LoyalRose: And last, but defiantly not least! Yes, on fanfiction, I see to be way more open with my..er…FEELINGS, I guess you could say. At school, most people think I am a cold hearted, bloodthirsty, deamon child…and I worked hard to get that reputation! Not many ppl piss me off much, especially with my goth friends behind me! Only. We're not Goths…so we like black, is that a crime? Very little people know that I like to write. Nobody cares enough to ask. Wow, I am sounding like a hopless, lonely freak, aren't I? Well, no worries, I am FAR from it. Just cuz I pretend I have no feelings, act cold hearted, and deamonish, doesn't mean I have lots of friends. I may not trust any one, but I am far from anti-social. I like to talk a lot and usually keep those around me entertained by being a retard! But there is this one guy…oh crap, I swear…one of these days, I'm gonna slug him so hard…grrr…bastard! Sorry…excuse my language…I am going through one of my deep, hatred moments…yeah…well, thanks for being there so I could vent! It was nice to write all that down! Please review again! I never update until I get your review!
A/N Whew! That was a lot of reviews! I can't wait to get more! I got new sketch books today!!! I love to draw almost as much as I love to write! But, where as, I let myself be proud of my writing, I am so much more critical of my drawings. My mother and my friends, and even my teacher, say I am a great illustrator, and I should try taking up art as a career. I would rather be an author than an Illustrator…writing is such a strong hold for me…while drawing…it just makes me happy…: ) anywayz! My sketch books are new, and SO amusing! I just can't stop DRAWING in them!!! ARGH!!! And I have home work to do!!! Also, I want to warn you, this is a pretty crappy chappie! Hey, it rhymes! It wasn't one of my best. I've re written it like, eighty times, that's why it took me so long to update. But still, it came out horrible. I guess I'm suffering from writter's block. Eh, oh well. The next one should be better!
Chapter 12: Hogsmead Weekend
Draco couldn't exactly say that shopping was his favourite pastime. He found it tedious, boring, and a rather big waste of time. But Chrismas would be here in two weeks, and whether he liked it or not, he had gifts to buy. Pansy had asked him if he wanted her to come, he had declined the offer, as he was going to have to get something for her. Blaise wasn't even going to Hogsmead. No doubt he had bought his Christmas presents some time in August and had them stashed away somewhere, waiting to see the light of day. He was comforted by the fact that he could count the number of friends he had on one hand, therefore, making Christmas shopping quick and painless. It had snowed for the first time the day before, so Hogsmead looked like a Christmas card. The silver white snow burned his eyes after the dimly lit castle. Its purity reminded him of his Kitten. A lot of things seemed to remind him of that little bint nowadays. She haunted him in his dreams, he watched her in the great hall, though of her during class, imagined her smile when he was feeling miserable. Not that he minded. She made him feel warm. As if a soft fire had been kindled in his heart. He remembered that day, talking to Zoe Macramé. He remembered almost saying he loved Ginny. He wondered now if it was true. He couldn't quite decide, so he settled with simply buying her a gift for Christmas and calling it a day. And he knew just the gift to get her. He smirked to himself as he stopped in front of the 'Petelus Animagnius.'
"Perfect." He breathed into the cold winter air. "Perfect."
Ginny scowled at Zoe. The stupid git wouldn't tell her what she had gotten her for Christmas.
"Comeon Zoe! Just a hint? Puh-leeeease?" Ginny begged. Zoe just smirked at her and shook her head.
"No way, c'mon, you still have to get something for Harry, Ron, Fred, and George! Not to mention a certain Slytherin…" Zoe teased. Ginny always had trouble getting things for Harry, Ron, Fred and George. Harry and Ron mostly because she wanted to impress them. Fred and George because she had to make sure the gift couldn't be used against her in the future…she had always been the main victim of their pranks. But what peeved Ginny off was that Zoe had just suggested the one thing she had been struggling with all day. Should she get a gift for Malfoy?
"Oh Shut up Zoe." Ginny snapped, her temper flaring.
"Oooh! Touched a nerve there, didn't I?" She teased, and before Ginny could subject her friend to a long painful death, Zoe left her standing there. Probably to go seduce some sexy, unsuspecting Hufflepuff. Ginny scowled and headed towards the Quidditch shop, where she picked up new, (fairly cheap) leather Quidditch gloves for both Harry and Ron. She then proceeded to the second-hand bookstore, where she planned on getting a History of Magic book for the twins. Once she was finally done getting something for every one of importance, she considered Malfoy. She had a fair bit of money left, mostly from the pet-sitting job she had done over the summer…something she was never going to do again…she was still recovering both mentally, AND physically, some people had very…interesting pets…She considered how embarrassing it would be if she got Malfoy something and he hadn't gotten her anything at all. She pondered on it, and then sighed, resigning to her impulsively 'good' side. If he didn't get her anything, oh well. It couldn't bethat embarrassing. She was going to have to get him a gift. And something nice…this was a Malfoy she was talking about!
A/N Yes, I know, pretty sad, but oh well. It will get better as time goes on. I PROMISE! You're just going to have to hold on and go for the ride!
