Chapter 11: Romeo and Juliet

Ginny slammed her books down on the lunch table, earning her a confused look from the Dream Team. She didn't have a very good morning...the worst part was Snape had given Ginny detention for her lateness and deducted 5 points from Gryiffindor when she called him a 'bitch'; her back pack wound up ripping, she had forgotten to get Chris's work, and to top it all off she had just failed a astronomy exam.

Ginny was not having a very good day and it showed. Her red hair, which was in 2 chopsticks at the back of her head, was beginning to fall out, dark circles were forming under her eyelids and the look upon her face wasn't exactly the best thing to look at, at the moment.

Hermione was the only brave on to ask.

"Is everything alright, Ginny?" she asked concern in her voice.

"Oh yes Hermione everything is just wonderful" she spat, sarcasm dripping from her words. "Today has been the worst day of my life and you 3 just need to top it off."

Ron had opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off.

"You three," she said with pure hatred "have been ruining my life since I've gotten in to this fucking school. I used to think you guys were the best, everything, just plain perfect...but now I've opened my eyes and have actually learned to see all of your true colors shine! You're all pathetic! You don't even take a care in the world to notice me unless my life looks like shit. In my eyes you three are as worse as Draco Malfoy himself!''

"Ginny your overreacting-"

But Ginny rode over Harry's voice "I AM NOT OVERREACTING!! You three always have the attention, always get the glory the praise EVERYTHING!!! I can't take it anymore. I'm done with this. Leave me alone stay out of my life and don't ever come near me again." she said and picked up her books and stormed out of the great hall towards Gryffindor tower.

When Ginny had reached the Portrait Hole she finally realized that she had forgotten about Chris and ran to the hospital wing.

He smiled as she entered the wing and greeted her

"Hey I thought you forgot about me?" he said with a grin

"Hey I actually did. But it was the Dream Team really." she said. By the look on his face he wanted her to elaborate.

"All right. I've had the shitiest day of my life. I was late to potions and landed a detention with Professor I-Need-To-Wash-My-Hair. Then I failed one of my exams by a landslide-I'm lucky if I got 1 point on it. Also I'm really sorry but I forgot you work. Please don't be mad. I totally forgot and-"

"Ginny its ok. Like I want to do work anyway" he said.

"Thank you" she said "and finally the Dream Team had to make a dent in my day today and that pretty much ends up here."

She sighed and sat down next to him on his hospital bed.

Madam Promfrey entered the wing and asked Chris to follow her into her examination room.

"He'll be right back Ms. Weasley. Would you rather him stay here another day?" she snapped and pushed Chris into the room and slammed the door.

Ginny was stressed. Very much with all of the problems she was dealing with. She got up and sat on the ledge of the window across the infirmary.

She stared out onto the grounds of Hogwarts. It was a beautiful day out, not one to be doing classes on. The sky was crystal blue with a few traces of wisps of white. But even the weather could not distract her from anything right now. Not even the feeling she was being watched.

"What do you want Malfoy" she said not even glancing away from the window.

Malfoy was 2 beds away from the window on the right. His curtains were drawn but a sliver of the to white sheets did not touch. He pulled the sheets open and sauntered towards Ginny.

"You know if Chris comes out and sees you talking to me you're going to be in the hospital wing until after Christmas Break." she said tarring her gaze from the grounds and focusing it on him.

He looked perfectly fine, well as fine a Draco Malfoy can be, she guessed. Except for the state of his hair which, she was guessing, he had just woken up and did not have access to a mirror.

"I see you've learned to control what ever powers we have obtained" he sneered

"Yes." at least he was talking civil with her " what does it matter if I have or not. I just want them rid of."

"Well, want to know how we actually got these so called visions and telepathic communication" he said and then added "Nice conversation you had with the Dream Team at lunch"

Ginny's eyed flashed as she glared at him. She was about the start screaming at him when the examination door opened and Chris came out.

"She said I can leave," he said glaring at Malfoy "and what exactly do you think you are doing" he said to Malfoy.

"Having a conversation" Draco said simply giving Chris a smirk.

'Malfoy stop it right now'

"Ginny lets go" Chris said taking her had and steering her towards the door.

'This isn't over yet...Virginia'

The dance was tomorrow and no body could get their mind off of it. Ginny was having issues but nothing to serious. Of course about the little ferret. But it was nothing she couldn't handle. She was still dwelling on the words he had silently said to her while she was leaving the hospital wing. She kept trying to reassure herself that it was nothing to worry-

"GINNY!" said a very frustrated Mcgonagal from the front of Ginny's desk.

"umm..yes Professor?" she said sheepishly.

"Ms. Weasley, I have been calling your name for the past 5 minutes. Now Unless you want to hear my lecture in detention I suggest to pay attention and focus on my lesson and not on your own little world." she said

"Sorry Professor" Ginny replied.

"Now as I was saying-"

But the bell cut her off and the students bolted to the door and rushed to dinner. The headmaster was to announce their partners and none of the students could wait another minute.

The headmaster stood up and everyone became immediately quiet.

"Now, I all know that you are very anxious to know who you partners are and your costumes for the Halloween Ball. But I have to explain that there is no way you can get out of this. Who ever is your partner is YOUR partner. No exceptions. You signed on that line. Now since it would take a large portion of time to announce everything the teachers and I have written in letters the information you will need for tomorrows night."

The head master clapped his hands and thousands of owls poured into the hall.

A black tawny owl had landed in front of Draco. It dropped a black envelope and in a silver scrawl written Draco Malfoy. The owl took of and Draco picked up and tore open the letter and pulled out an orange parchment. In black scrawl it read:

To Mr. Draco Malfoy,
Your partner for the Halloween Ball is Ms. Virginia Weasely. Your costume couple for the ball is Romeo and Juliet, a famous couple of a playwright written by the muggle writer William Shakespeare. You shall meet Ms. Weasley in front of the doors of the Great Hall at 7:55pm on the 31st of October. DO NOT BE LATE!

At the same time a white snowy owl landed in front of Ginny. It dropped an orange envelope and in a black script written Virginia Weasley. The owl took of and Ginny picked up and tore open the letter and pulled out a black parchment. In silver script it read:

To Ms. Virginia Weasley,
Your partner for the Halloween Ball is Mr. Draco Malfoy. Your costume couple for the ball is Romeo and Juliet, a famous couple of a playwright written by the muggle writer William Shakespeare. You shall meet Mr. Malfoy in front of the doors of the Great Hall at 7:55pm on the 31st of October. DO NOT BE LATE!

At the same moment both Draco and Ginny looked up and locked eyes.

'No friggin' way!'
