Chapter 3

Ginny woke up to Hermione fussing and arguing with Ron.

"How could you and Harry be so heartless. She's your sister!"

"AND HE'S A MALFOY!"

"Regardless! He saved her!"

"YEAH I AM SURE HARRY WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB WITH OUT HER GETTING HURT."

"You heard Harry he was far away when it happened!"

"SO?!"

"He couldn't get to her! Besides this is all you and Harry's fault because of your obviously cruel joke on her!"

"NO IT ISN'T"

"Mr. Weasley if you do not stop shouting I will have to ask you to leave"

"Sorry Madam Pomfrey."

"Anyway Ron you shouldn't have laughed at her."

"We didn't"

There was a pause.

"Ok, ok we did but she over reacted!"

"Yeah right I would have slapped you both then ran away!...poor dear"

"Did you just call my sister 'dear'?"

"Shut up Ron"

Ginny smiled and opened her eyes. She was in the hospital win and Hermione was sitting next to her bed and Ron was pacing the room. Harry wasn't there. Neither was Draco. Ginny sat up and both Hermione and Ron stopped arguing and looked at her . Ron rushed to her side.

"Hi Hermione." Ginny smiled.

"Hey Gin how are you feeling?"

"Fine"

"Ginny?" Ginny looked over at Ron who looked worried.

"Yes?" she frowned.

"I'm Sorry." He bowed his head. "This is all Harry and my fault. We shouldn't have laughed at you." He sighed. Ginny smiled.

"Apology accepted." Ron looked up and smiled. "But I am still 'friends' with Draco."

Ron looked like he had just swallowed a toad.

"GINNY HES A MALFOY!"

"AND WHAT OF IT?"

"Yes what's wrong with us Malfoy's?" a familiar voice chimed in. Ron and Ginny both looked at the entrance were Draco stood leaning against the door. Ginny smiled and Ron frowned. Hermione remained still.

"Malfoy thank you for saving our Ginny here." She said kindly. Draco bowed.

"I did what any decent man would do." Ron scoffed. Draco turned to him. "Its better than what your best friend Harry did…" He said with a smirk.

"Shut up he was too far away" Ron defended.

"Oh? Why don't you ask your sister what really happened?" Draco said plainly. Ron and Hermione looked at her. Ginny blushed then sighed.

"Harry was there." Both Ron and Hermione gasped.

"No"

"Well he was there the second after Draco saved me. Then he went on to claim that I was his girlfriend ripping me from Draco and then trying to kiss me again and … and well he was an ass." Ron and Hermione looked shell shocked. Then they all Sat in silence for a minute or to Ron and Hermione exchanged apologize with Draco, when they were interrupted by a knock on the door. There stood Harry with a patch on his cheek; He looked at the floor as he walked towards them.

"Are…are you ok Ginny…I came to make sure you were ok." He stuttered. Everyone glared at him.

"The great Harry Potter!" Draco bowed for him. Then he helped Ginny get up Ginny walked over to Harry and put a hand on his cheek and whispered into his ear "You better explain what happened to my brother. And don't lie he knows everything." The Draco took her out of the room leaving the dream team to argue and fix things amongst themselves. Ginny smiled as she leaned against Draco's arm and they made their way to the common room. He gave her a peck on the cheek before leaving her.

"I will see you in a little while" he smiled She smiled back at him and walked through the portrait.

A few hours later Ginny walked out of the girls dormitories and headed down to the great hall for lunch. She sighed and wondered what her mom would think about all this. She then decided to write to her mom. Ginny went up to the owlry and started a letter to her mother.

Dear mum,

Wanted to write to you about what's happening here… its kind of new…and...surprising. Please don't freak. I am kind of friends…with Draco Malfoy. Yeah I am not sure how it all happened but we are good friends. He's not like we thought at all. He's actually quite sweet. Oh, and Harry and I are no longer friends, I don't know about Ron and Hermione but Harry and I no longer have anything at least until he apologizes. Don't ask long story but Harry was inconsiderate to me. Anyway love to dad!

Love: Ginny

She picked a gray barn owl and attached the letter to its feet. It nibbled her finger then took off into the sky. Ginny watched it then turned and left the owlry heading for the lake.

Draco walked around the school day dreaming, mostly about Ginny but about other things too. His Father for example. He was in Azkaban but would he always be? Does everyone expect him to be a Death Eater? He had never wanted to be one he just accepted it. It was who he was suppose to be come. Only now that he had spent some time with Ginny he wasn't sure he wanted to settle for it. I mean it wasn't him. He didn't take enjoyment out of killing people. Oh well. He would worry about it later, now he had to figure out exactly what he felt for the little red head that occupied his mind so much. It wasn't like he didn't enjoy her company, but he wasn't sure just what he felt. She was special. He turned a corner and found himself in a large hall he hadn't seen before. There was a big bay window that faced the lake. He leaned against the rail that sectioned him away from the window and looked over the court yard suddenly a little head of red hair caught his eye. Ginny was there. She walked around a tree and sat down on the other side. Draco smiled, she was sitting at his tree. The tree he had first seen her at. She was so beautiful, why he had never seen it before was beyond him. Her luscious red curls bobbed ever so slightly when she walked, her eyes were like deep pools of melted chocolate, and her body was amazing. She had all the right curves in the right place. Draco smiled at the thought. Ginny weasley was beautiful. He watched her pull out a book and start reading. Then it dawned on him. He smiled and rushed down the halls and out to the lake with all his strength.

Ginny looked up when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Draco was nearly running to her. Ginny got up a little scared that something was wrong she took a step towards him but he kept going. Draco crashed into Ginny grabbing her around the waist and spinning her around until he fell on the ground with Ginny landing on top of him.

"Draco?! What's Wrong?!" Ginny gasped. Draco didn't respond he just leaned up and kissed her passionately on the lips. Ginny taken by surprise looked at him in shock then slowly sank into the kiss. When Draco finally released Ginny looked down at him in confusion. Draco smiled and sat up. Looking her square in the eye he asked her.

"Do you like me?"

"WHAT?"

"Do you like me?"

"Of course I like you?!"

"No, Do you…." Draco suddenly felt really stupid. 'She wouldn't like him like that. He was always so mean to her…she…she would never love a Malfoy' His heart sank as he thought about it. Ginny looked at him puzzled.

'What is he getting at?' He doesn't mean to ask if I like, like him?! No Draco would never like me I am a weasley' Ginny looked at the ground. She then spoke up softly.

"Why did you just kiss me?" Draco looked at her.

"Why?"

"Yes"

"um….well because I like you Ginny…." He said quietly looking down again. Ginny looked up, hopeful.

"What?"

"I like you" Ginny smiled and gently lifted his chin.

"I like you too." He looked at her his eyes danced with happiness and Ginny pressed her lips against him in another kiss. He kissed her back feverishly, wanting more he licked her bottom lip. She opened her mouth and soon they were in the midst of a tongue battle. Draco leaned Ginny back down on the grass and lay gently on top of her keeping most his wait off. He held Ginny's head in on hand and her waist with the other. They continued kissing until Draco trailed kisses along her neck. She tensed as he bit her tenderly on the neck. She sighed and kissed his forehead bidding him to come back up to her. He pulled away from her neck and looked her in the eyes.

"Ginny?"

"Yes Draco?"

"Will you go out with me?" Ginny giggled furiously and nodded. Draco smiled and kissed her again before allowing her to get back up. They held hands going back up to the school. Neither of them cared who saw.
