Chapter 8

" Hello Harry!" George greeted Harry.

" Hi George, nice crowd." Harry said. He looked around. He was impressed. Fred and George hadn't wasted that money. Harry was glad to have helped them in fulfilling their dream.

" So how have you and Fred been? Is the business doing okay?" Harry asked curiously.

" Oh yes! You'd be surprised. This is an easy day if you want me to be completely honest. There's usually so many people, one of us has to stand at the entrance to make sure there's no stealing. It's amazing though, having our own shop and all. Oh and Mum is finally supporting us too! She came down in May and she was impressed." George stated happily.

George led Harry around the shop showing him all kinds of new things they'd invented. Harry thought their minds were brilliant. He wasn't surprised to hear from Fred that they  were beating Zonko's in sales.

" I'm telling you Harry I could do this 'til the day I die. And the money is just rolling in. Yup. Ron and Ginny won't be using hand-me-downs anymore." Fred gloated.

Harry decided he'd come back on his own to buy a few things from the store. He found Ron and said good bye to the twins and Ron and Harry set out in Diagon Alley once more.

" We need to find the girls. Soon it'll be dark. We shouldn't have waited until 3:30 to get out of the hotel." Ron bickered.

Harry nodded. He was thinking about Hogwarts. It was less than a week away. He couldn't wait to get back to school and start his classes and see all of his friends. Plus, he felt safest when he was there, Dumbledore being a big part in that.

"Hermione, Ginny c'mon!" Ron yelled. He had spotted them around the corner. While Harry had been thinking, his pace had slowed and he was a few yards behind Ron.

Ginny and Hermione came around the corner. They were linked arm in arm with several bags each. They looked rather pleased with themselves.

" What the bloody hell did you two buy?" Ron yelled, shocked by how many bags they had.

" Well," Hermione replied, " we got everyone's books because we didn't do that yesterday. And then Ginny and I decided to go look…. Around. And we just found, you know, a few things that we really needed." Hermione finished trying to sound as convincing as possible. She hadn't actually lied. She just left out the fact that Ginny and Hermione did all of their present shopping for the whole year. Everyone's birthdays and all the holidays were now covered.

Ginny giggled and everyone continued walking.

Ginny was trying so hard to keep a happy face on when ever she was around Ron or Harry. If either of them found out what happened yesterday in the alley, they'd both go mad. Ginny felt so horrible. Her and Harry's relationship had finally started to actually go somewhere other than the harmless flirting.

What had Malfoy been thinking. Did he think my pulling him into the alley was some sort of invitation to stick his tongue down my throat? No, Of course not! He knew very well why I pulled him in the alley. And that was to get away from anyone who might go to Hogwarts or even worse, might know Harry or Ron. Ginny had to admit that the kiss was a very nice one. His lips are so soft. Ginny thought. At that Ginny forced herself to pay attention to the people she was with, but by that time she had already found herself in the Leaky Cauldron and going up the stairs to the rooms.

Ginny felt someone lightly grab onto her hand and she turned around suddenly.

" Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Harry said, "I  just wanted to know if everything was okay."

Ginny put on a fake smile.

"Everything is fine Harry, just fine. I'm just a little tired is all. I'll see you in the morning okay?"

" Gin, you have to eat though!"

" Oh, I will don't worry, I'll order some what is it called…"

" Room service?" Harry asked.

" Oh yes that!" Ginny said.

" Alright, g'night." Harry said as softly pressed his lips against her cheek. "See you in the morning."

Ginny walked up to her room. She opened the door and Hermione was sitting on her bed reading a book.

" What's is that you got Hermione?" Ginny asked curiously.

" Oh this is the book I  got from the Twiggins' Shop. It's called Rights of House Elves by Ziggy Waffa."

" Oh..", Ginny trailed off.

She walked into the bathroom, put on her pajamas and brushed her teeth.

By that time Hermione had decided to lay down and go to sleep. So she did the same.

BOOM

Ginny woke up in a cold sweat. She looked around. It was dark but her eyes had pretty much adjusted to the room. She and Hermione weren't alone. Ginny saw a dark figure standing next to the fireplace. Her heart started racing and her eyes kept darting everywhere, her mind racing, asking the same question over and over again. O god, don't panic, maybe your still dreaming. No your not dreaming. Should I scream, okay I'll scream. She opened her mouth but no sound came out. The figure started to pace and then started walking towards her. She rose up and before she could get out of bed, the figure was beside her. She opened her mouth again but a hand was pushed onto her mouth to prevent any sound coming out. She looked up at the face of the intruder. What the fuck is he doing here!!!!! The little… ahhh. Ginny slapped Malfoy's face, causing him to step back.

" What the fuck was that for?" Malfoy asked while trying to control his temper.

" Why are you here? Draco, why won't you just leave me alone?" Ginny asked angrily.

" I had to see you." Draco simply replied.

Draco thought about what had caused him to make such an irrational move. Ever since the alley incident, Ginny is all he could think about. He had to see her, he wanted to be with her. He longed to kiss her and hold her and here her giggle at his stupid little remarks. He missed the fighting, which almost always led to an intimate scene.

" Draco, you can't just sneak in my room like this! I can't believe , well I can believe it, but I can't believe you did that. And after that kiss, that stupid kiss…" Ginny trailed off.

She stared into his eyes. He looked so lost. He didn't look like he'd had much sleep. He was hurting. About what, she didn't know. Now all she longed to do was to hold him in her arms and comfort him. But she wouldn't. She was determined to stand her ground.

" Harry and I are a couple now, Draco. You need to leave now." Ginny demanded. She could see the anger in his eyes.

"Why did you kiss me before you ran away?" Draco asked out of the blue.

Ginny didn't know how to respond.

"I, well, I don't know." Ginny said.

But in her heart she did know. She wanted Draco more than ever. As much as it pained her to admit, Draco was the only boy she had ever dated that she grew to love, and her love couldn't just disappear.

" I think you're lying." Draco stated.

" Well what do you know Malfoy! Nothing! Just leave me alone…" Ginny could feel the tears building up but she wouldn't let him see her cry. She was determined to make him think her only interest was Harry.

" Fine!" Malfoy shouted angrily.

He was so angry, he didn't know what to do. He longed to kiss her, knowing she wouldn't resist it, but she could make him so angry. Just then Ginny grabbed the collar of his shirt. She pulled him onto the bed and started to kiss him intimately. Just then Hermione woke up.

" GINNY!" Hermione screamed.

Hermione didn't recognize who it was and thought she was being raped. Hermione grabbed her wand and yelled, "Flewiomus!" which threw Draco across the room and against the wall.

Ginny jumped up.

" Hermione calm down it's okay!"

With all the commotion, Ron and Harry had woken up and were at the door banging and asking to be let in or they'd do a spell and force their way in.

Ginny started to panic. She ran over to Draco and he appeared to be okay.

" Draco, you have to leave now." She helped him up and over to the fireplace. Hermione, recognizing who it was, started really understand the situation and just stood there stunned.

" Hermione, Ginny!!!! Let us in now!"  Ron yelled.

At that Ginny pushed Draco into the fireplace and Draco yelled something Ginny couldn't understand and he was gone.

In the next instant, Harry broke down the door. He and Ron stormed into the room with panicked looks on their faces. Hermione still stood in the same spot staring at Ginny.

" What the bloody hell happened!?!?" Ron yelled.

" Shh, Ron people are trying to sleep!" Hermione interrupted taking her out of her gaze.

" Ginny what happened?" Harry asked.

Harry looked so concerned. Ginny felt so bad. She had betrayed Harry again. And this time she had made the move. Draco was going to leave and she had pulled him onto the bed.
 " Umm…" Ginny said trying to think up anything, anything that would sound better than the truth.

" She had a bad dream." Hermione starting lying, " And umm, when she woke up she," Hermione hesitated, " she didn't realize she woke up. So I was having to yell at her to snap her out of it."

Ginny was stunned. She couldn't believe Hermione had just done that for her. Especially after seeing Hermione's face when she saw Draco.

"Oh." Harry sighed with relief.

" Well if that was all then I'm going down stairs, all the commotion has made me hungry!" Ron said. And with that he stormed off.

" Well if you two are okay then I guess I'll be leaving too." Harry said. He took one last look at Ginny. She semi smiled. She completely avoided eye contact. She could barely stand to look at him at all.

" I'm sorry I woke you up Harry…" Ginny managed to say, but he had already left the room.
