Hey guys! Happy Holidays! Just to let you know, when its Bold it Draco's conscience, you know his "Jimminy Cricket" (sorry I cant spell) and when its Italic he's talking to his "Jimminy Cricket"
-----------------------------
Its been two weeks, three day, one hour, 4 minutes, and 26 seconds since Ginny and Draco had broken up. 'Too long,' thought Ginny. 'I wish he would just apologize, it would make my life so much easier. Christmas is in a week and I don't know weather or not to give him a present.'
Ginny was disappointed. She expected him to be stubborn and not apologize right away, but two weeks was an awful lot.
--------------------------------
'Goodness, why hasn't Ginny apologized yet for yelling at me then forcing me to do some unwanted things (like beating up Potter)?' Draco thought. 'This whole hating each other thing would be a lot better if it was me hating Potter and Ginny hating Weasley. Not Ginny hating me. Why is life so difficult?'
--------------------------------
Blaise and Jess had already began working on a plan. During the holidays Jess, Jaine, Edgar, Kevin, Ivette, Alex, and Taylor would be going home. A lot of people were. It would be the perfect time for the plan especially since Ginny as well as Draco would be staying at school.
"Are you sure you have everything Blaise?"
"Yes."
"You know where right? Because I can show u if-"
"I know, Jess. Please, leave it to me. When you get back Draco and Ginny will be together….. Or hating each other. Let's hope it's the first."
"Yes, let's hope."
----------------------
Jaine, Jess, Alex, Edgar, Kevin, and Taylor were waiting by the door to go home. Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Ginny, and Blaise were also there, saying their "good byes". Well, most of them were. Blaise and Jess were "saying" their good byes by making out. Ron and Jaine just pecked each other, as they were still afraid of people's reactions. Everyone else was saying their "good byes" and their "Merry/Happy Christmas"
"Alright, enough," Ginny said to Jess and Blaise.
"Just saying good bye," Blaise said.
"Well you said good bye just fine," Harry said. His arm wrapped around Hermoine. Yes, they were finally together.
The "American bunch" left with a few more "good byes" thrown in.
"That went well, though I'm surprised Draco wasn't there. He said he would come and say good bye to Jess," Blaise said to Ginny on the way back from the "Wonderful Hall"
"He's been avoiding anywhere Ron has been since we broke up. It's rather funny," Ginny said, and to Blaise's surprise she was smiling.
"Are you ok? I mean with Draco and stuff?"
"Yeah, I figure if he's stupid enough not to believe his girlfriend, and jealous enough to fight Harry, he's not worth it," Ginny said, Blaise gave her a disbelieving look. "Alright. The fighting Harry because he was jealous wasn't that bad, I was actually flattered, happy?" Blaise nodded and laughed.
"Just making sure. You are a Slytherin now, after all."
"No. Never a Slytherin. I'm a Veerook now!" she said proudly. Then she and Blaise cracked up laughing.
"Veerook, Slytherin, same difference."
"No. Slytherin's are evil. Veerook's just have a kind of not nice since of humor."
"You're odd." Ginny began laughing again.
"Thank you," she said. Then they were out of the hallway.
Draco came out from behind the suit of armor. He leaned against the wall. Draco wasn't sure what he was to do. According to the conversation he just heard, Ginny wanted him to apologize before she even considered going back out with him again because this was "all his fault" for not being a "trusting boyfriend". He was trusting. He was, he trusted Ginny; he didn't trust Harry Potter.
It was too your fault Draco, you should have known better and trusted Ginny instead of breaking up with her.NO, it wasn't my fault. I wasn't the one talking to him, and letting him get that close.
It wasn't what she was doing and you know it. She was helping out Hermoine, see you were wrong the whole time, Harry likes Hermoine. You just jumped to conclusions.
Why is every one against me? Even my "Jimminy Cricket" is against me. What is this world coming to?
If you apologized everyone would like you again, you know.
Shut up. No one asked you.
-----------------------------
"BLAISE! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S FLIPIN CHRISTMAS!" Ginny was shouting.
"Gin, it's 6:59, I told you seven, go to bed."
"It's seven o'clock and you know it."
"Alright, I'm up."
"YAY! Happy Christmas Blaise!"
"Happy Christmas Ginny."
"Happy Christmas Draco," Ginny said in almost a whisper. Draco, who was also woken up by Ginny's screaming, was surprised that Ginny had said "Happy Christmas" to him.
"Happy Christmas Ginny."
Blaise gave Ginny al look that said, "Are you Feeling ok?"
"No one should be alone on Christmas," Ginny said. Then she looked over at Draco. "Do you want to open presents with us?"
"Uh…. Sure"
they opened presents, Ginny and Blaise joked around mostly. Draco opened his presents silently. But when Ginny got a present with "no name" on it, she had no idea who it was from. But what was even weirder, was Draco was opening a "no name" present as well.
"Ginny opened hers. It was a beautiful heart-shaped diamond ring. The band said, "You don't even know me". Ginny was surprised, not to mention astonished, she had never seen anything so beautiful in her life (unless you're counting the necklace Draco gave her for their one-month anniversary)
When Draco opened his present, he found it was a book on Quidditch tactics and how to become a professional. Draco loved it instantly. He hadn't ever told anyone (except Ginny but he forgot) that he wants to be a professional Quidditch player when he's done school. He was in love with this book.
"Ginny mouthed the words "You don't even know me". They sounded familiar, but she couldn't place it. But, when she thought about it, the only person from whom she didn't receive a present was from Draco, the problem was she knew him.
"Draco did you give me this ring?" Ginny asked.
"No, did you give me this book?"
"No."
'Hey,' thought Draco ' Isn't that the same ring I was going to give Ginny to go with the diamond necklace I got her for our first month anniversary?'
Blaise could read his expression and instantly knew his thoughts. It was the ring Draco was going to give Ginny, and the book was the book that Ginny was going to Draco for Christmas as well. It was all part of the plan. Jess found Ginny's present for Draco, wrapped it and out "no name" on it. Blaise did the same thing for Draco's present to Ginny. This way, since Blaise knew that they weren't going to give each other a present, at least they'd get the present they deserved.
"Oh, my goodness! I almost forgot. Ron, Harry, and Hermoine want us to meet them in the library to exchange gifts, come on Blaise get up," Ginny said. Blaise had forgotten. So much for leaving them alone simultaneously. Oh, well, the plan would still work out with out it, hopefully. "Bye, Draco."
"Uh…. Bye, Ginny."
"Drake, you can come with us, you know."
"Nah, it's alright. I'm hungry. I'll see you guys later."
Ginny and Blaise went and met Harry, Ron, and Hermoine in the library. They all exchanged gifts excitedly. Ginny gave Ron a muggle shirt that said "My sister knows more then me…" on the front and "… About her." On the back. She gave Harry a pen (not quill, pen) that said "Firebolt" on it. She gave Hermoine the book called "All you need to know about Patriot School for Witches and Wizards". Ginny received another pigmy puff (her last one had died), that she named Eleanor Rigby after a Beatles song she had heard; a book on extreme potions (from guess who); a gift certificate to the Quidditch shop outside of school. Blaise also gave her another present here. It was a book of assorted poems. When Ginny opened this she gave Blaise a look that said "Why do I need a book on poems?" Blaise didn't notice or pretended not to, anyway.
"Taylor didn't want to go home, you know," Hermoine told them after they were done opening gifts. "She told me that she misses 'Da Hood' and her mother and father, but she has an evil little sister, who's ten, her name is Katie. I saw pictures, she's the typical little sister, you know, she looks like the sweetest thing, but it isn't really true. She's evil." They all started laughing.
"Don't I know it." Ron said, Ginny slapped him, proving his point.
-----------------------------
Later after dinner, Blaise told Ginny to go to the Blue room (the door was blue so it was known as the "Blue Room") and wait for him there. He had a surprise for her. Ginny loved surprises, so of course, she went. She was there for an hour before anyone came. The boy walked in, except this boy wasn't Blaise.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing, Red."
"Blaise told me to come here, he said he had a surprise for me."
"Surprise," Blaise said from the doorway. He pushed something to the left, it disappeared, then he closed the door behind him. It took Ginny and Draco a couple of seconds before the got up silently and went to the door. It was locked.
"Oh great, we're locked in."
