It's One Crazy Love Story!

Chapter 11

Any moment, everything can change.

For a minute all the world can wait.... let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling? Can u feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing and take control? Fly...open the part of you that wants to hide away...

You can shine, forget about the reasons why you can't in life and start to try, cause it's your time...time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else, find a dream you can follow, reach for something, when there's nothing left, and the world's feeling hollow.

One of my favourite muggle songs is by Hilary Duff. A girl in my dormitory listened to it and it stuck in my head.

I finally believe that it's true. Any moment, everything can change.

From that moment on, when Draco left there crying in the rain, my life changed. How can something so small change one's life you ask?

I still don't understand how, but it just did. I stood there for several hours just crying underneath the tree, for myself, for my friends and for my family. I wasn't just crying because of what had happened today, but because of the way I felt.

I stayed underneath that tree for the whole afternoon, missing all of my afternoon classes. I didn't intend on it, but I couldn't move and just stared off into the distance.

I didn't know why I felt sad about our break-up. I just felt like I had been cheated, but then I would start swearing at myself for lying to myself.

I had cheated him and the only reason why this had all happened was because of me. But I had gotten what I had wanted, hadn't I? I had humiliated him. Everyone in the school would be talking about it.

Eventually, near dark I got up and went to my common room. No one talked to me there, that is none of my friends or my brother.

Other people talked around me and I heard all the nasty things they said, but I couldn't care any less.

They called me a whore and that Malfoy was paying me to keep his bed. It hurt to be trashed like this, but I didn't say anything.

Harry, Ron and Hermione just ignored me as well as the rumours. I had told Ron that it was all fake, but he didn't say anything either way.

I just walked up to my dormitory and crashed on the bed. The flow of tears wouldn't stop, they just poured out of my eyes, until they soaked my pillow.

I was crying because I hadn't just lost all my friends, but I had lost myself as well. I had become someone else, even though I didn't want to.

During my tears, I realized that a part of me had fallen in love with Draco Malfoy in the short time we spent with each other.

He was nice to me, and he listened without judging me. Another part of me had kept a cool head and had just done what the plan told me to do.

I remembered the way he held me and the way he kissed me. I knew that I liked being with him and wished we were back together. I sighed and sleep engulfed me.

The next week was exams, so I immersed myself into my books. I wasn't seen outside of the library, except for when I had to go to classes and to the common room. I stopped eating and sleeping; I just studied and read.

The first time I saw Draco after that incident, my heart shattered into a million pieces.

I was on my way to Herbology and we passed each other in the hallway. There were other students bustling around us, who seemed oblivious to the pain I was in.

Our eyes met and I stopped in the middle of the hallway, not aware that I was doing so.

His eyes roamed over my body and then he stared into my eyes. I knew I looked like a mess, but I couldn't care. He looked just the same, like nothing had ever happened.

I was much skinnier, as my robes hung loosely around me. My hair was limp and hung in a loose ponytail. My clothes were always wrinkled and under my eyes were dark circles.

I continued walking, and we passed each other. His grey eyes seemed cool and grey. They seemed guarded and I couldn't read what was in them

But I just kept on walking, without even looking back once.

I continued studying, but was all alone while doing so.

On the second day, after our 'big break-up' I was summoned to the Headmaster's office.

I found my mother there crying her heart out. I didn't know what had happened, so I just stood there in the doorway.

She saw me and she started yelling, "I can't believe what you've done, Ginerva!"

Professor Dumbledore left us in the office and closed the door behind him. I sat down on a stool, while she raved.

"The whole world's talking about your...affair with the Malfoy boy," she sobbed. "How can you do this to us, Ginny? Your father loathed the man and this is how you remember him? By falling in love with his enemies' son?"

She didn't want a response; she just took a deep breath and continued.

"They've been our enemies for so many years and in one second, you go and destroy that!" she screamed. "Why are you just staring at me like that? Don't you have anything to say for yourself?"

I took a deep breath and said, "It was a prank, mother. To get revenge on him."

She stared at me disbelievingly, "A prank?! A prank to fall in love?"

It took about an hour, but I finally explained everything to her. She finally understood, but she was still mad. When I asked her why she was crying so much, she wouldn't tell me.

"You can't know," she snapped.

"But why?" I questioned. "I know the way they treat us, but everyone talks about this incident that happened that started it. What is it?"

She wouldn't tell me at all. "Lives would be lost," she said. "Just remember that before you go and fall in love with any more boys. The Malfoys and the Weasleys have been enemies forever and they will remain enemies."

Then she Floo-ed herself out while I sat on the stool, staring at the green flames as they sucked my mother in. I knew why she was so upset. Our whole family was gone, and if I followed the dark path then it would just be my mother and Ron. Mum just loved me and didn't want to lose me to the dark side, like she had lost Percy. How could I explain that he had changed? But I didn't want to defend him, because I had gotten what I had wanted, to humiliate him, because I didn't feel that strong love towards him, considering he had lied to me.

Professor Dumbledore entered and said softly, "She's gone, Ginny."

My head snapped up as I saw that she had left. "Sorry about that Professor."

He opened the door for me as I made my way out and said, "You best be on your way to dinner now and I am expecting you to eat tonight and not skip it."

He looked up at him to find that he was serious. So someone had realized that I wasn't eating. I just nodded and made my way to the Great Hall.

I found an empty place at the edge of the table, where there was no one around. I picked at my food and ate a bit so Professor Dumbledore would think I ate something, and then left.

I felt the stares of many and I heard the whispers of insults that followed me out.

Everyone was still talking about me and Malfoy and the stories just got uglier and uglier.

I pretended that I didn't hear them and continued studying. Finally exams came and I felt that I did really well, considering all the studying I did.

People still talked about me, because I would always be seen alone. Padma, Sam and Luna didn't talk to me since that incident and I didn't make any effort to apologise to them. Harry, Rona and Hermione ignored me, feeling that I had betrayed their trust.
