Chapter 2: Late Night Chit-Chat
Finally Ginny made it back up to the Gryffindor Tower. The common room was empty as she entered through the passage way. She couldn't even imagine the explosion that would occur if Ron or Harry ever found out that she had been sneaking around the castle grounds at night. Quickly she snuck back into the girl's dorm where Hermione was waiting for her anxiously. A relieved expression passed over Hermione's face as she saw her friend enter. Throwing her arms around Ginny, she sighed. "I'm sorry, it's just..."
Ginny answered for her. "You don't trust him."
Hermione frowned, "I don't doubt that something about Mal- Draco has changed but it's still hard to sleep knowing that you're out there with him all alone." Ginny was partially angered at this, she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself, but than again Hermione was one of her best friends. She was just looking out for her.
"It's OK 'Mione, but you have to understand. I love him!" It was odd telling someone besides Draco that, but it was true all the same.
Ginny shook her head. "I know, but he would never understand. You saw how he was when I was dating Colin. He's just so overprotective." If Ron knew that she was going out with Draco he would murder the both of them. Not to mention there was also Harry to deal with.
"I bet if he had a girlfriend than he would lay off some," Ginny said, almost pleading.
Hermione began to blush. "Oh don't be silly-"
"You're both crazy about each other and you know it!" Ginny replied getting to the point. Everyone was just waiting for the two of them to get together, they just needed a push in the right direction.
"Well, there is a school dance coming up soon, maybe I could-" Hermione trailed off, her face growing an even darker shade of red.
Ginny threw her arms around her friend. "Thank you!"
Hermione yawned, "Hey well, I'm going to get some sleep Gin. Don't stay up too late." Ginny soon realized how heavy her eyelids felt. Shit! She still had a Potions assignment to do. Grabbing her schoolbag she drug herself down into the common room and forced herself to work on her homework.
The heat of the fire only seemed to make her even more tired, and she fought to keep her eyes open. Finally when she was done she made her way eagerly back into the dorm. Not even bothering to change into her pajamas, she plopped herself into bed and fell asleep.
