Thanks to everyone who reviewed me! I LUV ya all! Oh by the way, Draco does get nicer to Ginny. And I don't own Harry Potter
_________________________
Her thoughts were killing her! The fact that she was suppose to choose between two boys was driving her wild! Of course she loved Harry, but she loved Draco too. Since the falling in the lake incident, Ginny hadn't seen Draco anywhere except in the classes that they had together and for their detentions. Their detentions in the library was always full of tension, which Draco seemed to never notice. And they hardly spoke to each other during their detentions anymore. Instead of being glad about that, Ginny was starting to get worried.
"If I honked a horn in her ear, do you think she would notice?" Ron was asking Harry, apparently talking about Ginny and her spaced-off expression.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Leave her alone, Ron. Girls need time to think. Unlike you, our lives revolve around other things besides eating, quidditch, sleeping, and eating."
"Was that an insult?" Ron narrowed his eyes.
Hermione sighed and shook her head. "Sometimes I'm amazed at how dense you are," she said.
"You shouldn't be," Harry said.
"I gotta go and get something," Ginny said suddenly, getting up. She climbed through the portrait hole. She needed to see Draco. The attraction between them was too strong and she knew it. All the days that he had ignored her had taken its toll. She needed to be with him.
"Hey Ginny!" a voice called. Ginny stopped walking and turned around. Harry came running up to her, panting. "Finally! I ran to catch up to you!"
Ginny raised her eyebrows. "Are you out of shape, Mr. Potter?" she said in a mock-stern voice. "Wait until the school hears this: Harry Potter, Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, is out of shape."
"And Ginny Weasley, Keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, is so much in VERY good shape," Harry said, eyeing her long and slender but very strong legs.
Ginny blushed. "You know who trained me."
"You know I wanted to," Harry said in a seductive voice. He leaned in towards her. "I've wanted to kiss you all week," he whispered.
Her stomach recoiled for the first time when he said that. Her mouth opened slightly in shock. Harry took that as an invitation and claimed her mouth with his.
The kiss didn't stir the feelings that it had before. Instead she was thinking: OK, you can stop kissing me now. When she refused to respond to his kisses, Harry pulled away.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
A lump formed in Ginny's throat at his words. "No. I-I just have to go," she turned away and ran quickly to the main floor of the castle. She caught sight of the tapestry that lead to Draco's room. With a choked sob, she ran through it, only to be caught in someone's arms.
"Hey, watch where the hell you're going," Draco's unmistable voice snapped.
Suddenly feeling angry at him for all the days that he had not paid her the slightest attention, Ginny shoved him away. Little slits of light that came through the tapestry gave her enough light to see him.
"How-" Ginny began.
"Weasley," Draco interrupted her. "Did you want to come and see me?" his tempting lips curled in a smirk.
"Oh, so you're back to being nasty?" Ginny snapped.
"Isn't that the way you like me?" he quirked an eyebrow.
Oh, so he was back to his arrogant self! "I wasn't coming to see you!" Ginny lied.
"Oh, really? Then where else does this tunnel lead to?"
She turned away in anger. He was acting as if the night that he had taken care of her while she was sick had never existed. Well if that was the way he wanted it. . .
"Never mind," she said, lifting the tapestry and ready to step out.
"Not so fast," he said, taking her hand from the tapestry and holding it between his strong warm ones. "Are you mad at me, Weasley?" his voice caressed her senses and sent them into oblivion. He bent and scooped her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Let me down!" she said angrily. Suprisingly, he obeyed. Ginny stood on her own two feet, facing him. "Just leave me alone!"
"What they say is true. Red heads do have hot tempers."
"Go to hell," Ginny said, turning away.
He caught her wrist and pulled her towards him. "I see you've gotten over your sickness," he said. "Does that mean I can kiss you?"
He didn't wait for her reply as he bent down and invaded her mouth. Feelings like liquid fire burned through her. With a groan, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, needing to be close to his strong body. They both knelt down on the floor, lessening their difference in height. Draco's hand cradled her head, feeling her soft silky hair.
Ginny raked her fingers through Draco's blond hair. He had stopped using that greasy gel that he had used in his earlier years at Hogwarts, and Ginny simply loved the feeling of his hair.
Draco's mouth traveled lightly across her cheek to her ear. He closed his warm mouth around her earlobe, making her gasp. She heard his soft chuckle.
"Sensitive spot, Weasley?" he whispered.
Ginny gulped and slowly nodded.
Draco's mouth journeyed downward to her neck. He gave her wet kisses and trailed his tongue down her neck. Her breath caught in her throat.
"There's going to be a winter dance," his warm breath brushed against her neck, "will you go with me?"
"I can't," she whispered. "I'm going with Harry."
"You don't love him," Draco stated it as if it was a fact. "And you know it. Break up with him and come with me."
Ginny pulled back and bit her lip. "I-I can't."
"Yes you can," his gray eyes were hypnotizing and alluring. "Say you can," his thumb traced across her lower lip, making her shudder.
"Oh God Draco," she said as she felt her will weakening. "Please don't."
"Say you will," he insisted.
She swallowed hard and drew back. "No," she had meant it to come out strong, but it came out weak.
"You have to break up with him sometime. I want you for myself," Draco said.
Ginny felt cold as he drew his hand back from her lips. "You don't understand. I still love him."
"No you don't," he said.
Ginny stood up. "Yes I do," she said, and left him
* * *
It was a week later and Ginny was preparing for the winter dance. Hermione and her had gone to Hogsmeade to buy some dress robes. Ginny's wasn't exactly fancy since her family was poor, but the robe she had picked out didn't look too shabby.
She glanced at her reflection in the mirror. The robe was light blue with blue lining on the V neck, her long sleeves, and the hem. The bodice of the robe hugged her chest. She had curled her hair and put a little bit of make-up on that she had borrowed from Lavendar. She had put matching high heeled shoes on, making her 2 inches taller.
"Are you ready to knock Harry off his feet?" Hermione asked from beside her.
Ginny turned to Hermione who was going with Ron. Hermione had bought a white robe with silver ribbons that hung from the shoulders of the robe. The material was of silk and was of lace. The bodice on Hermione's robe was also hugging her chest until it came to her waist where it bellowed out.
Ginny had practically died when she saw the robe. Hermione had been reluctant to buy it, but Ginny had insisted that she did.
Hermione had on a white headband and had curled the rest of her hair. She had silver eyeshadow on and Lavendar had helped Hermione put on some mascara and eyeliner which looked absolutely great on her!
Ginny raised her eyebrows. "Are you ready to make Ron drop dead?"
Hermione giggled. "Oh puh-lease Ginny. You look way better than me and you know it."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease yourself. You look absolutely terrific!"
Hermione blushed slightly. "Let's not kill each other with compliments and come on!"
Ginny followed Hermione out of the girls' dormitory and to the stairs that lead down to the common room. Harry and Ron were waiting at the foot of the stairs, and some boys were also in the common room, waiting for their dates to hurry up.
Harry and Ron both looked up as Hermione cleared her throat. Ginny had to bite her lip to keep from laughing at Ron's look of astonishment when he saw Hermione. His eyes practically popped out of his head and his jaw dropped to the floor. (AN: oh come on people, Ron and Hermione were totally meant to be, even though I'm not much of a Hermione/Ron fan myself)
Hermione began descending the stairs, smiling at Ron.
Ginny turned to look at Harry who pretty much had the same expression as Ron's on his face. Ginny too began descending the stairs, though slower than Hermione. She reached the foot of the stairs and looked at Harry. He was dressed in a green robe which matched his eyes perfectly.
"You- uh- look pretty," Harry said. He still had a little problem with giving girls compliments.
Ginny gave him a smile.
"I suppose we should go now," Harry said, offering her his arm. She took it and they climbed out of the portrait hole, with Hermione and Ron right behind them.
"Honestly Ron," Hermione grumbled as they made their way towards the Great Hall. "Will you stop staring at me? It's not like you haven't seen me before."
Ginny glanced behind her and could see Ron mentally shake himself.
"Sorry," he said.
Ginny smiled and both couples entered the Great Hall. It was already full and there was the sound of laughter, talking, and music. Professor Dumbledore had invited the newest hot sensation in the magical world, Bopa, to perform. Bopa was singing a fast song.
The four tables had disappeared and what looked like snow fell from the enchanted ceiling and would disappear as soon as it touched something. Mistletoe floated slowly through the air, making a couple of girls in front of them giggle when they saw it. Tables that were enough to accompany four people were moved towards the corner.
Thousands of tiny balls of lights flew around, and on closer inspection, Ginny found out that they were fairies.
"How beautiful," she breathed.
"Are you going in there or not, Potter?" a cold voice drawled. They turned around and saw Draco with Pansy Parkinson on his arm. "If not, let the rest of us through."
Ginny looked Draco up and down. He was dressed in a green robe with silver stitches, and my God, did he look sexy!
Draco caught Ginny's eyes and raked her over with his eyes. He raised his eyebrows ever so slightly as she glanced at Pansy.
Pansy had on a silk turquoise robe and had put up her hair, making her look really pretty. She gave Ginny a cold and superior look.
"Come on Harry," Ginny said, tugging Harry into the Great Hall. They found an empty table near a wall and sat down.
"All right!" Bopa cried. "We're gonna take it slow," she began swaying her hips slowly, her long black hair followed her movements.
"Wanna dance?" Harry said, standing up and offering her his arm. She took it and they strolled onto the dance floor. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist and they began moving slowly to the music.
Ginny watched as Ron and Hermione danced past them, Hermione looking like an angel and Ron staring at her. Ginny offered them a smile and looked around the Great Hall. She spotted Draco dancing with Pansy. He was whispering to her and Pansy was giggling and smiling.
Draco looked up and caught Ginny watching him. He gave her a sly smile and nipped Pansy's ear. Ginny's face turned red. She turned away and rested her face on Harry's chest.
The song came to an end. There were sounds of applause as Bopa bowed. "Thank you! I think we need another slow song!" she cried.
There was a loud, "Yeah!" from all the students that were in the Great Hall. Bopa began singing another song.
Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's neck again. They were just about to begin dancing when there was a tap on Harry's shoulder.
"You mind if I dance with her, Potter?" Draco said, daring Harry to say no.
Ginny watched Harry's expression to see if he was going to take off and tackle Draco to the ground, but instead, he just nodded.
"If it's OK with Ginny," he said, looking back at her.
Ginny nodded. Harry moved out of the way and Draco replaced him. Ginny watched as Harry moved back to the tables. Ginny hesitantly wrapped her arms around Draco's neck, watching his gray eyes roam over her face. She made sure their bodies were at least an inch apart.
"You're not dancing with Potter anymore," Draco growled as he pulled her closer. Ginny let him keep her in a close hold. She closed her eyes. She was thinking about Harry and didn't know she had said his name out loud until Draco said: "Open your eyes. I'm not Potter," Ginny forced her eyes open and gazed up into his eyes.
"You came with Pansy," she said.
Draco shrugged. "It was too late to ask any one else," he stopped dancing and took her hand. "Come on, I want you to come outside," he tugged her along through dancing couples.
Outside, it was cold. Icycles were sticking up from the ground. A white glistening pathway lead away from the castle. It looked like an icycle garden and as Ginny looked closer, she saw that some of the ice had been shaped to look like flowers.
Draco lead her down the pathway and behind a bare tree that had ice shaped into leaves on it.
"What-" Ginny began, but was silenced by his warm lips. But she drew back quickly when she thought about him kissing Pansy.
A surprised look came across Draco's face when she drew back. "Something wrong?"
"I don't want to kiss you," she said.
"Why?"
"Because you kissed Pansy," she whispered.
A smile suddenly crossed his face. "Didn't you know the only reason I did that was to make you jealous?"
Ginny nodded and let him draw her close and kiss her again. She forgot everything else and could only think about Draco.
A loud CRACK broke the silence of the night. "What was that?" Ginny peeked around the tree and nearly fainted.
Running away from them was the form of a guy. A guy with messy black hair and green robes.
