AN: Look who's back!
"Harry!" Ginny shrieked in horror. "No, Harry! Stop!"'
But he didn't. Harry just threw a second spell at Draco's prone form barely seeing or hearing her. If she'd brought her wand with her today she'd be throwing some hexes at him!
After trying to stop him nicely, she threw herself at him, surprising him, and tried to wrestle his wand out of his grip. Elbowing and kicking, both trying to gain possession of the offending wand… And then Hermione and Ron showed up.
"Harry!"
"Ginny!"
"Malfoy?"
Finally, Hermione accioed Harry's wand and screeched "WHAT'S GOING ON!?"
Both began screaming and yelling and explaining at once. Then turned to each other, and began contradicting the others' story. Then, using all the strength she possessed, Ginny pushed Harry onto the ground, bellowing "I don't have time for this! I've got to get Draco to the medical bay!"
"Draco," Harry mocked from the ground, "deserves what he got!" He quickly picked himself off the floor and turned to his best mates. "I found him forcing himself on Ginny in this dark ally that he probably dragged her to!"
Ginny didn't remember how she got over to Harry so fast, she had no idea how her hand swung back without being told, but she did remember the delicious feel of her palm making sound contact with Potheads face, and the beautiful SLAP! that filled the alleyway.
"Don't you DARE blame all this on Draco! In fact, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have even wanted me, would you Harry! You BASTARD!"
"What are you talking about?" Ron yelled, unsure of if he needed to back Harry up or punch Harry himself.
Ginny ignored her brother, all her attention focused on the boy in front of her. "Well, Harry," she said, her voice deadly calm, "we can't all be just like Cho."
Harry went white. Hermione went white. Ron looked completely lost.
"Cho? What does she have to do with this?" Ron asked, as Harry struggled to speak.
"Ask your best mate," Ginny spat out, "or your girlfriend." Then she walked over the Hermione grabbed the wand out of her lax fingers and walked over to Draco. Carefully, she levitated his body and left the Golden Trio standing stock-still in a dark alley.
--
It was past midnight when Ginny snuck into the med bay. It wasn't hard to find Draco, because there was only one bed that was occupied and had the curtains drawn. The light in Madame Pomfry's room was dark, so she was probably asleep.
Walking quietly towards Draco's temporary bed, she pulled the curtains and sat in the chair next to the bed, sighing. His face looked fine, so that should please him, but his chest was shirtless, revealing a large bandage. "What a mess…"
"If you're going to talk to someone, Weaselette, you might as well talk to me since I'm not going to get any sleep anyways." Ginny jumped, startled, and then her face flushed with color.
"Oh, I thought you were asleep."
"Hmm." He didn't seem too interested in following that line of conversation, instead eyeing her up and down, taking in her baggy pj pants, a hand-me down shirt that had belonged to Charlie, and her red curls falling down her back. Her blush grew brighter.
"So, how bad are you?" She asked, gesturing to the bandage. But Draco just snorted.
"Broke one rib when I hit the wall, and I had to drink that vile poison Pomfry insisted on shoving down my throat." Ginny bit her lip.
"I'm sorry." He just looked at her, his expression searching, not saying anything. He was making her self-conscious.
"I didn't like you kissing Potter. Not only was it just bloody sad to watch, but you could do better."
Ginny mulled over how she was supposed to respond to that. "Alright, no Harry, then. Maybe I'll try throwing myself at Dean, and see how that works out."
Draco shook his head.
Ginny crossed her arms in annoyance. "I can kiss whoever I want, you know. It's not like I have a boyfriend."
"Speaking of which…" Draco didn't retaliate like she thought he would, instead he seemed too be trying to force something out. Her curiosity piqued, Ginny looked at him with her eyebrows raised.
"Yes?" This earned her a glare, before he laid back down closing his eyes and said what was on his mind.
"I was thinking maybe we should try to do things like normal people for once."
Ginny understood immediately, but just to be sure, she stood up and leaned over him. "You mean, go on a date?"
He actually looked uncomfortable. But he opened his eyes and looked at her with his eyes looking like liquid silver, alive and burning. He brought his face closer to hers, attempting to reach her lips but she pulled back. He groaned in frustration.
"Draco, did you just ask me on a date?" Her face lit up with a smile so bright it almost hurt.
He sighed. "Yes. Yes, I meant a date."
Ginny laughed happily. "Alright then, I accept." And then she lowered her face to his and gently brushed her lips across his twice. She shivered as the shockwaves made their way through her body and pulled away with a mischievous smile.
"But just so you know," she leaned down and whispered softly in his ear, right before laughing and taking off running for her dorm, "I don't kiss on the first date!"
AN: It's DONE! I can't believe I actually finished a chapter story! I never thought this day would come! Sorry about the long wait for the last chapter.
