Three Months Ago (Part 2)
Chapter 4
As the Hogwarts Express stops at Hogwarts, Ginny still sits at her seat with a frown on her face. She had been thinking about Draco Malfoy...again.
Soon after she and Colleen had left the other carriage with the girls, they had moved to the last carriage with the Dream Team. There, Colleen picked up a book and started to read, while Harry, Ron and Hermione were chatting on about everything. This left Ginny to her thoughts.
She really was intrigued by Draco Malfoy. Once she thought about it, he really is quite handsome, when he's not scowling or smirking...Maybe she should do something about it, catch his attention or something. It wouldn't hurt to find out how good he really is...
Her thoughts were cut short when she heard laughter coming from the Dream Team.
Glancing at Harry, her heart gave a little tinge when she saw his arm around Hermione. She was startled. Her feelings for Harry were supposed to be gone!
"Not again?!" she muttered under her breath.
Unfortunately for her, Hermione had sharp ears with her already very sharp brain and she turned to face Ginny.
"What? Ginny are you okay? You look kind of...flushed," Hermione injected a bit of concern into her voice.
Ginny could feel her temper rising and she tried to keep it in check. By this time, however, her face was as red as her famous Weasley hair.
Biting her lip to keep from snapping at Hermione, Ginny gave a short okay and mumbled something about changing into her robes.
Harry and Ron exchanged glances before deciding that Ginny was old enough and returned to their chat and to start a game of exploding snap.
The last sound Ginny heard was a loud snap as the cards exploded, Ron's loud, "ow!" and Harry and Hermione's hysterical laughter. Clenching her fists and gripping her robes tightly, she stalked to the bathroom.
Surprisingly, Draco had been chosen to be Head boy of the Slytherin house, while, Blaise was the Head Girl. He and Blaise was to have their own rooms which Draco was grateful for.
"No need to bunk with those oafs anymore then," he thought with satisfaction.
Then he noticed that the Hogwarts Express was nearly the stop and stood up, brushing down his expensive clothes, before taking out his school robes and excusing himself to go change.
Just as he closed the door of the carriage shut, he noticed a flash of red hair around the corner. Without pausing to think, he followed.
When he turned the corner, he saw Ginny Weasley holding a bundle of robes under one arm and trying to smooth down her flaming red hair while cursing and muttering under her breath.
She turned again and walked into one of the bathrooms where she slammed the door shut and locked it forcefully.
Draco was surprised to see her in such a rage. It wasn't an uncommon thing to see Ginny angry, as the Weasley temper was well known. But Draco had never noticed just how angry she was and how red her face turned each time.
Unconsciously, he just pulled his robes on, on top of his other clothes, not caring about breaking the rules and he ran his fingers through his sliver-blonde hair that had not been gelled since he took Blaise's advice.
"She is so cute when she's angry," Draco thought and immediately kicked himself for that.
"How can you think she's cute?! She's a Weasley, she's a muggle-lover. She's poor!" He practically yelled at himself.
"She's from Gryffindor! She's...she's beautiful," His mind said to him as Draco saw her emerge from the bathroom.Ginny had managed to smooth most of her hair down and the flush on her face was gone, leaving the smooth pinky white skin.
Still trying to arrange her robes, Ginny did not notice that Draco Malfoy had stood up and she also did not notice that he was in front of her.
With her head down, she walked into him, almost causing him to fall.
Luckily, Draco was able to steady himself and look down into the face of a very surprised Ginny.
Draco immediately said the first thing that came into his mind, "Watch where you're going, Weasley. We don't want to damage that already ragged robes, do we?" He asked with a snarl. Draco regretted it immediately as he saw the hurt in her eyes disappeared and instead a flash shone in Ginny's eyes.
"Why the hell were you standing in front of me, you ferret of a Malfoy!" She yelled back and pushed him away, stalking in front of him and trying so very hard not to run.
Amazed by the outburst, Draco stayed rooted to the ground even a few minutes after she was gone. With a groan, he mentally kicked himself in the head.
"What a way to make a girl know you like her..." Then the other voice in his head, the Malfoy side countered, "Since when did you like a Weasley? You do not like her, it's just how the other guys talked about her."
With a resigned sigh, Draco walked into the bathroom to change into his robes.As Draco was changing, Ginny had gone back to the carriage, fuming with anger.
"Stupid, stupid, STUPID!" she practically shouted at herself.
"How could you EVEN think that Draco Malfoy could change?! He's always been this disgusting git and you dare to think about him in that way? What are, you? Daft? Argh!" Ginny smacked herself on the forehead while raving and ranting.
It took a good five minutes before Ginny could calm down enough to sit down. Anger changed into despair and tears formed in her eyes. Blinking to force them back, she wiped a weak hand across her face.
"Man, Ginny! You're so dumb!" she thought as a solitary tear streaked down her cheek.Ginny was huddled up into a ball, clutching her knees to her face, while more tears flowed down slowly, as if almost reluctant to fall. Draco Malfoy had just stepped out of the bathroom, and as always, looking neat and tidy, with everything in it's perfect place.
Draco stepped out of the bathroom and soothed down his hair. He was wearing the Hogwarts School robes and as he walked, he thoughtfully brushed off non- existent dust from his immaculate robes.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he walked by someone who was sniffling and had their feet up to cover their face. This person, (Draco could tell) must have been trying very hard not to be noticed. But the bright red mop of hair easily identified who she was. Draco snapped his head back in surprise and gasped, shocked to see how much trouble his unmeant insult had caused.
When Ginny looked up to find the source of the disturbance, Draco stealthily moved into the shadows. There he was fully hidden from view but could see her quite clearly.
Ginny wiped away her tears with her sleeve and sniffed. She ran her hair through her fingers to comb out the knots then she stood up and unwrinkled her robes. Once she thought she was in a presentable state, Ginny started walking towards the last carriage, where the Dream Team was.
The door opened and there was Harry, Hermione and Ron, who got up to greet Ginny and to ask her what was wrong. He saw Ginny brush away their concern and reached up to hug her brother and then Hermione. The last glimpse of Ginny that Draco saw was Potter, opening his arms and Ginny falling into his chest, only to start sobbing again. That was before the door slammed shut.A/N: I'm soo sorry! I don't think I can extend the chapter further. It seems so long already. I'll update soon and I want to thank all the people who reviewed and all the people who are going to review!
Lain-Tris: Haha, yeah I guess Draco is out of character but he's supposed to be changed. I'll explain more later. And as for the line, "Oh my god! Am I the only one that is not obsessed with that smooth-talking git?" I had a friend that said it once about this guy and it kind of got stuck in my head. =P And so glad that you're dying for this chapter! It's such a compliment and always, thanks for reviewing!
PatchLover08: Yeah! I had so much fun insulting Pansy! And snogged means kiss, or well that's what I think it means and Draco and Ginny are the cutest couple ever! Really wish J.K Rowling would put them together. It would be a dream come true! And your compliment is the best! I bow down to you!!! Thank you for reviewing!
