Chapter Twelve

The girls and Colin followed the two Slytherins back to Draco's dorm. They walked through the corridors and the Slytherin common with only the clanking of the girl's heels for sound. Draco said the password and they entered his dorm, heading for the living room. The girls immediately sat down, taking off their shoes and sighing with relief.

"I hate those things." Ginny said, kicking her shoes under the table and rubbing her sore feet. The guys sat down by their respective dates, taking off their jackets and undoing their ties. Blaise pulled a tiny bottle out of his pocket and placed it on the table, before using a wand to return it to it's normal size.

"So you were the one who was spiking the punch." Colin said, taking a look at the bottle and Blaise laughed.

"That bottle there is unopened. I don't know who spiked the punch." Blaise said and Colin handed the bottle back to him. Blaise opened the bottle and was about to take a drink from it when Faye grabbed it from him.

"Whatever happened to ladies first." Faye said smirking. She took a shot from the bottle and handed it to Ginny, who took it gratefully.

"Wouldn't your brother be thrilled to see this." Ginny said to Faye, who just laughed. Ginny took a shot from the bottle and handed it to Veronica.

It didn't take long for the teens to feel the effects of the fire whiskey, but it definatly made a great night. The girls danced to the songs that played that night, singing the songs. Not very good since they were indeed intoxicated.

Blaise looked at Draco and smiled, tossing the empty bottle on the other side of the couch and placing a brand new one on the table. He opened and the girls attention immediately turned to them. Veronica walked over and grabbed the bottle and the girls giggled, making Blaise roll his eyes and toss another bottle towards Draco.


In another hour, the girls were sitting in a circle talking and the guys were laying on separate couching talking to one another.

"Did you have a chance?" Blaise slurred to Draco and Colin looked over at them.

"Chance for what?" Colin asked, having a hard time saying those three words.

"No. I was gonna but Weasel and Potter interrupted." Draco said and Colin sat up, trying to figure out what Draco was trying to do.

"Interrupted what?" Colin asked, blinking a few times to adjust. He was a bit light headed after sitting up.

"Draco here. That one over there." Blaise said, pointing to Draco, making him laugh and Colin look at Draco and then back to Blaise nodding his head. "Is in love with Ginny and he is having quite a hard time telling her." Blaise said and Colin laughed.

"I told Ginny this would happen. I told her the other night. That's when I told her. I said Draco is gonna fall for you or you will fall him. Yep, I told her that. It was the other night in the library that I told her. I told her this would happen." Colin said, that tried to think back to what he said to try and remember if he mentioned that he told her it would happen.

"Wait so you knew, too." Draco said, sitting up and immediately regretting it. He took a shot from the bottle and it made him a little less light headed.

"So did you tell her?" Blaise asked and Draco threw a pillow at him.

"Of course he didn't tell her." Draco said laughing and Colin looked at them confused.

"Oh, I think I forgot to mention that I told her this would happen." Colin said, but for some reason felt like he was repeating himself.

"Told who what her would happen?" Veronica asked, falling onto the couch Colin was on. She giggled and Blaise pulled Faye down by him.

"I think its time for bed." Ginny said, taking Draco's hand and pulling him off the couch.

"I think I like that idea." Draco said, following Ginny. Blaise nodded at Draco as he passed and Draco swung at him, knocking himself over in the process. There was a period of laughing, before Ginny finally got Draco into his room.


Ginny, Faye and Veronica sat in a circle, passing around the bottle and laughing about everything. Everything is much more amusing when it all doesn't seem so real.

"So when did you and Blaise start dated?" Ginny asked, slurring her words as she asked the question she had been trying to ask for five minutes. Faye looked at her hands trying to think when they started dating.

"Since just before Christmas break." Faye said and both Veronica and Faye looked at her shocked. They both swatted at her, amazed that she hadn't told them.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Veronica asked, taking the bottle, having another drink.

"A Slytherin dating a muggleborn is something you take your time with." Faye said and Ginny looked shocked. Of course she knew Faye was a muggleborn, she just never remembered. After all, her older brother Dean was a muggleborn.

"Well it looks like everything turned out well, then." Ginny said happily nodding to Faye who smirked at her.

"Except you and Draco." She said and Veronica grew excited about the fact that they were finally going to confront Ginny.

"What about us? Why does everyone say there is an 'us'?" Ginny asked, frustrated that people kept telling her to open up her feelings.

"Why did you agree to come to the dance with him then?" Faye asked, crossing her arms, losing her balance a bit as she did so.

"Because he asked me to go as friends." Ginny said, shrugging and Veronica sighed.

"Gin, you swore you weren't going to the dance unless you actually liked the person! That no matter what you weren't going with someone who was just a friend. And don't pull that whole 'We're sleeping together' crap on me." Veronica said a little harshly, making Ginny, and Faye, look at her in shock. Ginny quickly wiped the face away and bit her lip, looking away from the girls.

"I guess there could be a chance I have more feelings for him." Ginny said seriously, before continuing. "I mean, it started out so simple. It was just sex. But then we became friends and everything seemed to be more important. I started to find myself jealous that Hermione was sleeping with him. I started to wonder where he was when I was laying in my bed alone at night. I found myself feeling my best when I was laying wrapped up in his arms. But none of that meant anything to me. We were just friends with benefits." She said, and both girls stared at her in shocked.

"Gin, you have feelings for whats his face." Faye said, the name slipping her mind for the moment and Ginny shrugged.

"Yeah, well, it doesn't make a difference. I blocked out the feelings for so long and I kind of shut him down when he tried to tell me earlier. If I refused to believe it then I couldn't get hurt." Ginny said, looking down into her lap. "If I refused to believe I had feelings for him or hear him when he tried to tell me then I couldn't get hurt. It wouldn't end up like my relationship with Harry." Ginny said and the girls remained quiet, drinking the bottle like nothing else, until everything Ginny said seemed less serious and more funny.

"Well you will just have to tell him." Veronica said, pulling Ginny off the ground.

"I am not telling him anything. I may respond if he says something to me, but I am not starting anything." Ginny said and the girls rolled their eyes, knowing very well that Draco would start it without a problem. He has been trying to for a bit now.

"…told her this would happen." Colin said, making a weird face after he spoke.

"Told who what her would happen?" Veronica asked, falling onto the couch Colin was on. She giggled and Blaise pulled Faye down by him. Ginny smiled when she saw how happy the two couples were. She wanted that.

"I think its time for bed." Ginny said, taking Draco's hand and pulling him off the couch. He followed with ease.

"I think I like that idea." Draco said, following Ginny. Blaise nodded at Draco as he passed and Draco swung at him, knocking himself over in the process. There was a period of laughing, before Ginny finally got Draco into his room.

She walked into him room, him right behind her. He shut the door and Ginny pushed him against the door, kissing him with everything she had at the moment. He kissed back and she wrapped her arms around him neck. It was one of those moments that were momentarily blissful.

Draco reached around, playing with the zipper on her dress until her was finally able to undo it. It fell to the floor, leaving Ginny in only her panties. He continued to kiss her, but started moving her to the bed. When he was about to lay her down, Ginny flipped him around, knocking him onto the bed first. She smiled at him as she undid his shirt It took a while for her to figure out the buttons in her drunken state. After she did figure it out, she pulled it off of him, throwing it to the floor, kissing him passionately once more.

Draco flipped her over, pulling off the remaining of her clothing. She pulled on his pants as he kissed her neck. Draco continued to kiss her neck as he removed his pants and boxers. He positioned himself over her, but before he pushed himself inside he stopped and looked at her.

"You are so beautiful." He said and Ginny smiled at him.

"You're not so bad yourself." She said making him laugh a bit.

"I've never done this before and I am not sure how it goes." He said and Ginny looked at him confused. What had he never done before? He certainly has had sex before. "I have never felt like this with anyone before. I am in love with you Ginny." Draco said, feeling so out of character, even as a drunk Draco. Ginny smiled at him, rolling her eyes to herself. So everyone else was right. What else is new?

"I'm in love with you, too." Ginny said and Draco kissed her, never hearing anything so amazing in his entire life.


Ginny walked up the stairs, heading to the Gryffindor tower. She needed to work things out with Harry. She loved him like she loved Ron and she really would hate to lose him as her friend. Even if it took him a while to get over all of this, she still would like to have him in her life.

She smiled at the Fat Lady and said the password. The Fat Lady let her in, happy that it wasn't the middle of the night this time. Ginny climbed in the portrait hole, thinking back to the first time she had down so. She had been so small then that she had a hard time getting in.

Ginny walked into a nearly empty common room, finding only Harry and Hermione in it, talking quietly on the couch. Hermione noticed Ginny first, standing up immediately, ready to fight.

"How can you even show your face here?" Hermione asked, her voice filled with such hate, that Ginny knew that she had better be careful where she stepped. Fighting this early in the morning was not something she wanted to do, especially with a hangover like this.

"I don't have time for this. I need to talk to Harry." Ginny said and Hermione laughed, telling Ginny that she wasn't leaving. Harry to the rescue once more.

"Hermione, let us talk." Harry said quietly, not facing Ginny. Hermione looked at him in shock before storming away, making sure to bump into Ginny on her way out. Ginny sighed, before walking over to the couch and sitting down where Hermione had been sitting.

"I am sorry about last night. I'm just sick of people telling me what I want." Ginny said and Harry scoffed, rolling his eyes.

"I never thought you would be low enough to do something that would hurt Ron, Hermione and me all at once. I never thought you would even be able to look twice at Malfoy." Harry said and Ginny put her hand on his gently.

"Harry, I never expected any of this to happen. I just know that the feelings I had for you when we started out are gone. I love you, but I love you as a brother." Ginny said, giving him time to let it sink in. She took a deep breath and continued. "Harry I need you to understand that I am in love with Draco." Ginny said and Harry pulled his hand away from her and Ginny immediately looked hurt, hoping that he wouldn't take it so hard.

"This is Malfoy we're talking about, Gin. He doesn't love you and you know that this won't last." Harry said and Ginny pouted for a second, knowing that he had no idea what he was talking about. She wasn't self conscious about her relationship with Draco and she knew it was love.

"I want us to be okay Harry." Ginny said simply and Harry sighed and nodded.

"Graduation is in three weeks. After that I am leaving. Don't tell anyone. I want to get away from the 'Golden Boy' name I have. I will not be on the train going home. I am going to leave after the graduation ceremony and I will not look back until the time comes for me to return home." Harry said and Ginny looked at him confused.

"If you're not telling anyone, then why are you telling me?" Ginny asked, afraid he would propose again.

"The option for you to come with. I'm not saying we have to be together, but if things fall apart with Malfoy by then, you are welcome to join." Harry said and Ginny looked at Harry in complete awe. She never knew Harry to run from his problems, especially after the past seven years. Not wanting to continue the conversation, she changed it.

"Did you work out things with Ron?" She asked and Harry seemed to understand that she needed a topic change.

"Kind of. He doesn't want to talk but we did a little last night. He says he is not going let Hermione ruin our friendship, but he needs time. I just hope we can make things right before I leave." Harry said and Ginny nodded.

"What about him and Hermione?" She asked, leaning back against the arm of the couch.

"He doesn't want to talk to her at all. I'm sure he will warm up to her once again eventually. They really love each other, they just need to learn that." Harry said and Ginny nodded, not thrilled that Hermione always cheated on her brother, but they really did love each other.
