"Can I have a grilled cheese sandwich Dobby?" Ginny Weasley asked in the kitchens at Hogwarts.
"Yes, right away miss." Dobby smiled, then scurried away.
She sighed and sat down on a chair. Ginny smiled at the first day of her 6th year. Harry had broken up with her at the end of her 5th year and she was devastated, at first.
But then she decided, after many pints of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and lots of tissues, to not be known as Ron's little sister anymore. She was her own person damn it! She would be Ginny, not the trio's tagalong, not the littlest Weasley, just Ginny… or possibly Ginevra.
So after months of make-up changing and new clothes buying she had to reintroduce herself to 10 people on her first day.
Suddenly she was shaken out of her reverie when she heard the kitchens portrait hole swing open so she dove under the wooden table. If this was a teacher she would definitely get detention and points off, not only was she out past curfew but the kitchens are off limits for students. But the voice she heard wasn't of a teachers' but a students.
"Dobby," the voice said. "Make me some chips." Ginny recognized the voice but before she could do anything his face appeared before her.
"What are you doing down there Weasley?" Draco Malfoy smirked at her.
"Can't you tell Malfoy? I am having a raging party with the house-elfs." Ginny's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Surly you can get better friends that house-elfs, can't you?" He rose a perfectly shaped blonde eyebrow at her. But before she had to retaliate Dobby appeared next to Malfoy.
"Miss, your cheese sandwich is ready." Dobby said in his squeaky voice.
"Thanks Dobby." She said smiling at him. Ginny got up from under the table and Draco saw her properly for the first time that year.
She had dyed her hair more of an auburn color with blonde streaks in it, and it ended at the middle of her back. She still had freckles but there as many and the ones still there looked great in contrast to her pale skin. He couldn't tell her figure because she was wearing baggy pajama pants and a loose t-shirt.
Gin sat down at the table and began to pull her sandwich into little pieces.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?" Draco smirked at her.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to stare?" Ginny sneered at him.
"Who ever said I was polite?" Ginny rolled her eyes.
"I can't eat when someone is watching me." She sighed her eyes returning to her sandwich.
"You think you would get used to it." Draco muttered.
Ginny tore her eyes away from her sandwich. "Malfoy are you criticizing me or flirting with me?"
"Can I get back to you on that?" Draco smiled. She was shocked, speech-less even. He laughed. "What Weasley?"
"Well you smiled, I have never seen you smile before. I almost didn't think you were capable." Draco smiled again. "And you know something else, you look much hotter when you smile." Now it was his turn to be shocked.
"Well you're not to bad yourself Weasley." She smiled as she felt a blush creeping up her face.
Suddenly they heard the portrait hole open.
Ginny was stunned for a minute… but then realized that she wasn't going to get caught. She stood up from her seat and pulled Malfoy underneath the table. It was very narrow under there so they were very close together.
"Dobby can I have a small glass of Fire Whiskey?" Her jaw dropped open as she recognized the voice.
"McGonagall." Ginny mouthed soundlessly at Draco. But he wasn't looking at her; he was looking behind him at McGonagall's feet. She was pulling out the chair to take a seat. In a split second decision Draco had to move so he crawled on top of Ginny, he put a hand over her mouth as she was about to speak. He pointed to the area where he was laying a moment ago and she saw that if he didn't move McGonagall's foot would have hit him. He removed his hand from her mouth.
Ginny felt his built body pressing against hers and bit her lip. Draco was watching her full red lips and taking in her intoxicating smell. 'She smells like... jasmines.' He decided. His eyes traveled up to hers that were watching him.
"Thank you Dobby. I must be going now." Came McGonagall's voice. She got up and Ginny expected Draco to get off but he didn't, he just kept looking into Ginny's chocolaty brown eyes.
They both heard the portrait hole close as he leaned his face closer to hers. He captured his lips with hers, it was a brief but electrifying kiss. She suddenly broke contact with him.
"Draco, I have a boyfriend." She said as his eyes returned to looking at her lips.
"What he doesn't know-"
"I am a very bad liar, and even if I wasn't I will know and that will make me feel awful." She said and bit her lip again.
"Ginny, please don't bite your lip. You have no idea what it does to me." Draco said almost whispering.
"I need to get back to my dorm Draco." And Ginny slid from underneath Draco and stood up.
"You might need to but do you want to?" He asked smirking at her sexily. He then got up gracefully from underneath the table.
"No, I don't want to." She smiled then turned her back to him and started to leave.
Draco grabbed her wrist, "Ginny. If you ever change your mind you know where I will be." Then he dropped her skinny wrist and she walked away.
'What the hell is that suppose to mean?' Ginny thought to herself as she walked from the kitchens. 'I don't know where he will be. I don't know where the Slytherin common room is!' Ginny sighed when she realized that she hadn't been very careful about walking around after curfew but she got safely to the portrait all the same.
"Acromantula." Ginny said to the portrait, the password that Ron despised. The fat lady's portrait swung open and she saw that Harry and Ron were still up.
"Hi guys!" She said cheerfully.
"And just where have you been Ginny?" Ron asked sternly.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "In the kitchens."
"What were you doing in there?"
She shut her eyes in frustration of her brother's stupidity, "I was hiding out with Malfoy under a table, then we started making out." Ron's ears went red.
"Ron relax she is just being sarcastic because of your stupid question." Hermione assured him. "Weren't you Ginny? You would never make out with Draco Malfoy, would you?"
"Oh no. Never kiss a Malfoy." Ginny smiled sweetly.
"I am going to bed." Ron stated. "You coming Harry?"
"I need to finish up with my divination homework. I'll be up soon." He assured.
"Don't stay up to late Gin." Ron said to her in a very bossy way.
"Yeah, okay." She said not really paying attention. Ron then walked halfway up the staircase to the boy dormitories.
"Goodnight Harry, Ginny… Hermione."
Hermione ran up to the base of the stairs. "Sweet dreams Ron." And Hermione went up to the girls' dormitories.
"Gods can they be any more obvious?"
"What do you mean?"
"They have huge crushes on each other…"
"How can you tell?"
"Well… with 'Mione I can tell because she is really obvious about it… well its obvious to girls… and with Ron. I read his diary… journal thing…"
"Ron has a diary." Harry laughed.
"Its quite entertaining you should read it sometime."
"That's really nice Gin…" Harry said sarcastically. "Hey Ginny what time is it?" Harry asked her. She looked down at her wrist but then realized that it wasn't there. Then it dawned on her, when Draco grabbed her wrist he must have taken it.
"I must have misplaced my watch, sorry Harry I don't know." Ginny said sweetly to him.
"Gin can I talk to you?" He asked putting his stuff away.
"Sure Harry, but I thought that's what we were doing now?" She said raising an eyebrow at him.
"Will you come over here and sit down?" Ginny nodded and came and sat down next to Harry. "Gin I am sorry I broke up with you."
Her eyebrows furrowed together. "Harry we have been down this road already. Remember I forgive you and I don't think it's your fault that you didn't have the same feelings for me that I had for you."
"Had?" Harry asked confused.
"Harry you don't think I still love you do you? Because I already have a boyfriend and that is the usual sign that I have moved on."
"Yeah right, of course. What was I thinking?" Harry laughed nervously. "I just wish there was something I could do."
"Even though I already forgive you... there is something you can do." She smiled.
"What?"
"Let me borrow your cloak and map."
"Ginny..."
"You said you wanted to make it up to me!"
"Oh okay, let me go and get them."
