Chapter Ten
"Ginny, wake up," Draco whispered gently into her ear. Ginny woke up slowly. She smiled up at him, before remembering what had happened less than 24 hours ago.
"Oh Draco, I'm so sorry… I don't know what I was thinking… It was stupid and I'll never do it again, ever. I was just feeling so low about… about a lot of things and I guess I wanted the easy way out… won't do it again, honest…" Ginny felt suddenly ashamed of herself. She hid her face, wishing she could take it all back… She started to cry again, realizing how close she had come to losing everything over a moment of weakness…
She felt strong arms wrap around her as she buried her head in Draco's chest.
"It's ok Gin, it's over now, don't worry about a thing," he cooed. Suddenly Ginny felt very childish.
"Promise?"
"Cross my heart," Draco swore, solemnly, making her choke on her tears in her effort to laugh.
"If you hadn't come in at that moment…" she shuddered, as they both struggled to push the moment out of their minds, repressing it.
"Hey, for a change, I decided to make you pancakes," he said, bringing forth a plateful of slightly burnt pancakes. She clapped her hands delightedly and he smiled as she wriggled out of his grasp.
"Yum," she said, taking a bite. Draco glanced at his watch.
"I'm sorry to say this Gin, but I have to get going. You'll be fine on your own, right?" Draco asked apologetically.
"I'll survive," she smiled at his concern. He squeezed her hand reassuringly and left.
Ginny sat on the bed, wondering what to do. Bored, she decided to go downstairs and read the newspaper. It had been ages since she'd had any news from the outside, and she was curious as to what she would find. She never got that far though, as the doorbell rang as soon as reached the bottom of the steps. Figuring it would probably be Draco, she threw open the door, giggling.
"Oh, hi Pansy," Ginny said, not bothering to keep the hate from showing in her voice.
"Is Draco here?" Pansy asked, examining herself in a small mirror, which she then closed with a snap, and returned to her bag.
"Nope," Ginny said, eyeing Pansy with distaste.
"I'll wait for him here then," Pansy said, smiling. Oh crap, now what?
"Actually, you can't, I'm afraid. I'm cleaning out the house, and it's a terrible mess. I doubt Draco would want anyone as important to him as you are to see the house in such disarray," Ginny invented wildly, before organizing her face into a very smug expression. "Well, if that's all…" Ginny shut the door in Pansy's face. Taking a deep breath, Ginny decided to upstairs and explore Draco's room. Going up three steps at a time, she arrived breathless, and walked into his room unhesitatingly. Laughing at her own daring, she began to pick through the mess. She found quite a few bras, no doubt left behind by past lovers, as they were all different sizes. She found a lot of trophies, and old newspapers, which she set aside. Then she found a box full of Potter Stinks badges, which made her heart beat slightly faster but not as much as it would have months ago.
Ginny continued to look around, intrigued by the things she found. Suddenly, she heard quick footsteps behind her, and she turned around, startled—
