A/N-Sooooo… Did you like chapter 4? I already asked that didn't I? Oh well… Here's chapter 5! The song at the beginning that Draco's singing is called Wishing you were somehow here again from The Phantom of the Opera. I changed one word.
Love. A word that, according to Webster's New World dictionary, means: A deep and tender feeling of affection for or attachment or devotion to a person or persons.
"Wishing you were somehow here again. Wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here. Wishing I could here your voice again, knowing that I never would. Thinking of you won't help me to do all that I dreamed I could…" Draco sang softly. His mother had always said that singing calms a cold and soothes a broken heart. Now he may not have a cold but he sure as hell had a broken heart. So, thinking of her, Draco sang. He still held Ginny's hand; not caring that it was ice cold, not caring that she was… gone, to say the least.
That's how Ginny found him an hour later. He was asleep and he had a small smile on his face. Ginny smiled slightly at the sight. She heard voices and went to see what it was about. A group of first year Ravenclaw's was walking down the hall toward the infirmary.
"Ickle firstie got a boo boo?" Ginny mumbled quietly to herself.
Suddenly the procession stopped. Two of the Ravenclaw's were looking up at Ginny in shock while the others looked confused.
"Aren't you dead?" One of the two asked.
"Me?" Ginny asked in shock. How could they see her?
"No the other ghost… Yes you!" The other one said.
"Oh… Right… Back in a minute!" With that, Ginny flew all the way to Dumbledore's office. Luckily for her the staircase was just opening to allow some ministry person to leave. Ginny dashed up the stairs and stopped in front of Dumbledore.
"People… Can see me… Why?" She asked, trying to catch her breath. Flying fast was no easy task.
"I told you before that you have to hurry up and fall in love. If Draco sees you then all chances you have of being alive again are out the window. I had a second year come in here yesterday and ask me why you're not dead. Who else has seen you?"
"Ummm… A couple of first year Ravenclaw's, as far as I know," Ginny said.
"Alright, that's okay, just be more careful. Remember that Madam Pomfrey has a curtain around your bed, just hover in there and watch Draco."
Ginny nodded somberly and went back to the hospital wing. She looked around carefully and went over to her bed. Sure enough, just like any other night, Draco was still there. He had woken up while she was gone and was now doing his homework. He still had a small smile on his face and Ginny wondered what he was thinking about. She shifted down so she was sitting on her body. She looked back at her dead self's face and sighed. What she wouldn't give to be alive again. She looked back at Draco and wished her heart would hurry up and fall in love. Then she realized, it already was. Her heart was longing to know what its like to feel his arms around her; to know he would always be there. Her heart was longing for his touch, while her brain decided that it wasn't appropriate. She cursed her brain and closed her eyes. She saw the familiar vision of her and Draco. Her, waking up after being dead and Draco, being surprised. She could see herself explaining it and Draco confessing his love to her. Then she opened her eyes and she was still dead, sitting on the hospital bed staring at Draco.
Ginny sighed again and floated through walls and people to the Room of Requirements. She floated past the wall, thinking about what she wanted.
'I wand a place where I can curl up and die!' When she door appeared she floated through and found herself in her room at home. She felt tears pricking at the corners of her eyes and wished she was alive again. Sighing, Ginny floated over to her bed and 'lied' down on it. She closed her eyes and, just as she drifted off to sleep, Draco's face flitted through her mind.
A/N-Yah, it's short but I couldn't help it! I had to… And I already have the BEST idea for the next chapter :D Please R and R :D
