Draco's Desires
Part Five
Escapades In The Chamber
*~~~~~*
Ginny and I looked around at the splendor of the Chamber. "Ginny, how could you not like it here?" I was amazed.
She gave me a look. "Well, I was being held captive by a maniac, but otherwise…"
"I guess that would put a damper on things…" I grabbed her hand and pulled her among all the stone columns with the snakes entwining on them. "Do you feel the power here?"
"Well, it is amazing." She twirled around, listening to her shoes click on the floor. "You're right, Draco. This isn't a scary place anymore. This is our place!" She lifted her wand and sent out little fire spells so that the Chamber was filled with a warm orange glow, instead of a cold greenish tint from the emeralds. It made it very cheerful, like one of the common rooms on a winter's night.
"Beautiful, Ginny." I wandered over to the huge statue. "Salazar Slytherin."
"Is that who it is?" She knelt down in-between the statue's feet. "This is where he found me."
I sat down next to her. "I'm sorry you were treated so badly. But now, in our Chamber, Slytherin will protect you always." I wrapped my arm around her.
She looked up at the statue and smiled. "Maybe you're right."
"Of course I'm right."
She stood and put her hands on my shoulders. "Draco…you're so full of yourself." She giggled.
"Insult me, will you? You'd better run, little girl. I'm coming after you!" I jumped up and took up an imaginary chase, Ginny as my target. She squealed and ran through the warm chamber, twisting between the columns. I tore after her, my pale hair whipping around, and warmth filling my body. What an incredible feeling having fun was. So this is what youthful romps are like.
"You can't catch me, Draco!" She yelled. She scrambled down a winding passageway to the right and suddenly yelped.
"Ginny?" I ran to her side and found she was standing ankle deep in a pool with one foot. Water dripped down the stone walls, which glistened with rainbow light. I wondered what was in those stones that made them sparkle like that. "Look at that water dripping there, it's like a waterfall."
"The water is warm!" She cried gleefully. "Oh, let's go in, please?" She pulled her foot out and started to yank off her shoes.
"Are you serious? We'll get soaked." I liked her spirit, but I didn't relish getting sopping wet.
"Draco, I must go in!" She stripped off her robe and started on her shirt.
"Ginny!" I grabbed her hands. "You can't just take off your clothes." Sure, I admit I had pictured it once or twice, but we were still little children. I didn't think she knew what she was doing.
"I'm not taking off all my clothes, honestly!" She laughed and pulled off her shirt. She was wearing an undershirt, since she hadn't filled out fully enough for a real bra.
I tried not to look too much. "This is insane…"
She yanked off her jeans next and jumped into the pool in just her shirt and panties. "Ooo, it gets deeper and warmer further in! Come on in, Draco, the water's lovely."
I shrugged. If she was able to shed her inhibitions, so was I. I pulled off my robe and jeans and tee shirt until I was wearing nothing but my boxers. "I'm coming in!" I jumped and splashed into the water, sending droplets splattering against the walls. Ginny promptly jumped on me and pulled me under. I glubbed. When I surfaced again I splashed her thoroughly. "Brat!"
She giggled and dove underwater, swimming until she surfaced under the water that was cascading down from the stones above. " Draco, this feels so good." She sat directly under the stream and closed her eyes.
I paddled over to her and leaned against her, wanting to be close to her. I sat with her under the little waterfall and just marinated in the warmth.
Ginny snuggled against me, warm against my chest. "I do like it here." She sighed and started to doze off.
I myself leaned back against the rainbow flickering wall and closed my eyes, the water spilling over us. I drifted off as well, hugging my little sprite tightly.
