CHAPTER 5
I flew through the air spiraling in loops, allowing the cool start of fall air to brush past my burning cheeks. Flying has always given me a since of freedom and a good place to work things out. I recounted everything that had happened today. From the last visit with the head master and minister of magic to the very meeting up with Ginny this morning, my head filled with sharp pain. Thank goodness it was almost dinner, I wasn't to sure how much more of this I could take. Finally after a quick hour on my broom, I landed and began my way to the castle. Harry past me carrying his broom over one shoulder. Flying is the one thing he and I have in common, and it surprised me as he walked away with out making a rude comment. He seemed equally surprised that I had managed to keep my mouth closed. I had other things on my mind. I got down to the common room and was shocked more than ever at what remained behind the door.
Jason sat in Ginny's lap, fingering his wand I had gotten for him this afternoon. It emitted sparks occasionally. She pleasantly read aloud from the ever changing fairy tale book, beauty and the beast.
How Ironic. The flame haired beauty meets the son of a dementor beast. She looked up at me as I entered, saddening me with a pause of her reading.
"How did you get in here?" My voice was barely above a whisper, and her face was unreadable, but Jason sent me an encouraging smile. She brushes it off as if she didn't hear me correctly.
"I came here for several reasons. To start off I would like to know how you knew of my… secret."
I sighed deeply for a moment. How could I answer her in a lie? Some cold part of my heart wouldn't allow it. I pulled my wand from my pocket and she quickly tensed up. Probably afraid that I would curse her or something. I let a small smile curl onto my lips. I conjured the book and handed it to her. She took it examining the cover for a moment before opening it. I opened my mouth to explain it's use but a quill appeared from thin air and she began to write.

The word that followed her name must have been a spell to repeat all of the times I had viewed her, but I hadn't realized it until they began to play once more. We sat there for minutes, but it felt like all eternity. Her cheeks became a tint pinker each time she would run to her bed in tears or yell at someone or thing, but never once did her eyes linger from the page. When it had all ended she closed the book, and handed it back to me looking relieved that her secret hadn't totally been reviled.
"I'm sure you have your reasons for watching me, but I will not go into them at this moment. The second reason I am here is a confession." Were my ears deceiving me? What in the name of Morphious could Ginny possibly have to confess about? "I listened in to your conversation with Dumbledore." I relaxed, simply with a dismissive shrug.
"All I ask is that you don't go telling Potter or Weas- I mean Harry or your brother or even Hermoine." She seemed to relax quite a bit hearing that. She even laughed when I tried to correct myself on the others names.
"No I mean I listened to the whole thing." Once again I shrugged. She seemed definitely relieved.
"Forget about it… it'll probably be all over the prophet in a couple of days any way. Anything else?" The inside of my head were screaming, what's wrong with you Malfoy, you git, your practically sending her away, invite her to the kitchen with you, on a walk, anything…
A bright grin flashed across her face.
"I've found something out about the books." What books, oh those. She pulled the copy of the large leather bound locked book on to her now empty lap. Jason had moved over to mine, where I conveniently sat next to her.
"Reshapus-Melatus" She chanted to a piece of metal in her hand. Almost instantly it began to melt and fill the keyhole. "Solidious." The metal became solid, and she turned it like a key. The book flew open and the air filled with blood curling screams. With great effort she slammed it shut again and locked.
The silence that followed was deafening, but shortly interrupted by the raging beat of my heart that had stopped when she first opened it, and the sound of her catching her breath. She started to laugh coolly, lying backward and gripping the book to her stomach.
"Sorry, guess I should've warned you. It's done that all three times I've opened it." I leaned over her to get a closer look at her face. She was smiling as she looked up at me. God I love her smile. I could forget about all the worries in the world just by a quick glimpse at it. I could look at it for all eternity, that smile. Perhaps I had, I don't really know how long I had been staring at it. She had stopped laughing but continued to stare at me grinning. Suddenly my grip lost it's self and I fell in to her, our lips locking, but only for a brief second. I pushed up off of her a bit looking into her eyes. I was afraid that she would be unhappy, or angry at me, but no. Her eyes held sort of a pleading look to them. I felt her arms wrap around my neck pulling me back toward her. This time I kissed her, but meaning to. I heard the door click to the boys dormitory, signaling Jason's exit, leaving us alone.
Good boy Jason.
***-
Sure he had seen my more personal side, but the secret of training under them was still just that. A secret.
I had been dying to show him the trick I had found out about the book. He was definitely surprised as I pulled it open and the screaming filled the air. Jason even jumped up and hid behind the couch. I couldn't help but laugh. They both just looked so cute.
Draco looked down at me and I, for the first time got a good look at his sterling silver eyes. He maybe good at showing no emotion on his face, but his eyes could tell the whole story by them selves. Something about him looked like he had the problems of the whole world on his back. And he probably did. He slipped and fell onto me taking me by complete surprise. He kissed me and for a moment all the troubles of being born to the order of the phoenix, or never really being loved by Harry, or about the recent rise of Voldermort rushed out of my head and all I was thinking of was him, and how much I liked the feel of his lips on mine. Even if it was by accident.
He leaned back ending the kiss, and my sudden journey to freedom. I looked up into his worried eyes. Was he worried about hurting me? Or was he afraid that I didn't like him like that? No this boy has to like me. I saw the book. He's been watching me all summer. Trusting my instinct I pulled him into another kiss. The weird thing that surprised me most, was the fact that Draco, didn't pressure me at all. I had my mind set that I wouldn't do anything but kiss him until I knew him better. Sure enough we stood there in the middle of the Slythern common room with his hands wrapped tight around my waist, mine around his neck, and I swear there's no where I'd rather be on this planet. Not even with Harry.
I backed up for a moment, landing on the couch with a sigh.
"We've got to talk." He nodded with out any pressuring of it can wait, or not now, but as he sat down his arm slid around my shoulder.
"I can't tell you everything just yet but there is something about me… you don't know, my friends don't know, God even my parents don't know." I felt worried, a lump was finding it's way in my throat. What if when he finds out he stops liking me? No, think positive. "I-I promise you'll find out as soon as I can tell you, I just don't know when." He nodded once more.
"Ginny, answer me truthfully. Do you like me? I mean if you don't want Harry or Ron to know and it needs to be kept a secret I'll understand completely, but I need to know… if you really like me." I stared at him incredulously. A few hours ago, I would have said I wasn't sure, but now this had to be the thing I was I was most certain about. I had to relax for a second before answering. I needed to look at it in his perspective. He was probably never truly loved by anyone… until now.
"No Draco, I don't like you." I saw his gaze drop to the floor. "I think it's more than that." He looked up at me in bewilderment.
"Really?" There still was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"No you stupid git, I just madeout with you for over an hour for fun." My dripped with sarcasm, and I saw the confident smile return to his face as he pulled me into another kiss. I rested my head against his chest, and we lay there just talking for quite a while. The next thing that happened was another dramatic surprise.
***-
I thought I would die when she said she didn't like me. My heart sunk so low in my stomach. I couldn't help but think, well this is definitely a new level for the Malfoy name to drop to. Wait what was that she had said afterwards. More than like, but less than love. Well you couldn't ask for much more on a single night. It gave me the courage to be prepared for the trial and I feel like I can do anything right now. We talked about everything as she lay in my arms in the common room. We decided it was official, and that we were a couple, but right now no one needed to know. Jason, if he could bite back his tongue and keep it a secret, would be the expectation.
There was a courtesy knock on the door and the headmaster entered. He looked slightly surprised, but who wouldn't have been after walking in to find Ginny and I, sworn enemies, lying on the couch near the fire. He cleared his throat and in a rather higher pitched voice than normal announced that dinner was being served. Without another word he left shutting the door quietly behind him.
Ginny and I couldn't help but laugh. She ran up to my dorm and called Jason down. We made him solemnly swear he wouldn't speak a word of it. He kept laughing and pointing at the two of us as if he had known it would happen, like a kid whose watched a muggle movie too many times and is tickled that he already knows how it's going to end.
Ginny kissed my cheek one last time before hurrying off. Jason and I made it down to the great hall to find a single table set for everyone. I walked over to the Headmaster who was speaking vividly to the new defense against the dark arts teacher, Miss Figg. As he saw me approach he excused himself and walked over.
"Is something troubling you Mr. Malfoy?" At times I despise his ever-cheerful attitude but this definitely wasn't one of those times.
"Uh- Headmaster, about Ginny and I. We would appreciate it you would keep it a secret…" I mumbled under my breath as to not catch the attention of Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who had just entered.
"I have no clue what ever you may be talking about, Mr. Malfoy." He winked at me over his crescent shaped glasses. I smiled gratefully at him, and sent a quick and furtive nod to Ginny, who sat showing Jason how to dip his cookies into the milk she had charmed chocolate, and spoiling his appetite before the meal would even truly begin. For the first night in my life, I was truly happy.
A/N Ha I finished the chapter. I did it on impulse and all in one sitting, so I must go stretch now before blood clots form and inhabit my brain. Stay tuned cuz my predictions read that next chapters gonna be pretty revealing. R/R
