It was past curfew in Hogwarts and everyone had gone to bed except for one certain Gryffindor, Ginny Weasley. She was sitting in the Common Room thinking about a handsome Slytherin, Draco Malfoy. Yes, Ginny had a crush on the Slytherin bad boy. But who could blame her? She had always fallen for the wrong guys but it had always felt so right, so this wouldn't be any different. Ginny was pretty sure that Malfoy had a thing for her as well.

Flashback

Ginny was in the Restricted Section of the library earlier that day trying to find a book on monsters. She located the book and tried to reach it but it was a tad bit high for her.

"Let me help you with that." A deep voice told her.

She turned around and saw Draco Malfoy with a smirk on his face.

"I don't need your help, you're not even supposed to be here." She hissed at him.

Malfoy raised an eyebrow. "Oh, as if you got special permission." He commented.

She narrowed her eyes at him but didn't say anything and tried again to reach the book. Ginny felt Malfoy reach behind her and get the book from the top shelf. She couldn't help but savor the feeling of him behind her. Somehow, it felt so good, she had to contain herself from letting out a sigh.

Without saying a word, Malfoy handed her the book. "Um…thanks." Ginny mumbled.

"Of course. Anything to help a pretty young lady in distress." He replied with his traditional smirk. "If there's anything else you need, let me know." Malfoy whispered and left without looking back.

Finally, Ginny let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. She stared at the book as though it would give her the answers she needed and with a shake of her head, she left.

End of flashback

Of all the guys in Hogwarts, I had to fall for him, Ginny thought, feeling a bit frustrated at herself. Deciding that it was already late, she went back to her room to get some sleep.

The next day at breakfast, Ginny couldn't help sneaking glances at the Slytherin table hoping to catch Malfoy's eye. Her friend, Hermione Granger, noticed this and asked her, "Why do you keep looking over to the Slytherin table?"

"I…um…it's nothing." Ginny replied quickly. "So, are you prepared for today's lessons?" She asked trying to change the subject.

But Hermione was not at all convinced and would not let this go. "Ginny, tell the truth. Do you have a crush on one of the Slytherins?"

Ginny tried to lie but there's no way Hermione would believe her. "Yes, I do. But you're really going to get angry once I tell who it is." Ginny admitted miserably.

Hermione looked at her as though expecting an answer and finally Ginny replied, "It's Malfoy."

If Hermione was shocked she sure didn't show it but it was obvious that she was really surprised. "Oh….I see." Was all she muster to say.

"Listen Hermione, please don't tell anyone and please don't be mad at me." Ginny told her. "I know I shouldn't but I really can't help it. Not when I know that there is a chance he feels the same way."

Now Hermione could barely contain her shock. "Draco Malfoy, a well-endowed Slytherin, actually has a crush on a Gryffindor?" She asked.

Ginny smiled sheepishly. "Actually, I have no idea. I just think that it could be a possibility." And then, she proceeded to tell Hermione about the incident in the library.

"Wow, it does seem like he likes you." Hermione commented once Ginny finished.

"Exactly. I just want to find out if he does feel the same way. If he doesn't, then I'm ready to move on. If he does…well, I haven't thought that through yet." Ginny replied with a slight grin.

"Well, if you want to ask him out, then I really can't stop you. But be careful…this is Malfoy we are talking about." Hermione warned her.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash." Ginny promised. And with that, they both went to class.

II

The day got over pretty quickly and Ginny couldn't be more glad. She needed to talk to Malfoy soon or she felt that her feelings for him might just get stronger. So, she had passed a note to him during class asking him to meet her in front of the lake during dinner. He had just grinned at her after reading the note which she decided to take as a 'yes.' Plus, there's no way Draco Malfoy can resist a secret meeting during the night, she thought with a grin.

On the other hand, Hermione wasn't so sure about this secret meeting but Ginny assured that her that everything will be fine. "Just be careful." Hermione repeated her earlier words.

Ginny reached the Hogwarts ground before Malfoy and decided to take a walk till Malfoy reached.

Before she could move another step, she felt a whisper, "I came."

She turned around and saw Malfoy with a grin. "This better be important Red, I gave up dinner for you." He told her.

Ginny smirked at the use of his nickname. "Red? You couldn't get any other name?" She asked him.

Malfoy just shrugged and replied, "Hey, it is appropriate after all. So, what's the occasion that you had to meet me in private?"

Ginny felt that there it was no use beating around the bush, so she got straight to the point. "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that….I couldn't stop thinking about the thing that happened between us in the library."

"What? Nothing happened between us. I just helped you to get your book." Malfoy replied flatly.

Ginny just stared at him. "What do you mean nothing happened? You told, "If there's anything else you need, let me know." I'm guessing you didn't mean that." She replied, slightly angry.

"You should know Red, that I mess around with girls a lot…..and yes, I didn't actually mean that." Malfoy replied, his tone emotionless.

But she could tell that he was lying. "There is no way that was fake. Why are you denying it?" Ginny asked.

"Because I don't want to mean it, alright?" Malfoy admitted. "I'm just going to end up breaking your heart, no point trying to evade that."

"How can you tell that? We didn't even go on a date!" Ginny told exasperated.

"This is what happens with every girl. They fall for me, I warn them that they are going to get hurt but they just don't listen." Malfoy revealed. "Let's face it, I don't do commitments."

She moved closer to him and whispered, "What if I'm not asking for a commitment? What if, I'm just asking for one date?"

Malfoy looked at her for a moment before asking, "So, this is just to satisfy our wants?"

Ginny shrugged and replied, "Hey, you don't want to be in a relationship but you just admitted that you want me. Well, guess what Slytherin boy…I want you too."

Malfoy stepped closer to him and told quietly, "How about we seal the deal with a kiss?"

Before Ginny could reply, Malfoy's lips were on hers. He could hardly believe what was happening. Here he was doing something he never imagined he would do….kissing Ginny Weasley. But as much he couldn't believe it, he had to admit, she sure knew how to kiss. Without realizing it, Malfoy put his arms around her and brought her closer to him.

Ginny on the other hand, felt like she had died and gone to heaven. Huh, I guess Draco Malfoy can kiss after all, she thought. She ran her hands wildly through his soft blond locks as they both fought for dominance.

Malfoy ran his hands up and down her arms, marveling at the softness of her skin. He couldn't remember the last time a girl made him feel this way. Malfoy felt like his whole insides were on fire and he couldn't do anything about it…not that he wanted to.

When the need for oxygen was too much to ignore, they pulled apart. Malfoy took in Ginny's appearance, her face was completely flushed and she was breathing heavily. His appearance was quite similar with the exception that his hair was a utter mess.

"That was….wow!" Ginny told. "Wow, indeed." Malfoy agreed. "Makes me wonder why we didn't do it before." He said with a grin.

"Because, you were an arrogant insufferable brat, and we loathed each other." Ginny replied wisely.

"I know and it's too bad that it had to be that way. Are you sure you want to proceed?" Malfoy asked her.

He couldn't help but feel strange at this whole situation. He was also worried because he had a feeling that he did like her and he didn't just want her. Of course, Malfoy would never tell her that because he didn't even want to admit it to himself. But he was always ready for a change, and this was definitely out of the ordinary. I guess we'll have to see how this goes, he thought.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by Ginny's voice. "Yes, I'm sure. Don't tell me that you are backing out after that kiss." She told in a teasing tone. "Besides, I never knew that you could actually kiss like that."

Malfoy pretended to be offended. "What? So, that means you're not a believer of rumors are you Red? Well, I'm glad you got to experience for yourself." He replied with a smirk.

Ginny blushed slightly and Malfoy couldn't help but think how pretty she looked when she blushed.

A comfortable silence hung between them for sometime. "We should probably get back inside. I think we've been here for a long time." Malfoy finally suggested.

Ginny nodded and they both walked back to the castle holding hands. 'By the way, I lied. I did mean what I said in the library…if you need anything, let me know." He told her with a smile.

She smiled back and replied, "Thanks. You know, you really look nice when you smile. You should do that more often."

"Why, thank you for the fair compliment milady." Malfoy told with a grin. "You do know that we have to keep this date of ours a secret. It's just that, my father should not know about this. I'm sure you're aware of the blood rivalry."

"Of course, no problem." She replied. "After all, it's just one date." Ginny couldn't help but tell it in a sad tone because she didn't want it to be just one date.

Malfory sensed this and he told her softly, "Hopefully it won't be just one date." And he kissed her forehead.

She looked at him curiously but he didn't say anything, so she decided to drop it. But Ginny couldn't help but hope for the same thing.
