GINNY
She parked her car without much care and stormed into the huge fraternity house where she knew she would find Draco. Ginny made her way upstairs, ignoring the boys who greeted her. She entered the room without asking permission and sat on the bed with a theatrical sigh as Draco, who was currently doing his daily workout, stood up to sit next to her.
"What is it this time? A broken nail?" He teased while drying his neck with a small towel.
She looked at him annoyed, "I'm not in the mood for your bullshit Draco"
Draco turned his body towards Ginny and she followed suit, "Well, tell me, why are you so upset about?"
"I was rejected today!" Ginny widened her eyes, still unable to believe what had happened
Draco couldn't help but laugh and she hit him with her purse. "That's enough", he said, gripping Ginny's wrist, "Calm down and tell me who it was. Although I think I already know", he smiled at her.
"Harry", she confirmed, "I invited him to the party on Saturday and he said he already had other plans. He didn't even want to walk to class with me", her voice denoted all the disbelief she felt.
Draco stood up and threw the towel in the laundry basket, "Ginevra, why do you want to keep seeing him? He's not exactly your type".
She answered standing up and observing her reflection in front of Draco's mirror, "There's something about him that I like. And I can't understand how did he said no to me", she frowned and fixed a lock of her hair.
Draco approached her and hugged her from behind. He pushed back her red hair and kissed her neck, "Forget about that, beautiful", he said while introducing his hand under Ginny's green blouse, "Just relax and let's have some fun"
Ginny turned around and put her arms around his neck. She approached to his mouth, and after biting Draco's lower lip and pulling it until he groaned, she said, "I'll have him wrapped around my finger".
Draco rolled his eyes, grabbed her around the waist and tossed her onto the bed. He took off his training pants, took off the black boxer he was wearing and stood over Ginny, who wrapped her legs around his waist.
They had a good time and when they finished, exhausted, they stayed in bed while Draco played with Ginny's hair, "We should repeat what happened yesterday, you know?" He said caressing her waist, "I have a girl friend who could join us".
"In your dreams Draco", she smiled at him, "I'm not going to share a man with another woman".
He sighed, "Too bad. I'll have to find someone else then".
Ginny sat on the bed and stared at the garden that was visible through Draco's window. "He rejected me" she thought "He preferred to go with Hermione"
"Hermione? Who's Hermione?" Apparently Ginny had been thinking out loud.
She looked at him as if he were a stupid for not remember that, "My best friend, Draco, my roommate".
He frowned, "I don't know her. Is she often with you?"
She shook her head, "She doesn't really go out much but you do know her! She's 5'2'', brown wild and wavy hair, big eyes…"
"Ah! The chubby one?" He laughed.
Ginny slapped him gently, "She is not chubby. She is simply more… curvy than other girls", she explained.
He got out of bed and put on his underwear, "Ok, fine. Why did you mention her?"
"She was talking with Harry this morning. And he preferred to go with her instead going out with me".
"I told you Potter was weird", he said, turning to her and smirking, "But if you're concerned about this girl, I can help you Ginevra"
She sat on the bed, "Help me how?"
"I can seduce this… Hermione. After all I haven't yet taste this girlfriend of yours".
"No", she was emphatic when saying that, "I won't let you get close to her".
Draco went back to bed and sat near Ginny, "Why not? It's a win-win. I seduce her, keep her busy and she'll lost interest in Potter"
Ginny sounded furious, "Firstly: she's not interested in Harry. Secondly: she's not as slut as the girls you usually sleep with. Thirdly: you would lose all interest in her Draco because you would find her boring. Hermione prefers reading to drinking. Her idea of fun is going to the library".
But he wouldn't give up so easily, "It would be a nice change".
She shook her head again, "No. Hermione is too innocent for you".
He laughed, "Come on Ginevra. No one is too innocent. I mean she's nineteen. It's not like she's a virgin or something, right?#
Ginny just looked at him and Draco's expression changed, "So she is a virgin", a strange smile appeared on his face, his eyes widened and he smiled again, "I have to meet her"
"You already know her", the redhead pointed, "It's just that you don't even remember her, which should give you a hint of how little you would like her, and that you should stay away from her".
He gave her a quick kiss, "You're just saying that because you want all the fun for you Ginevra", he kissed her again, "But I want to have fun too and that friend of yours", another kiss, "Sounds like a lot of fun".
She pushed him away with her hands and got up from the bed, "Do as you pleased Draco", she said as she put on her knickers, "But don't say later that I didn't warn you that you would die of boredom".
He smirked, "We'll see about that".
Ginny finished dressing and returned to her sorority house. Hermione was already in their bedroom, sitting at the shared desk and typing on the laptop. "Hi Ginny", said her friend when she saw her enter.
She just narrowed her eyes and stared at Hermione. The brunette sighed, "I had no idea it was that Harry, Gin, I swear", Hermione was clearly nervous.
"But you find out in the cafeteria and still you went out with him", Ginny impregnated her voice with feigned pain and Hermione's expression filled with fear
She immediately replied, "I shouldn't have done that. But seriously, he was the one who approached me and then took me to class. And Ginny if it makes you feel better I won't hang out with him anymore"
She ignored Hermione's last comment, "So basically you're saying Harry preferred you over me, even after everything we shared yesterday"
"No… I mean I don't think so. I believe that perhaps he was nervous because of what you guys did last night but…"
Ginny sat on her bed and falsely sighed, "It doesn't matter Herms. He doesn't even like me".
Hermione instantly approached her and wrapped her arms around her best friend. "Don't say that Gin, that's impossible. Everybody likes you".
Ginny gently pushed her away and looked at her, "You really think that?"
"I'm sure of that", Hermione smiled, "You know what? I can help you. I can speak with Harry about you. Convince him of how amazing you are".
Ginny gift her with her best practiced smile, "Would you do that for me, Herms?"
Hermione nodded, "Of course!"
"You're the best!" Ginny briefly hugged her and then sighed, "It's so good to hear that, because I felt that there was something special between you and Harry today", Hermione didn't say anything, "And you know very well that I have feelings for him, you would never get involved with Harry right? You wouldn't do that to me"
Hermione opened her mouth twice but in the end just nodded and give her a sad smile, "Never Ginny, I couldn't do that to you".
Ginny smiled at her and gave her another soft kiss near the corner of her lips, "I trust you Hermione baby", she caressed Hermione's face gently, "You are the best best friend in the world". She winked at her and left the room without another word.
The redhead took a long bath and went through her entire skincare routine. By the time she finished brushing her silky hair, she felt much better and more in control of the situation with Harry, now that she could use Hermione to approach him.
She then went to the living room and ordered one of the pledges to make her a salad and bring it to her room. The girl came in with her request about twenty minutes later, when she was watching a movie with Hermione, who had already finished working on her homework. They spent the night watching old comedy movies until they fell asleep.
The next morning Ginny was determined to seduce Harry, but first she needed to find out the boy's schedules and the classes he had. She thought asking Draco about that, but then decided she would get the information for herself.
She dressed sexier than ever and, when her classes ended, she headed to the university administration building. Luckily the assistant of the manager was one of those typical nerdy boys with glasses and a non-existent social life, so a few loving sentences were enough for him to give Ginny the information she was looking for. The redhead kissed him lightly on the cheek before turning and leaving the place.
She sat at one of the tables in a small Italian restaurant and read Harry's schedule. She wrinkled her nose as she noticed that, unlike Hermione, she had no classes with him. Not to mention zero extracurricular activities.
"This is going to be far more complicated than what I assumed" she thought.
But then she noticed that Harry had oratory lessons on Wednesdays. That was the perfect occasion for a casual meeting. "Tomorrow it is" Ginny whispered, smiling while standing and leaving a few dollars on the table.
She decided to wear the yellow dress, for it was a Hermione's dress for Ginny's last birthday. The dress wasn't exactly her stile but she thought it would be perfect for the occasion. Ginny applied perfume, lipstick and get out the house.
She drove to her favorite pastry shop and picked up her order: a basket full of cupcakes and refreshments. Then she made her way to the classroom that the oratory group used for their meetings. When she arrived Harry was exposing a speech about global warming and Ginny thought he was very good. He dominated the stage, and all of his classmates were listening to him. Even she was listening to him, when Ginny was usually bored quickly by those talks. Applauses brought her out of her reverie and then the professor in charged announced that they would have a break.
It was her chance.
She cleared her throat, indicating the guys carrying the refreshments to follow her, and Ginny entered the classroom smiling broadly, "Harry!", She said as she walked towards him.
The boy looked surprised, "Ginny? What…"
She cut him off, "Hello", she greeted everyone, "I thought I'd bring you something so that you could continue practicing with enthusiasm", she announced and then turned to her assistants, "You can leave the basket and refreshments there", she pointed one of the empty tables and then gave them two bills each.
The students instantly got excited and started pouring out cupcakes and drinks while chatting with each other. Ginny smiled and turned to Harry as she linked his arm with hers, "I hope you like cupcakes", she said approaching a little closer to him. Harry was going to replied but one of his classmates interrupted them.
"Harry your girlfriend nailed it! I was starving", said the guy while eating a cupcake.
"She is not my girlfriend", Harry snapped back as he unlinked his arm from Ginny's. His friend looked at him, alarmed, and walked away from them. He didn't give Ginny time to say anything, "What do you think you're doing?" His tone was cold and his expression exasperated.
She replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "I brought you cupcakes. And you have a special one", she took from her bag the pink box that she had ordered especially for him, "It's different from the others, it's only for you Harry".
He sighed, "Look Ginny, I'm sorry if that night we had with Draco I gave you the wrong impression or if I said something you misread but…"
"I had a great time that night, Harry", she smiled at him, "And I just want to get to know you more, to talk to you".
He smirked and wet his lip with his tongue, "I don't think we have much to talk about, actually Ginny. It's not like we have a lot in common".
"Then maybe we could go to a more private place and have a... different talk", she whispered close to his ear.
Harry grabbed her wrists firmly but without hurting her, "Enough! Stop proposing that to me", his eyes were shining with a fire that she could not identify, "What happened between us will not be repeated again so this had to be our last meeting".
He dropped her wrists and left the classroom. Ginny took a few seconds to compose herself, rubbing her wrists, fixing her dress and facing the students, who apparently had not witnessed their exchange. "Keep enjoying the cupcakes", she told them before leaving the classroom and heading straight for her convertible.
She threw her bag furiously in the car and drove aimlessly for several minutes until she reached one of the furthest bars on campus.
Everyone noticed her when she entered the place. Ginny walked to the bar and ordered a whiskey. The waiter attended to her at once and she drank the contents at once, trying to stifle the tears that were dying to come out.
"I'm not going to cry for him," she told herself as she drank her second glass of whiskey. "I will not lose to him".
It had been a long time since anyone had made her feel that way. Rejected. This is how she felt, like when her father never had time for her or for her mother, who lived immersed by her mental breakdowns.
"I'm not going to cry for him," she repeated to herself as she remembered the last time she had cry; the day her father hospitalized her mother. That had been the worst day of her life. She still remembered her mother's screams, the broken things on the floor, and the pitying glances the servants shot at her.
And now Harry had rejected her too. Her, Ginevra Weasley, the most popular girl on campus. The girl all the boys wanted. It was she who rejected men, not the other way around.
Ginny paid the bill and left the bar. She got in her car and drove for a couple of blocks before stopping. She considered for a brief moment hooked up with someone in order to change her mood, but she didn't feel like putting up with any man, not even Draco. "Although I don't think that would take away this feeling"
"Stop it", she said out loud, "This is not who you are Ginny. Keep it together. What you need is just a new strategy. Eventually he'll fall for you, just as every other man does".
She started the car and headed for the house, directly entering her bedroom with a single thought in mind that was reinforced when she saw Hermione reading a book on the bed, "Harry will be mine no matter what it takes."
