Summary: Draco and Ginny have lusted after each other since her 4th year and his 5th. Now Draco in his seventh year had decided he will get Ginny, of course she is rather reluctant. They both need each others help to get back at the two people they planned on going to the dance with. Unfortanetly for them just have way to much sexual tension built up to be just playing boyfriend/girldfriend.
Notes: Sorry this has taken so long. I want to finish it up though because I have a new idea. Which I'm waiting a couple of days to start on to see if I stay interested with it.
"I need to talk to you."
Ginny looked up to see Draco above her, as serious as if Voldermort had just arrived at Hogwart's. She had to admit she was rather curious. "What about?"
"Not here. Follow me." He wanted to laugh out loud at the confused look that came over her face. She was right, he was better at this game.
"I don't think so Draco. I'm not following you anywhere." She didn't trust him in the least. And she was quite satisfied wallowing in her own misery and trying to think of how to get herself out of the mess she was now in.
"It's important. If you find something wrong with it then go run to Dumbledore and report me, I don't care but just listen to me seriously this once." When she didn't answer him and seemed to be thinking it over he held out his hand. "So will you follow me?"
With a sigh Ginny stood up on her own and batted at his hand. "Fine make it quick. Try something and I'll turn you into a ferret."
Draco smiled warmly, something he never did. "Alright then, lets go." He turned and led the way and she followed behind him, obviously keeping her distance.
Ginny followed him silently and tried her best to figure out where they were going. But they seemed to be going lower into Hogwart's and she started to become a little worried. Before she could question him though he stopped in front of a painting that she recognized as the entrance to Slytherin. "Draco what-"
He didn't give her a chance to finish and bent down and threw her over his shoulder. "Sorry Ginny, it has to be done." He mumbled the password and the painting opened.
"Draco Malfoy! I'm going to kill you!" Ginny screamed and began pounding on his back.
Draco swatted her on the butt and in return he got a hard punch in the back which caused him to wince. "I'll return that even harder if you don't stop it."
"Let me down now!!!!" Ginny screamed and as she did she noticed all of a sudden she was in the common room to Slytherin. She blushed with embarrassment and swore she would murder him.
"Now Ginny," Draco began loudly for all of the on lookers and Blaise who sat nearby, "stop making such a spectacle of yourself. I don't know why you insist on hiding our relationship." He smiled and started walking towards the boys rooms.
"Relationship!" She began to start again when she noticed they were walking up some stair. If they Slytherins were set up like the Gryffindor's were then he was heading in the direction of the boys room. "You can't do this! You can't force me, I'm going to kill you!"
Draco rolled his eyes and kicked open the door to his room. Luckily it was empty. After shutting it he dropped her onto the ground and grabbed her shoulders so that she didn't fall. "I'm not that desperate. I'm not that nicest person I know but I wouldn't force anybody."
Ginny backed up away from him but eyes him warily. "Then what do you want?"
"I have a proposition. This little scene was just the beginning. Word around Hogwart's is that Potter chose a nice little brunette Ravenclaw for his dancing partner."
Ginny frowned at him. "Yea so?"
"Well, we can help each other. I seem to have found myself in a little predicament myself. I had previously decided on going with Blaise but it seems I hadn't asked her soon enough and she is going with some other idiot. Now I could care less who she likes but on formal occasions I should have the best. So needless so say I'm a little pissed at her."
"Okay, so what the hell does that have to do with me? Go get some other whore to go with you." Ginny was getting fed up with him and if she had her wand she would have been out of here already.
"Give me a minute. In turn I can assume your a little pissed with Potter. Right?" He waited and although she frowned at his question she nodded. "Right. Well the whole school knows that I'm Harry's least favorite person. Besides you-know-who of course. And as of earlier it came to my attention that you seem not to be in Blaise's good graces. She seems to be a little tiffed that I every so often like to chase after you."
"Uh huh." Ginny nodded as it came to her. "Now tell me if I'm wrong. You're saying that since Blaise hates me and Harry hates you we go together to get them back and maybe even make them jealous."
Draco smiled. "Exactly. So what do you say."
"No." Ginny said quickly and walked towards the door which he was unfortanetly in front of. He quickly grabbed her arms and held her there.
"Think about this Ginny, think real hard. I know you really don't want Harry, and we both know I don't really want Blaise. We are in the same position though. You put all that effort into getting Harry and you got nothing of it. You say you know how to play the game but when it comes down to it will you really play? If you want to win then who else to play it with then with me?"
Ginny looked up at him nervously. He knew her to well and it worried her. He was perfectly right. If she wanted to get back at Harry he would be the best person to help her. "It is a nice plan. But the only problem is is that I don't trust you. I'm not stupid Draco. I know you'd use this to your own advantage. I've stayed away from you for the past few years for a reason, it's gotten me this far. I know your good, and I'll admit it."
Draco wanted to laugh at her words. She was right he would use it, they would ahve to be in each others company more often and you better believe he would still attempt at getting her. "You may be right. But if your going to admit that I'll give you this much, you've been the hardest and I have begun to doubt if I will ever get you. Look we both can admit that we lust after each other. It's there in teh open. I show it by running after you, and show it by keeping your distance in hopes of resisting me. But you'll have to get even better at it Virginia. We can't play this half way through. It has to be real if you want to do it. That means acting like we want to be in each others company."
"Why can't we just say we are going to the dance together, that would make them mad enough." She could tell he seriously didn't believe it though as he shook his head.
"They wouldn't believe it. The only way to make them believe it is if they believe that we want to be with each other."
"But-" Ginny stopped, she knew he was right. "Alright we have to have rules though. First and foremost, easy out clause. If I want out I'm out. Second, we don't need to be all over each other. And third, under no condition will you tell anyone that we are having sex."
Draco frowned but he knew he would have to relent. "Fine. Now I have my own rules. Although we do not need to be all over each other we can't act like the other has the plague. Which means you do hang out with me. And guess what kissing will be a factor." He could see her quickly go to speak but he covered her mouth with his hand. "Get over it. You want to play? Well learn how to do it. I'm not saying we have to snog everyday but geez Ginny at least make it a little real. And we are not dating. I want my option open for after the dance. We are just interested in each other. Alright?"
Ginny nodded with a sigh. "Why do I just feel like I sold me soul to the devil."
Draco smirked at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder as he opened the door and led her down the stairs. "Now we are going to walk out there and you are going to have a nice smile on your face. Tomorrow before lunch I am going to find you and we are going to walk in together and you are going to sit with me."
Ginny didn't get a chance to respond to him, by that point they had entered the Slytherin common room. All eyes were on them but they walked quickly past them all. She was nervous enough as it was, but with Draco's hand on her lower back leading her towards the exit it was worse. They made there way down the steps and as they exited and passed the painting both of them stopped and turned to each other. "Alright lunch tomorow got it. One more thing. I know you and you are going to love getting to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. So under no condition are you to rub this in there face."
His mouth opened to deny that he had planned on it but he stopped and smirked. "You know me to well Weasley. Alright, I will withstrain myself until we are through. But once this is over it is out of your hands."
Ginny nodded in agreement. No matter how much she wished him not to bring it up after she knew he would. "Fine." With that she turned and left.
"See you later love!" Draco called after her and laughed. He knew he was going to enjoy the next couple of weeks emensely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Breakfest was going rather smoothily Ginny realized as she placed her spoon in her mouth and glanced around the hall at the other Hogart's students. She had been fortunate to not have been put in the position to speak with either Draco or Harry.
"You don't look that unhappy. I either expected you to be sulking or with your foot of Harry's arse." Emma got the expected glare from Ginny but she didn't allow it to discourage her. "So did you find someone else?"
Ginny went to spill the beans about her date but as an after thought she shut her mouth. She wasn't going to start spouting off yet that Draco Malfoy was her date until she was sure he was going to follow through, that way she wouldn't look like the fool if he didn't. "Maybe." And that was all she said.
Draco on the other hand had no such quams about not revealing his intention. Across the room he sat there at the center of the table amongst the usual crowd and with Blaise at his side as usual.
"So Draco," Blaise placed down her silverware deciding on not eating the rest of her breakfast, "have your solved your problem of having a date. I have to admit I was so worried you wouldn't be able to find one. If you do have trouble do let me know, I'm sure we could find someone for you to go to the dance with."
Draco rolled his eyes heavenward then turned to Blaise with a forced smile. "Now Blaise I'm shocked that you would think I would not be able to find a date. In fact I do have one and it is thanks to you. If you hadn't brought up Virginia Weasley I might never have thought to ask her." When her mouth fell open slightly he knew she had understood him. "Now Blaise," Draco brought his hand up to her chin and pushed it up to close her mouth, "you don't want to catch flies."
"You're taking her?" Blaise asked him in her shocked uncontrolled voice. She hadn't meant it as an actual idea. She had just meant to tease him.
"Yea, and I want to thank you for going with someone else Blaise. I think I may actually enjoy myself." With that he stood up and left the hall leaving her to wallow in her own stupidity. As he walked out he looked for and then soon spotted Ginny. She wasn't sitting near Harry to Draco's relief and she didn't seem to mind it one bit either. She sat amongst her own friends and listened intently then would begin talking. It wouldn't be hard at all for him to pretend to be with Ginny. There was nothing wrong with her in his opinion except that she was a Weasley. If it hadn't been for that fact he might have made more serious designs on the girl. The fact that she was a Gryffindor mattered little. Sure his house and her were forever rivals but he could forget that. It was her being a Weasley and being in the same crowd with Potter and his friends which kept Draco away. ~~~~~~~~~~
"Well there is my little ray of sunshine."
Ginny turned to Draco and rolled her eyes. "Please." She joined in step witih him as they walked towards the hall. "Now tell me this. As much as I would not hold back telling some nasty Slytherin to kiss my ass I'm not going to lie and say I'm not uncomfortable about sitting at a table full of them."
"Don't worry about it. You're with me. Now smile and look pretty." Draco pushed the door open and placed his hand on her back and ushered her towards the Slytherin table and meeting the eye of anyone who looked up at them.
Ginny looked up at him with a soft smile. "Now Draco, I always smile and look pretty."
He turned his eyes to her and smirked. "Unfortunate for me then isn't it?" They walked down the side of the Slytherin table and almost in an overly dramatic way his fellow housemates heads turned and followed both Draco and Ginny with there eyes. Eventually they came to where he usually sat and as expected and as Draco had hoped for, Blaise was sitting where she usually sat, next to his spot. "Move over Blaise."
Her blue eyes stared up at him wide eyed and shocked then they narrowed with anger. "You can not expect me to move over for that."
Draco in turn looked on her with slitted silver eyes and glared. "You will move over." She did her best to keep her dignity as she scooted over but Draco still rolled his eyes at her. He turned his eyes to Ginny and held his hand out towards the seat that Blaise had just recently vacated.
Without glancing at Blaise, which was hard, Ginny slid under the table and a moment after Draco was sitting next to her.
Draco placed a hand on her thigh to get her attention. "Your little friends are looking."
Ginny grabbed his hand from under the table and threw it off of her leg. She glanced up quickly under her lowered lids and tried to focus her eyes across the room. It wasn't that hard to miss. Ron was up flaling his arms about and Hermione and Harry were pulling him down. She laughed softly. "Ron always had a flare for dramatics." She sighed and propped her chin up on her hand and looked at him. "So love, how was your night? Sleep well?"
"As always when thoughts of you are in my dreams." Draco said to her with a smile but his narrowed eyes told another story. She was having fun at the expense of him Draco knew. He hadn't planned on her getting the upper hand in his little game.
"Oh Draco you always knew how to talk to me." Ginny said sweetly then leaned forward and kissed him on the tip of the nose. As she pulled away though he grabbed her arm and held her close to him.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Ginny, I can play this just as well as you." She yanked her arms back from him and turned back to her own food. With a smirk he did likewise. ~~~~~~~~~~
