Chapter 13. Over

Draco started to count in his head again: 3,2,1..

"Wait!", said Hermione.

Draco and Ginny turned around.

"Ginny, you're right."

Hermione turned towards Draco.

"I'm sorry Malfoy, we should have listened to you."

Harry and Ron looked surprised towards Hermione. After she had apologised she looked expectantly towards Harry and Ron. They, however, weren't planning to apologise.

"Harry, Ron, don't you have something to say to Malfoy?", said Hermione.

Both stayed silent.

"Ronald Weasley, if you don't apologise right this instant it's over between us!", said Hermione in a voice that looked surprisingly at that from Molly Weasley.

"But Hermione", said Ron.

"No but's", said Hermione.

Ron sighed. He knew that once Hermione had something in her head he couldn't talk her out of it.

"I'm sorry Malfoy", said Ron with a sour face.

Now all eyes were upon Harry, the only one who hadn't apologised yet.

"If you think I'm going to apologise you're all nuts. I've done what I think was best and if you don't agree than that's your problem", said Harry while he walked away angrily.

Ginny started to cry. This wasn't what should have happened. Hermione started to comfort her.

"Don't worry, he will come around."

Ron also walked towards Ginny.

"Come with us, we will bring you home."

"Draco are you coming with us?", asked Ginny.

Ron pulled a detested face after this question. That alone was usually enough for Draco to say yes. He decided differently however.

"No Gin, you go home. I'll stay here to make sure that the ministry doesn't let Crabbe escape again."

Ginny nodded and walked together with Hermione and Ron out of the hospital after which they apparated home. When she came home it was still the same big mess in which they had left it. She started to clean, but Hermione and Ron sent her to her bed. Something she was rather happy for because she was really tired.

When she woke up again everything was clean and in the living room were Hermione and Ron talking. Hermione was the first one who noticed Ginny.

"Hey Gin, are you alright again?"

Ginny nodded and got seated with them.

"I was just scared, that's all. I can't think about what would have happened when Draco hadn't arrived on time."

Hermione and Ron both got guilty looks. Their discomfort was broken when an owl tapped on the window. Ron stood up and opened the window through which a beautiful grey brown owl flew towards Ginny.

Ginny curiously looked towards the owl and carefully unfolded the note it carried. She started to read the note:

Dear Ginny,
Sorry that I wasn't able to bring you home.
I hope that everything is alright with you.
I would like to see you again.
Can you meet me on Saturday night at 8 o'clock in restaurant 'The flying plate'?
Love,
Draco

After Ginny had read the note she started to glow.

"Good news Gin?", asked Hermione.

"It's a note from Draco. He asks me out", said Ginny happily.

After hearing this Ron started to turn red, but both girls ignored him.

"Oh Gin, that's great", said Hermione, who although she still hated Malfoy saw how happy he made Ginny.

"I'm going to write back right now", said Ginny while she started to look for ink and parchment.

Dear Draco,
I would love to see you on Saturday!
-xxx- Ginny

Ginny wanted to give her answer to the owl, but noticed that he had already left. She sighed.

"Just my luck."

"What?", asked Hermione surprised.

"Draco's owl just flew away and as I don't have an owl of my own I can't send my answer towards him."

"Ow, if that's everything", said Hermione, "than pig can send him, don't you think Ron", said Hermione while she gave Ron a piercing look.

"Of course", said Ron although he didn't liked the idea at all.

"Good, than that's arranged", said Hermione, "if you give the letter to Ron we will make sure Draco gets it on time."

Ginny stood up and gave the letter at Ron.

"Thank you, I don't know what I should do without you", said Ginny.

Ron and Hermione stayed until the night. When they went home, Ginny went straight to bed. Ginny missed Draco's company and found it very still at home. She knew her stalker was captured now, but scenes from that day were still fresh in her mind. It was late until she finally fell in a uneasy sleep.

While Ron was driving home he suddenly got an idea and smiled meanly. His plan just couldn't fail and would make sure that Ginny and Draco would break up. As soon as he came home he immediately started the plan, and with a big smile on his face he fell asleep.

Draco looked surprised when he saw that his owl was back so soon. He was looking for the piece of parchment, but to his distaste he saw that the owl carried nothing. He sighed. The stupid animal had probably left before Ginny was ready with writing her answer. Now he could only hope that Ginny had received his letter and wanted to come with him. He should have went to her instead of writing such a stupid note. But he wanted to give Ginny some time to relax from all the recent events.

He stood up and decided to eat something. He just took a bite when he was alarmed through a hard thud against the window. He walked towards the window and saw an owl who probably had flown against it.

Stupid animal, thought Draco while he picked up the owl. He walked inside and noticed the piece of parchment the owl carried. Curiously he opened it and saw it was from Ginny. He started to read the letter but got while reading it a sad and angry expression. The letter said:

Draco,
I don't know what you were thinking but I'm not in love with you and I definitely don't want to go out with you. Now the ministry has got the stalker I don't need you anymore. I want you to stay away from me and I never want to hear from you or see you again. Leave me alone!
Ginny

Draco couldn't believe his eyes but it really stood there. Well, if this was what she wanted, she could get it, thought Draco angrily. I really don't need here.

------

That Saturday Ginny quickly went home after her job. She couldn't wait to see Draco again. That whole week she had looked forward towards this day. She had quickly decided what she would wear that evening: the evening dress she had bought together with Draco.

Although she had everything laid out and tried to do everything fast, she still had to hurry to be on time. At exactly 8 o'clock she entered the restaurant. She went to an waiter and asked which table was for Malfoy.

"I'm sorry miss, but there's no one who has reserved under that name."

"Alright, thank you", said Ginny.

She looked around the restaurant but couldn't see Draco anywhere. Strange, well, maybe he was a bit late. She decided to sit in the lobby and wait for him. After about half an hour she started to become restless.

She got the note form here purse and read it again. It really said 8 o'clock. After waiting for another long time she had had it. It was late and it didn't look like he would come. The fact that he hadn't reserved anything was also very strange. That meant that he never had planned to come at all. He had her coming here for nothing.

How longer she thought about it, how angrier she became. How could he do this to here, after everything she had been through. Angry and disappointed she went home. She thought that Draco, no Malfoy, had changed. But she was wrong. He was just as big of an ass as he used to be. She should have listened to Ron and Harry, they were right. She never should have trusted him. And than to think she was now in a fight with Harry through Malfoy. She sighed. She had a lot apologising to do.

The days went by slowly after this for Ginny as well as Draco. Draco had trouble to concentrate on his assignment because his thoughts were with Ginny most of the time. Ginny had the same problem and hated it. She didn't want to think about him any longer and she wanted to hate him for what he had done to her. But no matter how hard she tried, deep inside she still loved him.
