Not What You'd Expect
Celi: Thanks so much for reading! I'm glad you like it!
amrawo: it makes me so happy to see your review! Sorry I haven't updated so long I've just started role playing Harry Potter (what else?) and I've been super busy with that, but here's the next chapter all the same. Better late than never.
Chapter 7: I'm Not Going to be One of Your Sluts Draco Malfoy
The next morning, Ginny woke up to a loud snoring coming from the direction of Hermione's bed. Jumping out of her own bed, she tiptoed towards Hermione. Hermione was rolling over in her bed whispering something softly in between snores. As Ginny crept closer, she could distinguish the noises.
"Oh Ron, I love you so much!"
"No, don't worry, I don't think we'll creep Harry and Ginny out too much."
"Just shut up and kiss me again!"
At this last remark, Ginny burst into a fit of laughter. She couldn't help herself anymore. Hermione and Ron's crushes on each other were getting way out of hand. If this was Hermione's dream after so long, Ginny didn't want to know what Ron was dreaming about. She had heard him muttering these things in his sleep since third year!
Hermione woke up from the sound of Ginny's giggles. "What's so funny?" she asked while rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Hermione…you…talking…in sleep…Ron…Shut up….and….KISS ME AGAIN!" Ginny managed to squeeze out between laughs. She was quickly turning red and holding her stomach because it hurt.
"Ok Ginny, I think that's enough," Hermione rolled her eyes. "Just to let you know, last night your brother and I officially became boyfriend and girlfriend." She smirked at a now silent Ginny. "And we love each other."
Ginny's eyes widened. "Finally! It took you two long enough! What's your problem? How did you get him to ask you out anyway? Did the jealousy thing work?"
"No, I was a little upset when I found out Seamus only did like me as a friend. But, then Ron came in and I spilled my guts to him. He told me that "some guy" liked me, and eventually, he told me it was him. Gin, I don't think I've ever been happier in my entire life!" Hermione's eyes glazed over as she thought of her crush of 6 years.
Ginny shook her head. "Well, I have a bit of a problem…" she trailed off looking down.
"What is it?"
"Have you ever liked someone you know you shouldn't? Someone who's really bad and that you shouldn't even hardly be talking to?"
Hermione bit her lip. "Don't tell anyone this, but I had a thing Blaise Zabini in fourth year for a bit. I was actually hoping he'd ask me to the Yule Ball, but then Viktor did, so I decided to go with him. But I've always wondered what it would have been like to date him. Of course, I always liked your brother ten times more."
Ginny sighed and got ready for a stream of angry and surprised remarks. "What about Draco Malfoy?"
Hermione shrugged. "I'm sure I've had a fantasy or two about him, I mean, he's very very very good looking. That kind of attraction can't be denied, but he is so mean to me. Sure, a love hate relationship may be expected, but I don't know how it would work out. Draco wouldn't give me a second look anyway. Why, do you like him?"
Ginny returned her gaze to her feet. "Yes, he tried to kiss me yesterday in the library. At first, I couldn't help myself and I kissed back, but then I realized what I was doing and I pushed him away. I'm still thinking about him though. I can't stop it. I even dreamed about him last night. He was nice and charming and sexy as always, but he was not the cruel, evil person that he is really. I wish it was like that."
"You never know, Gin. He could change. It isn't impossible you know. I think you should talk to him today. See what happens."
"I'll try," Ginny agreed and she got up to go shower and get ready.
Hermione pulled herself out of bed and started getting ready herself.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
During breakfast, Ginny couldn't help but notice meaningful looks coming from Draco. She pretend to ignore them at first, but as they got more and more frequent, she couldn't keep holding herself back. The next time he looked, she met his eyes and signaled for him to meet her outside. He nodded a bit and got up and walked out.
A few minutes later Ginny excused herself to go "get ready for class." Outside, Draco was leaning against the wall, smirking.
"Couldn't get enough, Weasley? You just have to have more, don't you?" his words were conceited and at first, she was a little hurt. In the great hall, he looked like he wanted to see her.
"Actually, Malfoy, I was thinking. If you weren't such an ass, I would probably give you a chance. I really am attracted to you which I'm not going to even try to hide. But your attitude isn't very promising right now, so, until you change up a bit, I'm going to continue to reject you," Ginny answered defiantly.
Draco walked up to her and she backed away. He kept taking steps towards her until her back was against the wall. "You do something to me. And you will see how talented I am, and we will have fun," he said huskily.
She tried to move, but he stopped her. "I'm not finished yet." He pushed her back against the wall and kissed her passionately, energy flowing from his lips to her own. Ginny was completely aware now of what a talented kisser Draco was and went into a trance of sorts. As he continued, she moaned softly into his mouth.
Draco broke the kiss and smirked at her. "I know you want me, but this cheek will have to go. I'll be back later love. And I know when someone's enjoying themselves, so don't try to fake it anymore ok?" He began to walk away.
"I'm not going to be one of your sluts Draco Malfoy!" she yelled after him.
He turned around and laughed. "Ok mini Weasel, whatever you say."
