Her - A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction

Chapter 38: Gone (6th Year)

"And we still don't know what Draco's doing for him." Ron scoffed one afternoon in the three broom sticks 

In the last few weeks, Draco had been blatantly avoiding me. At first I though maybe it was because I said we were going too fast, but something told me that wasn't the real reason. "We know he's doing something in the Room of Requirements." I shrugged, I still hadn't told them what I knew.

"I've tried everything, I can't get in." Harry mumbled, as Hermione rolled her eyes. "It won't open, I don't know why you bothered." She sighed. "Hey look, there's Ginny and Dean, they don't look too happy." I pointed out, stealing a quick glance of Harry to read his reaction.

"Ginny! Over here." I waved her and Dean over as they took their seats. Dean slid his chair closer to Ginny, but she subtly moved away from him, though Dean didn't seem to notice.

She looked up at me and with her eyes begged for my help. "Right, well Ginny and I were going to go buy easter presents, er.. Privately." I added, noticing Dean preparing to rise from his seat. "We'll see you all later." Ginny smiled, following me outside.

"I don't know why you don't just get it over and done with." I giggled as we entered the warm, floral street, decorated with brightly coloured flowers. "I just want an actual reason, so he doesn't feel so bad. Breaking it off because he's clingy will make me look like a bitch." She explained, glumly.

"You'll find one soon enough." I assured her as we entered a small bookstore. "Mira, I don't want to buy easter presents, what do we do now?" Ginny laughed, realising the awkwardness of our situation. Perhaps my excuse for leaving wasn't such a brilliant idea after all.

"Bella." A sweet voice called from behind us as a blonde Ravenclaw entered the store, skipping over to us. "Look." She held her cupped hands out, showing us the flowers she had collected. "Hi Luna." I smiled, picking up one of the flowers and tucking it behind her ear.

"And you." I picked up a red flower, sticking it behind Ginnys fiery red locks. "Pretty." They both smiled, as we exited the store, deciding on wandering the streets of Hogsmeade before we had to return to school.

"Is Draco still ignoring you?" Luna asked suddenly. "Yes." I pouted. "And Olivers lost interest?" Ginny asked, sympathetically. "Yup.. Draco does sort of talk to me in Potions though, but it's only because of the assigned seating." I rolled my eyes. "What does he say?"

"You're cutting it wrong, It's anti-clockwise not clockwise, just let me do it, ect." I laughed, I guess they don't really count. "Well, better than nothing." Ginny chuckled. "Should we head back now?"

"Sure." We began our journey back to Hogwarts, talking about horcruxes and Dean. "Speaking of." I grinned, nudging Ginny as we neared the Gryffindor common room. "Ginny." Dean smiled as he noticed us, wandering over to where we stood.

"Hello." Ginny smiled weakly as we approached the portrait hole. "Here." Dean attempted to help Ginny through the entrance, which obviously pushed Ginny over the edge. She was still quite heated from her rant, not 5 minutes earlier.

"My god, Dean, I can get through the fucking portrait hole without your help. You're so clingy." She stormed past him, huffing and puffing all the way out of sight as Dean stood there in confusion. "I feel bad for him now." I told Luna as we headed for my common room.

"Bye." I waved Luna goodbye as we reached the marble staircase, departing ways. I had just turned around to head for the common room when I collided with a familiar head of messy brown hair. "Harry?" I pulled myself up from the floor that I had fallen upon.

"Mirabelle, Draco's in Myrtles bathroom with her." He panted, grabbing my wrists and dragging me with him. "Harry.. I don't know." I looked around, anxiously. "You wait outside, make sure no one comes in." He entered the bathroom, not allowing me to express my concern. I stared at the door, debating whether I dared enter. "I'd better not." I sighed, leaning against the wall.
