Chapter 4: Comfort me… Hold me Tight

"I already told you that I wont be your chaperon!" She said coldly. Ginny kept moving away from him, trying as best as she could- she was really at the edge of her seat.

"… And why may I ask are you following me?" Draco remained silent. Then he shrugged still feeling quiet proud. "… it's a free country, it was just a coincidence that we goon the same ride." he said flatly. Ginny shook her head and fastened her seat belts. Draco saw this and tried to fasten his. He kept on tugging his seat belt. Trying to figure out how to fasten them,. Ginny, annoyed because he was keeping the row boat from going. Shook her head and reach out to fasten it herself. "Push here, insert here- get it? geesh" she said.

Draco glared at her and sat straight, trying not to act like a complete idiot.

Finally, the rowboat began to start moving. But it was moving so slow.

"How long is this ride?" Draco asked. "I don't know."

The rowboat began to move a little bit faster now.

They entered a very dark cave. And it really was very dark. No lights, no nothing- just complete darkness. They cant see anything but the color black.

Ginny began to quiver, she had always feared the dark- always.

Draco was used to darkness. He spent his time of punishment in the dungeons. In complete darkness, just like this. He sensed that Ginny was afraid. He then had the urge to comfort her. Yeah right his mind said. She'll push me out of this boat Good point.

Seconds past, still nothing happening.

But suddenly an alligator jumped out of the water!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Ginny screamed. She jumped and held on to anything she can hold. She was sure she would have had a heart attack if she wasn't holding Draco so tight.

Draco's heart went boom too. Bloody hell! What the? his thoughts were cut off, when he felt a girl hold on him tight and screamed to the top of her lungs. He wanted to shove her off, but wanted to keep her holding on to him also.

The alligator disappeared- everything was still dark.

So this is what they call realistic animals. More like fucking scary beasts! Ginny thought angrily. She was still holding onto her sit mate. Not aware of what she was doing.

Until she could smell a scent- a masculine cologne. Her senses came back. And she let go of her tight grip, after realizing that she was holding onto Draco Malfoy.

He felt her let go of him. Quiet mixed with a positive and negative reaction. He exhaled some air he didn't know he was holding. It was dark again. There are more surprises I bet. Indeed there were- this time there were elephants. Ginny was terrified and was at the edge of her sit. Draco was trying to keep his cool but lost it when a giant anaconda appeared. It was indeed humongous it's fangs were realistic.

This animal reminded Ginny of the basilisk. She closed her eyes This isn't real. This isn't the basilisk. This is only a plastic animal. She chanted to herself. She was terrified. She wanted so much to hold on to Draco once more, but insisted to not show her fear.

Draco remembered what his father said during his second year. About the youngest Weasley and the Chamber of Secrets. He knew that she must have been afraid of the snake and he knew this anaconda brought back her fear. He wanted to regret what he was doing, but he just couldn't resist. He held her tight- trying his best to comfort her and try to make her feel safe. Ginny's eyes were still closed, he could tell "You'll be fine" he muttered.

Ginny didn't know what was happening. Strong hands were comforting her- with enough care and patience she felt all weird inside. Could this be Draco Malfoy?

She opened her eyes and she saw that the cave's end was nearing. Sunlight was pouring from the exit. She looked up to the person who held her tight. Draco Malfoy.

It feels so right now, hold me tight,
Tell me I'm the only one,
And then I might,
Never be the lonely one.
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night,
It's you, you you you - oo-oo - oo-oo.
