Chapter Twelve - Second Date
Draco slowly opened his door and knocked on Ginny's. He was surprised to see that she was yawning. He'd woken her up.
"Draco? Hi," she said sleepily.
"Hey, sorry to wake you," he replied.
"I wasn't sleeping," she yawned, "I was just resting my eyes. What can I do for you?"
"Well, I was wonderin' if you want to come along with me," he asked sheepishly.
"'Kay, just let me get properly dressed," Ginny yawned once again before shutting the door.
Moments later, the two of them were crossing the lawn to the shed. Draco muttered Alohomora and took out a broom. He took a look around before mounting the broom.
"Come on," he said to Ginny who was having difficulty trying to stay awake. Shaking his head, he helped her mount on. "Hang on."
"Where are we going," Ginny asked drowsily. "We aren't eloping are we?"
"No, of course not."
They went higher and higher. Draco looked up at the round moon. He couldn't really reach it, but they were close enough. He carefully shifted himself to face it. Ginny's head was rested on his shoulder.
"Hey, wake up," he demanded softly. He held her as she changed her sitting position so that they were shoulder to shoulder.
She stared up at the giant white orb. "Wow, I've never seen it so close before," she was wide awake now.
"Beautiful huh?"
"Yeah," she replied, her voice full of awe.
Draco looked down. "I couldn't ever give you the moon, but this is the best I could do."
She looked at him, smiling but shaking her head. She took his hand and rested her head on his shoulder again.
"I'd never need the moon as long as I've got you."
He leaned his head against hers. Something was happening to him that he couldn't understand. It was wonderful and it made him feel so warm. He'd never felt anything so strong. It was almost scary.
What does this mean, he asked himself. Why do I feel this way? Could it be... Because of her? He glanced at Ginny. Everytime he looked at her or heard her speak, he couldn't help but smile. What does it all mean?
"Thank you," Ginny mumbled sleepily. "I love this."
Draco nodded in agreement. They spent a few more minutes up on the broom, staring up at the moon.
From his room, Ron could see two outlined figures of people on a broom. He didn't have to guess who it was. He watched as they kissed. He sighed and took a look at his drawer. If only they knew.
He went to look at them again but they were gone. He had to do something soon. He couldn't let them fall in love. Never.
