Chapter 4: The First Day
A/N: Wow! I really haven't updated in a while! Sorry about that, guys!
That morning Ginny woke up with a smile on her face. She was back at Hogwarts, where she was with all her friends. And today, was the day all her classes started. Humming softly to herself, she clambered out of her bed. Her sleepy smile froze on her face when she saw what time it was. Oh Merlin, I'm so late!!! Darting across the room pulling on clothes while grabbing her books at the same time, she decided to skip breakfast and head directly to her first class, which was- Oh, fuck. Snape'll have my head on a platter, she thought with a groan. Dashing around the corridors she made it to her potions class only 6 and half minutes late. She opened the door and scrambled into the classroom.
"Ah, Miss Weasley, so nice of you to grace us with your presence. Please take a seat," Snape said, saracastically.
Grabbing the closest seat to her, she sat down and looked around the classroom. Ginny, being a very accomplished young lady, was in Potions 7, one level higher than most wizards and witches her age. She didn't know very many, but 'lo in the very third row diagonally to the left of her seat, sat Draco. He took up two seats, since he was sitting sideways on his chair, and using the seat next to him as a footstool. His sleeves were rolled up, his robe was open, so she could see the pristine whiteness of his shirt. He was the very epitome of manly comfort and confidence. Seeing him thus, Ginny started to get very warm, and felt a rushing sensation. What it meant, she didn't know, but whatever it was would have to wait until after Snape's lecture. Pulling out her quill, she began taking notes.
Draco, however was not oblivious to Ginny's presence. He had turned around, just like every other student when the door had unexpectedly opened. And there he saw Ginny, her chest heaving, cheeks flushed, and her curls still bobbing from her scurry to class. Never before had she looked that lovely. When that thought came to his mind, he had to mentally smack himself for such thinking. He wondered however, why she was in his class. Snape wasn't surprised to see her, so it wasn't a mistake, perhaps little Ginny Weasley was much smarter than he had suspected. Glancing back at her, he accidently met her gaze. She didn't pull her eyes away, and for several moments, their eyes were locked to each other. He had never seen eyes as deep as hers. They were a deep, chocolatey brown. Other times he would say brown is boring, but hers were warm and welcoming, and seemed to invite. I wonder what she's thinking, he pondered to himself. And suddenly just as his mind asked that question, it seemed that she suddenly noticed what she was doing and quickly averted his eyes, and looked down at her notes.
Hmm, thought Draco, well, wasn't that interesting? And with that, he pulled his legs off of the adjacent chair, and faced forward, slumming a pen off the guy in front of him, he also continued to take notes.
Edit: I had quite a few complaints about Ginny's eyes, which I (I admit with shame) said were green. As you can see now, the mistake has been rectified.
