Chapter Eight…
Ginny gave out a soft moan as she felt a soft breeze on her head, making her hair scatter away from her face. She stretched a bit letting out a content sigh, curling up against her big pillow. Suddenly, her eyes flashed open, her room had no windows… And there was a man's chest right in front of her, with his arms draped over her body, she felt herself flush, her brain yelling at her to do what she did best in the morning, scream.
Draco startled by the piercing scream, jumped off the bed, bringing Ginny with him. Apparently, their legs were tangled. [AN snickers] Draco landed on the ground with a 'thump,' Ginny landed on Draco with an 'umph,' their lips centimeters away. Feeling her arms weaken, her eyes widen as her lips tumbling down on Draco's. As soon as she got her arms to work she rolled off him. There was an awkward silence.
Ginny's heart was pounding like crazy. HOW could she let herself do that AGAIN?! Finally regaining her former self she looked over at Draco who just cocked an eyebrow. Slowly both of their heads turned towards Ginny's bed, then they turned back at each other. Within seconds, they were both scrambling up trying to get into the bed. Draco won. Ginny growled.
"Malfoy, get out of my bed," She commanded with her hands on her hips looking at Draco who was snuggling himself against the warm blankets and pillow.
"No," He replied closing his eyes
"This is MY bed! Why don't you sleep in your own?!" She yelled
"That's not what you said yesterday," He mumbled
Ginny flushed.
"Malfoy…" Ginny whined acting like a little kid
-silence-
"Malfoy?" Ginny called out again
Still no answer… She looked down at Draco closely, realizing he was asleep. Ginny let out a sigh.
"Fine, you can sleep here, but by the time I come back you better be out." She murmured leaving a smirking Malfoy.
--------------------
"Ahh…" Ginny moaned as she slipped into her half-filled tub of water. She then grabbed her bubble bath solution and poured it in along with the running water…
She closed her eyes telling herself that she would turn off the water in a few minutes…
--------------------43 minutes later…
Draco finally woke up. He sat up on the bed, stretching a bit before he got up. Nature was calling.
--------------------In Ginny's Dream [Gin's POV]
One last stitch and it was complete. I had finally finished the suit. I looked at it … It was perfect.
"I can't wait 'til I give this to Tom! Then I can finally say I love him…" I squealed with delight putting a non-wrinkling charm on it. I heard Draco mumble something.
"Draco, did you say something?" I asked turning around to look at him
"No." He replied back looking as innocent as he possibly could…
I stared at him a bit longer then turned back to the suit.
"This suit is the first design I made with MY name on it. That's why it's so special… " I explained to Draco, "Sure, I made plenty of clothes for Tom and others for gifts, but I never put my signature on it."
"I'm sure he'll love it." Draco replied handing me the box
"Thanks." I said smiling at him brightly
I folded the suit carefully and placed it in a box. On top of the lid I carefully wrote,
TO: Tom
FROM: Gin
I nodded in approval. Now, all I need to do is give this to him and tell him and I am in love with him. I let out a stifle cry. That was going to be the hardest part.
"Just make sure you give it to the right person, Ginevera." Draco said, "We wouldn't want the same thing to happen last time, do we?"
I pouted…
"WEASLEY!!" Draco yelled
I looked at Draco. He was just looking in my room…
"WEASLEY!!" I heard him yell again
"Did you say anything?"
"No." He answered
"WEASLEY!!!!"
This time I was looking at him but his mouth wasn't moving…
"GINNY WEASLEY!!"
My eyes flashed open. That was a dream… And I am in the bathroom in a tub full of water, I looked toward the door, and there stood Draco looking at the ground.
"Weasley! Catch!" He called out throwing me a towel
I caught it easily. Then finally realized that I was naked… I felt my face heat up. I quickly got up from the bath and wrapped myself. Then noticed that the water was still running… Dear Merlin… I looked at the floor and saw it had at least drowned most of the bathroom and hallway… I squealed and turned off the water.
"That took about 2 minutes for you to realize what happened." Draco commented. Then mumbled a spell to wipe everything dry.
"Thanks…" I murmured ignoring his rude comment
Draco just waved it off and walked off.
I let out a sigh. Why was it that I do all the stupidest things in front of him? Never have I been so clumsy, slow and stupid all my life. Well, after my first two years of my infatuation of Harry… But after that I haven't been that clumsy until now… ARGH I walked into my room and saw Draco in my bed… Again…
"MALFOY!! GET OUT OF MY BED!!" I yelled clenching onto the towel that was barely covering me
"Gee, Weasley… I save your house and all I get is a shout?"
"I swear Malfoy… I need to change… And you being here is not helping…"
Draco looked at me up and down. I felt myself blush.
"I'm leaving…" He finally said getting up from the bed, "There's nothing to see anyway…"
I glared at him… After he left, I looked at myself, of course with my towel, I never felt comfortable just naked… I knew I was lanky, and too tall… Curse the stupid Weasley hair… Maybe if I was just pretty… Then maybe Tom would have taken notice of me… I quickly changed into some jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. I dried my hair and then went toward the kitchen to find Draco eating… What he was eating, I wasn't sure... I grabbed a bottle of apple juice and walked over to the table…
"Malfoy…" I called out… I needed him to be my model for half an hour. He and Tom were about the same size and I needed his body to get the measurements of Tom. That sounded really wrong… I need his body?? Yeah… Really wrong…
"Weasley…" He acknowledged
"I wanted to thank you for that bathroom incident thing…" I said trying to get the conversation started
"Yeah… Pretty stupid of you…"
"You were the one who stole my bed…"
"You're the one who wouldn't let me sleep last night… All the crying…" He snapped back
I bit my lip.
"Sorry about that too… And thanks for comforting me yesterday…"
He nodded his head and continued to eat
"Umm… Malfoy?"
"What?"
"Could you.. Um.. Help me again?" I asked shyly
"What?" He asked cautiously
"Um.. Well, its about Tom."
"What about?"
"Um, you know who Luna's all over him… And I really need to tell him, before its too late…"
"And?"
"Could you… Um…" I started, then taking a deep breath, "Could you model for me?"
"Model?"
"Yeah, you and Tom are practically the same height, weight… Probably waist size… And I need measurements of Tom, which I can't get unless I get them from you…"
"Not to mention, I can get the measurements for you robe too…" I told myself … Well… I told him but not aloud… So I really didn't tell myself… But I really didn't tell him either because he couldn't hear it… So then how would I say that? Argh.. I'm just confusing myself again… I looked at Malfoy and he looked at me weird, then cleared his throat and asked,
"Didn't you make him clothes already?"
"Yeah, but that was for robes, this is going to be like based off of a muggle suit… Please?!!" I pleaded with my best puppy eyes…
"Ugh, alright…"
"YAY!! Thank you SOO MUCH!!"
"You owe me now, Weasley…"
"Of course of course…" I waved off leading him into my room… That sounds really wrong… Again…
---------------Tom and Luna
"TOM!!" Luna called out…
Tom did his best not to wince. But her voice was extremely high… Then again she was pretty to look at so he forgave her for her little flaw, and besides that… She was pretty, nice, had pretty legs, kind, sexy, and generous. Plus she was a good friend with Ginny.
"Hey Luna…" He greeted looking up from his desk
"You look tired…" She commented
"Didn't get much sleep last night" He replied putting on a forced smile, "I'm alright though."
But he really wasn't. He was still frustrated about what happened between him and Gin last night. And he couldn't help but to stop and think about everything that had happened…
"Tom?"
"Huh? Oh sorry…"
"Its okay… You must be really tired… Do you want to go out for a coffee break? The drinks on me…" Luna offered
"Sure…" He replied standing up from his desk. He grabbed the cloak. Ginny had made this cloak for him… He sighed
"Is something the matter?"
"Oh, no… Come on… I can't wait for that coffee…"
Luna giggled as she took the arm Tom had offered.
"Just a few more little engagements like these and I'll have him in the palms of my hands…" Luna told herself with an evil glint in her eye, thankfully for her, Tom was too occupied thinking about Ginny to notice.
They walked toward the Ministry's café and sat down in one of the booths. Luna ordered coffees for the both of them, and then she noticed the Quibbler, her father's paper, which stated that it could tell you who you wanted to marry and more… She then brought it to the counter and paid for that, too.
"Tom, here's your coffee…" Luna said handing him the coffee
"Thanks." He replied accepting the cup.
"Tom, I know this may sound silly but do you want to do a little quiz out of the magazine?" Luna asked
"Sure…" He replied sipping the coffee
"Okay, lets start with the first question." She said as she took out her pen, "Whom do you find most attractive?"
Tom looked at her, "Britney Spears."
Luna gave Tom a questioning look, "Britney Spears? As in the muggle slut singer?"
"She's not a slut. And yes her…"
"Okay…" She replied a bit disgusted, then again, all the boys did think that she was hot… She wrote down Tom's answer
"Okay, whom do you hang out the most with of the opposite gender?"
Tom sipped his coffee. Who did he hang out most with? Ginny.
"Ginny…"
Luna wrote down Ginny's name. Of course he would hang out the most with Ginny; she was his best friend…
"Whom do you feel most comfortable with?"
Once again, Tom thought about it… And it was Ginny, he didn't need to worry about how he looked like, how he acted, she didn't care…
"Ginny…"
Luna looked at Tom… She pursed her lips a bit and wrote down Ginny's name.
"Last one, if you were forced to marry, who would you get married to?"
Tom choked on his coffee…
"Marry?"
"Yeah…"
"Um… Britney Spears?"
"Come on, really… Do you think Britney Spears is actually going to marry you?"
"Let me think…"
Tom stared into the brown liquid… Who do you think would marry you no matter what? Or who would you not mind spending the rest of your life with? Who's kind? Understanding? Really doesn't care what kind of mistakes you make, as long as you fix them? Then he realized who it was…
"Ginny" he whispered
"Who?" Luna asked
"Ginny."
Luna looked up and saw Tom look a bit lost…
"Okay, well here are the results:
1. Whom do you find most attractive? Britney Spears
This person is your fantasy… Bleh, Tom, that's gross… I mean, yeah she's kinda pretty, but don't you think you could do a bit better in your imagination department? Anyways…
2. Whom do you hang out the most with of the opposite gender? Ginny
This person is your best friend. Hey! That's true! –Tom interruptedfake glare from Luna to Tom
3. Whom do you feel most comfortable with? Ginny
This person is the type of person you should marry. Weird, the most person comfortable person for me is Colin… Hmm…
Tom:: Luna?? What does the last one mean?
Oh, sorry, okay last one…
4. If you were forced to marry in a life or death situation, whom would you get married to? Ginny
This person is the person you are in love with…"
Tom looked a bit stunned… Ginny? His love? But… She was his best friend, how could he be in love with his best friend?
"Tom? Wasn't that stupid? This stuff really is rubbish… I don't get why my dad prints these kind of false tests…" Luna started rambling
"Me? Ginny?" He mumbled to himself…
"Tom?"
"Huh?"
"Are you alright?"
Tom nodded his head… Me and Ginny? I am in love with Ginny? This stuff must really be rubbish… I mean… Me and Ginny? I don't think so… Then again… Then why do I always seek Ginny's approval for my girlfriend? Why do I always come to her for my problems and favors?
"Tom? Do you want to go out tonight? You know, a little dinner, maybe a bar… Just to you know, hang out?" Luna asked
"Uh… I'm not sure…"
"Oh…"
Tom looked up at Luna and then back down… Then up again…
"Luna?"
"Yes?"
"I have this friend, and she's really attractive and goes out from time to time but she always wants her best friend's approval of her new boyfriend. And if the boyfriend did anything bad to her best friend, she would immediately break up with him. And if her best friend didn't approve of her boyfriend, she would break up with him… Does that mean she's in love with her best friend?" Tom asked
"Hmm… Pretty much yeah.. .Why?"
Tom's eyes grew wide…
"I'm in love with Ginny?" He asked himself out loud
Luna choked on her drink, "WHAT?!"
"I… Dear Merlin, I really am… Why was I so blind all this time??" Tom asked himself as he got up absently from the table
"Tom?"
"I have to go tell her!" Tom said clutching onto Luna's arm…
"Tom…. What about work? You can't just go right now!"
"You can cover for me right?"
"I.. I…"
"Thanks!" He said and ran out of the café and into the nearest floo station… He was going to Ginny's.
-----------------------------Ginny's apartment Still Tom's POV kind of thing
Tom landed in Ginny's with a puff. He got out and dusted his clothes; he noticed that the kitchen and living room was empty.
[Maybe she's in her room?] He thought as he walked down the hallway. Then he soon heard muffled sounds from Ginny's room.
"AHH! NO! MALFOY!!" He heard Ginny whine
[Malfoy? As in Draco? He then crept closer to the door…]
"MALFOY GET OUT OF THE BED!!"
Tom's eyes grew wide, the bed? What was Draco doing in Ginny's bed? He soon heard his brother mutter some words… He heard Ginny mutter instructions to Draco… What were they saying?!! This was driving him crazy…
"DRACO MALFOY!! TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!" Ginny yelled
oO??!! Take off his pants?! What… Were they? No.. They couldn't be.. Could they? He heard a bit of running and then soon
"FINE!! I'll take off my damn pants…" Draco replied
After a few moments of silence…
"Ah! That tickles!" Draco yelped
"Odd, you're bigger than Tom… I thought you would be the same size…"
Tom felt like he was going to throw up… What the hell as that supposed to mean? How would Ginny know anyways?! He couldn't take it any longer when he started to hear Ginny giggle… He ran toward the fireplace and floo-ed himself out…
Ginny& Draco
"Malfoy did you hear anything?" Ginny asked stopping her measurements
"No…"
Ginny frowned a bit, "That's odd…"
"Are you going to finish or not?" Malfoy asked
"Wait, I'm almost done…"
Draco fidgeted a bit… SLAP
"OW!!"
"Stop moving around."
"I'm not moving around"
"Yes you are!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Argh… Just stay still… I just need to finish this part…"
Draco gave her a hmph…
"There!"
"Yay!" Draco hoorayed with a monotonous voice
Ginny glared and then told him to get ready for lunch, and that she would be buying…
"More yay's!" Draco said throwing his hands in the air
"Just shut up and get out…" Ginny told him
"Alright… Sheesh, woman you don't need to be so mean…"
"I'm not…"
"Yes you are…"
"No I'm not"
"Yes…"
"No…"
"Yes…"
"No…"
-------------------------------------Tom
Tom trudged toward his office, his eyes blank. Of course, his brother and best friend would get together; they lived with each other…
"Tom?" Luna called out
"Oh.. Luna… The dinner tonight, I'll pick you up at 7." He said monotonously, leaving her in wonder…
