"What does she think she's doing in the middle of the hallway?" asked Colin, staring at Ginny's sleeping form. Beside him stood Neville Longbottom, looking as cute as ever.
Neville shrugged. "Maybe she got drunk?" he suggested, now kicking Ginny's arm, making her stir.
"Ugghh .. Just five more minutes, Ron." Ginny than laid still.
"I really like her shoes, it makes her hair look oh so delectable." said Colin, tilting his head to get a better look at the girls burgundy colored shoes.
Neville looked at him curiously. "Her shoes? They're red .. Nothing to get all excited about."
"They are NOT red, Nev. They are BURGUNDY. And a very nice burgundy at that." replied Colin, his hands on his hips.
"You're even fruitier than I thought. Not gay are we, Colin?" joked Neville, wiggling his eyebrows and nudging him in the ribs.
Colin let out a nervous laugh. "Hah! Me? Gay? Never!" He swallowed the built up spit in his mouth and turned away for a second.
Neville didn't notice Colin's uneasiness, so he just continued joking around with him and trying to wake Ginny up. Neville leaned close to Ginny's ear and screamed, "AAAAHHHHH OMG VOLDEMORT AAAHHH!"
You would think Neville would be afraid of saying the evil wizard's name, but he's grown since then. He was no longer that chubby and shy boy back in third year, he was now lean and muscular. He also had the ability to make girls drool. Being seventeen did have its perks.
Ginny woke up in a start, her hair mashed together and her robes wrinkled. "Bloody hell!" she yelled, taking in her surroundings and realizing that she was situated on the floor with Neville and Colin hovering over her. "What happened to me?!"
Colin rolled his eyes. "Well, you didn't come back to the common room last night. We went looking for you this morning and found you here. What the bloody hell were you doing?!"
Ginny thought for a second.
What was I doing?
I took a walk by the lake .. Waiting to see Draco .. Then when it was time I went to his common room .. We .. Ginny's confused face turned into a scowl .. We made love .. He told me to leave .. I walked around .. Stumbled upon Filch .. Heard someone moaning .. And then ..
OH GODS!
Ginny got up and dusted off her robes, tripping in the process. Colin and Neville helped her up, giving each other worried glances. "Ginny, did you happen to see Hermione last night? She didn't get in either." said Neville, still holding her by the wrist.
Ginny opened her mouth to speak, "She .. Um .. Had a lot of studying to do. She told me to tell you guys but .. I um .. Forgot .. And somehow ended up here."
They didn't look like they believed her at first, but didn't press it any further. "Come on, let's go eat some breakfast!" said Ginny hungrily.
She had to find Hermione and talk to her. Everything was just getting out of hand.
Ginny didn't see Hermione or Blaise at breakfast. This got her worried. Her thoughts on Draco and his odd behavior were pushed aside, for right now she needed answers and Hermione was the only one to give them to her.
Walking to her Potions class, with Colin by her side, she eyed every person she passed by, hoping to spot the busy haired girl.
Colin was going on about how pink was the new orange, or was it orange the new pink? Oh it didn't matter! Ginny was preoccupied at the moment.
Relief spread all over Ginny's face when she finally saw Hermione chatting, more like arguing, with Professor Snape in the front of the class.
Ginny took this as an opportunity and immediately ran to the girl. Making sure they were both finished talking, Ginny spoke up, "Hermione we need to talk!" she whispered.
Hermione gave her a concerned look and questioned, "About what, Gin? Oh gods, are you okay?! Did something happen?!"
"No .. No .. It's just .. I know what you did last night." (Lol sounds so stalkerish!)
Hermione gulped. "Oh." She closed her mouth again, trying to find the words to explain what exactly she was doing.
"The only thing I'm going to ask you is .. Do you love him?" asked Ginny softly, seeing the images of Draco screaming at her in her mind.
Hermione gave her a small smile, her eyes a little glossy. "So much."
"Then there's no need for explanations." Ginny understood. When you love someone that much you want to give them everything, including yourself. But, what you need to know first is if they love you back, and that was something Ginny still needed to know. "You should get going. You don't want Mcgonagall to take points off in Transfiguration, now do you?" joked Ginny.
"Thank you." whispered Hermione, giving the red head a brief hug and leaving the classroom.
Colin sat beside Ginny in Potions, twirling his blonde hair between his fingers. He was in a daze, for he was staring at Dean Thomas. Dean (Making up his appearance to better fit him and Colin) stood now at 6"4, his brown hair spiked up as usual.
Colin couldn't help but sigh and continue gazing at the boy. Dean was placed in a lower Potions level for his grades were poorer then mediocre and he didn't even try. This made Colin extra happy, so now he would get to see him everyday.
Ginny tapped Colin on the shoulder, nodding her head towards Dean. "Why are you looking at him?
Colin felt a blush creep on as he stuttered uncontrollably. "He .. Uh .. Has my homework and I needed it back .. So yeah .. I'm uh .. Trying to get his attention so .. He can give it back to me."
Ginny eyed him suspiciously but let it go. "Alright. You should really pay attention, Colin. And stop giving your homework out!" she snapped in a motherly tone.
He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and winked. "Anything for you, babe." he replied, earning a giggle from Ginny.
Ginny's amused face than turned into a serious one. She also looked pretty uncomfortable. "Colin, we need to talk, but later on." After saying this, her full attention then went to the lesson, leaving Colin to ponder what she wanted to speak to him about.
Lunch soon came and everyone bustled into the Great Hall, chatting merrily about their morning, some even plopping on their seats and napping on the table.
Ginny, Colin, Neville, and Hermione (The Fab Four) made their way to the Gryffindor table, books in hand. Hermione had long ditched (well not ditched, it was more like her wanting to hang out with girls instead of guys all the time) the Dream Team. She still talked to Ron and Harry of course, they were all still pretty close.
Hermione had always had a special bond with Ginny, and in having one, she developed two more for Colin and Neville. The four got along very nicely and told each other everything, well not everything.
Colin and Neville knew about Ginny's secret boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, but seeing her happy really made them happy, too, so they respected her decision. They just made her promise not to sleep with him until after her graduation, to see if the relationship was really going anywhere.
She made that promise, but her being in love, broke it. Hermione knew of Ginny being involved with someone, but didn't get a name, for Ginny was too ashamed to tell her. Draco taunted Hermione for being a Muggle-born for how long. Ginny just didn't have the courage to reveal him.
Hermione looked at her three friends and decided that it was time to tell them she was with Blaise. Clearing her throat and gaining their awareness she said, "Guys, I have a boyfriend."
Colin looked quite interested, Neville looked like he was going to shoot someone, and Ginny looked smug, already knowing who it was.
Hermione continued, "Before I tell you guys who it is, I just want to make some things clear. We've been going out for four months now and-"
Hermione was interrupted by Ginny who dropped her fork and was now choking on a piece of food. "You .. Four .. Months .. Never .. Told .. Me!"
Hermione bit her lip. "I know you hate me, but .. Yes .. Four months! I love this guy so much and I'd do anything to be with him. But, if that means losing you guys, then I don't know."
Colin put his hand over Hermione's and smiled. "You'll never lose me, Herm. Count on that."
"Me neither, but if the git hurts you, than that's it .. He's going to die." said Neville sternly. "I'll get my Grandmother on him before he can say 'I'm sorry'."
All three heads now looked at Ginny, who was red in the face. "I'm here, too. It's not everyday your best friend falls in love, right?" said Ginny, her voice cracking at the word 'love'.
Hermione gave her thanks to each of them and quickly changed the subject. "So, Gin, how's your mystery man?"
Ginny took her spoon and began playing with her mashed potatoes, not looking anyone in the eyes. "We're not together anymore." she said sadly.
Colin shot her a 'We are so going to talk later' look, while Neville threw her a 'Tell me what he did and he will pay' glare.
"Oh, Gin, I'm sorry. Are you okay? Did he do something? Come on, you have to tell us, we're here for you." said Hermione.
"I'll tell you guys .. Everything, but not now. Is it okay if we all meet at the lake at midnight, tonight?" she asked, hoping they would all say yes.
"Of course!" the three said in unison, before digging into the food.
After Lunch, Colin had to go to Divination, the only class he didn't have with Ginny. He was striding sexily down the hallway when he noticed a girl about the age of twelve being pushed around by Draco Malfoy, and this time it wasn't Crabbe or Goyle who was with him, it was Blaise Zabini.
Colin took a closer look at the girl and detected who she was immediately. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a small figure. Dean's cousin, Emily Ford.
"Aaww, is ickle Emmy scared of the two bad Slytherins?" mocked Blaise, sarcasm tainted in his voice.
She cowered into the corner, afraid to look them in the eye. Colin stalked forward, pushing Blaise into the wall in the process. He knelt before Emily and asked gently, "You okay, babe?"
She nodded. He stood back up, turning around to face the two Slytherins. "Can't pick on anyone your own bloody age?! Have to pick on a defenseless first year?! Are you both that weak and cruel?!" he spat at them, Emily hiding behind him.
"If it isn't Creevey here to save the day. I was half expecting Harry Potter." drawled Draco, his wand twiddling in his hands.
Hermione parted ways with her friends after her meal and headed for the lake, for this was her free period. She was nearing the exit when she heard a familiar voice.
"Aaww, is ickle Emmy scared of the two bad Slytherins?"
"Blaise." she whispered, now running towards his voice. She found Blaise and Draco, wands in their hands before Colin and a small girl.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!?" she yelled.
"Too bad, Harry Potter's busy at the moment, but if you want I can give him a message stating that you wanted him here." said Colin coolly, a smirk that would put any Slytherin to shame.
Blaise took out his wand and pointed it to the blonde haired teen. "You should know when to talk and when to not talk, Creevey."
Before Colin could throw back an insult, Hermione rushed in and screeched. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!?"
Standing his ground, Blaise kept his wand high. "I bloody asked you guys a question! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?!"
Colin spoke up. "These two gits thought it'd be rather fun to ridicule an innocent first year. I came just in time before they did anything they would regret."
Hermione, being Head Girl, glared at Blaise and Draco furiously. "Thirty points from Slytherin for thinking that they own the damn castle. And an extra ten points for keeping your wands at the ready."
Draco chuckled. "Funny, Mudblood. Forty points from Gryffindor."
"What for?!" bellowed Colin, hating the fact that Draco was head boy.
Draco had an amused expression on his face. "For your behavior, Creevey. You don't expect me to let your stupidity slide."
Just at that moment, Ginny stumbled upon them, her books falling, and her hair a complete mess. "I hate my life." she muttered, not even taking notice of the fight before her. Neville was right behind her, bending down, helping her pick up her bag and parchments.
Ginny walked into her Herbology class, the only class she didn't have with Colin. She entered late, costing Gryffindor ten points. She then noticed that her bag wasn't with her. She raised her hand high. "Professor Sprout, I left my bag in the Great Hall, may I please go an retrieve it?" she asked nicely.
The professor nodded while Ginny ran out of the class. She scurried through the corridor, wiping her forehead of any sweat. She rounded the corner and bumped into something solid. She looked up and found Neville with her bag in his hands.
"Really, Gin. You'd think you'd remember an item like your book bag." he joked, offering his hand and lifting her up. "Come on, you need to get to class."
Neville offered to walk her, only if they took the long way. Her day went rather slow and hectically. "Oh man! I don't know if I have my quills with me!" While walking, she searched through her bag, rummaging around her bag.
Neville was walking beside her, shaking his head at her antics. They were about to turn right, when Ginny's supplies went flying everywhere on the floor.
"I hate my life." Neville heard her mutter.
"Ginny!" yelled Colin, catching her attention. "Aren't you supposed to be in Herbology?"
"I forgot my bloody bag in the Great Hall so I went back to get it. Neville had it so we decided to walk around for a while before I got back." She finally looked up and met his eye, already done putting her things in her bag. "And what do you think you're doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Divination?"
"Just wonderful, Weasely and Longbottom have come to join us." said Draco sarcastically.
Ginny froze. Neville and Colin saw her tense up and hastily got worried. "I'm going to go." she whispered, a tear falling down her cheek. She walked away from the site with Neville trailing behind her, yelling for her to slow down.
"What was that?" asked Hermione, wanting to go and comfort Ginny, but couldn't leave for a duel might commence.
Colin grabbed Emily by the shoulder and began walking her to her class. "I'm leaving, I have no time for bullshit." he snapped at the other two boys in the hall.
Hermione glared at Draco, but then took her eyes off him and put them on Blaise. Her eyes showed disappointment and sadness. How could he? She asked in her mind. "I'll go with you, Colin." she said firmly.
"Bye bye Mudblood!" said Draco chirpily. He may have seemed happy and content in the inside, but he wasn't. Just seeing her cry made him cringe and overflow with guilt.
Blaise stared at her retreating back and said almost inaudibly, "Bye, Love."
Okay .. Here's Draco's point of view after he told Ginny to leave ..
(x)
He got up off her and rolled to the other side of the bed, not even taking a look at her. What am I doing? He asked his head mentally.
"Draco? Draco?" asked Ginny covered in sweat. Seeing the disappointment in his face, her heart fell. "Did .. Did I do something wrong?" she asked timidly.
"Get out." he growled.
Ginny turned to him bewildered. "But, Draco I-"
"I said GET OUT!" He got up off the bed and began putting his clothes on. He threw her belongings at her and pointed to the door. "Did you not hear me?! GET OUT!"
Watching her change, he rubbed his temples. What am I doing? I can't love her! He screamed in his head. It was nothing, just sex! That's it! He forced himself to believe that.
Hearing the door slam he looked at himself in the mirror. "I'll only end up hurting her." He really and truly did love Ginny, but something in his heart irked him. Was he really ready for this kind of love relationship? Did he really want to spend the rest of his life with her?
There was only one answer.
Yes.
He's never 'made love' with anyone before Ginny, and now that he has, he feels differently. He, of course, felt culpable because of making her leave, but maybe, just maybe, if he stayed away from her long enough, his love will die out, and she'll forget about him.
It's better for him to end it now, then to end in sooner and have it hurt much more worse. He had to let her go .. For her own good.
He had to keep her away from himself.
A/N: what did you guys think? you like? well i liked .. lol .. this is a longer chapter! .. please rewiew .. i don't know if i want to put this story on hold .. but i have alotta of ideas for it .. i just want to know if its good so far .. so please do tell! i need as much encouragement as i can get! well thanks to the people who reviewed so fat and i hope you enjoyed this chappie!
