The Absence of Light

Chapter 7

Disclaimer: None of it is mine, except the plot.


"You know, we really should try to find a way back to our time period." Ginny said. She was laying on one of the many couches in their room. Draco was sitting in the comfy chair with his hands between his knees. His shaggy blonde hair shielded his eyes from the world. Ginny rolled over onto her side and looked at Draco with a smile on her face.

"Yeah that's probably a good idea." Draco said with a sigh. Draco looked up to watch Ginny. His eyes roamed the length of her body from her eyes to her thighs. His sight grazed over her chest and across her flat stomach and down her legs. When he reached her face again Draco noticed the blush that had appeared across her face.

Draco cleared his throat and leaned back in the chair. 'Don't even go there Draco.' But he couldn't help it. His eyes moved back over to Ginny who was now standing up. Draco stood as well and as Ginny turned to walk away, the blush still clear on her face, Draco grabbed her. He spun her around and looked into her eyes.

"I should not be doing this." Draco muttered.

Ginny nodded, "Yes you should."

"Fuck, yes I should." Draco sighed and put his arms around her waist pulling her close. He kissed her gently; it slowly turned into a heated kiss. Ginny grabbed the front of Draco's robes and pushed him onto the couch. She straddled Draco, continuing to kiss him.

A knock on the door startled the two from their activities. "Professors?" A student's voice called from the other side of the door. "It's Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lu—ouch!"

"I think they can guess who's with us when they open the door Evans." James snapped.

"Don't hit me." Lily growled back at him. Ginny sighed and walked towards the door while straightening out her clothes. Ginny yanked open the door to reveal Sirius and Remus who were rolling their eyes at each other and at Lily and James who were inches away from each other's faces. She cleared her throat and the pair jumped apart. Lily immediately stepped up to the door frame.

"Hello Ginny, Draco." Lily waved to the disgruntled Draco on the couch. "We aren't interrupting you are we?"

"Nope, not at all." Ginny answered stepping to the side and motioning for the students to come in. Draco snorted and Ginny looked at him and giggled softly. "What can we do for you?" Ginny walked over to the couch Draco was on and sat down on the edge, leaving the other couch and chair for the students. Draco sat behind Ginny lazily drawing designs on her bare back sending chills through Ginny.

Lily looked at the boys and sighed, "Professor Binns assigned up a paper about wizards and witches who time travel. For some reason we thought you could help us research since you know, you have a lot of old volumes about a bunch of different things." Lily glanced at the bookshelves that lined the room. "I mean, that entire bookshelf is about time travel."

Ginny's head snapped around to look where Lily was looking. She was right. "Uh, yes that sounds fine. We would love to help you, but we won't be writing the paper for you."

"Of course not!" Sirius snickered.

"Could we start now?" Remus asked quietly. Draco nodded and stood up, wrapping his arms around his "wife".

"Go grab some books and parchment and ink. Then we can start and we can try and help explain some stuff." Draco said, resting his chin on Ginny's shoulder.


A/N: Alright, be mad. This was pitiful. BUT (yes I have an excuse) it is just a filler chapter that sets up what will happen. Now I have no excuse for the lateness except that I kept saying "Oh I'll do it when I get home." Yea well I had to think ahead and direct this story the way I wanted it to go.

Also I'm starting a new story, I won't post it until I've got a few chapters ready. But if you want stay on the lookout for it. Any new updates about it I will post em here to let you guys know. Thanks for reading this sad little chapter I promise the rest will be better. : /
