Christmas came far quicker than Ginny expected. Draco was back on his feet with little pain and had traveled to Grimald Place during the day. With the promised supervision of Tonks, Ginny was allowed to join Draco to find clues from Regulus on Christmas Eve, but promised to return before dinner for a family celebration. While Tonks stayed in the kitchen talking to Kreature, Draco and Ginny wandered upstairs into Regulus' room to start hunting for clues.

Upon entering the room with 'Regulus' painted neatly on the top of the door, both breathed in a deep breath. Everything in this room was disheveled with papers scattered all around the room, books strewn across the room. Despite the mess, everything was clean. There was no dust to be seen anywhere, the windows were freshly washed and even his bed looked to be washed and made recently.

"Looks like Kreature only cleans on room in this house." Draco sighed walking into the large room.

"To Kreature, Regulus is his lost master. Maybe keeping his room clean is his way of grieving. Do you think someone else made this mess, or do you think this was Regulus' work?" Ginny asked.

"I think if Kreature keeps such good care of this room, if someone did throw everything around hoping to find something, Kreature would have picked it up. Were looking at the last moments of a crazed man. Come on, there has to be something in this mess." Draco sighed picking up a book and inspecting it.

After several hours, Ginny and Draco managed to separate documents that looked related to Horcruxes on one side of Regulus' bed, and unimportant documents on the opposite side. As for the book, Draco had flipped through most all of the books and deemed most of them unimportant. The unimportant books he filed neatly on the book shelf, while the three possible important books he placed on the desk. A leather-bound journal with a few scribbles was left for careful inspection in a later date. Tonks had joined them a few minutes ago after finishing a long chat with Kreature and gaining little knowledge. After checking in on their progress, Tonks retired to the sun room for a short nap, apparently pregnancy was taking its toll on Tonks' sleeping habits. With the dangers she and her husband faced on a daily basis it was a wonder Tonks slept at night at all.

"I need a break. I think if I look at another useless scribble, I am going to lose my mind." Draco told Ginny rubbing his hands through his long blonde hair. Since the trio left him at the cottage, Draco had started to like seeing his long blond hair in the mirror and decided not to cut it. Instead, he used one of Ginny's hair ties to pull his hair back into a small ponytail behind his head. Paired with the dark blond and unrulily stubble that wrapped around his face, Ginny was beginning to love this new side of Draco.

"I think Tonks is still sleeping, so we can't go far." Ginny nodded walking over to Draco.

"It's a big house, I'm sure there are plenty of places we can go without going far." Draco smiled mischievously as Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck. In reaction, Draco pulled her body closer to his by wrapping his well-developed arms around Ginny's torso.

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling like a little nap myself." Ginny encouraged biting her bottom lip, an action that drove Draco wild.

"I'm feeling very tired," Draco gave Ginny a quick and hungry kiss, "we should probably find a bed."

"I think I saw the master bedroom around the corner, and I know Kreature has been cleaning that room." Ginny smiled seductively pulling Draco's face to hers as she deepened the kiss Draco started.

"Say no more my sweet." Draco pulled away from Ginny long enough to bend his body down catching Ginny's hips with his shoulder. As if she was as light as a rag doll, Draco carried the now giggling Ginny over his shoulder to the master bedroom. He quickly pushed the mahogany door to the master bedroom open before closing it quietly behind him. He then mumbled a quick locking and sound canceling charm over the room before making his way over to the bed, Ginny still flopped over his back.

"Are you going to put me down?" Ginny asked.

"Not until you remember this," Draco slapped his hand across her ass cheek before squeezing it, "is mine."

"Well I can't do that, Draco." Ginny smiled as she pushed herself off Draco so she was standing on the bed above Draco, his blue eyes looking longingly into her brown ones.

"And why is that?" Draco asked in a gruff voice.

"Because this," Ginny reached down to Draco's stiff member while holding eye contact with him, "is mine."

"My mind and body has always been yours." Draco whispered closing his eyes in pleasure as she continued to rub his member. Ginny took her opportunity, and in one swift motion, she jumped off the bed and pushed Draco down across the bed so he laid facing her, his feet dangling off the bed. She quickly climbed back onto him and met his hungrily awaiting lips. She did not let him enjoy the kiss for long, and began kissing down his neck pulling his shirt off as she went. With his black long-sleeved shirt discarded, Ginny began kissing long and wet kisses down his chest, chiseled abs and down his trailer, stopping as she reached his underwear band.

"Ginevra," Draco moaned giving Ginny the encouragement she needed to unbuckle his pants and slide them down his legs. As soon she pulled the black briefs away from his body, his stiff member jumped to meet her.

"I guess you really are excited to see me." Ginny winked rubbing a soft hand up and down his member. Draco pulled Ginny up to meet his lips and pulled her own sweater off in a swift motion leaving her in a simple black sports bra.

"I'm always excited to see you, Ginevra." Draco's gruff voice sent a shiver of thrill down her spine as Draco pulled the sports bra off giving him full access to her large bosom. Without hesitation, he pulled one nipple into his mouth and began twisting it with his tongue and teeth making Ginny gasp with pleasure. She had never felt such a pull in her stomach before nor the dizziness in her mind with the rush of endorphins that Draco was sending through her. She began twisting her hand around his member faster making him suck harder at her nipple. Ginny's head dropped to Draco's shoulder and he quickly shifted them so he was now on top of her and gazing at her half naked perfection. Ginny had released his member and now grabbed the back of his head pulling the pony tail holder out to release a bundle of beautiful golden hair.

"You're perfect." Draco whispered before catching his mouth to hers and grabbing a breast with the other. He slowly began needing the breast before moving his fingers slowly down to her pants waist band. The nearly floating fingers left an invisible streak down Ginny's stomach as if he was searing her skin with each touch.

"I want this so badly," Draco paused at her waist band pulling away from her slightly so his nose barely touched hers, "But I won't do anything until you are ready."

"I love you, Draco," Ginny placed both her hands around his face as if to signify her seriousness, "And I want to experience everything with you. I want to make you mine forever, I want to have sex with you right now in this really creepy bed of Grimiald Place."

In response, Draco crashed his lips onto hers as his fingers gracefully unbuttoned her pants and pushed them aside in seconds. He then moved his lips to her neck sucking at the piece of skin he knew she loved while moving thumb along her throbbing womanhood. Ginny wrapped a leg around his hip pulling him closer to her as he found her clit. The simple action made Ginny gasp once again and pushed her hips to meet his.

"Patience, my dear Ginevra," Draco laughed huskily lifting himself above her to watch her as he pushed a finger into her. She tipped her head back in pleasure and gripped Draco's good shoulder as he began pumping his finger inside of her before adding a second finger, and then a third.

"Please…" Ginny gasped as Draco pulled his fingers out of her.

"Please, what?" Draco asked sucking her juices off of his fingers individually without breaking eye contact with Ginny.

"You know what I want." Ginny grinned flipping herself on top of Draco and holding herself over him.

"Yes," Draco held her hips so he controlled her from going where she wanted to go so desperately, "But I want you to say it."

"Draco," Ginny hovered above him pulling his name into a slow purr, "I want you to fuck me until I can't remember anything but your name."

"That, Ginevra," Draco grabbed his wand from the nightstand where he had thrown it previous, "is all I have ever wanted to hear you say." After mumbling an infertility spell on himself, Draco released his hold on Ginny's hips and allowed her to sink onto of his member. His hands never left her hips and she sank into him, sending pleasure erupting through both of them.

"Oh, Ginevra," Draco whispered capturing her lips to his own as she slowly sank herself onto him. After raising and lowering herself a few times onto him, the movement became easier and she had adjusted to his size, allowing the pleasure to surpass the pain. In an instant, without sliding out of her, Draco flipped the couple and pushing himself into her quicker bringing the gasp out of her that Draco longed to hear. Both her legs had locked around his torso while one hand gripped his back and the other tangling into his hair. His mouth found her shoulder and his heavy and warm breath sent waves of heat and pleasure through her shoulder. At the heat of her climax, she felt her insides almost explode, only giving release when she whispered his name into his ear giving him the release he sought for before collapsing on top of her body. Breathing heavily, the couple held the other's naked body, kissing every exposed inch of skin they could, enjoying their last moments of privacy together.

"We should get dressed before Tonks wakes up." Draco sighed kissing Ginny's exposed chest. They were tangled with each other in a way that Draco was pressed against Ginny's chest, his legs looped around hers individually, and she was snuggled tightly against his bare chest, one arm capturing his one arm while the other rested on his thigh. Draco's free arm was draped loosely around Ginny idly fondling her exposed breasts.

"I don't wanna." Ginny turned so she could face Draco giving her best pout.

"I don't want to either, love. If I could spend the rest of my life like this, I would die the happiest man around."

"But we don't want to get caught." Ginny sighed turning to face her lover. "I love you, Draco Malfoy."

"I love you, Ginevra Weasley." Draco placed a soft and loving kiss onto her lips.

"How do you make that name sound so sexy and beautiful?"

"It isn't hard when it's the name of the most sexy and beautiful woman." Draco smiled a rare smile he only reserved for Ginny.

"Hm." Ginny pressed the side of her face into Draco's chest, "You're the only one who can say my full name without me cringing."

"I hope that never changes, love." Draco whispered into her hair.

"I hope that never changes either." Ginny breathing Draco in. "Ok, lets get dressed."

After a few minutes of searching for discarded pieces of clothing, and in some instances, Draco holding on to certain garments, the two walked out of the master bedroom with slightly tousled hair, and unremovable giddiness spread across the two. Ginny began pulling her hair into a pony tail when Draco caught her hand.

"Leave it down, please." Draco whispered.

"Anything for you." Ginny stole a kiss before using her fingers to untangle her long hair.

"Ah, there you two are!" Tonks greeted the couple as they reentered Regulus' room. Panic set across their faces as they faced Tonks, which must have confirmed her theories as she beamed between the two. "Did you talk to Kreature as well?"

"Um," Draco cleared his throat before answering, "yeah, we thought he might be able to help us…"

"Oh goodie. Was he able to give you anything new?" Tonks asked genuinely curious.

"Um, not really." Ginny stubbled, "Ya know, same old story."

"Darn." Tonks sighed standing up, "Oh well, I guess we can't always grab the answers that easily. We well better be on our way before Molly gets worried about us being late to Christmas dinner!"

Draco and Ginny inwardly sighed a breath of relief as they followed Tonks out of the room. Draco grabbed Ginny's hand as the small party made their way to the nearest fireplace.

"Oh, Ginny." Tonks turned to Ginny when they stood in front of the fireplace, "You might want to cover up that hickey before your mum sees it." Smiling to herself, Tonks threw a handful of Floo Powder before shouting "The Burrow!" and disappearing into the flames.

"She's got more Slytherin in her that I thought." Draco half laughed to himself. "Here," Draco touched his wand over Ginny's hickey making it disappear.

"Thanks." Ginny mumbled still embarrassed from Tonks' realization.

"Ladies first," Draco gestured to the fireplace. Ginny smiled back, gave Draco a quick kiss before grabbing some Floo Powder and repeating Tonks' movements. Moments later she stepped into the Burrow's living room. Seconds later, Draco followed her out of the fireplace and they followed Mrs. Weasley's beacons to the kitchen.
