Ginny Weasely was walking quietly down the corridor, hoping that Filch wouldn't catch her. She just had a little sleepover with Colin, Hermione and Olivia. The three were now sleeping, giving Ginny the perfect chance to have some time by herself. Ever since that night with Draco, she couldn't think right, eat right, even sing right!
He hurt her and no matter how hard she tried to push him away from her mind, he would never just leave. Ginny sauntered up the steps to the Astronomy Tower, squeezing her arms around her. It was a bit chilly, it was winter. She could see her the air come out of her mouth. It scared her a bit. "I hope I won't freeze to death." she muttered, leaning against a cold cement wall and sliding down it.
"Why Draco?" she whispered to herself. "Why? .. After I gave you my virginity, you leave me?" She didn't want to believe that he just wanted her body, she didn't want to believe he never loved her. Her brother's voice kept ringing in her head.
"Ginny, guys now a days only want you so they can get into your knickers!" retorted Ron. "I know you may not believe me now, but it's true! You're my baby sister, Ginny! Only I can tell you if a guy is right for you!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Ronald .. You've gone completely bonkers, you know that?"
This made her cry even harder. "I'm nothing more than a toy." she mumbled to herself, wiping her eyes clean of water. "Nothing more than a bloody toy!"
Still sobbing on her night shirt, she didn't hear footsteps approach her. "Ginny? Why are you crying?" asked a very small and timid voice.
Ginny looked up, her eyes a glossy sheen. "Olly? What are you doing up here? You're supposed to be downstairs!" snapped Ginny in a motherly tone.
Olivia swallowed. "Ginny? Please tell me why you're sad." pleaded the girl, sitting down Indian style in front of the red head. "I'm a good listener. Mummy and Da told me I was!"
"You wouldn't understand, baby. You've never been in love before." replied Ginny, her voice cracking at the word 'love'.
"But, Mummy says that you can only fall in love when you marry your soulmate." cried Olivia, thinking she was right. "Then you have babies .. Like me!"
Ginny giggled, despite her tears. "You're sweet, Honey. It's just .. A grown up thing. I'll tell you when you're older."
"You promise?" begged the little girl.
Ginny scooped up Olivia in her arms and cradled her. "I promise, baby. When you get older, I'll tell you all about love." Cooing in the girl's ear, Ginny saw that Olivia was already asleep, her eyes closed gently and her hands in tiny little fists.
Smiling to herself, Ginny slowly got up, being careful not to wake up the resting toddler. "What the hell do you think you're doing here, Weasel?" Ginny heard someone screech. She was thankful that Olivia didn't stir.
Finding her voice, Ginny sneered, "Who are you? Or are you too coward to come out and show yourself!"
Standing in the dark, Ginny waited patiently for the lurker to appear. When the person did step out, Ginny gasped. "Keira Chelts?" she asked in disbelief. "What are you doing up here?! You're not allowed here!"
Keira scoffed. "And you think you are? I'm here to meet my boyfriend, even though it's none of your business." she spat back at Ginny.
Ginny clenched her teeth. "Well, you do that. I'll be on my way." Shoving past the girl with Olivia still holding onto her, Ginny was stopped by Keira's hand on her forearm. "Let .. Go."
"Don't think for one second that he actually wanted you. You were nothing to him." Keira's words pierced Ginny's heart into a million pieces. "You were nothing more than his little puppet."
"You know nothing." was all Ginny managed to say before jogging out of there. Sprinting down the steps and out the door, she ran down the corridor, not really caring if anyone found her.
That's when she saw a speck of blonde walking the way of the Astronomy Tower. "I should of known. Slytherins always get with Slytherins." she whispered to herself, looking down at Olivia. "Be strong, Ginny."
Before even thinking twice, Ginny screamed out his name. "DRACO!" Her yell caused Olivia to wake up and rub her eyes.
"Ginny?" yawned the girl. "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Putting Olivia down lightly, Ginny gave her a small smile. "I want you to stay here, okay?" she asked her, looking over the girl and seeing Draco stop. He looked around for a while, trying to find the owner of that voice. Olivia nodded. "Good, baby. Stay right here."
Making sure Olivia was staying put, Ginny trotted over to where the silver-eyed boy was standing. "What do you want, Weaselette? Can't you see I'm busy?" he snarled at her, his smirk in place. He didn't look like the Draco Malfoy she fell in love with.
That's when the tears seeped out. "Why, Draco? Why? I .." Ginny stopped what she was saying and remembered what she was supposed to ask him. "You're going to see Keira, aren't you?" Her eyes were downcast.
Draco snorted. "How does that involve you? If I'm seeing my girlfriend, I'm seeing my girlfriend." he stated, looking at his nails like they were the most interesting things in the world.
"That last time I checked, Malfoy, I was your bloody girlfriend!" she spat ferociously at him.
"Please, Weasely. Don't flatter yourself. You were a great shag, but seriously now, it's over. Don't cry." he said a bored tone. He didn't mean for the words to sound so evil, but if he wanted her to believe he hated her, he had to do it right.
Ginny was now bawling like a baby. "A great shag?" she asked him. "Alright .." Hugging herself once more, she strained a smile. "I'll go." she whispered, turning a heel and walking away.
Draco forced himself not to call her back there. Let her go .. Just let he go! He scolded himself, fighting back his conscience. Her shaking body was now miles away, Draco still standing there. "I love you, Ginny." he said to the empty hall.
Ginny woke up the next morning entangled in over ten limbs. "What the?!" She was squeezed onto a small bed with Olivia, Hermione and Colin. Neville was on the floor, saliva dripping down from his mouth. When the bloody hell did Neville get here?
After leaving Draco last night, Ginny went back to the Head Dorms, a very tired Olivia hanging from her neck. The mini Hermione still wrapped up in her arms, Ginny collapsed on the nearest bed, snoring her way to a great and deep slumber. She was very lucky it was Saturday. And a Hogsmeade weekend at that!
"Olly! Wake up!" she said in the girl's ear. "If you don't, I'll be forced to tickle you to death!" Olivia quickly got up, her hair everywhere.
"I'm up, Ginny! I'm up!" yelled the girl, causing Hermione and Colin to get up, too.
"Mmmm." moaned Hermione, taking her hand and scratching her forehead. "What time is it?"
Colin grabbed the closest pillow and pulled it over his face, trying to block the sunlight. "Who bloody cares." he mumbled.
"Neville? When did you get here?" asked Ginny, already out of the bed, Olivia right behind her. Kicking Neville in the ribs, she watched the half naked boy rouse. "Hello? Earth to Neville!"
"Ginny?" asked a groggy Neville. He blinked his eyes open and closed. "I got here last night after everyone was asleep. I had some things to do."
Ginny snorted. "More like someone!" Sitting beside Neville, Ginny asked, "So, are you and Lavender officially together?"
Blushing like mad, Neville timorously nodded. "Well .. I mean .. if you say that we love each other than .. Well .."
Ginny raised her hand to silence him. "You love her?"
"With all my heart." he replied, placing her hand on his chest.
Ginny leapt over to him and embraced him. "I'm happy for you, Nev!" she said joyously.
"Nevie?" asked Olivia. "Will I get to meet Lavender?" she asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes. "I want to meet your girlfriend!"
Ginny snickered. "Aaww, Olly wants to meet Nevie's girlfriend! It's like .. A fairy tale!" joked Ginny.
Neville tickled Olivia mercilessly. "You can meet he today at Hogsmeade!" he screamed, laughing at Olivia's breathless face.
"Please - Nevie - Stop!" she beseeched. "Nevie! Please!"
Neville reluctantly let go and smiled. "That's what you get for being so adorable!" he reprimanded.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Let's go get dressed and have breakfast. I think Hermione and Colin want to wait longer so they can catch up on some more sleep!"
"Yay! I'm so hungry!" yelled Olivia, running to the bathroom and shutting the door. Ginny shook her head.
"Sometimes, I think that girl is way too mature for her age."
Neville grinned. "You only think that sometimes?"
Ginny laughed while grabbing Neville by the arm and hoisting the both of them up. "Come no, Nev. Let's go and get changed!"
"Anything for you, Mon Amie." he responded.
Keira Chelts straddled Draco Malfoy's sleeping body, licking her lips seductively and flipping her hair back. "Wake up, Baby." she purred in his ear.
Upon hearing her voice, Draco shoved the slut off, scowling at her. "Bloody hell, Chelts! Do you always insist on bothering me!?"
Keira pouted. "Aw, come on Drakie, let's have some fun." She made a move to get back on the bed, but was only jerked back by a heavy pillow Draco threw at her.
"Stay your ground, Chelts. I don't want you near me." sneered Draco, getting off the bed and striding to his private bathroom.
Rolling her eye, Keira plopped herself on her bed and sighed. "You know .. Mudblood had a huge sleepover bash last night!" she yelled at Draco who was taking a shower. "I snuck in there and found her and Creevey sleeping together on a bed. Longbottom was on the floor and Weasely and mini Mudblood were on another bed. It's quite sad. I mean .. who does that?!"
Draco gritted his teeth in the shower. "Does she ever bloody leave people be?!" he asked himself, scrubbing his stomach with a bar of soap. (omg, drool) Without even knowing someone was in the bathroom with him, he felt two skinny hands wrap around his waist.
"Didn't think you'd get away from me that easily, now did you?" he heard Keira whisper seductively in his ear.
"Fuck the shower!" he roared, throwing the bar on the floor and shutting the water off. Wrapping a white, cotton towel around his hip, he glared daggers at Keira. "Don't you take a hint, Chelts? I don't bloody want you! Damn! I thought you'd be much smarter than Pansy!"
The naked Keira clenched her fists. "Fine, Draco!" Stalking out of the bathroom, she screeched, "I WILL HAVE YOU ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" He heard the door slam, signaling to him that the girl left.
"You wish." he muttered, ruffling his damp hair between his fingers. "Finally, I can take a bloody shower!"
Ginny and Neville were walking down to the Head Dorms common room, the three already dressed and ready for breakfast and their day out. "Alright. Well, I was planning on taking Olly out with me so Mione can spend time with her boyfriend." suggested Ginny. "You'll be with Lavender, so everything will be okay."
Neville raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you'll be okay with Olly all alone? She can be a handful sometimes, even you know that!"
Olivia looked offended. "Hey! That's not true!"
"Whatever you say, Olly." said Neville, sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace. "So, how about Colin?"
Ginny shrugged. "I don't know. I hear he was going to hang out with Dean." she said in a mischievous voice.
"Dean Thomas? Since when did they start becoming friends?" asked a curious Neville.
"Since Colin started falling in love with him." muttered Ginny to herself.
"What was that?"
"Huh?" Ginny looked up at Neville. "Oh .. Nothing. They're just friends now."
"Oh .. Alright." said Neville, not pressing the matter any further. "Hey, let's go to breakfast now! I'm starving!"
Olivia smiled. "Yes! I'm so hungry! Finally!"
Putting on a happy face for her friends, Ginny couldn't help but feel that pang of pain in her heart from the previous night. You were nothing more than his little puppet. "Okay, let's go eat!"
Ginny and Olivia were in a huge aisle of books at Flourish and Botts. "Ginny, can we please go and get some hot cocoa?" pleaded Olivia.
"Olly, Honey, I just need a few more minutes. I just want to get a book or two." replied Ginny, scanning her eyes through the shelves. "Just a few more minutes."
Olivia took it upon herself to scurry along and discover thing son her own. Humming a happy tune, the six year old girl skipped her way around the store, smiling at funny things here and there. The wizarding world was so much more fun than the Muggle world. She thought to herself. "La .. La .. Hmm .. Hmm." she droned on, not noticing the tall and lean person in front of her.
Bumping in to him, Olivia apologized. "I'm sorry!" she said cheerily, looking up and seeing silver-gray eyes. He was alone, his robes much blacker than usual. "I didn't see where I was going. My Mummy and Da taught me manners so I thought it was best to say sorry. So .. Sorry!"
He looked amused. "We have to take you back to your Mummy and Da, now won't we?" he asked.
"My Mummy and Da aren't here. They are on business." lied Olivia, remembering her parents say that she had to hide the fact that they were with the Order.
"Well, then who are you with?"
"Uh .. Ginny." she responded, not really sure she should be telling this stranger this. He let out his hand, gesturing for Olivia to take it.
"Let's go find her!" he said in a happy tone, causing Olivia to trust him.
"Okay, she might be over there!" Olivia pointed to the far back of the store where all the old and dusty books laid.
"Alright .. Let's go!"
Ginny Weasely had three books in her hand, all of them second hand. She didn't have enough money to buy the new additions, so she decided on getting the old ones than saving up all her money for the latest ones.
Looking to her right, Ginny noticed that Olivia was gone. "Olly?" she said softly. Clutching her books, she walked down the huge aisle, looking through cracks on the shelves. "OLLY?!" she yelled louder.
"Ginny! Ginny!" said a babyish voice. Gazing to her left, Ginny spotted the little girl. But, what scared Ginny the most was the person who was holding her hand.
"Mr. Malfoy." she said curtly.
Lucius smirked a Draco-like smirk. "Please, Miss Weasely, call me Lucius."
