Chapter 10
Black and Blue
It's time you open your eyes
And wake up to the morning
Today calls out your name
And I can never be the same
So Ron just came over to me and told me he wants to talk to me after dinner in the Common Room; he look pretty mad about something, but didn't tell me what. Hermione came over and told me that he had just seen Draco and me walk into the hall and wanted to kill Draco right then and there. Great. This is just what I need and interrogation by my older brother. Sometimes he takes his big brother roles too far. At least it's just him, if the rest of my brother's knew, I'm pretty sure Draco would already be dead. They can really over protective sometimes. But I guess that's what happens when you're the only girl in a family of older brothers. I really wish they would all realize that I'm old enough to make my own decisions and I don't need them to watch me anymore, I'm not five years old. I guess I should go back to the Common Room and get this over with now. I hope Harry and Hermione stay so Ron doesn't get too out of hand, and maybe I can see if Harry is jealous. Probably not though, if he asked out Hermione. Well there goes my plan.
Without you
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ron's sitting over by the windows, and good Harry and Hermione are with him.
"Hey, Ron. What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Are you going out with Draco Malfoy?"
Hi, how nice to see you too Ron, I'm fine thanks. Don't beat around the bush or anything, come on now tell me what's really on your mind, big brother. He's really irritating sometimes.
"Yes. Why?"
"Ginny, you can't go out with Malfoy?"
"And why not?"
"Because he's Malfoy?"
"Thank you that explained everything for me, maybe you should give me an actual reason."
"Well, A. He's Draco Malfoy. B. His father's right in You-Know-Who's inner circle. C. He's just not a nice guy."
'Well, Ron, I don't think it's up to you who I date now is it?"
"Ginny, you just can't go out with a guy like that!"
"A guy like what?"
"A guy that made fun of all of us for years, a guy who could turn to the Dark Side at any minute!"
"Ron, you don't even know Draco! He's changed completely and he's not going to turn to the Dark Side! It's a well known fact that he refused to join You-Know-Who."
"You don't know that!"
"Yes I do!"
"How?"
"I've talked to him, Ron, I'm getting to know Draco."
"Ginny, you just can't date a Malfoy!"
"Well, let's see what Harry and Hermione think."
"Fine, Harry what do you think?"
Maybe I shouldn't have done that Harry looks really uncomfortable, hmmm even a little jealous maybe? No, I'm just imagining that, he likes Hermione not me, sadly.
"Well, I think maybe Ginny has the right to decide for herself, but she should be careful." he stopped with a look from Ron, "Not that going out with Malfoy is a wonderful idea or anything."
Yeah, thanks, Harry.
"Hermione?"
"Well, Harry's right, Ginny does have the right to decide for herself and I support her decision."
"Thanks, Hermione!"
"Now, Ron, what do you think?"
He looks like he could throw a punch at both of them.
"I don't like it, but all right I won't kill Malfoy, unless he does something to you. If he does you have to tell me and I'll do something about it. Okay?"
"Fair enough. Now I think I should finish my homework."
Being drowned. . .
That's more then I could say for anyone else
I can't sleep
Cause it's only four in the morning
Well that went better then expected; I thought Ron would completely lose it. But then he is starting to mature a little, finally. I really don't have that much homework tonight, just potions, as usual. I hate Professor Snape; I wish he would stick himself in one of those jars filled with slimy whatever and store himself on the wall for all eternity. Well I better get started. Let's see, let's see well I need to look up the ingredients for the Anti-allergy potion, and explain their uses. Ok here goes. 'The first ingredient, cat fur, is used to represent all allergic substances that can be cured by the brewing of this potion. . .'
What time is it? 10:00, wow it's almost been two hours and one more sentence and I'm done! Okay, time for bed. Where's my bag? Under the table, yup, there it is.
"Hey, Gin."
What does Harry want?
"Hi, Harry."
"What are you doing?"
"Putting my homework away, I was just about to go to bed, I'm really tired tonight."
"Oh, I just wanted to ask you something."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Why are you going out with Malfoy?"
"Oh, well um, since he came back this year he's been a lot nicer to me and I wanted to get to know him. Why?"
"Oh, no reason, I was just wondering, but um be careful around him. I know everyone thinks he's changed, but I'm not really sure."
Are you sure that's the reason, Harry, or do you want to tell me something else maybe?
"Um, okay. Thanks, Harry."
"Sure, good night."
"Good night."
I think I ran out of dreams
And I can never be the same
Without you
Ruining my life
Well, that was weird. Harry really never cared about who I dated before. Maybe he is a little jealous. But then maybe he's just looking out for me. Yeah, it's probably the latter. Harry will never look at me as more then a friend, or worse his best friends little sister. Well that's a depressing note to go to bed on, maybe I'll read for a little while then go to bed. Yeah, reading always clears my mind. Hmmm, I've wanted to start this new muggle book I bought over the summer anyways. Where is it? Right there it is, "The Princess Diaries" The lady in the bookstore told me it was suppose to be really good, then she told me about how it was made into a movie, whatever that means. I always hated going into muggle store, but I need some new books that weren't about magic.
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yea
Being drowned. . . That's more that I can say for everyone else
How can you say that you love me?
I fell asleep last night reading, it's a really interesting book. But anyways, I have ten minutes to get ready for breakfast. I can't believe it's only Thursday. Well two days until Saturday. Wow, I'm actually excited about going out with Draco. Hmmm, who knew? Well I better get going down to breakfast. The Common Room looks really empty this morning. Well Harry's here.
"Good morning, Harry."
"Hey, Gin."
"Where is everybody?"
"Um, I don't know maybe a lot of people over slept or something this morning."
"Yeah, maybe, I'm going to breakfast. Are you?"
"Yeah."
"Alright then let's go."
Harry seems really quiet this morning. I keep asking him questions and he's giving me really short answers. I'm running out of things to say.
"Harry, is something wrong?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
We're almost to the Great Hall; I hope Hermione or someone is there so this awkward silence can end.
"Hey, Ginny!"
Draco just came out of the Great Hall carrying a covered plate.
"Hi, Draco."
I'm sure I just heard Harry groan.
"I'll see you later, Ginny."
"So, do you want to eat breakfast with me this morning?"
"Sure."
"Um, well to avoid some likely confrontations from both your house and my house, maybe we should eat breakfast somewhere else."
"Sure, how about on the steps outside the main doors."
"Okay, I um took some different things from the Great Hall."
"Good, let's go."
When the world around you is changing
How can you say that you love me?
When it's only eleven-thirty
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
