I heard a footstep thud around the corner of the corridor. I turned, grabbing the hand of the person next to me and dragging him down the hallway. I hurried over to a broom cupboard a few feet away and shoved my companion in before me.
"What the hell was that for?" He hissed, eyes trained on me as I pressed my ear to the door.
"It's my brother's turn to patrol tonight. I'm not taking any chances." I answered shortly, raising a finger to my lips to discourage any further talk. He sighed heavily, running his hand through his blond locks.
I remained at the door, listening intently for any sound for only a few moments more before I turned back to him.
"It's been two weeks," he started, "and while I must admit, sneaking around was fun at first, don't you think it's time we told people?" Even in the darkness, I could picture his expression. I could feel his eyes on me, fixed to where he knew I stood with an intensity that their stormy gray color seemed only to enhance. I shifted from foot to foot, wringing my hands as I tried yet again to explain myself.
"Two weeks isn't very long, Draco." I started, choosing for once to think over my words before immediately blurting them out. "Our relationship is still very new- it would be much too complicated, and there'd be so much pressure- from everyone. I just can't take that from everyone."
The wood groaned as Draco stepped forward, taking my hands in his and entwining our fingers. "I'm willing to tell everyone, Ginevra," he drawled, "I'm ready to face the scorn and possible estrangement from my entire family and my peers, yet yours are the reason you refuse to tell, and may I remind you that they would show much more understanding."
I snorted. "Ron would castrate you in ten seconds."
"And you believe that he would stand a chance against me?"
"Against him, maybe." I allowed. "Not a chance when the rest of my brothers join him." A throaty growl escaped his throat, and I leaned into his chest, burying my head in an effort to quench a giggle.
"Don't you find this even the slightest bit sexy, Draco?" I whispered. "I find it simply . . . enthralling."
I knew I had won- for now, when his lips descended on mine.

So, I seriously don't know what I've gotten myself into for this challenge, but it's too late now. I hope you all like it. I won't be using a beta, so any mistakes are mine, and please let me know about them.
This will focus mainly on D/G, but I will be including several other pairings into the challenge.
