Chapter 2: Falling For You
The next morning Ginny woke up, showered and then got dressed. Her hair fell perfectly on her shoulders. It was straight but yet curled slightly on the ends. She didn't have that clone look that most girls her age had that used hair straighteners. It was pretty early so she decided to head to breakfast on her own.
She was feeling rather cheery, thinking of the previous night, when she walked into the Great Hall. It was pretty empty but there were people here and there. She scanned the Hall and noticed that Draco Malfoy sat at the Slytherin table looking at her. When he saw that she caught him looking, he quickly turned to glare at his plate.
She smiled and headed to the Gryffindor table. The only person at her table was a second year who she didn't really know that well. She ate her breakfast quietly, knowing that she was in no rush. People slowly began to form at their tables. Ginny was almost through with her meal when Harry, Ron, and Hermione came and sat with her.
"Good morning Ginny," Harry said his eyes twinkling at her. Hermione soon followed with her morning greeting.
"Good morning!" Ginny replied. Ron nodded at her, still half asleep, but sat right down and started putting food on his plate.
"What are you all smiley about?" Hermione asked her.
"Nothing," Ginny said innocently. Hermione gave her a questioning glance and then turned to the Daily Profit that she receives every morning.
Harry and Ron were chowing down like mad dogs.
Ginny saw that Draco got up and left the hall.
"I've got to go get my books so I'll talk to you guys later." Ginny waved goodbye.
She went through the big doors leading out of the Great Hall and just saw him turn the corner. She tried to catch up with him. As she rounded the corner herself she bumped into him and nearly fell. Just as her head was nearly inches from the ground he caught her. He pulled her up gazing in her eyes.
'Why do her eyes hypnotize me like that? ' Draco thought to himself. He just couldn't look away.
As soon as she was on her feet he let go of her and the trance her eyes had once again put upon him, broke. He looked away.
"Thanks," Ginny said still shocked at what had happened. Draco had helped her.
They were silent for a few seconds. Draco broke the silence.
"Why were you tailing me anyways?" he said, snapping back to his old self.
"I was not! You just happened to be going in the same direction I was going."
"And where might that be?"
"To get my books"
"Really? Cause if you were getting your books you'd be going in that direction." Draco pointed in the direction opposite she was going. "Unless you just wanted to see me," Draco stated with a smirk.
"Uh yea, you wish." Ginny replied.
"Don't deny it Ginny. You fancy me. You fell for me," he said with a wink.
"That's because you were in the way! Who would like a ferret face like you?" And with that she turned sharply on her heal, but much too sharply. She fell back in Draco's arms.
"Told you," Draco said lifting her back on her feet. She jerked out of his grip and stormed out of there.
She was furious! 'He's so full of himself! 'She thought. 'Why does he have to be such a…..such a……Malfoy! ' She stomped of to her next class with her anger about to boil over.
