Chapter 9
She woke up, feeling blind for a moment as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She looked down at her watch and was shocked to see it was almost two in the morning. And yet…she heard music still playing in the Great Hall.
She yawned, closing her eyes and snuggling back into the chair.
That's when she remembered what had happened after Hermione had dragged Ron and Harry from the room.
She and Draco had…oh bloody hell…and then she had fallen asleep.
Then how was she dressed? And how was she suddenly in the chair beside his bed??
She opened her eyes and looked around. Her robes didn't even look like they had been moved around. Her hair seemed perfectly in order. She looked down at the bed, seeing Draco asleep…and fully clothed.
She sighed and closed her eyes again. This was bloody great. She was dreaming that she was a sex-crazed porn star.
Bloody, bloody hell!
"It wasn't a dream, if that's what you're wondering. I just couldn't let Pomfrey find us starkers. Wouldn't want you to get expelled."
She opened her eyes and saw that Draco was awake. He was smiling.
"So…we…" She stuttered, avoiding his eyes. He chuckled.
"Yeah, we did. You…you aren't regretting it, are you?" He tipped her chin up so she had to look at him. The blue-gray of his eyes was warm and she almost gasped. They were warm with emotion…for her. The emotion wasn't love…it couldn't be love…but they were overflowing with feelings for her and she'd never had that before. Not from anyone.
"No. I'm…not regretting it, but…I just…have never…you know," Again, her eyes dropped.
Draco laughed and reached over to squeeze her hand, "You were my first too, love."
She smiled and brought her eyes back up to meet his, "So your reputation of being Hogwarts' most notorious womanizer is just rumor?"
He grinned, "Shh…don't tell anyone."
She laughed and leaned down to kiss him. Blimey, he smelled good, like cinnamon and hot chocolate.
"So, does this make us a couple?" Draco asked, pulling her down on top of him. She rolled over so she was beside him instead of on top of him.
"Is that what you want?" She asked curiously, playing with Draco's unruly hair. It looked good messy.
"Yes," He whispered softly, kissing her forehead gently, "Now, go back to the ball. I'm pretty sure it's still going on."
She nodded and squeezed Draco's hand before entering the halls of Hogwarts. She walked with her head high, proud to be able to say that she and Draco were a couple.
She noticed her brother's eyes locked on her and her smile faltered. He started walking towards her and she looked to her sides, trying to find an escape route. There weren't any. People were packed in the room like sardines and it was a major accomplishment just moving.
"Hey, Gin," He said when he reached her. She sighed in relief when Hermione and Harry quickly appeared on her brother's side.
They'd hold him back if things got ugly…if he found out his sister wasn't the angel she appeared to be.
"So, how's the ball?" She asked nervously, again, trying to find a way out of the room. It was useless unless she suddenly learned to apparate.
"Fine." Ron replied, "How was the hospital wing?" His eyes narrowed and she felt like a criminal being interrogated by the Minister of Magic.
Hiding her fear, she shrugged nonchalantly, "It was pretty boring. I fell asleep and just woke up a minute ago." At least it wasn't a lie.
Hermione nodded and tugged on Ron's arm, "Let's dance. I…love this song."
She had to give Hermione credit. She was a true friend for trying to save her from the wrath of Ron. Unfortunately, her brother caught on.
"You had sex with him, didn't you??"
"Why do you always assume Draco and I are attempting to or having sex??" She retorted, feeling her face redden with anger.
"Draco? Since when do you call him Draco??"
"Blimey, Ron. It's his name. I don't go around calling you Weasley!"
"You did have sex with him!!!! You had sex with the enemy!" Ron's face turned an amazing shade of red that matched the crimson of the Gryffindor House Banner. She had never seen him this angry.
"No, Draco and I didn't have sex! Blimey, you are such a bloody git!" It was not a lie. What they had done wasn't sex. Sex was hard and emotionless and could only be done once. Sex was a one-night stand.
They had made love, something that was nothing like sex.
So she wasn't lying.
"Virginia, I swear, if you're lying…"
"Ronald Weasley!! I'm not a little girl. I'm fifteen years old and if I choose to have a relationship with Draco Malfoy, then I will. You can't control my life anymore then I can control yours!" She ignored the looks of shock that the three sixth years were giving and squeezed through the crowd into the hallway. She pressed her back against the stonewall of the corridor and slid to the floor.
"Why did I have to be born a Weasley?" She mumbled to herself.
"Ah…lighten up, Ginger. I wouldn't want you any other way."
She looked up and smiled as Draco walked out of the shadows of the hallway.
"I thought Pomfrey had you locked in the Hospital Wing," She said, standing up. Blimey, he was tall, even when she was at her full height.
"I escaped. The place is boring without you." He was grinning mischievously and she laughed.
"They're gonna' send you to Azkaban for escaping, you know," She teased as Draco pulled her to his chest.
"Will you visit?" He asked, brushing a soft kiss to her forehead, her nose, her eyelids.
"I'll break you out," She whispered. She didn't realize it, but at that moment, she fell in love.
Fell in love with the enemy.
A/N- Ok, if you're reading my review, please ignore any by 'Megan.' That's my sister and she is insane. I'd kill her, but I don't think they'll give me a computer to write on in jail
Thanks, everyone, for reviewing. Sorry it's short.
