OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Harry stood there dumbly, watching his all-time enemy hold his all-time girlfriend. He had never felt so betrayed and heartbroken. He wanted to yell out, but no words came out of his mouth.
'I could just die right here…'
He slowly turned and walked away. He promised himself that he would not ever turn back. Not to her, anyway. For a long time, he knew that he would not ever see her again.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Her knuckles turned a ghostly white as she gripped the armrest tightly. She felt stuffy and nauseated. Ginny's internal organs were about to turn inside and out, and she had nowhere to run.
"Hello, this is your captain speaking. The plane will begin its flight very soon. Please make sure your seatbelt is on, and we hope you have a pleasant flight. Thank you." He went on into about 10 different languages until she heard the click of the intercom and the roar of the engine. She yelped. A warm smooth hand slid and was on top of hers. She looked to the aisle where the hand came from. A smile crept up on her face.
"Draco…"
"First time on a plane, I see." He squeezed himself in and got comfortable on the seat next to Ginny.
Suddenly, there was a blast of the air conditioning, bringing Ginny back against her red leather chair. She whimpered. He smiled.
"You know, we are very lucky to have first class. If not, you would be puking by now."
She flinched as her armrest sent a shock throughout her fingers. It was going to be a long flight.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Ma'am? Breakfast is served." The flight attendance gently tapped her.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!" Ginny's arms flung out, smacking the kind woman in the face. It seemed as if the airplane froze. Slyly, Ginny looked up.
"Oh…" She buried her head in her face. "I am sooooo sorry." The stewardess tried to smile under her hand. "It is fine. Breakfast is served." Blood gushed out of her nose. Draco leaped up. He held the delicate face of the stewardess in his hands and took out a handkerchief. He gently wiped the blood and pinched her nose. Except Ginny, nobody seemed to hear him mutter a curse that stopped bleeding. When the stewardess was miraculously healed, the first class section of the plane roared with applause. Ginny muttered and frowned. He used a spell! He used a spell! And he gets all this applause and everything? She glared sideways to him, and he smiled. Oh that little…
The stewardess blushed furiously, and thanked him.
"I was just helping a beautiful woman…"
She felt like gagging. What a…a…well, pimp! Getting it on with every single girl in the plane; it was ridiculous. "I would like an omelet please!" She blurted out. The stewardess gave her an awkward, 'Shut-up-I-just-met-the-most-charming-man-ever' smile. Ginny heard Draco chuckle under his breath. "I see…Jealous, are we?"
"Shut. Up."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive!" Ginny cavorted through the bustling airport in California. As she peered into every shop, stopped at every restroom, danced around giddily, Draco felt himself smiling with her.
"Now, calm down, Ginny. We need to look for a girl named Rachel."
"Ah, screw her. Screw that stupid flight attendance slut. I'm here, and very alive too!"
"There's the little jealousy creeping up!"
She glared at him. "Don't ruin it, man. That's not cool." She walked through the sliding glass doors and felt like a supermodel walking into a crowd of fans and photographers. There was a large group of people gathered around, and many cries of "Here! Hey!" and "OH! Look at you!"
'How am I supposed to find a girl named Rachel? Would she be any different? Is she going to have some sign or something?' Ginny thought.
Suddenly, a girl's voice rang in middle of the chatter of people all over her.
"Yeah, mom. I'm here. Don't worry. I didn't get a ticket on the way or something. What? Oh. I didn't make any signs… Well, I guess I can tell if there's a boy and girl coming out. Gosh, mom. I'm not stupid. I can figure it out. Draco and Ginny you say? Okay, okay. Well, it's too late now. Signs are so stupid. Whatever mom. Okay, so I see a girl and boy coming, okay? I'll go check if it's them. Okay mom. I got it! Yes! You've been telling me that the whole 10 minutes! Okay. Bye." Ginny and Draco glanced at each other.
'I guess we found this Rachel girl.'
The girl walked over in her killer heels as she wiped her phone on her tight white shirt. They stood there, stupidly staring at the girl who was going to be taking care of them for about 2 weeks. Draco stared at her body. Ginny admired her snugly fitting light blue jeans.
"Hi. I was just wondering… Are you two Draco and Ginny by any chance?" They nodded.
"Oh good. My mom was giving me like the longest lecture on how I didn't make some stupid sign. I'm Rachel by the way." She smiled a genuine smile, flashing her sparkly perfect white teeth. "Hey, welcome. Do you want some help with your bags?" she looked at Ginny's massive bags.
"Oh, you don't have to…"
"No it's okay. Follow me. I got a nice parking space really close to here."
They followed her as she led them to a cold parking lot. The air smelled so different and Ginny felt a relief from the cramped plane and busy airport.
"I was going to bring my car, but I realized you guys will have like a lot of things, so I brought my mom's van instead. You don't mind right?" Without an answer, she opened the trunk of the old rusty van. She lifted each bag in with the help of Draco, trying to look buff and muscular. Wiping her hands, she got into the driver's seat and motioned them to get in.
"You guys like music?"
"Um… sure."
She turned on the stereo, full volume. Then engine started and she zoomed out of the airport.
I know the faces that have
disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in
lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've
seen this and wondered what I've done to
Calcify...
(I
ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I
come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
I don't
even try it! You had to be a liar just to
Infiltrate me - I'm
still drowning
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it
all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left
behind,we let it all slip away
Take...this...away...
I
can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can
hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get too close
(-Slipknot)
The song ended and Draco and Ginny sighed. There was a little silence then…
Too tragic to stay with you
too
static to try for you
These scars, they swallow…
"Ah. I hate this song." She switched it off. Looking through the mirror, she asked them, "So. What kind of things do you like? Are you hungry? Should I go get some food?"
"Well, Yeah. I guess I'm hungry. I lost a lot of my appetite trying to eat breakfast on the plane…" Ginny said, glancing at Draco. He grinned.
"Yes. I was distracted by the stewardess who…"
"What do you guys want to eat?" Rachel cut them off. They shrugged. She drove until she stopped at a small rusty building. There was a worn out sign that read "Macho Ta o"
"Macho Taco. They make the best tacos ever." Rachel said, as she rolled down her window at a speaker that said "Order here." Suddenly, a voice spoke through the little metal holes.
"Hello. How can I help you today?" the voice spoke in a slight accent that Ginny could not make out.
Ginny yelped. 'What an awesome thing! It talks when a car comes by. Dad would really be fascinated by this…'
"Um… I'll take 3 macho tacos, 2 nachos with cheese and salsa, and 3 cokes. That's all."
"3 macho tacos, 2 nachos with cheese and salsa, and 3 cokes. To-go right?"
"Si, por favor."
"That would be $11.49. Gracias."
There was a click, and the voice was gone.
"This is called a drive through. It's when you don't have time to get out and order inside. And the intercom was just a person from the inside speaking." Rachel said, turning to Ginny who was obviously perplexed.
Slowly, the car moved forward, and stopped at one window. A man inside wearing a goofy red sailor hat reached up and took a skinny slip of paper.
"3 macho tacos, 2 nachos with cheese and salsa, and 3 cokes, am I right?" he asked, as if he already knew the answer.
Rachel nodded and paid him with one green paper that had a big '10' on the corner and another piece of paper that had a '1' on the corner and 2 coins. "Keep the change." And she continued driving.
Ginny mouthed a 'wow' at how organized at so orderly everything here was. Draco smirked. "I thought your father was a muggle lover."
"Oh, you. Just shut up, could you?"
The next window, a woman held out a box and many packages of paper and flimsy cardboard with plastic containers. "Here is your order of 3 macho tacos, 2 nachos with cheese and salsa, and 3 cokes. Enjoy, and thank you for coming to Macho Taco." She closed the sliding window as Rachel took in the box and passed it to the back.
"Could you guys hold this until we get home?" Ginny took the box as Draco held a separate bag. She drove off and in just a minute, she opened the garage of a large house, about 3/4 the size of Grimmauld place. From the outside, it was huge, and had many stories of windows and curtains. There was a small garden outside, and a lawn with green grass. Again, a 'wow' escaped Ginny's mouth.
"Hey guys. Welcome to my house."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Taking me longer and longer to get to these stories. I mean, I get so much homework and it's driving me nuts. Ah!!! I have something to do everyday, and I'm so sleepy and tired, and… sigh. It's too much!! NO!! So. Yeah. If you even care… hehe. Anyway, I'm getting really really really bored. Writing the last part made me really hungry… Mmmmmm.. tacossssss… nachoooossss… yummy in my tummy I say. Okay. I'm really weird, but I get weird when I'm hungry so PSHAW!!!! Okay. So just the usual, give me ideas because I'm so non-original, and can't think of some creative way to write a chapter, and I use other people's ideas and oh dear. I should get eating. Bye bye!!!
