Not wanting to be late for her detention, Ginny rushed to the Potions
classroom. To her surprise, Draco was standing outside the classroom,
looking rather calm.
"Draco..what are you.."
"Just wanting to be late."
"What?"
"Didn't he say being behind schedule means more detention?"
"Well..yes.."
Draco pulled Ginny towards him and wrapped his arms around her. He whispered in her ear. "Which means I get to stay with you for a longer time." Draco kissed her lightly and checked his pocket watch. "6:04..perfect."
As they had predicted, Snape lengthened their detention 30 more minutes. Their task was to go outside and clean up all the leaves that had fallen, 'without using magic.' The weather was carrying winds quite blustery, and Ginny wrinkled her nose as she stepped out into the bitter climate. Draco noticed Ginny's lips turning blue.
"Here..put this on." He took off his cloak and placed in on her shoulders.
"But.."
"No 'but's. I don't want you getting sick. Although if we don't hurry, I think we will get sick, both of us." He handed Ginny a rake, a supply Snape had told Filch to give them. Ginny looked over it and raised her eyebrows. But she went on raking leaves into a pile, and so did Draco. After a good 2 hours they were done. With beads of perspiration on their foreheads they came back into the inviting walls of Hogwarts. Snape was waiting for them eyeing them with his piercing glances.
"Done already?" He asked in a suspicious tone.
"Yes professor."
"Very well then. Go on."
With a sigh of relief Ginny and Draco retreated upstairs on the moving staircases. Ginny felt Draco's arm wrap around her waist.
"Do you want to stop by?" he asked with a sly grin.
"I don't think so Mr. Malfoy. Not tonight."
"Well..alright. But only this time."
"Yes sir."
As he kissed her, on the other side of the floor, Harry was staring at her with a deep frown. Coming towards the Gryffindor Tower, Ginny stopped walking and looked up at Harry who was blocking her way. She tried to walk past him but he grabbed her wrist and turned her around. Furiously, he asked, "What were you doing with Malfoy all this time?!"
"Harry, please, I'm tired. We had detention."
"Detention? Why would a girl like you get detention?"
"Because..Snape saw me in the Slytherin common room." "Wh-what? Gin.."
"Harry, you know we're going out. Good night."
He watched Ginny rush past him and walk into the Girl's Dormitory. Tears welled up in his eyes and the irate look disappeared.. "But I love you Ginny." He whispered, the sound of his voice mixing in with thin air.
