Chapter Eight: Whispers and Secrets

QOD: I hope you like this chapter! I am not going to be here all of next week, so I'll update all I can! I'll be here today and tomorrow, but NOT Sunday! I'll be in Ottawa until Friday!

Disclaimer: I own Miya Mirror, David Alan, and Kaguya Miyers. In order: A Slytherin, A Hufflepuff, A Ravenclaw. Creevy Colin was all ready a character, so in other words, I no own him! (No, I'm not foreign, I like saying senseless things!)

Chapter Eight: Whispers and Secrets

…………………………………………………………

Ginny sniffed, wiping away her tears as she walked into the Great Hall for supper. She had spent a total of four or more hours talking with her mother and Ron. She had wanted to, for Ron had been unconscious for six hours because Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode had casted the Crucatius Curse (an Unforgivable) on him and were sentenced to twenty years in Azkaban and Dumbledore had also said they would be missing the rest of their education. Since nobody stayed sane enough in that place to even do homework, let alone concentrate on one's thoughts.

When she approached the hall doors, she saw Draco there, a worried and then relieved expression on his face. "Where on Earth have you been? I've been worried sick!"he exclaimed, kissing her.

"I was talking with my mother, and Ron woke up, so we all talked, and we never even knew four hours had passed,"Ginny said apologetically. "Sorry."

"No need for that,"he said, kissing her again. "I just thought something bad happened."

"Aww, worried?"she asked, grinning.

"Ah, shut it,"Draco said. He put an arm around her waist and opened the doors to the Great Hall. All eyes turned on them. Ginny's eyes widened when she saw her mother at the staff table sitting beside McGonagall. What the hell…?

They made their way to the Slytherin table, avoiding eyes all the way.

"Hey Ginny, I was worried,"Miya exclaimed, hugging her.

"Miya, blocking…air…path…"Ginny choked.

"Sorry!"Miya pulled away, blushing. Before pulling away, she whispered in her ear, "How did you ever manage to get such a hot guy?"

Ginny blushed mad as she and Draco sat beside each other at the table and the feast began. Everyone at the staff table seemed to have their eyes on the two of them. Ginny and Draco. Her mother's eyes were wide with confusion and wonderment, as what might have started the relationship. Wasn't it obvious? was all she could think to herself. When she looked at Dumbledore, he had a knowing smile and a twinkle in his eyes. Damn, that man seemed to know everything, she thought.

It was unfortunate that the Gryffindor table was right across from Slytherin, because Ron was sending glares of hatred at Malfoy. He had been excused from the Wing after being checked over about 100 times in 10 minutes by Madam Pomfrey, saying it was 'serious' if an Unforgivable was used, which it was. But, really, 100 times was not necessary.

"Ron, stop it,"she heard Hermione say, elbowing him in the ribs, causing him to flinch and rub them.

"Mione,"he whined. "That snake has his arm around Gin."

"Isn't it obvious?"

"What?"

"Ron, even I figured it out!"Harry exclaimed. Hermione nodded. "Same here. Of course, you've been unconscious for six hours, and over that time, you missed ALOT."

"That being…"

"Well, you missed a bit of school work, you missed Gin almost raped by Zabini, you also missed —"Hermione whispered before Harry interrupted her.

"Hermione, don't tell him about Ginny and Draco — he'll cause a scene; I know he will,"Harry stated. "Ginny doesn't need that right now."

Hermione looked thoughtful, then nodded. "All right, Harry. I guess it's best if he finds out on his own accord."

"She was what?"Ron whispered, looking at Blaise at the table, who was sitting across from Ginny at the other side of the table, trying to avoid Ron's eyes. And Draco's. "I'm gonna —"

"Ron, please! She doesn't need you making a big deal about this!"Hermione pleaded with Ron. "Please…"

Ron sighed, and looked to where Ginny and Draco were talking happily. "All right. But if we leave, I'm pounding him."

"I would expect nothing less from you, Ron,"Harry smirked.

"Why is your mother here, Ron?"Hermione asked, noticing her at the staff table in between McGonagall and Dumbledore.

"To make sure Ginny and I were all right. Did you see the look on her face when Draco had his arm around Ginny?"Ron asked.

"Yeah, who knows what her reaction'll be to everything else,"Harry nodded at Hermione, who also nodded.

"Is this some sort of code language?"Ron asked. "Like morse code?"

Harry and Hermione laughed. "Nope, sorry to disappoint you."

"Dammit."

"Well Ron, look at it this way, at least you'll have your week planned. Loads of homework,"Harry stated.

"Yeah, thanks, Harry,"Ron said sarcastically before hitting him on the back of the head.

"Headmaster! Headmaster!"Percy Weasley exclaimed, running up to the headmaster, startling the occupants of the Great Hall at that time.

"What is it, Percy?"Dumbledore asked.

"Nearly Headless Nick and Justin Filch-Fletchy have been petrified!"

amethyst-rose: Yeah...thanks!

QOD: The Chamber Of Secrets is taking it's toll on my story! Is Justin's last name spelled correctly? I hope I made no mistakes…I couldn't type Nick's name in without making a mistake, so I left it at Nearly Headless Nick. XD Since there are no reviews within the two seconds in which I have posted this, I have something to tell you. I WILL NOT BE HERE FOR A WEEK, STARTING MAY 8TH. I AM GOING ON A SCHOOL TRIP WITH MY CLASS TO OTTAWA. PLEASE READ AUTHOR'S NOTES. THEY MAY CONTAIN VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UPDATING. I think someone was asking me why Fred and George were in the Map Never Lies since it was a sixth year fic, that was because I MADE THEM RETURN FOR THEIR SIXTH YEAR. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I COULDN'T BAN THEM FROM MY STORY. SORRY IF ANYONE FINDS ME IRRITATING OR CONFUSING. In real life I'm basically a loner, like Mai Valentine from Yu-Gi-Oh, or Inuyasha from Inuyasha. LOL! That sounded stupid! Inuyasha from Inuyasha! Please, oh please review! I was trying to make the author's note longer so I might have over 1000 words.

My trip to Ottawa is:

Sunday May 8th to Friday May 13th

I shall try and get some updates in between then, I promise! Plus, I'll be getting a laptop for grading day, so I'll be able to type more, even while travelling! HORRAH!

Quill Of Death says: Later days!
