CH: 6 The encounter with?

The train came to a halt at the Hogsmead station all too fast. "First come over here, don't be shy now." came Hagrid's voice as Ginny got off the Hogwarts Express. Hermione finally joined up with the rest of the Gryffindors at the feast. The sorting was now over and the feast had begun.

"Guys, you'll never guess who is head boy!" Said Hermione as she grabbed a piece of chicken and put it on her plate.

"Who?" Ron asked.

"It's Malfoy!" Hermione said in an I'm-so-smart tone.

"How'd HE get Head Boy!" Ron asked.

"Maybe it's because Doumbledoor picked him?" was Ginny's response, but what she didn't realize was at that same moment, someone was staring at her.

"There's not a bed softer than this!" Ginny exclaimed as she plopped on her bed that night.

"Ya, I agree." Hermione said sitting on hers.

"Well, good night."

"night"

"Ugg, I have double potions with the Hufflpufs. Well, at least it's not the Slytherins!" Ginny said with an exasperated voice, at breakfast the next morning.

"Ya, we have Transfiguration with McGonagall." Harry paused, "Auuuuuug, and the Slytherins!"

"Tough luck!" Ginny said, "Well, I'm through! I'd better be off to the dungeons, and go to my torture session with Snape. See you guys at lunch, bye!" Ginny said, getting up to leave. Ginny was lost in thought as she walked down to the dungeons. She was day-dreaming about someone when suddenly; she bumped into someone and made all her books fall to the ground with a thud.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking were I was going and..." Ginny looked up and saw that she had run into Draco Malfoy. Time seemed to stop as they looked into each others eyes. His were so dark and cold and gray. They were so entrancing to Ginny. Like a black hole, she could just stare into them forever. For what seemed like centuries, but in reality was just a few minutes, they stared into each others eyes. Draco was the one to break the silence,

"Here, let me help you with that."

"Thanks." Ginny said helping Draco pick up her things.

"Well, I I have to go to class now. I...I'll s...see you around. Bye!" Ginny said rather stupidly.
