Chapter 16: The Spiteful Letter
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
-William Shakespeare
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun poured in through the windows of the girls' dormitory making the room warm with the cool breeze coming through the cracks of the windows. In the far corner of the room lay a girl with red-burgundy hair rolled up in her blanket like a burrito, drool trickling down her chin in the most stylish way possible. Henna; one of the red heads roommate, awoke hearing snoring from that side of the room and couldn't go back to sleep.
'It's a bloody Sunday!' Henna thought angrily. 'I want some damn sleep!'
"Oi! You doof! Wake up, or stop snoring, will ya!" She yelled from the other side of the room.
Ginny shifted in her burrito style blanket and went back to snoring.
Henna growled. "Bloody cow." She stood to her full height, which wasn't really full was it? She grabbed her crutches by her bedside table, while also grabbing a baseball bat (just incase someone tried to break in) and hopped over to Ginny's bed.
Henna loomed over Ginny. "This will stop the snoring." Henna grinned wickedly; she was very scary if she didn't get any sleep. She raised her bat to strike, when.
"Oi! Henna, what do you ya think you're bloody doing?" Samira's voice came from the door; she was apparently coming back from the showers and already dressed to go to breakfast.
Henna quickly turned around, hiding the bat behind her and smiled innocently. "Nothing, just waking up, princess here." She said patting Ginny's form, with one hand on her and one with the bat.
Samira snorted. "Right, just don't kill her, okay? Azkaban isn't a place I want to live yet. I have to get laid first!" Samira chuckled and turned around to walk out of the door.
"Oh by the way, if you find Shifa, tell me. I've been looking for her all morning." Samira said turning back around.
Henna nodded, still hiding the bat behind her. Samira walked out, closing the door with a soft click. Henna turned around facing Ginny with a crazy look. "I'll kill you now!" Henna raised the bat behind her, when Ginny finally started to rouse from her sleep.
Ginny groaned loudly and looked up to see scary, psychotic looking Henna with a bat inches above her head, reading to strike at her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ginny screamed and fell out of her bed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Henna screamed and she fell backwards with her crutches flying either corner.
"Bloody hell!" Ginny snarled." What the hell are you doing! Kill me? I was sleeping you blithering idiot!" Ginny scowled and looked at Henna, who was still on back and facing the ceiling.
"Ow." was all she said.
"And what the hell did you scream for? You were the one sneaking up on me!" Ginny snapped.
"Because… you scared me." Henna got up and smiled.
Ginny rolled her eyes, and then her head started to hurt in a most painful way.
"Bloody hell! My head! My bloody, precious head!" She grabbed her head with her hands trying to massage her temples.
"What? Is it your head?" Henna asked.
Ginny glared and Henna laughed.
"What were youuu doing last night? Hm?" Henna wiggled her eyebrows.
Ginny gave her another look and thought of what happened last night.
"I.." Ginny thought and last nights events came back to her in full blow. Going to Draco's room, seeing Snape, seeing Draco half naked, him making me take off my clothes, him giving me a spectacular dress, him taking me to a club, dancing with him, me dancing by myself and loving it. Then...too tired, sleepy...fuzzy. He walked me back to Gryffindor Tower...and I ALMOST BLOODY WELL KISSED HIM GOODNIGHT!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ginny shrieked.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Henna shrieked with her.
"What!"
"You scared me again."
"Hhmp."
"Well? Why did you scream?" Henna asked.
"I almost kissed Draco Malfoy last night!"
"YOU WHAT!"
"Yes! Merlin! He must think I'm a fool!" Ginny said panicking with fear and embarrassment.
"He'll tell the whole school I know it! Ah I'm doomed!" Ginny started to sniff lightly.
"Back up, you almost kissed him? How? what the hell happened last night? Did you get drunk?"
Ginny looked up and turned towards Henna. "No I didn't drink a thing. Well maybe besides Butterbeer, but then I don't remember drinking that too." Ginny scowled. "So I did it on my own! I wish I was drunk now!" Ginny brought her legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and sniffed again softly.
"Smoking perhaps?"
"Well yeah, a lot of people smoke nowadays. Plus it was also like for classy people. They smoke cigars and what not."
"Have you ever been exposed to smoke before?"
"Not really." Ginny shook her head.
"Eh, maybe it was second-hand smoke with drowsiness." Henna concluded. "You were probably thinking it was another one of your dates with Charles or something. So it was probably natural to just kiss him goodnight and go in."
Ginny looked up and sniffed. "Maybe you're right! I was so tired I didn't even want to take off my dress." Ginny looked down and saw the shimmering champagne colored dress, before her all wrinkled.
"Oh my! I didn't even notice it!" Henna touched the silky fabric. "It's gorgeous!"
Ginny gave a weak smile. "It is."
"Malfoy gave it to you?"
"Yeah, but I doubt he'll want me to keep it now after what I've done! I'm such a fool!" Ginny went back to her legs and started to sniff again.
"Aw, now don't be downhearted I can fix it for you, sonny." Henna rubbed her back.
Ginny looked up. "You can?" Ginny's eyes were bright, with curiosity.
"Sure! How about this, write a letter apologizing?" Henna suggested.
"A letter? Isn't that too formal?" Ginny looked hesitant.
"No, it's simple, discreet and to the point." the little girl nodded.
Ginny still didn't look convinced. "Even if I did give him a letter, I'm too shy to give it now and what would I say? Sorry for trying to kiss you Malfoy. I was a bit under the weather." Ginny snorted.
"Ah true, how about I write it for you?" Henna nodded.
Ginny gasped. "Would you really?"
"Yeah, why not?"
Ginny squealed and grabbed Henna, hugging her as if she was about to die.
"Must you scream in my ear like that?" Henna's voice was muffled in Ginny's chest. Ginny laughed and let Henna go.
"Did you boobs get bigger? My god, I couldn't even breathe in there anymore." Henna said fixing her hair.
Ginny glared and then laughed. "At least mine aren't flat like my back!"
"Hey! They are not flat, they are just...hiding? I have enough to hold in my hand though!" Henna said defiantly.
Ginny snorted, and rubbed the top of Henna's head.
"So when does you cast come off?"
"Today, actually."
"Really!"
"Yep!" Henna grinned.
"So let's get ready, get me some Pepper-up potion, and then head down the infirmary." Ginny said, getting up.
"Okay, and then I'll write your letter and even give it to him myself." Henna smiled while looking around her crutches.
Ginny grabbed her crutches and brought them to Henna.
"So, what's the catch?" Henna stood up with her crutches and looked at Ginny quizzically.
"What?"
"Why write my letter and give it to Malfoy too? You don't like him do you?" Ginny gave a unnoticed glare, but Henna saw it and she grinned inside.
Henna shook her head and laughed. "Of course not, he might be gorgeous, but he's all yours hunny." She winked. Ginny started to protest, when Henna waved her off. "Yeah, Yeah I know you don't like him. I'm doing it because I'm a good friend...and what if I get to see Blaise?" Henna smiled her goofy grin.
Ginny rolled her eyes and laughed. "See I knew there was something." Henna shrugged, still smiling her goofy grin.
"Now let's take off this dress. I'll give it to him later after I've cleaned it."
They cleaned, washed and headed down to the infirmary, where Henna would be taking off her cast, at last.
Madam Pomfrey told Henna to sit on one of the hospital beds while she went to grab some potions and lotions for her leg after she took it off.
Henna settled herself on her bed, while Ginny took a chair next to the bed.
"So, I wonder where Shifa went this morning." Henna said, making small talk while they waited.
"I don't know. She's probably with Luna again or reading in the library." Ginny said.
"Probably."
Madam Pomfrey returned and pointed her wand at Henna's leg muttering a spell, which made the cast slide off with a 'sloooop'
"All done, dearie." Madam Pomfrey said, smiling a sweet smile.
"That's it?" Henna exclaimed.
"That's it." Madam Pomfrey smiled and turned around to grab two vials, one which was silver and the other was gold.
"Now drink these once each a day for three days, and-" handed Henna the vials and turned around grabbing a bottle of lotion which was purple." rub this on your leg for a week, then it won't be as stiff." Madam Pomfrey patted Henna's leg and stood up.
"Oh I also have your Pepper-up potion for you Miss Weasley." She dug out a tiny vial of black liquid from her pocket and handed it to Ginny.
"Now Miss Ahmed, if I hear you twisted your leg the other way again, next time it won't be as comfortable." She turned towards Ginny. "Make sure she drinks those potions and if she doesn't rub the lotion well, someone isn't going to be walking soon." She winked and away.
"I will!" Ginny called out at her retreating back. Henna growled placing her arms in front of her chest.
"Crazy old bat."
Ginny laughed, as she drank up the Pepper-up potion. Her toes tingled and as her fingertips, making her feel warm and happy. "Ah, I feel so much better! My headache is almost completely gone. Well I best be off and do my homework."
Henna grunted in response. Ginny stood up and walked towards the doors.
"Oh by the way, don't forget the letter!" Ginny turned around and winked, then turned back around and walked off in the corridor leaving Henna in the infirmary.
Henna grunted again and carefully stood up to walk out of the infirmary, she finally thought she had it but tripped into the bed beside hers and fell flat on her face.
"This is going to be a long day." She grumbled to the floor.

Draco awoke feeling awkward, he stood up from his bed, clad in silk green boxers and walked into his private bath to brush his teeth and wash his face. After finishing his hygiene he walked out of his room into his kitchen to see of course Blaise sitting, eating his cereal once again. He gave up on kicking the fellow out.
"Pass the milk will you?" Draco said taking a seat across from Blaise who was also clad in silk black boxers reading the Daily Prophet.
He looked up, his dark, brown shaggy hair failing into his bright green eyes. He smiled. "Up are you?" He said passing the milk to Draco, who took it and poured himself a glass. "How was last night?"
Draco took some cereal from Blaise and started to take bites, when Blaise cleared his throat. Draco looked up and glared.
"Awkward."
"Awkward?" Blaise asked confused.
"Yes, awkward. Now shut up and let me eat." Draco snapped and started again at his cereal.
Blaise looked at him oddly and started to eat his cereal too.
"How'd she look in that dress?" Blaise asked nonchalantly after a couple of minutes.
Draco looked up abruptly. "How do you know?"
Blaise shrugged his broad tan shoulders. "I was looking for a shirt you took from me, I wanted to wear it last night, but you were gone with the chit. So I looked and looked in all of your wardrobes but nothing, and I saw that particular dress wasn't there." Blaise looked at him expectantly.
"Why the fuck do you care if that dress is there or not?" Draco barked, anger rising.
Blaise shrugged again. "I was just asking how she looked in it."
Draco glared into his eyes; he still didn't flinch when a silver strand got into his swirling gray orbs. Draco finally sighed and looked away.
"...Nice." He whispered.
"Pardon? I didn't hear you correctly. Did you just say nice?" Blaise said with wide eyes.
Draco straightened up and shook his head. "Naw, she just looked nice enough to fuck, and leave her." Draco smirked.
Blaise smirked and nodded. "Thought so, so how was she?"
Draco's smirk fell. "Well I didn't exactly-"
"Couldn't get that close could you?" Blaise nodded, seeming to understand his uncomfortable- ness.
"Er, yeah. That." Draco shrugged.
"Ah well, you can't get them all can you?" Blaise said laughing while he stood up.
"Well I'm going to go change, thanks for the cereal!"
"Oh by the way, I hope she didn't mind, her wearing that dress."
Draco's face turned red with anger, and was about to get up and pop one to Blaise, when.
"See ya later." Blaise said quickly walked out closing Draco's door with a click.
Outside Blaise shook his head.
"I wonder if she really did look nice, she must have. Poor boys' in denial." He then walked all the way to his dorm room.
Inside Draco shook his head.
"She looked more than nice." Draco said out loud, then stopped himself and scowled. "Did not."
Draco rubbed his face with his hands and cleaned up the kitchen and got ready for the day to do his homework. "I don't think she'd mind if she wore the dress."

Henna finally getting the hang of walking, was practically running around the school, trying to find Draco Malfoy.
"Where the hell is that Blondie, when you need him?" She turned corners with the letter in her hand.
She saw Filch walking by and she stopped waving a hello, he grunted and rolled his eyes, saying something of 'suck ups'. He turned the other corner and left. Henna saw it was clear and ran again around the corner colliding with something hard and fell to the ground.
"Bloody hell! Watch where you're going!" Came a cold voice above her. She shuddered but then it hit her. It was him! She found him!
"Yay! I found him! Pat on the back, Henna!" Henna patted herself on the back and looked up to see two curious yet glaring eyes staring down at her.
"Hi, Malfoy!" Henna chirped.
Draco scowled.
"Sorry! You were just the person I wanted to see!" She smiled a huge grin.
He rolled his eyes. Henna stood up, and dusted herself off smiling again at Draco's direction.
He glared."Shouldnt you be up in a tree making cookies or something?"
Henna sneered. "Funny."
He smirked looking down at her. Henna glared looking up at him, willing her self not to kick him in the shin.
"This is for you." She shoved the letter in his hand and ran away, screaming. "Stupid Blondie!"
Draco looked at the wrinkled letter in his hands and looked at Henna running away, and then turned the corner away from sight.
Draco was disgusted, a Gryffindor touching him! What was up with all the Gryffindors' touching him freely, or running into him for that matter?
But his curiosity didn't stop him. I wonder what's in the letter. No I can't, a Gryffindor gave it to me. What if it's poisoned? She might be little, but the little ones are the crazy ones. Finally the curiosity took over and he opened up the letter hesitantly.
He read the letter and his eyes grew wide, it looked as if they almost fell out of his sockets. Anger bubbled in his chest and he wrinkled up the paper furiously.
"Weasley!" He yelled and walked briskly in search of the red-head.

Ginny was sitting in the library doing her many essays that were due in the upcoming week, alone. Samira was off somewhere and Shifa was still yet to be found. Henna was supposed to giving the letter to Malfoy right at this moment. So she worked, and hard too.
Finally little footsteps padded towards her and she looked up from her essay and saw Henna flushed yet excited.
"I did it! I gave it to him!" Henna said out of breath, smiling like a lunatic.
"You did!" Ginny moved her stuff, while Henna took the opposite seat.
"Well what did it say?" Ginny said exasperated. Henna waved her face, catching her breath.
She held one finger to show that she wasn't ready yet. She finally calmed down and looked at Ginny with a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Well it said-" Henna was cut off, when Malfoy stormed into the library and looked around for someone.
His eyes finally stopped and glared down at Ginny, gripping the letter with fierce.
He stomped over and waved the letter in her face.
"What is the meaning of this?" He snapped.
"I..I what?" Ginny looked around alarmed, and saw Henna crouched down in her seat so low; it was even harder to see her now.
He threw the letter on the table, and Ginny scrambled to grab it. She straightened it out and read the letter, her eyes growing wide with every word she read.
It read:
Dear Draco ,
How are things, my darling?
I hope you are well and are feeling cheerful as always.
Darling, I just wanted to tell you that you are truly special to me!
I don't know if I've never told you this, but your hypnotic grey eyes have always reminded me of a grey squirrel. I'm not saying you are hairy or anything, I mean that in a cute way, because I think squirrels are cool (except for those naughty red ones). I think its really cute the way your eyes dilate when you get angry (as they are probably doing right now, no doubt)
What's even more mystifying is your gorgeous blonde hair which is just as beautiful and radiant as golden heaps of straw (the only difference being that your hair cannot be eaten by horses or used to repair cottage roofs)
I loved going out to the club with you last night, despite the fact I embarrassed you and myself in front of everyone. I think its sweet how you roll your eyes upwards and cover your face every time I make chicken noises, and its even sweeter how you turn green and vomit up your kidneys whenever I deliberately open my mouth to show you what I'm chewing.
You know I've always loved your gorgeous bum and I can't wait to see you again so I can drool over your bum and make a complete fool out of myself in public as always.
Anyway darling, I must sign off now. I can't wait to see you again, especially if you are gonna be wearing that sexy leopard skin underwear for me! Go on, surprise me! I've often wondered what you would look like wearing those. I bet you'd look cute!
You are the only reason I exist, and my life is meaningless without you.
I eagerly anticipate hearing from you!
Sweet love, hugs and kisses,
Ginny
xxxoooxxx
P.S. Sorry for trying to kiss you! –wink-
Ginny's face was even redder than her hair, and it even looked like her ears were shooting steam.
"HENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA!" She shrieked so loud, she didn't care that everyone stopped what they were doing to see what the commotion was.
Henna slid herself up of her chair and smiled weakly. "Heh, heh, you see, you didn't let me sleep in the morning so I just thought I would play a little prank on y-" Ginny stood up and rapidly walked around the table towards Henna.
Henna yelped and jumped out of her chair, running out of the library. "I'm dead!"
"You bet you are!" Ginny screamed and at that exact moment Shifa walked in.
"What happened?" Shifa asked.
"Nothing… yet!" Ginny growled, her eyes looking murderous.
Samira came in after hearing what Shifa asked Ginny.
"Where were you?" Samira asked Shifa.
"Writing a letter." Shifa shrugged.
"FUCKING LETTERS!" Ginny yelled again and ran after Henna.
They both looked at each other and shrugged, Draco just stood agape.
