Drinny FF
Chapter 21
I sat in the back of the library, studying potions. Without ginny, it was a lot harder. Everything was a lot harder.
I know I shouldn't have lashed out like that at her but it was hard. I was just trying to help her, why couldn't she see that? Why couldn't she trust me?
Suddenly a shadow leaned over me. As I looked behind me, I saw the reason my heart beat.
Ginny: Let's talk about it.
Draco: What?
Ginny: I said, let's talk about it.
She set down her bag and sat on the chair next to me.
Ginny: You want to talk about it. Fine. Let's do it.
Draco: Really?
Ginny: Yeah, I'm in.
She looked at me, expectantly.
Draco: So what happened that caused you to have a…
Ginny: A panic attack, that's what they're called.
Draco: Right.
Ginny: Um, so, I was looking for your quarters, to apologize. I didn't fully remember where they were, so I was kinda lost. Then… Crabbe and Goyle… they stopped me. Touched me.
Draco: Touch you? Where'd they touch you?
Ginny: Nothing weird. It's just that, I think… they wanted to touch me… weird.
Draco: Those fucking morons.
I was about to stand up, go look for them and give them what they deserved, but Ginny laid her hand on my arm. Feeling the heath, radiating off of her, I sat back down.
Ginny: I'm fine, Draco. Thanks to you.
She gave me a small smile and I think she knew what my next question was going to be.
Draco: So… are you going to tell me what's really going on?
Ginny: Alright. Do you have time?
She looked at my potions book. I, immediately, closed the book, showing her she got all my attention. I had been waiting so long for this conversation, my heart began beating faster and my breathing sped up.
Draco: I've got all the time in the world.
