The Shadow
Chapter 5
--
Ginny's week went by without much happening, except Arwen bit Draco's ear, but nothing important. Saturday came and she got ready for the day. She picked out her favorite black pants with rips and holes in them and a plain white t-shirt. She put on some make-up (black) and put in her emerald nose ring. She grabbed her black robe and met with Travis in the common room. They made their way to the Great Hall for breakfast and they sat in their usual spots and Brittany came in a minute after them.
"Hey, Gin. I didn't see you yesterday. Where were you hiding? Hm?" Brittany asked, smiling.
"I was not hiding. I didn't do anything yesterday. And I had a class with you. You were just sitting with your boyfriend, Travis." Ginny said, glancing back and forth between Brittany and Travis.
"I was not! Travis is not! Om gosh Ginny!" Brittany said, while trying to hit Ginny from across the table.
"Sure, Brit, whatever!" Ginny said, buttering her piece of toast. "Oh look. The Owl post is here."
A brown barn owl swooped by and dropped a letter in Ginny's lap. "I never get letters. What's up with this?" she said, opening the letter. It was written in a very curly cursive.
I heard you're doing okay
But I want you to know
I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you... Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
I'm addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?
How long will I be waiting?
Until the end of time
I don't know why I'm still waiting
I can't make you mine...
"Well then. The guy didn't sign it? Weird!" Ginny said, rereading it. She looked up and tried to find any guy that was looking at her. All of them were either reading their own letters or talking.
"Oh Gin. Let me see it. Please!" Brittany said, snatching it out of her hand." Oo Ginny's got a secret admirer."
"What? Ginny, who is this person?" Ron said, stuffing his mouth.
"Well, Ronald. I would know if he had signed his name." Ginny said, glaring at Ron for entering their conversation.
"Well, let me see it then, Virginia. "Ron said, glaring back at her.
"Um. No, Ron. It is my letter and my life and you told me not to talk to you so I suggest you leave this conversation or else." Ginny told him, turning her back and starting talking to Brittany about it.
"Or else what? What does she mean, Ron?" Harry asked, looking at Ron then at Ginny and then back.
"Nothing. Its nothing, Harry." Ron answered, looking down at his plate.
They left the conversation there and went out of the Hall.
"So, Gin, who do you think it is?" Travis asked as they walked outside.
"I don't know Travis. Colin Creevey (a/N: is that how you spell his name? Please tell me!) liked me last year. But I haven't talked or even seen him since last year. I'm just not sure. I wish they would come out and tell me. That would definitely impress me, that's for sure.
"Well I doubt its Colin. He's going out with some one in Ravenclaw. Seems like she liked to have her picture taken." Brittany said, grinning like mad.
"Well, that leaves him out. I'll figure this out eventually. Let's just enjoy our Saturday off for now."
--
I finally did it. I wrote her a letter. And she liked it. But she thinks it's from Creevey? How could he write that? the stranger thought as he followed Ginny and her friends out of the Great Hall.
--
Draco sat up in bed. It was 11 in the morning. Well I definitely missed breakfast. Might as well take a shower. He swung his legs over the bed and walked to the bathroom. He got ready for the day and went downstairs and collapsed on the couch. He was dead tired. He had had Quidditch practice last night and no one was doing well on their brooms. He fell asleep there on the couch.
--
Ginny said goodbye to Travis and Brittany and headed up to her room to feed Arwen. She had saved some food from breakfast but had forgotten to give it to the kitten. She said the password and stepped inside.
"Arwen! Here kitty kitty!" Ginny called as she pulled the food out of her pocket.
"Weasley! Some of us are trying to sleep!" Draco yelled, getting up from the couch. He fixed his hair and straightened his pants. "The cat is in my room anyway. I'll go get her."
"Ok." She said as she sat down on a chair near the fireplace.
Draco came back down stairs, carrying Arwen. She looked and meowed and jumped down from Draco. She made her way towards Ginny and she picked the cat up and set her on the table. She licked my hand and proceeded to eat her breakfast/lunch.
"What time is it anyway, Red?" Draco asked, yawning.
"It's lunch time" she said, her stomach aching. "And I'm hungry. You coming?" Arwen jumped off the table and ran for the door.
"No, not you. Silly kitty!" Ginny said, scooping up the cat and setting her on the couch.
"Yea, I'm coming. Give me 5 minutes." Draco said while turning to run up stairs.
"Ok. Well hurry up then." Ginny called after him. She went to sit down with her cat and she played with her. She ended up getting bitten.
"Ok, I'm ready. Lets go." Draco said, headed for the door.
They headed down to the Great Hall together. Ginny entered and then 5 minutes later Draco entered. She went to find her seat with Travis and Brittany. Draco went to find Crabbe and Goyle.
"Hey Dracie" Pansy said as he sat down.
"Hmm" Draco said as he grabbed a sandwich and set it down on his plate.
"Aww.. Dracie! Why won't you talk to me? Why don't you love me?" Pansy said, turning to him.
Draco got a couple of napkins and wrapped up his sandwich. He turned to Pansy and said, "I love someone else. I think anyway." And with that he left the Hall, leaving a very mad Pansy behind.
He walked out of the Great Hall very angry, with Pansy and himself. He headed back up to his dorm then stopped. Instead he went out side to eat his sandwich by the lake. He sat there, eating in silence and soon laid down. He gave the giant squid the rest of his sandwich and soon drifted off to sleep.

"Well Ginny, have you thought about you're S.A. at all?" Brittany asked before taking a bite of sandwich.
"My S.A.? What?" Ginny asked, looking up at her friend.
"Duh, Gin! You're S.A. Secret Admirer is too long so I named him S.A." Brittany said.
"What? You did?" Travis asked, nudging Brittany.
"Yea. Travis helped." Brittany said. "Ok he thought of it. I had nothing to do with it," she admitted after Travis glared at her.
"Haha! Well good idea, Travis. And now some people won't know what we're talking about and won't but in." Ginny said, glaring at the back on Ron's head. "Well are you guys finished? I have an essay to right. Let's go to the prefect's common room. Mmk?" she said, standing up.
"Ok." Brittany and Travis agreed. They got up and linked arms with Travis in the middle and walked out of the Hall.
--
Draco got up from his grassy bed and made his way towards the prefect's dorms. What do you mean you love someone else? Gosh Draco you idiot!
