Chapter 4

The Confrontation

Ginny was happily walked into the Great Hall with Luna for dinner. They had a great time working on their history project. For a while now, Ginny and Luna had been best of friends working through everything together because they were in the same grade. Ginny and Hermione had been close friends for a short time but they were just far to different to get along. Hermione was too conservative, orderly and far too narrow-minded for Ginny's liking. Luna, on the other hand, found chaos in order, was as radical as a witch could get and was open minded to any theories.

"I am so glad that we are doing this project together, Luna, without anyone else it would be simply unbearable." Ginny said sincerely to her best friend.

"Thank you Ginny. That means a lot to me. It is nice to know that you don't listen to my theories just to tease them or find humor in them. I find it kind of rude when people listen to me just to laugh and take everything I say with a grain of salt." Luna said with a dreamy smile.

"Yeah, since we became close I realized wizards are no better than muggles. They think they know everything about what's going. Little do we know there could be things out there that we do not know about simply because they haven't revealed themselves to us. It mind blowing." Ginny said in wonder stopping where the Hall divided into the rows of massive tables.

"Exactly" Luna said, happy that she could confide in Ginny and not be judged.

"Well, comrade until next time." Ginny said with a salute and walked to the Gryffindor table. Luna did the same and walked to the Ravenclaw table.

As Ginny ate her Shepard's pie in content, another fiery red head sat next to her. His glower immediately attracted her attention and she silently swore under her breath. Family could tell when there was tension more then anyone could and right now her older brother, by a measly year may I remind you, was radiating off rage.

"So, little sister," Ron said in a threateningly low voice. "What is this I hear about associating with a snake?"

Ginny smiled and said smoothly. "Ron I simply do not know what your talking about, I can speak parseltongue as much as you can speak Spanish."

"Don't you dare make a joke out of this, you know exactly what I am talking about." Ron sputtered angrily.

Ginny's good mood that accompanied her after her visits with Luna reluctantly vanished as Ginny began to defend herself.

"Well, Ron, I am not going to lie to you. Yeah, I did talk with Malfoy. Yes, it was a good talk. Oh sod off and stop looking at me like I shagged him." Ginny spoke venomously with a glare.

Harry and Hermione sat down next to Ron, wondering why he was not devouring his food and even more surprised because they walked in right as Ginny said 'I shagged him.'

"How do I know that's true? He has a whore at his side every week. Do you think that your going to be different? Newsflash, Ginny, once he's done with you, you're just going to be a notch on his bed post." Anger rising in his throat that he could barely keep himself in control of his words.

"Are you, you my brother, implying that I am a whore." She looked over herself without makeup, sweats and all her glory. She was so hungry and Luna was waiting outside the Gryfindor entrance, she just changed the nearest thing she found. It just happened to be some of Charlies old sweat pants from his third year yet they were still a little big on her and a Quidditch t shirt that dated back to... well lets just say they were old.

"Maybe. Only the sluttish and best for a Malfoy. Is that all you can amount to these days, Ginny, A godforsaken gold digger- " Ron said but was interrupted by Ginny slapping him across the face. A red mark resembling her small handprint appeared clearly across his face minutes later.

Within seconds her wand was out and directly pointing at his face. "Ron, are you really that thick? After what Michael did, I thought you would be smart enough to understand that I do not want a guy in my life right now or in the near future, maybe even never. Definitely not anyone from any house in this freaking school. So I talked to Malfoy, so curse me, hell I will probably talk to him again. Why? Because I rule my own life and make my own decisions. I am not trying to rebel against you, Harry, Hermione or anyone in Hell or Heaven or on Earth. I am looking for what I need to look for right now. And I found it in him, I found some understanding. You are either going to have to accept it or turn a blind eye to it. Hell knows, you do it for everything else in my life." Tears brimming in her eyes, she ran out of the Great Hall, her footsteps echoing the silence and loneliness that was held in her heart.

Ginny went by the lake to think. Although her fury was unleashed on her brother for making such asinine comments in the Great Hall. He said those things in front of the whole school for Merlin's sake! Sure she was not going to deny that she talked to Malfoy. That would be downright stupid, she talked to him in the middle of a Sunday morning. As crazy and insane as that action was, she did not regret it. She should not have to meet with someone in secret. After Tom, she was tired of doing things secretly and by all means she did not care anymore. It is not like she wanted to talk to him… she needed to talk to him at the time. He made her feel better about her situation. Talking to him was the perfect remedy to her pain. She no longer felt humiliated from Michael's stupid whore and finally she felt whole. He did that for her and she was grateful for that.

"Hey" a voice said from out of nowhere.

Ginny internally rolled her eyes in frustration as she recognized the voice. Couldn't she just get away from them for one second?

"Hermione" She acknowledged the older girl stiffly, silently praying she would go away.

"Why did you do it, Ginny?" Hermione asked the other girl that she thought was being really naïve and stubborn right now. "How can you even think to talk to him after how he has been to me all these years? To you? To your family?"

"We conversed Hermione, stop acting like we are dating behind everyone's back." Ginny said with a glare as she turned to face the older girl.

"How do we know that? Huh?" The older girl asked, her expression calm yet her voice showed the betrayal that she felt.

"Why would it matter? Hermione when was the last time we actually talked. And I mean heart to heart conversation not small talk or you ranting about the importance of education and studying."

Hermione opened her mouth and closed it and found that she could not think of a recent time.

After waiting a few minutes, Ginny spoke up scowling at the older girl: "Exactly, now when most people storm out of a room it is because they want to be alone. When someone follows someone that storms out of a room it is usually to comfort or support them? You seem to be doing neither in fact you are accusing me. So now, will you please leave."

"I know that your life is a sob story between Michael and your first year but really Ginny this is stupid-" Hermione started trying to find an explanation for Ginny's behavior. Ginny almost lunged at her wishing to bring the older girl pain for being so idiotic to bring up such a painful memory as Tom. However a pair of hands grabbed her waist and prevented her from harming Hermione as the person realized how much danger the older 'smarter' girl was in.

"Granger, shut up and stop dogging her. Now from what I see she requested you leave her presence." A male voice said from behind Hermione.

A/N-Well, I can assure you who the person who grabbed Ginny is not Malfoy... So who do you think it is? Well review and I will love you! A special thank you to:

My lovely sister: So what do you think? I hope you like the play were going to tonight, it is really good. Thanks for the review.

Visenna: No, Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I kept your first review in mind as I wrote this... You know how Ginny is in old sweats and no makeup...well that was for you.

Alexandria J Malfoy: I am glad you like it. I am really glad you reviewed. Thank you so much.

P3- I am glad you did not think this was a bimbo ditzy story. I kept your review in mind as I was writing this because honestly I don't want my Ginny to turn into a boy magnet bimbo.

Well review everyone and until next time.

Love,
