Striding down the hallways on Friday evening, she let out a labored breath. It had been a trying week. Between avoiding the hexes from Slytherins, detention with McGonagall and trying to break the death grip from the two boys, she had nearly no time to herself.
Stepping out of the castle, Ginny sucked in the cold air of the evening and headed to the Quidditch pitch. With her broom in hand, she quickly straddled it and took off.
After the first few circles, she slowed, leaning down to lay on her broom. Her hand trailed on the ground as she drifted along, thoughts coursing through her mind.
She should still have been furious at Draco for what he said about Neville and Hermione…so why was she feeling so guilty about it?
The prick deserved it. Her mind told her.
“But still…” she murmured. “Maybe I shouldn’t have hit him so hard…”
“I should say so. This damned thing won’t be coming out for at least another week.” Muttered a voice.
Ginny toppled off her broom, landing on the ground with a grunt.
Grumbling, she picked herself up to meet the cold, gray eyes of Draco Malfoy.
“You will excuse if I don’t ask if you’re okay.” He muttered without emotion.
“And you will excuse me if I’m pondering ways to kill you in your sleep.” She snapped back.
“You better watch what you say to a Prefect.” He hissed.
“I don’t give a fuck what I say to you.” She retorted.
“Why are you such a bitch?” he growled.
“Why are you such a prat?” she responded.
The blonde’s eyes narrowed, making him wince, but then he smirked.
“It’s in my blood to be a prat.” He commented.
“I should say so. It comes so naturally in conversation.” Ginny snapped.
“Why are you making this so difficult?” Draco huffed.
“Why are you so thick?” she retorted.
“Are you going to answer all my questions with a question?” he growled. “Why can’t we just have a decent conversation?”
“I didn’t know such a thing was possible.” Ginny sneered at him.
“Bloody hell!” he exclaimed, taking a few steps, then returning to face her. “Damnit, Red! You are making this extremely difficult for me!”
“Well, excuse me, Malfoy if I think you've had it easy enough for a half the students at this school.” She hissed.
Draco growled loudly in his throat, pacing on one spot.
“Fucking Christ, I’m trying to apologize here!” he snarled suddenly.
This brought Ginny to a complete silence and once he saw she was speechless, he took the advantage.
“Look, I’m sorry about the entire thing with Longbottom. I shouldn’t have done what I did. And, I suppose I should apologize that Granger's a Mudblood.” He muttered.
The red head felt her temper flare up when he caught himself.
"I mean, calling her a Mudblood." he mended.
Ginny eyed him suspiciously.
“I suppose I should apologize for giving you that black eye.” She murmured. “I didn’t think I could hit so hard.”
“Yes, well, it’s obvious you can.” Draco muttered, reaching up to touch his face.
Ginny gave him a small smile, her eyes observing his face. He had a kind of angelic beauty about him. A fallen angel, perhaps…but still…
"Very well. Apology accepted. Goodnight Malfoy." she commented, grabbing her broom off the ground.
"Wait!" he suddenly said. "Come to dinner with me. To make up what I did to you...and Longbottom."
Ginny simple stared, her brain barely comprehending what he just proposed.
"You're asking me to go to dinner with you to make up to Neville what you did to him?" she asked incredulously. "Well, if that's not one of the most idiotic--and I'm a Weasley. Fred and George are my brothers and I think what you just said makes them seem like geniuses!"
Draco shrugged, even admitting to himself that it sounded a bit ridiculous.
"Fair enough. But come to dinner with me anyway. This next Hogesmeade trip. I won't do anything...bad." he commented.
The red-head continued to stare. Just why did look so sincere?
"We'll see, Malfoy." she finally stated. "Goodnight."
The blonde watched her go, confused out of his mind.
What had he just done?
