This is just a small note to thank my many beta readers-I needed a lot. You
might want to kill them by the end of the chapter for allowing me to post
this, but I think they might just live…
Thanks to Jenny (who's spelling is no better than mine but * small sigh*she tried!),
Vish who is almost entirely responsible for the spelling and grammar, if it's bad you can take it out on her, Suzanne who introduced me to fanfic's, Sophie for being Sophie (Check out her fanfic@ Schnoogle, under Sophie Livsey it's good) and finally Zoe who read it, and still does- Thank you!
Anything in stars is supposed to be a flashback- FanFiction.Net didn't like italics, I hope it still works. Enjoy, or not it's up to you
He stirred gently awake as the morning light washed over him. He stretched his arms and legs pulling away from his body in different directions. He did all this with as little movement as possible so as not to disturb who was lying next to him. He propped himself up on his elbow to watch her sleep, marvelling at the way she could make him feel, smiling as he remembered last night and how nice it felt just to have her here with him, the way the morning light made her red hair look like fire, with the thousand different shades of red reflecting the light.
Despite the fact that he'd barley moved the bed Ginny had felt him move and turned over to smile her good morning at him. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" Draco apologised before leaning down to kiss her good morning. Ginny turned her head so where as Draco had aimed the kiss for her mouth it ended up hitting her cheek, just below her ear. She screwed up her face and turned away from him, pulling up her legs and pulling in her head to stretch the opposite way that Draco had. "Nooooooo!" she protested laughingly at him. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet. "
The bed had begun to shake gently as Ginny had laughed. This felt very good to Draco, Ginny and he were dead centre in the bed.
Ginny was also hiding under the sheet that Draco had covered them with as they fell asleep in each other's arms. Draco smiled a small smile to himself and commented "I never knew you were so in to dental hygiene."
"I'm very into dental hygiene, your teeth are very important, you only get one set …Draco! Pack it in, I mean it" Ginny began protesting trying to sound as though she meant it. It seemed that Draco was determined to have a kiss and after trying to pull the covers from her fingers and failing, he had decided to reach her from underneath the other end of the sheet. And he had begun to tickle her feet, the one thing that she just couldn't stand.
This was, unfortunately for Ginny, one of the first things Draco had learnt about her.
**
As one night when they'd met up and were sat together in an empty class room, Draco with his back against a desk with Ginny leaning back against his knees. She'd taken her shoes off as they had begun to hurt her.
"Would you like a foot massage? I have been told that I have an exceptional talent for it."
"I'll bet you have! And who pray told you this?" Ginny asked turning her head to look at him with a politely inquiring look on her face but her eyebrow arched, which kind of gave away the fact that she was maybe, just maybe a little jealous of whomever had enjoyed Draco's administrations before her.
Draco grinned and swooped down for a quick kiss. Then in a supremely gloating tone of voice said "Your jealous!" With a smirk on his face and his eyebrow arching, in a way that Ginny personally thought was really cute, when not intensely irritating, said that the statement was actually a question. Ginny had a rye smile on her face when she conceded, "Maybe, just a little." Her face was tilted up for a kiss, a silent request that Draco fulfilled before asking, " Well want the chance to judge for your self?" punctuating the question with a little nudge from his knee.
"As much as I would love to… no," she laughed at the look of mock outrage on his features and quickly went on to explain, " Not that I don't want to… I'd love to but," she continued in a whisper, " I have ticklish feet". She finished telling him a secret of huge significance. "Really", he drawled, "I'll have to remember that."
Ginny looked at him with dawning horror as she realised that he had every intention of using that against her at some point in the future and went on to warn him. "Don't even think it. I become very dangerous when people attempt to tickle my feet and if you end up on the floor unconscious, due to the fact that I've whacked you over the head with the nearest blunt instrument then do not say, I did not warn you."
Draco cuddled her closer to him and asked in his most pleading voice, not exceptionally pleading, he was after all still a Malfoy, "But, surely you wouldn't do that to me," as he kissed his way down her neck, "your absolutely amazing, one of a kind, drop dead gorgeous boyfriend. Would you?" he asked.
Even though Draco was making it impossible for her to think rationally, she answered him with an amazing cool, considering what his kisses were doing to her, "Wouldn't think twice about it!" she told him laughingly.
Draco responded to the unspoken challenge in her words. "Is that so?" as he stopped kissing her and reached instead for her feet.
He'd had the bruises for a week afterwards, he remembered smiling, but Ginny was unrepentant no matter what he tried to do to make her feel guilty. She stood by the fact that she'd warned him and it was his own fault.
**
It was the only memory of anyone hitting him, which made him grin like a fool whenever he remembered it.
Draco received his good morning kiss later. After Ginny had jumped up taking the sheet with her. And done a mad dash to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Draco hadn't He'd got a glimpse of her perfectly rounded bum before she managed to close the bathroom door. He'd had to content himself with that.
Draco was lying flat on his bed, fully clothed staring at his bedroom ceiling, reliving memories he partly wished that he didn't have and partly held on to so tightly he would kill anyone who tried to take them from him. This was happening more and more frequently to him his nights no longer were spent sleeping but instead reliving things he could do nothing about now.
He couldn't remember when he'd first noticed Ginny Weasly as being anything other than a Weasly, recognisable from her long mane of fiery red hair. Her brother Ron had been in the same year as himself and best friends with the person he hated most in the world, or so he'd thought until he found that there was someone who he hated even more, impossible he'd thought at the time, but later true.
Then one day when he was in the Slytherin common room he over heard a conversation that some of the first years lads were having.
**
"So if you could date anyone in the entire school, who would it be?" said a tall boy with an elongated face.
"Definitely Blaise, she is gorgeous, the best looking girl in the school." Replied one of his friends. This made Draco laugh, as this was his girlfriend and she was without a doubt the best looking girl in Slytherin. Draco got up to leave as he had some research to get done in the library but was stopped dead in his tracks by the third boys reply. "No way, the best looking girl in school is Ginny Weasly, you would have to be dead, blind or dumb not to have noticed that!" The boy with the elongated face quickly agreed with his friend. "Definitely, pity that she's in Gryffindor, still you can't have everything"
To say he'd been surprised was an understatement and he vowed to take a look at Weaslys little sister next time he saw her. When he got to the library he went straight for the Potions section to grab the book he needed, before heading back to his room. As a prefect he got his own room in the Slytherin section of the castle. Turning round the corner he completely knocked over the person just rounding the corner flying backwards, flat on to her back, books shooting off at mad angles, he had to side step one of them.
The person who he'd knocked over did not look best pleased and hadn't even noticed that he was there. This irritated Draco more than he cared to admit as no one ever plain ignored him or failed to notice that he was there. He wasn't someone who would offer to help so instead he watched as the girl gathered her books, quietly mumbling to herself, her face hidden by masses of straight red hair. When she'd finished, she straightened and Draco saw her face for the first time. Wow was the only word that described her. He felt like a forty-ton truck had hit his chest, she was so incredibly beautiful. She took one look at him and moved round him and headed for the door. She was mad. Angry as hell at him but took one look and seemed too decided it wasn't worth it. Draco had stood there for at least five minutes until he remembered what he was there to do; no one had ever looked at him like that before. He hadn't known who she was then but he'd soon found out, he smiled at the memory.
For the next few weeks he'd unconsciously been searching throughout the school for the red hair that would belong to that girl. He hadn't realised before just how many had red hair in the school but there were loads, but instantly he saw it he recognised it. He was in the great hall and he saw her on the Gryffindor sat next to, how typical he thought, Harry Potter. He smiled as he remembered the first time he realised the girl he thought was so beautiful, was actually a Weasley.
He remembered lots of her little quirks like that her favourite Bertie Bott's Bean was vanilla and when she came across a vanilla one she used to smell it first and sigh, then nibble it as if to make it last longer. He used to save all the vanilla ones for her; she always seemed surprised when he did this, even though for the three years they dated he did this regularly for her from the day he found out about her not so secret fetish. If he ever was about to sneeze when she was with him, she would shout out a number say, 4, and try to kiss him four times before he sneezed, smiling he remembered all those lost sneezes.
They were sitting outside, down by the lake. It was one of those completely perfect summer days when it feels as though nothing could possibly go wrong. They were sat with a picnic and had cast banishing spells all around their small peaceful spot; they didn't want to be disturbed, much less discovered. They'd been dating for one and half years in secret but Ron was starting to get suspicious. He 'd heard that Ginny wasn't dating, she was one of the most beautiful girls in the school so lack of offers by those good looking and those not so but still asked, confidence drawn from the fact that Ginny was a kind person and wouldn't make their rejection a public humiliation, was not the reason she wasn't dating.
Draco had to suffer in silence, when he heard through the school grapevine that yet another boy had asked Ginny out and been turned down. It didn't matter that they weren't going out with Ginny and that they'd failed was a fore gone conclusion. He'd wanted to break the face of whoever had been the latest to fall for Ginny's charms, actually he'd shown quite a bit of restraint. The problem was that no-one elas knew he had a claim to it… "Ginny, what do you do to these guys, why do they all fall over you? Have you been giving out the Ginny Weasley charm? Note that I said the Ginny Weasley charm and not the Weasley charm."
Ginny started to laugh so hard that she was having difficulty breathing. "What are you talking about? Are you insane?" smiling she asked, "What's brought this on?"
"Ever thought about going public, I mean I must be the only boy in school that hasn't asked you out yet. I could, then we wouldn't have to hide any more."
Ginny turned round to look at him, "Oh my God you're serious," she said. "Can you imagine what would happen to you if we did, my brothers would hit the roof, no sorry change that to, hit you- remember that I have six of them, seven if you count Harry who practically qualifies as one.
No one would accept it, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin dating.
What would your father do to you, I'd never see the light of day again once my parents found out." This continuing stream of reasons for them not to be together was silenced by Draco's mouth swooping down, covering hers with the sweetest kiss. She found herself melting in to him and realised that nothing mattered but them, together, it didn't matter what anyone else said. Breaking off the kiss she cupped his face in her hands while she turned herself to be facing him, kneeling in front of him. She looked at him, just for a second. Then she kissed him with a passion he'd known she had but had never shown him, till now. When she finished the kiss, she still didn't let him go, but hugged him fiercely to her, "All our reasons for not going out together in public are all to do with other people .. Aggh" she broke off frustratedly, letting go of him and collapsing in a heap in front of him.
Then she smiled and looked up at him after seeming to consider everything and said, "But if you're certain, then I would love to date you Draco Malfoy, but only if you ask me properly." Grinning she looked at him expectantly.
"Ask you properly, you mean like last time? Okay I'm happy to oblige" he finished by kissing her breathless, Ginny had started to laugh when he said this, but quickly stopped, finding it impossible to do both.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" yelled an absolutely livid Ron Weasley. Totally shattering the peaceful calm of the day, with only seven words, and of course his actual appearance.
