Ginny hurried down the halls in the almost total darkness. She had borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak to get out and her feet made no sound on the cold stone floor. She made it out to the front lawns and headed toward the quidditch pitch. She got there, looked around and pulled off the cloak. He wasn't there yet. She sat down on the soft grass and hummed to herself. Suddenly, she jumped sky high when someone grabbed her from behind. She was pulled around and saw a flash of silvery-blonde hair before hungry lips came down on hers. She kissed back and wrapped her arms around him. They pulled away, lay down on the grass next to each other, and just stared up at the stars, holding hands, for an eternity. But eternity ended too soon when Draco broke the silence. "So, have you heard about this ball?" "mm-hm" "Wanna go with me?" Ginny sat up and looked at him sullenly, "We can't. Our little secret, remember?" "It's a masquerade ball, remember?" being sarcastic. Ginny smiled and nodded. "I almost forgot that part. Allright. I'll go with you." "Great." His face instantly lit up. "I'll meet you there." "Ugh!" "What?" "I have nothing to wear." Draco just smiled his evil smile. "That's where your surprise comes in." "You mean you're not the surprise?" "Very funny." He reached behind him and pulled out a package, wrapped in simple brown paper and twine. "Don't open it. Wait till before the ball. I put a charm on it so you can't open it until two hours before the ball starts." "Great. Spoil all the fun." Ginny gave him a mock anger look and kissed him again. They lay there until they could see a thin line of light on the horizon. They said their goodbyes and went back to their own beds. Ginny managed to catch a little sleep before she had to get up. But Draco, on the other hand, lay awake. Not even wanting to sleep, a drunken smile on his face.
