Chapter Six
The Meeting
She snuck up beside him. When she was about 3 feet away from him he turned around. He had been staring down the opposite side of the hall obviously confused at which way the Gryffindor common room was.
"Finally! What took you so long?"
"Hermione tried to convince me not to go."
"What made the mudblood finally let you go?"
Ginny chose to ignore the mudblood comment. "She let me go because I promised to curse you if you tried anything."
Draco laughed - a cruel and evil sound that sent shivers up Ginny's spine. "She honestly thinks you could curse? I have studied curses and how to perform them for 13 years. I could more than likely pull my wand out and have it out faster than any student in this school including your Granger friend." He said all this calmly but Ginny saw an evil gleam in his cold eyes.
"Ok..." She began to wonder why she had even came. He was beginning to scare her.
"So what do you want?" He asked all traces of evil gone.
Ginny marveled at how quick his mood changed. "What do I want? You were the one who asked for me to meet you here." She gave him a defiant look.
His eyebrows went up. "No I didn't."
Ginny pulled the note out of her pocket and shoved it in his hand. "Then what's this?"
He read over it. "This isn't my handwriting. It's too neat."
"Well who wrote it then?"
"You did." He handed her the note he had received. "The handwriting matches."
She looked at the note he had given her. "I didn't write this either."
"Well then if we aren't going to talk I might as well go back to my common room before Filch finds me."
He bent down and picked up the invisibility cloak that was at his feet. He slipped it on and was putting on the hood when-
"Wait!"
He turned around and slipped the hood on. "Why?"
"I'll get caught by Filch if I try and go back without a cloak like yours."
"So?"
It looked strange talking to someone she couldn't see.
"Take that off for a moment."
"Fine." He pulled it off and looked at her.
"I was wondering if..." She paused not believing she was asking him for anything.
"Get to the point Weasley."
"Could we share the cloak? You could take me to the portrait and then continue onto Slytherin common room wherever that is."
"I guess so." He said flatly when secretly he was thanking the gods and whoever had sent the notes.
A few seconds later they were both under the cloak - very close I might add. They started towards the portrait of the fat lady with Ginny in the lead.

"Oh no!" Ginny exclaimed loudly when she saw the fat lady wasn't in her frame.
Draco clapped a hand over her mouth. "Are you trying to get us in trouble?" He hissed in her ear.
She shook her head and he removed his hand 'almost reluctantly' she thought.
"What am I going to do? She could be gone for hours!" Ginny whined causing Draco to cover her mouth again.
"What do you expect me to do about it?"
She reached up and removed his hand from her mouth.
"Draco..." She asked in a pleading tone.
"What do you expect me to do? I really doubt you want to sleep in my dorm and I'm not sure the other Slytherins would be too pleased to see a Weasley asleep on the common room couch."
"I-I wouldn't mind sleeping in you dorm..."
'Damn it! Why must she tease me so?'
"Well come on then. I just hope my father doesn't find out about this." Draco said in barely a whisper.
'I hope so too.' She silently agreed thinking about what Lucius Malfoy would do if he found out about this.

A/N: Don't even ask if Lucius will find out. No romance yet but keep reading I'm trying to find the perfect moment. I hate when people rush into the romance and have it at the wrong time. Don't you? Maybe next chapter after all they will both be sleeping in the same bed...
