Saturday November 12th
Ginny was standing in front of the Shrieking Shack waiting for her date to show up. She was excited to finally meet him. After receiving all of those beautiful letters, all she could think of was how amazing this guy seemed to be. Everything was moving so fast she couldn't believe it was all real. I guess the saying is true; when one door closes a window opens, so jump. Ginny was ready to jump. She had never done anything risky in her life; and she was sick of it. It was time for her to take control of her life, and this was the first step.
Of course, she was still nervous. Every minute she waited for this guy, he stomach tightened more and more. She kept thinking about some of the secrets she had told him in those letters. About her relationship with Harry and her hopes and dreams, everything she was afraid to tell her friends she told this random guy. All she hoped was that she would not regret taking this chance on someone.
"Hey Weasley what's going on?" came the cold voice of Draco Malfoy, who was walking right toward her, with an unusual smirk on his face. Ginny almost mistook it as a smile.
"Go away Malfoy, I'm meeting someone here and I don't need you to ruin it."
"Really your meeting someone?"
"Yes, I have a date."
"Really. Is he good looking?'
"I do not understand why you care so much. But if you must know, I do not know what he looks like."
"Well, knowing your taste he is probably tall, blonde, awesome body…"
"Oh my god its you!" Ginny shrieked.
"Yes it is. Surprised?"
"Shocked is a better word. Disgusted is the next word that comes to mind.'
"Okay, now I can see why you are shocked, but disgusted is just a little strong don't you think."
"No I do not. After everything you have done to me for the past six years, how can I not be disgusted that the son of a death eater is the one that has been sending me love letters for the past week."
"I promise you everything I said in those letters…."
"Why would you do that? I never thought sending love letters to a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend was your style. I knew you were mean and liked to see me suffer but I didn't think you would toy with someone's emotions like this!"
"First of all you told me you were relieved Harry broke up with you…"
"We are not here two seconds and you are already using those letters against me."
"I am not using them against you. I was just stating fact. A smart girl like you knows deep down I was not using that fact against you. Right?" Ginny nodded in agreement. Even she couldn't deny that she had said that.
"Second of all, I would never toy with your emotions like that. I had promised you in my letters, you can trust me."
"How can I trust you? You're the son of a Death Eater and will probably be one by the time you leave school."
"Ginny," Draco said with a serious look on his face, "I am nothing like my father. You can trust me on that. The last person I would ever want to end up like is that cold hearted bastard. I even told you in a letter, I know what it is liked to be labeled because of your family. I also remember saying I wanted you to get to kknow the real me. Do you remember me saying that?" Ginny nodded weakly in response.
"Well the guy in those letters is the real me. Come on Ginny, I really do like you. I meant everything I said in those letters. I want to get to know you. I want to know about your life and dreams. I want to know that passion hidden inside of you. And I know deep down you want to know if I am really like that guy that sent you those letters. And I promise you will not be disappointed. Come on Gin, don't you think you could give me a chance?"
Ginny thought for a minute. She had no idea what to do. So many thoughts were running through her head. I mean this is Draco Malfoy. This is a boy who has teased her family relentlessly. A boy who always believed she was below him. She couldn't help admit to herself that she was attracted to him. All she was picturing right now was him without a shirt on; and just that thought got her a little aroused. And he did have a valid point. She really did want to know if Malfoy was truly that guy that was portrayed in the letters. He had shown a different side of himself to her in those letters. And not giving him a chance may be just as hurtful if he were to use her secrets against her. A chance is something every person should get. And she was going to give one to Draco Malfoy, of all people.
"Fine. I'll hang out with you today, but if you are out of line just one time I swear I will…."
"You don't have to finish that sentence. I understand. Come on lets go." Grabbing her hand he walked her into the village.
Blaise was in Honeydukes pretending to look for candy. In reality, he was watching Ron in the not creepy stalker way. He was finally ready to make his move. He was hoping it would be today, but he did not want to do it in front of Hermione. How awkward would that be; trying to pick up a guy in front of his ex girlfriend. It would already be awkward enough, no need to add Hermione to the mix.
Blaise wasn't even 100 percent positive Ron was even gay. All he knew was he had a feeling that he might be; and he was praying to god that this feeling was correct. He had never felt this way about a guy before. Sure he had gone out with a few guys over the past few years, but none he had ever wanted to get serious about. But when he thought about Ron, all he could see was the possibility of an amazing relationship. He was finally thinking about a serious relationship, but there was still the chance of being shot down.
But this was not like Blaise. He had never had problems hitting on guys before; even ones he knew were straight. But this felt different to him. He did not want to get shot down by a guy he liked this much. But he was still Blaise Zabini, and no matter what he was still gonna make his move today. He would just have to wait until they split up….they would eventually….. hopefully.
Ron was with Hermione picking out candy in Honeydukes. Even though he had broken up with her at the beginning of the year, they were still very good friends. Actually he was very surprised that she took it so well. He half expected her to never talk to him again. But this was good, this was the way he wanted it. Because if she found out the true reason why he broke up with her, she really wouldn't talk to him anymore. Ron had told Hermione that they didn't have a lot in common and he just wanted to be friends. That was a lie. The truth was he was gay. Right now no one knew, not even his family. He wanted to keep it a secret for a little while. He had finally admitted it to himself that he was gay over the summer and was completely fine with it; he just did not think other people would see it the same way.
To tell you the truth, Ron already had a crush on someone. A huge crush actually. He was falling hard for Blaise Zabini and he did not know what to do. Ron already knew Blaise was gay, the whole school did. But Ron also knew Blaise had never been in a serious relationship; something Ron was really looking for. The last thing he wanted was to be shot down. So he silently suffered; not making a move on a guy he could see himself really liking. Nope, instead he was hanging out with his ex girlfriend, listening to her talk about something annoying, while he pictured Blaise in a swimsuit. My, his life was pitiful.
"Ron?" asked Hermione, snapping Ron out of his Blaise thoughts.
"Yeah Hermione?"
"Do you mind if I leave. I need to get some books and school supplies and I know you hate that stuff."
"No it's ok, I don't mind let me just pay for my candy and we can go." Ron said.
"No, Ron, I don't want to mess up the rest of your trip. I'll just go by myself and meet you back at the castle.
"Ok." Ron answered confused.
"Bye." Hermione said while walking out the door.
This was Blaise's chance. Hermione had just left, leaving Ron alone. 'I will just go up to him and talk.' Blaise thought while approaching Ron, 'God, he is so cute, I mean look at that hair.'
"Hey Ron." Said Blaise nicely.
"Hey Blaise what's up?" said Ron nervously. He did not understand why Blaise was talking to him. I mean his hair was probably a mess.
"Nothing just wandering around Hogsmade…alone."
"Yah that's probably what I'll be doing for the rest of the day."
"Hey, do you want to get a drink at the Three Broomsticks." Said Blaise, 'Please say yes please say yes…..' Blaise thought
"Really? You do know your asking me right?" Ron said with a smile.
"Of course I know I am asking you. I want to. So how about it?"
"Sure." Ron answered, "Let me just pay for my candy."
"No problem Blaise said with a smile. He could not believe this was happening. He watched Ron as he gathered his candy together and payed for it.
"All right lets go." Said Ron.
