breakfast & glimpses

Ginny
"Gin?...Gin..." Whispered a voice that tickled her ear, and gently shook her arm ordering her to wake up. Ginny could hear a distant voice calling to her but she didn't reply, because for a second she swore that the voice that kept mumbling behind her ear belonged to-- no...it couldn't possibly be?... "Ginny!" shouted the voice who's ended up being linked to Hermione.

"What! What happened?" her eyes darting in all directions, in confusion.

"I just wanted to let you know that we're going to be late for breakfast if you don't get up now...i didn't want to leave without you i mean." Hermione spoke in her usual fast tone.

"Oh, well then that's quite alright. Thanks." Ginny smiled lightly.

"Also, it seems as you fell asleep down here in the common room and i felt poorly for waking you."

Ginny felt nothing but surprised when she couldn't remember how she had ended up there. She was indeed reminded of how exhausted she was from the night before as she stretched and nearly tumbled down clumsily. "It's fine Hermione, i'm going upstairs for a change of clothes so you go on without me." she suggested.

After a painful walk up the stairs and into the girl's dormitories and realizing she hadn't had a shower. Her aching body responding rather divert to the warm water she washed up quickly, her now furious stomach hurrying her. Ginny hungrily dressed in her school robes pondering about all of the food she was to devour.

Rushing down the stairs, out of the portrait hole and soon enough into the great hall Ginny grinned to herself as she pictured her brother Ron and his way of consuming his meals. Heading over to the Gryffindor table, stopped as she felt a rush of perplex as she unintentionally looked for someone whom she was yet oblivious to recognize. Ginny's eye was then caught by Luna waving her over to the Gryffindor table.

Besides her sat Neville, Hermione, Ron & Harry who looked up curiously at her.

"Aren't you going to sit down, Gin?" asked Harry through a mouthful of porridge.

How could somebody look so good looking whilst eating like that? her brain teased her annoyingly. For she was are that everyone knew about her ridiculous crush on him but she hated the fact that she always acted so foolish in his presence. Quite honestly, Ginny resented on being restless and gittery (which ironically was the only thing happening to her so far); around his brother and his friends. She felt minute next to them especially Harry, with all of his accomplishments against the Dark Arts and such although she was simply one year below them.

"Er—yeah—sorry." She replied awkwardly.

Neville then let out a snort of laughter as he looked around the group of friends in a questioning matter.

"Why are you apologizing to him? And why is everyone acting so odd, we all know she fancies Harry. It's not a big deal really."

There was a small silence. Neville then realizing what he had just said, looked up at now pink faced and furrowed browed Ginny in a apologetic matter. The six of them exchanged looks with each other uncomfortably and then let out a a huge burst of laughter.

Nobody knew what was so amusing of the situation but they all laughed together, so hard that they were now crying with laughter (especially Hermione) after Ron chocked on his chicken leg because of all the cheering. For a blissful moment, Ginny had forgotten all of her troubles; no Cedric thudding onto the ground, no green light flashing in response to that, no nothing. Just laughter. For the first time since Ginny's arrival things had started to look up.

Draco
Draco whom was still glued to his bed, could feel the sunlight creeping through the deep colored curtains of his four poster bed and hitting his place face. He squinted and blinked trying to repel the blinding light away from his eyes, he wanted nothing more but to stay in bed, he felt as if he could stay there forever; deep in thought about how nice the cold sheets felt against his still burning face from last night's events. He thought he could stay there pretending that he didn't have a care in the world.
