Escape from the Hospital Wing
---(((o)))---
Ginny lay in the hospital wing extremely bored because Madame Pomfrey said she couldn't leave until after dinner. Ginny tried falling asleep, but since she slept in that morning, she wasn't tired. When the boredom became unbearable, she crawled out of bed and walked carefully towards the hospital wing doors. She cautiously opened them, looking behind her to make sure Madame Pomfrey was nowhere within hearing distance, and slipped through when the crack was just wide enough to let her through. As she turned, she ran into someone.
"Jeeze, seems to be my day for running into people!" Ginny grumbled as she backed away from the person to get a look at their face. But she knew who it was when they spoke.
"Hey We-Ginny."
"Malfoy! What are you doing out of class?"
"Its lunch time," he replied bluntly.
"Oh, well no wonder I didn't know. Its so boring in the hospital wing that you can't even think of what time it is. The only thing you can think of is how to get out of there," Ginny said earnestly in defense.
"So what happened anyway? You don't look like the kind of person who would just let herself get hurt."
"Well I woke up late and when I was rushing to our lovely potions class, I tripped down the stairs. That's basically it. But let's get a move on, I'm starving!"
They weren't too far down the hall when the hospital wing doors opened and Madame Pomfrey's head popped out.
"Miss Weasley! Get back here! I told you to stay off you leg until dinnertime!"
"But it's so boring in there! Besides, my ankle feels fine"
"I don't care how uninteresting it is, if you go out too early you could hurt your ankle again."
"I'll watch her," Draco jumped in, "I'll make sure she doesn't do anything stupid."
"I don't do stupid things!" Ginny retorted. It wasn't entirely true though. There were many occasions during the summer when she would join the twins in their many mischievous adventures, which often turned into trouble.
Madame Pomfrey scrutinized Draco when he said he'd watch Ginny. When had a Malfoy ever been friendly towards a Weasley?
"Alright Mr. Malfoy, but if I find out that you did anything to her, I'll be giving you a weeks detention in my so-called boring infirmary."
She retreated back into her room and Ginny and Draco headed off towards the Great Hall.
"Actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to go to the kitchens instead. I don't want a bunch of people coming over to me and asking if I'm alright."
"That's fine with me. Come to think of it, I don't want any of the Slytherins asking me why I didn't go with them to lunch. I can think up of something to tell them later," Draco replied.
---(((o)))---
"So are you going to go to any of your other classes today?" Draco asked while they were eating.
"Nah, they all think I'm in the hospital wing till after dinner."
"What are you going to do then?"
"I don't know, go to the tower room, maybe read a little, maybe go outside for a quick fly."
Draco was surprised she still wanted to go flying. Last year in a match against the Slytherins, the beaters pelted Ginny with both bludgers because she was the best chaser and kept scoring. At first she dodged them well, but just as she was scoring the last goal and he and Harry were racing for the snitch, both bludgers ran straight into her; one into her leg, breaking it, and the other glancing of her head and knocking her out. Draco thought that after that experience, Ginny would never want to go flying again. Apparently she was tough, and something like that didn't bother her.
"Mind if I go flying with you?" he asked a little uncertainly.
"Sure you can, but what about your classes?"
"I'm not called the Slytherin bad boy for nothing you know," he teased with a smile.
Ginny decided she liked his smile. Very much.
