Chapter 5
Ginny awoke with a start the next morning. She stared around wildly looking for what awoke her. Everything was normal, all her room mates asleep except the tapping, rain she first thought, no not like that. Curiously she pulled back her hangings a little further and glanced at the window. A beautiful eagle owl was perched handsomely on the window sill frantically tapping the window pane. Ginny tiptoed across the room and opened the window to let the bird in. He hopped from the sill to the small bedside table and held out his leg. Ginny gently undid the string and freed the letter from the bird. She read it, it was addressed to her. She opened the letter and read the familiar untidy scrawl
Dear Ginny
How are you this morning? Sorry if I upset you last night,
I saw the hurt in your eyes but I think its best for us to
Cool it for the time being. Maybe I can invent a club a
Few nights a week. Sorry if the owl woke you he's my
Families, I missed him at breakfast as I wrote a letter to
You but I never managed to get back in time as I intended to.
He came just as I got back tonight from our 'chat' he brought
Me my usual sweets. I decided to use him to write to you as I
Can't stop seeing how hurt you looked every time I go to go to
Sleep or even close my eyes. please send your reply to my request
For you to accompany me to the Halloween ball in one month's time
Then I could get it at breakfast
All my love and roses

Ginny turned over the parchment and grabbed her friend Fern's pen and replied

Me but on reflection it's for the best. I still love you soooooo much

Dress suitable and not enough money for a new one. My dress
Is dark purple.
She took the parchment rolled it up and securely tied it to the birds leg. with one swift movement it took flight out the window and upwards towards the owlery above. With a sigh and a dreamy smile imprinted on her face, Ginny closed the window and got back into bed. She lay there shivering for a while daydreaming of her and Draco waltzing around the great hall feeling special and looking beautiful, Draco in front of her smiling warmly.
