A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for reviewing. Here's another chapter!

Chapter 9

Love hurts

Ginny's eyes fluttered open. She winced at the broad daylight. "Holy shit! What's the damn time?" Ginny thought hysterically, wide awake now. She stared at the clock in the common room in utter horror. It was a little before lunch, which meant that she had missed two whole periods. "Wow." She thought grumpily. "How very thoughtful of everyone, to just not wake me up." Suddenly she remembered. It was Saturday! "Yay!" she thought happily. "No boring lessons for today! I'm gonna go find Draco to spend this lovely day with me!"

That's when it hit her. The whole ugly scene from the night before hit her like a ton of bricks. She flopped back down on the chair. Maybe, she started thinking, this was just another frame? Just that it's Pansy this time. But, wait. It can't be. Draco said he loved her. And she was the one to ask Pansy to continue. I thought he loved me. I thought we were happy together. How could I have been so naïve? How could I have been so stupid? Oh God. This sucks. A silent tear dripped down on Ginny's hand, which was on her lap. The memories of the times she had spent together with Draco. The laughter and sadness they had shared. She missed it already. She had cherished them. Did Draco? Ginny thought that the sex was great. Did Draco think so too?

Draco's voice flooded her head. "God, Ginny, you're beautiful," , "I love you, Gin," , "Nothing will come between us, I promise," , "I won't cheat on you, Ginny, why would I?" , "What would I do without you?", and finally, "To hell with that weasel." Ginny crossed her arms on the table and buried her head in her arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Her heart felt like a sinking ship, aching so much, it hurts.

Suddenly there was a snap of a door. Some one had entered the common room.

"Yeah, where is she? She was supposed to go shopping with us last night, wasn't she?"

Ginny turned around. It was Lavender and Parvati. She quickly sat up straight and used the back of her hand and drew a shaky breath.

"Hey, there's Ginny. Let's ask her." Parvati replied.

"Hey Gin!" The two seventh years walked over.

"Hi guys. What's up?" Ginny forced a smile.

"Have you been crying?" Parvati asked, her brows knitted together.

"Yeah, what's wrong Ginny? Anything we can do to help?" Lavender's big, round eyes were full of concern.

"Oh, it's nothing much, just a major case of PMS." Ginny said with a shaky laugh. "What did you want to ask me?"

"Oh, we were just wondering if you've seen Hermione. She's missing."

"Nope. Sorry. I'll tell her You two were looking for her if I do bump into her though."

"That'd be great. Thanks." Lavender said.

"Oh, and uh, If there's anything we can do to help, just say the word." Parvati smiled warmly.

Ginny nodded and showed a tiny smile. She rested her head on the table again. She sat in that position for about fifteen minutes, thinking of the times she had spent together with Draco. There were so many flashbacks going through her head. She was about to get up to wash herself up, when her toe hit the leg of the table. Hard.

"Ow!" Ginny exclaimed. Her eyes were stinging because of the pain. She glared hard at the table and slapped it. "Ahh! Fuck you!" She pounded her fist several times on the table in anger. "Fuck the whole damn world!"

She sat slumped in her chair and groaned.

Draco was brisk walking frantically around the school, searching for Ginny. He had looked in the library, the Great Hall, almost everywhere. The only place he had not gone to was the Griffindor's common room. He headed there.

At the same time:

Ginny decided to get up from her chair. She had eaten neither breakfast nor lunch, which was almost over by now, and decided to go the kitchen to grab a bite. Just as she opened the portrait door, she saw Draco standing there, with an anxious expression.

"Ginny! There you are! Hey, what's wrong? Why didn't you come to my common room last night?" Draco asked.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Ginny asked coldly, stepping out of the portrait hole and closing the door behind her, slamming it in Draco's face. She walked on towards the kitchen.

"Ginny, what's wrong? You're not… well, you. Did something happen?"

"Oh, you bet your fucking ass something happened!" Ginny burst out.

"Ginny, dear, can we talk this out? I really have no idea what you're talk-" Draco was trying hard to keep up with Ginny's long strides.

"Don't you Ginny dear me! And no! I don't want to talk this out. Now get lost!" Ginny said furiously.

Draco stopped dead. He tilted his head and tried to phantom Ginny out. Why was she being so hostile? What did he do? He turned around and headed to his room to think.

Ginny wiped the tears, streaming down her face. She had no idea where she was going to, since Draco had distracted her. Her vision was a blur, she couldn't see anything clearly. She just squatted down and leaned against the wall to cry. It was a deserted corridor, she wouldn't think that anyone would be here.

"Miss your Draco darling?" A voice hissed into her ear. She turned her head, to find herself inches away from Pansy's face. Pansy smirked and sauntered off. Ginny was stunned for a moment, then she heard the heels of Pansy's again. She had walked back.

"What do you want now, Parkinson?" Ginny glared at her.

"Oh, nothing, just thought you might like to know that he gave me this," Pansy un buttoned her blouse and showed Ginny the red mark at her lower neck. It was a hickey. Ginny stared at it. "Oh, and this too!" Pansy exposed the upper part of her breast, and Ginny saw another hickey. She looked away. Pansy buttoned up her blouse.

"Aww, life's just not fair, isn't it, Weasley?" Pansy cooed sarcastically. She laughed and walked away.

Ginny fumed after her disappearing figure and with one last glare, she spun around on her heels and walked towards the kitchen. Her stomach had just reminded her she was hungry.

Ginny headed to the Great Hall alone for dinner, just in time to see Pansy hoisting herself up onto Draco's lap and caressing his face. She nibbled his earlobe. Ginny walked towards the Griffindor's table, not once tearing her eyes away from them. She had half expected Draco to push Pansy away when he had caught her eye, but instead he had simply smirked at her and kissed Pansy fully on the lips.

Ginny's eyes began to sting.

What the hell is up with Draco!
