"Hey guys, what's going on?"
"Just looking for you, for what seems like days! Where have you been?"
She was happy it was only her friends. Well, the people she sort of trusted and hung out with.
Amille just raised an eyebrow and shook her head.
"Just...around. You know."
"Well rumors are flying around the school, and not about the normal people you would usually suspect. Its about you!"
"Me?"
"Yes you. I've been worried, you know?"
"Yea, I know."
"Ok well I don't wanna grill you for anything. Just play it safe, ok? We don't really know how this new Draco acts. He's just...confusing."
"Thanks for the concern, but I'll be ok."
Luna came up and hugged Ginny. Although neither of them were really into hugging.
They both started walking their separate ways. She could hear them whisper to each other, but she paid no mind.
Ginny reached into her pocket to make sure it was there. She gripped it tightly and pulled it out. Ginny looked once more at the map.
' Ok, so im here, and it should be...'
She followed the trail with her finger from where she was, to the Tower.
'Not to far from here.'
She began walking, right passed the portrait of the raven and down a long and dark hallway. She walked slowly as not to draw attention. Ginny squinted her eyes; it looked like a dead end. She walked strait to the end of the hallway and stopped.
'There's supposed to be a staircase here. I wonder if this is just a joke or something.'
She went to put her head on the wall and fell right through. She caught herself and looked up. The staircase.
"Wow. Neat-o."
Ginny looked back at where she had fallen through. She could see out at the people walking by the hallway. Disregarding its presence as if it wasn't there at all.
Ginny turned back around at the poorly lit staircase, and traveled up them as fast as she could. When she got to the top, the torches lit up one by one. She looked at this room, and wondered why she like the others, had just passed by the hallway leading to this room.
There were chairs, a fireplace, a window, a couch, and a small table above a rug. It wasn't too big of a room, but it wasn't small.
She walked over to the window and gazed out. It was only about 3:00 so the kids and teachers were still outside. She looked at them all and felt like a little kid at Christmas. It was a hideaway from all of the disruption in her life. A place to hide.
Ginny walked over to one of the chairs and heard the floor clank as two stone pieces being pushed together. She lifted up the rug and found a broken stone piece. Ginny pulled out her wand to fix it, but an idea came to mind.
She lifted the stone and found a hole with a small tattered box inside. She sat down and lifted it out of the floor. It was empty except for a few blank parchments and some dust. She looked them over front to back. Ginny pulled out her wand and said, "Reveal your secrets". Nothing.
She smiled and imagined what she could put into there. A secret room, a secret stash, secret. Draco knew about one, but now she really had something for herself. Things were working out for once. She looked around the room and it felt like home.
She situated the rocks back in place and laid down on the couch. Gazing out of the window, her eyes opened and shut before she fell asleep.
"Sex, love and...rock and roll baby!"
"Oh Draco...hehehe."
"Oh my god...ummm, not here."
"Why? Its perfect! No one is here but... Draco who's that girl over there? HUH? I told you im not into that. Take me out now!" "Melissa, I..."
"Hurry up, I want out."
Ginny lied awake with her eyes closed, so he would still think she was asleep.
"Fine, close your eyes again so I can take you out."
"Grrr, why does this have to be so difficult? Goodbye Draco!"
She could hear the girl storm down the hall.
"Its not like we were together anyway!" "Psshh."
"Wait!"
Ginny got up and looked around. It was dark outside, so she figured she had slept the day away. She rubbed her eyes and began walking down the stairs.
(This is the cue to play the song if you took the time)
Ginny tied her hair back in the rubber band she had since she was 10.
She made her way down the hall. Winding and turning. Things were so dark. Hey, to her it was like walking in everyday life. No questions, just darkness.
She turned the corner and heard footsteps. She backed up against the wall and peeked over the armor to see who it was. Harry had backed up against the wall and had whipped something out of his pocket, and flipped it up and down in the air. Ginny knew this was familiar.
With little moonlight she had, she crept closet to see what he was holding. Her foot got caught on the armor and it made a noise. Harry just glanced over and went back to doing whatever he was doing.
Ginny's heart began to race. Something inside her built up again. Her breaths quickened and her world began to slow. She felt her heart beat faster and faster and remembered the old days when she was in love. How she had to put up with knowing she could never have. Her back was against the armor and the wall.
She turned around the corner to see him, he had disappeared. She walked out and she squinted but she couldn't see him.
"Looking for me Gin?"
"Uhh...umm..."
He slipped something back into his pocket. She snagged a glance and her eyes widened. She looked up into his moonlight eyes and she couldn't think of all the bad he had done to her. She melted in his eyes and then realized what she was doing and looked down, seeing his arm. Freshly cut wounds. Ginny's heart beat faster than ever.
"Yea, I can't help it."
"I know the feeling, its mutual...Harry."
She couldn't believe she was having this conversation with him.
"What do you mean?"
She lifted her arm into his view.
"Oh. This is more of a muggle thing. Kind of odd that wizards and witches would do it."
"Im not like them."
"I know."
"What?"
"Just...just shut up Ginny."
He held her face and kissed her. She could feel the coldness of his arms and she didn't know what was going on. She wanted this. She got into it and they both held each other. She opened her eyes for just one second and looked at his face.
'I cant believe he wants to kiss me! Cant think now...defiantly cant think now... im not like the other girls...im no wear near as pretty...ive gone mad, im still dreaming...yes that's it.'
She didn't know really what she was doing. But she tried. Just going by what she had seen. Their bodies drew closer, and the kisses more intense. Harry held her with one arm on her back and one on her neck. She was stable right there. It seemed like a million years and she didn't care at all. His body was warm and his arms were cold. She could barley breathe let alone move. She was mesmerized. Frozen in time. Their lips parted and they stared at each other.
He let go of her and she felt dizzy. Him holding her up was the only way for her not to fall down. Her knees gave out and she looked up, embarrassed. He stretched out his arm, his strong, cut up arm. It looked absolutely beautiful.
She grabbed hold and he chuckled. She folded her arms and tucked her hair behind her ear. He pulled her arm back out and kissed her scars, and then he rubbed some of his blood onto her wrist.
He came up next to her and whispered "Until next time." And walked down the corridor. Ginny slipped to her knees and began to cry. This was all great until it had to be taken away. Her tears hit the floor. She felt she had done something wrong but she had done something right too. She saw one of her tears hit her wrist where he had left his mark. The two mixed together even though they were both so different...
