Exchange Trip
Chapter 20- Not Good"This is so not good," Jaine said to Jess and Hermoine. "They just got back together, what happened?"
"Draco's dad happened," Jess said.
"And Draco's still listening to a man an ocean away. He can't do anything," Hermoine stated.
"Hermoine, you have got to be kidding me, we are talking about the man that gave Ginny Riddle's diary, I'm pretty sure that he would be capable of doing something to Draco if he really wanted to," Jess said.
"What's going on? Have you seen Ginny with that O'Mally kid? They're dancing like crazy. It's insane," Ron said as he walked over to Jaine.
"Yeah, unfortunately Ginny is trying to show up Draco by out dancing him and his partner," Jaine said.
"Which makes Draco want to show up Ginny by beating her dancing," Jess added.
"They should get lives," Blaise said and pulled Jess onto the dance floor. Everyone followed their lead and began dancing.
"Not that I mind, but why are we dancing like crazy? The dance off isn't for another half hour," George asked Ginny.
"There's a dance off?" Ginny asked, George nodded. "Then lets take a break. We, I, need to rest if we're going to win this thing." They sat down and George began explaining the dance off.
"It's kind of like the dance competition in the movie Greece, people dance and the two best people win, weather they were partners or not, and then they dance a final dance of the night."
"Well, we're going to win even if we have to soak our feet for a month to recover," Ginny said.
-----------------------------------
"Ok students we are about to start the dance off, please get with your partners and get on the dance floor, those of you participating. Those of you not, please stand to the side so the judges can judge the contestants," a professor said. The students all got ready; George, Ginny, Blaise, Jess, Jaine, Ron, Hermoine, Harry, Kevin, Ivette, Edgar, Alex, Elise, and Draco were all participating. Ginny and Draco were the most determined though; everyone else couldn't decide which one wanted it more.
"After all the work we went through to get the two of them together, a month later the break up again, how bogus is that?" Blaise said.
"Very bogus," Jess said, she had had to endure this since they broke up. She just went along with it; Jess was hopelessly in love with Blaise.
As the dance off continued some people had to leave, like Ron and Jaine (Ron stepped on her feet a little too much); Edgar and Alex (Edgar can't dance to save his life); Harry and Hermoine (Hermoine got bored); as well as some other people who aren't as important. The people that remained were Ginny and George; Blaise and Jess; Kevin and Ivette; Draco and Elise; and two other couples from Huffleurbuffle. The remaining couples danced for a little more before the judges came to their decision.
"Thank you all for participating in the dance off, we appriate all the effort you pet into it. The two winners happen to be from the same house that is slightly unusual; nonetheless, they are Miss Ginny Weasley and Mr. Draco Malfoy. Will you both please come to the center and take a final dance." The judge asked. Ginny looked to her friends as if to say, "Kill me now". Draco only looked amused, although he wasn't this Blaise could tell.
As they both got there a slow song started. Draco grabbed Ginny around the waist and pulled her closer to him, Ginny put her arms around his neck. She looked up at him, she hated it, looking up at people wasn't her favorite thing to do. Ginny wanted to stamp on his foot, slap him, and run. She concluded that she would do that once the song was over.
"You've got the I'm-going-to-hurt-someone look on your face," Draco said. Ginny just smiled evilly.
"Maybe I am."
"If you want to hurt Potter I'm not going to stop you."
"I have no problem with Harry, you on the other hand might want to watch out." Forget stamping on his foot she's going to knee him where it'll hurt.
"Oh, no, I'm scared now."
"You should be."
"Why are you so mad?"
"Good question. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I like you a lot, heck, I might love you, and you dump me after only a measly month for a tart of a girl, and Pansy's cousin no less." Draco was shocked. Did she just say she loves me? He couldn't believe what he was hearing. She had gone mad. She couldn't love her, no one, not even his parents, loved him.
"Ginny, I'm so sorry. But my dad-"
"I don't care about your dad. He's in Europe, what exactly can he do to you here?"
"He has his ways, he has a man everywhere."
"Kiss me. Let's just see what happens. I'll be with you, by your side through it all."
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'm tuff, it takes a lot to hurt me, unless it's my so called boyfriend breaking up with me, ok a boyfriend I actually like. I can handle your dad. Besides I owe him something, from way back in first year."
"Gin I don't know if it's that good on an ide-" he was cut off by her kissing him. They were in their own world that is until they were torn apart.
"What?"
"Draco, Draco, Draco, what did I tell you about associating yourself with this rubbish?" Lucious Malfoy asked pointing at Ginny. "You will reunion the family name."
"You already have." Lucious slapped his son.
"How dare you talk to me in that way."
"How dare he? How dare you try to control other peoples lives?" Ginny spoke up.
"Ah, I forgot how feisty the littlest Weasley was. You'll excuse me while I take my son won't you?"
"Never. You're not talking him from me."
"What are you going to do about it?" He asked as he looked at Ginny while Crabbe (Draco's old "friend" Crabbe's dad) held her back.
"This" she said as she elbowed Crabbe and grabbed her wand and stpetifed (sp?) Crabbe.
"You stupid girl. Now who will help you?"
"Who said I need help?" She attacked him, she was cursing right and left and Lucious couldn't get the upper hand. It wasn't until someone tripped her, or rather someone's body tripped her did Lucious get her. She didn't shake with fright, or beg for mercy as men twice her age would have and had done in her situation. She just looked up at him determined to win, to fight until she couldn't anymore.
"Well, well, you can hex up a storm I'll give you that, but, I will always win, remember that."
"Always win like you did in the final battle, if I remember correctly wasn't it your master that died? And Harry who won that. I do believe that you lost that one, oh, and the chamber of secrets, I think you lost that on to-"
"Shut up you wretched girl!" He hexed her. She cringed in pain. You all may be wondering what happened to the rest of the school, there was a force field put up around Lucious, his two dummies, Ginny and Draco, but at this point Ron was pounding on it to get in and help his sister. Everyone else was trying to get in as well.
"Now, do not cross me again and you may just live to see tomorrow." Lucious said.
"What if I don't want to?"
"You want to die?"
"If I can't be with Draco, I will die."
"Oh, how sweet, she's in love with my son. Too bad he will never love you."
"Too late for that, father, I already do."
"You what?"
"I love Ginny Weasley."
"How dare you?" At that moment the bubble they were in burst and Albus Dumbledore out Lucious and his too goonies in binds.
"Ah, yes, sorry about that. I should have been here sooner. Mr. Malfoy, please take Miss Weasley to the hospital wing as she is bleeding. Mr. Weasley, please wait until your sister has been taken care of to go and see her. Thank you, now I must take care of these three. I believe Azkaban will be it for you three then." Everyone did as they were told and Ginny was rushed to the hospital wing by Draco telling her how wonderful she was and how he was sorry he couldn't have helped her.
