Dedicated- to all my lovely reviewers! And also I know that I'm putting out these chapters a little quickly but wtvr- I hope you enjoy them a lot! Thanks for those of you who told me it was Ginevra!
It was two weeks away from the Christmas ball and Ginny and Draco were not even talking civilly to each other.
Ginny walked in to the room of requirements for her lesson with Sirius, Draco and Harry were already there.
"You have realized Weasley that we always have to wait for you can't you move any quicker?" he asked her.
Ginny just glared at him "I'm here Professor" she said.
"Obviously" Draco answered for him.
"Shut up Malfoy" Harry said his voice tainted with a hint of annoyance.
"Go soak your head Potter" Malfoy said back.
"That's enough" said Sirius we didn't come here to fight with each other."
"Now that I have got your attention I would like to know if any of you know the spell in defense."
"Expeliarmas" Said Draco casually.
"No" said Ginny "he's not talking about that he's talking about Difesa Schermo (Italian it means defensive shield). It puts a shield around you and whoever you're touching at that moment." Ginny said.
"Very good Ms. Weasley" Sirius said very much impressed "can you show us how it works" he asked.
"I could try" she replied. "Difesa Schermo" she cried. The magic flew out of her wand and made a silver bubble around her protecting her from harm.
"Very good Ms. Weasley" said Sirius.
"Boys it's your turn" he told them.
"Difesa Schermo" Draco drawled and a silver bubble wrapped around him, the same thing happened with Harry.
"That wasn't so hard" Draco said.
"Your next lesson will be, though" Sirius replied "come back tomorrow same time, class dismissed."
Draco walked out and so did Ginny Harry however stayed back to talk to his godfather like he did after every lesson.
"Malfoy" Ginny called.
"What do you want Weaslette?" he asked her.
"Malfoy, I think that we should start talking civilly to each other because if you're my date for the ball then well we have to talk."
"Fine" he snapped "are you happy, we'll talk civilly."
"I'm not joking Malfoy!" she said exasperatedly
"Fine Weasel!" he said.
She looked at him "My name is Ginevra, or Ginny, choose one!" she cried.
"Fine Ginevra" he said "if you want to talk so badly go to the astronomy tower tonight at midnight, happy?" he asked.
"Yes very, thank you." She said. But it didn't matter because he was already gone.
Ginny sighed and went to her next class, a history of magic; she sat down and got ready to sleep.
"Hello class" came the ghostly voice of Professor Binns. "Today we will be learning about prophecies."
Ginny's head snapped up.
"One of the most famous prophecies is the prophecy of Delia. Many know the prophecy but none actually know who Delia is. Delia was a woman with a strong spirit and a beautiful face. She had flame red hair and deep brown eyes. When Delia told people about the prophecy they all thought her to be insane and so they locked her up in a jail cell saying that she would never be let out again. Her lover decided one day that he would rescue her, and so he did, and they ran away. Delia is known for not only her prophecy but for her ability to change into any animal and for her ability to communicate with them. There are very few who have the rare ability to talk to animals but when they come of age (17) they will know, it will not happen before that time." Said professor Binns.
Ginny stared at him and realized something that she Ginevra Weasley was related to Delia, they looked exactly the same, it wasn't much proof but she could feel it in her heart.
The bell rang
Ginny bolted out of her seat and raced to the library she ran into the books on prophecies and found the ones of Delia. She opened the book and flipped thru the pages until she found a picture. Ginny gasped and dropped the book. She could have been Delia twin, they looked exactly alike. Ginny started to read about her. She read exactly the same thing as Binns did; she got up and looked for more books on the prophecy but she couldn't find anymore books on it. Ginny sighed and walked out of the library and into potions and took a seat next to Natalie.
"I'm so exited!" Natalie whispered to Ginny
"For what?"
"The ball, silly! Who isn't?"
"But aren't you going with Blaise?" Ginny asked.
"That would be why I'm exited!" Natalie answered.
"Ms. Weasley and Ms. Kahn this is not a talking session detention with me tomorrow nigh at eight p.m., now if I may continue with my lesson."
Ginny tuned out for the rest of class her mind on what she was going to talk to Malfoy about tonight.
The bell rang and the students made their way to the Great Hall for dinner.
Ginny sat down and piled some roast onto her plate. She looked across the hall searching for Draco, when she did see him he looked up at her, met her gaze and smirked causing her to blush and look down at her plate. She didn't look up until the end of the meal and when she did Draco wasn't in the Great Hall. She got up and went to the common room waiting until it was 5 minutes before twelve. She got up and quietly snuck out of the portrait hole. She got there at exactly twelve, no one was there, so she decided to sit down and wait. 15 minutes went by and just as she was standing up to leave Malfoy walked in.
"Your late" she said.
"Your perceptive" he answered back sneering.
"Whatever" she said "since we're going to the ball thing the least we could do is talk civilly to each other as I said before and um maybe get to know each other I guess."
Draco looked her up and down his eyes lingering a little on her breasts; he decided she wasn't so bad looking, for a Weasley.
"What do you want to know Weasley?"
And that's how it started, it wasn't exactly a friendship, but more of that they were acquaintances they would talk here and there in the halls but only when people weren't looking, and he didn't torture Ginny anymore which was a plus.
It was Christmas Eve the night of the ball and every student was getting ready. Ginny had no clue what to do with her hair.
"Gin, just leave it down" Natalie said.
Natalie looked at Ginny's hair and sighed, it was beautiful it was fiery red, and had little ringlets in it, so when she moved it, it really looked like fire.
"Fine" Ginny huffed.
Why am I Nervous? She thought to herself. I mean it's just Malfoy, it's not like you like him or anything she scolded.
Or do you? Said another part of her head.
Ginny shook her head to clear it and took a deep breath. She picked up her dress and put it on; she left her hair down as Natalie said. She put on eyeliner and a little mascara, and lip gloss; she didn't bother with anything else.
Ginny personally didn't think she looked that pretty but Natalie apparently did, because when she saw Ginny she let out a gasp.
"Gin…you're gorgeous" she whispered.
Ginny smiled "Thanks, you are too" she answered. Ginny wasn't lying Natalie didn't think so but she was beautiful. She had straight blonde hair and dark blue eyes, with tan skin, she looked like a model.
They went down to the common room arms linked. They walked out of the portrait hole getting ready to meet their dates.
Neither of the boys were there so they waited at the entrance.
Blaise came first and swept Natalie into the ballroom.
Draco came a couple minutes later, he looked Ginny up and down he was still out of sight for her. She looked beautiful, amazing even, he shook his head. She's still a Weasley he kept repeating to himself. He walked towards her.
"You ready?" he drawled.
"Yes" she answered.
He held out his arm, and she took it. They walked in. If you asked anyone who the most beautiful couple at the ball was they would have said Draco, and Ginny, they looked radiant as if the gods and goddesses decided to make beauty into two people, that is what it would have come out like.
The music started, Ginny knew not to expect a dance from him but she couldn't help but wish.
Draco sighed silently "Do you want to dance?" he asked her lazily, just because they weren't friends doesn't mean he wasn't a gentleman.
Ginny nodded her head "I'd like that"
Ginny also didn't expect to have a good time, but she did. The ball was coming to a close when Dumbledore got up on the microphone.
"Just like in muggle proms there are a king and queen, we also have a king and queen, who will share this next dance. The king and queen are Draco Malfoy and Ginevra Weasley."
Nobody was surprised except for Ron, but Hermione and Harry stopped him from jumping on Draco.
And that was it; as soon as the ball began it was over. Ginny had an amazing night. She and Draco didn't really talk, they just danced, but she didn't mind. As they were leaving the Great Hall he smirked and lent his head close to Ginny's they're lips almost touching, she closed her eyes. He smirked.
"Good night Weasley" he said and left her standing there.
Ginny opened her eyes and sighed, oh well she said, I had a nice night anyway and went to Gryffindor tower.
Falling asleep the second her head hit the pillow.
