Chapter 17: Apologies, Visitors and Surprises.
Ginny Weasley was furious, utterly furious. Her red hair whipping around her like a red halo, while she rapidly ran through the corridors towards the Gryffindor Tower where she knew Henna Ahmed would be. She could not believe her best friend would do that to her, Henna always played pranks but one as big as this? To Malfoy no less? I mean, sure prank Malfoy all you want, but why embarrass me too? Ginny sighed, I know I shouldn't be getting this angry, but I can't help but feel that he won't like me anymore. Er, I mean he won't tolerate me anymore. He never even liked my company; all he does is insult me and make fun of my family. I should have been laughing when she was explaining that it was only a prank. But the last sentence, of me trying to kiss him? GAH! Now he will remember it for sure. He will know I was really trying to kiss him, (NO blame it on the drowsy-ness!) and that I told my roommates about it! Ginny sighed yet again, and went looking for the little girl.
She walked into Gryffindor Tower with her face flushed, her eyes brimming with tears. She walked into their dorm and found Henna sitting on her bed, not facing the door. Henna heard footsteps and turned around, almost falling off her bed.
"Look Ginny, I didn't mean-" She started with her hands up in the air.
"You didn't mean to! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?" Ginny screamed at the top of her lungs.
Henna winced and sighed. "Ginny, come on. It was only joke; I was having fun, trying to make fun of Malfoy you know?"
"Make fun of Malfoy?" Ginny laughed harshly. "I don't think you understand. I was utterly embarrassed too! Now he bloody well knows that I told my roommates about the "kiss"! He knows that I talked about him, and he also knows that I probably put you up to this ridiculous letter. I might have but not for foolish reasons! I just wanted to say sorry and you ruined it!" She yelled angrily, not even stopping to take a breath.
She sighed looking down and whispered. "How could you do this to me? I thought you were my friend?"
Henna looked up with tears brimming the inner of her eyes. "How can you say that?" She yelled now, getting angry.
"This is stupid, Ginny! You're getting upset over this stupid prank; the Ginny I used to know would have laughed her head off! "Henna walked over and looked at her defiantly.
Henna continued. "How can you get so upset? I was just playing a prank like I always do! It's Malfoy for bloody sakes. It seems as though you care what he thinks!" She looked at her demanding to know.
Ginny looked away scowling.
"Do you? Do you care for him? You need to stop lying to us! First Hogsmeade Studio, Charles and now this? How much longer can you keep these lies in you? How can you live lying to your friends who love you?"
Henna whispered now, her voice trembling. "Do you not love us like how we love you?"
Ginny looked up and immediately felt guilty. "I do love you! I love all of you."
"Then why lie to us? Do you think we'll make fun of you?" Henna asked.
Ginny sighed and looked away. "I-I..I didn't want you to know because; I wanted to do this one thing, this ONE THING, by myself. With no one's judgment and me dealing with everything on my own."
"Malfoy happened to be there, and of course that ruined my whole image in my head of coming out as a great dancer." She looked away wistfully. "But Henna, do you know how well he dances?"
Henna looked up clearly seeing the way her eyes lit up.
"I mean, he made me overcome my fear of dancing like a git in front of people. He made me love dancing. He made me feel dancing. He made me want dancing."
Ginny quieted down and smiled to herself. Henna sighed. "You really do care for him don't you?"
Ginny's face changed and now looked ready to murder, but Henna wasn't backing down. "Well? You wouldn't get so worked up over him, if you didn't care for him! Tell me do you like him or not!" Henna said again furiously.
Ginny looked away, with a scowl. "I don't know." She finally said, still not looking at Henna's direction.
Henna sighed. "Fine, I don't care anymore."
Henna turned to leave; Ginny looked at her retreating back.
"Wait!" Ginny yelled.
Henna turned around and looked at her with no expression.
Ginny sighed and rubbed her face with her hands. " I-I...don't know exactly, but I feel as if I'm attracted to him."
Henna rolled her eyes. "You would have to be a lesbian to not think he's attractive. This is rubbish. But i'll let it go for right now, seeing as you, yourself do not know yet. Let's just not fight over this stupid thing?" Henna pleaded.
Ginny sighed again and smiled weakly. "Yes, I'm sorry for overreacting and yelling at you."
"Naw, it's okay. I deserved it all, but maybe not so harshly next time, okay? "Henna smiled and hugged Ginny.
Ginny let go and looked down, raising an eyebrow. "Next time?" Henna grinned
"Don't worry," Henna patted her shoulder. "You will laugh about this with your therapist one day." Ginny looked at her oddly wondering what a therapist was and they both walked out together with Henna giggling uncontrollably...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco finally left the library after Shifa and Samira left. When he read the letter, he didn't know what to think. His stomach gave odd flip flops but his mind was telling him this is stupid! Why would a girl write an idiotic letter to confess her feelings? Even if she had any. Hold up, back up. Never mind. He's had a million before. He's even had girls stalk him and give him candy and flowers as if he was a girl and they were a boy. But why is it so different with her? What is going on? Why is he getting odd flip flops in his belly? He was attracted her, any guy would be blind not to see it. But this felt a bit more. He wasn't quite sure, he has never been in this position and frankly it unnerved him. He walked back to the Slytherin Dungeons and went to his private quarters. He flopped on his couch, kicking off his black, well-polished shoes, laid back and sighed, closing his eyes.
Okay, so apparently the midget wrote letter? But why would she write a letter like that. Is she an idiot? And how does she know about the almost "kiss". Draco smiled with arrogance. So she talks about me, eh? Draco quickly recovered. Don't think such stupid things Draco! What would Father think? You attracted to a Weasley? The world is slowly becoming to dust, and we shall all perish soon. Draco sighed. I wish I knew why I feel this odd...almost pleasant feeling when I'm near her. I need to talk to Blaise.
Draco stopped abruptly.
Talk to Blaise? Gods, the world has fallen!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, was a beautiful day. The sun was up, but since it was still December, snow covered Hogwarts like a huge white blanket. Ginny just wanted to run out there and make snowmen and throw snowballs. But she couldn't. Why? She had less than ten days to have a performance ready. She had entered her name to McGonagall but wrote 'guest' as her partner. McGonagall trusted her so she didn't question. She just nodded and patted her shoulder, winking that she must have something brilliant in store. But she couldn't because...Draco Malfoy was not speaking to her, and for good reason. It seemed so long ago, but it was indeed just yesterday. She stayed up all night thinking of what to say. She needed to do this dance, no matter what now. She had to show the world that she could do this!
Shifa was sitting on her bed with a letter and reading it with enthusiasm; she would smile and giggle every now and then.
"What's in that letter, that's so funny?" Ginny asked. Henna and Samira were off finding new passage ways in the castle, and would be back soon.
Shifa looked up. "Hmm? Oh. Nothing." Shifa blushed and went back reading her letter.
"Is it a boy?" Ginny grinned.
Shifa looked up and smiled nervously. "Er, maybe."
"Will you tell me who it is?"
"Um...no?"
Ginny looked shocked. "Why not?"
"All in good time. I'm not ready yet."
Ginny looked ready to say something when Samira and Henna walked into their dorm.
Samira looked at Ginny and Shifa in their state. "What happened?"
"Shifa has a boy!" Ginny pointed at Shifa as if accusing her of doing something wrong.
"Do not!" Shifa retorted.
"Liar! You do too!"
Henna jumped up and down. "Na uh, really?"
Samira smiled "Tell us who it is!"
Shifa rolled her eyes. "No. As I was just telling Ginny that I'm not ready to say anything yet."
Samira sighed, giving up.
Ginny looked thoughtful. "You know, now that you've mentioned it, you've always had a random letter whenever you get your mail. I think you've been writing to this mystery boy since," Ginny counted in her head. "OH MY GOSH! IT'S BEEN ATLEAST A YEAR!"
Samira and Henna both looked dumbstruck.
Samira nodded. "Oh my gosh! I see it now! We just never noticed before!"
Shifa shrugged.
Henna felt betrayed. "I can't believe you didn't tell us! You've been hiding this boy for a year! Who is it! Tell us!"
Shifa shook her head. "No, not yet! I-I'm just not ready yet. I don't even know if this might last."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "And why not? You've been talking to this boy for a full year. I believe you've fallen in love with him at least!"
Shifa laughed.
Samira grinned.
Henna looked...well confused as always.
"But I just don't understand why you didn't tell us! I tell you everything!" Henna said jumping on her bed; like a kid.
"Which I don't want to know the details of, thank you very much!" Shifa gave a face of disgust.
"Hey! I don't do anything disgusting!--don't give me that look! I try to clean my room; it's just very...very hard." She finished lamely.
Henna pouted. Samira patted her head. "It's okay dear, you're pretty dirty but we love you that way."
"Not with boys!"
"True. But you're still disgusting."
Henna shrugged. "I am."
Ginny laughed. "Well will you tell us soon?"
Shifa smiled warmly. "Soon."
Samira walked over to bed, and started taking out her homework that needed to be finished when she squealed so loud, her three best friends knew the world's ears have popped.
"What!" All three of them said together.
Samira started to talk really fast and blushed furiously.
"What? Didn't catch that." Ginny tried to pat Samira's back.
"TOM IS COMING TODAY!" Samira squealed.
"OH MY GOD!" The three of them chorused.
"What am I going to wear? What will I say? I need to take a shower, shave my legs. My mustache! I have to wax it! " Samira ran around the room getting everything ready while her friends looked helplessly but grinned none-the-less.
Henna giggled. "Mustache."
Samira stopped and gave a glare. Henna held up her hands but laughed anyway.
"You know, Ginny," Shifa said looking at Ginny.
"I just noticed how dorky we really are."
Ginny nodded in agreement. "Indeed."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fab Four headed down to late breakfast that they were serving, since of winter (it was too cold to go early!) and looked all dolled up. Henna just incase she saw Blaise, Shifa just because, Ginny because she always was dolled up and Samira for her boyfriend, Tom.
Samira was getting jittery and nervously looking around everywhere incase she could catch sight of him.
"So obviously we can't find who he is, since only you know how he looks." Ginny said.
"Too true, don't forget to introduce us!" Shifa said with excitement.
Samira laughed and nodded.
They walked into the Great Hall and sat at their usual seats. Draco and Blaise walked in looking all high and mighty after them. The girls "Oohed" once again, but this time Ginny did not roll her eyes. She was fixedly staring at Draco, trying to get his attention. The Golden Trio wandered by and Ron noticed Ginny was staring at someone.
"Oi, Gin, who you looking at?" Ron turned to see where her eyes were leading.
Ginny jumped up and grabbed his face. "Ron! My dearest brother! How have you been?" she smiled sweetly.
Ron kept trying to look backwards to see who she was looking at but she merely held his face and smiled.
He raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to hide?" He asked with curiosity.
"Nothing."
Harry laughed his green eyes with amusement.
Hermione smiled warmly.
"Do they know something that I don't?" asked Ron.
Ginny looked at them. "No, I don't think so." She wondered, do they know of Draco? Er, Malfoy?
"We just heard someone tried out for the Dance Contest." Hermione smiled.
Ginny's eye got wide and let go of Ron in her hands.
Ron rubbed his face and his eyes narrowed. "Who?"
Harry walked over by Ginny and hugged her by the shoulders. "Our Gin-Gin, of course."
Ginny wanted to die. She didn't want her family knowing! Well not yet anyway! She didn't even know if she was still able to participate seeing as her partner wasn't speaking to her!
Ron spluttered. "You what?" He turned to Ginny and laughed.
"You?"
Ginny's face flushed. "Y-yes me."
Ron laughed again. "You can't dance! You're going to make a fool of yourself, you know it!"
Ginny's anger started to rise. "Excuse me, brother. But I actually do know how to dance."
"Right." He doubled over and laughed again.
Ginny huffed. "This is exactly why I don't tell you stupid people!" she screamed, and fled the Great Hall.
Her friends looked after her, knowing they couldn't do anything but let her be by herself. Ron quieted down but still had laughter in his eyes. Harry looked worried and so did Hermione.
"Maybe I should go after her." Harry turned to leave.
"I don't think you should. She needs to be alone. She already has enough troubles at this moment." Shifa said.
Harry turned around, looking concerned. "Troubles?"
"Yeah, what troubles?" Ron added in.
"Nothing, it's her business so we are not entitled to tell you." Shifa said.
"But I'm her bleeding brother!"
"Does it look like I care? Not my business, sorry." Shifa stated and smiled sweetly.
Ron just huffed. Harry and Hermione still looked concerned but let it drop.
"You wait till you see it, you'll be sorry!" Henna added in.
The Golden Trio left and the remaining Fab Four sat down and ate eagerly.
Henna looked up and noticed a certain silver-haired boy was missing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny walked around the corridors, just ignoring everyone in her path. This is exactly why she didn't want anyone to know that she was entering that damned contest. She wiped away a few angry tears that had slipped away. I hate being like this. I wish I could be a bit more defiant and stand up to people. But they can't take me seriously if I can't show them what I've got. Ginny sighed and kept on walking. She suddenly felt the hairs on her back stand on end and felt a presence behind her. She was alone in this empty corridor she had walked into. She closed her eyes and didn't even feel fear. She just sighed and said out loud.
"Leave me alone. I am not in the mood."
"Liar."
Ginny heard that familiar drawl lingering with a velvety softness that charmed not only women but men as well. Her breath stopped and she turned around slowly to see Draco Malfoy leaning on the wall with his hands in his pockets. His artic hair falling into his eyes and his smirk plastered on his face.
"Malfoy." That was all Ginny could say.
"Weasley." He inclined his head.
"Er,...what are you doing here?" She finally let it out. No use in beating around the bush.
"Saw your brother get all red-faced, wanted to know what you said. It was bloody hilarious."
Ginny huffed and looked away. "It was not hilarious."
Draco raised an elegant pale eyebrow. "Indeed?"
She turned and looked at him. "Why do you care?"
Draco shrugged his broad shoulders with grace. "I don't."
"Then why did you follow me?"
"For the pleasure of knowing what made you angry."
Ginny screamed in frustration. "Why does my misery always amuse you? Leave me the bloody hell alone!"
Draco got off the wall and slowly walked towards her. She looked alarmed and walked backwards until she hit the wall. Draco cornered her, his face lingering above her as he smirked his sexy smirk. She looked up and bit her lip, trying hard not to feel the pure pleasure of his body near her. He bent his head lower as his lips grazed her delicate ear.
"What if I don't want to?" He whispered. She gasped, Draco Malfoy...not wanting to leave her? What in the bloody hell is going on?
"W-what?" She finally got out. His lips left her ear and his face appeared in front of hers. She trembled, not knowing what was in his mind at the moment.
"Weasley...you are forgetting that you are like my slave...We had a deal. I do not deal with failures." She looked up, and sighed of relief but disappointed appeared to be there. She thought he was going to kiss her or something! What a completely ridiculous idea! The thought of it repulses me!
Ginny laughed a nervous laugh, making Draco raise an eyebrow. "Sorry, I just thought- Forget it. Yes. So that means you are still willing to be my partner after...you know." She looked away, getting shy and embarrassed.
Draco looked at her with a bit anger behind his eyes but he smirked anyway. "I don't give up, Weasley. You might be a pathetic partner but I don't deal well with losers. You will win this competition."
Ginny nodded. Ginny tried to leave but Draco was still in front of her, his body almost touching hers. She moved and her breasts touched his lower chest. Draco sucked in his breath and Ginny froze.
"If you wanted to leave Red, you could have said so." Draco said annoyed.
"Why do you stand so close to me then?" Ginny started.
Draco looked...well, angry. "Don't flatter yourself."
"I don't see you standing close to any other girl."
"Since when do you watch me with other girls?"
"I-I...Er, I don't! I just...know." She shrugged.
Draco rolled his eyes. "You really are pathetic."
Ginny smacked his arm. "Move you big oaf!" and tried to shove him.
He was apparently very heavy, and she felt all the muscles she was shoving beneath her fingers. But she was determined to push him and not think of the time she saw his upper half naked.
Draco lightly picked up her wrists that looked so weak next to his and merely picked her up and put her to the side.
She looked at him. " How dare you man-handle me!"
Draco just looked at her and sighed with boredom.
"Y-you! I hate you!"
"The feeling is completely mutual."
"ARGH!" She screamed, stomping on his foot, and ran to her first class which she was horribly late to.
Draco yelped and grabbed his foot. "Bloody bitch is trying to kill me, I swear." He hissed, nursing his foot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samira came back to the common room, flushed and red in the face. She raced to her dorms to summon her friends.
"Guys! He's here! Come and meet him!"
The three girls looked up and squealed running after Samira. Samira stopped abruptly at the common room door and composed her self and walked out gracefully. Henna snickered as Ginny and Shifa followed.
Samira stood by her man and they all looked at him with awe.
Tom Felton, who was a tall boy around 6 feet, had golden brown hair cut short which he spiked. His eyes blue like ice, his smile warm and friendly with full pink lips. He had nice broad shoulders, a jaw which was strong. His narrow waist perfect to hold onto. This man was beautiful, and the girls were jealous. But...he looked like someone they knew but could not figure it out.
Henna stepped up, smiling a goofy smile and held out her hand. "Hello! My name is Henna. I'm Sam's bud, bud! What's up, yo!"
Tom laughed and shook her hand. "This is the little demon you we're talking about?"
Samira laughed and nodded, linking her arm into his.
"Demon? What did you say?" Henna said jumping up and down, when Shifa and Ginny approached him.
"Hello, Tom. I'm Shifa. Nice to meet you. "Shifa held out her and Tom shook it, smiling gratefully.
"Guys! Samira! What did you write about me?" Henna jumped up and down.
"Hello." He said.
"Hi, I'm Ginny. Nice to meet you too." Tom shook her hand as well.
"Yall are so mean!" Henna gave up.
Tom cleared his throat."I would like to have dinner with all of you and hear of your wonderful adventures you have here at Hogwarts." Tom said and held onto Samira's waist.
"Oh, how lovely." Shifa said. "That would be nice."
Ginny nudged Henna beside her and whispered. "He's quite fancy, and really cute."
"Heck yeah he is, but doesn't he look like someone?"
Ginny squinted her eyes and nodded. "Yeah...but who?" Henna shrugged.
They all walked to the Great Hall for dinner, with Samira and Tom in the back holding hands.
"I'm really glad, Sam found her guy." Shifa said.
"Yeah, I'm really happy for her." Ginny said agreeing.
"Yep...But I want that too." Henna said sighing.
Ginny smiled and nodded. "We all want that some day."
They sat down and Tom explained to them that he loved muggle things. Such as cars and fishing. He wants to study fishery, his older brother got him into it and he has been in love ever since. Then the girls all had turns telling of their famous prank stories, leaving the previous one out. Samira would gaze at him adoringly while Henna was transfixed at his exciting stories; Shifa was listening but gazing off into the windows, perhaps waiting for an owl. And Ginny, well she was beyond pissed but felt excited that her friend had someone. She just couldn't get Draco Bloody Malfoy out of her mind. He was torturing her...yeah that was it. He did say it would be like torture, but Merlin! This was insane; he's torturing her without even touching anything to her! Maybe she needed to be touched. Wait--what?
There was a screech and an owl flew by and landed next to...Henna?
Shifa looked disappointed.
"Why did I get?" Henna asked, grabbing the letter and paid the owl.
Samira looked curiously as well as Ginny.
Henna opened up her letter and her eyes were completely wide by the end of the letter.
"OH MY GOD!" She screamed.
"What?" The three of them chorused, Tom laughed, loving how they seemed all alike.
"My sister...my younger sister is getting...MARRIED!" Henna said shocked.
"M-married?" Ginny stuttered. "But she's like twelve!"
"Sana is not." Samira rolled her eyes. "She's fifteen, young but if she's in love we cannot do anything."
Shifa laughed. "Too true, But she's so young! I can't believe your parent's allowed this."
"Hmm, I know. I guess she must really love him." Henna shrugged. "Why is everyone in love but me? This sucks arse."
"Every one is not in love." Ginny gave her a pointed look. Henna stuck out her tongue.
"Anyway, since we're brown; Pakistani. Our weddings are very different. There's about like ten parties." Henna said folding up the letter.
"Ten parties? You serious?" Ginny asked. The three of them nodded.
"But since she's getting married later like in a couple of years they are having her engagement next year, her first party which is called a dolki is this Sunday, and all of yall are invited. You too Tom." Henna smiled.
Tom nodded. "Thank you very much."
"What's a dolki?" Ginny asked.
"It's usually an all girl party where they put on Henna on the brides hands and they dance for the bride. Its loads of fun. Then later the groom side comes and we battle!" Henna said excitedly.
"Battle?" Tom said curiously.
"Not battle, like I kill you, battle. Both sides have a drum and we basically have a sing-off contest. Who ever is louder and boo's the other team, wins. We usually lose, our side sucks. "Henna shrugged and laughed.
"Oh." Tom said and smiled.
"Then we take the grooms shoes and hide them."
"Why?" Ginny and Tom asked. Shifa and Samira seemed to enjoy seeing their confused faces.
"When he leaves, he needs shoes right? Well, since the bride gets presents. We want something too, hey they are taking our sister away!So in order to get his shoes back, he gives us money. And we don't give it back until we like the amount. It's so much fun! But lately, they've gotten smart, they bring extra shoes." Henna pouted.
Ginny and Tom still looked confused and wondered how this was "fun."
"Well since it's a girl party, er, why is Tom invited?--no offense." Ginny looked in his direction.
"None taken, I'd like to know too." Tom laughed.
"Oh, I love showing off my culture and I want a lot of people to be there. So we can say you're from the groom side, no one will know!" Henna smiled.
"Er, we aren't brown." Ginny said.
Henna laughed. "I doubt the groom will be brown as well, no worries."
Ginny and Tom nodded, slowly liking the idea.
"Well with that said and done...I have to do something. Tata!" Henna jumped up and fled the Great Hall.
"I wonder if she's going to kill her sister." Shifa pondered.
"That would be fun to watch, seeing as she's taller than her." Samira laughed.
Ginny laughed. "That's so mean."
"Well ladies, it's been a pleasure, but Samira and I will be taking a walk now." Tom said standing up.
A couple of girls walked by and whispered. He looked at them, smiling and they giggled.
Ginny murmured. "So he has charm with the ladies as well."
Shifa nudged her. "What?"
Ginny shook her head. "Nothing."
Samira stood up and brushed off the imaginary dust on her robes. "Yes, I'll see you guys later."
Tom and Samira left holding hands and the girls stared at them enviously.
Shifa nudged Ginny again.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Want to spy?" Shifa said with a glint of mischief in her eye.
"Gross, I don't want to know what they are doing." Ginny gave a look.
Shifa laughed. "Just from the hallway."
Ginny shook her head. "No."
"You know you want too, you're as curious as I am."
Silence.
"Argh, fine."
They both stood up and peaked out from the Great Hall doors. They saw Samira giggle at something Tom said, both of them alone in the hallway. Samira pushed his arm playfully and Tom grabbed her waist.
Ginny gasped. "o0o! It's getting juicy!" She whispered.
Shifa giggled. "How cute!"
Tom pushed her against the wall, and Samira blushed turning the other way. Tom gradually brought his fingertips to grab her chin, and moved her face towards him. Samira smiled and Tom brought his lips lower until they barely touched her lips. Samira shivered, loving the moment right before the actual kiss happened. His lips brushed hers slowly, feeling like pure bliss. Samira's eyes fluttered closed and her arms wrapped around his neck. He finally couldn't resist and began giving feverish kisses, coaxing her mouth to open with tongue. Samira gave in and they were at it.
Ginny closed her eyes with her hands. "Oh, oh! Er, that's enough spying. Let's let them have their privacy."
Shifa nodded and closed her eyes as well. "I agree."
They both turned around, returning to the Great Hall, giggling like little girls.
Ginny sighed." They are both so in love."
Shifa smiled. "They are."
"Lucky bitch." Ginny pouted, and Shifa laughed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henna walked around until she saw a certain white-haired Slytherin, walking by. Henna jumped out and startled the crap out of Malfoy.
"Gods, Midget." Grabbing his chest. "Want to kill me?"
Henna smiled a goofy smile. "Would be nice."
Malfoy composed himself and rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"
Henna shifted on her feet, and touched her robes in a nervous habit.
Draco folded his arms. "I don't have all day."
"Well, I just wanted to say. Sorry about before...the letter." Henna finally said.
Draco just merely looked at her. "Right."
"I'm serious." Henna looked up.
"I said right."
"But you said in a way where it's sarcastic."
"Did not." Draco said indignantly.
"Did too." Henna said.
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did-Ahmed!"
Henna looked up innocently. "Yes?"
"Anything else?" Draco said his patience growing short.
"Maybe." Henna shrugged nonchalantly.
Draco waited. "Well?" He said after a few seconds.
"Oh, you want me to tell you now?"
Draco's anger started to rise, and his eyes began to bulge.
Henna laughed, and punched his shoulder. "Calm down, old man. You know, we might have to work on your people skills."
Draco looked ready to kill. Henna laughed again. "Well... you see my sister is getting married and I just wanted to invite you and Blaise Zabini to come along."
Draco stopped and looked at her quizzically. "What? You're joking."
"Don't get your panties in a bunch. I know it's odd, me inviting you, but you have become close to my bud, bud; Gin, so I want you there. And of course you won't go alone so have Zabini come too. Take it as a sorry present from me, from before."
"I am not close to her!" Draco said incredulously, completely ignoring the words after that sentence.
"Right." It was Henna's turn to roll her eyes.
"I don't."
"Do."
"Don't."
"Don't."
"Do." Draco looked triumphant and then stopped, Henna smiled.
"You're annoying."
"Eh, it's in my blood. You'll get used to it. "Henna laughed.
"I am not coming, thanks for the invite."
"Yes you are."
"I am not."
"Look, it's a dance party as well. We all dance and I want Ginny to dance too, she's very shy. If you're there maybe she will. She loves dancing with you and I know I haven't seen yall together but it seems as though you might love it too."
Draco stood silent.
"Think about it, owl me once you have decided. It's this Sunday. That's in two days, I'm going to need a reply very soon." and with that Henna walked away.
Draco looked at her retreating back.
This is the second time I've seen her today...it seems fishy, but it couldn't be horrible right?...No Draco, old boy! You cannot even think of setting foot to a muggle-born house. Out of question!

The next day, the remaining of Fab Four went to the Great Hall, seeing as Samira did not return last night. They saw Samira and Tom sitting at their usual spot and the three of them gave her knowing glances, Samira blushed.
"Hmm, I believe I see a certain glow to you dear. What happened?" Ginny asked teasingly.
"Hmm, new night cream, I suppose?" Shifa said playing along.
"Is the night cream called Tom Felton?" Henna said and snickered loudly, that set off the other two girls.
Samira blushed furiously and Tom laughed lightly.
"I hate you all." Samira said hiding in Tom's shirt.
They all ignored her and continued to laugh. Just then a tawny owl flew by and landed next to Henna once again.
"From home again?" Ginny asked.
Henna shrugged and opened the letter. She read the letter, wrote down something and sent it back.
"What happened?" Shifa asked.
"Oh, nothing." Henna smiled.
No one else noticed that the tawny owl dropped the letter quickly to a certain silver haired boy and flew off.
He opened up the letter and it said:
Thanks for agreeing to come, 4 o'clock p.m. sharp. Floo name: Ahmed's Nonesuch Place. I'll tell you about the attire in the next owl. --Midget.

(A/N: OMG Sorry it took me forever to write this damn chapter! I'm soo incredibly sorry! I hope you all forgive me! Nonesuch place came to me, because believe it or not that's my real street address. 115 Nonesuch Place. Lol. I love it! People always tell me to repeat it or be serious. I'm like I am! But sadly, we moved and now it's Byron Circle. And again sadly not named after gorgeous Lord Byron but Byron Nelson –shrugs-. Lol so my story is becoming very diverse. I like it! Hmmm, so Draco agreed to go..what will go down? I don't know! Reviews are nice, maybe I'll type for more reviews! Let's try to get it to 200, yeah?
I'll thank every single one of you personally after my story is finished, which I intend to do! I won't abandon it! I promise! I love you all and thanks for still reading my story!
Love, Henna.)
