Chapter 14- New Discoveries

Ginny was laying in bed the following morning reviewing the events of the previous night in her head. "I can't believe it finally happened." She thought to herself as she reached over to the place her Dark Mark was on her left arm.

After a couple more minutes Ginny got out of bed, showered and got dressed. She grabbed her wand off of her night stand and headed out of her door to head down to breakfast.

When she was walking away from her door she heard someone calling her name. "Gin, Gin, Wait up." Came the voice of Harry Potter. "I waited for you this morning in the common room. I thought you were going to come down." He asked her when he finally caught up to her.

Ginny sighed. "Sorry, Harry. It must have slipped my mind." She looked over at him as they walked. "What is it that you wanted to talk about?"

"About what happened last night." He stated looking down at her.

"What about it?" She asked calmly.

"Why did you turn me down when I asked you to dance with me?" He asked in a hurt voice.

"Is he for real?" Ginny asked herself then stopped walking to talk to him. "Harry, I have a boyfriend. I didn't want to dance with you." She said smoothly.

"When you were dancing with Pansy you were dancing right beside me. As if you were trying to get my attention." He said flatly.

"Trying to get your attention?" She gave him a weird look. "Why would I do that?" She asked as she put her hands on her hips.

"I thought maybe you were trying to get back at me for ignoring you all those years when you liked me and I just blew you off for Cho." Harry said quickly as if trying to avoid the subject of her liking him.

"Harry, my world does not revolve around you now and frankly it never did." She stated. "I will admit that I have a crush on you for about a year, but I've been over that since the end of my second year."

"So your not doing this whole thing with Draco to get my attention? Because if you are. It is working." He paused for a second. "Ginny, I think I like you."

Ginny eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Wait till I tell Draco." She thought to herself as she tried to keep from laughing. "No, none of this with Draco has anything to do with you. I like him a lot." She paused. "And I'm sorry Harry, but I don't like you that way. I haven't for a long time. Your like a big brother to me and that's it." She lied. In all honesty she was getting to the point where she couldn't stand him anymore.

Harry looked down the floor embarrassed. "Oh well alright." He said before looking down the hallway and spotting Ron and Hermione. "Well I'm going to go now." He said before walking away quickly down the hallway.

"And how is the most beautiful girl in the school doing this morning?" Asked Draco who was standing outside the Great Hall waiting for her.

Ginny pretended to be looking around to see who he was talking to. "Are you talking to me?" She asked sarcastically.

"Who else would I be talking to?" He asked as he walked over to her then gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Ginny just smiled at him. "I had a nice time last night."

"Me too." He responded as he grabbed hold of her hand. "Why don't you sit with me for breakfast today?" He said as he guided her over to the Slytherin table.

"Hello Ginny." Pansy said as she sat down next to her. "I was wondering when you would start joining us for meals. Draco always looks so lost without you." Pansy said to her then looked past her at Draco waved.

"I was growing tired of sitting over there anyway. The only friend I have left over there is Ryan and I'm sure he can deal without me sitting with him every so often." Ginny said to Pansy then turned her attention over to Draco who was glaring at Pansy. "Is that so Draco? Your lost without me?"

Draco looked over at her. "Well I wouldn't say lost, but I am always lonely without you." He responded then squeezed the top of her thigh lightly.

"Get this Draco." Ginny said smirking. "Harry Potter likes me."

Draco's face suddenly went furious. "He what?" He asked madly. "He didn't try anything did he? I'll kill him!"

Ginny laughed. "He told me so this morning, but unfortunately he didn't try anything. So you can't kill him." Ginny teased.

"Damn!" Draco said before he took a gulp of his drink. "What did he say?"

"Well he thought I was only seeing you to make him pay more attention to me. Then he told me it was working and that he likes me." She said grinning. "You should have seen me trying not to laugh in his face."

"That moron thinks the whole world revolves around him." Draco said cooling down. "Well you are one thing he cannot have."

"Draco he could never get me. I'm yours." Ginny said reassuring him.

Draco just nodded his head and tried to change the subject. But before he had a chance a blood curdling scream was heard from the door of the Great Hall. "Ginny!" Came the voice of her over dramatic brother.

Ginny looked over at Draco and whispered. "Here we go again." Right before Ron stopped behind her.

"What are you doing over here with…." He looked around the table at Pansy, Draco, Crabe, Goyle, Blaize and the other Slytherins. "With them."

Ginny turned around and look right up into her brothers eyes. "I'm having breakfast."

"But you are not in Slytherin. You should be sitting over with us." He added angrily.

"Ron, I'm having breakfast with my boyfriend. Is that so hard for you to understand." She sighed. "And no I am not in Slytherin, but he is. There for if I want to eat with him I have to sit here."

Ron shook his head at his sister with disgust. "No sister of mine will be associating and eating with the likes of them." He glared at her. "I saw you last night sitting with her and him." He gestured to Pansy and Blaize who were sitting beside her. "And that thing you did with her to get Harry's attention."

Ginny quickly cut him off. "I was not trying to get scar head's attention. I do not like him!" She said in a raised voice. "I was just dancing with Pansy. Is it so hard to believe that my life does not revolve around you and your little friends?" She asked. "And as far as no sister of yours is going to be sitting with them." She mocked. "Well I guess I'm not your sister anymore then. So get away."

Ron stood there shocked at what Ginny had just said. "How could she disown me?" He thought. "Your not seriously going to disown your own family for them?" He asked with a look of disgust on his face.

"No Ron. Not my whole family, just you." She said then got up and stormed out of the Great Hall.

Draco quickly got up, shoved past Ron and went after her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco searched the hallways for a couple minutes before he finally found her on the 3rd floor just outside the stairs. "You alright?" He asked as he walked over to her.

Ginny looked up and nodded her head. "I'm fine. I'm just very angry at him. Can you believe the nerve of him" She said furiously. "Serves him right not to be able to have me as a sister. He doesn't deserve me."

"I hate to say this, but he doesn't. He treats you like crap." Draco responded and put his arm around her. "You deserve nothing but the best, which is why I got you this." He said as he pulled out a small box. "I was going to give it to you at breakfast, but we were so rudely interrupted by your weasel ex-brother." He grinned.

Ginny excitedly took the box from him and opened it. Inside was a beautiful emerald ring. "Oh Draco, Its magnificent. Thank you so much." She smiled up at him. "How did you know this was my favorite gem?" She asked as she put in on her finger and looked at it. "I love it."

"I remembered you mentioning it once. I saw it two weeks ago at a Hogsmeade jewelry shop and just had to get it for you." He stated before he took her face into his hands and kissed her softly on the lips.

Ginny kissed him back softly and after a couple minutes pulled away and looked into his eyes. "Thank you so much. This is the best gift I have ever received from anyone. It's great."

"Your welcome." He said as he watched her admire the ring.

Ginny looked up at Draco grinning. "I uh, I can't believe you got me this." She said.

"Well like I said. You only deserve the best. But I must be off now. I have a paper to finish. Unfortunately I probably won't get to see you again till tomorrow." He said as he stood up. "Bye Ginny." He then quickly walked away and to the library to finish his paper.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Ginny was laying in bed that night she thought about Draco and the lovely gift he had given her today. Her thought then drifted off to how she felt when he kissed her and how safe he made her feel when he was around her. "God, I think I'm falling in love with him." She thought aloud to herself before closing her eyes and going to sleep.
