Chapter Two: You Know Each Other?

"Draco, meet Ginny. Ginny, meet Draco. Now that that's settled, let's eat!" said Kate happily sitting next to Sean and looking at the menu.

Ginny andDraco were staring at each other, completely dumbstruck. Ginny could remember it like yesterday.

Ginny's memory.

Ginny walks in to find her boyfriend, Seamus, smooching Hannah Abbott in the library after Potions class.

"Why?" she asks.

Seamus turns quickly to look at Ginny, tears streaming down her face. "Ginny, please, let me explain," says Dean and he rushes over to Ginny but Ginny backs away.

"Why?" she asks again before she streams off to the Gryffindor common room and up to her dormitory.

A Few Hours later…

"Ginny… Ginny come out of there!" says Hermione's voice outside of her room. "Ron is really worried about you." She says.

"Go away Hermione!" Ginny calls back.

She then hears footsteps leading away from the door.

Later…

Ginny walks out of her room and to her secret room. She looks at the clock. 1:30 A.M. it flashed at her. She walks down the steps and to the secret room. She can always be alone in her secret room. She didn't think anyone knew about it, or at least she hoped no one did. She turns a few corridors and then a few more and she reaches the gargoyle statue. She spins the nail to the side and it moves just a little for her skinny body to fit into. She walks over to her desk and cries. She had been holding all her cries so she could cry right here in this very spot. Ginny takes out her quick spell pen and her precious diary and starts telling the diary what to spell out on the paper. She tells the pen to write everything, from when she seen Seamus to right here in the secret room. Little did she know, someone else was also listening?

"Hello?" says a male's voice coming from the other side of the room.

Oh no. Ginny was in trouble now! "I'm really sorry professor. I couldn't get to sleep."

A figure then stepped out of the shadows. It was just Draco Malfoy. But still! Draco could still tell Snape and she would be busted.

"Ginny? Are you okay?" he asks.

He had started to be a bit nicer ever since his father died. Everyone thought it was because everyone thought that Draco killed his own father and that that's why he's become nicer but no one knew for sure why.

"Draco! Um, I'll be going now. Please don't tell!" Ginny was about to rush toward the door but Draco grabs hold of her arm and kisses her and it later turns out to be a make-out fest. He ran his hand down her back and she ran her hand through his hair. After 5 minutes of it, Ginny finally realized what she was doing and who she was with. She decided she was only doing it because of jealousy but why did she love it so much? As much as she wanted it to keep going, it had to stop. "Malfoy, I got to go," she said breaking away and pushing him back. She realized she had taken off her robe and hurried to go pick it up. What did she think she was doing? Doing the guy?

Ginny took off running without a look back.

End of dream sequence.

She remembered that that was the last day they seen each other because that morning was 7th years graduation. She didn't attend. All that she had heard about it was that Draco won valedictorian for Slytherin.

"Ginny? You there? Earth to Ginny?" said Kate waving a hand in front of her face.

"Oh sorry. What were you saying?" asked Ginny.

"Ginny, this is Draco. Are you ready to eat?" Kate asked.

"Um, sure." She said sitting next to Draco. Was Draco going to tell them that he knew her already or was he going to not tell them? After a few moments of silence, she decided he wasn't so she was to play along with him. "So Draco, it's nice to meet you," she said quietly.

"Uh yeah. Same here," he said quickly.

After a few minutes of complete silence and absolutely no eyes meeting another persons eyes, Kate decided to break the awkwardness.

"So Draco. What do you do? I mean like, where do you work?" asked Kate. Anything to break the silence, she thought.

"I'm a photographer actually. I go to different places and take pictures for other people. I also get paid to take pictures of other peoples weddings and anniversaries and other things." Draco said. He hoped he wasn't rambling on.

"Oh. Interesting!" said Kate. Well Ginny did know Kate loved to get pictures taken. Especially of herself!

"Well it pays the bills." Draco replied.

After a few more minutes of silence, the waiter finally came. "You guys ready to order?" she asked.

"Um, yeah sure." Kate said after no one replied. "I'll take the shrimp platter. And a coke," she said.

"I'll take the steak burger and french fries with a Dr. Pepper," said Ginny.

"Same here but make it a Pepsi, please," said Sean, as he smiled brightly at Ginny. "Looks like we have the same taste buds, Ginny," he said and Ginny smiled back.

Draco looked over at Sean and Ginny and frowned disgustedly. He wasn't jealous but still, Ginny was his date! Whoa! Why did he all of a sudden care?

"Um, sir? What may I get for you?" asked the waiter as she tapped him impatiently on the shoulder with her pen.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll take the barbeque chicken with onion rings and an iced tea." Said Draco embarrassed that he wasn't paying attention.

"Ok. I'll get you your orders in just a minute," said the waiter writing down Draco's order on the notepad and rushing off.

After a few more minutes of silence Kate couldn't take it anymore. "Ginny, will you come help me freshen up please?" she asked.

"Oh no. I can wait-"

"Ginny, please?" Kate pleaded trying her best to get Ginny to follow.

Ginny looked confused as ever but she then realized what Kate was trying to do as her eyes widened and she finally got it. Kate wanted to have an all girl conversation so Ginny could explain. Ginny knew it. Kate smelled the tension in the air and she knew Ginny meeting Draco had something to do with all the tension. Ginny excused herself politely and reluctantly followed Kate to the bathroom, giving Draco one last look and little did she know, Draco was looking right back at her so she quickly turned around.

As Ginny and Kate reached the bathroom, Kate held the door open for Ginny and her to walk through. Kate turned around sternly and looked Ginny straight in the eye. "Explain," were her only words. Ginny knew she meant business.

"Explain what?" asked Ginny nervously, looking down at her feet.

"Ginny…" she said sternly.

After a long silence, Kate knew Ginny was hiding something big.

"Ginny, what's up? I know you're not telling me something."

Another long silence…

"I just don't have a good feeling about him is all," said Ginny.

"And…?"

"And what?" asked Ginny angrily but it didn't effect Kate any.

"There's more."

"Maybe…"

"Ginny, there is! Now tell me!"

There was yet another long silence and then a long sigh. "I know him Kate," said Ginny finally.

"You know him? Then why are you so nervous?" laughed Kate. She didn't know the whole story though, and Ginny wasn't about to tell her the whole story either.

"I don't know, Kate, I really don't know. He was an old classmate and I guess I just got nervous seeing him again after a long time.

"Does he recognize you? He didn't seem to notice anything to me," said Kate.

"I think so. Are you ready to go out there now?" asked Ginny, trying to escape the conversation but Kate caught her.

"Ginny, don't think your going to get out of this conversation. I'm gonna get some more facts out of you tonight because I know there is more!" said Kate. She didn't want to keep the guys waiting so she was going to settle the conversation tonight.

"Fine whatever," was Ginny's faint reply seeing as she was already out the door back to the table to get back to the boys… to get back to Draco…
