Chapter Six: Pointless But Fun/Cute Stuff
After Ginny and Draco got back from Diagon Alley, they immediately went up to the Owlery to make Ilana more comfortable.
When they reached their rooms, they each took a chair near the fire and let their new kittens out to play.
"Draco, I don't think that we should each have 'one'. I think that they should both be ours. You know what I mean?" Ginny stated.
"I agree with you." Replied Draco. "Now, what shall we name them?"
"Well, I personally think Melaney suits the white one perfectly. But what about the chocolate one? What should her name be?"
"I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Meredith." Said Draco.
"That is perfect. Draco... Don't get scared." Ginny laughed, right when she said that, Draco got this horribly petrified look on his face. "No, really, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to let you know how much this means to me. It's like we're starting our own family already."
Draco's face immediately relaxed. "You should have just said that. I was thinking the same exact thing. You had me thinking that you didn't want to be together anymore."
"Of all the things to think!" Said Ginny. She wasn't particularly mad, just kind of annoyed. "I can't believe that you thought that I would think of something so bizarre." She then shook her head, grabbed Meredith, and bent over to give Draco a kiss goodnight and Melaney a pat (she had herself curled up in Draco's lap) goodnight.
September 1
Ginny woke up on the first day of school feeling refreshed, then horrified. She couldn't figure out what was sleeping on her chest. As yesterday's events slowly registered, she realized that it was her new kitty, Meredith. Ginny looked over at the clock and realized she still had another two hours until her first class, so she reached up and started to pet her new... pet. After about fifteen minutes of Meredith's purring, Ginny got up and went through her morning ritual and wondering what Draco was doing...
Draco got up around the same time as Ginny and had almost the exact same reaction as Ginny had. Melaney, his new cat, was sleeping on his pillow, right next to his head. Draco reached around and picked Melaney up, placing her on his chest and proceeded to pet her. An hour and a half later, Ginny came bounding into the room, Meredith right on her heels.
"Ginny, what in the name of the Goddess is wrong? Is somebody after you?" Draco sat up and shouted, causing Melaney to hiss and run away.
Ginny started to laugh and jumped on Draco's bed. "Nothing is wrong! I'm just really happy 'cause today is when the rest of the school comes in. I'm so excited for the Sorting, I just love to watch the hat sing it's new song and then call out all the house names. I can't wait to see Colin again, don't worry Blondie, he's gay. And I also can't wait for my classes because I love a challenge and it'll be great to be in seventh year classes!"
"Red. Red! Okay, calm down, stop jumping on the bed. Now, I'm not going to ask you to repeat every word you said; I heard most of it by chance. But love, next time you get really excited about something that going to happen, why don't you tell me calmly and then jump around, or vice versa. Okay?"
"Sorry Draco, I'm just so happy!"
"And I can understand that. But right now, why don't you go into the common room and play with the kittens while I get dressed, all right?"
Ginny gave Draco a kiss on the cheek and skipped out of the room. Draco simply watched Ginny walk...er, skip out the door and shook his head, gently laughing to himself.
When Draco walked into the common room, he found Ginny in the middle of the room on her hands and knees, the kittens in front of her. Ginny was putting her hair in their way and Melaney and Meredith were swapping at it with their paws.
"Virginia," Draco said with a sigh, "why don't we go down and eat breakfast, okay?"
Ginny turned around and smiled at him. She came over, grabbed his hand, and they walked down to the Great Hall together.
A/N: Okay, so there is no reason for me not to have updated. Actually, there is, but it's pretty lame. I just didn't know where to go with it. I'm going to try and work on it when I have time. I am really sorry for not updating sooner though. Enjoy! And don't forget to review!! Also, I've decided that there will be no Voldemort in this story. There will be some mention of him, but I'm not even going to try to write a battle or anything in here. It's going to be the same with Quidditch. I just don't think I'd be able to write a good match. This is mainly just fun fluff... until the end....
