When Harry saw Ginny walk into the compartment about 30 minutes after she had left, he was a little confused and stunned with what he saw. Ginny's hair was all over the place, her lip-gloss had been seriously smeared, and the two of the buttons on her shirt were mysteriously gone like the shirt had been torn open by frustrated hands. And along with all that, she had this broad smile on her face that never seemed to go away.
"What happened to you?" cried Harry.
"Hummm? Oh nothing. I just, uh, I just… I fell! Yeap, that's what happened! I fell."
Harry looked at her oddly and uttered, "OOOOOOOOOOkay! Whatever!"
A few moments later Hermione walked in followed by Ron. Hermione told them that the train would soon be arriving at Hogwarts and that they needed to change into their robes. They all left to change and a few minutes later they had arrived at the school. They got out of the train and started down to the carriages. Harry noticed out of the corner of his eye that Malfoy was standing unusually close to him and Ginny. He felt a sudden pang of jealousy.
"But why?" he thought, "There's nothing going on between Ginny and Malfoy."
"What am I doing?!?" was all he could think. "What am I doing?!?"
He was sitting at the Syltherin House table on the night of the first feast and all he could think about was Ginny. How did she do that to him? How did she make it so that she was the only thing that he could think of? He started replaying all the moments he had ever spent with her from the moment he first met her at the beginning of second year, to the moment in the bookstore, to the 30 minutes of kissing and other games that had gone on that afternoon (he had a wry smile on his face from this thought alone. Why were buttons so much harder to undo on her clothes then on his own?). He couldn't help stare at her constantly throughout the meal and occasionally he caught her eye. That alone made him queasy inside.
"I can not be doing these kinds of things with a Gryffindor, much less a Weasley. What will my family say, what will my friends say, what will the school say?"
With that thought he became frantic, got up and ran out of the great hall.
AT THE GRYFINDOR TABLE…
"I wonder what's up with him," said Ron
"I don't know, I think he is just being the jerk Malfoy that he is and trying to get attention," replied
Harry
Ginny just watched as he ran out not saying a word. She then made up some excuse about having to use the bathroom and
left looking for Draco.
The moment she left the noise of the Great Hall, she could hear his hard footsteps up above. She walked quickly up the staircases and found him pacing on a staircase landing by the third floor. When he turned around and saw her, nothing seemed to happen but a long pause as their eyes met each other's. He then quickly turned around from sheer frustration.
"What's wrong?" asked Ginny concerned
"What's wrong is you!" snapped Draco
Ginny looked hurt and he could tell that that was not thing to have said at that exact moment. "I don't mean
that you are wrong I just know that you and me, us, is wrong!" That seemed to make her even more upset and angry.
Then she suddenly turned around and started walking back down to the feast.
"Weasley, don't do this!" cried Draco.
All of a sudden she turned around and her face was as red as her hair and she started storming towards Draco. Draco started slowly backing up not knowing what the infuriated Ginny was going to do.
"Now you listen here Malfoy! For four years you have tormented my family and me and I have had enough of it. All of sudden because I am prettier this year, you think that you can get me to be yours and you can have me all to yourself. And I let you sweep me up and don't protest. Now after you have gotten me you act like this is my entire fault and that there is something wrong with me instead of you. I am sick and tired of it Malfoy!"
By now Draco had backed up so much that he had fallen onto the stairs and Ginny was on top of him. He smiled up at her.
"WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT MALFOY?!?" She was really angry and her face showed it.
"My name is Draco, Weasley, not Malfoy."
Then, taking her by surprise pulled her down and passionately kissed her for what seemed like hours. They were lying on those stairs, kissing, for about five minutes when he pulled away.
When he looked at her, her eyes were still closed and she was motionless just rubbing her lips together. She fell onto his chest breathing heavily. 'Where did he learn to do that?' was all that was going through her mind. She looked up at him and spoke,
"There aren't any buttons to break on this, so you won't need to get so frustrated." She slowly took
off her cloak and Draco smiled.
"Yeah, I know," said Draco. "I was in such a hurry last time because I didn't know if you would all
of a sudden change your mind and leave. And now I know that you are mine. And I didn't know when else I would have
a chance to do that."
Ginny smiled and bent down whispering, "You have another chance right now!"
He looked at her with a shocked look on his face and she suddenly blushed. "You're right. We're moving way
to fast. Why don't we just go outside or to my common room and just talk? We can get to know each other
bet…"
"NO! I mean I don't think we are moving to fast. Why don't we just go to your room and give each other a
few pecks on the cheek. We are sure to get to know each other better then."
She giggled, took his hand, and rushed him up to her dormitory room. Ginny's new wild side took Draco aback. His
eyes were huge at the thought of Ginny actually breaking the rules. Ginny was still a careful and safe girl and she was
nothing like Pansy Parkinson, who flung herself at anyone of the opposite sex. Of course, he knew that Ginny would
never let him take advantage of her and half of him told himself that he didn't really need to. But that didn't
mean he didn't want to.
Harry and Ron came into the common room with a few other Gryffindors and hung around the common room for a few minutes.
"Where did Ginny go, she has been in the bathroom for ages." Harry was concerned about her and wondered if
Malfoy had upset her in some way when she was going to the bathroom.
"I'm going to go check up in her room and see if everything is alright," said Harry
"But be careful, she may have a guy up there with here! HAHA. Wouldn't that be funny Harry?" asked
Ron.
"Yeah I guess. I'll go check"
UP IN GINNY'S DORM ROOM
Draco was kissing Ginny's neck while Ginny giggled when they heard a knock at the door. They both instantly stopped
and Ginny simply said (a little out of breath), "Who is it?"
"Ginny, it's me Harry. Are you all right? Are you alone?" A frantic tone was entering Harry's voice
at the possibility of her not being by herself.
"I'm fine Harry and I'm alone. Just wait one second and you can come in." Ginny then whispered to
Draco, "Hide underneath the bed and I tell you when it's okay to come out." Draco gave her a gentle kiss
and she forgot where she was for a moment.
"Come on in Harry! I was just getting dressed."
Harry came in slowly shielding his eyes in case she wasn't yet decent. Of course, he wouldn't mind getting a glimpse but he wanted to be a gentleman in front of the girl he desperately liked. When he finally looked at her, she looked flush and once again her lip-gloss was smeared and her hair a little or a lot out of order. And to top it off, she was wearing the same clothes as before and it was obvious she wasn't changing. Harry knew something was up.
