Chapter 11: Excitement
Ginny walked away numb. She hadn't expected Draco of all people to ask her to the ball. She knew that he could have the 'pick of the litter' so to speak, in girls. He had grown up really really nicely. As soon as she rounded the corner, however, her mind jarred to a halt, as a screaming and bouncing Cassie jumped on her.
"Oh Merlin!!! You're going to the ball! And with Draco no less. Nice work Ginny, gimme 5!"
Ginny stared at her dumbfounded. "How did you know?"
Cassie, with her hand still outstretched, replied "Well I was listening, of course. If it was Ryan, how would I have known when to come and save you, if I wasn't listening?" She put her hand down, since no 5-ing action was happening. "But once I heard it was Draco, I tried to stop listening, but I heard the word 'ball' and 'yes' so I wisely put two and two together...Merlin! We're going to have to go gown shopping, accessories shopping, everything shopping! Oh, how exciting!"
Ginny smiled and listened to her friend prattle on, as they walked back to the rooms.
Draco, walked down the corridor smiling, as he heard the faint exultations of Cassie. He rounded another corner and wondered what she was thinking about. Himself obviously, he thought with a touch of arrogance. She would have to be thinking about him since he would be the one taking her to the ball; but what he really wondered was what emotions she had. Relief? Happiness? He couldn't be sure, but that, he said to himself, would have to be a thinking matter of another day. Now, he had work to do.
