Chapter 5: Day 3, part 1
"Ginny, are you in here?" Draco asked, knocking softly on her door before opening it slightly. Peeking in, he seen she was still asleep. Sighing heavily, he stepped into the room. He was just about to wake her when he realized what he was doing.
"What the hell am I doing? Why do I care if Pot-head cheated on her?"
Slipping from the room, he went to get ready for the day. He decided he'd tell her, but he'd tell her like the heartless bastard that he was. There was no way he was going to let the situation they were in make him act like a idiot. He was a Malfoy and a Sytherin. Not some sodding Gryffindor.
When he stepped out of his room, she was on her way out the door.
"Hey, Weaslette," he called. "You should know that last night I found your perfect Potter screwing someone else." He sneered at her back, waiting for her to turn around and say something. He was in the mood for a good fight.
He waiting for nothing. She straightened her back and walked out the door, leaving him standing there like he had said nothing.
As soon as the door closed behind her, Ginny took off running. She needed to find someplace where no one was around. Where no one would find her. She found herself entering The Room of Requirement.
Sitting on the only chair in the room, she drew her knees up to her chest, wrapped her arms around her and started to cry.
She couldn't beleive it. Oh, not what Draco had said, she knew he was telling the truth. She couldn't believe that he'd done it again. Harry had cheated on her once before. When they had first started dating. Then, she was just so happy that he'd finally noticed her that she forgave him. But only with the promise that he'd never do it again. He swore that he wouldn't. He said it was a mistake. He hadn't meant for it to happen. He'd begged her not to tell Ron. That he would prefer to keep his head where it was.
God, how was she going to face everyone? She wouldn't very well go around with red, puffy eyes and a runny nose. Everyone would know something was wrong then. Draco Malfoy did not cry. No matter what.
Deciding that there had been sufficient time for Draco to have left the room, she headed back to their dorm. Thinking she'd just go back to bed till lunch time. After that she would have some fun. Potions was after that, she thought with an evil smirk. Being Draco, she could do what ever she wanted in Snapes class and get away with it. Oh, how sweet revenge would be.
Draco walked into the Great Hall with his head held high. He knew he was supposed to be Ginny Weasly, but inside he was Draco Malfoy, so he was going to act as nothing of great importance happened. He wouldn't pretend that what Potter did, did not effect him. As soon as he sat down, he realized there was no need for it. Apparently, the news hadn't spread yet. Though he did notice that Padma was strung as tight as an arrow and that people were asking her what was wrong but she kept shaking her head no. Hmm. that was interesting.
Ron, Hermione and Harry walked in. All three smiling and chatting happily. Now he knew for sure that no one knew anything. Ron might be best friends with Harry, but Draco also knew how he felt about his family. And best friends or no, Harry wouldn't be here right now if Ron knew anything.
When they sat down, Harry took his normal seat next to Ginny. He put his arm around her, leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Hi, sweetie. I'm sorry. Please forgive me? I really do love you."
Draco stiffened, then smiling sweetly -for the benifit of everyone else - turned to Harry. Narrowing his eyes he hissed, "Take your filthy hands of me. I'm not your sweetie, and I don't give a damn if you think you love me or not. I meant what I said last night."
Harry just smiled and placed his other hand on her thigh. " You don't mean that. I know you love me, too."
"Keep thinking that, asshole. Now, remove your hands from me before I break them."
Something in his eyes much have said he meant what he just said because Harry removed his hands and he scooted over a little.
"What's going on with you two?" Ron asked
"Nothing," Harry replied, "Ginny's just a bit mad at me."
"Oh, well, I don't want to know. I'm staying out of it. Ginny can be pretty vindictive when she wants to be and I have enough of my own problems without her anger directed at me. Growing up with her, I've had to live with enough of her hexes."
Draco giggled.
"Oh, my god! Did I just giggle?"
Yes, he did. Just from the look on Weasly's face told him some of those hexes were pretty bad. He didn't think she had it in her.
"Who, me?" He asked innocently.
"Yeah, you. Don't try to act all innocent and sweet. I know better. You were always Fred and George's favorite. They liked to test their stuff on you and in return they taught you all their curses and hexes."
Draco laughed. Weasly still had this pained expression on his face. And he knew the twins well. Yes, Ginny Weasly could hold her own.
Harry Potter was squriming in his seat. He didn't know what was wrong, but he felt really uncomfortable.
It started with just little tingles in his hands, then they moved up his arm. The tingles turned into pains. It almost felt as if his arm had went numb and he was slowly regaining the feeling back. It almost caused him to drop his wand in his cauldron.
He jumped, slapping a hand to the back of his neck. It felt like something bit him.
He looked around the room. Everyone was busy with their potions. He thought maybe someone was cursing him. He narrowed his eyes at Draco. But Draco was paying him no mind. He was leaning over his own cauldron, watching it carefully.
Shaking his head, he went back to work. A few minutes passed and nothing happened. Relaxing, he started to add the last ingredient when suddenly he was jumping out of his seat, yelping.
Everyone looked at him.
"Mr. Potter, is there a problem?" Snape asked.
"No, sir. Sorry sir."
Snape looked at him carefully then went back to grading the essays on his desk.
Embarrassed, Harry sat back down, his eyes looking no where but at his own desk.
"Harry, what was that about?" Ron whispered.
"Er, nothing. I'll tell you later."
Shrugging Ron went back to work.
For the next ten mintues, everything was quiet. Then Harry started to shake, his breathing laboring. Ron was looking at him, a question in his eyes. Harry just shook his head, mouthed the word, "later." When the tremors passed, he looked down in his lap and seen a big wet spot. grabbing his robes, he wrapped them around his so that no one would see him. Now he knew someone was hexing him. That was the only way to explain a sudden orgasm in the middle of Potions class.
He jumped out his seat again, yelling. It felt like a thousand nails had just popped out of his seat, sticking him in his bum and other sensitive areas.
"Mr. Potter. That is enough. I don't know what you're playing at, but it had better stop now. 20 Points from Gryffindor and a detention. Where do you think you're going?"
"To the hospital wing," he called back as he raced from the room. He needed to go see Pomfrey. Something was deffinately wrong. His back side was hurting badly and he was having trouble walking. He was sure she could fix what ever was wrong with him.
"Granger, Weasly, inform Potter that he has another detention added onto the first one for running out of here like that."
"Yes sir," they mumbled together.
Meanwhil, across the room, Ginny was trying deperately not to laugh outloud. Harry was going to be in the hospital wing the rest of the day. That last little hex she hurled at him was a doozy. At this moment, she had never been so glad to a Weasly. Harry didn't know it now, but the nails he felt were real. And the only way to get them out was with a slow working charm. Once performed, it takes about 5 hours finish. You can't just take the nails out, they're embedded in the skin, if you pull them out, it will cause more damage.
Oh, she knew it was a Dark Arts hex, but right now she didn't really care.
TBC. Ok, well, that's the end of this chapter. Day 3 will continue in the next enstallment. Now, I need some feedback... who thinks I should have it where Draco and Ron become friends after he finds out what Harry did to Ginny, or should they stay enemies? Although, if they do become friends, it won't be right way, but some of the tension between them will go away. I can't really decide what I want to do with them. But I do have idea's for Harry.. And some of them aren't pretty. And if you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. And if I use them, I'll give you the credit either at the begining or the end of the chapter is appears in. Don't forget to review.
Oh, sassw14, if I can't find a processor, or if mine doesn't start working, I'd be happy to let you look it over before I post it.
