Chapter 4: Can Ferrets Swim?
"What are you doing exactly?"
"We're going swimming of course."
It was all Draco could do to keep his mouth from swinging wide open as he took in the sight of a nearly naked Ginny Weasley. It had always been obvious that little Ginny's rather modest clothing was hiding some rather nice curves but now out in the open they were causing Draco to have a hard time controlling his male impulses. Not so little anymore, eh Malfoy?
He openly starred at her. She was nearly perfect. Her breasts were full and begging to be touched, her stomach was flat and perfectly toned, her arse was shapely but not in a way that made it look fat, and despite her petit form, it appeared as if she had legs for days. Who knew underneath her loosely fitting cloths the little Weaselette was hiding that body? And even more surprising then that, who would have ever thought that that a Malfoy would ever have a desire to ravish that little weasel's body?
"Hey. Ferret boy. Take a picture it will last longer." Ginny turned away form him, pretending to laugh at her own horribly cliché insult. Really it was just a way for her to try to hide the bright crimson blush that had begun to spread across her face all the way to the tips of her ears due to the fact that she was more then a little uncomfortable with the way Malfoy was starring at her. He had a hungry look in his eyes and that scared her. "Hurry up or I will drag you in the water with your clothes on."
Draco gave a dramatic sigh before reaching down and pulling his light blue t-shirt over his head. This time it was Ginny's turn to ogle. Quidditch was a gift from the gods because it helped to produce that amazing body. Toned did not even begin to cover the state of Malfoy's pale body, the boy had rips on his rips but still managed to look slim rather then bulky and overly muscled.
Draco smirked at her as he then slipped off his loose fitting jeans and folded them onto the rock with her clothes leaving him standing in just a pair of black silk boxers. "Ok Weasley; lets go swimming." He gave her a smug look before heading over to the petite path between the rocks that had been worn through from years of use as an entrance to the small crystalline pool of water.
"Ah, ah, ah, Ferret, and where exactly do you think you are going?"
"Ok, bloody hell, now I am confused. I thought we were going swimming," He snapped at her getting annoyed with all the back and forth.
"Well duh." He was almost cute when he was all flustered like that, and yet curiously infuriating at the same time.
He gave her a look that clearly said 'would you make up your mind you crazy bint.' "Then what are you talking about?"
"Well, of course we are going swimming. Why else would I be standing in front of you in my underwear? Honestly! What I meant was why are you going in over there? It is so much more fun to jump off the waterfall rocks," she pointed to the left side of the clearing where the small waterfall that fed the pool was located.
"What?!"
"Holy shit. Ok Malfoy I will speak slower for you. We. Are. Jump. Ing. Off. The. Rocks." she pointed over her shoulder again. "Did you understand?" bloody hell, Ginny felt like she was talking to a five year old.
"No."
"Oh Gods! you really are stupid aren't you." she ran her fingers through her long red hair, frustratingly pulling it into a messy bun on the top of her head.
Draco gave her a look that clearly communicated that he was appalled. "Of course I understood what you said." he scoffed at her. "But I are not jumping off the bloody rocks."
"Oh yes you are. I am going to so you have to too." Ginny fought back, she refused to be run over by his will.
"No I am not." he started to advance toward her, quickly becoming furious with the redhead. Why wasn't she understanding?
Ginny noticed his advance and began herself to inch toward the rocks as she responded to his little power trip. "Oh really? Well I refuse to let you run me over. I am going to jump off the waterfall and you will come with me. Hows that for an ultimatum?" By this time the pair had reached the base of the rock cluster that formed that waterfall.
"Which part of no aren't you understanding Weasley?" his normally cool gray eyes had turned to a blazing mercury with his anger.
Ginny gave him a wicked grin before spinning around and scurrying up the rocks. "It is the whole concept of no that I am having real difficulty with actually." He was now furious but she laughed at him from her safe perch. "Oh, come on Malfoy I won this round. Get up here. I am hot and want to swim."
"No." he turned away form her and leaned against the rock, pouting.
"Draco please!"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I will not climb up there. It is..." he took a long pause before he whispered, almost to low to hear, "too high."
Ginny's eyebrows shot straight up into her hairline. "Quoi?" she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Is Draco Malfoy afraid of heights? How is that possible?"
"I am not afraid of heights!!" he spun around and faced her, his pale features amazingly turning a light pink color with his rage.
"Then get up here!" Ginny challenged. He didn't move, only stared at her in defiance. She burst out into laughter.
"Fuck off weasel." he turned and began to walk away from her toward the path into the water, hoping that she would get pulled off the rock and get injured.
"How is this possible?" she choked. "Seriously, you are a Quidditch seeker. You do realize that that means that you get on a broom and fly really, REALLY high into the air." She hopped down off the rock foiling his plan. "Malfoy?"
Draco let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine, because I know you wont give it up, I have always been afraid of heights, my whole life. I don't go out on balconies, I don't look out any windows above the first story, and I don't jump off fucking rocks for the fun of it!"
"And Quidditch?" the obnoxious little redhead countered.
"Doesn't count."
"How so?"
Draco shook his head in defeat, more then a little uncomfortable with sharing a very personal and embarrassing fear with this relentless girl. "I don't know, being on a broom doesn't count some how. I was given my first broom at age three; flying has always been a part of my life. It is more of a release for me so I never really paid attention to the height; I just focused on the rush that comes from soaring though the air. For some reason I feel safe on a broom. And Quidditch, it is a very structured game with set rules that cant be altered just because someone doesn't like the way it works, and that is nice for a change. It being in the air is just a coincidence. Is that enough of an answer to satisfy your obnoxious curiosity? " He stopped and looked at her.
"Mhm." Ginny continued on past him straight into the water.
He followed her when he began to feel the tug of the spell forcing him forward. "That's it? No questions or snide comments?" They were up to their waist now.
Ginny fully submerged herself in the cool water before replying. "Nope. You admitted your fear, that's all I wanted. Besides that in itself took a lot, if you weren't such a ferret I might have even said that I was proud of you, but you are so that doesn't apply."
Surprisingly Draco didn't look mad at her bold comments, he didn't even look annoyed. The perfect calm, cool, and collected Malfoy mask was back into to place and that, more then any anger, made Ginny extremely nervous. She could have handled a raging hissy fit but what Draco actually did next she never expected. He reached out and pushed her head under the water. Ginny came back up sputtering, "What in the hell was that?" but her only was response was Malfoy's deep laugh. "Oh now you are going to get it." she lunged after him but he was too quick, rocketing to the other side of the pool before she could bat and eyelash and a rapid game of chase had begun.
This was how they spent the rest of the afternoon, chasing each other and playing in the water. Just a few hours of stolen innocence in a corrupt and dangerous would.
TA DA!! Hope you liked it! Please Review! Chapter 5 will be up really soon and I mean it this time.
