Chapter Five
Angry Redhead
"What does it look like I'm doing Ronald? Obviously I'm having a conversation with Draco Malfoy." Ginny said sarcastically.
Ron looked taken aback for a moment before regaining his senses quickly.
"I bloody well see that Ginny. Why are you talking to him?"
Draco chose this moment to intervene. He would not stand here and be talked about as if he were not there.
"How is that any of your business Weasely? Go back and make out with your mudblood."
Ron angrily sputtered at this before charging at Draco. Ginny and Hermione used all of their strength to keep him from going at Draco. Ginny looked at Draco, and motioned with her head for him to leave. He stared at her for a moment, and then slowly nodded and walked away with a swish of his robes. Once he was out of sight, the two girls released the angry redhead.
"What in bloody hell were you two doing? Malfoy needs to have the shit beat out him. Bloody prat."
Ginny looked at Hermione pleadingly. She didn't want to deal with Ron at this very moment. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to hold in her powers if provoked. Hermione nodded her head, and gently, but firmly grabbed Ron's hands and lead him down the hall towards the Gryffindor common room. Ginny smiled as she heard Hermione gently scold him for his actions.
"Honestly Ron, you'd think you'd have learned to keep that anger in check for once. He only does it to provoke you, you know..."
Ginny, sensing that Ron's temper had not yet cooled opted to go outside before returning to the common room. She needed to think, and Ron yelling at her was not going to help. She slowly made her way out to the lake and sat down on the soft grass. She thought back to the conversation she'd had with Draco earlier. He really wasn't at all the bad things Ron had made him out to be. Sure he was an annoying prat at times, but today he'd shown her he could actually be human. She smiled to herself as she thought back to the conversation they'd had earlier. It was nice to be able to talk to someone who actually paid attention to her. Her conversations with Harry, Ron, and Hermione were nice enough, but they never really listened to anything she had to say.
"I figured you'd be here Weasely."
Ginny started at the quiet masculine voice. She turned her head and stared at none other than Draco Malfoy, the boy she'd been thinking about for the last 15 minutes.
"Gods, Dra-Malfoy. You're still trying to kill me eh?"
He laughed at her statement, and Ginny was dumbstruck. Had Malfoy just laughed? Ginny stood up and placed her hands on his forehead. No fever, she thought to herself. She brought her hands down to the side of his neck and checked for his pulse. It was strong and steady. She stared up at the laughing face of Draco Malfoy and nearly melted at his feet. She'd known he was attractive, but he was just gorgeous when he smiled. His beautiful gray eyes lit up with unholy mirth, and his mouth... oh his mouth. The things she could do with that mouth. Ginny froze at this last thought. Not again, she thought to herself. She made a mental note never to look at Malfoy's mouth again...ever.
"Weasely!"
Ginny quickly looked up, a blush forming on her already rosy cheeks. She could only hope he hadn't guessed at her wicked thoughts.
"What?"
"You spaced out for a while there. I know I'm good looking, but staring is quite frankly, rude"
Ginny glared at him before doing the unexpected. She pushed Draco into the lake. Ginny burst into tiny giggles, and finally loud laughs as she watched Draco's expression before he hit the water. He came up sputtering and shouting rather obscene words at her as he dragged himself out of the freezing water. Ginny was laughing so hard her sides were hurting. She wiped at the tears that escaped her tightly closed eyelids and looked a Draco with a wide smile on her face. His clothes were plastered to his body and his hair was everywhere. He glared at her for a minute before a devilish glint came into his eye. Ginny, not liking that look slowly backed away as he began to advance on her.
"You shouldn't have done that Weasely," he drawled out menacingly.
"You deserved it," she replied, with the last bit of her courage. He just smiled at her with that same glint in his eye as he walked towards her slowly. Then suddenly he attacked her. His hands were everywhere tickling her, and she began to laugh again as she tried to push his hands away. Tears of laughter were running down Ginny's face and her breath was labored because of the tickling Draco was inflicting on her. They were so engrossed in their little game, neither noticed the small tree branch behind them. Ginny's foot caught on the slightly upturned root and went sprawling taking Draco with her.
She landed, rather ungracefully, on her back as Draco landed on top of her. They both burst out laughing again at their clumsiness until they realized the compromising position they were in. One of Draco's knees was in between Ginny's legs and her hands resting comfortably on his chest. Ginny felt her heart contract as she stared into Draco's eyes. They both moved their heads toward one another as if some unseen force were pushing them. A loud hoot from somewhere deep in the forest pulled the two teens out of their reverie and they quickly sprang apart. Ginny pushed herself up quickly and offered her hand to Draco. Surprisingly, he took it and hoisted himself up. Ginny chose to ignore the tiny spark she felt when her hand touched his and instead made it a point to fix her robes.
Another uncomfortable silence engulfed them and finally Draco spoke.
"Well, umm I guess we'd better get back to the school then Weasely"
Ginny winced at the mild insult and the nodded her head towards him. Silently both started walking towards the castle, and neither attempted to say another word. Once again, they found themselves back at the hallway that separated Slytherin and Gryffindor. Finally Draco spoke up, as he was sick of the silence.
"You'd better get to your common room, Weasely."
Ginny nodded and proceeded down the slightly dark hallway. She turned back to see Draco staring at her, and she spoke without really thinking about what she was saying.
"I'll be going then. Oh and by the way, the name is Ginny, Malfoy. Not Weasely."
Draco sent a surprised look in her direction before smirking at her. The little one really did have a lot of guts, he thought to himself.
"The name is Draco, Ginny. And not Malfoy."
She smiled at him and nodded before walking off to where the Fat Lady portrait hung. She had a lot of things to think about.
A/N: Sucky chapter I know, but I'll make up for it in the next one. I'm absolutely positive there are quite a few errors in this and if you happen to find one, kindly let me know. My spell check is hardly reliable lol Anyway, a little romance for my own pleasure, but no kissing or "I love you's" yet. I have to keep you interested lol so, you know the drill, as always Read, review, and enjoy. : D
