With a final kiss from her family and another reminder to write to them she grabbed her trunk and dragged it over to the train to load it on. As soon as she went to pick it up someone else did it for her. Ginny looked up and saw Evan lifting her trunk for her.
"You really don't have to Evan. I can do it," Ginny said with a giggle. Evan had gotten even better looking than the last time she had seen him.
"Nonsense Ginny. I've got it. I don't wanna see you pull your arm out by trying to be all strong and show up the guys," he joked back to her. Evan pushed her trunk onto a shelf in the train and sat down. Evan sat down next to her adn they started small talking about their summers. A few minutes later the Golden Trio came into the compartment to join them.
When Harry first opened the compartment and saw Ginny his heart jumped. When his eyes traveled next to her and saw her basically flirting with that sixth year he felt his temperature rise. He knew he shouldn't be jealous of Ginny's friend but for some reason he was. Harry walked in and took the seat directly across from Ginny. Ginny looked up from her conversation with Evan and gave Harry a quick smile.
Outside of the train it started to drizzle. It wasn't a heavy rain but just enough that if you went outside you would have to change your socks when you came back in. By the time they arrived at Hogwarts the rain had stopped but the ground was mushy and the student were rushing to get to the nearest carriage. Ginny just ran not even noticing that she went a separate way from the rest of her group. She climbed into a carriage not noticing who was there until she looked up and saw the blonde hair of Draco Malfoy.
Ginny gasped and tried to change carriages but it was too late. The carriage had already began moving and she was stuck in a carriage by herself with the ferret. She looked cautiously over at him and noticed that he wasn't smirking at all. In fact he was smiling at her. A genuine smile. Ginny started shivering because of the cold and Draco took out a sweater and handed it to her. Ginny just looked up at him; confused as what to do with it. She reached out and took the sweater and put it on. It was black, of course, but extremely warm. Draco took out his wand and said a few words and in a second Ginny was dry again.
She looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you," she whispered to him. Malfoy smiled at her and just looked at her. Ginny was confused as hell not sure what was going on. Draco had always been an arrogant prick to her family before. Maybe he just didn't know who she was. Of course she did have the family trait mark hair. What the fuck was going on here? she thought to herself. As if only to confuse her more Draco spoke.
"So Ginny, how was your summer?" It was such an innocent question but it was almost as if he were trying to be, dare she say it, nice. Just to be sure she pinched herself in the arm and pricked herself with her nails. She gasped a bit and tried to pinch the blood to stop it from flowing. Draco rolled his eyes and looked over at her. "Come here Ginny. I know how to stop blood from flowing," Ginny went over and sat next to him and he ever so gently took her hand in his and examined her arm. He pushed down on the blood and in a second the cut was healed.
Ginny looked down at her arm and back up at him. His eyes were not the cold blue they normally were. Her hand remained in his and somehow their fingers interlaced with one another's. They sat there in a comfortable silence. Ginny's mind was racing as to what her family would think if they ever saw her sitting here with a Malfoy of all people. Draco draped his arm around her shoulder casually and Ginny leaned her head down on his shoulder. She looked up at him out of the corner of her eyes and he was looking down at her. Ever so slowly they both leaned their heads in towards each others and their lips met. It was a gently kiss but not short.
Their carriage made its way up to the school when they finally broke apart. They both looked at each other and blushed. Ginny had no idea why she had done that but for whatever reason it had felt right. They got out of the carriage with their hands still intertwined. As they walked up towards the big main doors when Ginny caught a glace of her brother. She quickly dropped his hand and motioned over to her brother. He gave her a quick nod and they went their separate ways and into the Great Hall to welcome in the new school year.
