Chapter 5: Dream Or Not?
He quietly crept out of the room when he was certain she was asleep.
"Where are you going?" She asked him, rousing from her sleep.
"Out." He replied coldly.
"Out where?" She asked with distrust.
"Goodbye, I'll be back tomorrow morning." He simply said before slipping out the door and away from her. Forever.
"Blaise, I need to think of a way to commence my plan romantically." Draco said thoughtfully, pacing around the Slytherine Common Room.
"How 'bout the classic sweep her off her feet while rescuing her?" Blaise suggested, sitting on the couch comfortably.
"How am I suppose to 'rescue' her when she's in no trouble?" Draco asked blankly, continuously pacing around.
"Well…my friend," Blaise started smartly. "You can always put her in danger."
"Ahh…comprehending…but how?" Draco asked, glad that he had a brilliant schemer as a friend.
"Hm…" Blaise said, putting his finger to his chin. "Well…to my knowledge, you have quidditch practice tomorrow," Blaise started, another one of his scheming smirks on his face.
"So? Continue." Draco stated.
"So, I'll push her out the window-being the big "bully" I am- and you'll rescue her on your broom." Blaise finished, satisfied at himself for thinking of such a flawless and brilliant plan.
Draco responded my dropping his jaw open.
"I think it's flawless and bloody brilliant!" Blaise complimented himself.
"What if I don't catch her?" Draco asked, raising a brow sceptically at his friend.
"Oh don't tell me you can't catch such a little thing like her! I mean, you can catch snitches and their unpredictable and fast, so…. what are the odds of not catching her?" Blaise asked, light heartedly.
"Why of course I can catch her!" Draco quickly recovered. "I was just asking to see your reaction!"
"Ok then, it's settled. Outside the Potions window, I'll scare her and then you catch her. Right at 3. She'll be lured to the room, and Creevey will be someplace else, so there'll be no interfering." Blaise confirmed before going back to his dorm.
Sighing, Draco could not believe that how much he was putting on the line just to get revenge on some little Weasley. "This is going to be…interesting." He murmured, grinning evilly.
"Ginny! I can't go to Magical Creatures class with you! I just got a message from someone that there was an unexpected Quidditch Practice, I'll just reschedule my class later." Colin called before running off to the Gryffindor change rooms.
Ginny nodded. Now she was alone and off to Magical Creatures class. At least it was taught by Hagrid and not Snape!
"Ginny Weasley!" She heard a cold voice stop her.
Turning around, she saw Blaise Zabini standing about three meters away from her.
"Professor Snape requests to speak to you." Blaise explained, motioning her to follow him.
Wondering why Snape would want to talk to her, Ginny slowly followed Blaise to the Potions room.
"Where's professor Snape?" Ginny asked, as they stepped into an empty Potions classroom.
"He's running an errand for Dumbledore, we are to wait here for his return." Blaise says, taking a seat on one of the empty tables.
"Uh…ok." Ginny stuttered, starting to get a bit terrified of staying with a seventh year Slytherine alone in an empty room. She took a seat by the window, hoping the sun would calm her nerves.
"A bonus, she's already near the target area." Blaise murmured under his breath, smirking.
"So, your Weasley's sister, aye?" Blaise asks, advancing closer to her.
"Y-yes…" Ginny mumbles, sitting closer to the window and further away from Blaise.
"You know Weasley, you have…debts to pay to Slytherine…" Blaise started, his voice smooth and silky, his eyes clearly amused.
"What for?" Ginny asked, trying to remain calm as Blaise continued to advance towards her.
"For making Draco look like such a fool the other day." Blaise coldly said, with a hint of anger.
"He deserved it! Treating my friend like that!" Ginny fired back.
"Oh?" Blaise asked amused.
"Yes!" Ginny firmly answered.
"Then should I…stick up for my friend too?" Blaise asked, now half a meter away from Ginny.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked nervously.
"I mean," Blaise started, glancing at the clock. Fifteen seconds. "This." He finished, using his wand and performing a spell that sent Ginny flying through the glass and out the window.
Ginny thought that at that moment she was going to die, after all from the Potions classroom, it is six stories high. She was never going to see Ron again. To never see Charlie. To never see Percy. To never see Bill. To never see Fred or George. To never see Colin. To never see Harry or Hermione. All she knew was that one moment, she was backing up against the window and the next a force so great sent her sailing through the window and into midair. Before she had registered all this, she was hurling towards the ground at an exceedingly fast pace and then she felt strong arms catch her, immediately her fall ceased.
Clutching onto her savoir tightly to steady herself, she found that she was in the arms of no other than Draco Malfoy, on a broom. Slowly, petals of pink started to float down on them. The moment almost seemed magical, if she wasn't in the arms of a Malfoy.
"Say Ginny, do you believe in true love?" He asked gently, looking down at her with soft blue eyes; boring themselves into her own brown ones.
"True love?" Ginny asked with uncertainty. "No, not at all. I think it just happens in fantasies."
"Ginny, true love does exist." Draco whispered, his eyes never leaving hers, and that was what Ginny saw last before fainting due to the unexpected fright.
"Are you ok, Ginny?"
Ginny opened her eyes to see Colin looking down at her with curiosity.
Moaning, Ginny got herself off the ground. "Where am I?"
"At the Quidditch pitch…" Colin answered.
"Why am I here?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know Ginny. You tell me." Colin demanded, his eyes full of concern.
"I'm not sure myself. Well first you went to Quidditch practice and left me. Then Blaise brought me to Potions." Ginny started to explain.
"Potions?" Colin asked, bewildered.
"Yes, and then there was this huge force and I was thrown out the window and then…" Ginny trailed off.
"Thrown out the window!" Colin asked, looking at her like she insane. "Then what?"
"Then…Malfoy saved me on his broom and he-" Ginny explained.
"Malfoy!" Colin exclaimed. "Ginny! Are you ok!" Colin asked, feeling her forehead.
"Then he asked me if I believe in…" Ginny murmured to herself. "True love…"
"Ginny! I'm bringing you to Madame Pomfreys, right now! You are sick! How can you be thrown out the window!" Colin questioned, talking to himself and pulling Ginny off the ground and dragging her to the Hospital Wing.
"True love…" Ginny murmured again, wondering of the strange incident, did she dream it?
"Ginny! Come on!" Colin yelled, pulling the dazed her along.
"Colin! I'm not sick! I did get thrown through the window!" Ginny stated, snapping back into reality.
"Ginny! How do you expect me to believe that! Clearly, you are sick! Did you fall or something?" Colin persisted.
"I'll prove to you that I'm not sick! I'm not making this up! Even come with me to the Potions room to see the broken window!" Ginny protested, dragging him to the Potions room.
"Ginny-y-y-y…" Colin reminded.
"Just come! And you'll see that I'm not lying." Ginny insisted.
When they reached the Potions classroom, Ginny persevered Colin to see the damage of the glass. Helpless, Colin went inside with Ginny.
"See? It's brok-" Ginny faltered, for the sight of a perfect flawless glass stopped her blood.
"Ginny, are you sure you're feeling alright?" Colin asked, finding the window just as he had expected it to me.
"Yes…" Ginny mumbled, confused. "I'm just…tired."
At that, Colin made his way to the door to exit.
Looking at the non-broken window once again, Ginny saw a pink rose appear on the windowsill. Slowly taking it, careful of the thorns, Ginny brought it to her face. Vanilla.
