Chapter 6:  Entering a Realm of Magic

The sleigh entered through the gateway of a magnificent castle… a castle even more magnificent than Hogwarts!  Ginny was just astounded by everything that she saw.  Everything everywhere seemed to glitter and sparkle, just like the new fallen snow they had traveled through.  She let out a squeal causing Draco to chuckle.

"Don't make fun of me, Draco Malfoy."

Draco arched an eyebrow, "Was I?" he asked, amusement spread across his entire face.

Ginny blushed and playfully punched him in the shoulder, "You're exasperating!"

Again, Draco chuckled.

The sleigh finally came to a stop and they exited it.  Ginny could not help but glance all around herself… she smiled when she realized that the pillars and columns seemed to resemble candycanes.  'Since when did Draco have such a sweet tooth?' she thought to herself.

"Welcome to my magical kingdom," Draco began.  "Before we enter, I have some friends that I'd like for you to meet.  It's of great importance to me that you meet them."

Draco grasped her hand and slowly moved it up towards his lips.  He gently kissed her wrist causing the girl to lower her eyes in embarrassment, though a small smile played on her lips.  At that moment, Ginny suddenly found herself being led down a long corridor towards a large room of sorts.

At the center of the room stood a lovely woman with hair just as pale as Draco's... she looked as though she could be a relation.  Along side the pale woman stood a handsome man.  'Not nearly as handsome as Draco,' Ginny mused.

The woman curtseyed and the man beside her bowed, "Welcome to the gateway to the world of faerie…  It seems that the Prince himself has personally escorted you here… you must be very special to him."  She smiled at the red-haired girl.

Draco smiled and pulled Ginny close, "Very special," he whispered.

Ginny blushed.

"I am the Lady Brigantia… gatekeeper to the magical realm of the faeries… and this kingdom is ruled by our wonderful Prince.  I can only assume that you are to be his Princess?"

Ginny looked at Draco and he gestured for her to answer the woman, "Y-yes…" she stammered.

Lady Brigantia smiled and then laughed lightly, "It's all right, my dear… you are with the Prince… you are welcome here."  She paused just then, "Please explore the kingdom at your leisure.  The doorway is over there."  She pointed towards a large wooden door with brass handles.

"Thank you," Ginny replied while curtseying.

Draco grasped Ginny's hand and the two quickly made their way towards the door that would lead them into the realm of faerie.  Ginny could feel her heart racing with anticipation… and a happiness seemed to wash over her.

Draco pushed the door open and the two entered.

"Oh Draco… it's beautiful…"

Draco smiled.

They had entered a beautiful woodland grove.  Around the edges of the grove there appeared to be several portals… each one leading to a different place within the magical kingdom.

"Where would you like to go, my angel… what would you like to see?"

"Oh my…"

Ginny looked up into Draco's steely gray eyes just then.  His gaze was so intense with love and emotion that she felt herself instantly get hot.  Draco gently caressed her cheek and smiled at her… instinctually, Ginny reached up for his hand and pressed it firmly against her face.

Draco then placed his hand on the back of her head and he pulled her closer… his eyes still gazing deeply into her own.  His other hand wrapped itself gently around her waist.  She could feel his body pressed against hers and it felt right… it felt wonderful.  Suddenly, he slowly brought his lips to hers.

Immediately, Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck.  She yearned to be as close to him as possible.  At that, he pulled her closer still and she parted her lips slightly… inviting him to explore her mouth further.  He obliged the invitation willingly as he sought her tongue with his own.  The red-haired girl heaved a contented sigh, causing Draco only to deepen the kiss even more.  As he began to pull away, she whimpered in protest… so Draco pressed his lips hard against hers once more.

She could feel that Draco was aroused as his excitement was grinding against her thigh.  She entangled her fingers throughout his blond hair while his hands made their way inside her nightrobe.  Suddenly, Ginny gasped when she felt Draco gently grasp her left breast, massaging it until her nipple became hard.  She did not want this to end… she was in ecstasy… in heaven… and she was with her Draco.
