Chapter 2:Help Wanted-by Mely
"Did you see him?" Hermione asked her bestfriend Ginny when she entered their compartment and closed the door behind her.
"See who?" Ginny asked standing up and looking out the window.
"That guy I just bumped into...Blaise I think his name is." Hermione replied looking out the window to the hall dreamily.
"OH, are you talking about the hot Italian that has almost as good grades as you!" Ginny asked suddenly realizing who it is and taking her seat across form Hermione again.
"Exactly!" Hermione said, happy that her friend knew now who she was talking about.
"Well, what about him?" asked Ron interrupting the girls conversation.
"Ron, stay out of it!" Ginny snapped.
"Please, don't start you two!" Hermione said pleading.
"Ron, leave them alone. I'm getting tired of you two fighting all the time." Harry said.
"BUT, she asks for it. Interested in guys, she's not even old enough to be dating. Not to mention the guys she likes, none of them is right for her! No offense meant Harry!" Ron said, his voice and temper rising.
"None taken I guess..." Harry said.
"Why does it all end up having to do with guys and my boyfriends or lack there of!" Ginny asked her temper reaching boiling point.
Ron opened his mouth to say something when suddenly the compartment door flew open.
"Is everything ok, Ginny?" Kevin, a tall, honey colored skin, with brown hair and brown eyes boy asked.
"Hi Kevin! Yeah, my brothers just going off on me because of boys..." Ginny informed her friend.
"Do you see what I mean!" Ron yelled outraged. "This is exactly what I mean. Look at him, he's coming in here, without being invited, I might add. And getting in the middle of family problems. No respect for privacy... Gosh! Ginny why do you like such lame guys! Again, no offense meant Harry!" Ron said once more starting to yell.
"Well this time I'm offended!" Harry said looking at his friend.
"Thanks!" Ron said, not even listening to his friend. He heard what he wanted, that Harry had not been offended.
Harry looked at Ron in shock and with his mouth open, and then he closed it and looked at Hermione with a slightly pleading expression.
"Why don't you come with me? We're almost at the school anyways." Kevin said extending his hand for Ginny to take it. She reached up, grabbed his warm hand and stood up.
"Ron, for your information. The boys I like are not what you think. They are truly nice and decent boys. Like Harry here!" Ginny said and she nodded toward Harry, he mouthed a thank you and she accepted it with a smile. "And Kevin is just a friend. And, not that it's any of your business. He doesn't like me that way, at least not that I know of!" Ginny said.
"Well, that's just your opinion and he just lied. We're about half an hour from the school!" Ron retorted trying to make Kevin look bad.
Kevin looked at him, his anger rising, he took a calming breath and said. "I only lied because I was trying to stay out of it. I didn't want to say: Come on Ginny, I think you need a break from your overprotecting and overreacting brother. But since you pushed, there you go!" Kevin said, his anger only slightly noticeable in his tone. Then he lead Ginny out of the compartment and closed the door behind him.
"Ron, that was unnecessary. She knows what she's doing! And you just offended Harry and didn't even notice!" Hermione snapped.
Ron replied by taking a deep breath in and letting it go audibly, besides that he was in complete silence.
"I'll see you guys later. I'm going to go find Ginny!" Hermione said and she stood up. Ron seemed like he was about to say something, but he kept quiet.
Hermione only had to walk out of the compartment and take a few steps toward the front of the train before she found them. They were in the hallway talking, Ginny was clearly venting.
"Hey, I'm sorry that happened you guys. Ron gets a little carried away most times that it has to do with Ginny!" Hermione apologized for Ron... again.
"No need to worry, I knew what I was getting into when I became friend with Ginny. She warned me about it." Kevin said and he touched her check lovingly in a brotherly fashion.
"Sometimes it feels like your more of a brother to me that he is!" Ginny said, Kevin smiled.
"That's what I'm here for. Be your support and shoulder to cry on..." Kevin said giving her a warm smile. "But, since Mione's here with you. I'll leave you two alone. I'll see you later, Ginny. Don't let him get to you too much!" Kevin said and he gave her a kiss on the top of her head and gave her a hug then walked away.
"Ron is getting so annoying. I can't talk to a guy without him starting to yell at me. It's so annoying." Ginny complained.
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I'm kind of thinking of something, but I have to go talk with a certain guy first." Ginny said.
"Who is it?" Hermione asked excited.
"Not sure, I'll let it come to me." Ginny replied. "I'll see you later, ok Mione?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah, sure! I'll catch you later" Hermione said and she walked back to the compartment where Harry and Ron were waiting.
Ginny turned and started walking in the opposite direction from Hermione. She hear her name being called from behind her so she turned her head and saw no one there, when she turned back she bumped hard against someone. When she looked it was Draco, he was looking at here while she was still on the floor lying on her back.
"Are you ok?" Draco asked when Ginny focused on him.
"Yeah, I'm good. Sorry about that." Ginny said.
"No need to apologize!" Draco said extending his hand to help her up and giving her a smile, she took his hand and felt the warmth and softens of it, the warmth of his hand raced up her arm and spread threw her. Her heart started beating a little bit faster.
"Thanks for helping me up." Ginny said still holding his hand even after she was on her own two feet.
"My pleasure!" Draco said. "Are you ok now?" He asked.
"Yes, thank you. May I please have my hand back?" Ginny asked blushing slightly.
"Oh, sorry. Yeah!" Draco said and he let go of her hand, the warmth of each other that had coursed through their blood, the softness of their hands... they didn't want to let go.
"I'll see you later, ok Draco?" Ginny asked, Draco nodded and Ginny continued on her way. She only took 3 steps when she stopped and said, "Draco, can I ask you something?" when she turned around Draco was right behind her.
"Of course, anything!" He said looking at her eyes, then looking at her mouth for a second and then back at her eyes.
"You know my brother has been bugging me about boys, right?" Ginny asked.
"Yes" Draco replied still looking at her eyes.
"Well I was planning something and I think you'd be the perfect person to help me. Will you?" Ginny asked.
"I am!" Draco asked surprised, Ginny giggled and nodded. "Anything for you!" Draco said, Ginny blushed and then Draco started wondering why he was acting like this. He was known for being mean and rude, toward everyone. Why was he being so nice now? That question was floating around in his head but he decided to think about it later because for the moment he had Ginny to pay attention to.
"Well, I'll warn you, it might get complicated." Ginny said.
"I can take it!" Draco replied confidently.
"I need you to help me..."
