FIRST of all I'd like to say that I am REALLY sorry about having two chapters; my computer has been acting weird these past few days and I was really sleepy when I put that chapter in. SO SORRY!! Anyways, thanks so much for the reviews- SARAH, EMILY, and RED! If it weren't for reading your reviews, I wouldn't have known that I had made such a bad mistake. THANKS SO MUCH!! Ok, ONWARD TO THE STORY:
All My Life
Chapter Three
The next morning Ginny woke up with a throbbing headache, and only a vague memory of what had happened last night. All she could remember was that she tried to drink her pain away, and a man; a familiar man, who she just couldn't put her finger on who it was. She gritted her teeth against the aching and put a hand to her head.
"Where's my wand?" Ginny asked no one in particular and searched the room for her wand. She may have a hangover, but she did know a spell to make it go away. Although each time she moved she felt as if the world was spinning and made her headache even worse then it was.
"Ugh…" she groaned, "Where did I put it?"
She really did not want to search for her wand in this condition, so Ginny muttered, "Accio wand." In the blink of an eye her wand came to her hand.
Ginny silently thanked Hogwarts for teaching her that and pointed her wand at the top of her head. A mumbled spell came from her lips, and after a minute the pain didn't go away.
She looked in the mirror to see that she had accidentally said the spell wrong and turned her hair purple.
Oh, great, Ginny thought, trying to keep a clear mind. She tried the spell once again and this time it made her headache go away. The spell for turning her hair back to its normal color returned to her as soon as the headache left.
A reliving sigh passed her mouth and she took a look at her room to see that her room was a complete disaster; her wedding dress and ripped veil were on the floor along with her other clothes and things. Ginny realized that since she had arrived she never had the time to clean up and organize her possessions and clothes.
Everyone who knew Ginny Weasley knew that the littlest Weasley was very organized and liked to always have a schedule. She had learned organization and neatness from her mother, which her six messy brothers did not. Ginny is so organized, that before her marriage, she had her wedding and future all planned out; from which dress to where down to what kind of hair clip she was going to use for her veil. Yes, you could say that she was a perfectionist, but it was habit she couldn't break and she just liked living by a schedule.
The former Gryffindor looked at her mess and breathed in deeply, "Time to clean up." You would have thought that this had taken Ginny about an hour, but since she used magic it didn't take her very long at all, about seven minutes to be exact.
She smiled proudly at her now neat room; her stationery and hair accessories were put on the desk, her clothes were folded nicely in her luggage and her bed was made nicely. The only thing that was put in the closet was a white dress, which she did not want to see ever again.
After the clean up Ginny took out a white notepad and sat at her desk, writing her Things To Do List:
Things to do:
Eat breakfast
Do some shopping
Explore the ship for any fun activities.
She thought she was done, when she remembered something very important:
Avoid men- especially the one from last night!
When she was satisfied with her schedule, Ginny sighed and got ready for breakfast.
At breakfast in the large dining room, she found a table that was by one of the ships windows. She put a lot of food on her plate so to satisfy her stomach from last night as well. Ginny was just getting through her eggs and sausages when a man came to her table and sat across from her. He set a small glass cup of an orange mixture in front of Ginny.
"It's for your hangover," the man told her, settling into his seat. A puzzled look came over her and she looked at him to see that he seemed quite familiar, as if she had met him before.
Draco noticed her odd looks toward him so he spoke first, "I'm the bloke from last night." He made a throwing up gesture and pointed at himself. "You threw up on someone and that was me." Draco gave her a smile and she sneezed at his cologne once again.
"Exactly." He said.
She wiped her nose and it took her a few seconds to finally find her voice, "Last night was a mistake. I was a depressed about something."
"Ok, well, I'm Draco Malfoy, Ginny, remember me?" Draco said, trying to see if he would remember him. Well, of course she would, I did torment her family in school, Draco thought, but I also saved her brother and Potter during the War.
It was true that during the war Draco had saved both Ron, Ginny's brother and Harry Potter, Ron's best friend, from getting killed one night. Harry and Ron were both aurors, and were on a mission to find the Deatheater's secret hideout, but they had been captured. At the time Draco was to be said a Deatheater, like his father, but nobody except for a selected few in the Order of the Phoenix knew that he was actually a spy for Dumbledore and the Order. He freed the two aurors and fled the Dark hideout with them, blowing his cover as he did. From then on he had been a completely different person, working with muggle things once in a while and being nice to Muggle-borns.
Ginny knew him well, and never really believed that there had been some good in him, until last night. She looked at him and saw that he had grown and was different since the last time she had seen him, when he had brought Ron and Har- brought her brother home. Ginny saw that Draco's white blonde hair was no longer slicked back and was slightly tousled and spiked. His silver blue eyes were no longer cold and hard, but a bit warm and content. He was very handsome, she thought, but stopped herself, No, remember Ginny- avoid men!
"Yes, well, thanks, for last night." Ginny told him and stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Draco asked her.
Ginny pretended like she did not hear him and went in search for the souvenir shop. While he watched her go, leaving him with himself.
She found it five minutes later, by the main staircase. The souvenir shop was not at all small like she envisioned, it was big with clothes, watches, sunglasses (glasses that muggles wore to keep the sun out of their eyes) and other things needed for a cruise.
She was examining a white shirt that appealed to her, when she felt someone's eyes on her. On instinct Ginny turned around to see none other than Draco not far looking at her, but turned away once she had noticed him. A tired breath passed her lips and she turned back to what she was doing.
"Are you following me?" Ginny asked him, her eyes still on the shirt.
Draco looked around him, to check if she was really talking to him. Obviously, nobody but him had heard her question. "Who me?" Draco asked back.
Ginny nodded at him and went to look at the skirts that were of different colors.
"No," Draco answered, starting to look around the shop. "Do you notice that everyone here is with someone?"
Ginny turned to look at him, "Really? I didn't know. But that doesn't explain why you're here."
"Well, I would like company and since we are both alone I thought that you would welcome the company." Draco told her. That was true, being on a cruise by yourself was lonely and he did want the company.
"Look, I just want to have a peaceful week on this cruise, alone." She stated to Draco, emphasizing the part of alone to him.
He was crestfallen when she said that, but he tried to show no appearance of it. "Oh," Draco mumbled, turning to leave, but he turned back to Ginny, "But I still want company." He gave her a pleading look.
Ginny answered his pleading look by giving him a stern and warning stare to not start with her.
"Right," Draco backed away a few steps. He didn't want to know what other kinds of stares she could do. He smiled at her and exclaimed before leaving her alone, "Oh, and everything here looks great on you!" Draco winked at her and dinally left her alone.
The youngest Weasley simply rolled her eyes at his foolishness and went on with what she was doing.
Later Draco got ready for the opening night ball of the cruise that was being held in the main hall. He was wearing a button up dark blue shirt and black pants, and checking his reflection when he heard a tap on his window.
Who would be outside in the ocean? Draco thought. He went to his window to find that it was his eagle owl, Malaky, holding a rolled up letter in his beak. At this point he knew exactly who it was from, and opened the window to let his old friend in, only to take the letter and throw it away. He gave a glare at his bird, and conjured up a very special owl treat, waving it in front of Malaky.
"Malaky," Draco called. The eagle owl looked at its master and even more at the treat in his hand, "take this treat and don't send anymore letters from mother, alright?" Malaky gave a small hoot and a flap of the wings, as if to say 'yes'. His master smiled and gave him the treat. The eagle owl took it happily before flying off and into the clear blue sky.
He sighed in relief and was about to leave when he heard another noise, butit wasknock on his door. This time Draco knew it couldn't be his mother, so he opened the door to see that it was-
CLIFFY!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA….sorry, guys, but you'll just have to wait for who it was. Thanks again for the reviews and help. JUST KIDDING!!!! Almost had you, didn't I? hahaha Here's the rest of it:
The door opened to reveal Ginny wearing a dark red one strap dress that came to her ankles and similar colored shoes. Her hair was swept up into a bun, but a few red curls fell, framing her face.
Draco was very surprised to find her at his door, but gave a small smirk. "Are you following me?" Draco asked her sarcastically. She looks pretty in that dress, he thought, but stopped himself.
Ginny tried to give him a stern look, but gave up and sighed. "There's a dirty old muggle that keeps harassing me. I came here, because I thought that you would be more harmless." She told him, folding her arms.
Draco touched his heart in fake happiness, "Oh, I am so honored." He gave a teasing chuckle and followed her to the main hall.
Alright, this is the real end of chapter three. I hope you all enjoyed it. Now, ONWARD TO REVIEWS- TALLYHOE!!! pulls reins on a random white horse HI HOE SILVER!!! hahaha Thanks again for the help and reviews. Bye---
