A/N: No worries my readers! This IS a D/G fic. You just need to sit and read patiently. Thanks for the reviews! Yay!
Ginny was sitting her Defense Against the Dark Arts class staring at her hair that clumped in her hand trying to pick out any odd colored strands, she found ONE white one. The nice moment with Harry had happened two weeks ago and her and Harry talked a little but not a lot. She figured out why she was there that night. She wanted closure. And that's all.
Finally the class was over and Ginny ran out of there not wanting to spend another minute inside the school. Ginny was walking around aimlessly for a while until saw a certain Slytherin boy.
"Hi," Ginny said.
"Well, look who's skipping classes." Draco fell in step with her.
"Oh well," Ginny shrugged. "I needed to get out. It was so stuffy in there," Ginny explained pointing to the school.
"I know." The leaves were still on the ground but now their colors were much more vibrant. "Today would be a great day for flying."
Ginny just nodded her head.
"You up for it?" Draco asked stopping in front of her.
"What? Flying? I'm not a huge fan of it. I fell off once and now I just do it when I have to," Ginny shifted her feet uneasily.
"Well, if you fall of the broom you have to get right back on," Draco demanded more than asked.
"I don't know," Ginny said looking down. Draco grabbed her wrist and led her towards the Quiditch field. He broke into the storage closet on the side of the locker rooms and grabbed out two brooms.
"Oh, you bad boy," Ginny said playfully. She smiled as he made a mock arrogant face, or was it?
"Now, get on," Draco demanded.
"Okay." She carefully slung one leg on either side of the broom.
"Now kick off." And with that Draco lifted up from the ground.
"Um, alright." Ginny really didn't want to do this but continued on. She kicked up only three feet from the ground.
"Higher!"
"No!"
Draco moved even higher. "Ever time you say no, I'll move higher!"
"So?"
"Well if someone sees you they'll blame you for the closet." She didn't respond. "You'll get detention!"
Ginny wasn't a fan of detention, no one was, but she still didn't want to go any higher. "No!"
"Fine!" Draco rose impossibly higher.
Ginny let out a long breath. Draco moved even higher. He shouted back down again, "I should've known a Weasely couldn't fly!"
Ginny was so infuriated by this statement, "I'll show you!" Ginny flew up to Draco with such speed that wind gusts made her eyes water. She had to get up there to kill him! She made it there and, when she did, she smacked him so hard that Draco nearly fell off from his broom.
"I can so fly!" She yelled defiantly.
"I knew that if I pissed you off enough you accomplish anything just to spite me." Draco laughed.
"Well, old hatred dies hard. Oh Merlin!" Ginny exclaimed as she gripped her broom noticing how high she was.
"Calm down. Just forget that you're afraid."
"I am not afraid," Ginny said defiantly.
"Good, I didn't think so," he responded a little sarcastically.
"How can you forget that you're afraid?" Ginny still had a death grip on her broom.
"Remember what flying was like before your accident. We'll start off slowly."
Ginny nodded and she flew parallel to Draco who was turning his over constantly to see Ginny's reactions. They were going slowly and cautiously getting exponentially faster. After a while Ginny regained her confidence and was trying her best to not look down.
"See? We're at a normal speed now. Are you still scared?"
"I told you before, I'm not scared!"
"Really?"
"I'm just….timid that's all."
"Sure," Draco rolled his eyes at her.
"Hey! I'm just as NOT scared as anyone!"
Draco laughed mentally at how easily Ginny would do something if it proved something to someone else. He continued to tease her by speeding up in jolts making her do the same. After a couple of times of doing that the two were in a race of sorts. Ginny was copying everything that Draco did. He would dive down steeply, shot up vertically, and go up and down in little spirals challenging Ginny to do the same. She did, and very well he might add.
Since Ginny was behind him her couldn't see that she was steadily declining. A feeling of panic rose up but he shot it down with his disciplined calm. He followed down after her and landed not long after her.
"Are you o-" Draco began but Ginny hit him with tirade of fists.
"You jerk! I could've died! Did you see what I was doing all the way up there! What the hell were you thinking?" Ginny ranted a bit more and then finally letting out a huge sigh. She ran her hand through her hand and paced a bit.
"It was great wasn't it?" Draco asked cockily.
Not that Ginny wanted to agree with she reluctantly agreed, "Yea, it was." She looked up from the sky and then looked down at Draco who was still smiling. Ginny was so pleased with herself! She had flown and not only that she had flown well! The happiness was spilling over and Ginny couldn't contain herself, she let out a scream and tackled Draco with an enormous hug.
Draco was so taken aback, literally as well as figuratively, that his arms flew up in the air then came down crashing around Ginny. The two of them did a sort of hug dance lifting one foot as the other foot stayed planted on the ground. Ginny broke from the hug by jumping back on her broom and flew off.
"Scared?" She screamed back.
Draco smiled and not being one to walk away from a challenge he got onto his broom and chased after her.
