Chapter 7: Can't think of a good title
The next morning, Ginny entered the hall in a miniskirt and tank top underneath her small robe. She sat down at the Griffendor table next to Lee, and gave him a big, wet, sloppy kiss. Fred and George stared at the two of them, their mouths hanging open in shock. Draco glared from across the room, and shuddered at thought of what he had seen the night before. Hermione, Harry, and Ron, had not arrived yet, although, they would probably be just as shocked as everyone else. Ginny pulled away from Lee, and began to eat breakfast after saying a quick good morning to Fred and George. "When did this happen?" Fred asked, as he sprayed bits of food in every direction. "Last summer at the burrow!" Ginny said happily. "Yep, and we'll be getting married this fall." Lee said as he pointed to the ring on Ginny's left ring finger. The twins got up and left the Great Hall quickly, pushing everyone out of their way. "Thought that they would be happy for us!" said Ginny in a sad voice. "Don't worry honey, they'll come around. Here is your special tea i made you for breakfast." Lee said as he pushed a cup at her. "Thanks." Ginny said as she drank some and began to look away. "Oh, Ginny, let me see your eyes." Lee said quickly. Ginny turned back to him and asked "Why do you want to see my eyes." "So i can look into them as i kiss you!" Lee said as he leaned towards her. Their lips touched and Ginny was in love with Lee for the day.
Draco looked at them in disgust thinking 'Can't keep their bloody hands off of each other for five minutes.' Then Hermione walked into the hall, looking extremely exhausted, and Draco's attention went immediately to her. She slowly walked towards him and sat down at the Slytherin table. All the Slytherins glared at her and then at Draco, but he wasn't paying attention. "What's wrong?" He asked as he began to rub her back gently. "Two things, First, i know about Ginny and Lee now! Harry spent all night telling me! It's so sad! And look at them now! She's acting like it never even happened!" Hermione said as she looked at Ginny and Lee kissing across the room. "Well, somethings not right with that. What's the other thing?" Draco said. "Us! I'm tired of hiding it from all my friend's! I want to come out with it! Harry was asking me why you and i were together last night and i had to run out of the room so that i wouldn't spill our secret! I'm tired of sneaking around after dark! Are you ashamed that I'm your girlfriend?" Hermione asked. "No, Just, for our reputations..." "Stop caring about our reputations! Either tell everyone about us or we're through!" Hermione said as she got up. Then she ran out of the Great Hall with Draco close on her heels. Next, Harry and Ron entered the room, and their mouths fell open at the sight of Ginny and Lee making out at the Griffendor table. "What the bloody hell are you doing! Get off my sister!" Ron said angrily as Harry just stood in shock. Lee and Ginny, without saying a word, got up and walked out of the room, holding each others hands. Harry was still speechless, and really hurt as he watched them leave the hall.
Later that day, Ginny walked into Potions, and sat down at a table by herself in the front. "Miss Weasley, are you alright? You're acting really strange today." Snape said after he gave the directions to the class. "I'm fine professor, just in love." Ginny said dreamily. Draco, who had been trying to catch Hermione's eye, turned to look at Ginny. 'Something, i can't tell what, is just not right. First she's terrified of him and he's threatening everyone, then she's totally in love with him. Something fishy going on.' Draco thought. He wasn't the only one to notice Ginny's strange behavior. Some of his fellow Slytherins were staring at her in shock and mild interest. "So, you done her yet Draco?" One of the Slytherins asked. Draco continued to stare at Ginny, remembering the dare he had accepted a few days previously."No. And it's not gonna get done. Just give me a truth." Draco said. "OK, Do you like Granger?" The Slytherin asked. Draco turned towards him, and noticed that Hermione was listening intently. He decided to go ahead and take the plunge. Standing up on a chair he said "Why yes, i like granger. More than like, i'm deeply in love with Hermione, and i want everyone to know!" Draco said. Hermione looked as if she could kiss him, but restrained herself, since she was in Potions. The Slytherins all gaped in horror, then gave Draco glares for the rest of the hour. Harry's attention was still fixed on Ginny. He knew that he had to talk to her, had to know the truth, even if it was what he didn't want. When the bell rang, he pretended that he had dropped something, and purposefully, knocked over Ginny's books as he walked by to get the broom. She scowled then began to pick them up. When no one else was in the room, Harry walked over to her and said "I want the truth Ginny! Who do you love?" Ginny looked up at him and said "Harry, i'm so sorry i didn't tell you before, i love lee. He did help me last summer, and for that i'm so grateful." Then she left Harry alone in the dungeon, his heart breaking into a million pieces and killing him from the inside.
