Unexpected Relationship

CHAPTER 10

*************************

Well today has been full of many things to know and tell and not all good. It started before breakfast with Ron and I.

Ron's inability to keep a secret from Harry and Hermione meant that as soon as I woke this morning, I was dragged into a meeting (intervention) with them. Their feelings about a relationship between Draco and myself were made very clear. They are totally against it. Now because of my inability to stop thinking about Draco last night, I got very little sleep, and a Ginny who gets very little sleep tends to get very grumpy. So when they decided to tell me their views on my love life, I didn't react very well. In fact their ears are possibly still ringing. Serves them right, they have no right to say anything about my love life when they can't even sort out their own.

During my sleepless night I came to the conclusion that I had to find Draco, so that we could sit down and talk. I needed to know what he was thinking. Whether or not he felt any of the same things I do. I didn't expect a declaration of love, but I had to know whether he actually liked me as a person or whether it's just tawdry teen lust.

So after the intervention I went down to breakfast and waited for him to turn up but he never did. Nor did he turn up for lunch. So after that I decided to look for him. I didn't find him straight away but I found some interesting things along the way.

I was looking out on the ground when I came across Charlie. I was about to go talk to him when I noticed he wasn't alone. I don't know how I missed her in the first place because she was sitting so close to him she was just about on his lap. I thought about interrupting them but then figured since I wasn't actually angry with Charlie I wouldn't ruin his Sunday with his girl. Now, if it had been Ron or Harry on the other hand.

The next interesting thing I saw on my journey was Lavender kissing a boy. Now you ask why was this interesting, it's not like it's a rare sight or anything, but it is when the boy in question is none other that Justin. She finally got her claws in him. I guess Hermione can stop worrying now. It really looked like he was over her.

After trudging around the castle for two hours I decided to ask someone where he was. That someone happened to be Snape.

"Professor. I was wondering if you know where Draco is at the moment. I need to speak with him about some prefect business." Well I wasn't about to tell him the truth was I?

"While I highly doubt that prefect business is what you'll be talking about when you find him, he's in the potions classroom, finishing homework he didn't finish last night for some reason. I don't suppose you'd know anything about that would you," he told me and I had the funniest feeling he knew exactly what happened last night. And that thought he knew that left me feeling very weird indeed.

So down to the dungeons I went, getting more nervous the closer I got. When I got to the door I heard his voice, he was talking to someone else. I was about to walk away and come back later because I didn't want anyone interfering this time, but I heard a female voice answer him back. I decided to see who was with him so I poked my head around the corner. And there he was, Draco, standing there, kissing another girl, and not just any girl, Tallah, Harry's crush.

I stood there watching them for a couple of seconds, not really believing my eyes, but the scene never changed. He was still kissing her and she was kissing him back. I turned and ran. Realising that for him all that was between us was just teen lust. But for me it wasn't, I had to do the stupidest thing in the world. I fell for him.

I didn't know that love could hurt this much. The vision of them together keeps running through my head. As much as I hate to say it, I should have listened to Ron. He's a Malfoy, of course he was going to hurt me.
