Chapter 5: Body Language

Ginny opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling. The events of last night flew back into her head and she groaned. She just knew that Draco was lying and that he was going to tell the whole school. Her plans would be ruined then. After laying in her bed for a couple of minutes she sighed and climbed out. Ginny walked over to her wardrobe and grabbed some clothes and started her way to the bathrooms. Ginny quickly got ready for the day and made her way to breakfast.

Ginny walked into the Great Hall and glanced quickly around. No one was looking at her like she was evil so she continued her way into the Great Hall. Ginny walked over and sat between Collin and Ron. She started to pile her plate with food and slowly ate it. Collin was glancing uneasily at her during the whole meal but didn't say anything. Ron just glared at her as he turned his back on her. That was fine with Ginny anyway she needed time to think.

Ginny glanced over at the Slytherin table trying to catch Draco's eye. Draco however was very careful to not look at her. After finishing her breakfast, Ginny got up and wandered out of the common room, taking careful note of where the different kids were sitting.

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

Draco had sat at breakfast and laughed. This whole school was fooled by this one girl and only he knew the truth. Only he knew who she really was. He watched her as she walked into the Great Hall, she looked worried. Draco was talking animatedly with Blaise all the while watching Ginny. He could tell she was lost in thought, then as if something snapped she looked up. Draco quickly looked at Blaise laughing at some funny thing he had just said. He could fell her eyes on him and he knew that catching her glance wouldn't be a good idea.

He glanced back over to where she was sitting and found that she had moved. He saw a flash of her hair as she walked out of the door. Draco turned back to his conversation with Blaise and pretended to be enthralled in it.

"Hey babe." Pansy said walking up to Draco and sitting across the table from him. Draco didn't respond.

"Babe." Pansy said again.

"I'm not your babe." Draco said harshly.

"But.." Pansy said quietly.

"It was one night a couple of days ago." Draco said getting up. "It was fun. Maybe we can do it again sometime." Draco walked away from the table not glancing back at Pansy. That was fun, the look on her face was unforgettable. He could understand why screwing with Harry's head was so much fun for Ginny. He walked quickly out of the Great Hall making his way to his first class of the day.

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

Ginny took her normal seat beside Collin in potions.

"How's it going?" Ginny asked him giving him a big smile.

"Like you care." Collin replied angrily.

"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked him, an expression of hurt on her face.

"You pretend that you like me and then you make out with Harry." Collin hissed at her angrily.

"He kissed me." Ginny responded. "Plus we were never dating, or anything."

"But-" Collin started to say.

"There are no buts. You never made a move. You never told me you had feelings for me." Ginny started faking anger. "What am I suppose to do? Sit around till you decide whether you are going to let me know whether you like me or not. I'm sorry but I have a life. I'm a girl and I have needs. I am so sorry if I hurt your feelings. However I don't owe you anything." With that said Ginny got up and moved to another table.

Ginny glanced at Collin and noticed that he looked really upset. Ginny turned away from him smiling to herself. Ginny didn't do too well in potions that day. Her concentration was on other things. However she made it through and was able to make the potion successfully. Ginny hurried out of the dungeon trying to make sure that Collin wouldn't try and talk to her.

Ginny had a free period so she made her way out of the castle and to the alcove she had found. She crawled in, noticing that in the day it glowed green from the light shining through the ivy. Ginny settled against the wall and pulled out her diary. She was contemplating not writing in it anymore. What if someone else found it? One person already knew her secret, what if more found out? Ginny flipped through the book, reading little snippets here and there.

She sighed as she shut her book. Would it really be that bad if people knew the real her? "Yes." she said to herself. "It would be bad, very, very bad." Ginny opened up her book and flipped to a clean page.

Dear Diary,

Draco read you yesterday. Apparently I intrigue him. Apparently he thinks we should team up. I agreed for the time being anyway. I don't know, it was just so weird. He turned the book into a snake like I told him too, but he wouldn't turn it back into a book. I lost my cool and threw you at him. I didn't realize at the time I was throwing you, I thought it was a different book. Then he read you, out loud. I wanted to claw his eyes out. I wanted to kick him in the crotch so hard that he would never have kids. I couldn't move, he had cast some stupid spell on my that he had probably learned in Defense against the Dark Arts and read my diary aloud!

Then he started asking me questions, I wouldn't answer him. That ass. He read my diary and expected me to tell him all about it. When he finally took that stupid spell off of him I wanted to punch him. I tried to punch him, he grabbed my wrist before I got a chance to. Then of all things he kissed me! He kissed me! What the hell was he thinking? The feeling to punch him came back, but at the same time... He was a good kisser. A lot better than Harry and Dean and Michael. In fact he was a lot better than any guy I had ever kissed before. I will not ever tell him that though. Stupid Prat.

He said I think like him. How do I think like him? I never would have thought that we think alike. I have to stop focusing on him.

Ginny slammed her book shut and quickly crawled out of the alcove. For some reason she was angry now. She didn't know why she was just angry. He had read her diary and she wasn't mad at him for it. And because of it she was mad at herself.

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

It was late at night and once again Draco couldn't sleep. He left his room and wandered outside of the castle. He had too many thoughts flowing through his head to relax. Draco wandered to where he first saw Ginny in the middle of the night and sat on the bench. His thoughts flowed to the previous night. He hadn't expected to read what he had in Ginny's diary. He had expected a lot of babbling about cute guys and entries filled with rumors. He hadn't expected for Ginny to have so much hidden from the world. She was fooling everyone, even him. Draco was shocked that something so huge could get past so many people. The most amazing thing was that she had fooled everyone on her own. She could manipulate everyone around her and not even worry about who she hurt. Draco was truly in awe. He wasn't that good at manipulating people and here was this little Weasley girl and she had everyone fooled. He was truly impressed.

Draco leaned his head against the wall and closed his eyes. He had finally found someone who thought like he did. He had hoped that someone would come to his school and they would think a like and have the same opinion but it hadn't happened. And then there was Ginny and she thought like him. Sister of one of his least favorite people and she understood him. And he had kissed her. He didn't know why but he had kissed her. He wanted to make sure she knew he was the one in control, however he felt like that wasn't totally the truth and that she probably knew that also.

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

Ginny climbed into bed and sighed. Collin had been trying to apologize to her all day. She could have just told him the truth, she thought he was scum. Scum who she wouldn't date if he were the last person on earth. She didn't instead once again she turned it around on him, made him feel bad for what she had done. It was really her own fault that she had to continue to deal with him. She could have just kicked him to the curb and pissed him off so severely that he wouldn't ever talk to her again. Why did she feel the need to keep him wrapped around her finger? Why did she feel like she had to control everyone around her? Ginny pondered all this as she drifted off to sleep.

Ginny rolled onto her back and yawned. It wasn't morning yet. Why did she wake up? Ginny glanced at the clock on her table 12:55. She sat up and groaned. "Might as well go for a walk." Ginny mumbled as she grabbed her cloak and wrapped it around her. She quickly made her way out of the castle and started towards the Great Lake. She sat down, leaning against a tree and looked at the lake. She always wondered what creatures lived in there. She had heard plenty of rumors but she wanted to know for sure. She hated not knowing something. She often thought about going for a swim but she isn't a big swimmer or even a big fan of being out in the sun.

Ginny picked up some pebbles and started tossing them one by one in the lake, after a couple of seconds they got tossed back to her. Ginny tossed more pebbles in the lake before she got up and left. She wished she had brought her diary with her, she wanted to write but she didn't feel like going back up to her room to go get it. Ginny started to wander to her alcove. On her way she passed her bench and noticed that some one was sitting on it.

Ginny walked closer, being careful to stay out of sight in case it was Filch. She got close enough and started to talk towards the bench, it was Draco. What was he doing? Ginny walked over and shook him in the shoulder.

"Wake up."

Draco awoke with a start. "What?"

"You fell asleep." Ginny said crossing her arms over her chest. "What are you doing out here?"

"Insomnia." Draco replied yawning. "What about you?"

"I just woke up and decided to go for a walk." Ginny replied. "I think I will continue on it now."

Ginny continued on to her alcove not bothering to talk to Draco anymore. Draco however wasn't done talking to her and followed her. He was still half asleep when Ginny crawled into the alcove and for a minute he thought she had crawled through the wall. Draco followed after her.

"What are you doing?" Ginny asked glaring at him.

"I wanted to talk." Draco told her leaning against one of the walls.

"It's like 1:30 in the morning. What do you want to talk about?" Ginny asked him exasperated.

"Why are you afraid of snakes?" Draco asked her.

"That can't be what you really want to talk about." Ginny said stretching her legs out in front of her and leaning against the wall opposite Draco.

"It's one of the questions I had." Draco replied.

"When I was little Fred and George turned my favorite doll into a big red snake. It bit me." Ginny replied. "Mom flew off the handle. I thought she was going to murder them. It would have saved us all a lot of trouble if she had."

"Because of that you are scared of snakes?" Draco asked laughing. "That is the stupidest thing ever."

"You're scared of the forbidden forest." Ginny pointed out.

"I am not." Draco replied his laughter dying down.

"Yes you are." Ginny replied. "Everyone knows it."

"Well they are wrong." Draco replied angrily.

"Oh so you can dish it but you can't take it." Ginny asked him laughing.

"Haha." Draco replied sarcastically.

"Why are you afraid of the Forbidden Forest?" Ginny asked him.

"Because they have beasts that eat people." Draco replied. "I'd rather not be eaten."

"Why don't you just use that wonderful little spell you used on me last night." Ginny replied bitterly. "Make it so they can't move."

"That only works on people if they let it." Draco replied.

"Are you implying that I wanted to sit there while you read my diary aloud?" Ginny asked him snottily.

"I'm implying that you wanted someone to know, so when you had a chance to let it out, you didn't try your hardest to conceal you little secret." Draco replied.

"Little secret?" Ginny replied.

"Ok very big secret." Draco relented.

"That's what I thought." Ginny replied wrapping her cloak around her tighter. "Anymore questions for me? Or are you done talking?"

"Actually I was wondering how you ended up in Gryffindor house. Everything about you screams that you should be a Slytherin. How did you fool the sorting hat?" he asked her.

"I didn't fool the hat." Ginny replied. "I use to believe in equal rights for everyone and no witch is better than the next."

Draco looked at her in shock.

"Things change." Ginny said noticing his face. "I was young and stupid."

"What changed?"

"I met Tom, I told you that." Ginny said rolling her eyes. "Why do you care anyway?"

"If I'm going to trust you then I have to know why you believe what you do." Draco replied rolling his eyes back at her.

"Isn't trust kind of a silly thing to talk about." Ginny said. "If you think about it there isn't really trust. "

"True, unless you know you are being controlled. Then you are trusting the person not to steer you wrong." Draco replied. "So are you controlling me, or am I controlling you?"

"I'm controlling you." Ginny replied. "I know you better than you know me."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Draco asked her.

"The fact that you even have to ask makes me question your intelligence." Ginny said harshly. "You can't really control someone you don't know about. You have to know what makes them tick so that you know what buttons to push."

Draco didn't say anything instead he just glared at Ginny.

"Did I hurt you feelings?" Ginny asked her voice laced with mock concern. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Ginny laughed.

Draco didn't respond.

"Why did you kiss me last night?" Ginny asked him taking his silence as a chance to question him.

"You looked like you needed a good snog." Draco replied smugly.

"You're lying." Ginny replied. "You were shocked by what you had done. It was written all over your face."

"No I was shocked at your kissing skills." Draco replied.

"You are still lying." Ginny replied. "You should learn not to lie to people when they know you are lying. IT doesn't help you any."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Draco replied.

"When you lie, your nostrils flair slightly. Your left eyebrow twitches and you play with your robes." Ginny said pointing at his hands which were playing with the buttons on his robe.

Draco quickly moved his hands away from his robes. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"You can't fool me, I can read you like a book." Ginny replied. "When you are mad your eyes flash, and your left hand clenches and unclenches. Your lip curls slightly and your ears turn pinkish. When you are happy your eyes get wider and you purse your lips, as if trying not to smile."

Ginny stopped talking and smiled triumphantly at him.

"When you are mad your cheeks flush and your eyes narrow, you lift your right eyebrow and you give people this look like they are an idiot. When you are bored you twirl your hair around your fingers and your eyes get wide. When you lie you smile like you could never do anything wrong, and you bat your eyelashes." Draco said crossing his arms over his chest and looking smugly back at Ginny. "You aren't the only one who pays attention."

"So you admit you are lying. So tell me, why did you kiss me?" Ginny asked him again.

"Because I wanted to." Draco replied. "And I always get what I want."

"Why did you want to?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know."

"If you don't know why you did it, how do you know you really wanted to?" She asked him.

"I know I wanted to because I know myself." Draco replied.

"You want to know what I think?" Ginny asked him.

Draco nodded.

"I think you kissed me because you are attracted to me." Ginny replied. "Are you attracted to me Draco?"

"Why would I be attracted to you?" Draco asked her snottily.

"You tell me." Ginny replied. "Why did you insist on talking to me tonight? Why did you insist on following me into this little alcove?"

Draco didn't answer her. He didn't know what to say. He never thought about the possibility of liking a Weasley. He looked up at Ginny. She was sitting there smirking at him and that infuriated him.

"You're mad." Ginny said looking at him. "Your eyes are flashing, you lip is curled, and you fist is clenched in a moment you are going to unclench it."

Ginny stopped talking and watched Draco.

"Are you counting to ten now?" Ginny asked him as Draco visibly relaxed. "It would probably be a better idea then punching me, which I know you were thinking about doing."

"You have no clue what I was thinking of doing." Draco told her.

"What were you thinking of doing then?" Ginny asked him her calm infuriating him even more.

Draco didn't answer her, instead he lunged at her, kissing her. Ginny had expected that and she grabbed his shoulders and pushed him against the back wall still kissing him..

"Good night Draco." she said as she pulled away from him and scrambled out of the alcove. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Ginny walked away from the alcove and made her up to the Gryffindor tower. He played right into her hand. She knew exactly what buttons to push to get the reactions she wanted. She knew how to make him mad, nervous, whatever she wanted him to feel she could make it happen. Ginny made her way up to her dorm and crawled into her bed.

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

Draco leaned his head against the back wall of the alcove. He was wondering what just happened. Why did he feel like he had just played into Ginny's hands. Most girls would have been one of two things. Excited that he was kissing them or scared that he had just lunged at them. But Ginny, Ginny was just cool. She had just pushed him against the wall and left. He hadn't been expecting that. He had wanted her to be mad at him. But no she just left. As hard as he tried his couldn't predict what she was going to do, and she seemed to know exactly what he was going to do.
