enjoyed the attention he seemed to be giving her. She wondered how long he had been following her. She also wondered if he saw her going into the secret chamber with Minerva and Albus at night. She was almost sure he had, but knew that he couldn't possibly know why and confronting him would probably only make him wonder more about her reasons for late night rendezvous with teachers.
Classes were coming to an end for the term. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all staying for the holidays. One day, she had been sitting in front of the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room, trying to finish a report for Snape, when she looked up and saw Harry watching her. She smiled at him, a little confused and he smiled back and gave her wink. She knew he really didn't care about her. She loved him so much, but now thought of him strictly as a friend, a distant friend, but still a friend. How could she not? He had saved her life. Did it really matter that he barely noticed she was alive? Besides he had been through such horrible things and gone through so much. She wished deeply that she could have been as powerful then as she is now. She would of gladly killed Voldemort and been done with all that shit if just to spare him.
However, as she had voiced her thoughts to Albus, his words were something she already knew.
"Each person has their own trials and must walk alone through them."
She looked down solemnly at her shoes as she sat on the couch, finally done with the five foot long report.
"Excuse me, Ginny?" A deep, burley Irish accent brought her out of her thoughts and she smiled into the eyes of Seamus Finnigan.
He was a very tall, attractive Irish man with sandy blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He had always been Ginny's friend, and even though he was one of the most attractive men at Hogwarts, she had never thought of him than anything more.
"Yeah?"
He cleared his throat and looked a bit uncomfortable, "I was, just, um, wondering if you would like to go to the ball with me?" His face was blushing and his thick Irish drawl became deeper with his nervousness.
Ginny smiled and stood up to give him a hug, "Sure Seamus, that'd be great." She stepped back from him and smiled warmly at the shock on his face. "What you didn't think I would say yes?"
Seamus looked down at the floor again and then, up into her eyes. 'He sure is cute', Ginny suddenly thought.
"Well, not really." Ginny started laughing and dragged him down with her to sit and talk for a while by the fire.
They had been talking for hours when Ginny realized it was probably near midnight and thought how Monday was coming which meant classes and early hours.
"Seamus, we've been talking for hours."
Seamus smiled a sexy teasing smile, "I know."
Ginny studied him, "How long were you planning on keeping me up? We've got classes in the morning."
He just shrugged and continued to stare at her. Ginny shook her head and leaned back feeling defeated. She realized she had lain right on Seamus' shoulder. She felt a warm tingle go through her body and she instinctively snuggled up closer to him.
She could feel Seamus' smile on her head as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hair. Ginny turned and looked at him for a long time, until his lips were on top of hers.
The kiss was much better than Neville's. It was wonderful, but somehow lacking. She didn't understand what was wrong with it, but she pushed the thought out of her head and melted into Seamus. As they broke his face was flush and his lips slightly red and swollen. They were both gasping for breathe and she felt almost shy as he gazed at her.
"That was great Gin." he whispered over her head as she laid back into his arms.
"Yeah", she said, fighting back the thoughts of what was lacking and how it just didn't seem right.
