I'm sick. Slept a lot last night and got lots better! Yes! So I've been sitting in front of my computer doing nothing, and I decide to get to this.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Draco and Ginny stared blankly at the handsome guy in front of them.
"Er, this is Edward. These two are the people from London I told you about. Ginny and Draco." Edward smiled and waved. He had had on a plain white shirt and a clean pair of jeans. He wore a dark blue track jacket on top, and his dirty blond hair was mussed up and it fell over his eyes.
"We were about to eat… did you eat yet?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I had a nice dinner at home. I'll wait in the living room; take as much time as you need." Edward said, grinning once more at Draco and Ginny. He walked into the living room, and plopped down on the sofa.
"Where are you going, Rachel?" Ginny asked.
"Oh. I totally forgot about this, but I was going to go out tonight. Um… I could cancel if you want." She added.
"It's okay. We'll manage."
"Thanks." Beaming, Rachel ran up the stairs and closed the door to her bedroom. Draco and Ginny looked at each other and shrugged. They had suspicions that Edward and Rachel were more then just friends. Finishing up their last slice of pizza, the door to Rachel's room opened and she came out. Both of them gaped at her. She was definitely not JUST going out.
Her usual rich straight brown hair was a sleek curly chocolate. She was wearing the same light blue jeans that she wore when she had picked them up at the airport. Her pink spaghetti strap shirt was seen through her sheer long sleeve shirt. Looking warm in her cream colored corduroy jacket, she grabbed a sophisticated black purse and flurried down the stairs.
"Have fun guys. I might be home a little late so go on to bed without me okay? Bye!" She called out as she left the house with Edward.
"So, what to do?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk away

"And Malfoy has been giving you no trouble?" Hermione's voice rang into the receiver.
"Yes. He's been a perfect gentleman. How's Harry?"
"Is the girl taking care of you nice? Do you need help with understanding the place?"
"No, I'm fine, Hermione. How's Harry?" Ginny said slowly.
"You start school yet? Tell me if you need any help with the work. I'm sure some of it's going to be a bit tough." Ginny sighed. She was dodging the questions, and she didn't like that.
"Hermione. How is Harry?"
"Well, Ginny, the thing is…"
When Hermione Granger said that, Ginny knew that it was bad.
"He, well, saw some stuff. He's been talking a bit, but only to Ron and I. He's really moody and temperamental. It's starting to worry me…" Hermione said.
"What… what did he see exactly?"
"I couldn't make out what he said, but he mumbled something about you running away, purposely doing it, and said something like 'that bloody Malfoy gets everything he wants.' Or something like that."
Then, everything came back to her. He must have come back to say sorry, when he saw Draco embrace her! She needed to speak to Harry.
"Do you think… Could you… Is it possible for you to put him on the phone?"
"I don't know, Gin. As much as I love you, I'm afraid Harry's going to do something stupid and hurt you or someone else."
"Please? You've got to, Hermione. My love life depends on this."
"I don't know… I don't think…"
"Hermione. Please? I really love Harry."
There was a deadly pause on the phone. Finally, Hermione reluctantly told Ginny "Okay" and was going to Harry's room. Ginny waited on the line, gripping the cord.
Draco came into her room, and leaned against the wall. He looked dead sexy just standing there and his hair wet from a shower and a towel hanging from his neck. His gray and red plaid boxers made its way from under dark baggy jeans. Water beamed from his bronze chest, and he looked at her with his metallic eyes. 'Who are you calling?' he mouthed. She sat on her bed, stupidly staring at him. She heard barely audible voices from the other side, but she was not paying attention. Finally, she barely heard a "Harry, she loves you" and there was a voice.
"Hello." Harry grumbled.
"Harry. I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. I think I know what you saw, but I just want to say that I was so devastated that you left, and he was just comforting me. Harry, please, just give me a chance." She never lost eye contact with Draco. She felt like she was having sex with him without even touching him.
Harry hesitated. "Do you love me?"
"More than you know, Harry." She continued to gaze at Draco.
"Okay, then why did you leave me?" said very slowly.
"It… I said so Harry. You already know why." She felt her eyes water as she could not tear her eyes from Draco.
"I'm afraid that I do not know. When you come back, which I suppose won't be for another year or five, then I'll think about 'us' again, but for now, there is no 'us.' Now, unlike you, I'm very busy right now, so please don't call me or Hermione again." A click, and there was silence. She knew that he had hung up.
Draco walked over and sat down beside her.
"Want to borrow my shoulder?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I DUN WUN T BE AMERICAN IDIOT
DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH
HAHA! YOU HEAR THAT, BABY? DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH! THAT WAY FUNNY!
ONE NATIONAL CONTROL BY NEWSPAPERS
GET IT? HAHA! THAT IS SO FUNNY. I AM SO FUNNY! AREN'T I? TELL ME I AM, SWEETIE! TELL ME I'M FUNNY! HAHA!" Rachel stumbled into the doorway with her arms all around Edward. Edward seemed a little drunk too, but he had become sober quick trying to get Rachel here safely. She kicked off her shoes and fell into her couch. Draco came running down.
"What happened?"
"Ah, she got drunk. I told her not to drink too much, but she had some problems at the practice or something, and was getting bottle after bottle." Edward said. "Just give her some water, and she'll shut up. I've got to get going. See you later, man. Sorry about this. It's all my fault."
"No problem." Draco said.
"Baby, come back!" Rachel cried.
"I've got to go, Rachel. See you on Monday."
"Edward! Come on!" she whined loudly. Edward sighed and walked over. "She gets like this when she's really drunk."
She threw her arms around him and smashed her lips into his. She gave him a nice kiss before letting him go, Giggling, she fell asleep.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's time for school! Yay! Aren't you excited?" Rachel cavorted throughout the hall outside of Draco and Ginny's rooms. She skipped around until Draco came out of his room in only his boxers, and gave her a nasty look. Rachel stuck out her tongue and continued to sing.
"It's time for school, it's time for school, oh fun fun fun! Where learning goes and our brains turn, turning turning turning. Yay! School! Come on guys!"
Ginny came out of her room and gave her a dirty look, but both Draco and Ginny could not help but smile at Rachel's enthusiasm.
They hurried through the morning, getting to a brief breakfast, and no shower. When Ginny pondered in her enormous closet of what to wear, Rachel jumped in and threw her a black denim miniskirt, white shirt and a turquoise track jacket from a store called Hollister.
"No time for clothes, it's time for school!" and she whipped out her wand, and muttered an enchantment on Ginny, transforming her from the sleepy girl in pajamas into a hot and fired up girl in the trendiest clothes. Draco walked out in light baggy jeans and tight black shirt that outlined his toned muscles which Ginny could not stop staring at two days before.
"Yay! We're all ready for school!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Songs by Green Day- my favorite band.
Thanks for those reviewers who took their time to review my story. Next chapter, I'm guessing, will have their first day of school update. But don't expect me to update this week or next week, because I have a lot of tests, and I need good grades. I'll be getting to this groove during winter break.
Toodles!
