A/N-Mkay. Evil cliffieness :D I hope you don't hate me too much…
"Pansy?" Draco said in surprise when he saw her. He looked betweenme and heruneasily.
Parkinson sauntered over to us. "Hello Draco. How are you?" She purred at him. Then she glanced at me. "What are you doing here?" She raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer. When none was forth coming, she rolled her eyes and linked her arm with Draco's. "Come on hun. Let's go. Idon't want to be around this trash anymore."
Draco didn't move. He looked at me with a strange look on his face. I glared. "No. I was just leaving." I shook my head wondering how I could be so foolish. "Forever? Well I guess you've already decided then," I said angrily. I shoved passed Draco and Parkinson and back up to the castle.
Immediately I ran to the Room of Requirement. I walked passed the spot of wall and walked in when a wooden door appeared. The room was void of any decoration. There was a small twin sized bed in the middle of the room. There was another door leading to another room but I didn't care. I threw myself onto the white down quilt and stared at the wall, tears streaming down my face.
Why did this always have to happen to me? Just when I start to get close to someone, they leave me. Well it wouldn't happen again. I preferred to be alone anyway. Less risks. I shook my head and sat up. Wiping away the last of my tears, I left the room. The door faded back into the wall and I walked to Gryffindor tower.
"Ginny!" Someone shouted from behind me as I began to climb the last set of stairs to the Fat lady's portrait. I turned and rolled my eyes.
"Ginny wait. Let me explain," Draco pleaded with me. I narrowed my eyes at him but I stayed where I was. I looked him over once. His clothes were messed up and he had lipstick on his collar. The button on his pants was undone and one leg was rolled up a little so I could see he had a sock missing.
"Ginny," Draco said again, "Please let me explain." He took a deep breath. He didn't look like he knew where to start. He looked around before saying, "Can we do this somewhere else?"
"Okay," I said. He looked relieved. Then I started walking up the stairs.
Realizing my intent he grabbed my hand, "No. Wait. Here's fine. Just fine." He took another deep breath. "I'm really sorry Ginny. See. The thing is…" He stopped, suddenly seeing his reflection in a mirror in one of the paintings. He smoothed out his robes and fixed his pants, then started again. "The thing is… Pansy and I… We're betrothed." He winced and looked severely disgusted. "See, she thinks she's God's gift to men and ever since we found out we were betrothed, she has never left my side."
"Okay," I snarled angrily, "Then go back to her. What did you say about Slytherin's the other day? Oh. Yah. 'When a Slytherin finds his mate, it's forever'. Well you seem to have found her. So leave me alone." I started to walk away again. He grabbed my arm. Again.
"She isn't who I want Ginny. I want you. As soon as I can I will find a way out and get out. I don't want her Ginny. I promise!"
I shook my head and crossed my arms. I licked my lips and whispered, "Promise?"
Draco nodded. "I won't ever leave you."
I bit my lip. Looking into his eyes I could see a fierce sincerity. He really wanted me to believe him. But how could I? This was Draco Malfoy. This was-
"Ginny!" A voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around. About halfway down the stairs was my brother. I growled softly in the back of my throat. I'm gong to kill him.
"Ginny," He said again. This time he was beside me. "Why are you talking to Mal-Ferret?"
"I-" I started. However, I couldn't finish.
"Come on Ginny, lets go." Ron was pulling on my arm.
"Ron-"
"Why were you talking to him Ginny? You know he's dangerous!"
"Ronald-"
He seemed to be ignoring me for all I was worth. Finally, just as we reached the portrait hole, I wrenched my arm out of his grasp. He looked surprised to see me. Well that's typical. He never see's me.
"Ron," I began again, "I am a big girl. I can handle myself with Malfoy. You can run along and leave me alone." I started to head back down the stairs. I paused when I noticed Malfoy was gone. I cursed my brother but kept walking. I wanted to be alone.
A/N-Hello all! I hope you like this. Do you know how hard this is to write when I'm not depressed? I'm trying to find a good way to bring Ginny out of her shell. With the help of our favorite blonde ferret of course. Please review!
