Sorry for the long update. I got back from my cousins and my internet was down for a few days and then school started. Its been a little crazy. Anyway, I managed to write the next chapter. Enjoy and thanks for the reviews.


Chapter 8

It was Saturday, the day of Draco's date with Ginny. Draco sat in the garden, waiting for Ginny to get there. He had arrived there twenty minutes early, so he could get his head straight. He wouldn't admit it, but he was very, nervous about the date. "You're not nervous, you're just excited to see how everyone will react", Draco kept telling himself.

Finally, after twenty agonizing minutes Ginny showed up. She was wearing a black tanktop that showed off much of her chest, and a white jacket that was zipped up to just below her breasts. On her legs she wore tight fitting black jeans. Her golden red hair had been pulled back into a pony tail with strands hanging on the sides of her face.

Draco had to restrain himself from taking her right then and there. He didn't even realize how long he had been standing there just staring at her until Ginny spoke.

"You can stop staring now", Ginny said bringing him back to reality.

"Nice outfit", he said before he could stop himself.

"Thank Pansy for it", Ginny said rolling her eyes.

"I'll have to remind myself to do that", he thought to himself has the two left the garden together.

When they got to Hogsmede they found it overrun with Hogwarts Students. Draco and Ginny received confused glances from students who saw the two together, but they were ignored.

"So is there anywhere you want to go?", Draco asked Ginny.

Ginny thought for a moment before replying, "Honeydukes".

The two made their way to Honeydukes where they found the Golden Trio just exiting the shop. "Great, now I don't have to look for them", Draco thought to himself. He slid his arm around Ginny's waist and pulled her to him causing her to yelp in surprise. "This oughtta get their attention", Draco thought to himself smirking.

"MALFOY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SISTER!", Ron yelled angrily.

"I'm just taking a stroll with my date Weasely", Draco replied calmly, doing his best not to laugh at the shocked expressions on the Trio's faces.

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't see Parkinson anywhere!", Ron yelled his face turning has red has his hair.

"I think you know exactly what I'm talking about Weasely", Draco said smirking, "your precious little sister's become my new girl".

Ron looked has if he was about to explode. Hermione looked shocked and was busy trying to restrain Ron. The expression on Harry's face was a mix between anger, hurt, and shock. "Oh God this is priceless. I wish that Creevey bloke was here. I'd pay him fifty galleons for picture of this", Draco thought to himself.

"Ginny come on. We're taking you away from this scum", Ron said attempting to grab her hand and pull her away.

What happened next surprised the Golden Trio even further, as well as Draco. Ginny yanked her hand away from Ron angrily.

"Ginny what's the matter with you? You can't actually want to stay with him"

"Maybe I do", Ginny snapped at her older brother.

Ginny was enjoying this more than she thought she would. She was still kind of mad about losing a bet to Draco but she had no problem about getting back at her three so called friends.

"Why don't you three just leave us alone!", Ginny yelled at them.

"How can we leave you alone when you're with Malfoy of all people!", Harry asked her, "he's probably just using you to get revenge on me for putting his Death Eater father in prison!"

"Or maybe he decided he liked me and asked me out on a date! Did that ever occur to you?", Ginny yelled.

Not waiting for a reply Ginny took Draco's arm and turned to leave. "I think I'll just give them something to think about", Ginny thought to herself feeling a smirk forming on her face. She wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and kissed his lips. It was a quick kiss, nothing too passionate, but Ron's temper exploded when it happened.

Before Harry or Hermione could restrain him Ron had lunged at Draco. Luckily for him his reflexes were faster than Ron. Draco easily sidestepped Ron and put a full body bind on him. Draco took Ginny's hand and lead her back to Hogwarts.

Once they were back walking through the school halls they both instantly broke out laughing.

"Oh God, the expression on their faces was priceless", Draco said.

"I know. Ron looked like someone painted his entire face red", Ginny said laughing.

Draco glared at her.

"What?"

"You're not supposed to be enjoying this Weasely", Draco said to her, "you lost remember? This is supposed to be hell for you not enjoyment".

"I know", Ginny said grinning up at him, "but who says I can't use it to my advantage?"

"Using your loss to your advantage? That's very Slytherin of you. It's a wonder you and I aren't in the same house Weasely"

"I almost was", Ginny said.

Draco raised an eyebrow, "what went wrong?"

"I got scared of how my family would react and asked to be put into Gryffindor", Ginny replied.

Draco shook his head. "Christ Weasely. You let your family control you too much".

"I don't let anyone control me", she snapped back at him.

"You go ahead and think that. See you later Weasely", Draco said walking off down the corridor.

---- ---- ---- ----

Ginny made her way through the Slytherin Common Room. The Slytherins by now were used to her presence and pretty much ignored her has she made her way to Pansy's room. Pansy had demanded that Ginny tell her everything about the 'date' and Ginny knew the futility of refusing. Ginny opened the door to Pansy's room and found her sitting on her bed with a pile of books around her.

"How'd it go?", Pansy asked excitedly forgetting all about the transfiguration homework she'd been doing.

"Do you want to short version or the long version?", Ginny asked sitting down.

"The long version of course", Pansy said.

Reluctantly, Ginny told Pansy what had transpired in Hogsmede. When she was done Pansy's eyes were as wide has bowling balls.

"You kissed him!?", Pansy said, "how was it?"

"I only did it to piss off Ron and you know it", Ginny said glaring at Pansy.

"You keep telling yourself that Gin", Pansy said giggling, "You wouldn't have kissed him if you weren't attracted to him"

"I DO NOT LIKE DRACO MALFOY!", Ginny yelled at Pansy.

Pansy didn't seem to hear her.

"I can see it now. The Slytherin Prince and the Gryffindor Princess", Pansy said.

"Pansy I'm warning you", Ginny growled in a low voice.

"Calm down I'm just playing", Pansy said.

Ginny would've believed her, had it not been for the glint of mischief in her friends eyes. Growing up with brothers like Fred and George had taught her that a look like that meant mischief. Suddenly she was very suspicious of Pansy and she was sure it showed on her face.

"Pansy what are you up to?"

"What makes you think I'm up to something Ginny?"

"Never mind", Ginny said suddenly wanting to change the subject, "say do you know who Blaise is sneaking off to meet?"

That got her attention. "No! But I know its someone in Ravenclaw……."

Ginny released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Ginny had become very touchy about Draco Malfoy whenever she talked to Pansy. Ever since she found out about the bet Pansy had been nagging her about Draco. "Probably because she wants us to stop trying to kill each other", Ginny thought to herself.

---- ---- ---- ----

Draco flew through the air on his broomstick. He loved to fly. It helped him clear his thoughts. Right now his thoughts were on a certain redhead. She had kissed him. That was something that caught him completely by surprise. He had known that Ginny had a fiery attitude, that temper of hers gave that away. But still, he never expected her to do something so unexpected.

Besides, the kiss had been so quick it had barely registered in his brain. But still, he couldn't get it out of his mind. "Damn that girl", Draco thought to himself. It was bad enough that he already found her attractive. "The way Pansy's got her dressing its not hard to notice", he mused to himself.

Sighing, Draco landed and headed to the locker rooms. After showering and making his way back to the castle, he decided to head for the Slytherin Common Room.

When he got there he was just in time to see Ginny leaving. Blaise had given her the password and none of the other Slytherins seemed to really care.

"You know Weasely if you want to get in my bedroom you'll have to get in line. You see I'm quite popular with ladies", he said plastering his smirk on his face.

"Someone's delusional", Ginny said back to him.

"You know for my girlfriend you're not very nice to me", Draco said to her.

Ginny rolled her eyes at him, "oh please Malfoy. We both know that after this month is over we'll both go back to being sworn enemies"

"Or maybe you'll fall madly in love with me", Draco said a playful expression suddenly appearing on his face.

"See what I mean about delusional. Seriously Malfoy I think you should get help before you wind up in a loony bin", Ginny said to him.

"Or maybe I'm not so delusional", Malfoy said his tone changing.

---- ---- ---- ----

Suddenly Ginny was pinned against the wall. She could feel Draco's breath on her neck and it made her shiver. She tried to resist her bodies urges but she didn't have the willpower to do so. No boy she had ever been with had ever made her feel like this. She could feel his hands running down her thigh.

"You know you can't resist my charm Ginny", he said bringing his face close to hers……


I think I'll just end this with a little cliffhanger. I know, I'm evil. Anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter up by next weekend or sometime next week. I'm also thinking of starting up another DracoxGinny fic so look out for that.
