What's wrong with me?
Chapter 3"What do you have first?" Ginny asked. "The boyfriend or marriage?"
"Ginny hello, boyfriend." Lavender said.
"Well, you do know that there are some people, that just skip dating, and go straight into marriage." Ginny said looking up from her book.
"Yeah, and those people are always the ones that end up with a divorce." Lavender said sarcastically.
"That's not always true." Ginny said. "Ok…say if both of those people were completely opposite and were thinking about dating or getting married?"
"Well one, there stupid…and two, why the hell would you want to marry someone that is completely opposite of you?" Lavender said.
"Well, it just makes it more fun is all."
"Fun?" Lavender said then looked up at Ginny. "How the hell is that fun Ginny? You would think that you'd want to marry someone you're in love with don't you?" she said to Ginny who was now looking back at her.
"Well yeah, but say I was already in love with him."
"Um…well then your screwed." Lavender said. "Come on Ginny, you cannot be in love with someone you hate, it…it just doesn't work like that."
"Then how does it work, because believe me, I think I'd know if I was in love with somebody." Ginny said raising her voice just a little higher.
"Who?" Lavender said as Professor Snape came up behind them, reading someone's book; he had it up very close to his face, as if he was trying to hide himself. "Who is it then?"
"I'm not going to tell you, you'll laugh at me." She said back to her, both girls not even noticing that there Professor was standing right behind them.
"Oh…come on Ginny, I want to know who you're in love with." Lavender said again.
"No." Ginny said then stood up, paused, then gave her notebook to Snape, who took it, and she walked away. "Your just going to laugh is all." She said quickly as she grabbed her book bag then walked away.
Ginny had been walking down the hallways for a while now alone. No one else was walking around; it felt pretty much like a ghost town or something. After hearing some strange noises every once in a while, she began to walk faster. Right when she was about to turn the corner, she ran into Draco Malfoy. She screamed and fell backwards, falling on the ground.
She heard laughter and looked up at him. "What's the rush Weasley…it looks like you just saw a ghost?" he said playfully as he reached a hand out to her to help her up. She grabbed it and he pulled her up.
"I'm fine." Ginny said gathering herself together.
"Really?" Draco said coming forward, now only an inch away from her. "So…why do you look so scared?"
"No reason." She said. "I just thought that someone was following me is all."
"Oh…and why would someone want to follow you?" he asked. "Besides if someone was following you, I think I'd know." He said closing the space between them. He leaned his head down coming down to kiss her but was stopped.
"Draco…what if someone sees?" she said panicked.
"Don't worry so much Ginny, no one's in the hallways, there vacant…were alone…and it's safe." He said then went down and kissed her wrapping his arms around his waist pushing her into him as he deepened the kiss. Just as she was about to kiss him back, he pulled away. "God, I missed you." Draco whispered into her ear. "So…how was your summer?"
"Fine." She said. "What about yours?"
"What did you do over the summer?" he asked her again.
"Well I went to Hawaii for a couple of weeks." Ginny said to him smiling. "Well I actually was in Egypt for most of the time and my dad just wanted to fly by a plane. He was curious on how they worked so we were taking a plane back, and the pilot had to land it because of this crazy lady, so we ended up staying in Hawaii for a bit."
"Hawaii…but wouldn't you already be closer to London?" he asked her.
"Yeah, my dad wanted to take the extra long flight around the United States then to England. He's just fascinated with muggle's. So he likes to try new things."
"Yeah…did you hear what happened to, Potter and Cho?" Draco asked her.
"Yeah I did, and I really feel bad for him." she said wrapping her arms around his neck. "I thought they were such a cute couple."
"Yeah well, it turns out she left him for an old friend she met up with in Hawaii…or was it that she ran into him in Hawaii this summer?" Draco said, "Oh well, it was something like that." He said then looked at her for a while not saying anything, just thinking. "Hey wouldn't it be funny if Cho left Potter for your brother?"
"No…and besides Ron hates Cho Chang, he was the one trying to stop them from getting together, don't you remember?" Ginny said.
"Oh…yeah that was him wasn't it?" Draco said. "He probably just didn't want them to get together because he wanted her for himself…but it would still be funny." He said then paused. "…And to just see Potters reaction when he found out, damn…that would be worth seeing." He said and Ginny hit him.
"No that wouldn't be funny because Harry's a good friend of my family and Ron is my brother!"
"Oh, come on, you wouldn't pay to see Potter kick Weasley's ass?" he asked her.
"No…I cannot believe you would even think Ron of all people, would do that to his best friend." She said letting go of him.
"Oh come on, like, you think he's innocent!" Draco said and Ginny turned and looked at him.
"I cannot believe you." She yelled, "Listen Malfoy, he is my brother and I know that he would never hurt Harry like that."
"Well he seems to be bragging about it an awful lot." Draco yelled back at her. "Listen Ginny, I'm just saying, I'm not accusing him of doing anything."
"Right…and I believe that?" she said turning away from him. "Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"
"Yeah, the Professor let me out because I told her I wasn't feeling well and I asked her if I could go to see Madam Pomfrey." Draco said coming back to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and put his chin on her head. "I'm sorry Gin, I didn't mean to make you mad."
"Whatever." She said.
"Ginny, I'm sorry baby." He said again.
"Its fine…I should get going I have to go and get my things for my next class." She said.
"Ok, but are you sure your alright?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine." She said and he let go of her. "I'll see you later." She said as she started to walk down the hall.
"Hey Ginny?" Draco called down to her and she stopped and turned back towards him.
"Yeah?"
"Meet me at my prefect room later on tonight." He said. "Around nine."
"Alright." She said then turned back around and left.
"I'm telling you that's not going to work, Neville." Hermione said sitting down at an empty table.
"Of course it will…if it's written in this book it will work." He said giving her the book.
"Why are you giving this to me?" she asked him.
"Because he doesn't know how to read." Ron said coming up and putting his stuff at an empty table, next to where Hermione was sitting.
"No, see he can read, I just don't know if you can or not."
"I can read!" Ron yelled back at her.
"Well at this age I sure hope you can." She said in reply.
"I just told you I can read. What are you stupid or just deaf?" Ron said.
"Yes I know what you said, and I sure hope you can read by now." She repeated.
"Ron just drop it." Harry said coming up and putting his things next to his.
"No, she's saying that I can't read." He said to Harry. "No, I want to sit there, that way I don't have to sit right next to that." He said pointing at Hermione.
"Was that actually supposed to hurt me?" Hermione asked him.
"Why is it working?" Harry asked her.
"Not even close." She said and gave Neville back his book.
"Hermione." Neville said and she looked at him. "What about this one?"
"No, Neville, we never learned that spell yet." she said sitting down.
"I don't think he learned anything yet, if you ask me." Seamus said sitting down behind Ron and Harry.
"Shut up." Hermione said. "If anything, he's smarter then you'll ever be."
"Yeah that's great, stick up for your boyfriend now." Seamus said.
"He's not my boyfriend." She said.
"Seriously." Neville said. "Hermione is like a sister to me."
"Well, that just make's it even more gross." Ron said.
"Why don't you do us all a favor and shut that mouth of yours." Hermione said. "Or maybe you could always go and complain about how I'm being a horrible person, to your girlfriend." She said and Harry and Seamus laughed.
"Granger, Ronald here doesn't have a girlfriend…and if he did we would know about it." Harry said to her.
"Well it looks like you don't tell your friends everything, now do you?" Hermione said to Ron.
"Wait a minute…you mean to say that Ronald here…has a girlfriend?" Seamus said. "Who?"
Ron was looking at Hermione with a nasty look on his face, she looked at him then said, "I…I don't know."
"Damn, Ron who is it?" Seamus asked him.
"I don't know what she's talking about? I don't have a girlfriend." Ron said, still looking at Hermione.
"Oh come on man, you can tell us you know." Harry said to him. "Come on who is it?"
"Yeah Ronald, who is it?" Hermione asked him in a nasty tone.
"Luna Lovegood." Was all he said. "Alright, it's Luna, she's my girlfriend." Ron said and they all just stared at him.
"Luna?" Harry said.
"No." Hermione said.
"Lovegood?" Seamus said. "Her…of all the ladies here, you picked her?"
"What I really like her." Ron said. "Is that so hard to believe?"
"When did this happen?" Harry asked him.
"I asked her out when I was in Egypt with my family this summer." Ron said. "Apparently, she goes there every summer with her family, and this year I ran into her and I asked her out."
"Wow…you must really be desperate." Seamus said.
"What?" Ron said to him. "Come on guys…I really like her, she nice and sweet and she actually listens to what you have to say."
"Sounds like Hermione, to me." Neville said.
"Yeah, your girlfriend, we all know you like her, so stop denying it." Seamus said.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Neville yelled.
"Seriously guys, I'm not his girlfriend, he actually has one by the way." Hermione said then turned her attention towards the front of the room as the teacher walked in.
"Great even Longbottom has a girlfriend." Harry said. "I hate being alone."
"Yeah, I think we should go girl hunting today." Ron said, and Hermione looked at him out of the corner of her eyes.
"No…I don't feel like it." Harry said, sitting down in his chair. "You two go on ahead."
"You sure?" Seamus asked.
"Yeah." He said then the Professor walked in the room.
"If everyone could take their seats so we could get started." Professor McGonnal said as three aurur's walked in the room. "Today we have three very special guest." She said quite pleased. "We have Mr. John Adams, Mr. James Potter, and Mr. Christopher Switch." She said pointing at them when she said their name. "They are just here to talk to you about your future and well…to tell you about themselves. So please be polite and give them good respect." She said then walked away.
"Harry, your dad's here?" Ron said to him.
"Yeah, unfortunately this day couldn't get any worse." Harry said, slouching down in his chair. Hermione however seem instead in this and sat up in her chair. She asked them questions whenever she could.
An hour later a bell rang and class ended. As they were all leaving Mr. Potter pulled Hermione aside. Harry seemed to notice this and stopped.
"You seem like a bright girl, Miss. Granger?" he said to her.
"Yes, well certain things interest me." She said. "…and I like to learn about whatever I can."
"Yes, well at least you don't have problems asking questions, like, some of these other students do."
"Yeah well, see…if you ask a question you're a fool for a minute, but if you don't ask one you're a fool for a life time." She said to him.
"Nicely put." he said as Harry came over next to his dad. "Harry, hey how are you holding up? I heard about you and Cho splitting up…and I'm really sorry."
"Yeah well it had to happen sooner or later." He said.
"Alright, but if you need to talk just write to me and I'll come and pull you out of class or something and we can have a father son kind of day." Mr. Potter said.
"Ok." Was all Harry said.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Miss. Granger." He said shaking her hand. "…and I hope I see you again." He said letting go of her hand. "But I'm sorry because we have to go." He said to them.
"It was nice to meet you to." She said then walked away with Harry right behind her.
"What the hell was that?" Harry asked her and she stopped and turned to him.
"Nothing, he just wanted to talk is all." Hermione said to him then started walking again. Harry ran up behind her and grabbed her arm and spun her around.
"Remember how you said I could talk to you whenever I wanted to or needed to?" he asked her.
"Yeah…how can I forget." She said then sighed.
"You act like it's a bad thing." He said. "But anyways, can I maybe…talk to you now?" he asked.
"Yeah, after dinner maybe because I have to get to class right now." She said.
"Ok, eight o'clock, prefect sweet, I'll stop at the Great Hall and grab food." He said as she was about to complain.
"Fine." She said then walked away.
(Eight o'clock at night, Prefect Sweet)
"So…what's been bothering you?" she asked him as he walked in her room.
He jumped not knowing that she was there already. "Um…you got here fast."
"Yeah."
"How did you beat me here? I mean we just came from the same class." Harry asked sitting down on the edge of her bed.
"I walked." Was all she said. "So why did you need to talk to me tonight?"
"Ok, how does Neville get a girlfriend and not me?"
"Oh, my God, please tell me I'm not missing dinner just to hear about this?" Hermione said then sighed.
"Come on Hermione, you're supposed to be helping me…remember?"
"Ok, just because Neville has a girlfriend doesn't mean you can't get one yourself." She said then paused. "Wait a minute."
"What?" Harry said looking in her eyes.
"Luna Lovegood."
"What about her?"
"She's not dating Ron." Hermione said.
"What…yeah she is, Ron even said they were dating." Harry said.
"Harry, I swear if someone told you I was a billionaire you'd probably believe it." She said to him. "Luna is Neville's girlfriend, they've been dating for about a year now."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that she's not Ron's girlfriend, and plus Luna has never been to Egypt before in her life."
"So what are you saying again?"
"Ron's trying to cover up who is real girlfriend is." She said to him, coming over towards him.
"Meaning?" he asked her.
"Listen, Harry I think I may know who Ron's girlfriend is?"
"Who?"
"You're not going to like it."
"Come on Hermione, I can handle anything…who is she?" he said.
"I think Ron might be dating…" she said then paused. "I think he might be dating, Cho Chang."
Harry got up from her bed. "What!" he yelled. "No, that's impossible, he hates her!"
"He did try and stop you two from dating in the first place didn't he?"
"Well yeah, but that doesn't mean…he likes her or anything."
"Harry…if you put the facts together, it all makes since. I mean on the train he came back with lipstick on his cheek, and he keeps bragging about Cho leaving you for someone else."
"It happened in Hawaii?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's what people are saying, why?"
"Because Ron was in Hawaii for about two weeks with his family." Harry said now pissed.
"What are you trying to say?" she asked him getting up and standing next to him.
"I'm saying, I'm going to kill his fucking ass!" Harry yelled and walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?" she yelled.
"To kill my ex-best friend!" he yelled back slamming the portrait door behind him.
