A/N: Hello, this would be my first fanfic, and it's written in response to Fic-Princess's D/G Forum Christmas Challenge. And it was quite a challenge to finish it... :)
So, read, and the link (and another a/n) is at the bottom. :) ty!

seriously, special thanks to rowan for telling me that if i thought i had an imagination, then i could write fanfic. she then pretty much told me to get to work.
aerileigh, nimph, scubarang, starlit, and everyone else whom ive had any sort of contact with on the forum for going on about Draco and Ginny constantly and incessently, enough for me to actually get to work on this. :) you guys are hilarious.

again, the summary:

Multiple drabbles in the life of Draco and Ginny, following the most important points in their life, from the very first kiss to the last. Written in response to the D/G Forum Christmas Challenge. Link for other D/G Challenges inside. Merry Christmas!

Draco was busy cursing snowballs when he noticed the bright flash of red. Of course it would be her, Ginny. He stared for a moment at her figure walking across the icy snow towards the Great Hall. Then she heard a noise – their snow fort exploding, no doubt – and caught his gaze squarely. Draco looked at her for a long moment, taking in her Hogsmeade packages before she broke their gaze and ran for the entrance.

Draco sighed. Obviously, she didn't want to talk to him. He shoved his protective side down as she slipped. But he couldn't just let her leave.

He turned to Blaise, who had his mouth in a thin line. He could already tell Draco was leaving. Draco attempted to stop his mouth before it started, but sadly, it was too late. His mouth had forgotten to clear things with his brain. Obviously, the Weasley girl was the focus of all of this babbling.

"Blaise, look…listen, I…I have to go!" he blurted, edging away while talking, then turned and sprinted towards the entrance as fast as he could.

He burst into the Great Hall noisily, then slowed down and searched the staircases. Surely, she would have gone up one of them. He randomly picked the right one and pounded up the first few stairs before halting, his black shoes screeching against the marble. He had seen another flash of red, right below him.

He dashed back down and hung a 90 degree right turn, and there she was.

"Hey." He panted. After recollecting himself, he tossed on a haughty smirk and reverted to Slytherin mode. "Decided to hide yourself away in this…" he glanced around snootily "…dusty doorway? Thought it would hide you from me? You should know better. Slytherins can find anything they want."

"Oh, really?" Ginny retorted, her red hair slowly escaping the band it was in and creating a fiery effect around her already red face. "Took you a couple minutes to put your tongue back in your mouth after drooling at me though, didn't it?"

Draco was rather taken back. He hadn't exactly expected her to have a ready comeback.

"Now, you –" he had a steely glint in his eyes as Ginny interrupted.

"I think the Hall decorations are just a bit too much in areas and sparse in others." She said as a side note of commentary.

"Oh, yes, be typical Gryffindor – or is that more HufflePuff – and smooth fights over before they're barely started." He mocked.

"Although there's no mistletoe in sight as of yet," she continued as if there had been no interruption. Draco hastily slid his wand hand behind his back and conjured some up right over her head, where she was leaning against the doorpost. It was rather badly stuck to the doorframe. Glue, he though abashedly.

"And that's where you're wrong, Ginevra," he drawled. "I do believe that's mistletoe above your head." He stepped a bit closer to her and looked up.

"Why, I do believe we're even under the mistletoe together. Now, about what you owe me…" he trailed off and smirked at her.

She looked as if she was about to slap him, but instead she laughed.

Her hand snaked out and dragged him towards her by the collar of his jacket. Then, Draco believed he had grossly misinterpreted her – she pushed him up against the wall and kissed him before he had a chance to. Draco wasn't generally in the habit of losing himself completely in a kiss, so he almost shamefully admitted becoming lost in this one. But he held himself back from being anymore aggressive with her – after all, he didn't want to scare the girl off. He hadn't exactly had a good chance to determine her compete personality.

Draco muttered to Ginny, "You want to go somewhere…more private?" He didn't expect her to take him up on, just thought he'd have a laugh and watch her face as she blushed.

Sure enough, her face was soon tinted by pink morphing into darker red.

Draco couldn't help himself, and he leaned down and kissed her again, slightly more enthusiastically. He felt bereft when she pulled away, and almost yanked her back to him. But then thought better of it, and let her slide away.

"I don't think so." She said before she turned on her heel and walked away.

She looked back once, and snorted at his priceless expression as he openly gaped at her.

A/N: yes, it's short. Do continue, haha. link: w w w . f a n f i c t i o n .net/topic/54059/11396905/1/ without the spaces, of course. *sigh*

Also, if you're interested, this is going to be a scene in my current fanfic, so this is really just part of a fanfic. In the scene I've already written (just haven't posted up the actual fanfic yet) it's from Blaise's 3rd person perspective and a whole lot longer. I mildly edited it so it would solely concentrate on Draco and Ginny, and fit in with my multiple drabbles. so, if you're interested after you read the rest, you could put me on alert until i get my fanfic up. at the rate im going, it wont take too long. i have nothing else to do with my time over the holidays, except spend time with my family, and i tend to avoid them at the best of times.

Thanks! Review and continue! :)
