A/N: yes, last chap was very short and I'm making up for that here. grins Oh... and
something I failed to note in the summary... this is my FIRST FIC so forgive me for being so...
inexperienced. Haha... how very "formal". Whatever... hope you enjoy this chappie!
winkOh, and just to warn you, this is quite the "dramatic" chapter so... well... there.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter...although I wish I did...sigh it all belongs to the fab (x a
gazillion) J.K Rowling...and yeah, if I did own Harry potter, Draco& Ginny would be together
forever and ever and ever and ever...
Fine, fine on with the story...
Hey... just to annoy you guys, can I unnecessarily point out that I used this exact same
disclaimer in a previous chappie? LoL... well... I already did. wink
Chapter 6Wednesday, September 17
Dorm
6 AM
How could I have found the time to write in my diary this early?
Well... I'm committed. Oh... okay. I'm just waiting for Parvati to finish with the showers. She
takes ages! Oh and today... I'm going to make sure I get to ask Draco if we... if we're official.
History of Magic classroom
9:45 AM
Damn.
And I finally convinced myself I could survive spending the whole class paying attention to Proff.
Binns. Why does he have to be so boring?!
Ah well... I haven't gotten the chance to talk to Draco yet. He wasn't in the Great Hall during
breakfast. Our next class with Slytherin is Transfiguration at 11 AM till 12 noon but we all know
how strict McGonagall can be. I'll just talk to him during lunch maybe... or during our free
period.
Yeah. That's a good idea.
Okay... now I'm really going o listen to Proff. Binns' lecture about this rune thing... 'Tis boring, I
know but I have to if I want to be on the honor roll.
Me and my responsible self.
Prefects Bathroom
12:35 PM
God... why am I crying over him?
I hate Malfoy!
Why?
Well... we were finally dismissed by McGonagall then before I could talk to him, he was gone.
This was quite a surprise since... since he usually walks me to our next classes or to the great
hall. Anyway, Lavender informed me that he left with this Slytherin girl with waist length straight
brown hair and green eyes and told me which direction they headed. So... so I followed and
heard these voices in a classroom. They failed to shut the door tightly so I was still able to hear
what they were talking about.
Ergh... now there are tear stains! Stupid, stupid Malfoy... dirtying my diary... so anyway, I hid
behind the door to hear what they were talking about.
"Why are you dating that girl? She's a Gryffindor for crying out loud! And a Weasley at that!
Do you know how much this affects your reputation? Sure, some students don't mind, Pansy
doesn't mind... Blaise doesn't mind but all the rest of the Gryffindors and Slytherins do! Surely...
you aren't actually serious about the girl?" A girl's voice frantically hissed.
"Of course not. You know I would never start a serious relationship with a Weasley. I'm just
using her to make Athena jealous." A voice drawled in reply.
Then it struck me.
This guy... it was Draco. And he didn't love me after all. He was just using me.
"Your ex from Hufflepuff?"
"Yeah. So now you know and I expect you not to bother me about these matters again."
Well... I was probably stupid to fall for Malfoy who was in fact, just using me but I wasn't stupid
enough to know that their conversation was over, meaning they were going to be coming out in a
while. So I quickly ran towards the first place I could think of.
The prefect's bathroom.
Draco's words were like a knife stabbing me through the heart.
He was just using me?
Probably my punishment for playing with all the other guys' hearts. I thought bitterly just a while
ago. Is this how it really feels? Now not only do I feel hurt but guilt too. All those guys I played
with... ended up like this. I refuse to make that happen again. Later, I'm going to give Malfoy a
piece of my mind. And he's going to learn one of life's most valuable lessons.
Never mess with Virginia Weasley. A/N: yes, I know it's Ginerva but I think Virginia sounds
better. LoL
Gryffindor Common Room
10 PM
When people say "revenge is sweet", it could be true at most times or be completely false.
For other situations it could be somewhere in between.
Yes, I found putting Malfoy off sweet and somehow... I still feel miserable.
But yet, I know I must move on. Dean, Seamus, Michael and all the other guys were capable of
doing so- so I'm sure I could do it myself. But then, to more important matters. Like revenge.
Earlier during dinner, I made up my face, beamed around at everybody and flirted with Harry.
This obviously bothered Dra-Malfoy because halfway through dinner, he stalked over to the
Gryffindor table and cleared his throat behind Harry and I.
I ignored him and continued talking to Harry. Hermione, Lavender and Parvati sent me curious
glances and Ron acted normal, as if nothing was going on.
"Excuse me Potter but I believe that's my girlfriend you're flirting with."
He announced in this aggravated voice.
I rolled my eyes and looked up at him.
"Of course I'm not, Malfoy. It was just a one-shot. Nothing else. And I thought you already
cleared out that you weren't looking for a serious relationship? Especially with a Weasley." I
emphasized the Weasley and looked up at him with a dangerously innocent face.
The Gryffindor table suddenly quieted, looking at out little "scene" in curiosity and surprise.
"Besides," I continued casually, don't you already have... what's her name? Oh yeah... Athena,
don't you?" I cocked an eyebrow at him, like he did to me several times.
Hermione dropped her goblet of pumpkin juice in open-mouthed shock while Lavender and
Parvati stared at us in wide-eyed surprise.
"Ginny if it's about-"
"It's not about anything, Malfoy. We both have the same purposes anyway." I cut him off,
sending him the 'there's-nothing-you-can-do-about-it-anymore' look.
Saving his dignity in a very Malfoy-like way which made me extremely, positively furious, he
replied in a cold, silky voice-
"You're right Weasley." Then he left.
For a moment, Lavender, Parvati, Hermione and Harry just stared at me.
Then Helen went in this completely annoying way, "Can I have him?"
Of course saying no would ruin my whole "presentation" even if I really wanted to. So I just
shrugged and continued eating.
-----
"What was that about?!" Parvati asked me the moment we entered our dorm. I just couldn't help
it but I could feel tears brimming in my eyes, a few even escaping and rolling down my cheek
pitifully.
"He was using me Parv. Just to make his stupid ex jealous." I slid down the wall, burying my
face in my hands.
"Oh, Gin. I'm sure there's some kind of explanation behind all this." Lavender crouched beside
me and whispered soothingly.
"Of course not. I heard him say it himself. To that Slytherin girl. This... this is just my punishment
for hurting all those other guys as well."
"You didn't hurt them! You know as well as I do that you and the guys you dated agreed that
you weren't looking for long-term relationships with them!" Parvati cried indignantly.
"You have to try and make things right with Draco!" Lavender added.
"I can't. What if what he said was true?" I sobbed into my hands.
Parvati and lavender opened their arms and I fell into them, forming a group hug.
"What if it isn't?" Lavender whispered.
"I'm not ready to take the risk to find out. I'm going to do what I do and move on." I said.
"It's all up to you Ginny." Parvati answered as we stood up.
"If you really do love each other, everything will come out right in the end." Lavender added soothingly.
That was the question.
Did we really love each other?
Thursday, September 18
Dorm
5 AM
Oh God.
It's Thursday today.
Meaning, we have DOUBLE POTIONS WITH SLYTHERIN not to mention having
transfiguration and divination with them too. How will I face the wrath of Draco Malfoy?
Hmmm... easy, actually... act like I've acted all the years before we started dating. Okay...
I can manage.
Now off to the showers!
Library
12:45 PM
Stupid Malfoy!
Argh... well... double potions was right after divination. Isn't that great? And after lunch there's
transfiguration, with slytherin again. Divination was fine. I was able to "ignore" Draco since I had
Lavender and Parvati as my group mates
But Double potions? It was horrible!
Snape paired us all (a gryff with a slytherin!) to make this potion which made you admit
everything you felt or thought about the person who owned the DNA in your own potion. And
of all the people I could have gotten as a partner, I got him.
Malfoy.
"If the potion goes right, you will have 45 seconds to admit what you think or feel about that
person." Snape informed us.
After he informed us about that "significant" piece of information, I slowly headed towards Dra-
Malfoy, dreading my death. We worked our potion in silence, me sneaking a few shameful
glances towards him. He never seemed to look at me. Just at the potion we were brewing.
I really should get over the fact that he won't be apologizing any time now.
So anyway, after a few more minutes, we finished our potion.
We did as Snape instructed us and confronted him when we were finished.
"Now drink up." He commanded us.
I stared at the sticky substance in my own cup hesitantly and drained it as fast as I could.
"Malfoy you're a slimy, lying git and I couldn't bring myself to forgiving you for what you did to
me! Using me to make your slut of an ex girlfriend jealous! I could just kill you right now if I
didn't l-" And 45 seconds were up.
What a great save. If that hasn't been 45 seconds, I could have said I liked him.
All I know was I was not planning to say love.
Or was I?
I'm not really sure.
But if I did do that... the thing I called pride would have vanished. I couldn't read Malfoy's
expression but he just drained his own cup as well.
"Ginny Weasley... I... you're a sly little witch who has the knack of finding information which isn't
exactly true. You get mad easily and annoy me with that attitude of yours and I would have told
you off a long time ago if I didn't-"
And another 45 seconds up.
I wonder what he wanted to say.
Well... why should I care?! He's a slimy, lying git after all! Okay... well... even if I tried to not
care... I couldn't! Ergh!!!!
What to do?
If I confessed to Malfoy that I did love him... if I really actually do, I' be risking my pride
because there is that fact about him USING me so that would just mean rejection and I can
NOT stand rejection. Malfoy rejecting me would make me bummed (more than I already am)
and Ron usually attempts to break the necks of people who make me bummed- (and almost
succeeded in one particular situation) which would mean an injured Malfoy, making him hate me
even more.
If I chose to forget about him (which I think would be impossible, seeing we have classes
TOGETHER), move on and date other guys, hurray to all the other guys, another chance of
free, single, unattached dating with whoever I please.
Let's see... rejection or unattached dating?
The answer is pretty obvious isn't it?
Unattached dating here I come!
