Hihiz! Thanks to everyone who kindly answered my question, you guys rock!
^_^ and yes, I do realize that that hour and a half was quite long, but if
you do take into consideration the length of a poker game without much
gambling. There were no folds, raises, and stuff like that. Card games
aren't long. Trust me, I love to play them. ^.^ newayz, on with the story
hm?
Oh, and sorry for the long wait. I'm not good with all the lovey-dovey stuff. Haha. So...yeah.
Warning: This is the FLUFF chapter! Hahaha. And I'm sorry if it's really short!!!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the things that you've never heard of. haha

"EEK!" Celestial squealed in the middle of breakfast the next day, making everybody turn their heads to look at them.
"Shut up, Celeste!" Ginny exclaimed, sending glares at those who were watching them, making them draw back their stares, "I already have a headache from drinking too much yesterday, I don't need one from you."
"Sorry, but you gotta admit it's pretty exciting!"
"For you, not me. I made out with Draco Malfoy." Ginny said, trying to sound disgusted. She could feel his eyes on her, sending a tingly feeling up her spine. She just didn't exactly know where he was. She glanced around the Great Hall. Celestial, being the observant person she is, noticed.
"The Slytherin table is behind you. And yes, he's staring at you." Ginny growled, attempting to hide herself by putting her head on the table and trying to act small. "Not working."
"Sometimes I swear you're telepathic..." Ginny muttered. Celestial just grinned.
~ Draco ~
He studied the Gryffindor table. Even though they were brainless and very uninteresting, his table wasn't any better. He watched Ginny's back as she kept talking to an Asian girl sitting across from her, most likely her friend. She seemed to have a headache, making her keep putting her head down on the table. Her friend kept giggling.
He gritted his teeth and felt his hand ball up into a fist as he noticed that Potter was staring at Ginny. His stomach lurched in disgust as he happened to come upon Weasel [ meaning Ron ] and Granger sending looks to each other. Two other guys were deep into conversation.
"Draco?" Draco turned his head only to find horribly grotesque Pansy Parkinson herself. "What are you doing?" her voice was high-pitched and very annoying, "you're staring at the Gryffindor table. Are you crazy?"
"Of course not, Pansy. I'm trying to find their weaknesses. Why the hell else would I be staring at the annoying prats?" Draco drawled.
"You're so smart!" Pansy exclaimed, trying to wrap her arms around Draco. However, he noticed this and didn't give her a chance to. He stood up and left the Great Hall.
~ Tutoring session ~
Ginny stumbled into the Transfiguration classroom and slumped down in a chair, rubbing her temples with her fingers. She had just barely gotten through her classes. Luckily for her, she didn't have potions, although Professor McGonagall was very disappointed when she wasn't paying attention to her boring lectures.
"You seemed out of it during Transfiguration today." Draco stated from the doorway, making Ginny jump a little.
"Why do you care?" Ginny asked sending him a death glare.
"I know that glare. You've been hanging around me too much," Draco smirked, adding, "not that it's a bad thing."
"Yeah. And being that this major headache is all your fault, I think it IS a bad thing."
Draco rolled his eyes. He opened his bag and pulled out a small beaker. "Drink. Helps hangovers."
Ginny's eyes softened "So that's how you got through your classes."
"More or less. It doesn't take away the pain, just dulls it. You'll still have to concentrate on what you're doing more than usual, although I know that will be very hard." He said, winking at her.
She drank the potion. "Ha ha ha. That's impossible. Although I do have a question for you."
Draco narrowed his eyes, knowing this wasn't good. "What?"
"About last night..."
Before she could finish, Draco interrupted. "Ugh. How did I know I would have to talk to you about that today?"
"Maybe because it was awkward and totally uncalled for!" Ginny stood up.
"Why are you getting so mad? It's not like you didn't like it."
Ginny blushed, but Draco couldn't tell if it was from anger, or from embarrassment. "Well maybe I did like it, but it was still uncalled for and I DON'T like surprises."
"I'll make a mental note of never giving you a surprise party." Noticing the confused look on her face, Draco mentally slapped himself. He shouldn't have said that.
"Why would you ever even CONSIDER giving me a party?"
Draco thought fast, but was stumped. "I don't know. It was just the first thing that popped in my mind. Do you have to be such a complete prat over this?"
"Excuse me? I'M being the prat?"
"Yes! Just admit it!"
"Admit what, Draco?" Ginny said, eyes narrowed, malice in her voice.
And with that, he kissed her. It was filled with emotion and passion. Ginny tried to resist, but hopelessly failed. . Ginny felt like she was flying, her spirit was free. Draco felt like he was on fire.
He was the one that ended the kiss, although not after a long time. He just stared at her. The look in his eyes was hazy, unable to decipher. "Don't tell me you didn't feel that."
"And if I did?"
"Then you shouldn't deny it."
"Maybe I want to deny it. Maybe I don't want to get murdered this young by my own family."
"Love is complicated, Ginny. Most would risk everything for it."
"But this is different, Draco. I may love you, but I love my family dearly as well. I don't want to risk losing my family. I can't imagine choosing between."
"Then we'll let you have both."
"How is that possible?"
"What if I try being nice?"
Ginny's eyes narrowed once again. "Is that even possible?"
Draco chuckled. "I guess we'll have to find out."
-------------------------------------------------------
The next night, Draco and Ginny decided to have a "secret" relationship. They decided to tell the only person that either one of them trusted, which was Celestial. Draco, however, was still very cautious of her.
"Can you cover for me, Celeste?" Ginny pleaded. There was a Hogsmeade trip this weekend, and Ginny was planning on spending it secretly with Draco. After a whole lot of begging and pleading later, Celestial finally agreed.
-------------------------------------------------------
* Mondo seemed startled by her direct question. His blue-green eyes clouded as he placed a wrinkled hand on her arm. "Forgive me, child, if I've made you feel unwanted. You are more than welcome to share our home."
He hesitated, as if the words were painful to express. "I only wish you would not spend so much time with Adam."
"But why? Adam and I truly care for each other."
Mondo's hand jerked away. He rose with such abruptness, the juice in Quinn's goblet spilled. Swiftly he gathered the parchment from the table.
With his back to Quinn, he spoke in an emotion-choked voice, "If I could be Melikar for one brief moment, I'd cast a spell over you and Adam that was so powerful, you'd never be able to bear the sight of one another." *
~ Celestial POV ~
Their relationship's been going on for about three weeks already. [ Yes, time jump. SORRY ] I was getting VERY tired of hearing about everything Draco did for Ginny. Amazingly, he was actually a very sweet guy. Not that I cared, I had my own off and on relationships with the hot guys in Hogwarts. But I could hardly get in a normal conversation from Ginny. Hell, I could barely get in a conversation with her period. It was always, Draco did this, or Draco did that. You'd think they were getting married or something. It was still a "secret", which was pretty amazing with the gossip queen normally clinging to the prince of the relationship. [ Draco ]
It was now the second week of December and the winter holiday was coming up. From the wonderful mouth of Ginny Weasley, I learned that she was terribly sad that she was staying at Hogwarts for the holiday and Draco was going home. I had a hard time keeping my happiness down when Ginny told her. Maybe I could actually talk to Ginny without being bombarded with useless, unwanted information. In a way, I guess I could say I'm jealous about what they have. They love each other, or so they say. But I guess I can see it in their eyes that they are definitely infatuated by each other.
However, the most important part about being a couple and being in love is trust. My mind pondered as a plan arose. Shall I test the strength of their trust? I knew if one of them didn't trust the other, their relationship would crumble. My mind turned away from that thought without a moment's hesitation and without a look back. I was determined to put my plan into action.
