Chapter Five
Days trickled by slowly as the leaves began to fall from the trees and the crisp scent of autumn was in the air. Ginny's eyes still lit up every time she saw Draco, and her heart leapt to the floor if he offered her a smile. As the amount of homework increased, so did her love for him, she thought, settling down with an eagle feather quill and a fresh scroll of parchment. She had an 18 inch long essay about some ancient battle between hags and goblins due the next day, and she hadn't started writing it yet. She turned on her radio, which was always set to the WWN, the opening notes of a familiar Weird Sisters song filling her ears. Leaning back in her chair, Ginny let the music wash over her for a few moments.
So if you're lonely
You know I'm here
Waiting for you
I'm just a cross-hair
Just a shot away from you
If you leave here
You leave me broken
Shattered I lie
We're just a cross-hair
Just a shot then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here
With you
I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say take me out
I stay you don't show
Don't more time is slow
I say take me out....
Ginny had never noticed the words to the song before, but now she realized that they sounded exactly like the situation she was in with Draco. She was sure that he was mutually attracted to her, but something was holding him back from taking a step onto the chessboard and making the first move. Being a year older than her, Draco would be leaving Hogwarts, leaving here, leaving without her, in a matter of months...Ginny snapped back into reality, finding that the song was over. With a sigh, she picked up jer quill, dipped its tip into her ink bottle, and started working on her essay.

Yeah, yeah, same old excuse, I've had school and writers' block. Sorry for the shortness of this chapter. The song excerpt is from "Take Me Out" is by Franz Ferdinand, though in the story I named it as being by the Weird Sisters. Why? Because Ze Franz are working on the soundtrack for the Goblet Of Fire movie and are possibly acting as the Weird Sisters for the Yule Ball scene.
