Ginny ran up to me the other day, asking me about something Luna told her that Padma told her that Parvati and Lavender told her. Phew. She practically dragged me to the alcove near the Owlery, demanding me to tell her 'all the details'.

"What are you talking about Gin?"

"You silly girl, about you and him!"

"What is there to talk about? He pesters me, I ignore him. End of story. Now if you'll excuse me-"

I turned to go, but she blurted out something that made me stop in my tracks.

"Luna said Padma said Parvati and Lavender said he was pining for you in Potions!"

I looked at her warily.

"Now I've got your attention," she said triumphantly.

"I was just surprised, is all. It's not like what he did meant anything. You know it could just be a ploy," I told her, skeptical at what she just said.

"Okay, so it's a ploy if a really hot guy (albeit someone we shouldn't like, much less be civil to) sits listlessly all throughout class, waiting for you to arrive? That every five seconds, after taking in a teensy bit of lessons, he turns back to the door, hoping you'll burst in breathlessly apologizing for being so late that he chuckles and finds it cute?"

I didn't know what to say, except "You know his reputation Ginny."

She rambled on like she didn't hear me. "And when you finally walk in, looking slightly harassed his face lights up like his world's back to the way it should be?"

"I don't have time for this," I muttered, checking my watch. Oops. "Gin, I've got to go," I said frantically, running to Transfiguration class- "See you in a bit!"

She just waved back at me with this annoying smug smile.

Like I would know what that meant.

I was walking back to the Gryffindor common room after doing my rounds with Terry Boot when I saw him walking in my direction. I put on a defiant face, and walked past him.

Too bad- he followed me.

"Hi love," he said, trying to keep up with me.

I ignored him.

"Love?"

"Will you quit that?" I asked waspishly, turning to face him.

He looked at me with frustration.

It seemed like he had finally snapped- and for the first time since meeting him, I became really afraid.

"I've had enough," he muttered. He grabbed my wrist and started to drag me to a nearby empty classroom.

"Stop! What are you doing?" I whimpered, trying to get my wrist out of his grasp. The first time I left my wand in the common room! When will I ever learn!

"I'm going to rape you."

No!

"Please, no," I whispered as he pulled me inside. Hell, I didn't even know why I was whispering.

Speaking with one rationally will make one think rationally.

No, not in your case..

"No.."

I shut my eyes, praying to whoever would listen that he won't go through with it.

He pushed me against the wall.

Oh please no..

Tears were already staining my blouse as I looked down at his hands, willing him to let go of my shoulders.

"What are you doing here?" asked a voice.

I looked up to find Professor Binns. Thank goodness for Professor Binns!

"Come on," he muttered and took me out of the classroom.

His grip has softened. Thank goodness.

He left me standing there, heaving a sigh of relief while wiping my tears away.

What in Merlin's name possessed him to do that!
