Chapter 7: Ice revealed
A/N: In this chapter Millennium is away for a while. He, Trinity, and Decade have gone to this presentation where Wizards and Witches come from all over to see rare and beautiful animals.
Draco sat in the Slytherin common room, staring at the fire the flames reminding him of a certain red-haired someone… (A/n: no not Ron!) He sighed sadly. He could never seem to summon the courage to even talk to Ginny much less tell her he… loved her… That's right Draco had realized that the "like" had turned to love. Draco snapped back to reality when he felt a hand descend onto his shoulder and turned to see one of the people he most despised… Pansy Parkinson.
"Draco why don't you come with me to have a little fun." She purred seductively, running her hand down his arm. She looked up in shock when Draco swiftly pulled out of her grasp shooting her a sickened look.
"Don't touch me." Draco growled softly, smirking when he saw Pansy's eyes narrow dangerously.
"Who is she Draco?" "You've never turned me down before." Pansy stated her tone vicious. Draco merely smirked again and left the room with only a few quick strides. Pansy stared after him for a minute before turning and glaring in the general direction of the Gryffindor common room. Eyes blazing she spit out a name like a curse…
"Ginny Weasley…"
Draco sat in the Great Hall, waiting for breakfast to appear as he watched Ginny out of the corner of his eyes. He noticed the pancakes had arrived and grabbed a bottle sitting by his plate, still staring at Ginny and not even noticing what it was. He poured some of the mystery stuff onto his pancakes, took a bite, and found out the unpleasant way that the mystery stuff was indeed… Mustard! Draco promptly spit the sickening piece of food half way across Great Hall, where it landed, surprisingly unnoticed, on the floor and slid underneath the Ravenclaw table. Draco whistled innocently when he heard several screams from unsuspecting Ravenclaws, got up and walked slowly out of Great Hall, looking utterly innocent. He breathed out in relief when he was safely out, and turned down a corridor towards the Slytherin Common room. He then saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks, Pansy and her little group of thugs had made a circle around a very scared looking Ginny, who had just left Great Hall before Draco. Draco was to frozen to do anything as he watched Pansy say something to Ginny, with the rest of the Girls laughing evilly and, as he watched a tear escape from Ginny's eye, his limbs started to tremble with a strange power. Then, to his horror, Pansy reached out and slapped Ginny across the face. Draco started to glow a deadly white color as he roared,
"STOP" Pansy turned and let out a small scream at the glowing one in front of her. Draco reached out and seized her wrist and growled low.
"Get out of here… now." Pansy and her thugs didn't need to be told twice they were out of there in record speed. Draco felt his powers seeping away and the glow diminished, he turned to Ginny and was dismayed at the sight of her head burrowed in her hands, shoulders quaking as she cried. Draco kneeled beside her, reached out a touched her shoulder and was very surprised when she flung herself into his arms crying softly. Draco gently gathered her in his arms, and pulled her into his lap, rocking her gently. When she was done crying she pulled back a little bit and looked into his face where Draco saw that she had a mark on her cheek that was already turning black and blue. She peered at him then whispered,
"Thank you… but why did you save me?" Draco knew now was the time to tell her how he felt and so he replied,
"Because Ginny… because I love you." Draco turned his head away slightly afraid she would reject him and was surprised when she put her hand on his cheek and brought his head around so she could look into his eyes. Smiling she answered,
"I love you too Draco. I always have." Draco suddenly felt an overwhelming need to kiss her but pushed it back. Ginny was hurt and she needed medical attention. Draco lifted Ginny into his arms easily as he started to carry her towards the hospital wing. He looked down at her and grinned.
"I really want to kiss you right now Ginny but you need that bruise looked at. But after that, mark my words, I'm going to kiss you senseless!" Draco claimed as he held Ginny closer. Her eyes twinkled as she winked up at him.
"Promise?" She asked
"Like you wouldn't believe." Draco replied silkily as they walked away.
