The Weaslettes Backbone
Ginny Weasley ground her teeth. She had an inmistakeable urge to punch Harry sqaure in the nose. As he's ex-girlfriend she knew his faults more than anyone, but this one was blatingly obvious. Today what annoyed her more than the 2 times she'd walked in on Harry and Cho in a compromising situation, was the way the Ass was treating her brother Ron, like a doormat, as usual. Ron didnt seem to notice, though his friendship with Harry kept him in touch with the woman of his dreams (litrally) so perhaps there was reason behind his madness.
Unable to take Harrys usage of her brother any longer yet at the same time family bound not to destroy what ever chance he Ron with Miss Granger, Ginny stormed out. Muttering about the stupidity of men she was so distracted she crached full on into some one dresssed in fine Slythren clothes.
" Watch were your going, Weasley." The voice that could only be one wizard warned.
Ginny scowled. " Drop dead Malfoy. As if id have any more contact with you than could be avoided."
Draco smirked. " Well if your head was on your body rather then day-dreaming about Potty coming back to you maybe you would have seen me." Then he looked her over. " Though perhaps not, with that Weasley brain in your skull."
" Maybe if your head wasnt so far up your own ass you would have seen me." she made a face. " Though maybe not. You are an inbred of couse."
Instead of responding with an insult, Draco looked impessed. " Hmm, when did the Weaslette grow a backbone?" He inquired.
" About the time the Ferret grew up." Ginny confessed moodily. She pushed past the tall boy, Making her way to the Great Hall.
Draco watched her go with amazement mixed with anger hed been out done. Perhaps he'd been overlooking the littlest Weasley a little to long.
It wasnt until shed reached the Great Hall and sat that shed fully realised what shed done. Shed out insulted Draco the worlds best. The thought lifted Ginnys spirits margenlly, that is until The-Boy-Who-Lived and followers entered the Hall as well. The dull thud of the same spirits hitting the ground was audiable only to Ginny, but audiable all the same.
" No dont worry Cho, Ron will get the drink for you, wont you Ron?" she heard Harry assure his bitch girlfriend.Ron nodded and headed to the kitchen. He paused as he passed Ginny and they caught eyes.
' Dont.' Ginny mouthed. Ron made a pleading face. In responce she only look discusted." Your pethetic" She muttered.
Shoulders slumped, Ron moved on in the direction of the kitchens.
When Ginny looked up again, she met Harrys eyes. The youth winked. Making a face she marched out of the Hall quickly. The urge to slog the prick fighting her control once more.
She paused in the Entrance Hall, wondering where she could go. Hermione would be in the library but Ginnys anger included her too. If she wasnt so dense maybe Ron could actually get away from his virtual slavery before it killed him. Hagrid would be no help either. Harry had him wrapped around his little finger. The giant dope actually told him about Ginnys fears that Harry was being unfaithful. Jerk.
That left almost nowhere for her to go for peace and quite. Then she remembered the place she had gone to cry over Harry when shed caught him snogging Cho in Hogsmead. As she headed to the room of Requirment, she wondered what shed ever liked about the git in the first place. It didnt shock her to find she could no longer remember.
She pushed open the door with a sigh. " What the Hell are you doing here!" She demanded.
" Could ask the same of you Freckles, though maybe i really dont want to know."
Uncotrollable tears sprouted. " Sorry to taint your presence Malfoy. Next time give a girl some warning and she'll stay out of your way." Ginny spun on her heel to leave.
" Wait, whats wrong?" Draco heard himself ask.
" Why? So you can tease me about it?" she asked witout turning around. " Id rather keep it a secret thanks."
There was a clunk noise as Draco put down his glass of Firewhisky. " Come and tell me you dolt."
Ginny slowly turned and through the tears Draco could still see her firery determination." I dont beleive you would keep it a secret." She told him. " I could never trust a Malfoy. Not after what your father did to me."
Dracos eyes flinched, that was all but it made Ginny move back a bit. Maybe she put Draco and his father in the same catergory for to long.
" Im not my father Red. I give you my word what you tell me will be kept a secret."
Ginny looked thoughtful, then finally smiled. " Do you have anymore Firewhiskey?"
Draco grinned broadly. It looked perculiar until Ginny realised why, there was no dislike in it at all.
" So Potty isnt such a goody after all." Draco commented. " Why did you let him treat you like that?"
" What could I do?" Ginny immediatly objected, obviously the question had been asked inside her mind alot. " I could never do that to Ron."
" Hmmmm." Draco commented. He was holding Ginny loosley from where shed leant on him and cried. " This is a mess youve gotten yourself into, isnt it."
Ginny nodded. " I can deal with it. I ... I just need to cry evrey now and again."
Draco knew that that was just her way of justifying herself for clinging to him like that, but he let her keep it. He himself had needed to retreat evrey now and then.
" Thankyou for not teasing me." She finally said after a quite long moment. " Im sorry im such a-"
Draco cut her off. " 1st rule. Dont ever apolagise. At least not in words."
Ginny raised an eyebrow. " 1st rule of what exactly?" She inquired.
" Getting over that prick the fun way." Draco grinned mischeiviosly. " Are you in for it?
" I guess so..." Ginny said obviously wary. " How?"
Draco stood up and held out his hand. Ginny took it and he pulled her to her feet. He led her out of the Room and to the Great Hall. " Watch." He offered.
Harry was no longer there and Ginny was greatful, but what exactly did Draco have in mind? How could she get Harry out of her mind here?
She was curious though, as to what Draco Malfoy did for fun. She hoped whatever he had planned wasnt some cruel joke on her. This thought another, more curious thought entered her mind. Why the hell didnt she think of this when she was cuddled into his chest not 30 minutes before?
She watched Draco stalk across the room to behind Pansy Parkinsons chair. He leant in and whispered something in her ear. Pansy laughed with mirth and stood. Draco took her hand and guestured for Ginny to follow. Frowning the griffindor followed them. They were headed to the library.
When Ginny got there a firm hand took hers and pulled her to one side into the aisle for Herbs. She made a strange noise and almost screamed until she realised it was Draco. He grinned, seeing her shock. " You were going to wreck it." He explained.
Ginny looked around. " What are you planning?" She asked. Draco put a finger to his lips and pointed over her shoulder. Ginny turned to look where he pointed. She gasped. Pansy was talking to Blaise Zabini behind Hermione and at the same time leaning close enough to drop a folded up peice of parchment into her pack.
" Its signed with your brothers name." Draco whispered in her ear. Making Ginnys spine tingle.
" What does it say?" She asked quietly.
" Something youll like." He promised. " I was planning it as a prank but from what youve told me it might be kind of helpful."
Ginny frowned. " Helpful?"
Pansy led Blaise off out of the room. Hermione soon sighed and lifted her bag onto the table redy to put her novel into. She paused obviously seeing the note. Ginny watched with intrest, a thrill overcoming her. Dracos face was beside her own, she could feel his breath against his neck, and found with surpise she liked it. Not that she liked liking it at all.
Ginny saw Hermiones lips moving and thanked Fred silently for teaching her how to read lips.
' My Hermione.' Hermione read. ' I cannot live another day without you. I can only hope that you feel the same way about me. Please, know that I truly do love you. Love, Ronald Weasley.'
Ginny shifted back a little as Hermione blushed. Ginny smiled, taking this as a good sign. She suddenly noticed how close Draco was to her. She also blushed. Hermione ran from the room immediatly, her bag and book forgotten. " There. Helpful." Draco told her. He didnt move though. He stayed perfectly behind Ginny. His breath on her neck like a welcome carress.
" Thank you Draco." Ginny finally said. " It was helpful"
" Why arnt we moving?" Draco whispered.
" I dont know." Ginny confeessed. Though she did know. Or she thought she did. She moved out of Dracos shadow and turned to look at him.
His emrald eyes were smiling." Ginny?" He asked.
Ginny closed the gap between them quickly. Draco embraced her with shock as her lips touched his and shock was drowned out by a bolt of pure bliss. Ginny nearly fell back at the force of it but found she darent break the connection. If she did Draco would look at the redhead once and either laugh at her stupidity or run away screaming, limbs flailing wildly ...(erm...sorry)
Breath solved the problem for her however and she returned her tongue to her own mouth and stepped back quickly. " ...oops. I didnt mean to do that." She said and rushed off.
