He didn't understand why she did it. He sat in the Great Hall, forgetting the meal in front of him as he thought about what had happened. After everybody left he finally got up. Outside of the double doors, he ran into the people he wanted to see the least. They pushed him into the wall as he said "What do you want Potter, Weasley? I don't have time to play games."
"We need to talk Malfoy" Harry was blocking his front and right side, while Ron, who was cracking his knuckles, was on his left side.
"I have no reason to talk to you two" He tried to walk away but Ron pushed him right back into the wall.
"Look, Malfoy, we don't want to be here either, but you better tell us what you did to my sister or else, I swear I'll pound you to a pulp!"
This was getting old fast. "Look Weasley, first of all I didn't do anything to your little sister, and second of all, I don't have anything to explain to you. So if you'll excuse me, I need to go to my common room before you two make me get detention" He shoved them out of the way and headed toward the Slytherin common room.
When he got there it was to find that half the house was surrounded around Pansy, who seemed to be telling them a story. He reached the little gathering just as she was finishing a sentence.
"…And then he said he never met anyone as pretty as-" She stopped short when she noticed that he was standing there, and quickly changed the subject. "Hey there, where were you?"
"Nowhere. What were you talking about?"
"Nothing… I better go to sleep." She quickly got up from her seat and went up to her dormitory.
"So Draco how does it feel to be a man?"
"What you talking about Flint?"
"Come on Draco. We all know you and Pansy are hitting the sack. That's all she's been talking about. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the entire school knows it, the way her mouths been running."
"That bitch."
"What did you say?" He didn't answer. Instead he went up to his dormitory and thought about what to do. That's why she slapped me. She thinks I went behind her back and slept with Pansy! Oh that bitch is going to be sorry for ever taking my kindness for granted. Oh well I might as well go see if I can talk to Ginny and explain that nothing happened. He went over to his trunk and took out an invisibility cloak he had once gotten for his birthday. He put it on and quietly sneaked out of the common room, thankful that everyone was still talking too much to notice the sudden movement at the entrance as he stepped out. He quickly made his way to the gryffindor common room. He had once sneaked up there with Ginny and knew the password. He prayed to god that it was still the same.
When he reached the Portrait, he said the password Ginny had used (hippogriff) and to his relief it worked. Grateful for the empty common room, he headed up the stairs, ready for what came next. It was a risk- he knew it. But if it meant he could still have her, it was worth it.
