Chapter 8 – A room is required.
A very talented Ginny Weasley had expertly avoided everybody (except her roommates) for the day claiming she didn't feel well. She was now sitting silently on her bed reading 'Jeans Re-entered' when she heard her room door open and close, assuming it was one of her roommates Ginny didn't look up but when the person stopped at the foot of her bed didn't say anything and look like they intended to move, she looked up.
"Hey Dean... What's up?" (Dean in the girl's dorm the mind reels how he got up there)
"Nothing" He was watching her intently, he seemed quite angry about something and on that Ginny didn't want to piss him off anymore so she kept silent.
"You know I saw the most interesting thing yesterday after you left... you know to go to bed because you were so tired and all"
"Really what?" Ginny asked not getting Dean's point but getting increasingly more nervous all the same.
"Well about an hour after you left I got bored and went to check if you were alright-"
"Why?" Ginny interrupted her nervousness spreading but none of it showing.
"You know, I don't even know anymore, all I remember is opening the door and seeing Draco Malfoy's lips on yours and you didn't seem to be putting up much of a fight to get him off"
Ginny gasped. She slid off her bed and approached Dean slowly. "Dean I can explain"
"NO! Don't explain anything to me Virginia!" He spat her name "I'm just one of the people that cared for you, defended you on many occasions from Malfoy and there you are making us all look like fools... me, Harry, your brother"
"No dean let me explain" Ginny went to touch Dean's shoulder but he beat her hand away in disgust.
"Don't touch me you sick WHORE!" At that Dean raised his hand, bringing down swiftly across Ginny's face.
He had hit her with such force that it didn't hurt it stung like a bitch but didn't really hurt but that could have been caused by the anger now flowing through Ginny her red hair seemed to be on fire. She had never ever been hit in her life. And she was no longer sad she no longer wanted to explain calmly to Dean she wanted him dead.
"How dare you" she began in a low growl "come in here to my room accuse me of such a thing and then hit me" her voice steadily growing in volume.
"Ginny I saw-"
"I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT YOU SAW OR WHAT YOU THINK YOU SAW DEAN... IT'S MY LIFE AND I'LL DO WHAT I WANT WITH WHOMEVER I WANT... NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM"
"DON'T YOU-"
"GET OUT!"
Dean spun on his heels and left. As the door slammed shut pain flooded back to Ginny's red-hot cheek. Ginny stood silently in her room breathing deeply and cold salty tears ran down her cheeks cooling them slightly.
She walked over to her bedside table and picked her small and mirror. She had to go to the bathroom and fix her face before meeting Draco.
Ginny walked down into the common room after brushing her hair into her face in an attempt to cover her cheek as well as the fact she was crying. She had almost reached the portrait hole when Ron stopped her.
"Hey Gin. Haven't seen you all day"
"Yeah I was in my room lot's of work to do" she looked at the floor not daring to glance at Ron but her efforts proved futile.
"Gin, are you ok? What happened why are you crying?"
"Nothing Ron I'm fine"
Ron knew when his sister cried it was never nothing "No your not alright tell me want happened"
"Ron don't" she was getting angrier he was blocking her only exit and she really wanted to leave"
"Look Gin I have a right to know"
That was the straw that broke the Camels back "You have a right? Do you? YOU have a right? Well then Ronald since you have 'a right' to know everything. Dean just hit me"
"What?" Ron stared in disbelief at his little sister.
"DEAN FUCKING THOMAS JUST HIT ME!"
The common room was silent, Ron was silent. His face showing no emotion except his shaking head. He turned around and stormed up the stairs to the boy's dorm. Ron burst through the door.
"How dare you-"he spoke to dean whom was standing at the opposite end of the room.
"Ron I –"
"Don't talk to me- How dare you touch my sister" Ron cleared the length of the room in three strides. Dean opened his mouth to speak but the words never made it out. Ron raised is fist and it connected squarely with Dean's jaw. Then Dean connected with the ground.
Dean rolled over still trying to explain to Ron what had happened but Ron wouldn't listen every time Dean opened his Mouth to speak Ron would hit him. The taste of iron slowly leaked into Dean's mouth as he tried to fight back but Ron to tall to strong and too angry.
Harry came into the dorm looking for Ron to ask what was wrong with Ginny. When he came in and saw the fight he rushed to help Dean. After painstakingly restraining Ron. Harry spoke.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with everybody today?"
"Harry I" Dean began.
"Shut it Thomas," Ron spat "Harry, that, that, that thing, hit my sister"
"He what?"
"He hit Ginny"
"But I-"
"Shut it Thomas no one asked you to speak" Harry spat
"She just told me" Harry nodded and at this turned to Dean and without a word Harry replaced Ron and began to Beat Dean.
Ron sat back and doctored his knuckles as Harry hurt Dean, until Seamus and Neville came in and restrained Harry.
"Harry mate what's gotten into you?" Neville asked.
"He hit Ginny"
The other two roommates eyed their bleeding roommate with disgust and helped Harry and Ron to the infirmary for their Minor injuries.
=?=?=?=?=?=?=?=?=?
=Ron turned and walked up the stairs to the Boys dorm=
Ginny watched her brother go and then left the common room. Where she ran into Harry.
"Hey Ginny... What's wrong?"
"Go ask Ron"
She pulled herself from Harry's grasp and ran off. She ran to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Swollen cheek, red puffy eyes she was a mess.
Ginny checked her watch. 5:55pm. There was no time to do anything before meeting Draco. She fixed her hair back into her face with her fingers.
"That's not gonna work you know"
"Myrtle, go back to your toilet"
"Oh someone's touchy today"
"Myrtle bite me ok... I don't see why you chose to stay I mean nobody wants you here... and Olive Hornby has certainly moved on so why don't you?"
Ginny spun on her heels and left. The door closed and water splashed up against it and seeped under it. Ginny knew she had been mean to Myrtle but she really wasn't in the mood to talk.
She needed sleep.
Ginny reached the corridor and saw a blonde-haired boy with his back to her. As she walked into the corridor a door appeared to her right. She rested her hand on the knob and turned it.
"Draco over here"
He turned around to see Ginny disappear into a room. Now he was sure that door had not always been there. Draco followed and found her lying on a bed staring at the ceiling. He closed the door.
"You ok?" She rolled over and got up her hair fell in her face.
"I'm fine, there's just a lot going on" Ginny's throat was dry.
I need something to drink she thought.
Just then a glass of water appeared on the shelf behind Draco's head. Ginny walked over to the shelf and picked up the glass of water. She flicked her hair behind her shoulder and lifted the glass to her lips. The moistened her throat and vocal chords.
"Ginny?"
"Uh-huh"
"What's that?" Draco was looking straight at her cheek.
She took the glass from her lips and her hair fell into her face once more.
"What's what?" she asked innocently.
Draco tucked her hair behind her right ear and touched her cheek. She winced.
"This" he looked at her trying to catch her eye but she would only look at the floor.
"It's nothing"
"Nothing... Ginny who did this to you?"
"No-one... I"
"You fell I'm sure... Ginny tell me who did this?" he pleaded.
She didn't need to look at him to know it she could hear it. She mumbled something in response and then looked at the wall to her right.
"Who?"
"Dean" She said in a meek voice. She had known that Ron would have beaten him and when Harry found out he would have also but Draco would have surely killed him.
"Dean... who's Dean?"
"Dean Thomas" Ginny had just found interest in the ceiling still avoiding Draco's penetrating silver eyes.
"The chaser?"
Ginny nodded.
"Ok"
Draco turned to leave but Ginny managed to slip in between him and the door.
"Draco don't hurt him" She rested her hands on his chest to stop him.
"I won't hurt him I'll Kill him"
"No don't"
"Why not? Give me one good reason"
"He saw us" (Good reason)
"What?" Draco was confused.
"He saw us coming in from the lake in the entrance hall"
"Shit" Draco whispered.
He backed away from the door and walked into the middle of the room. Ginny followed.
"What are we gonna do?" Draco whispered more to himself than Ginny. He had his back to her.
"You're not going to do anything"
"So I'm just supposed to sit back and let him get away with hitting someone I care about!" he turned to face her.
"You...you care about me?" Ginny was rapt.
"Ginny not now" Draco tried to change the subject "I'm trying to figure out what to do with someone who just hit my girl..." he trailed off.
"You girl... what?"
"Ginny not now" Draco had put his foot in it.
How am I going to get out of this? ... You're not a voice in his head replied in a singsong voice.
I'm a Malfoy of course I am... No you love her... How do you know? ... I'm the author I know everything Draco shook his head
You're a girl aren't you? ... The words Duh-ai come to mind... Fine them Miss. Know it all what do I do now? ... The hokey-pokey... the what? ... Nothing I'll tell you later
"Draco are you feeling ok?"
He shook himself "yeah fine"
"Are you sure you were just dancing?"
"I was what?
"Dancing, the Hokey-pokey" Ginny smiled.
"Damn author" Draco mumbled.
"Excuse me" Ginny asked.
"Nothing, I need to lie down"
Draco lay down and stared at the ceiling. Ginny lay on her stomach next to him. Draco was messaging his temples with his fingers.
"Headache?" she asked.
He nodded closing his eyes.
"I can fix that."
Ginny raised herself to her knees and moved towards Draco. She placed on either side of him and lowered her head to his. She kissed him and automatically Draco moved his hands from his head to her waist. She swung a leg over his hips.
He licked her lips and gained entry to her mouth. He enjoyed the way her tongue gently messaged his. She ran a hand over his cheek, he did the same and she winced.
"Sorry" He breathed against her lips.
"It's ok," she whispered back.
Draco rolled over, so now he was on top of Ginny. She pulled off his robes and discarded them. She pulled off the T-shirt he was wearing. And he smiled.
"Now this isn't fair"
"And your point is?" She smiled back and pulled off her robes.
"Happy?"
"Very"
Draco kissed her again. With one hand on her left cheek he slipped the other under her shirt. He left the shirt on not wanting to push her too far. Ginny moaned against his lips. She laced her fingers around his neck and pulled him closer. She ran her fingers through his hair. She noticed that he was holding back, and though it was sweet that was not what she wanted. She would stop him if anything but he wasn't to hold back.
At this Ginny let go of him and pulled off her shirt.
After about 5 minutes more of roaming hands and Draco finally getting the message. Ginny placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him away.
"Draco stop"
"What?" He was confused.
"Stop... if I go any further with you tonight I'll regret it" Ginny moved from underneath him and picked up her shirt from the middle of the room.
"Bet you wouldn't regret it if I was saint Potter" Draco mumbled angrily pulling his shirt on over his head. Ginny spun around "Where the hell did that come from? I mean that is old news Harry's like... my brother" She shivered at the thought. "And besides me regretting it has nothing to do with it being you, I'm just... not ready" she finished and pulled on her robe.
Draco crossed the room and held her waist "you seemed pretty ready to me" he joked.
"Draco" she warned.
"Fine I won't rush you" He kissed her.
"Thank you" She checked her watch. "Shit, it's after curfew I have to go"
"Slow down I'm a prefect I'll walk you"
"Sweet but a bad idea after what happened today Ron will be looking out for me"
Draco sighed "Fine, see you tomorrow"
"Ok, bye"
"Bye"
She kissed him again and left.-
