A/N: So like I told you I wanted this to all be in one chapter but I had to slice it up. I hope you like it and it looks like a lemon won't be in this one either the more that I write the bigger the file gets and it's very hard to upload a large file.
By the time Lavender and Ginny got back to the castle was around 5:30. Ginny clutched the bag that was carrying her dream dress. The one that she had had her eye on for some time now, this dress was the reason why she even signed up to be a tutor. It was a strapless, empire waist, and forest green. It flowed down to the floor but had a slit up to her knees. There was a gold band around her bust and little embroidered golden leaves that trailed down the sides. Ginny couldn't believe that she actually got it and people would have to rip it from her dead fingers if they wanted it.
"My goodness I want to go get ready right now!" Lavender yelled as they walked down the halls to their dorms.
"Well since everyone is practically going to the dance, minus some first years. I think getting ready right now makes a lot of sense." Ginny smiled, all day Lavender couldn't talk about anything else besides the dance and Theo, which was a nice change from talking about Ginny and Draco.
"Oh and don't think that I haven't forgot what you told me this afternoon." Lavender said. "Whooping Lizard." She said and the porthole opened up. "We are going to make you the most beautiful girl at that dance." Lavender added. They walked into the common room and the whole room was filled with students. Girls were running in and out of the lavatories while the boys were fooling around. Someone conjured a pool table and most of them were either watching or playing. Ginny looked over to the back corner and Harry, Ron, Dean, and Cormac were watching and playing wizards chess. "Merlin, it's like mayhem in here." Lavender breathed looking around at the mess that was the common room.
"I told you that it was a good idea to get ready now." Ginny laughed. "Besides Lavender I don't think some make-up and a nice dress will make him just fall in love with me." Ginny added as they pushed their way up to their rooms.
"Are you kidding Ginny? Men are just like babies sometimes." Lavender laughed.
"What? Men are like babies?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.
"I mean when you have a baby you give them something shiny or colorful to get and to keep their attention." Lavender explained. "So we're going to make you that colorful, shiny, something." Lavender winked.
"Lavender that sounds ridiculous." Ginny laughed.
"I know it does, but it's true." Lavender smiled widely.
"If you say so." Ginny giggled and grabbed her towel and went down to take her shower.
Ginny and Lavender walked down with the rest of the Gryffindor girls to the Great Hall at a quarter to 8. They all stood in front of the Great Hall as the girls from the other houses appeared.
"Nice dress." Someone said in Ginny's direction. Ginny turned around and Katie Bell was standing in front of her with her arms crossed.
"Ummm thanks Katie." Ginny said nervously. Katie looked her over and then slowly made her way to the other side of the mob.
"I told you." Lavender nudged Ginny in the ribs.
"Please." Ginny rolled her eyes. "Did you see the daggers that she was throwing at me with her eyes." Ginny whispered.
"Precisely! She's jealous that you look much better than her." Lavender smiled.
"Alright!" A loud voice rumbled throughout the corridors. Everyone looked over at the entrance of the Great Hall. The doors were closed and Hermione was standing on a chair, her wand was to her throat making her voice boom. "So the boys are now on the other side of these doors." Hermione continued but was interrupted as all of the girls started to giggle and chattering amongst themselves. "Hey!" Hermione yelled and everyone started to pay attention again. "Like I was saying." Hermione said with annoyance in her voice. "I hope that none of you brought your wands because they are prohibited from this point on. If you have your then bring it to the front now." Hermione said. Only a few girls actually moved and gave the prefects their wands. "And if for any reason we think you have a wand or you are caught with a wand inside of the Great Hall you will be asked to leave and escorted out." Hermione announced. A few more girls then moved to the front and gave the prefects their wands. "Alright, now we can start. We are now going to call you all up one at a time randomly. In the sorting hat there are pieces of paper with a number on it, when your name is called you will come up and pick out one piece of paper. I will than read the number out loud into this microphone that leads into the Great Hall, after that I'll give you one of these little black mask." Hermione said as she held up a little black mask that looked like it would cover around a person's eyes and the bridge of their nose. "We have charmed these mask to cling to your faces. Only the person who put the mask on can take it off." Hermione said.
"That must be where Draco and Theo got the idea." Lavender whispered to Ginny. Ginny nodded but then started to pay attention to Hermione again because she suddenly felt someone glaring at her. When she looked at Hermione, she wasn't even looking in Ginny's general direction. As Ginny looked around, she did find the glaring eyes of many of the girls around her. Ginny ignored the glares and returned to listening to Hermione.
"Anyway the way that this works is that every guy who came tonight was given a number. The number that you pick one of the guys have it, when a guys number is called he will then step out of the line up. So this is the way that we are going to pick your dates for tonight." Hermione said with a smile. Moans filed the air of the corridors, Hermione and the other girl prefects were still smiling though.
"Oh great." Lavender whispered to Ginny. "So we can get stuck with some loser." She added.
"I'm not done yet!" Hermione said and everyone started to listen to her again. "Thanks to the Head boy we have also added a little something." Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes when she said 'Head Boy'. "However before you enter the Great Hall you will have to think of what ever guy that you want to be your date. Whomever you think about will then be the face, hair, and voice of your date. That's right! Whomever you want, famous or not, dead or not." Hermione explained. "After you see your dream date, you then think of someone else and then the rest of guys will then have that person's face. This way you can't figure out who is your actual date." Hermione explained. Whispers started to rumble through the corridors, this time without the groans. "Any questions?" Hermione asked.
"So we don't know who the guys are but can they see who we are?" Cho Chang asked.
"Well they will be able to see everything that your mask isn't hiding. This is more for the girls then for the boys really. What did you call it Mindy?" Hermione asked looking into the crowd.
"A Sadie Hawkins dance silly." A girl said with a little twang. Ginny looked over and the blonde twins stood only a few feet from her. They weren't blonde anymore, but Ginny could tell that it was them. They were getting glares too, but it was more likely because their skirts were so high that Ginny thought that there couldn't be anyway that they could sit down without flashing everyone else.
"Oh Merlin the slutty twins are here." Lavender groan as she also looked over at the twins attire.
"When you introduce yourself, make up a name to make it more fun. And if you think that you won't remember your fake name, then make up a name that starts with the same letter. At midnight everyone will take off their mask and you will see who was your date." Hermione was still talking about the dance.
"You don't think that Dra…he will go after one of them?" Ginny whispered looking over at the twins.
"What? Oh gods no Ginny!" Lavender said shaking her head. "He's crazy about you there is no way that he could think either one of them are you or even want one of them." Lavender said. "Remember he even said that they aren't his type." She added. She was right Draco did say that he hated it when girls try too hard.
"Oh gods!" Ginny said and grabbed Lavender's arm. "I'm such an idiot!" Ginny said shaking her head.
"What? Why are you an idiot?" Lavender asked.
"He told me that he hates it when girls try too hard." Ginny said putting her head into her hands.
"So?" Lavender asked still a little confused.
"Look at me Lav! I think this goes under the idea of me trying to hard!" Ginny almost yelled. Some girls looked over at them, but then paid attention to Hermione. Hermione had already started to call names out.
"Ginny this isn't you trying too hard. That!" Lavender said pointing to the twins. "Now that's trying to hard." She said smiling at Ginny. Ginny smiled and laughed a little as Mindy was called. She swung her hips as she walked as if she was walking in front of a room of guys. "Yuck! Slut." Lavender said with a disgusted look.
"I'm scared." Ginny whispered.
"There's nothing to be scared about. Whomever you get stuck with, just dump them and start searching for Draco." Lavender said.
"Just dump them? I can't just do that. I'll feel bad." Ginny said shaking her head.
"Ginny…"Lavender was saying.
"Ginny Weasley!" Hermione said. Ginny jumped a little at the sound of her name but then she realized that it was her turn to go up. Lavender pushed her ahead eagerly and waved. Ginny walked up to Hermione who gave her, her mask and passed her the sorting hat. Ginny put her hand in the hat and fished around of a few seconds and picked up a folded piece of paper and handed it to Hermione. Hermione looked Ginny up and down and rolled her eye as she took the piece of paper.
"117." Hermione read into a microphone. Ginny placed her mask on her face and like the sheet at the toga party, it molded to her face. "You look very pretty tonight." Hermione said moving her wand from her throat.
"Ummm…thanks." Ginny grumbled.
"I hope that you're not trying to impress someone special." Hermione whispered.
"And what if I am?" Ginny snapped.
"It's a lost cause Gin, he has moved on." Hermione whispered. Ginny rolled her eyes and then closed them. She started to think about Draco and how she hoped that he would find her. Suddenly the Great Hall doors opened and without even looking at Hermione again, Ginny walked through them as she thought about Draco. She opened her eyes and the Great Hall looked beautiful. The charmed ceiling was totally clear and a half crescent moon appeared high while stars just glistened and dance around it. The walls were draped with light blue drapes covering the windows. There were so many little tables that fit at least 6 people. The tablecloths were a light orange and had brown napkins and red candles floating above them. Ginny looked to the center of the Great Hall and a guy stood in front of her waiting. She couldn't make out the face but as she got closer it wasn't hard for her to realize that it was Draco, well he looked like Draco at least. Ginny walked up to him. As she walked she glanced to her right and a line of well-dressed wizards stood. They all had the faces of Blaise, Ginny didn't even realized that that she had even thought of him. They were all staring at Ginny though and a few were whispering to others. Ginny turned her attention back to the Draco look alike. She stopped right in front of him.
"Good evening." The Draco look alike said as he bowed slightly.
"Good evening." Ginny smiled.
"I'm Damian." The Draco look a like said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ginger." Ginny made up a name like Hermione suggested.
"I know that you were suppose to make up a name so that I wouldn't know who you are, but it's not hard to guess." Damian said.
"What? How do you know?" Ginny asked confused.
"The hair." Damian smiled.
"Oh yeah, maybe I should have dyed it or something to make it more of a challenge." Ginny giggled. Damian smiled and chuckled himself.
"Shall we sit?" He asked and pointed to an empty table in the back.
"Yes of course." Ginny nodded her head. It was very awkward to sit with a total stranger, well at the moment he was a stranger. It was even stranger when the total stranger was staring at her with Draco's beautiful silver eyes. Ginny just kept her head towards the doors and watched as the rest of the girls came. She could see Damian looking at her and smiling, but soon everyone was in the Great Hall with their secret dates. Ginny watched as Lavender and her date came in and sat at a different table. Damn it I was hoping that she would see me and sit over here. Well I guess I should start some small talk with him before I ditch him. Ginny thought. Ginny turned towards Damian and he was still smiling slightly at her. Ginny smiled back and took in a deep breath, "So since you know who I am, why don't we play a little game so I can guess who you are?" Ginny asked. Damian nodded his head and smiled Draco's beautiful smile.
"That sounds fair enough." Damian nodded. "I just have one rule." He added.
"Go ahead." Ginny said.
"You can't ask me what House I'm in." Damian said.
"That sounds fair enough, it would be very easy if I could." Ginny nodded. "Since I can't ask you that, I have to ask you something else." Ginny said out loud. "Are you my year?" Ginny asked she figured that that was a fair question.
"No." Damian shook his head. "Is there a limit to your questions?" He asked.
"I guess that there should be huh?" Ginny said.
"To be fair." Damian nodded his head.
"Alright how about 20?" Ginny asked. "Not counting the one that I've already asked." She added quickly.
"Alright." Damian chuckled.
"Hey mate!" Someone said and a Blaise look alike and a masked Lavender walked over. Damian smiled as they walked over.
"Hey…"Damian looked like he was trying to think.
"Thomas." The Blaise look alike said with a smile. "And you are…" Now Thomas looked like he was thinking.
"Damian." Damian smiled.
"Right, right!" Thomas smiled. It was obvious that they knew each other's real names but never disclosed to each other what their fake names would be. "And this lovely figure is Lauren." Thomas said pointing to the masked Lavender.
"And this is Ginger." Damian said pointing to Ginny.
"Umm do you two mind if I steal Ginger away for a bit?" Lavender asked.
"No of course not." Damian smiled as Thomas sat down next to him. Ginny got up and they walked a few tables away.
"So do you think that that is Theo? I was with my date and he came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance. My date said sure and the next thing that I see is my date making out with one of the slutty twins." Lavender explained.
"It sounds like Theo. I mean to me he just looks like Blaise." Ginny said.
"Wait you made all of the other guys look like Blaise?" Lavender laughed.
"Yeah, bad choice. Maybe I should have made them look like Draco so I would have some ambition to go and find him instead of being captured by the fake Draco's charm." Ginny said.
"Ooo so he's charming?" Lavender asked.
"Well I'm not sure if he's charming or I just think he's charming because all that I see is Draco." Ginny shrugged her shoulders. "And what about you? Did you make your date look like Theo?" Ginny asked.
"No I didn't the opposite of you. I made the other guys look like Theo while my date looks like Colins." Lavender laughed and Ginny joined her.
"Well I'm trying to figure out who my date is since he knew who I was right off the bat." Ginny explained.
"I well Ginny it's not hard to point you out with your hair." Lavender said twisting a lock of Ginny's hair.
"Yeah I know. That's why I hope that Draco will come and get me soon, since it's so easy to figure me out." Ginny smiled as they walked back to the table.
"Lauren do you want to go and get some punch?" Thomas asked.
"Why not." Lavender smiled and they headed over to the punch table. Ginny sat back down and gave a sweet smile to Damian. He flashed back his own smile, which made Ginny melt. She really missed Draco and she would do almost anything to just be able to see him or kiss him right now.
"So are we back to asking questions?" Damian asked.
"That's right." Ginny said and then tapped her finger on her chin as if she was thinking. "Ok so you're not my year, so are you older than me?" Ginny asked.
"Yes." Damian said bluntly and picked up a cracker from the tray on the table and bit into it.
"Hmmm, do you play quidditch?" Ginny asked. That would help her narrow the population down.
"Yes." Damian smiled and nodded. "Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I should have put that in the rules too." He joked and winked at her.
"Too late." Ginny giggled. She felt her heart skip a beat when he winked at her but she thought that it was just because in her eyes it was Draco winking at her. "Alright so you play quidditch." Ginny said out loud.
"Before you continue your questions I have one for you." Damian said.
"Go ahead." Ginny nodded.
"You played quidditch last year right?" Damian asked.
"Yes I was a chaser." Ginny smiled and nodded.
"And if I remember you were really good. So why did you stop?" Damian asked.
"Well I love playing quidditch, but I went to hogsmade with Fred and George this summer and I saw this dress." Ginny explained. "I went into the store and I definitely couldn't afford it at the time. So when Professor McGonagall asked me to tutor this year. I said yes, that way I could pay for this dress, and have some left over for Christmas." Ginny explained.
"So couldn't you do both?" Damian asked.
"Well my study session with the student that I'm teaching would have conflicted with my practice times." Ginny explained.
"Why didn't you just tell Potter that, he's the captain he could have changed the times for you." Damian laughed.
"Yeah right." Ginny laughed. "Harry would have made every practice at the same time as my tutoring every time so that I would have to choose." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Why the hell would he do that? Aren't you guys still friends?" Damian asked and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes we are friends but he hates my student and would try anything to keep me away from him." Ginny said.
"Who is he?" Damian asked.
"Draco Malfoy." Ginny said quietly.
"Oh!" Damian said shocked. "Yeah Potter would definitely try to keep you away from that snake." Damian grumbled. Alright he's no way Draco unless Draco is being a really good actor. Ginny thought.
"Draco is not a snake." Ginny said rolling her eyes.
"You call him Draco?" Damian said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, we're friends." Ginny said proudly.
"Have you always been friends?" Damian asked confused.
"Well, no but we got to know each other while I tutored him." Ginny said slowly.
"Oh. I can see why Potter really doesn't want you to be around him." Damian grumbled.
"What does that mean?" Ginny asked getting a little defensive.
"Ginger come on! He's Draco Malfoy. He's known as a womenizer." Damian rolled his eyes.
"Well that is true but what does that have anything to do with me being friends with him?" Ginny asked.
"Girls aren't just friends with Draco Malfoy." Damian shook his head.
"Well there's a first for everything." Ginny shrugged. She was starting to get annoyed with him.
"I guess." Damian nodded he must have realized that she was getting annoyed. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds, until Damian broke the silence. "So why don't you ask me something else about my quidditch playing?" Damian suggested.
"Alright." Ginny paused. "Who's your favorite team?" Ginny asked with out much enthusiasm.
"The Holyhead Harpies can't do any wrong in my opinion." Damian shrugged. Ginny looked at him with huge eyes.
"You like The Holyhead Harpies?" Ginny asked with life in her eyes. Damian nodded his head and smiled.
"And you?" Damian asked.
"I absolutely love the Holyhead Harpies." Ginny said smiling wide. Alright, this guy isn't as bad as I thought. I mean even I had my opinions about Draco before I got to know him. Ginny thought.
"Really?" Damian smiled and raised an eyebrow. "And here I thought that you would like someone like Bulgaria with Victor Krum." Damian shrugged.
"Not every girl is head over heels for Victor Krum." Ginny laughed. "I however actually know about talent." Ginny smiled.
"Oooo I sensed some venom with that remark." Damian laughed.
"That's because Victor is just a pretty boy." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"But he has to be good enough to actually catch the snitch to win so many times." Damian pointed out.
"Don't tell me that you are a Victor supporter." Ginny sighed deeply.
"Who me? Of course not he's a total prick in my book." Damian laughed and Ginny joined.
"Ok good. Now your back on my good side." Ginny smiled.
"Well I'm glad of that. I wouldn't want to be on any other side." Damian said smoothly. Ginny tried really hard not to start blushing, so instead she just changed the subject back to quidditch. "So I'm not going to ask you what position you play since that wouldn't be very fun." She explained and bit her lower lip as she started into his silvery eyes. "So how about this question; do you have a line of family members that have gone to Hogwarts?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, some more famous than others." Damian smiled. Ok so chances are, that he's a pure blood. Just like Draco. Oh come off of it Ginny! What are the chances of you picking Draco's number? Like a billion to one! Plus he acted like he hated Draco just a moment ago. Ginny yelled at herself, but she knew that she was right. It wasn't very likely that this guy was Draco.
"Alright, lets talk about your family. Do you have any siblings?" Ginny asked.
"Nope, I'm an only child." Damian shook his head.
"Wow, that must have sucked." Ginny let slip out. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." Ginny said trying to cover herself.
"No, no, no. It's ok it did suck growing up with no siblings. You had to count of your friends to be your siblings and even then sometimes they couldn't be there for you like a real sibling could have." Damian explained. "I mean you must know about that." He added.
"Yeah well don't get me wrong having a lot of siblings has it's downfalls." Ginny rolled her eyes. "Especially when you're the only girl." She added.
"I couldn't imagine." Damians shook his head.
"Well everyone thinks that you can't do anything that your brothers do. And even if you did, then you did good for a girl's standard." Ginny explained. "And of course they are always trying to protect you." She added.
"Yes I see that a lot with Ron. Fred and George really never did though, at least not from what I saw." Damian said.
"No, you're right. Fred and George really didn't think that I needed much protecting. If anything other people needed protecting from me, in their eyes I mean." Ginny smiled. Damian smiled back and lean in a little. Ginny followed suit and lean in a little herself.
"I'm sorry for not saying this before and I'm also sorry if I embarrass you for saying it now." Damian said and then paused. "But you look absolutely beautiful tonight." He said with a smile. Ginny couldn't help but smile back and she felt her cheeks getting a little red too. "I'm sorry I've embarrass you." Damian said in a cool smooth voice.
"No, it's fine." Ginny smiled again then she looked back up at him. "Thank you though." She said.
"Anytime." Damian winked. Ginny's heart fluttered a little bit when he did. This time Ginny had the feeling that it was because of what he said and how he said it and not because he looked like Draco. "And from what I've seen of you, I don't think that you need any protecting either." He added.
"Thanks." Ginny laughed and popped a grape from the food tray into her mouth.
"Do you have another question for me?" Damian asked.
"Are you're parents still together?" Ginny asked. She was glad that he had changed the subject. She felt like he was staring at her very intently. He was still doing it but she felt better about it when she was talking.
"Unfortunately." Damian rolled his eyes.
"Oh?" Ginny asked.
"My father is a real prick." Damian explained quickly. That's when the smallest thought of this guy being Draco fell out of Ginny's head. There was no way that it was Draco. It was a widely known fact that Draco adored his father, and wished that he could be just like his father.
"Oh sorry to hear that." Ginny said. She now wished that she didn't even bring it up.
"Don't be. I said that you could ask me anything." Damian shrugged.
"So what kind of music do you like?" Ginny smiled and asked.
"Well I like some Werewolf destiny, very few Weird Sisters songs, and Goblin's Heed." Damian listed off.
"You like Goblin's Heed?" Ginny asked with a smile.
"Yeah, what don't tell me. You don't like them?" Damian asked and rolled his eyes playfully.
"Well I use to not like them." Ginny shrugged. "Until a friend had me listen to a song and now I think that I'm beginning to like them." Ginny smiled looking up at Draco's face.
"You got a smart friend there." Damian smiled. "I wouldn't let them go." He added with a laugh.
"I wasn't planning on it." Ginny smiled into silver eyes.
"So can I ask you a question?" Damian asked.
"Sure why not." Ginny said.
"Who did you make all of the other guys look like?" Damian asked in a small whisper. "If you don't mind me asking of course." He added.
"No I don't mind." Ginny said shaking her head. "I made them into Blaise Zabini." Ginny said nonchalantly.
"Blaise Zabini? Why him?" Damian asked, he looked a little more stiff than before and maybe a little jealous.
"Well I went on like two dates with him and I really don't care for him. I mean he can be sweet and all but we just didn't click. And I guess he was just the second guy that popped into my head. I rather it be him than someone like my brother or Harry." Ginny said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah seeing a thousand of your brother or Potter would be a bit annoying." Damian nodded his head. Potter. He has been saying Potter! Draco calls him Harry, Potter. But wait remember Damian hates his dad while Draco doesn't. Stop giving yourself hope! Ginny yelled. I guess it really doesn't matter. It's not like you're not having fun with the guy and he seems really nice and cute. Well he looks cute because he looks like Draco, but he does sound cute. Ginny thought. "So who did you make me look like?" Damian asked. Ginny looked up at Draco's face, she wanted to with all of her being to say Draco's name but she knew what scandal that would cause.
"I can't say." Ginny smiled and shook her head.
"Embarrassing?" Damian smirked.
"No not embarrassing." Ginny shook her head again. "It's someone who goes to Hogwarts." Ginny said in almost a whisper. Damian smiled again and perked up a little as she said that.
"A crush?" He asked and lifted an eyebrow.
"Yes." Ginny nodded.
"A deep crush?" Damian asked.
"Yes." Ginny nodded and she felt her ears get a little red.
"Has it been long?" Damian asked. "I'm sorry with all of these questions, it's very rude of me." Damian said shaking his head.
"No, it's ok. I guess I don't mind since you don't know who it is." Ginny smiled. "But no it hasn't been long. It's very recent." Ginny answered.
"I can only assume that you won't name names." Damian said.
"I've just come to terms of my feelings for him recently and only my best friend knows, so no." Ginny smiled and shook her head.
"Fair enough." Damian said. Ginny thought that she saw him smile too but when she looked at him he looked at the dance floor. "Hey, do you want to dance?" Damian asked suddenly.
"I would love to." Ginny said and they both stood up and walked to the dance floor. He was an actually good dancer. He wasn't making up new moves and impressing everyone, but he wasn't stepping on Ginny's toes and bumping into everyone either. They danced for a good hour and at one point he got really close and Ginny pictured him grabbing her waist and kissing her; she was actually ok with that. When he didn't, Ginny knocked that idea out of her head and they continued dancing. At one point Lavender and Thomas came and joined them for a few songs and then Katie Bell and her date randomly joined them too. After an hour and a half of dancing they were both tried and they head back to their table. "You're a pretty good dancer." Ginny said as they sat back down.
"Why thank you very much! You may want to write that down as a reminder for trying to figure out who I am." Damian smirked.
"I'll do that." Ginny laughed.
"So would you say that tonight is going well?" Damian asked with a twinkle in his eye.
"Yeah I would say that." Ginny smiled. "Why?" she asked.
"Well I just wanted to know if it would be alright if I kissed you." Damian said with a charming smile. Ginny was stunned; she didn't know what to say. The thought of him kissing her did cross her mind, but it was a very brief moment.
"Ummm…" Ginny opened her mouth but nothing came out.
"I'll take that as a no, then." Damian said looking around like he was embarrass.
"No. Well yes, I mean no." Ginny rambled.
"I'm lost." Damian said shaking his head.
"It's not a total no. I mean I would like to get to know you better. I guess my real answer is maybe." Ginny sighed.
"So there's a chance?" Damian raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Ginny smiled.
"I like the sound of 'maybe'." Damian nodded and a smiled returned to his face.
"Ok since it's getting closer to midnight I'm going to start to ask the more reveling questions." Ginny said trying to change the subject completely.
"That seems fair." Damian smiled.
"Ok so you said that you play quidditch." Ginny said. Damian nodded his head. "So I've been thinking about this and I'm glad that I thought of it." Ginny smiled. "Just because you play quidditch doesn't mean you play for your House." Ginny said slyly.
"You are a very smart girl." Damian smiled and nodded at her.
"So do you play quidditch for your House?" Ginny asked.
"Yes." Damian smiled.
"Alright. Now are you a beater?" Ginny asked.
"No way." Damian said with a disgusted look.
"Alright! Alright! It was just a question." Ginny laughed and Damian joined her. "So you're not a beater. Are you a Keeper?" Ginny asked.
"That would be a negative." Damian shook his head.
"Alright so you're not a Keeper or a Beater." Ginny said as a recap.
"You got it." Damian beamed at her.
"Very interesting." Ginny giggled as she tapped the table with her fingers.
"Don't look now, but I think your brother is heading his way over here." Damian whispered as he looked over Ginny.
"Oh gods! I really don't want to deal with them now!" Ginny said shaking her head.
"Come on then." Damian held out his hand and Ginny quickly grabbed it. She followed him behind some pillars and then behind the light blue drapes. There was a corridor hidden behind them and a few more little dark hallways and some doors. "Come on." Damian said and pulled Ginny into one of the dark alleyways.
"Ron what are you doing?" Ginny heard Hermione's voice.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm looking for my little sister." Ron said and he didn't sound very pleased.
"Why in the world would she be back here?" Hermione asked getting annoyed.
"I saw her run back her with that snake." Ron growled.
"Well it doesn't look like they are back here." Hermione said and started to tap her foot on the floor.
"You don't have to stay here Hermione." Ron hissed as he passed where Damian and Ginny were hiding.
"Are you kidding? If I don't stay god knows what you'll do." Hermione sighed.
"Fine, whatever they aren't here." Ron growled.
"I told you." Hermione sighed again. Ron passed Ginny and Damian's hiding spot again but this time he paused right in front of them. Ginny was glad that it was too dark for him to see very deep into the hallway and Damian's black dress robe was covering most of them anyway. "Ron!" Hermione whined.
"Alright!" Ron sighed and they both left. Neither Damian nor Ginny said anything for a while, making sure that they really left.
"I think the coast is clear." Damian whispered and turned towards Ginny. They were nose-to-nose and his dress robe was still covering them. Ginny felt herself leaning into him, and even though she couldn't see his face in the darkness she could feel his breath against her skin. Ginny closed her eyes and suddenly she had goose bumps just thinking about kissing him. "We should go." He finally whispered and threw the robe off of them and stood up. He held his hand down to her and she took it gingerly. They crept out of the hallway and they heard Harry's voice.
"Did you look down the hallway's?" Harry asked. His voice was very close and Ginny didn't know what to do. She felt Damian take her hand again and he pulled towards a door.
"In here." He whispered and they quickly ran into the closet. Damian locked the door and they waited.
"No I didn't look. Hermione was too impatient." Ron said.
"He looked in all of the closets, he was getting ridiculous." Hermione said trying to defend herself.
"Well it's not like we wouldn't have seen them if they left." Harry said.
"Exactly." Hermione. "So they can't be still here even if they were here in the first place." She pointed out.
"I guess." Harry said.
"Well I have to go. It's almost midnight." Hermione said and they heard her footsteps leave.
"She's right you know. We just looked down all of these hallways and if you looked in all of these closets before, than there is no way that they are still here." Harry said to Ron.
"Yeah, maybe it just looked like they went back here." Ron said out loud.
"Come on." Harry said and soon they heard Ron and Harry's footsteps leave too. The closet was very dark, but Damian lifted his hand and clicked on the light. The closet was very small and Ginny and Damian were crushed between all of the shelving and extra desk and chairs that took up most of the space. Just so they fit in the small space Damian had to place his hands on Ginny's waist; there was no other place for them, and Ginny placed her hands on his chest. Ginny looked up at him and his silver eyes, well Draco's silver eyes, captured her.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Damian whispered.
"What?" Ginny asked she wasn't paying that much attention.
"Have you figured out who I am?" Damian asked.
"Oh, no I don't think so." Ginny smiled and shook her head.
"Do you think the coast is clear?" Damian asked motioning to the door.
"I don't know, last time we thought that they were gone and they weren't." Ginny shrugged.
"I guess waiting a few more minutes won't kill us." Damian smiled.
"So where do you live?" Ginny asked awkwardly. Damian stifled a laughed and looked down at her.
"Up by Dragon Cove." He smiled.
"Oooo tres riche." Ginny mocked. Damian smiled. (A/N: That's French for very rich in case someone didn't know)
"So, not to be too pushy but since we are here." Damian said but kind of trailed off. Ginny quickly got the hint and looked down. Ginny what about Draco? What are you talking about? He was suppose to find you tonight. He said that he would and it's not like it's hard to find you in the crowd and he still hasn't. He obviously doesn't have the same feelings for you as you do for him. Ginny fought with herself.
"Ummm, yes." Ginny nodded and then looked up at Damian and smiled. He smiled back and started to lean down. "But." She said quickly and Damian stopped. "Can you take your mask off?" Ginny asked.
"I think that I can do that for you." Damian joked. Damian raised his hands to his face and knocked over a chair that fell backwards and it actually gave them more space. Apparently there was plenty of room in the back of the closet. Damian smiled at Ginny and then pushed the desk that the chair was sitting on and gave them even more room. "Better?" Damian asked.
"Much." Ginny nodded and hopped on the cleared off desk.
"Why don't we do this at the same time?" Damian asked.
"But you know who I am already?" Ginny laughed.
"I just want to make sure." Damian winked.
"Alright." Ginny giggled.
"On the count of three." Damian smiled. Both of their hands were on their mask. Ginny turned her head so that Damian couldn't see her face. "What are you doing?" Damian chuckled.
" I want to make a dramatic entrance." Ginny joked.
"Alright." Damian chuckled. "1…2…3." Damian counted. Ginny took her mask off and smoothed out her face and made sure that there wasn't any marks around her nose. She turned towards Damian and he still looked the same. The perfect Draco blonde hair, deep silver eyes, and the small cute Draco smirk.
"I thought that we were both suppose to take them off." Ginny said rolling her eyes. Damian smiled widely and then Ginny realized that he wasn't wearing a mask anymore. Suddenly soft firm lips crashed down onto Ginny's.
