T he Whisperer
(A Drinny Interveiw)
G inny
A s I walked through the corridors, I was thinking about what just happened. I was thinking back to a day ago, when I was the girlfriend of the famous Harry Potter. How I loved him, and he loved me. But that all changed. Last night as I walked to the dormitories, I heard crying. As I got closer to the little room of to the side of the common room, I realised two people were in there. One was crying, while trying to calm the other person, but it was the heavy crying that alerted my attention. A cry I had heard before. The cry of my brother. I opened the door slightly and revealed Hermione and Ron sitting on the couch crying. I went in to see what was wrong. When they saw me, they started crying harder. "Ginny, I'm so sorry," said Hermione. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Surely you've been told" said Ron between sobs. "Told about what?" I said a bit impatiently. "Ginny, Harry… Harry's sick. In a way that may not be able to be cured." Said Hermione before she burst out into sobs again. "He can't remember anything-not even us, not even you." Said Ron. I walked out of the room slowly. Now that Harry had amnesia, how could I be his girlfriend? And what use was a girlfriend to a guy who will probably spend the rest of his life in hospital? The great Harry Potter. Who will protect us now? As I thought all about this, I walked aimlessly through the corridors and walkways. Not even when it got dark did I go back. I just kept walking. And that's all that I have planned. Finally, when I was feeling tired, I walked back. I knew that word would have gotten out through the Gryffindor's, so I walked slowly. I was thinking about how this all could have happened. Do I deserve this? Because I was lost in my own thoughts, I didn't notice that someone else was out as well. In fact, I didn't notice until I bumped straight into them. We both toppled over. "Who's there?!" I heard someone say. Unfortunately, I recognised that voice. "Hi Malfoy." "Oh. It's you." He said back. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on top of Draco Malfoy. "Ew" I said and got off. As I started walking off, I heard Malfoy call me. "Wait, Weasley. You're just the person I was looking for. Can you follow me?" "Okay?" I followed Malfoy through a bunch of corridors until we got outside. "So, you're telling me there is something special about this lake huh?" I spoke. "Well, it would be a lot better if there was one more thing every night…" Malfoy said. "And? What is that?" I asked him. He stared at me for a bit, probably wondering if he should tell me. His expression soon showed that he had made his final decision. "You" he answered. "Me? But you're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor!" I replied. "So?" after that, I don't remember much. I just remember the feel of his lips on my cheek as we parted ways. It was the first kiss anyone other than my parents had given me. It was wonderful.
"Draco Malfoy?!" Hermione yelled. Everyone turned and stared at us. "Ssh, Hermione. He'll hear you". I had just told her about what happened last night. I had left out the bit about the 'one more thing'. "I don't care if he hears me! He can't just come up to you in the middle of the night, right when your vulnerable, and attack! He can't just say, 'I want to take you down to the lake' on the exact night you lost your boyfriend!" "Miss Granger!" yelled Professor Snape. "Keep your voice down, or it'll be 10 points from Gryffindor!" With that Hermione went silent. Everyone went back to eating their breakfast. People these days care about gossip for the few seconds that they hear it, then they completely forget. Although I could still see some people on the Slytherin table whispering under their breath and quickly glancing at me. I looked over at Malfoy. He had bags under his eyes and looked like he didn't get enough sleep. As soon as he glanced over at me, I looked straight down into my bowl. I could feel him staring at me.

Draco Malfoy
I knew that she had been looking at me. I could tell by the way that she immediately put her head down into her cereal. Literately. Her head sort of fell into her cereal bowl. When she lifted it up, her face was covered in cereal. Under her mask of cereal, I could see her blush as she ran away. I quickly excused myself from the Slytherin table. I followed her outside, until I realised that I was not alone.

Hermione
As soon as I saw him get up from the Slytherin table after Ginny, I knew something was off. I jumped up and followed him out the great hall. He looked behind himself at me. His eyes widened and he quickly turned into a random classroom. It was Mr. Filch's cupboard. I flinched as soon as I heard shouting. Wait. Why was I feeling sorry for this guy? He's evil! Literally!
Ginny
I sensed that Malfoy was following me. Unfortunately, I soon after heard shouting. I heard running footsteps and coming up to me was… Hermione. I'd kind of wanted Malfoy to follow me. Don't ask me why I said that. It's just… he seems so right for me. I knew that we could never be a thing though. He was a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor. It would never work. And plus, what would my parents say if I said "I'm in love with a Malfoy" to them? I really need to work this out in some way.
Draco
So… I got detention for bumping into Filch. But it was worth it for the look on Granger's face. It was this mix of confusion, excited and scared. It was cute. Then she ran away. After Ginny. I mean after Weasley. *Looks around nervously* Dray, you can't just write "looks around nervously". Shut up Ginny. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I got detention. *sigh* 2 weeks of cleaning the Gryffindor common room. At least I got to be in there. Where she was. Where they were. What? No Ginny, I do not love anybody else except you. *wink* Draco how could you?! You little b- Now, now Ginny. This is supposed to be child appropriate. You say that like what your about to say is child appropriate. Well maybe I'll leave out the bit were I f- Draco! Jeez, okay, okay. I don't know why I was cleaning the Gryffindor common room. It was clearly superior in this case. You mean It's really filthy. Where did you come from Granger?! The back rooms. I'm part of this story too. Huh? I thought it was just Ginny and I. Uhm yeah, speaking of which. Ginevra Molly Weasley. You have some explaining to do. About what? About Mr. Malfoy being here. And sitting NEXT TO YOU. Uhm well… Hm? You… said my name wrong? Wait what? Yeah… its actually Ginevra Molly… Yes? Malfoy. AAAAAAAAAA
DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAD TO CUT THE INTERVEIW THERE. WE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.OOF. Ronald! Sorry mum… Oh dear. My poor little Ginny. Bruh.
