Chapter Six
Ginny woke up feeling grumpy, and her mood didn't improve when she saw Pansy Parkinson wearing Draco's bathrobe and sipping coffee.
"Good morning," she grunted.
"Whatever," Pansy said, not bothering to look up. Ginny's hands curled up into fists and it took all her self-control not to punch Pansy. Draco walked in carrying another cup of coffee.
"Good morning my love," he said, settling himself next to Pansy and kissing her on the cheek. "Get us more coffee, Ginny. These are becoming cold." Ginny was glad to have an excuse to leave the room. She couldn't explain the feeling that was burning her insides, eating away at her… She returned to find the couple feverishly kissing again, with a lot of tongue work. Ginny looked away embarrassed as she put down the cups of coffee. Draco pulled away from Pansy almost reluctantly as he picked up his cup.
Pansy smiled evilly at Ginny, and Ginny took this to mean that she should leave very quickly or she'd be in big trouble.
"Ginny," Pansy purred. "Would you mind running upstairs to Draco's room and getting me my slippers? I think I left them under the bed last time I came here." Ginny ran upstairs to retrieve the slippers. She set them down next to Pansy's feet and started to walk away.
"Ginny," Pansy said again.
"Yes?"
"Could you please go and get me my camera? I want you to take a picture of me and Draco," Pansy smiled sweetly as Ginny stomped back up the stairs.
"Say cheese," Ginny said, as she held the camera. Pansy didn't smile. Instead she reached over and kissed Draco, indicating with her hand that Ginny should take the picture like that. Grinning, Ginny zoomed in on a pimple she had noticed on Pansy's face earlier, and took the picture. Ginny left the camera on the table and started to leave.
"Ginny? Could you just run upstairs and get me a cushion for my back?" Ginny trudged up the stairs again and returned with a pillow. This time, Ginny almost ran out of the room, but she was soon stopped.
"Ginny?"
"NO! SHUT UP! Get your own bloody stuff! You wouldn't mind would you? What are you, handicapped?" Ginny took a deep breath and sprinted out the room and up the stairs, into her room. Ten minutes later, someone called her name again, but it wasn't Pansy.
"You did a very stupid thing," Draco said quietly. "I can't let you embarrass me like that again. I command you not to."
"Sorry," Ginny said, not daring to look at him.
"Now I will be going out this evening, and I'm trusting you to behave while I'm gone. Not that you can do much, but just remember that any mess you make, you'll have to clean up yourself. Understand?"
"Yes."
"Good." Draco turned to go.
"What do you see in her?" she said softly, but if Draco heard, he continued on his way out. As soon as she heard the door close, she lay back down on her bed. Oh, Harry… what's taking you so long? Why haven't you saved me yet? You said you'd come back for me… Why didn't you? Where are you? Have you forgotten me? I haven't forgotten you…
Ginny closed her eyes and went to sleep. Hours later, she woke up with a start.
"GINNY!" The shout was one of pain, and she rushed downstairs. Draco was lying on the ground, badly bruised. It would be so easy to take his wand and run…
