Chapter 5

Is he the one?

"Muggles use this plant for cooking however its magical properties, unknown for them of course, reside in the core" said Professor Sprout.

I was lazily taking notes, not very interested on the speech the herbology teacher was giving on garlic. I looked outside the window and saw the Gryffindors and the Slytherins having Care of Magical Creatures. Harry, ( I sighed at his sight) was answering a question Hagrid had probably asked. On the other side I could see a blonde figure trying hard not to laugh: Malfoy

The creep!

Ah, but you had fun with him last night -said a nasty voice inside my head. I had to agree that this was true. I couldn't deny it. He was fun in a cynical way and I kind of liked it, though of course my Harry was also fun but in a sweet way.

I had to admit that he didn't turn out to be the devil that most of my friends and I thought he was. With the "questions" game I had found out that he was quite normal, well not exactly normal but…well you know what I mean.

He had a romantic side and he was so cute when he said he thought I was cute.

I giggled, a bit too hard I guess, because Professor Sprout took 5 points from Gryffindor. humph!!

I had also found out that we had things in common. Our favourite colour was black, we loved pumpkin juice more than anything and we both supported the Appleby Arrows in quidditch..

The bell rang; class had finished. I looked at the seventh years one last time. Harry was waving back at me. I waved back..

"You make a good coupleª said a misty voice behind me. I turned around to find Luna Lovegood with a strange gaze in her eyes

"Thank you Luna" I said as I picked my books.

"But I don't think he's the one" she said sliding her bag over her shoulders

That last comment had hurt me

"What do you mean?"

But what she meant I never got to know because someone had grabbed me by the waist and had spun me around so I could face him.

"Malfoy, what are you doing?"I shrieked

"I have herbology Weasly and you are in my chair" -he drawled- "by the way, hi, how are you doing?

He pulled me closer; so close I could smell him. He smelled great, a mixture of soap and fresh morning air.

"You can have your chair, and by the way, hi, I was fine until you appeared"-I said trying to release myself from his grip.

He laughed.

"Don't deny it Weasley, you've missed me"-he said freeing me from his grasp

"I tried to, but it was too hard"

I turned around and left for Divination. The last thing I saw was the look of amusement Luna had on her face.

………………….

I needed a hug. Where was one's boyfriend when you needed him.

Eating of course, with his two best friends.

As soon as I approached to the table he sensed something was wrong, he stood up and pulled me into the warmth of his arms. Whenever he did that I just wished that time would stop. I felt a wave of relief when I realized he was there form.

"What's wrong?" he whispered in my ear.

"I had a terrible day" I began- "I've got extra-homework in Divination. My Potions essay got a poor. Colin spilled orange juice on my favourite shirt, I can't find my transfiguration book for tomorrow and …"

"Shhh, don't worry, this will make it up to you"

His hand grabbed the tip of my chin and pulled it closer to his mouth. His lips touched mine slowly. As soon as the kiss finished I whispered:

"The world has suddenly turned into a wonderful place"

"Want to make it even a better place?"He said placing a kiss on the tip of my nose-"I'll let you fly my firebolt tonight after quidditch practice.

I giggled. He knew I loved to fly on his broom.

"Sure" I began but remembered something at the sight of a blonde slytherin laughing at someone who had dropped food on his t-shirt " but oh no, wait, I've got detention with Malfoy tonight starting in ten minutes".

Disappointment spread all over Harry's face.: "one more thing to add to your bad day"

"To tell you the truth Harry, it wasn't too bad"-I said taking his hand and leading him into the Entrance Hall

"What do you mean?"

I shrugged

"I had fun"

"I don't get you Ginny, he could hurt you"

I laughed

"He wouldn't be able to kill a fly"

"I don't care about that! He's a Malfoy. He's a slytherin,, He's dangerous" -said Harry. I could see his temper rising. Not a good sign, plus mine was rising too, not a good sign either.

"You are talking like he just came out of Azkaban"-I hissed

I don't know why I was defending Malfoy, somehow I felt Harry was being unfair judging by the family he came from and the fact that he was a slytherin.

"His father tried to kill you"

"But he's not his father"-I replied

"But he could be following his footsteps"-said Harry

"We don't know that yet"

"He's still a slytherin"

"Not all slytherins are bad"

"Yeah, that's right, I forgot that most of them turned to Voldemort's side"

I winced at the name of you-know-who.

"Harry, please, shut up"

"No"-he shouted- "Besides what were you doing with him in the middle of the night that was so much fun"

"That's none of your business".-I could even shout louder than him.

At this point the "overprotective" boyfriend was getting on my nerves

"I'm your boyfriend of course it's my business"-he replied sharply

" You are jealous"

"I am not"

"Don't you trust me?"-I asked

"I trust you. It's him I don't trust"-he answered

"You are being ridiculous"

"I am being ridiculous? Are you even listening at yourself? You are defending Malfoy"

"He's not as bad as he seems"

"If you are going to keep talking about him like that I'm leaving"

"Fine, then leave"- I shouted

"Fine, GOOD BYE ". He turned around and left. I couldn't help but cry. It was our first fight.
