Well all of my lovely readers, it is Thanksgiving break! And that means a chapter added to this story for you! I can't promise at the quality but I certainly do hope that you will enjoy it.
Disclaimer – You know the drill. It's not mine, though I sorely wish Draco were (drool).
Anyway. Have fun, kiddos!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Ginny let out a moan as she was pushed backwards against the wall, those soft lips against her neck. He was driving her wild.
"He doesn't make you feel this way, does he?" hot breath whispered into her ear. Her heart beat quickened.
"No," she breathed quickly, pleadingly. "Never."
His lips curled up and his body pressed closer to hers, hands touching whatever was closest to his finger tips. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked in a temptingly sweet voice.
Her lip trembled and her head shook. "No," she breathed again. "Don't stop, Draco."
Draco obliged, his fingers holding her wrist as he backed her deeper into the wall, his lips trailing down her neck.
Their hips ground together and Ginny let out a whimper. "Draco," she said breathlessly. "I want you."
"Finally," he said, letting out a guttural growl as his fingers found their way through the barrier of her pants.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Ginny woke up, her body shaking, sweat beading down her hairline. Her breath was heavy, her body hot. What had the dream meant?
Nothing, of course. It couldn't have meant a thing. Ginevra Molly Weasley was in love with Harry Potter and absolutely nothing would change that. It wasn't up for debate in her mind, but her sanity was being threatened by her subconscious attraction for her worst enemy.
She sighed and looked around at the dark room. Hermione was still sleeping soundly beside her, where they had fallen asleep talking the night before.
Ginny stood and slipped a jacket on over her plaid pajama pants and t-shirt and walked out of the bedroom. She looked at the clock hanging above the fireplace. Six twenty-three. No wonder she was so tired. She'd had only four hours of sleep.
Not sure what else she could do after such a disturbing dream, Ginny plopped down on the large couch in the little common room and watched the flames. Her eyes grew heavier and her sight grew blurry.
"Ginny? What are you doing out here?"
Ginny's eyes fluttered open again and the room was suddenly lighter. There was a pair of big brown eyes in her face, a quizzical expression resting in them. Ginny sat up, confused herself. "I woke up early and didn't want to wake you," she said. "So I came out here and fell asleep anyway."
"When did you come out here?" Hermione asked, tipping her head to the side. Her mass of frizzy hair flitted the same way. "It's nine right now."
"Six-ish," Ginny mumbled and stood up. "Should we get ready to go?"
For a moment Hermione looked as if she had no idea what Ginny was talking about. A look of realization spread across her face and she nodded. "I need to take a shower, so let's meet at the carriages at nine fifty so we can get one before Filch leaves without us."
Ginny laughed and nodded in agreement. She bid the older girl goodbye and walked toward the Gryffindor Tower.
After she'd showered, Ginny dried her hair and dressed in khaki pants, a blue shirt and her Gryffindor robes. As she walked down the hallway, checking the clocks at random intervals, she bumped into the wall and looked up abruptly.
To her surprise, the wall had suddenly developed icy blue eyes with long eyelashes. Everything from the dream she'd had the night before slammed back into her mind.
She was speechless.
"Are you going to move or just stand there all day?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked down at her shock stricken face.
"Malfoy," she spat out, as it was the only thing that was coming to mind.
His brow creased. "Yes Weasley, I'm aware of who I am," he said. "What I don't know is why you are still in my way."
"Potions," Ginny replied quickly. Why couldn't she crank out more than one word sentences that made absolutely no sense?
"He doesn't make you feel this way, does he?"
"All right, that's it. You officially need to be admitted to the loony bin," Draco said, taking a step back.
Ginny shook her head quickly. "No, sorry," she said, her voice returning. "I need help. With potions. Are you busy tonight?"
"I suppose I could spare a few minutes if you promise to stop looking at me like that," he replied in a drawling tone. "You are starting to scare me more than your face usually does."
She rolled her eyes. "Lovely talking to you too, Malfoy," she replied in her usual witty voice as she began to walk away. "See you tonight."
Draco smirked at her back and nodded. "Yeah, see you," he replied, continuing on his way.
-.-.-.-.-.-
"So you've got rounds tonight, right?" Ginny asked Hermione a little later in the day, while they were shopping. "I think I remember you saying you'd be out."
Hermione shook her head. "No, I don't have rounds. I'm tutoring a first year."
Ginny laughed. "Hermione Granger to the rescue, patrolling the halls and making little wizards and witches just like her," she said in a broadcaster voice.
A blush came across Hermione's face. "Oh stop it, Ginny. Honestly. He's a muggle-born Ravenclaw who is somehow failing First year Muggle Studies."
"Wow. That is bad," Ginny said, her eyes widening. "That's worse than Ron. And well… that says a lot."
Both girls giggled and rounded the corner into Honeydukes. "Oh no, Gin. Bring me in here and I'll come out weighing more than Millicent Bullstrode," Hermione said, adding a joking groan for effect.
Ginny laughed. "Well, at least you can pull off the obese look a little better than her," she said. She picked up a few sugar quills for herself and then found individual chocolate brooms with crème filling. She picked up six for her team mates.
"Do you think we should get the boys Christmas gifts, you know, in case they come back?" Hermione asked, coming up behind Ginny. Ginny looked back at the older girl sadly.
"Hermione, I don't think they're coming back," she replied as gently as she could. Hermione nodded.
"I know, but I still feel like we should get them something. Just in case. For when they do get back, you know?"
Ginny nodded, leading Hermione to the fire whiskey filled chocolate cauldrons. "Ron loves those," she said, offering a comforting smile. "It'd be a good choice."
Hermione nodded, smiling back at Ginny. "Thanks," she said, picking up a package of them. "I'll get them something else at the Quidditch store."
"Yeah, let's head on over there," Ginny replied. The two paid for their sweets and exited the store to continue their Christmas shopping.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"So let me get this straight," Ginny mused aloud. "You, Draco Malfoy, the all-knowing Slytherin prince, doesn't know how to fix my mess of a potion?"
Draco rolled his eyes. "If you don't stop provoking me I won't help you, Weasley," he said in a tired voice, but she knew he was just kidding.
Ginny laughed. "Well not to be rude or anything, but you're not doing me much good right now."
"All right that's it," Draco said, standing up and walking toward the door.
"Hey! Wait!" Ginny called after him, hopping up. "Where are you going? I was just joking. Malfoy!"
A sigh fell from his lips and he grabbed her wrist. "We are going to the library Weasley, so we can finish your sodding potion," he said while pulling her out of the private common room and into the hallway.
"Oh," Ginny said, feeling a bit stupid.
They walked toward the library and Ginny noticed as they approached that her wrist was still gently held between his fingers. Images from her dream flashed back in her head, his fingers holding her against the wall, and violating her soon after. She hadn't realized she was staring at him.
"Weasley?" Draco asked with a raised eyebrow. "What are you looking at me like that for?"
Ginny shook her head and looked away. "Nothing. I was just thinking about something," she said quickly and walked into the library. His fingers dropped from her wrist and they both approached the first bookshelf.
For a few moments they were silent, walking up and down aisles of books. But something was distracting Ginny. There was a sound coming from the farthest corner of the library, sounding like the mew of a cat.
"What's that?" Ginny asked softly, listening closer. Draco looked up.
"I don't know," he said with a shrug and walked toward it. Ginny trailed after. "Let's go see."
They both kept quiet as they walked along the row of books, carefully sliding along in the shadows. They rounded the corner and four pairs of eyes snapped open.
"Maggie?" Ginny asked incredulously.
"Ginny!" Maggie shrieked.
"Blaise," Draco said with a curt nod.
"Draco," Blaise returned, nodding back. "Weasley."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Well now that everyone has been properly introduced, can we move on?" he asked boredly. Typical Malfoy.
"What are you two doing here?" Maggie asked, trying to subtly untangle herself from Blaise.
Ginny raised an eyebrow. "This is a library. We're here for a book," she said. "What are you two doing here, hmm? Studying?"
Maggie blushed. "Erm.. Not exactly," she said quietly and Blaise burst into laughter.
"Yes, I think we can see that," Draco added, his smirk replaced on his mouth.
Blaise sighed and stood up, pulling Maggie up along with him. "Well I think we're going to go ahead and leave now. It's getting late and all that studying has worn me out," he said. "Bye Malfoy, Weasley."
Both nodded at the leaving couple, Ginny's eyes following Maggie out as she grinned back at her. Inside she laughed. So there she had an explanation for all Maggie's weird behavior. She now understood why she had seen her darting toward the dungeons on a few occasions. With a laugh she turned back to Draco.
"All right Malfoy, I don't think this night can get any weirder, so let's find that book and go," Ginny said, looking at him in the eye.
For nearly a minute they stared each other in the eye and said nothing. He nodded but kept his eyes on her. "Yeah, that book."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Ay yi yi! Another chapter come and gone! You know what the upside of this is? I accidentally started the ninth chapter before I started this one, so my next post should come quicker since I've written a page of it already.
What do you think about this chapter? In the next one I am expecting a bit more Draco/ Ginny action. I don't want to make it go too fast, but for my plot it needs to get a move on.
Anyway. I don't think I liked this much, but I was distracted when I wrote it.
Why, you ask? Well because I started a new DMxGW fic of course! I won't start posting it until Playing With Fire is either completed or mostly posted. But you can surely look for more from me after it's over (which won't be for a while unfortunately).
Anyway, I hope you had a good time and here's thanks to everyone for the last two chapters, because I didn't do it last time!
