Ginny-
I walked up to the Prefect's common room and then in turn to my own room. It was almost eight, and I needed to grab my Potions book before heading off to Draco's room. "Wow, when you think about it, it sounds weird doesn't it?" I said to myself, and laughed.
I put my gently curling hair into a loose bun and put Everlasting-Lip Gloss on. I mean Draco is a guy, and he is hot! I smiled at the thought. He was like my best friend, besides Hermione. We had talked more in the last month, than I had in years. I know, it was kind of weird being such good friends with a Slytherin, and I think that part of me wanted it to be more. I grabbed my book, and headed out the door still wearing my school uniform. I started to descend on the stairs, but I saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron sitting on the couch. I ran back into my room, hoping no one had noticed me.
Damn! I had said earlier that I was wearing something skimpy, and if I didn't, they would figure out that it was all a joke. Man, now I had to go to Draco Malfoy's room, alone, in something skimpy. I am not the type of girl to wear something small. So the outfit I chose wasn't too bad. I picked out a camouflage mini-skirt, and a tight black tank top that showed just a little bit of my stomach. I also put on my black flip-flops, and a silver necklace. I decided on the Slytherin-typed colors because I thought it would make our little hoax more believable. I looked in the mirror to make sure that everything looked okay, and I had to admit, I didn't look half bad. I glanced at the clock. Shit! It was already 8:07!
I grabbed my book and flew down the stairs trying to go as fast as possible. I didn't want to set Draco's temper off! I was almost to the stairs that lead to the boys' dormitory, when something caught my wrist. I rapidly spun around to see Harry facing me, and Ron and Hermione were sitting on the couch whispering to each other. I looked back at Harry and opened my mouth to talk but he put his fingers to my lips to silence me. I looked at him shocked. I didn't like him that way. He was like another brother to me.
"Ginny, please don't go up there with Malfoy. I don't want him to hurt you. I'll go and kill him if I find out that he is tricking you into this!"
Harry's grip was unsurprisingly strong, from all his muscles from all his years of Quidditch. He removed his fingers from my lips. "Harry, I have to go, its no big deal, he is just my friend."
I admitted it? Damn! That wasn't supposed to happen. Then something else that wasn't supposed to happen, happened. Harry exploded.
"GOD GINNY, HE IS A MALFOY! HE IS AN EVIL PRAT AND WILL NEVER CHANGE. WHY DO YOU HANG OUT WITH HIM?"
He was
furious, but I had to go, looking at my watch, I noticed I was now
eleven minutes late. I looked back at Harry, and began softly,
"Harry, I have to go, I'm late."
He looked hurt. "Ginny,
I'm sorry-
But I ran up the stairs before he had a chance to yell anything else at me or grab my wrist again.
Draco-
Weaselette is late. I think I should go and check on her. Wait, why am I worried? Something inside me fluttered every time I thought of her. I could tell her almost anything, and just being around her gave me a floating sensation. She was so sweet, carefree and beautiful. I think I liked her more than a friend, but my father would never allow it, and I doubt Ginny would feel the same way now that she knew Harry was after her. I stepped outside the doors and crouched low at the bottom of the stairs so I was not to be seen. I heard Potter's voice.
"GOD GINNY, HE IS A MALFOY! HE IS AN EVIL PRAT AND WILL NEVER CHANGE. WHY DO YOU HANG OUT WITH HIM?"
There was a pause and then Ginny's voice came softly. "Harry, I have to go, I'm late."
That was my cue to get back in the room. I ran through the hall, ripped open the door and threw myself on my bed, and tried to look as though I had been there a while, and not eavesdropping.
