Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters or the Harry Potter world. I do, however, own my plot, seeing as how it came from my brain. I anyone sees something that may belong to them, I'm sorry, I have no intention on stealing anything from anyone. (unless they're sugar cookies!)

Draco Malfoy and Virginia Weasley ascended the stairs to Draco's Bedroom. Once they got there, both sat on the bed. Virginia leaned back against the headboard hugging a pillow and sighed.
Draco moved toward her and put a comforting arm around her shoulders. They both sat in silence for a moment before Ginny spoke.
"I tried to tell Hermione, Draco." She began, "But I just couldn't. I mean, it's Hermione for Christ's sake, my best friend, but I just couldn't. Who knows what she would think?"
"I know that you are very hesitant and scared about telling her, Ginny, but think of the relief you will feel. I know this is stressing you out, all this deceit, but even if Hermione is angry, she'll get over it and appreciate the truth." Draco told her.
Ginny looked over and him and smirked. "Who knew that you could be so sensitive."
"Ah, yes." Draco said with a wry smile. "About that. Just don't let the word out."
Draco leaned over and kissed Ginny on the cheek. She turned and looked at him once more and he leaned down and kissed her lips softly. Ginny threw the pillow aside and leaned into him, wanting more of the sweet taste of Draco Malfoy. He snaked his arm around her waste while her hand found its way to his back. He pulled her closed and kissed her even more. They explored each others mouths in silent passion only interrupted by the sound of each others quiet moans and sighs.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Draco groaned, annoyed at the rude interruption from the sweet taste of his fiancée's lips.
"Yes?" Draco asked in a very angry and annoyed tone. Ginny shot him a reprimanding look from where she was in front of the mirror, casting cosmetic charms on her hair.
"Draco, it's your mum. Your guests will be leaving soon, so I suggest that you go downstairs." Narcissa Malfoy said from the others side of the thick wooden door.
Virginia turned to her Fiancé. Eyeing his sloppy hair, she cast some cosmetic charms his way to right his hair and make it smart again.

"Ginny" Hermione said in that bossy sort of demanding tone. "We need to talk." She eyed the gray-eyed man standing next to the young fiery-headed witch. "Alone."
Ginny's arm was nearly yanked from the socket as she followed the auburn haired single-mother to silent corner of the ballroom. "What's going on, Hermione?"
Hermione raised an eyebrow. "That's what I'd like to know." Partly in the shadows with candle light flickering about made Hermione look very scary in Ginny's eyes.
"What ever do you mean, Hermione?" She asked innocently
"You know very well what I mean, Virginia Weasley." Hermione said in a stern voice. "Now I know that there is something going on between you and Malfoy-and I'm not talking about the sudden engagement. I'm talking about you being shy and scared, and keeping secrets from me. That's not like you, Ginny. I know that there is more than meets the ordinary wizard's eye going on."
Ginny looked exposed and worried. "I, uh," She stuttered as she tried to think. "I would tell you, Hermione," Ginny said, a sly smile forming on her face, "But Then I'd have to kill you."
"Ginny, this isn't funny! I want to know if something is wrong, I want to help!" A shadow passed over Hermione's eyes for just a moment. "He's not hurting you is he, Ginny??"
"What? No!" Ginny exclaimed. "He would never ever do that, Hermione. Trust me. He really does care about me."
"Then what's wrong, Ginny?"
"Nothing is wrong.something is just.Oh, I don't know." Ginny's eyes scanned the room. Most of the guests had left by now. "Listen, Hermione. I'm just not ready yet, I'll let you know soon. But not know, okay?"
Hermione sighed and embraced the young girl. "okay, Ginny. Just take care of yourself."

Please review. I'm sorry it took me so long. I've been in a rut, but I'm determined to finish my stories. Lots of Love from LadyTiffanyAnne.
