Chapter 1 – Esoteric Chamber

Flashback (Almost 2 years ago)

Draco and Ginny were in the room they liked to call the "Esoteric Chamber" that they had discovered just a few months ago. This room was much like the Room of Requirement because they were able to ask anything they wanted and they were given what they desired. It needed a few renovations here and there but that was no problem for Ginny and Draco, seeing as they were smart and in fact, top in their classes. Ginny being the top brightest girl in all her 6th year classes and Draco as well in his 7th year classes finally defeating Hermione Granger. They liked to call it the "Esoteric Chamber" because it was the room that was to only obey Draco and Ginny and no one else. Therefore making it mysterious.

The two friends were chatting and laughing as best friends do. YES, Draco and Ginny are best friends and they have been for quite a while now. What were they laughing and talking about you ask? Well, they were just reminiscing back to the time when the Weasleys had found out the hidden friendship of Draco and Ginny. Saying that they didn't take it well was an understatement because just by the looks the twins and Ron were directing at Draco, they could have killed him on the spot. Although on the plus side, Bill and Charlie accepted him with open arms with the reason being that they wanted to get to know the real Draco and past his family background. Molly too had no problem with him being friends with Ginny because well, she was Molly. She was a cheerful, plump woman who accepted Draco as she accepted Harry and Hermione into the family. So with Molly's convincing, she was able to get Arthur to be civil to the boy and at the same time tell the twins and Ron off about not laying a hand on Draco.

"I remember he asked me if I was put under the Imperius Curse or something. He made me so angry that I couldn't help myself when I said that…" Ginny trailed off, blushing a bit.

"What did you say?" Draco questioned. A perfectly shaped eyebrow rose up.

"I-I said that you and I were secretly dating behind his back and that we were shagging non-stop while screaming each other's name in ecstasy. " Ginny shrugged, while taking a bite of her Chocolate Rocky Road Ice Scream and placing her legs on Draco's lap.

Draco smirked. "That could be arranged, if you know what I mean…" raising his eyebrows suggestively while gently caressing Ginny's leg.

Ginny giggled and replied, "Oh get over yourself Malfoy!" slapping his hands off of her legs.

Draco clutched his chest where his heart would be and said in a fake but hurt voice, "Oh you wound me so, Ginny-bean! After all we've been through, you still call me by my surname - " He was cut short of his little speech when Ginny threw a pillow, landing well on his face. His once perfectly combed hair was tousled and went in different directions at the impact of the pillow. Draco growled at Ginny.

"Oh, did I mess up Drakey-poo's IMMACULATE hair?" Ginny said innocently, eyes wide with her hand over her opened mouth.

Draco sneered and got off of the couch, swinging Ginny's leg off none too gently. He went straight to the loo to fix his hair once again. Ginny raised an eyebrow. 'What got stuck up his arse and died?' she thought.

Ginny stood up, placed her leftover ice scream on the table and followed Draco to the washroom. "Is there something wrong Draco?" Ginny asked cautiously.

"Is there something wrong? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG! You messed up my hair! That's what's wrong! You know how long it took me to fix it this morning?" Draco yelled. Ginny thought he muttered something like 'girls' and 'no good' under his breath but then again, maybe she was just hearing things.

"But Draco I always - "

"Exactly you always do it and it bloody well pisses me off!"

"But you never complained before…" Ginny whispered. "I have a feeling there is something else that is bothering you. What is it Draco? You can tell me."

"Well your feeling is wrong. I've got nothing to tell you." Draco barked out in his cold voice.

"Draco… I'm sowwy about your hair. I pwomise I will never do it again. " Ginny said in her baby-ish voice which always got to Draco. She started fidgeting with her hands and her eyes were all watery, tears threatening to fall.

Draco sighed, looking at Ginny's reflection on the mirror. He felt a slight pinch at his heart and calmed himself down before turning fully to Ginny.

"It's okay Gin, it can get fixed. Just stop crying okay? I'm sorry for snapping at you like that." Draco said cupping her face in his hands. Ginny was the only person in his entire lifetime who ever heard an apology coming out of his lips. He never cared about anyone else like he did for Ginny so he never bothered to apologize to anyone else. Draco knew that he was a sucker for Ginny's baby act. What with the entire baby voice and that cute pout in her mouth and large doughy eyes staring up at him, how could he resist?

Ginny gave a small smile at Draco and hugged him tightly by his waist. Draco returned the favour and hugged her as well. Once they let go of each other, Ginny asked him again if he had a problem Draco wanted to talk about and by the look on his face, Ginny guessed that she was right. She took his hand and squeezed it, while leading them back to the couch.

"Come on Draco, you know you can tell me anything and you won't have to worry about anyone else finding out because my lips are closed," Ginny smiled, placing her index and thumb together to cross an invisible zipper across her mouth.

Draco chuckled, "Ginny, you're my best friend, and I know you won't tell anyone because I trust you. But what I am about to tell you now is really important and absolutely no one knows about this. I'm telling you because I feel that our friendship is strong and deep enough for me to be able to trust you with this information. I wanted so badly to tell you this before but I thought that it wasn't the right time yet. "

Ginny nodded, understanding full well, or so she thought. "I'm all ears Draco…" She whispered. Draco let go of her hands and ran a hand through his hair. "Ginny you see, there's this girl…" Ginny frowned up at Draco and nodded slightly. "That I love very much, with all my heart," Draco stopped, letting the information he just said sink in, in Ginny's mind.

'Does he have a girlfriend that I don't know about? Is she the one that he always visits every weekend? Is that why he doesn't let me come with him?' she thought, so many questions filling her mind. Her heart ached after realization hit her. 'But so what if he has a girlfriend? I'm his best friend and that's final, nothing more.' She thought sadly. 'So why does it hurt so much?' she asked herself. A voice lingered in her head, replying 'Because you love him… more than a friend.' This confused Ginny greatly but realized that the voice was right; she had fallen for her best friend.

Ginny averted her attention to anything around her, just to avoid Draco's eyes. "So, whose your girlfriend?" she whispered in a hurt voice. Draco lifted his eyebrow and replied "Ginny, you have to let me finish - "

"There is nothing for you to explain left! I got it; I put the pieces of the puzzle together. Your girlfriend is the one you have been visiting every weekend and that is the reason why you don't ever want me to come with y-you…" Ginny cut in, her voice breaking. She stood up and walked over to the window. "But I just have one question: Why did you only tell me now? I thought we were best friends and that we would tell each other anything. We promised that to one another! But I guess promises are just made to be broken…" Ginny said, her voice getting louder as each word was said.

Tears were falling freely down her cheeks now and she made a turn and ran for the door. Unfortunately for her, Draco caught her arm.

"Ginny let me finish my explanation! Jeez, you're over-reacting over nothing!" Draco gritted his teeth and placed a cold hand on her arm, tightening his fingers around it so that she won't be able to escape.

"Over-reacting? OVER-REACTING? How do you expect me to react when you - "

"GINNY WILL YOU JUST SHUT YOUR TRAP AND LISTEN!" Draco yelled, getting impatient. "IM GETTING A BLOODY HEADACHE WITH YOUR INCESSANT BICKERING!"

Ginny jumped back from him slightly, as far as she could get with his hand still on her arm. She winced as she felt pain seizing her arm. Draco saw this and immediately let go. Ginny cradled her arm to her chest and looked up at Draco with sadness and anger in her eyes. She had never seen Draco been so mad before and now that she has seen so for herself, she decided it wasn't a pretty sight. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand carelessly, but a new fresh batch of tears came rolling down once again.

Draco stood there breathing deeply, in and out, trying to calm down. Once he was sure he was calm again, he took a step forward, towards Ginny but with each step he took, she took a step backwards. On and on they went like this till she backed up against the wall with nowhere to go. She turned her head to the side stubbornly and avoided Draco's eyes as much as she could in this situation. Draco smirked, and placed his index finger under her chin and titled her head so that he could see her eyes and vice versa.

"I know you too well Ginny, and I suspected that you would react this way, which is why I didn't tell you just yet."

"What made you think that it's the right time now?" Ginny whispered.

Draco clucked his tongue. "Clearly you weren't listening to what I said earlier so I'll just repeat what I said. I thought it would be the perfect time to tell you now because I thought we were good enough friends to the point that I was able to fully confide in you. Besides, I thought you would be happy for me and happy for yourself to be the first person to be given pleasure as to meet such an important person in my life. I think its time I told someone and who would I rather tell then you?" Draco smirked, thinking that what he said would have calmed down the redhead. Unfortunately for him, it was the exact opposite.

"Happy? How could I be happy when the guy who I have fallen for seems to love someone else that is his girlfriend who he seems to be seeing behind my back?" Ginny clamped a hand over her mouth, shaking her head. Draco stood, taken aback Ginny eyed him one last time before finally escaping off the wall and rushed out quickly, leaving Draco stunned and remained looking at the wall. After a few minutes of having a staring contest with the wall (he lost of course), he ran after Ginny as the words sunk into him. He found her crouched down under a tree right beside the lake. Her face was buried in her arms as she sobbed, her body shaking violently.

"Ginny…" Draco whispered, sitting down beside her. Ginny gasped and looked up, her bloodshot eyes meeting his silver eyes.

"G-go a-away…"

Draco shook his head and took hold of her arms so that he could see her face. He pushed aside her hair that was covering her face and then wiped the tears away with his thumb. "Shh… Ginny don't cry…"

Ginny blushed under his touch. 'Ginny, you and your big mouth!' she thought, mentally slapping herself.

"Ginny you've misunderstood me. The person I was describing isn't my girlfriend; she's my sister, Arriana. " Ginny's head snapped up at what she just heard. "She's the one I visit every weekend." Draco concluded with a slight smile.

"Y-your sister?"

Draco nodded. Ginny covered her face and mumbled. "Oh my gosh, I just made a complete fool of myself." She was thoroughly embarrassed what with confessing her feelings to Draco, her BEST FRIEND, AND accusing him of going out… with his sister. She slapped herself hard on the forehead because of her stupidity, which caused Draco to laugh.

"Ugh… Just the thought of going out with my sister, who is not to mention fourteen years younger, gives me the goosebumps," Draco grimaced at the thought. Ginny's eyes widened and said "I have to go, before I make an even bigger fool of myself." She stood up ready to leave, but Draco who also stood up, took hold of her waist.

"Nuh-uh-uh!" Draco laughed, shaking his head. "Not so fast Ginny-bean." Draco smirked at his nickname for her and enveloped Ginny in his arms, pulling her back to his front. Ginny was breathing rather hard and fast, her heart thumping about 100 m/second. Draco placed his mouth near her ear and whispered, "So what's this I hear about a certain beautiful redhead fancying an oh-so sexy, not to mention handsome blonde man who just happens to be me?" He blew slightly in her ear that sent tingles up and down Ginny's spine.

"Umm…" Ginny stood there; in the arms of the man she loves so much. She shifted in his arms so that she was face to face with him. She breathed in his scent, which seemed to relax Ginny a bit. "Draco… I - "

She was cut off by Draco's mouth that engulfed her in a sweet, passionate kiss. Ginny, who was surprised at first, closed her eyes and placed her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Draco's arms swiftly closed around her waist, bringing her closer to him, if that was even possible. He nibbled at her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She obliged and his tongue darted in and explored her mouth thoroughly. Ginny moaned into his mouth and played with the little hair on the nape of his neck. Draco smirked against her lips, content that he was able to get a sound out of her like that. He made small circles on the small of her back, which made Ginny giggle a bit, pulling away. Draco smiled at her, leaning in so that their foreheads touched.

"Well this sexy - not to mention - handsome blonde fancies this beautiful redhead as well," Draco growled sexily.

Tears were falling down Ginny's face again. 'Did I just hear right? Did I just here what I thought I just heard? Or am I just deaf?' she asked herself.

"W-what?" Ginny stammered, leaning back a little to see his face. She directed her attention to his eyes, which showed so much emotion, so much love… for her?

"I said…" Draco cupped her face with both of his hands, wiping the path of tears away. "I love you, Ginevra Weasley."

Ginny gasped but then broke out into a full smile that almost reached her eyes. "I love you too Draco Xavier Malfoy!" she replied excitedly.

Draco smiled, and kissed her again. Once they parted, they held hands and walked back to the "Esoteric Chamber" where they spent the rest of the day, in each other's arms. They talked about their friendship that evolved into a relationship and the risks of continuing this relationship. They came to the conclusion that they loved each other too much to let go of this new discovery and they will do everything in their power to keep it strong and full of happy moments.

"So when do I get to meet your sister?" Ginny grinned, looking down at Draco, who's head was on her lap. She started playing with his hair absentmindedly. She thought that Draco would have at least scolded her for messing with his hair once again but it seemed like he didn't mind. Actually it helped him relax, so Ginny continued on.

"Hmm… what about this weekend?" Draco asked. Ginny nodded and smiled at Draco.

"I can't wait!"
