Chapter 2- Ginny Weasley
When Hermione and Draco both pulled away from their passionate contact, almost panting, Hermione blinked furiously for several seconds and Draco suddenly seemed alarmed. "Whoah, that was rich.." she said as she picked up the pile of books at her heel. Draco was panting, hand on his chest. "Why are you here?"
The glow on his girlfriend's face faded. "What do you mean, why am I here?"
Her voice sounded both shocked and angry. "I'm your girlfriend, aren't I?"
Draco rolled his eyes and pulled Hermione by the arm, making her glare at him and grab her own arm back. "You're hurting me, Draco!"
"Someone might see us, didn't you think of that at all?!" Draco said icily. Hermione raised a brow and folded her arms across her chest. Draco sighed, features softening. "Okay. I'm sorry," he said quietly, the sincere, sorry look sparkling in his gray eyes. "But, you're putting us both in danger here, my housemates-Crabbe and Goyle, if they find us like this here, they'll surely tell my father!"

Draco's eyes instantly jerked open, a little annoyed Hermione stopped doing that.
"I can't come tonight, I got homework, I'm sorry.." she said as she walked away from him.
Draco sighed and softly murmured the password to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin.
"She did it again.."

"Go. Sod. Off. Malfoy." Ginny said through gritted teeth the moment Draco Malfoy stopped in his tracks to stand right in front of her, eyes looking down icily on her hers as his two goons, two times his size, snickered behind him. It was an idle afternoon in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an hour after classes have been ended. Ginny Weasley was walking along the empty halls of the school, second-hand books, tattered and torn on their jackets, pressed against her chest as she minded her own business up her way to the Gryffindor Tower. But unlucky for her, she ran or rather walked into someone most unlikely and spiteful; the school's antagon
