UNINVITED
Like
anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd need shepherd
But you you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate
- Alanis Morisette
"My goodness, a new year and I'm still struggling with Transfiguration," Colin sighed, placing his head on his arms to rest on the table.
Ginny attempted to ignore him, going through her Charms notes.
Their N.E.W.T.S were coming up in four months time but the pressure was already on them to do well.
While Luna's head was buried in a thick book about Divination, Ginny was dying for a break.
She glanced out of the long, rectangular windows, admiring the bright spring sunshine filtering in.
They had been holed up in here the whole day, a Sunday meant to be spent out in the brilliant sunshine.
Almost as if someone had read her thoughts, two strong, muscular arms wrapped themselves around her, kisses raining on the patch of freckled creamy skin that joined her shoulder blades to her neck.
She stiffened for a moment before relaxing, her face breaking into a smile.
Familiarity bred contempt after all. She was becoming so used to Jake that she had herself convinced that he was what she had wanted all this while - someone sweet and understanding who made her laugh occasionally.
"How about a walk?" He asked straightening up and smiling down at her.
They were becoming a regular item around the school. The handsome Hufflepuff Quidditch captain and the pretty, vivacious red head Weasley who was editor of the school paper.
It was a normal sight to see her wearing his extra Quidditch robes and cheering him on during his games, except when he happened to be playing against Gryffindor, of course. Then she would cheer for Colin, much to Jake's wry amusement.
The pair was envied by most of the school population "Quite possibly the most compatible and popular couple since Lily and James Potter," it was said.
"Okay," She agreed instantly, grabbing her books she left after a 'have fun' and a smirk from a disgruntled Colin and an oblivious Luna.
The couple stepped out onto the huge Quidditch field and crossed it, heading towards the lake, Jake¡¯s arm around Ginny¡¯s slender waist; her head nestled in the crook of his broad rangy shoulder.
Insects buzzed, ecstatically around the profusion of blooming flowers, their colors so vibrant and rich they hurt the eyes. No place on earth had greener grass than that which spread like a carpet around Hogwarts.
Ginny smiled a sad, wistful smile. She was really going to miss this place.
Jake began talking about how he had stopped some slimy Slytherin, who had tried to bully his friend earlier; so Ginny closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of spring.
She did not see him first. He saw her.
When he saw her on his way across the field towards the greenhouses, a sigh escaped his lips.
Not one of longing, or admiration ¡§C that would come later. This one was of wistful regret.
He felt a hundred years old, watching her with her boyfriend; so content together and obviously so much in love.
He, himself, had never enjoyed such innocent young love before, or such contentment, however brief.
Her youth though, undermined her purposefulness, he had come to realize after observing her for a while.
Her demeanor fooled many and that was what had intrigued him about her ¡§C that behind Ginny¡¯s face, with features so delicate they looked ethereal, operated a shrewd, though unscrupulously honest, mind.
That she had a surprisingly ambitious side to her sweet and kind person.
She was ambitious as an editor of the newspaper, something even Dumbledore had highlighted, the day that Draco Malfoy had talked to him in his office. She was also astute enough to give someone like Jake a shot, knowing his potential.
Draco had not really caught what Dumbledore had meant by his last statement ¡§C but then again, the old man rambled a lot. So Draco had just nodded his head, politely.
McGonnagal was right ¡§C he had become mellower.
That was what she had told him two days ago, the highest form of a compliment he could get from her and a vast improvement from the slap on the face she had given him when he had first arrived. She had been rather mild mannered to him lately.
Draco glanced once more at Ginny, from across the field.
Here was this girl, focused, crazy and seventeen. Her breasts were perfect small cups, her legs gangly but curved, and her eyes like flint and flower petals. Her whole life was ahead of her, unscarred and innocent.
Draco felt a flash of envy, a desire to change that ¡§C to hurt her and to make her feel what he felt, but that evil thought vanished as quickly as it had come. It had been only a remnant of his past self.
Sighing heavily, he kept his eyes on the grass that his boots crunched as he walked.
Ginny opened her eyes and found she was looking right at Malfoy who was striding across the field, his movement panther-like and silent.
Her heart instantly rocketed into her throat and her vision blurred for a moment. She felt her heart beginning to flutter strangely; perhaps she was having palpitations?
Ginny had seen him during their lessons, but somehow with the whole class around them and her mind on the potion that she was brewing, he did not seem to bother her so much as when she caught sight of him, alone and unexpected.
It was those times when she felt all strange and lightheaded.
She watched him, cutting a fine graceful figure in his robes. There was no mistaking the clean muscular lines of his shape.
Draco¡¯s hair was au natural and ruffled slightly by the gentle breeze. She liked it that way, imitating the wildness of his spirit with swirling strands that defied control.
He was almost a man, she realized, and not only because of his age, but also because of those lines of maturity that surrounded his eyes and mouth.
"I want you."
"Ginny?" Jake asked, startled by her sudden statement.
Ginny blinked in surprise. Had she spoken aloud? And to whom had she been referring in the first place? She had been thinking about Malfoy but she couldn¡¯t or could she have?
No bleeding way.
Desperate for a distraction, she turned around to kiss Jake, catching him by surprise not only with her action but also with the breathtaking passion she kissed him with, that was something he was not accustomed to.
He almost didn¡¯t believe that she had it in her ¡§C well, until today that is.
Draco saw them as he stepped into the greenhouse, caught in a passionate lip-lock that made his throat tighten.
Shaking off that image, he turned his back to them.
Once they broke away, breathless, Jake looked down at the girl he thought he had known. There were her gentle kisses, and her kind touch, but there seemed to be another side to her that she rarely revealed.
"Ginny?"
The redhead smiled up at him, looping her hands around his neck. Something about her smile was not right. It was as if she was fighting with something else inside her.
Sunlight glistened on the back of Jake¡¯s eyelashes as he stared down at her.
"I just said that I want you, that's all," Ginny grinned.
Jake decided that it had to be the sunlight in her face and the heady scent of flowers blooming that was making him think absurd thoughts before smiling back at her.
My Author' s note
I made a grave mistake the previous chapter..I forgot to thank my dearest beta reader ¡¡ìC Kat! THANK YOU SWEETIE!!!
Oh and I have a new beta reader who rocks!! Presenting to you dracoscutie or otherwise known as shauna! You go girl..This hcapter would not have been possible without her..
I have as much fun doing this as writing my story cos it involves interacting with you, my beloved readers and reviewers!
Merlin, I love you guys more than Draco loves Ginny
The best part is unlike bloody hot and handsome Draco, I know that I love you guys and your reviews..
Enough of all this lovin¡¯, I am glad you find my author¡¯s note funny..i did not..perhaprs the thought of seeing my ghastly teacher took all the humour out of the otherwise hilarious situation..
And this story will definitely not end anytime soon
It has about ten chapters or so
I have already written the ending but will most likely rewrite it and prolong this story..
I still don¡¯t know how to end it..
Any ideas, expectations do let me know
So I can write otherwise and shock all of you all¡HEHE
You want Ginny to break up with Jake? But he¡¯s sooo sweet..reminds me of this guy in my class that I like..actually he has the absolutely irresistible combination of Jake¡¯s sweetness and Draco¡¯s brutal intensity..hehe..am I undeniably infatuated or am I undeniably infatuated??
Oh and what do you mean it¡¯s either Jake or Draco? Were you referring to who gave Ginny the invisibility cloak? Cos the answer is revealed in the previous chappie..
Draco and Ginny with 2.5 kids, house, dog, car? I don¡¯t think so, hon. That¡¯s waay too normal and ordinary for my Draco..he has to have elegant extravagance just like himself, his dragon skin boots and suede gloves¡he is a rich boy you know¡and his family life will be fraught with dinner parties, motorcades and cameras snapping wherever he goes with his family..hehe..kinda like my dream married life..Hell..i have eaten too much ice cream..
So review..sorry for the short chappie..but next chapter will be long..Promise and very exciting¡scout¡¯s honor (though I am no scout..but a female who once had a crush on a scout..what was I thinking, man??)
Oh and thank you very much for the link to Prisoner of Azakaban..the trailers are out if you're interested..which of course you are..
I am utterly depressed - Lupin looks crappy in the movie..not wise, above everything else and a touch humourous..he looks as my sister say a complete geek..and he is NOT a geek..
Malfoy..only side profile..but I don¡¯t believe I am saying this..he looks kinda good..How old is Tom Felton? Please tell me he's my age - seventeen..
Emma Watson looks too old and much too pretty for her role as hermione..i mean if she looked like that Ronn would have snogged her al long while ago..(You guys do know that Emma Watson and Tom Felton are dating right in real life?)
Daniel Radcliff looks like Harry Potter but he's getting uglier as he grows ..how is he going to get together with Ginny (I belive that harry and ginny must be together in the real hp world) If I were her, I would go for Ron..or Malfoy..Ron looks better in this movie..the funny cute guy next door sort..
I am already disappointed anyway by my darling Lupin's misrepresentation in this movie..Blast!
So give me more reviews to cheer me up..
Here¡¯s a sneak peek:
She had stopped spinning but her pulse was still racing and she felt incredibly giddy as if she was still spinning as she stared up at the face of the person who had caught her in his arms.
Please check out my other fics that are similar in genre to this ¡§C if you know what I mean ¡§C the newest one Love Letter and Harder to Breathe¡do leave reviews!
