Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER! Bursts into tears and runs toward her room "I only wanted to tie him to my bed!" LOL
Chapter 10
"Draco! Where are you?" yelled Ginny, walking into their rooms after a solo practice.
"Merlin, a loudmouth Cherry! That's where my hearing went. I'm here, just looking at this photo album." She laughed at his comment and seated herself on the arm of his chair.
"You were gonna show that to me. Know anyone in the pictures?"
"Yeah, my mum with Gryffindors, very buddy buddy with gryffs. Look at this one." He turned to the last age of the album, showing her the picture of his mum and Molly Prewitt. "I don't know who the girl is though."
"Draco, Molly Prewitt is my mum."
My Dearest Ginger Cat,
Hey, Girly! Watch ya doin'? Your answer better be your hottie roommate! Hehe! Anyways, I kinda have bad news. I am still coming to Hogwarts, but I have some tag-a-longs from Salem. Yep, you guessed it, Cormac and Sean themselves. Now that the bad news is over, more good news. LORI IS COMING! Hehe! She's a new teach at Hogwarts! Yay! Cormac didn't plan on his sister being there! By the way, keep this on the DL, we're not supposed to know yet!
Love Bunches,
Tara
Ginny threw herself back on her bed and groaned. Cormac was coming to Hogwarts?
This year will be so much fun!
'Yeah, if fun is being chased around and annoyed by an ex-fling.'
"Can I read the letter, Cherry?" Asked Draco, walking into her room.
"Sure, if you want." She replied setting up, as he plopped down beside her. Draco quickly scanned the letter and looked back up at her.
"Explain. I don't know who these people are." He said, giving her his confused-as-hell look.
"Cormac is an ex-fling of mine from last summer when I visited Tara. Sean is Tara's ex-boyfriend from around the same time. There's a big long story behind both of the breakups, but both were jerks and they both want us back. So they will be following us for the rest of the school year, but Lori is coming. Lori is Cormac's older sister and she loves Tara and me and always takes up for us." Ginny explained.
"Well, they wont be following you around if I have anything to do with it." Draco said, sitting up straight and flexing his muscles.
"Oh, my big bad Draco will protect me? What will you do, turn into a ferret and pounce on him?" Ginny laughed as Draco's mouth dropped open.
"I don't like you anymore." He said defiantly, slouching down and pouting. Ginny watched him push out his lower lip and felt a strange fluttering in her stomach. She placed her hand on her tummy, trying to get it to stop, but Draco misread her actions.
"Hungry? Let's go get food." And he grabbed her hand to pull her out of the room. All Ginny could think of were the sparks when he touched her and the shivers running up and down her spine.
"Are you okay, Cherry?" He asked as they walked out of their rooms and down towards the kitchens. "You seem a little distant today, did you decide to travel to Pluto and leave your body here?"
"Huh? Um, sure." She answered, not having heard a word he said. He grinned at her and Ginny felt as if she was melting.
'Breathe, Ginevra.'She thought. 'What the crap is going on with me? Harry, I love Harry.'
But you never got these kind of feelings with Harry. Sure you were nervous and all, but melting when he smiles, I don't think we got to that one.
'Go away.'
"Never mind. So, what do you want to eat?" He tickled the pear and walked into the kitchen. She followed, not quite knowing why she was reacting to him the way she was, but knowing she was kind of liking the new feelings
'What was wrong with me today?' Ginny asked herself, lying in bed later that night.
You like Draco. Why don't you just admit it, at least to yourself?
'I don't like him!'
Shivers, sparks, butterflies? What is that a sign of then? Epilepsy?
'I don't like him! How could I like him, he's like my best friend!'
Your mum and dad are best friends. Didn't they always tell you your husband would be the one person you could do anything with or tell anything to?
'Oh, Gods, I can't like him! I won't...I..I...Merlin, I like him! But, once again, what about Harry? I love him!' Ginny groaned and rolled over to go to sleep, but found she couldn't, she had too many things on her mind. Setting up and pulling her notebook off her night stand, she began to write.
The next morning Ginny walked into the Great Hall, still scribbling away into her notebook. Draco was on stage singing and she took a few seconds to gaze at his angelic form before setting at one of the tables and going back to her writing.
"What are you writing, Ginny? Another song we can add to your list?" Luke asked, walking up to her.
"I wrote a song last night, I'm still working on the music, though. Wait, I think I'm done." She laid down her pen and flexed her wrist to get all the kinks out.
"Okay, why don't you get up there and sing that song for me?" He motioned toward the stage that Draco was climbing off of.
"But, I don't know if the music is totally right. And, the lyrics may need to be tweaked a little. And..." She was cut off.
"Ginny, I know it's a rough cut, but I want to hear the song to see if we need to put it in the show or not." Ginny swallowed and made her way to the stage slowly. She watched Luke flick his arm to her notebook, then toward the stage, and her music started to play.
You walk by and my heart beats
A thousand times at once it seems
And every time you look at me
I have to tell myself to breathe
With just a smile you capture me, and I start to melt
Emotions then take over me like I've never felt
I could tell me heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie
Is there a chance you could be mine
If I let you see inside
Or do you love somebody else
Should I keep this to myself
I could risk a broken heart by telling you the truth
Or I could keep my secret safe and when I see you
I could tell me heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie
Once again there you are
Anxiousness, nervous heart
Butterflies fluttering
Can only mean one thing
I could tell me heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie
Ginny looked at Draco. He grinned up at her with his 'I-love-it' smile. She melted again, then shook her head to get out of her stupor. The day was going to be interesting.
She lay back on one of the long wooden tables, tired from the day and severely confused. Why did she always let her brain get the best of her? She should have been able to say, 'this thing with Draco is just a crush, infatuation, and Harry is forever.' She couldn't, because she didn't know if it was true or not. Suddenly a blonde head popped over her.
"Gods, Draco, you about gave me a heart attack." He grinned, sitting down beside her asGinny sat up. "What is it?"
"Nothing, you just seem a little out of it. Luke told us to leave like ten minutes ago." A confused look spread her face, and she jumped off the table, preparing to leave the Great Hall.
"I don't remember that." She shook her head as they started to walk out of the Great Hall. 'What is wrong with me! I can usually double task, I can think about anything and not get distracted. What is it about this guy that makes me forget everything?'
AN- Well, there's a chapter. The song is Butterflies don't lie by Kaci.
