A Realistic D/G Fic
Seamus Finnigan stomped over to the two girls, his angry glare and stance effectively releasing Ginny from Dawn's choking grasp.
"WHO said they didn't like me?" Seamus half-snarled, half-demanded, his usually genial expression fled in the face of anger.
Dawn pointed at Ginny.
Ginny pointed at Dawn.
"She did," they both said at the same time.
Seamus glared at the two girls. They both came down with a sudden case of the shivers. Being confronted by an angry sixth-year boy was certainly not conducive to one's health. Ginny's eyes were as wide as pepperonis, her mouth was trembling, and her face was chalk-white. And she looked healthy next to Dawn.
Seamus's smile came back.
"Geez, calm down will you? You act as if I was your mum come to tell you that you were going to Muggle School," Seamus said. Only half of it was a joke.
They relaxed.
"But, seriously. Who said they didn't like me?" Seamus said in a devil-may-care tone.
"Well, I did," Dawn said, relaxing and starting to smile. She stiffened again as Seamus advanced toward her. He paused in front of her, looked towards the Gryffindor table, and then kissed her. Dawn's eyes were still open and were darting frantically to and fro. Her mouth would have been a perfect 'o' of surprise if it weren't occupied. Ginny gasped, then Seamus pulled away from Dawn, grinning.
"I bet you can't say you don't like me now!" Seamus said impishly. She seemed to still be stunned- she didn't move, she didn't say anything either.
"Hey, it wasn't THAT bad, was it?" Seamus asked a little nervously.
"Don't worry," Ginny assured Seamus, having detected his worry. "She's never been kissed before."
"Have you?" Seamus asked, his eyes glittering with mischief
"No, and I don't intend to any time soon," Ginny said defiantly.
"Aww… you positive?" Seamus asked in what MIGHT have been a disappointed voice. "Oh, well, there's plenty more fish in the sea, as they say."
After a pause, Seamus commented, "You know, that's kind of unusual." Seamus commented.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Well… most girls your age either ARE kissed or WANT to be kissed." Seamus said adding quickly, "No offense."
"Yeah, well, I don't want to be kissed until my one true love kisses me," Ginny said dreamily.
"Who… Harry?"
"No, Draco Malfoy. Who do you think?" Ginny said sarcastically.
"Sorry, reflex." They both glanced at Dawn.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" Seamus asked, a definite note of anxiety in his voice.
"Who?" Draco Malfoy was standing there, looking the entire world as if HE had started the conversation and SEAMUS intruded into it.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Seamus asked angrily.
"The same as you, talking," Draco answered.
"Fine, WHY are you here?" Seamus said, exasperated.
"I heard my name, and felt like a compliment before my breakfast," Draco replied, apparently stating the obvious.
"Yeah, well, you won't be hearing any today!" Ginny said, snickering derisively. (she still remembered when he had embarrassed her right in front of Her Beloved) "Or any day for that matter," Ginny added.
Draco coolly ignored her, and nodding to Dawn, asked, "What happened to her?"
"I really don't know! All I did was kiss her and--" Seamus was interrupted by Draco.
"Ahh! I see you KISSED her; the Kiss of Death! A few pointers to get the ladies, Finnigan, brush your teeth more than once a week!" And Draco collapsed, laughing, completely bowled over by his own ingenuity.
Ginny thought she had detected a note of…concern. But she just gave that to her stressed state of mind.
"Practice what you preach," Seamus replied just as coolly. Turning to Ginny, he said, "Go get Professor McGonagall. I think there's something seriously wrong with her." Ginny nodded and hastened off to find McGonagall.
"Of course there's something seriously wrong with her… YOU kissed HER!" Draco quipped.
"Hardy har har. Not funny," Seamus said.
"Whatever you say, Finnigan."
Professor McGonagall and Ginny found Seamus and Draco glaring at each other, each fingering their wands.
"Alright, alright, what is going on here?" she asked briskly, drawing her wand out.
"I already told you Professor McGonagall. Seamus kissed Dawn and then she became like… that," Ginny said, pointing at Dawn.
"I didn't mean that, silly girl, I meant that." The professor didn't even bother with pointing.
o_0 "Erm, right, that," Ginny said, obviously confused.
"Now then, let me see…" the professor poked and prodded Dawn. No reaction. She pulled both of Dawn's ears. She shook her back and forth. "Aha!" she said, straightening up from trying to tickle the soles of Dawn's feet. "The solution is obvious… to the infirmary!" She snapped her fingers, muttered a spell, and a cot came zooming through the hallway. A student saw this cot and began to sing about a flying cot. It stopped at McGonagall's feet with a sound akin to screeching brakes. "Ahem." Professor McGonagall said meaningfully. (Yes, she is actually talking to a cot.) The cot went a little more, bumping into Dawn's knees and forcing her to lie down on it. "Mr. Malfoy, come with me." Professor McGonagall said, starting towards the infirmary. Draco followed.
"Oooh, Malfoy's going to get it!" Ginny said gleefully.
"Yeah, isn't life grand? Dawn is going to be fine now that's she's going to the infirmary," Seamus said cheerfully. "Say, how about you sit with me? You might see Harry," Seamus said.
"Of course!" Ginny said brightly.

"Ahh, I understand." Professor McGonagall nodded understandingly.
"I just can't believe the sheer stupidity of that Finnigan!" Draco said, his voice the only outward sign of anger. "I just want to kill him! How dare he kiss Dawn! The audacity of that guy! Hmmm... I have a handy spell to kill him in fact. Yes! I will kill him!" Draco said excitedly.
"No you won't," Professor McGonagall said placidly.
"Yes I will," Draco said confidently.
"No you won't."
"Yes I will."
"No you won't."
"Yes I will."
"Uh-uh." As they changed their way of argument, a caterwauling student passed them in the corridor.
"Uh-huh."
"Uh-uh."
"Uh-huh."
"NUH-uh!" Professor McGonagall was now very exasperated.
"YUH-huh!" was what Draco was about to say, but instead, he queried, "Why not?"
Pleased at the now-dignified conversation, she answered pleasantly, "Because it is against both wizarding and Muggle law. I would hope that you would wait until after you've graduated to go to jail. You have plenty of time," Professor McGonagall said the last couple of sentences complacently.
They (and Dawn) finally arrived at the infirmary door.
"I trust you will keep what I told you in your strictest confidences." Draco said.
