Chapter 5. Diary
Peacefully, she walked from the apparation point to her flat. She didn't notice that she was being followed.
"Don't you recognise me Ginny?"
Ginny turned around and looked straight in the eyes of her stalker. Her thoughts flashed back to when he had been this close before. She did the only thing she could possibly do at a moment like this; she ran as fast as she could towards her flat. She was happy that her flat was on the second floor, so she didn't have to dart up too many stairs. She heard her stalker following her and she tried to run even harder.
At last she reached her door. Quickly, she grabbed her keys, but before she could put them in the lock her stalker was behind her and he grabbed the keys from her hands.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
She started to become scared and decided as a last attempt to call Draco, hoping he would hear her.
"Draco, help, Draco!", yelled Ginny, but before she could call further a hand was pushed against her mouth.
"Be quiet you!"
Ginny hoped that Draco had heard her and that he would come. However, it stayed totally quiet.
"It looks like no one is going to save you now, love. And I'll say it myself, it would be a shame if something were to happen to you", said her stalker while he caressed her cheek.
Ginny could only look at him fearfully. Suddenly she heard her door opening and she saw Draco Malfoy standing in the doorpost armed with his wand.
"I would let her go very quickly if I were you", said Draco angrily.
Her stalker jumped up at the interruption. He hadn't thought he would be disturbed again. He looked right in the eyes of a furious Draco Malfoy. And that was a very terrifying sight. He let go of Ginny and quickly took a few steps back. Draco quickly walked towards Ginny and crouched over her.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, just make sure he doesn't escape."
Draco looked up and saw, to his luck, that the stalker was still standing there. He wanted to grab his wand, but when he took his eyes off the stalker for just a moment, he attacked and shouted a spell which threw Draco against the wall.
When Draco came around again he saw that the stalker had left and that Ginny was sitting next to him, worried about his health.
"Great help I am, huh?", said Draco.
"You made sure that the stalker left, and I couldn't have done that without you. Are you alright?"
Draco rubbed a sore place on his head.
"Yeah, I'm alright", he said while he slowly stood up and walked with Ginny back into the flat.
"Why did you called me Draco?", he asked suddenly.
Ginny hadn't been expecting that question. He was right, she had just called him Draco when she was attacked by her stalker. She was scared and it had happened automatically.
"Well, your name is Draco", answered Ginny calmly.
"Yes, but.."
"Well, I'm used to calling people by their name", said Ginny, "and I would really appreciate it if you were to stop calling me Weaslette and just call me Ginny or if need be Weasley."
"I will try it Ginny, but I can't promise you anything", said Draco while he walked into the kitchen.
When she heard Draco say her name, she felt really happy. She was falling in love with him but she knew that it couldn't be. He had been her enemy for so many years. Of course, he had changed, but still, she couldn't imagine how it would ever work out between the two of them. Besides, he probably still disliked her, so she had to get rid of those feelings.
That night Draco had cooked again. At first Ginny was very wary of eating anything, but after Draco had assured her that he didn't want green hair again, she decided to try it. The food was surprisingly good and to her relief she didn't get a face full of spots this time.
Later that night they were disturbed when the phone rang. As soon as Draco heard the sound he jumped up with his wand at the ready, prepared to attack.
Ginny had to laugh at Draco's behaviour.
"Relax, it's just the phone."
"The what?", asked Draco.
"The telephone, you know, the muggle machine I told you about", said Ginny while she walked towards the phone and picked it up.
Hermione was the one that called her. Of course she wanted to know everything about her stalker and Ginny told her everything, including that she was protected by an auror. She only decided to leave out the bit that the auror that protected her was Draco, knowing Hermione and Ron wouldn't have reacted too well to that.
After almost a half hour of talking she hung up. Draco, who listened to the greater part of the conversation asked, "You haven't told them about me?"
"Of course I told them about you, I just didn't tell them your name. I don't think they would react very well when they hear that their enemy from school has to protect me."
"I guess you're right", said Draco. "By the way, that reminds me that you still must do something for me", said Draco with an evil smile.
"I did say that, didn't I?", asked Ginny slowly.
"Indeed", said Draco.
"Well, what do I have to do?", asked Ginny, scared about what he would say.
"I haven't quite decided yet.
"Do you know when you will have decided?", asked Ginny.
"I will tell you tomorrow evening."
When Draco woke up the following day it was already quite late. He quickly dressed himself and walked into the living room where he saw a note.
Draco,
I've gone to the shopping centre.
Ginny
He put the note back on the table and returned to Ginny's bedroom when he suddenly saw a book lying on the floor. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was a diary. He also saw that it was secured with a muggle lock. He looked around again, making sure Ginny was still away. This was the case.
Carefully he opened the lock and to his surprise it wasn't protected further by spells or hexes. He started to leaf through the diary and made a few interesting discoveries. He found out that her favourite colour was yellow, and that her favourite flowers were tulips and that she hated roses. But what was much more interesting was that he found parts that were about him. So read he that she found him very good looking and that she had started to fall in love with him.
"That's interesting, Weaslette is falling in love."
Suddenly he heard the door falling shut. Quickly he shut the diary again and put it back.
"You didn't have to buy a lot, did you?", said Draco when he walked towards Ginny and saw she didn't have any bags with her.
"Huh, what?"
"Well, the note said you went to the shopping centre."
"Oh shit, I forgot."
"Forgot? How can you forget that? That was the reason you left, right?", said Draco smiling.
"Yes", said Ginny, "but then I met Harry and we drank something together and talked a bit. He invited me to go to dinner with him tomorrow together with Hermione and Ron. And well, after that I forgot that I had some shopping to do", said Ginny.
"Oh, so because of Saint Potter there isn't anything to eat in here."
"Well..., yes", said Ginny.
