Chapter 7

She walked back onto the pitch in her uniform, wishing that she could just go hide in a corner. But she knew they had to know. She wasn't sure what she was going to tell them yet.

Ron and Harry were waiting for her on the ground while Ron Harry barked orders to his team. Jeez, it wasn't that big of- okay yea it was a big deal. She was, she was what- dating? Well whatever it was called it was with Harry and Ron's enemy and that was a big deal. They frowned at her when she walked to them and she had the idea that they weren't just mad at her but disappointed. And what were the first words out of Ron's mouth? "Gin, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought you of all people would be able to keep Malfoy from getting to you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, but then she noticed Harry's face. "Harry, are you okay?"

He screamed so loud that she thought there was a good chance everyone in on the pitch and Neville who was waiting for her at the lake, heard. "I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME? IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME JELOUS?" He calmed down a little and said, "Because it's working."

Ginny looked at him uncomfortably, and Ron nodded. "See now Gin, you can stop this- he misses you." He smiled like that was something she wanted to hear all along.

Her mouth open she sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Harry smiled and grabbed her kissing her. Ginny sputtered and jumped out of his grasp, "Ewww." She said spitting. "Jeez Harry." 'has anybody ever told you you're a horrible kisser?' "Okay listen, I'm sorry that you're mad at me but eh…" she searched for what to say and then just shook her head. "But I don't care."

Ron looked at her scowling, "So you're seriously into Malfoy?"

"Yea, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"How long had this been going on?"

Hmm how long indeed, "Almost a week."

"A week, a week… please tell me when you were planning on telling me this?" Ron screamed and Ginny watched Harry slowly, sadly back away and then fly into the air to scream at a very unlucky third year.

Ginny thought about it. "I guess when he… got better."

"Got better, what is he sick? He's probably just faking it again Gin. You're setting yoursel-"

Now it was her turn to scream, "Ronald, shut your mouth. You are so stupid, he is not faking it, do you understand me?"

"Ginny, he's Malfoy how would you know." He said trying to reason with her in a much calmer voice- now starting to look worried.

"Listen," she whispered. "He is sick. I- I don't even know if he's going to get better."

Ron reached for her hand as she started to cry and walked her behind a stand, "What's going on Ginny?" he said patting her back.

She looked up with a tear stuck in her eye, "Have you ever heard of cancer?" he shook his head and sat down in the grass motioning for her to sit in front of him. She did her best to explain everything. "Right now he's going through something called chemo. It makes him sick, and kills some of the cancer cells. He can never be entirely rid of it," she said wiping the tear that finally fell down her cheek.

"But, is he going to die?" and she could see the troubled look in his eyes.

"I hope not." She said laying down and curling up into a ball with her eyes closed.

Ron lay down next to her with his arms behind his head staring up at the sky. "That's why he's so pale."

"That's why they all are."

"You know, I don't think it would be okay for you to go to practice, Harry isn't happy." He said looking over at her.

She opened her eyes, "No. I need this time. Flying calms me, besides I don't have anything else to do and I told Draco if he didn't sleep we weren't going… to see Myrtle."

He sat up with his knees raised, and put his arms on his knees, "Then make sure you stick up for me when I miss half the goals." He smiled standing up and helped her up.

In stead of yelling at her, Harry totally ignored her. So when he started yelling at Ron for missing a goal the only way she could shut him up was to throw the quaffel at him. He yelled at her a little after that but mostly stayed on the third year, who was getting much better, but looked like he was about to quit the team.

She ran up the stairs two a time, something about Ron knowing made her happy. She was half way up the stairs before she remembered that she was supposed to meet Neville at the lake. She swung around on the last step and fell down the last few, she picked herself up off the floor and started running again, slamming into Neville himself, on his way up to the common room? She took a deep breath, "Oh, hi." She said panting.

"Are you okay?" he asked worried.

"Yea," she laughed. "I just fell down the last few steps. I was just coming down to see you, guess what, Ron said it was okay for me and Draco to be together." She gasped realizing what she just said, she'd never told Neville about her and Draco.

He frowned at first because he felt bad about being left in the dark. The the brightest smile she'd ever seen took over his entire face, "That's great," he said hugging her.

She was confused, she knew he had been over her- they had broken up, but for some reason she thought he might at least be a little bit mad. "I have to tell you something too. Now that your… nevermind- but I, guess what I mean?" okay he was a little to excited, she could barely understand what he was saying.

"Eh, I don't know." She said smiling and happy that he was so happy.

"Luna asked me out last night." He said, "At first I didn't know, because I felt like I had to ask you first, but now that you've got Draco I know your over me and I can go out with Luna."

She laughed. "What do you mean, now that you over me?"

"Well, it was kind of obvious. I mean even after we broke up you still hugged me like you used to when we were together and you would kiss me whenever we left each other and I thought you thought that we weren't even broke up. I couldn't figure out why you were still even talking to me, when Ron broke up with Lavender she completely stopped talking to him." He said cracking each finger one at a time.

Ginny smiled and walked a little bit closer, "Nev, you do know that you are one of the best people in the world right? That Luna is the luckiest girl ever." She smiled as he blushed.

He nodded and then said to her seriously, "Draco too," he smiled.

She walked in smiling as she walked into the healers office. Again both were sitting at there opposite desks, doing their work. It was kind of scary being in there, I mean, if there was that much to do- she didn't know if she'd be able to have no free time on her schedule. "How long has he been sleeping?" she asked quietly hoping she didn't scare them, neither had noticed her entrance.

Both looked up quickly and then smiled at her when they saw her and smiled. Adams was the one to answer, "He made us give him a sleeping potion the second we got back, surprised us both. He normally had to be forced to drink one. As long as I can remember that boy has barely slept, it's like a phobia.

She smiled and left, flopping on her bed she fell asleep staring at him.

"Ginny"

"Och," both people screamed as their heads banged as she flew forward, eyes still closed, at the sound of her voice. She opened her eyes to see a fuzzy version of Draco on the floor holding his head. She jumped out of bed slipped on the rug in between the two beds and fell on her butt. Laughing both of them pulled themselves up onto Draco's bed.

"How are you feeling," they both asked each other at the same time laughing again.

"I'm fine." They both said again and this time they just looked at each other oddly.

Draco bowed in her direction telling her she could speak the next word first, "Do you feel like going to see Myrtle?"

He smiled, "Please." He said sitting up and setting up the talking charm again. "Have you ever noticed that they never come in here when we're talking?" he asked smiling. "I still wonder what they do in there."

"Actually, I think they seriously do work." She frowned. "Every time I go in there they're working anyway." She said making her bed that still hadn't been worked on yet.

Draco frowned at the door and the looked at Ginny, frowning even deeper he turned away from her, "Well, I think I know why… I don't really know why I kept this from you but, it turns out the dad ran out of meds at prison a few weeks back and- well supposedly he's going through the exact same thing I'm going through."

Ginny, who had been pulling a few things out of her bag, shot a look at him, "Why the heck would you keep that from me anyway?" she asked, this made no sense you think he's have been jumping for joy.

"Well, you know I thought if you knew that that was the reason I had missed taking mine you might… I don't know, I didn't know how you'd react actually." He said walking over to the medicine cupboard and taking out one of the smaller pain reliever potions… one for headaches.

No, she wasn't mad, she was worried. He drank the potion and coughed at it's burning flavor. She walked over to him, behind him, and wrapped her arms around him. He was so tall that all she could reach was his waist. He threw the flask on the bed next to them and grabbed his hands, stroking her fingers with his thumb he said, "What's wrong?"

She didn't answer just stayed there, not moving, hoping he would just stay there for a while too. He pulled her around front instead and wrapped her in his arms, in a hug. They stayed like that for a while- he ran his fingers through her hair and she rubbed his back, with her face in his chest. After a few minuets he pulled away and led her out the door, he walked them to the stairs and then she led them the rest of the way to the bathroom. She hadn't had a chance yet to ask Myrtle about meeting them at the stairs, so they had to go a few more flight then usual and Ginny could see that Draco was tired as they walked though the door.

"Myrtle?" Ginny asked. She dragged Draco over to wear she normally sat, a wall far away from the sinks, and they sat down. Normally she had her diary and her pencils with her, but they had left in such a hurry that she hadn't had time to get them.

A splash and then a Happy voice started "Ginn-" and then as Myrtle flew out of her toilets both people watched her face move from a smiled to a frown. Then she looked angry. "What are you doing here," then she looked at Ginny, "What is he doing her?"

Ginny frowned, "I wanted to introduce you two." She said calmly.

Myrtle looked even more mad at this. "Why in the world would you think that I would want to talk to him, why are you even talking to him?" she asked looking like she was about the explode. One of the mirrors started to shake.

Ginny was shaking too, but she was scared. Myrtle didn't get mad… she got sad… she cried, she could be happy and sad, not mad. Draco, who was holding her hand, felt her shaking and looked at her worried. He gripped her hand tighter and screamed. "Hey, stop it." He pointed to the mirror, as they both stood up.

This was not what Myrtle wanted to hear though, and the mirror cracked. Ginny shrieked and grabbed Draco shoulder with her other hand, squeezing, if a little to tight. He shrieked and pushed her off him, rubbing his arm. The mirror stopped shaking and Myrtle was looking at them both like she was again ready to cry. Ginny, not worried about the ghost any more, walked the step in between her and Draco and looked at him with a worried glazed look. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" She said taking the hand that had stopped on his shoulder and was not just covering the spot.

She held it again and dragged him back to the wall to sit down, now having the ghost full attention she said, "Myrtle, remember when we played truth or dare, and I told you that I don't trust easily." Myrtle nodded looking comforted by the words. "Well this an exception." She said with a smile. Myrtle looked, again, like she was about to cry. "Listen Myrtle…I've become really good friends with Draco, actually better then friends. And well, I just wanted to introduce him to my other best friends, you know like you and Neville." She said switching her legs so she had one tucked on her and the other in front of her.

There was a sudden burst of light in the room and three teenagers there froze. What was happening?
