Chapter 11

Ginny and Kay had just gotten ready and were heading out of Ginny's room, they were going to meet Anna and Pansy at the ball. Kay was going with Seamus, Pansy with Blaise, Anna with a Hufflepuff named James Jorham, and Ginny with Harry.

"Wow Gin, you look beautiful." Harry said as he laid his eyes on her.

"Thank you." Ginny replied, this ball was the muggle sort of ball where girls would wear nice dresses and the boy would wear pants and shirts. "You don't look so bad yourself." she said sticking her tongue out at him.

"Thanks."

Kay left her side and linked arms with Seamus, Hermione and Ron where already in the Dinning hall finishing their decorations and setting up other things.

Ginny, Harry, Kay and Seamus made their way down to the Great hall where they had to wait until the door opened for them. The Great hall was packed with students some going alone others with some one at their side.

Ginny was sitting on a bench on Harry's lap, waiting for the door to open, Kay and Seamus where next to them in the same position. "I don't know if I want to go anymore." Ginny announced.

"Virginia Maria—"

"Okay, okay I'm going." Ginny said stopping Kay from say her full name.

"Can't sit by yourself, can you?" came a voice from behind Ginny, she turned to see Kit standing there and Draco was sitting on a bench.

"Jealous, since Malfoy wont let you sit on his lap?" Ginny sneered at the blond girl.

"Oh he lets me do a lot more then just sit on his lap."

"Shut up!" he said and walked away from her.

"My, my I don't think he dose." Ginny mocked.

Kit didn't say anything else just walked away to find one of her friends. "Will you guys excuse me for a second?"

They nodded at her and Harry helped her up from his lap and she walked away from them, she walked out side into the fresh air and made her way down to the lake.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing." she replied.

You and me we used to be together
Every day together, always

"Can we talk?" he asked.

I really feel that I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end

"No, we have nothing to talk about." she said looking out into the setting sun. She took the ring of her finger and handed it to him. "and I don't need this from you either." and with that she walked back towards the school.

It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real, well I don't want to know

"Ginny!"

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

"What do you want Malfoy?" she questioned.

Our memories they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands I sit and cry

"I need to explain this to you."

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No noo noo
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

"You have nothing to explain to me!"

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are

"Yes I do Ginny please listen to me."

You and me
I can see us dying, are we?

"No you don't, stop pretending like there is an us, because there isn't."

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No nooo
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

"And there is a Potter and you?"

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons

"No! And even if there was it's none of your business you made you choice."

I know you good, I know you good
I know you real good, oh

"No you made that choice for me."

Don't! Don't!

"And you didn't do anything about it, but go off with Miss Come and Get it! Hell you didn't even come and see him while I was half dead!"

Oh, oh
Hush me, hush me, darling – hush me, hush me, darling
Hush me, hush me - don't tell me 'cause it hurts

"What was I suppose to do?"

Hush me, hush me, darling - hush me, hush me, darling
Hush me, hush me - don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Oh
Hush me, hush me, darling – hush me, hush me, darling

"Like I said I don't want to talk about it!" and with that she stormed back to the school where Harry was waiting for her.

"Hi, so do you want to dance?"

"Sure Harry." she said linking her arm with his.

------

Draco was still down at the lake holding the ring in his hand, he was mad at himself for not doing anything about it, he was mad at the world for being like this, he hated love.

"Come on Draco the ball has started, I want to dance." he shoved her ring into this pocket and walked over to Kit.

Ginny danced with Harry and Draco danced with Kit the whole night, not once did their eyes meet, but when the other wasn't looking they snaked peaks at each other just to see if the other was still there.

------

"Ginny you should sing." Kay said as she made her way towards them.

"No Kay!" she said as she sat down on Harry's lap.

"Come on please."

"NO!"

"Fine." Kay walked away and towards the stage.

"No, no, no! Seamus if you don't stop her I will kill her." she said looking at Kay.

"I have just found out that some one in this school has a beautiful voice, and since it's the last song for the night it should be a slow dance, so would you please give it up for Ginny Weasley!" said one of the prefects.

"No! No! No!" Ginny repeated.

"Go on!" Harry said smiling at her.

Kay ran back and dragged Ginny up to the stage. "Kay I swear I will kill you after this!" Ginny hissed.

"What song are you doing to sing?"

"How about none!" she said looking at her friend with murder in her eyes.

"Oh that Prayer song that you were practicing."

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because that involves Malfoy he sang it with me." Ginny said remembering their practicing time.

"So?"

"Hello Kay!" Ginny said but Kay was off again and talking to the same girl that announced her.

"It seams that we need some one to sing with Miss Weasley, who will it be?" she asked.

Some of the guys stood up and waved their hands in the air, Draco stayed in the back avoiding every one.

Kay whispered something into the girl's ear and she smiled. "Mr. Malfoy would you care to sing with Miss Weasley?" she asked smiling.

He shook his head, and some of he guys gave him funny looks as in saying 'are you crazy look at her' 'dose your door swing the other way cause I'd do it even if I sound stupid.'

"Come on! She can't do it with out you." Kay said smiling evilly.

"I swear if it's the last thing I do I'll kill you Kay." Ginny said as she stood next to her.

Draco walked over to the stage giving up and just wanting the night to finish.

-----

Across the room Seamus was questioning Harry. "What is her favorite colour? Her favorite pass time, class, desert, and which one of her brothers is she closest with?"

"Easy, Green, Reading, Hermione got her into it, Potions, fudge, and um…I don't know…Ron?" he answered smiling.

"Wrong Harry, Its bluish gray, the colour of Malfoy's eyes, singing, Astronomy and strawberries and cream, and the closest brothers she has is Bill, Charlie and the twins, and Malfoy knows all of this about her, Harry you and her were not meant to be, she's meant to be with Malfoy, as much as I hate it but its true." Seamus said.

"Your crazy who do you know that it's wrong?"

"Because I asked her myself when Malfoy questioned me and I got all the answers wrong, her and Malfoy's answers were identical." Seamus said feeling sorry for Harry. "Look at them." he said pointing to Ginny and Draco that where both on the stage about to start their song.

(Ginny) "I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know"

"Don't you see how he looks at her when she doesn't know he's looking?" Seamus said to Harry.

(Ginny) "Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace"

"They look good together." Harry admitted

(Ginny) "To a place where we'll be safe"

(Draco) "La luce che to dai"

"Harry, Ginny is meant to be with Malfoy, even if we don't like it, I know even Ron sees it he just doesn't want to admit it."

(Ginny) "I pray we'll find your light"

(Draco) "Nel cuore restero"

(Ginny) "And hold it in our hearts"

(Draco) "A ricordarchi che"

(Ginny) "When stars go out each night"

(Draco) "L'eterna stella sei"

(Ginny) "Ahhhaahh"

The song finished and they once again were applauded like last time the only difference was that this time they weren't together, there was no Ginny and Draco.

"And that is a wrap!" the girl said, Ginny was feeling very emotional at this point all her feeling for Draco came rushing back to her and she didn't know what to do, she smiled one last time and left the stage and ran out of the Dinning hall.

She made her way up to the Astronomy tower and just sat on the balcony, everything seamed to reminded her of Draco and she wanted him so bad but she couldn't have him.

She sat there pondering over her love for Draco for hours and she didn't even realized some on came in. "Gin, we have to talk." Ginny wiped the tears and turned to face the owner of the voice.

"Hi-ya Harry, what's up?" he gave her a small grin and then sat next to her.

"You need to talk to Malfoy; it's obvious to everyone that you're meant to be with him. Even Ron sees it but he won't say anything." he smiled at her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Seamus asked me a few questions earlier while you were about to sing, and I got them all wrong, and then he told me that Malfoy got them all right, and I see now that you and him are meat to be." he looked up at the shining starts.

"Harry---"

"Gin, go find him talk to him, solve it some how, because it will eat you up inside and you'll become lonely and pull away from everyone so go on, and find him." he said still looking at the stars.

"But, Harry he doesn't want me, he wants Kit!" she said leaning against his shoulder.

"Gin, he loves you its obvious, everyone saw it tonight the way you to sang together, there was a lot of passion burning, and no one can make that love go away. Tell me Gin who were you thinking of when you killed Voldemort?"

"The people that I love." she answered looking away knowing that one of them was Draco.

"Your brothers?" he questioned.

"Well..." she hesitated.

"Your friends." he asked again.

No respond.

"Me?"

She said nothing.

"Draco Malfoy?"

"Yes." she whispered to herself but it was quite enough that Harry could hear her say it.

"You see, I had a talk with Dumbledore and he told me only great, true love could have killed him. So you see your love is great and true and you shouldn't care what is going on with him and other girls because that's nothing, he doesn't have eyes for anyone but you."

"Harry, you don't understand it's hard." she said standing up.

"It wasn't hard enough for you to almost give up your life for him, I saw what happened Ginny, the second some one wanted to hurt you he ran to you, and the second some one wanted to hurt him you helped him." he smiled at her and kissed her brow. "Go find him!"

She smiled and kissed his cheek and ran out of the room to go find Draco.
