Chapter 6 – Bliss and harsh Reality
By Mely
"At what time?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know…." Draco said.
"Oh for goodness sakes, Draco, you have to be a little more involved in this! I can't do it on my own, you know!" Ginny protested and looked at Draco her anger raising a little.
"I'm sorry!" he began slowly. "I'm not really used to this; this is all new ground for me. Last time I had a girl friend, it was on my terms not really on mutual ground, so I don't really know what to do or say or how to act…" he finished sadly.
"I understand, but if you're going to be with me, or at least pretend you're with me, then you have to participate in stuff with me. We have to do stuff together, talk, spend time and get to know each other better. Come on, the least you can do is try and if things aren't going well, then well figure it out…." Ginny said, Draco looked at her with a bit of hope in his eyes and then she said "together as it should be." Then she smiled and he returned a weak smile. "I have to go, I have class!" she said and she stood up.
They didn't realize but Ron was looking at them, studying their body language, though he had no idea what he was doing.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Ron asked Harry.
"I don't know, but you really shouldn't become obsessed with their relationship. Just let them be and watch from a far and if anything happens you should play the supportive and loving brother, not the jackass you're playing now." Harry said, Ron looked at him outraged and Harry added "I'm sorry mate, but it's true, they're going to be together whether you like it or not and if they really care for each other like they're tying to make us think, then there's nothing we can do, but be supportive and accept it. I know you don't want to, but at the end of the day its Ginny's life, no matter how much she's your little sister, she's growing up and there's nothing you can do to stop it, so just deal with it!" Harry said, then stood up and walked to class.
Draco stood up and grabbed Ginny's hand; she turned to look at him. He gave her a smile and said "Let me walk you to your class, ok." She smiled happily and they walked to class hand in hand.
"I almost forgot that I have classes with you now. Do you think that in other classes Hermione and Blaise can sit with us?" Ginny asked as she remembered that they were going to share most classes.
Draco shrugged in reply and then saw Ginny's raised eyebrow and said "Ok, if you want them too."
"Much better!" Ginny said praising his willingness to try and she gave him a big smile. She turned around and walked into the classroom, little did she know that Draco also had that same class at that moment and she came to realize when he sat beside her.
"Is this seat taken?" Draco asked.
Ginny jumped at his voice, smiled and said "Sadly yes, apparently my boyfriend wants to sit with me." she giggled.
"Is that so?" he asked amused and sat beside her. "Well, too late, he's going to have to find a different spot because I'm going to sit here."
"Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you, he's got quite a temper." Ginny said looking at him while smiling.
"No worries, I think I can handle him!" Draco replied, Ginny laughed softly and then the class started. They continued taking classes together and eventually when Hermione and Blaise were in the same class they all sat together and they talked after all their work had been done and they walked together from class to class.
"I've had a very nice day!" Ginny said as she and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table for lunch.
"I know me too. I'm really glad you are not the type to be talking and joking around in the middle of class like Ron!" Hermione said.
"Talking about me I see!" Ron said as he sat beside her and Harry sat across form him with Ginny.
"Yes, as a matter of fact we are! We're just grateful that we're not sitting with you because you talk in the middle of class. And we are actually trying to learn!" Ginny said being as mean as she could.
Ginny saw the anger flash in Ron's eyes, but he controlled it nicely as he said. "Well then, it's good we don't sit together, huh!" and with that last comment from Ron they kept quiet for the rest of lunch.
Ginny, Draco, Hermione and Blaise continued sitting together in the classes they could and before they knew it, it was dinner time.
"You know Draco, I thought you talked more in class, but I'm glad you don't!" Hermione said when they sat down for dinner at the Slytherin table.
"I'm glad you approve, I guess…." Draco said as he grabbed some food.
"What do you say if we go to see a movie this weekend?" Ginny asked.
"Who are you asking, me, or everyone?" Draco asked curious.
"Both actually, you and them; I want us to go together." Ginny said.
'I guess this is how she's going to start getting them together…' Draco thought as he smiled.
"Huh, you want us to go see a movie with you?" Blaise asked, apparently oblivious to the conversation.
Ginny laughed softly and said "Yes, I do!" she moved her leg under the table and felt another leg, she looked at Draco sitting in front of her and he looked at her saying with his eyes 'I know that's your leg' to which Ginny blushed slightly and moved her leg so that it wasn't touching his anymore.
"Fine I guess, but which movie?" Hermione said.
Ginny looked at Draco as she spoke "I don't know, why don't you two choose and then get back to us." Draco raised an eyebrow a little and nodded softly and Ginny smiled because he approved of her plans.
Hermione looked at Blaise who was sitting across from her beside Draco and he nodded. "Ok then. We'll go in a little bit and see what they have and we'll let you know tomorrow." Hermione said.
"No rush, take your time, It's only what…Tuesday?" Draco asked to which Hermione nodded. "There you go, we'll go on Saturday and you have till Friday to decide." Draco said pleasantly, Hermione nodded slightly.
"I'm going to go, I need to find a book in the library on astronomy" Hermione said.
"Ok, we'll see you later then. Good night, Mione!" Ginny said curious as to why Hermione needed another book but decided she'd worry about it later. Hermione stood up and left.
"I'm going to go find a horror story to read…." Blaise said about 2 minutes after Hermione had left.
"Ok, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Good Night Blaise!" Ginny said and he stood up and walked away.
"If they keep this us our plans won't be needed." Draco said with a chuckle.
"I know, if this keeps going they're going to end up together without us even having to try. Do you think that's what he's trying?" Ginny asked Draco.
"I don't really know. I've never seen him with a girlfriend and he's never really talked about it. He's kind of shy as you might have guessed" Draco informed her.
"You think!" Ginny said with a chuckle. "I just hope one way or another that things work out for them."
"How do you think they flirt though, reading passages from books like from Astronomy, Arithmancy, or History?" Draco asked with a chuckle.
Ginny realized at that moment how much she liked the sound of his laugher, it made her happy and it made her laugh. "I guess, I can picture them now…'Then the battle was waged'" Ginny said.
"'And they began to fight, trying to be the victors..'" Draco finished. They both broke out laughing at the thought of Hermione and Blaise flirting by reading passages from books.
"Though they might just flirt like normal people and then discuss heatedly their point of view on the passages" Ginny suggested.
"Yeah, that's probably it!" Draco said as they both continued laughing. "You're worse than I though!" he said as a compliment to Ginny's joke about her friend.
"Thank you I guess" Ginny said the laughter dying.
"It's getting kind of late and you probably have to do homework…." Draco said. Ginny nodded. "Ok, come on, I'll take you to your common room." Draco said standing up and grabbing her hand.
"If you didn't know any better you would actually think they like each other!" Ron said miserably. "Do you think it's actually possible for them to really like each other in that way?" Ron asked, but before Harry could answer he continued "I don't think so… What if they're just doing it to get on my nerves!" He exclaimed thinking it all made sense now.
"Ron, don't be delusional! Ginny is not like that and you know it, you're just trying to find a flaw in their relationship. Maybe they do like each other and you have to come to terms with it." Harry said quickly growing tired of Ron's latest obsession.
"Come off it, Harry! She's just trying to get back at me, she's evil that way. And the idiot is probably playing into some type of plan or game Draco has to hurt her and hurt me even further…" Ron speculated. Harry sighed; he realized his friend was starting to act crazy.
"If you keep this up, Ron; I'm just going to stop hanging out with you. Because it's only been the second day and I'm already tired of this shit!" Harry snapped. Ron was startled and looked at Harry.
"Well I'm sorry if you don't think that Ginny dating Draco is a cause to worry, but I do. So if you don't care for her it's your problem. She's my sister and I have to keep her safe!" Ron said.
"But she's growing up Ron! She's going to have to make her own mistakes at some point and you can't shelter her from it. She's stronger and smarter than you give her credit for." Harry retorted; then turned to the girls that were sitting with them once more and said. "Come on, let's go!" and he held his hand out waiting for the girl to take it.
Draco and Ginny were leaving the great hall when Draco put his arm around her shoulder. They walked for a little taking their time, with Draco's arm on Ginny's shoulder and Ginny's arm around Draco's waist. They heard a weird sound and Draco pulled Ginny closer to keep her safe, but it turned out to be 2 first years that apparently had too much candy. They walked slowly in the corridor that had windows, so they could be bathed in the light of the moon that was flowing in through the windows.
They were walking down a corridor which ended and you could only turn right and they heard 2 girls walking and saying "I don't really think Draco's with Ginny. I heard they were, but I think it's just some kind of joke they're playing." One of the girls said.
"I know, I'd love to be Draco's girlfriend and I'll do my best when they stop pretending." The other girl said.
"I'm going to do something, but bear with me ok?" Draco asked quickly as the girls were draying nearer. Ginny nodded and he pulled her in and kissed her. For a moment she stiffened, but then she relaxed as his hands cupped her face and her hands fell to rest on his waist. The kiss started of as just their lips touching, but the warmth that spread through them was over whelming. Draco started to kiss her more passionately oblivious to the fact that the 2 girls had stopped in the corner and were spying on them. He opened her mouth softly with his and slowly caressed her lips with his tongue and then caressed her tongue with his. They kissed lovingly, Ginny felt warm, comfortable and safe in Draco's arms and her tongue made circles around Draco's and as she nibbled softly on his lip and he sucked on her lip. They slowly took the kiss back to what it had started as first removing their tongues and then making it as only their lips touching. Draco pulled back and they looked lovingly into each others eyes, both overwhelmed by the joy and warmth that they felt. Their expressions were sheer joy and love and he put his arm around her shoulder once more and she put her arm around his waist and they walked off barely noticing the 2 girls with their jaws dropped.
"Damn! I wish a guy kissed me that way!" One of the girls said as they walked into the corridor where Ginny and Draco had just been.
"Damn, I need a boyfriend!" The other one said and Ginny and Draco laughed.
Shortly after they were on the same floor as Ginny's dorm room, Ginny sighed as they stopped close to the entrance to her common room.
"I had an awesome day" Ginny said not knowing exactly how to say that she loved the kiss.
"Me too…" Draco said in a soft voice.
"You're an amazing kisser!" Ginny said, Draco smiled and a little color shone in his cheeks.
"Thank you, you're an amazing kisser too. I've never been kissed that way, it was the best ever." Draco said and Ginny blushed slightly "Thank you for playing along. I was worried there for a second." Draco said bringing Ginny quickly and painfully back to reality.
Her expression changed from dreamy to serious and she said "It was nothing." She looked at the floor ashamed that she had liked the kiss so much. Draco realized that her expression had turned serious very quickly and that she was looking at the floor. He grabbed her chin and tilted her head up to face him. He lowered his head slowly and he saw the anticipation in her eyes and that she wanted it as she moistened her lips with her tongue. His lips covered hers and once again the slow dance of their mouths began, starting off nice and soft and ending passionately and lovingly. Ginny was in heaven when he separated from her, that's what her expression told him and he smiled happy that he could bring her so much joy and pleasure.
"Why did you do that? There wasn't anyone one coming…" Ginny said confused and once again returning painfully to reality. Draco smiled which made her wonder his intentions.
"Because I wanted to" Draco began and Ginny smiled then he added "And because if we're going to pull this off successfully we'll need to get used to each other's kisses that way it doesn't look like we're just doing it to put on a show. To make them see that it's real." Draco said.
'But is it real, or am I just being stupid falling for you?' she asked silently.
"Good night, sweet dreams. I'll see you tomorrow in the great hall." Draco said, Ginny nodded and turned and walked away. He was smiling lovely on the inside. 'Why does it feel so right to kiss her?' he asked himself. 'Why did I feel so wrong and bad when I made her turn from happy and blissful to sad?' he asked himself. He didn't understand what was going on, for him all this was new territory and she knew it. He had been very honest earlier that day. 'Do I have a crush on her?' he asked himself as he entered his own common room and realized that Hermione and Blaise were there. Though they didn't notice he walked in, they were too busy in their books or so they wanted him to think, so he decided to scurry up to his room and sleep to try and see if in the morning all thoughts and questions had been answered.
