Chapter 3: He's not worth it!
"Harry! Harry!" Ginny was running as fast as she can so that she can catch up with Harry who was in a hurry. Harry stops and search for the voice that was calling his name. Ginny stops in front of him, catching some air. "Can I talk to you? Are you in a hurry?"
"Yeah. Is this kind of important? Coz I've got to go. I'll meet you in the common room tonight. But for now, I really have to go." Ginny sounded disappointed. "Oh…ok. So why are you in a hurry?"
"Hermione needs me. She said she needs to talk to me. Bye!" Harry runs down the hall not waiting for Ginny's reply. "Great…"
September 7,
It's Friday afternoon. Professor Snape cancelled the Potions class just awhile ago. He said there's something happened in his CLASSROOM. He said his class will be cancelled due to weird circumstances. But the sad part is we have to write a long essay for the Phanemora Potion why did he have to get that, of all potions? I mean it's really obvious that it's SELF-EXPLANATORY. He's really STUPID. Why did he have to be our POTIONS PROFESSOR? Dumbledore is DUMB for choosing him to be our professor in Potions.
Harry will be here. I'll be telling him the Draco-thing. I've never get the chance to tell Harry about it because were both busy on assignments and projects that was given by the professors these past few days. I've already miss him. I mean. Yes we meet down the corridors and stuff but it's different if we talk everyday. We never had the chance to sit down in the couch and talk about what's going on in our lives. Right now I won't let him be here for five minutes. But for now, I'll treasure every second were together.
Hermione thinks for a moment what she will write down again when there was a knock on the door. She placed her notebook and her quill on the coffee table and walks over to the door. She opens it, finding Harry holding his chest and he's breathing so hard. "Harry are you ok?"
"Yes but can I sit down?" he said while still panting hard. Hermione helps him inside and lets him sit down on the couch in front of the fireplace. They sit there for about twenty minutes when Harry broke the silence around the room.
"Are you ok?" Hermione was confused at his sudden question. "Excuse me? Am I ok? I should suppose to say that to you since you came rushing here panting so hard. Why are you so in a hurry? I mean. I didn't say 'run as fast as you can' just to arrive here! I just say to you 'can we talk?' and take note I said that with a NON-RUSHING voice!"
"But how can you explain the dried tears in your eyes? If you're not aware of it. I thought you were crying because there's something happened to you. That's why I came rushing here." He cares for me! Harry cares for me! Oh that's so touching! "Ahh! You care for me! There's nothing happened to me. Yes, I was crying because I was reading a book. It's a love story." Hermione gives him a hug. Harry was astonished when Hermione had said that. He tightens his hug. "Of course, I care for you! You're my…best friend." Harry backs away with a sad face.
"Harry, is there something wrong? Is there bothering you? You look sad? What is it? Come on, tell me." Harry shove off his sad smile and puts out a bright smile on Hermione. "Nothing. I just remember something but let's not get into it I don't want to talk about it. Anyways, what are we talking about?"
Hermione was relieved. "Oh, yes. I have something to tell you. You would never believe it. I mean you would think it's impossible but it REALLY did happen. It's kind of weird but I'm now used to it."
"What is it?"
"Malfoy wants to be OUR friend." Harry's jaw dropped. He shakes his head no. he wears I-cant-believe-this look. Hermione rolls her eyes. "Harry, believe me. It's true. I'm not putting a joke on you. He came up to me and said to me that he WANTS to be OUR friend. I forgot to tell you about this because I know were busy and stuff like that."
Harry came back to reality. "But, Hermione it can't be! He's Malfoy! The last person I would ever think that would ask us to be HIS FRIENDS! Do you think he's just playing something on us?" Hermione thinks for a moment. "No. He can't be planning something on us. He kneels in front of me, pleading to me that I would accept him to be his friend. I can see, Harry. He regrets all the things he has done to us in the past. I can see it in his eyes."
"So do you accept it?"
"No."
Harry was baffled about these things. "Why?"
Hermione sighs. "I said to him I cant accept his friendship just like that." Hermione snaps her fingers in the air. "I said to him if he really wants to be OUR FRIEND he should prove first that he deserves to be one."
"Stop crying! It won't do you good! Stop it, Ginny! Stop crying just for some FUCKING guy! ARGH!" Samantha gave up on Ginny and walks out of the room. She walks in the common room, searching for someone. "Meg!"
A face pops up from an armchair on her left. She had long blond wavy curls. "Why?" Samantha walks over to her. "Good you're here. We have a problem! Its Ginny!" Meg rushes in their chambers. She immediately opens the door. She sigh in relief that she was on time seeing Ginny was about to slash her wrist. She came running to Ginny and raises her hand. "Ginny, please put down the knife. Let's talk about your problem. Calm down."
Ginny throws away the knife. She places her hands on her face and starts crying again. Meg walks over to Ginny. She grabbed Ginny and gives her a hug. Ginny was now sobbing on her perfectly Gryffindor uniform. "Shhh…don't cry. It's ok. Everything's alright. Were here."
She pulls away and puts a reassuring pat on Ginny's shoulder. "It's ok. Don't you ever do that again. You scared us! Look at me in the eye." Ginny looks up at her. "Promise me, you'll never do that again!"
Ginny replies with a soft tone on her voice. "I promise."
Samantha picks up the knife that was under the chair. She goes to the bathroom door and locks it behind her so that Ginny would never know where she put the knife. She reached for the top of the wide glass of their bathroom. She found that there was a space behind the mirror. She puts there the knife. Ginny would never get that knife again because she's so small she can't reach it, she thought. She exits the bathroom and sits on the other side of Ginny's bed.
"Now. Tell me, Ginny. What did he do to you? Is he cheating on you? Did he hurt you? Is he gay? Does he still love you or not? Who is he? I mean" Ginny was bewildered by these questions that was coming on Meg's mouth. "Stop!" She puts her hands on Meg's mouth to stop her from talking. Meg stopped. "He isn't EVEN MY BOYFRIEND. That's the problem! I CAN'T have him, Meg. And it's driving me crazy!" Ginny was now standing, holding her hair and was thinking madly. "Meg, I don't know what to do! He's in love with another girl! I want to solve this FUCKING PROBLEM! But I cant because I know that whatever I would do to him to love me back; hell never change his mind on loving THIS GIRL!" She was crying so hard. "I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVING HIM. I"
SLAP
Meg slapped Ginny in the face. Ginny holds her face, it was hot. She can't believe that Meg slapped her. She glares at Meg. "Ginny, I just did that so that you would calm yourself down. Please, it will do no good if you cry all the time you got hurt. I'm sorry if I slapped you on the face. It's the only way I know you would stop. Ginny who is he?"
Ginny looks down. "Its Harry…" She said it as if she was just mumbling some words on herself. Samantha and Meg were so shocked at what Ginny said. They didn't know what to say to her. "I know it's REALLY IMPOSSIBLE! But I can't help falling in love with HIM."
"I don't believe this! I REALLY DON'T! Didn't you know that harry is the type of guy that EVERYONE…including gay guys…LIKES and LOVES!" Meg was slapping the 'REALITY' on Ginny's face. And she knew it but she tries to throw it away and deny it to herself. "Ginny, he's NOT WORTH IT. I'm telling you, girl. There are so many guys there," Meg motions her hands outside the window. "who DESERVES YOU! You're beautiful, girl! Any guy can throw themselves at you." Ginny wipes her tears away and smiled at her friend's compliment about herself.
"Thanks, Meg. You're the best!" She hugs Meg tightly. "Hey, what about me? I called Meg to get in here!" Samantha pouted. Ginny and Meg smiled at each other and walks over to Samantha. "Of course, I can't forget about you! Thanks too! Now, GROUP HUG!" They all giggled and had a group hug.
After talking with Harry and sending him off to Gryffindor tower, Hermione proceeds to the bathroom for some 'relaxation time'. She enters the bathroom. She walks over to the cabinet to get the bubble bath wash. The bottle said 'WATERMELON BLAST'. It has a color of pink roses and it smells sweet, that's why she always use it to relax. She pours it on to the bathtub and starts undressing herself. She steps into it and she leans on of the side of the bathtub. Hermione closes her eyes and starts to relax.
Harry was facing back and forth inside the common room. He was getting impatient for waiting for Ginny. Where has she been? I've been waiting here for an hour already. Where is she? Samantha was walking towards the portrait when she found Harry. She stops when she passed Harry. She turns around and walks over to Harry. "Hey, do you want or need something?"
"I don't want or need anything. I…do you see Ginny around?"
"Oh…Ginny…she's in our chamber. What do you need from her?" Harry scratches his head and thinks for a bit. "Can you tell her"
"Tell her what?" Ginny appears at the foot of the upper staircase. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and leans against the cold stone wall. "Oh…you're here. Good! Because I've been waiting here for AN HOUR! Ginny what is it that you want to talk about? I've got some things to do! TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!" Harry was furious.
Ginny cocks her head on the side. "So its my fault? That I've let YOU, HARRY JAMES POTTER…WATING? Don't you want to ask me? WHAT IS LIKE WAITING FOR SOMEONE!" Ginny spats at him.
Harry walks over to her and grabs her at her arm. He was now dragging Ginny out of the common room. "LET ME GO!" Harry lets go of her arm. She touched her arm to soothe it. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
Ginny looks down her feet. "Nothing. I've got to go." She turns around to walk towards the left hall but Harry stopped her. Ginny glares at him. "I know you, Ginny. There's something bothering you. I can see it in your eyes. What is it?"
Ginny pulls her hands from Harry's hold. "You don't know me, Harry." She shakes her head. "How can you say that you know me? You don't even know WHAT I FEEL!" Ginny has tears trickling down her face so she decides to leave him in the corridor…alone and confused.
Hermione opens her eyes. There's someone in here. She looks around the bathroom. There's no one in here. She picks up the towel that was hanging from the pole in front of her and stands up. After securing the towel on her body, she jumps out of the bathtub. Hermione approached the mirror. It was a big rectangular mirror with gold frame in the sides of it. She looks at herself. My face is SWOLLEN…or worst…SCARY! I look like an old-maiden with forty cats in her house! I have eye-bugs, wrinkles, and lines on my forehead and my lips are dry! I need something to do with MY FACE! Hermione shrugs. I should call for the GIRLS to have some make over. Looking at her face for the last time, she sighs for a long time and turns around just to see Draco. He was standing at the door, looking at Hermione with 'shock' expression on his face.
Hermione urgently wraps her arms around her upper body. "Don't you know how to knock? You scared me!" she looks angry. "I'm sorry, Hermione." She rolls her eyes and thought, Oh my gosh…there he goes again. "Look, Draco, can you do me a favor?" Draco nodded. "Ok, can you not call me Hermione? Because it's driving me crazy and I'm not used to it."
"So, what do you want me to call you?"
"Actually, I have no idea." Draco was confused. "I mean, I'll think it over. If that's ok with you?"
"Oh…ok."
