Chapter 18: Revenge?

Harry waited outside the Great Hall for Ginny while Ron and Hermionevwent inside the Great Hall to have dinner. He stood there for a couple of minutes thinking about the day when he heard yelling coming from the girls toilets. 'Ginny', thought Harry as he started to run towards that direction. He turned the corner to see what unmistakingly was Draco Malfoy with his back arched over and holding his crouch.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Harry yelled as he pushed Draco against the wall. His left hand strangling Draco's neck and with his right hand he held his wand which was pointed towards Draco's heart.

"I haven't done anything!" Draco replied quickly.

Harry's hand became tighter around Malfoy's neck.

"I swear Malfoy, if you even touched one single hair on her head, I will hex you into obvilivion!"

"HARRY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

Harry turned around when he heard her familiar voice. He looked upon the woman he loved and noticed another change in her. Ginny was smiling with her arms folded and she was leaning against the door frame.

"I didn't do anything, I swear!" Malfoy pleaded

"You wanted to though, didn't you ferret boy!" Ginny replied, still smiling.

Draco began to weep like a little baby. Ginny looked at Malfoy and laughed. He wasn't worth it.

"Harry, can you let him go? I wouldn't bother with him"

"Gin, do you realise it's his fault! He used the imperius curse on Dean.He deserves it!"

Ginny tok a deep breath in and smiled. She felt more at peace now then she had done in a long time.

"You know what Harry? I don't care anymore."

"What?" Harry released his grip on Draco's neck and watched him run away. He turned back to Ginny with a confused look on his face.

"What happened has happened. I can't change that, no matter how I would like to."

"But-" Ginny stopped Harry by placing a finger to his lips.

"Well I just realised that I don't want to be like Draco and go down to his level of pettiness. He'll get what is coming to him, sooner or later."

Harry thought to himself that Ginny had become very mature. She seemed to have grown in such a short time.

"You know, you are amazing Gin!"

Ginny began to walk away when she felt her face starting to blush but stopped to turn back at Harry.

"Oh and Harry?"

""Yeah?"

"Thanks"

Ginny walked back to Harry, got onto her tiptoes and kissed Harry softly upon his lips. The kiss lingered for a moment. Ginny pulled back slowly and smiled. She then turned back around and walked back towards the direction of the Hall.
