Three Months Ago (Part 1)

Chapter 3

As soon as Draco disappeared into the castle, Ginny's frown returned, even deeper than before. Her normally sparkling brown eyes were now shrouded in guilt as she remembered what she had done.

"I never tricked you, I really care about you. I feel safe with you. What ever made you think that all we had was a lie?"

It wasn't completely true, but it wasn't completely untrue either. But Ginny was an honest girl and she knew that if she told Draco what really was the truth, his heart would break because the truth was really that horrible.

Three Months Ago

Ginny Weasley had just boarded the Hogwarts Express for her 6th year at the school. Hermione and Harry had spent the summer holidays back at the Burrow and in truth, Ginny was sick of them so instead of turning towards the last carriage, she moved towards one of the cabins were the other girls from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff from the same year would be.

Unnoticed by Ginny, a pair of sliver-gray eyes followed her movement from carriage to carriage. Lately Draco Malfoy had been catching himself staring at the Weaslette more and more often. True, she had grown much more attractive and was attracting more stares than ever before but why should he even be thinking of her? She was a Weasley for god's sake! A pureblood, but a muggle-lover nonetheless. And she was poor! How could the thought of even associating himself with her even enter his mind?! But he couldn't stop thinking of her waist long red hair cascading down her back that was slightly curled at the ends and the look in her trustful chocolate brown eyes when she glanced at him. She was perfect, but she was forbidden, and always will be.

Just as she was about to enter the carriage, a girl with long curly tresses of blonde hair planted herself in front of Ginny with her hands on her hips. A bright smile was pasted upon her face and there was a twinkle in her eye as she greeted Ginny.

"Virginia Faye Weasley! You said that you would owl me for the whole summer holiday, every single day! I do not believe that you broke that sacred promise. You hurt me Ginny, real bad." The drama queen said with a false cry and a look of disbelief across her face.

Ginny couldn't help by laugh and quickly pulled her friend in for an embrace. The both of them held on tightly amid giggles and squeals of delight.

"Colleen! I missed you so much! I was so lonely and you had deserted me to go to France. Do you know how boring it was back in the Burrow?" Ginny said with her arm around her best friend.

Still in deep conversation, the two girls entered the carriage and the other six girls in the carriage emitted more screams and greetings.

It was quiet and still in the Slytherin carriage, quite a contrast to the others. But this could only be expected of the cold and silent Slytherins. Draco Malfoy looked at Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle and Tyson Remada.

The six in the carriage were all Slytherins who knew Draco.

Pansy was like a leech. She attached herself to Draco, latching herself onto his arm until he either pushed her away or until he snogged her senseless. Many of the other students in Hogwarts considered them a couple even though Draco had dumped her years before. Even with all the warnings and one-sided discussions with Draco, Pansy still thought him as her own. If only she knew how he really felt about her.

Blaise Zabini, also one of Draco's ex-girlfriends was now a very close friend of his. She was pretty, unlike Pansy with her long, wavy raven hair and smooth features. She and Draco had gone out for 2 weeks before she realized that it would never work between them and hurriedly broke up with him. After the break-up, they talked often and became friends. Blaise was someone Draco could confide his feelings to without being worried that they would get out.

Crabbe and Goyle were basically huge lumps of meat with no brains. They were shaped like apes but had the brain of chickens. Draco only had them around as bodyguards to scare off people. But in truth, the sight of them disgusted Draco.

Tyson Remada, a pureblood who joined Hogwarts last year quickly became a friend with Draco. He was good-looking in a suave sort of way, with his dark hair and charming eyes. Even though he was tall, he was still a few centimetres shorter than Draco. Tyson was without a doubt one of the best looking guys in Hogwarts and girls always swooned over him. But he was not only blessed with good looks but also had the wit and intelligence that could match Draco's.

When he first met him, Draco was not quite happy but slowly, he got to know Tyson better. Tyson was quick to learn and was not impressed with all the attention he got from girls. He quickly rejected all of them and was only attracted to Blaise Zabini. The two had gotten together soon after Draco and Blaise had broken up and even though Draco didn't show it, he was happy for them. They made a great couple.

After these thoughts had gone through his head, Draco picked up his book and resumed reading. The carriage was full of people but empty of sound.

Breaking the awkward silence, Pansy sashayed her way to sit next to Draco Malfoy. With a smile that she thought seductive (though it was just plain dumb) she spoke in a sickly sweet voice.

"Draco honey, put that book down and talk to me, you know I can make you happy." She cooed.

Without looking up from his book, Draco sneered, "The only reason that I would want to talk to you or even look at your ugly face again is so that I can tell you to back off and leave me alone."

There was silence throughout the whole cabin when the others turned to look at the couple. When Draco did not continue, Pansy thought she had won.

Her victory smile was wiped off her face when he looked up at her and glared at her, straight in the eyes.

Unable to hold his stony gaze, Pansy's eyes dropped to the ground and suddenly she became very interested in her shoes.

"Back off Parkinson, and I hope I won't have to say it again." Draco turned back and to continue reading his book.

With a quick huff, Pansy picked up her bag and left the carriage with her head up and her back straight. But anyone could tell that she was just about ready to cry.

Just after the door had slammed shut, Draco burst out in laughter. All heads swiveled to stare at him. This was very un-Malfoy like, but Draco couldn't help himself. He was filled with laughter every single time Pansy had supposedly walked on him but he always managed to control himself. This time he could not hold it in any longer.

The other four students were still looking at him, but with different looks.

Blaise looked at him with understanding in her eyes. She had known how annoying Pansy was, they were in a dorm together.

Crabbe and Goyle both looked at their leader with amazement in their eyes. They had known Draco to be a silent person who never let out his emotions, like all Malfoys.

Tyson however, looked at Draco with amusement. Not long after Draco had started laughing, he let forth his own laughter.

Soon, the others joined in, laughing hysterically and trying to breathe. The change of moods was abrupt and not altogether unpleasant.

Back in the other carriage, Ginny Weasley looked at each of the other seven girls. Two girls besides Colleen and herself were from Gryffindor, while from the three left, two were Ravenclaw and one was Hufflepuff. Ginny didn't know each of the other girls besides Colleen very well, but were on good enough terms with them.

The girls were having a discussion on who the cutest guys were in the school or who was the best kisser and so on and so forth. Basically, the girls were having their fun and daily girl talk. Right now Lana from Ravenclaw was talking about the resident bad boys and dream boys of Hogwarts.

Ginny was not surprised when three names came up repeatedly. They were Harry, (of course), Malfoy and Tyson Remada.

All the girls knew Remada was already taken and some of them were swooning over their lost love, while Reina from Gryffindor spoke in a dreamy voice about the charms of Draco Malfoy, while Ginny tried not to gag.

Draco Malfoy? Who would want to be with him? But these thoughts disappeared when she realized that now all the girls were talking about the sliver-eyed ferret.

Ginny had no idea that Draco was that popular. Was there something wrong with her?

But she almost jumped out of her chair when she heard Colleen say in the same dreamy voice, "Too bad Draco's a Slytherin, I wouldn't mind him being my boyfriend."

Oh my god! Am I the only one that is not obsessed with that smooth-talking git? Thoughts similar to those ran through her head as she thought about the times where Draco had insulted and embarrassed her and her family in front of the whole school. But suddenly new thoughts entered her head.

"What is the real Draco Malfoy like? He is cute, probably even a great kisser. What would we be like together?" she asked herself, full of curiosity.
