Obsession
Summary: Ginny Weasley finds herself fascinated with Draco Malfoy and is determined to figure out the mystery behind him.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, although, like many I wish I did because I could be filthy rich and everybody would love me. :)
A/N – I hope you realize that this chapter is just repeating sort of what happened in last chapter except Draco's point of view. It might also move a bit more into things; it's sort of the way I plan to do things, at least for the time being.
So sorry for slowness! Now, thanks –

Kerichi – OH, and about chapters getting longer, they might, if I have something I really want to get out, or the time, because for me at the moment time is a very big issue! Well really, lack of time.
Last Chapter
Draco realized that he might not actually mind this girl following him around despite everything being against her. That night he did not get an easy nights rest.
Chapter Eight
"You slapped Malfoy?" Ron greedily asked her, a look of pure delight covering his face.
Ginny nodded, but turned when she felt somebody touch her leg. She saw Hermione looking at her,
"You know Malfoy; he's probably going to tell Professor Snape about it..." Hermione said slowly watching her reaction. "He's had it in for Gryffindors, especially Weasley's forever, there's really no doubt he'll jump at this opportunity to dob you in Gin..." Hermione continued watching her carefully.
Ron paused, "Yeah but he provoked you right Gin?"
Ginny once again nodded, looking suspiciously at Hermione first. It wasn't like Hermione to point out something everybody knew, Ron hadn't noticed, because, he was well Ron, but it was as if Hermione was intentionally trying to get a reaction.
"Yes, but that's no reason for you to hit somebody Ginny." Hermione continued.
"Mione, its Malfoy! You don't need a reason to hit him!" Ron argued ignoring Ginny who was about to respond.
Hermione ignored Ron and stared at Ginny, "What were you doing with Malfoy in Hogsmede anyway Ginny?" she asked. Ginny couldn't help but smirk. Ok, so that's what she was doing. Hermione had asked that question to carefully as if it didn't matter, obviously Hermione could see something else was up.
Ginny smiled flakily at her, "Oh, you know, me and Luna were just looking around and he decided to take an opportunity to bombard us." Ginny replied"For no reason? Come'n Ginny, surely Malfoy had better things to do!" Hermione argued back, a slight flush growing up her face.
Harry frowned at them, stopping Ron from saying anything.
"Like he hasn't it the past Hermione! He just saw us as a good target! Besides, who are you to defend Malfoy?" Ginny evenly replied.
Hermione picked up a textbook and held in her hands for a moment before putting it back down, "Look Ginny, I just can't believe Malfoy would single you out without a reason, you've been different, and we have seen you following Malfoy around, why are you doing that?" Hermione demanded ignoring the bewildered glances between Ron and Harry. She whipped around and glared at them, "Just because you don't notice what Ginny's doing doesn't mean I don't!" she hissed at them.
Ginny stood up, "Ok, I have been. But you know Hermione; it's none of your business." Ginny shot back, then she faced Ron who looked appalled, "And you, don't bother arguing with me, it's not your business either and if you actually cared about whom I am friends with you would have made an effort earlier to find out!"
Ron watched her walk out of the room but called after her, "Wait! You're not friends with Malfoy are you?"
Ginny walked around the school not knowing exactly what she was doing or where she was going, all she knew was that she had to cool off. It had really gotten to her, the way Hermione had acted all superior, the thing was she didn't even know why she was defending Malfoy and that's what got to her the most. She didn't care about Malfoy, she was just interested in him, and it wasn't really Malfoy they were arguing over was it? It was more...
"Oh stuff it!" Ginny muttered to herself.
"You know Weasley, talking to yourself is never an especially good sign..." a dark voice drawled from the shadows.
Ginny whipped out her wand but withdrew it when she saw it was just Blaise Zabini.
"What are you doing lurking out here?" she asked him curiously.
Blaise smirked and leaned against the wall, "I could ask the same of you Weasley considering you're well out of Gryff territory..."
Ginny took that moment to look at where she was. The corridors were no longer smooth and well lit they were dark and the stones were rough and large.
"Yeah maybe...' she muttered darkly.
Blaise laughed. "Draco told me you slapped him today..." Blaise continued, his blue eyes staring at her.
Ginny fidgeted, she didn't exactly feel comfortable being around the Slytherin area after slapping the 'head Slytherin'.
"Oh it's ok Weasley; I find it rather funny myself..." Blaise declared, his eyes twinkling a bit. Ginny looked up at him, surprised.
Blaise twirled his wand around for a while, then saw the suspicious look on her face and tucked it in his pocket. "Draco has never taken being hit very well, I'm surprised myself he didn't go to Snape straight away..." Blaise continued, he then gave her a serious look and said, "You know Weasley, I know Draco pretty well and I don't think he is going to go to Snape"
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Oh right Blaise, and why do you think I'd believe you?"
Blaise's eyes twinkled, "Well beside the fact that I am devastatingly handsome, and we all know gorgeous people should be trusted, but I suppose it's more that I have no reason to lie to you."
Ginny frowned and continued walking around, not minding when Blaise followed her.
"...and I suppose I've also got my own interests with you..." he continued.
Ginny laughed. "What? Your own interests with me?"
Blaise smirked. "Well not you exactly..."
Ginny couldn't help giggle to herself. If she was right Blaise was referring to Luna who had been out of it pretty much ever since Blaise had introduced himself.
"Aww...does Blaisey boy like Luna?" Ginny teased. Blaise's eyes froze, "Never call me Blaisey boy Weasley! And my own feelings are my own business!"
Ginny laughed, "Oh Blaise, don't be stupid, they aren't when they concern a good friend of mine!!!"
Blaise scowled, "Oh sod off Weasley! We all know you like Draco!"
Ginny choked, "What! Don't be stupid Zabini, Malfoy is an egotistical jerk! Nobody could like that prat!"
It was now Blaise's turn to laugh, he whispered in her ear before leaving, "It is obvious, to me, at least for now, that you have feelings for my very good friend, and you know, I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't inform him of these feelings, now would I?"
Ginny gasped. "Don't do that!!! You know I don't like Malfoy! And if he found out I do, which I don't, but he's so up himself he'll believe you, you can't, NO Blaise if you DARE tell him, not that theirs anything to tell!"
Blaise shook his head laughing, "That made little to no sense Weasley but I get the drift, your business remains your own business eh?"
A/N – Oh god, I struggled so badly with the end of this chapter, it might take me ages to update this more reasons such as – I work a lot, I have heaps of schoolwork, I think I am sick, and I need the motivation. But anyway, if you could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this other one – shot I posted, Draco/Ginny of course, called 'Winning Mr. Malfoy"
Oh yeah, and review.
Cheers.
