My Little Secret (Ginny Weasley x Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 16

The moment I got home, I ran to my bedroom to unpack. I can't stand having a messy trunk in my bedroom, even for just one night. I walk into my bedroom, the smallest room in the house aside from the bathroom, and start putting my school things away. My room is a tiny, cramped little space. The walls are painted a dark forest green, I have a small bed with a wooden frame and patchwork sheets in the far left corner, a large window above it, and a nightstand to the left of the bed. There is a small dresser on the other side of the room, full of my clothes, and a bookshelf holding books with information on just about anything next to it. There is a small lamp on the bedside table that is the same color as my walls. Shelves hand up to the ceiling, holding things that are special to me. I love the room. 

As Im putting my clothes away, I wonder what kind of messages me and Draco are going to send to each other over the summer. The possibilities are endless!  

After about an hour and a quarter later, all of my robes, spellbooks, and other junk I had in my trunk were put away, I sat on my bed and gazed out of my window, thinking about the year and wondering how it went by so fast. 

After sitting there for a few minutes, I hear Mum yell "DINNER TIME!!!" from the bottom of the stairs. 

Fred and George race down the stairs, clearly trying to be the first ones to get food.  Shortly after, Ron comes running down too, passing my door with such speed that my hair blows in the wind. I slowly descend the stairs after them, trying not to look like a wild animal. 

When I get into the kitchen, I see Dad, George, Fred, and Ron sitting at the dinner table, all with large slices of Shepherd's Pie in front of them, Mum was just putting a piece on a plate for me. I sat down next to Ron, and Mum set the plate in front of me. Then Mum serves herself, sits down next to Dad, and then George, Fred, and Ron start stuffing himself. Right before I was about to put a bit of food in my mouth, I heard a noise from the stairs and saw Percy coming down the stairs, still looking businesslike. 

He gets his plate sits down at the head of the table and starts eating as though nothing is different. I go back to eating the mediocre pie when Ron makes my worst nightmare come true. 

He looks over at me with a sneer and says,

"So, Gin, what was that note you didn't want me to see?" He says cheekily

I blush, George and Fred look at me as if Im about to be their next meal. 

"I have no clue what you're talking about," I say, with what I hope was a calm and confident voice.

No, No, No, this cannot be happening. Im starting to panic

"If I was smart enough, I would think Ginny's got an admirer," said George. 

I blush and thankfully, Mum comes to the rescue

"Now boys, leave your sister alone" 

Relief flooded me as at least my mum understood. I give her a look that I hope came across as thank you. Ron gives me a side eye, He was not going to give up that easily. 

The rest of dinner was small talk between the family like "How was your year" and "What class was your favorite?"

After dinner, I went up to my bedroom so that my brothers could not bully me into telling them what that note was. I throw my nightdress on, which happens to be the one I was wearing when me and Draco spent time in the room of requirement. Just the memory makes me happy and then sad that I will have to wait all summer to see him again. 

I lay in bed, reading a Muggle book. Unlike the rest of my siblings, I find Muggle things very interesting. Especially books. I pulled out one called "Twilight" and read the description.
