Disclaimer: Again, I own nothing. The great J.K. Rowling does. If I owned Harry Potter I would not be the poor little college student that I am. And I would take Draco out for a little spin if you know what I mean.
I've gotten over 100 reviews. Thank you all so much and keep reviewing. I won't keep you any longer.
Chapter 15
Ginny sat in the Great Hall wondering where Hermione was. She hadn't seen her for a few days and she was starting to worry about her. I wonder where Hermione is. She's definitely not one to miss classes like this. I think that I'm going to go see her after breakfast. Before classes started, Ginny stopped by the dormitory to check on her. She stood in front of a portrait that she had never seen before. It was of a young man and woman who where obviously in love. They looked strangely like Hermione and Draco. That's odd, I've been all over this castle and I haven't ever seen this portrait before. Oh well. I guess it's nothing. She went over to the portrait and knocked on it. After the third knock, Draco came and let her in.
"Thank Merlin you came Ginny. She won't come out of the room."
"Why? What's wrong? Is it the baby?"
"No, the baby is fine as far as we know. The other day she found out something about her mum and….ummm….I'll just let her tell you about it when she's ready. Provided she lets you in."
"Why wouldn't she?"
"She hasn't let me in there except to change clothes since the day after she found out. I've been sleeping on the couch. I want to go in there but I doubt that she'll let me. Would you talk to her please?"
"Yeah, sure I will Malfoy."
"Please call me Draco. You're Mi's best friend other than Potter and your brother. I guess that we're going to have to get along sooner or later."
"Yeah, I guess so, um, Draco. Where's your bedroom at?"
"Right over there beside the fireplace. Take your time please. I have double Potions to get to. What classes do you have this morning?"
"Transfiguration and History of Magic."
"I'll make your excuses to Professors McGonagall and Binns. Please talk to her for me. The couch is getting kind of lonely."
"I will and thanks Draco."
"No problem." And with that Draco went out the door.
Ginny turned to face the bedroom door. She stood in front of it, sighed and knocked. "Herms, it's me, Ginny. Can I please come in?"
"Yeah Gin. Is Draco with you?"
"No he left for Potions."
'Good, come in them."
She opened the door slowly. She looked around and saw that Hermione was sitting on her and Draco's huge king size bed in a pair of what she could guess of Draco's silk green pajamas. Hermione was of course reading and eating a gallon of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream. She looked horrible.
"Hey. How are you doing?"
"I'm ok, I guess."
'How come you didn't want Draco to come in here with me? I thought that you two were inseparable?"
"Well, ever since our meeting with Dumbledore the other night, he's been clingy and won't leave me alone. He always wants to talk about what was said the other night and I don't want to talk about it. I want to get it out of my mind as soon as possible and move on with my life."
Ginny, while Hermione had been talking, was scheming of a way to get Hermione's mind off of her troubles. I've got it!
"Herms, what would you think of a girls night? We could have it here and send Draco to the Slytherin dorm or have him spend quality time with Harry and Ron or something other than be here. We'd have food and games and a lot of girl talk. I know that some of the girls are wondering what it's like to be married to the Slytherin Sex God."
Hermione blushed at the last comment. "I don't know. I know I'm not the most favorite person on everyone's list. Who would we invite anyway?"
"Well, let's see. There's Luna, Pavarti, Padma, Lavender, me, and whoever else you want to come.'
"I think that those people are enough. Besides, my rooms not that big."
Ginny glanced around the room. It was the biggest room she had ever seen by far. "Hermione, what are you talking about? This room is HUGE."
"The room that I have at the Manor is a lot bigger than this."
"Oh, ok. Well, are we on for tonight?"
"Yeah sure, but make sure that it's ok with McGonagall and Flitwick before you go asking anyone ok?"
"Always the Head Girl, aren't you?"
"Not really, it's the mother in me."
Both girls just laughed and made plans for that night.
The next chapter will be up shortly. I just have to work out a few kinks.
