Later that night...
Draco went to his room ready to fall into his bed and sleep. But as he got there he noticed that someone was in his bed. He pulled back the sheets and revealed a sleeping Tom. Draco sighed and went to go put some pajamas on.
He sank into the bed quietly as to not wake the sleeping kid. When Draco closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he heard Tom say, "So, how'd it go?"
"Fine. Just studied some with her and now I am back."
"Did you tell her?"
Draco sighed and said, "Tom, go to sleep or go back to your own room."
"Did you tell her?"
Draco sighed and said, "No. I didn't tell her."
"What did she get you?"
Draco opened his eyes knowing that this kid wasn't going to let him sleep. He sat up in bed and grabbed his guitar which he had under his bed and pulled it out.
"Oh so cool! Uh... who's this Bryan Adams guy?"
"Just someone who was really popular in the early 90's. Can I go to sleep now?"
"Yeah," the kid put his head back down on the pillow and cuddled up into the thick sheets and went to sleep.
"That's not exactly what I meant," Draco said, but he sighed, turned around, and turned off the lights.
Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room...
Hermione and Lavender were very nervous. They had no clue where Harry and Ron where and they knew that Ginny was probably coming back in just a little while.
"Maybe we should go out there and look for them," Lavender suggested.
Before Hermione could say a word, the door opened and Ginny stepped through.
"Oh, Ginny! Good thing you're back! We don't know where Harry and Ron are!" Hermione told her.
"We're right behind her," Ron said, not at all too happy.
Hermione and Lavender looked from Ron to Harry and then to Ginny; none of them looked happy at all.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
"I'll tell you what happened!" Ron said angrily. "We caught her snogging with Malfoy up in the tower!"
Hermione and Lavender looked shocked.
"Ugh! Here we go again! Why can't you just stop it!?"
Ron and Ginny both crossed their arms and didn't say another thing.
"Did you know that Ginny was tutoring Malfoy all summer long?" Harry asked the two girls.
They looked at themselves and then looked at Ginny and she gave them a small nod.
"Yes, we did," Lavender said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Ron yelled.
"Calm down, Ron, you don't need to wake up all the others!" Ginny screamed.
"We didn't tell you because we promised Ginny we wouldn't say a word."
The two men looked at Ginny and she said, "Yes, I did. I didn't need the two of you going and running your mouth around."
Ron smiled and said, "Hey, good idea!"
"Why you little jerk!" Ginny said to him. "He has done nothing mean to either of you so far this year!"
"So, that doesn't mean anything," Ron said.
"Oh, yes it does! If you tell anyone about this I will personally see that everyone knows about Mr. Rupkins and Mr. Blankie!"
"You wouldn't!"
"I would," Ginny said coolly.
Hermione shot a glance over at Harry and he said, "I won't say a word." he turned to Ginny and crossed his arms over his chest, "It sounds to me like you have feelings for him."
"We're just friends Harry," Ginny told him.
"Really? Is that what you do with Collin and Seamus, because I know that their your friends too."
"Maybe we do, but you just haven't caught us yet."
Ron glared at his sister.
"Look guys, why don't you two just head up to bed while we sit here and talk with Ginny," Hermione said.
"Okay," Harry said and kissed his girlfriend good night. Harry grabbed Ron's arm and pulled him along.
"It better not be girl talk! You guys better be telling her that he's not right for her!" Ron said while being dragged.
Lavender blew him a kiss and said, "Night, Ronnie!"
As soon as they were gone, the two girls grabbed Ginny's arms and said, "So he kissed you!!" they both shrieked.
Ginny blushed and nodded.
"What was it like!?" Hermione asked.
"Did you guys do more!?" Lavender asked.
"Why'd he kiss you?" and the questions went on and on.
Ginny sighed, smiled, and rolled her eyes. This was going to be one long night.
The next morning...
Ginny was awoken by a loud squawking noise. She rubbed her eyes and saw an owl sitting on her bedside dresser. She took the note from its leg and handed it a piece of fudge that her mother just recently sent her. She patted its head and the owl flew away.
Ginny quickly opened the letter and read it.
Angel,
Sleep well last night? I did, kept on having such wonderful dreams about a gorgeous red head. Well, I guess I better pay up my side of the deal. Meet me at Honeydukes at noon. I'll buy us some lunch.
D.M.
Ginny smiled, kicked off her sheets, and ran all the way to Hermione's room.
She banged on the door, but no one said a word, so she just walked in. She saw before her Harry, with no shirt on, cuddling with Hermione in bed.
"Awww! How cute!" she said out loud. "All right! Hermione, come on, get up! I need some help."
They both stirred.
Harry woke up first and said, "Who's there?"
Ginny sighed; he was blind as a bat without his glasses on, so she said, "It's me, Harry."
"Ginny? What's wrong?"
"I need to talk with Hermione, it's important."
"Okay." He turned to Hermione who was still asleep. "Hey, 'Mione'," he said softly and kissed her cheek.
She woke up and smiled, "Morning sweetie."
"Morning. Ginny's here; she needs to talk to you."
"Oh," she sat up in bed and Harry got out of it.
He was about to leave when Ginny said, "Thanks, Harry."
"For what?" he turned towards her and asked.
"For being calm about what happened last night."
Harry sighed and said, "Gin, I like to see myself as the calm, non-ballistic brother," he said and smiled. "But it doesn't mean that I like him, because I don't."
"I know."
Harry smiled and hugged her, "I have to go before someone wakes me up and reports me to McGonagall."
Both girls laughed and he left.
"What's up, Gin?"
Ginny bounced over to Hermione's bed and jumped up on it. She handed her the note that she got, and Hermione smiled, "So what do you need?"
"Your long-sleeved, silky, green blouse?"
Hermione got out of bed, went to her closet, and gave the girl the shirt. She also handed her a pair of jeans, "Now get in that bathroom and get changed; we still have your hair and make-up to do."
Ginny hugged Hermione and said, "Thank you!"
"No problem, Ginny," and she ran to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To get Lavender!"
Ginny smiled and entered the bathroom.
At Honeydukes...
Draco sat at a booth near the back of the room. Every time he heard the door open, his head darted up to see if it was her, but it never was. He looked up at the clock over the bar and it said it was 12:05.
"She's late," he said. He started to rap his fingers against the table. He heard the door open once again and he looked up. It was Ginny, but she looked more different than ever before. Her hair was in ringlets; she was wearing a low cut, silky green shirt and nice pair of jeans that seemed to fit her as a second pair of skin. Make-up was applied lightly to her face with glitter across her cheek. She wore a fairy choker, and to top it all off, on her right arm was her "Virginia" bracelet. He has never seen her look so beautiful before.
Meanwhile...
"Ron! I have to go! I'm meeting Marie at Honeydukes for lunch!" Ginny lied.
"All right! Fine! But I don't want to see you around..."
"Bye, Ron!" and Ginny ran off.
"You don't think she's going to meet Malfoy do you?" He looked at Harry, Hermione, and Lavender.
They all shook their heads. Ron shrugged and put his arm around his girlfriends' waist.
Ginny ran all the way to Honeydukes. She knew that she was late and she knew that Draco was always impatient.
As she opened the door, the restaurant was packed. She hoped that Draco got there and was holding them a seat. She looked all around, but she didn't see him. As she went further into the back she was getting nervous that he didn't show up. But as Ginny went all the way to the back, there he was sitting at a booth in the corner.
She stood there looking at him. He was wearing a dark blue, long sleeve shirt with a pair of khaki's. His hair, as always--since that summer-- looked so great and his bangs fell over his forehead. She blushed when she realized that he was staring at her. "Probably wondering why I'm just standing here," she smiled and walked over to the table.
He stood up, just like a gentleman should when a lady comes to the table, and offered her a seat across from him.
She sat down and said, "Hi."
He didn't smile and said, "You're late."
"Sorry, Ron wasn't about to let me leave his sight after what happened last night." Ginny bit her lip and Draco's gaze went down. They had never talked about or brought up the times when he kissed her, so it felt a little awkward when she brought it up.
"But it shouldn't!" Draco told himself. He took a hold of her hand and opened his mouth to say something, but they were interrupted when someone cleared their throat.
The two turned their head expecting to see Harry or Ron, but it was Tom.
Draco sighed. "What's up, kid?"
"I'm hungry."
Draco laughed, "Are you now?" Tom nodded his head. Draco looked to Ginny who only smiled at him and said, "Come on, you can eat with us."
"I want my own side though!" he said without asking.
Draco smiled and saw a little bit of him in the kid, but he heard Ginny say, "Not with that attitude you aren't."
Tom looked up at Ginny and then over to Draco. Draco just shrugged his shoulders. Tom sighed and said, "Can I please have a side to myself?" he said with much disgust.
"Sure you can," she got up and moved over to Draco's side. "Move on over."
"Not with that attitude you aren't," Draco laughed at her.
Ginny went slightly wide-eyed. He was mocking her. "I'll show him," she said to herself and sat down on his lap.
Draco had a very shocked expression on his face and heard Tom laughing from across them.
Ginny put one arm around his neck and started to shift her hips.
Draco let out a little gasp and asked, "What are you doing?" while trying to hold her hips still.
"Just trying to get comfortable," she said and wiggled around some more.
He had to move her off of him before he lost control over himself, and he shoved her off of him.
Ginny looked a little insulted. "Was he really that upset?" she asked herself. "I was just fooling around." She picked up her menu and looked through it.
The waiter came a moment later and said, "Well hello, Mister Draco. So good to see you again."
"Yes, thank you."
"What would you like for lunch?"
The two boys looked at Ginny and she said, "I'll have the pasta with the red sauce, with a side over of salad with Italian dressing, and a butterbeer," she said and handed him the menu.
"I'll have the same," Draco said and handed his menu to the waiter too.
"I'll have a giant ice cream sundae with chocolate ice-cream..."
"He'll have a cheeseburger, fries, and a soda pop."
"Very good, sir," the waiter said.
"And hurry back with the food," Draco told him.
"Yes, sir," the waiter said and was off.
Ginny sat there, still upset that she thought that she upset Draco. She let out a sigh and put her chin on her balled up fist.
Tom kicked Draco in the shin. It didn't hurt that much, but he still rubbed it, and gave an evil glare to the kid. Tom was motioning with his head for Draco to look at Ginny. He did and noticed the expression on her face. She didn't look too happy.
He looked back at Tom and Tom mouthed, "Say something to her!"
Draco looked shocked. This kid was 11 years old, and he was trying to get him together with Ginny.
Before another thing happened, the food arrived.
Ginny picked at her food while Draco ate his slowly, and Tom, like a little kid, shoved his food into his mouth so he could get his ice cream.
Ginny looked up and said, "So, Tom. How are you liking school?"
"It's good, so far."
"Making any new friends?"
Tom didn't answer back; his eyes gazed over to someone as they passed the table.
"Hi, Helena," Tom said and waved.
The girl could only blush and walk on.
Tom sighed, "I don't think she likes me very much."
"Who was that?" Draco asked.
"Helena Creevy."
"Helena Creevy? You mean Collin Creevy's youngest sister?"
"Yeah, but she's nothing like the stupid, 'Oooo, let me take your picture,' idiot. She's different than him and all her other brothers. She's special."
Draco looked over to Ginny and realized he was in the same boat as Tom was. He reached into his pocket and gave the boy two galleons. "Here."
The boy took them and asked, "What's this for?"
"Go over there and buy her an ice-cream," Draco told him.
"Are you going to buy Ginny ice-cream too?"
Draco looked at Ginny and said, "Oh, don't you worry about Ginny. I'll make sure she gets her dessert."
Tom got off the booth bench and said, "Okay, thanks."
Ginny and Draco watched as Tom went over to Helena. The two kids walked over to the counter and got an ice-cream cone. Helena kissed Tom on the cheek, and the two, ran out of the restaurant together.
Draco turned to Ginny and was about to say something when she said, "It's so nice of Dumbledore to let all the kids to come to Hogsmeade." She saw as Draco nodded his head and stayed quiet. "Look," Ginny continued, "I'm sorry. I was just fooling around."
Draco moved closer to her and said, "Yes, but sometimes if you fool around too much, someone starts to lose a little control."
Ginny blushed; she knew now why he threw her off of him. "I... I wasn't thinking."
Draco moved closer and said, "What do you think was going to happen when a gorgeous red head sits in my lap and wiggles around?"
"I... I..."
Draco smiled and laughed slightly, "What happened to the seductive huntress from last night?"
"I have no clue where she came from."
"Really?" He was only inches away from her, "Do you think..."
He was cut off when Ginny grabbed his neck and pulled him down to meet her lips. Draco was a little shocked at this act, but started moaning when he felt her tongue probe his mouth. He kissed her back, harder, rougher, feeling as though he couldn't get close enough to her.
Ginny let out a moan of pain, she was in an uncomfortable position, with her body being all twisted.
Draco pulled away thinking that he was being too rough with her. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No. My body's kind of twisted."
"Oh," he picked her legs up and draped them over his lap, and went back to kissing her.
Her hands moved from his hair to underneath his shirt. Her hands started exploring his chest, again. Her hands finally glided over to his nipples. She started to tease them and heard him gasp and moan into her mouth.
Draco broke apart from the kiss to allow them both to regain a little oxygen, but made sure that his lips never left her skin. He applied kisses down her jaw and nipped at her neck.
As Ginny opened her eyes she saw two people sitting at their table.
"Draco, we have company."
Draco, not feeling at all embarrassed to be caught, said, "I swear if it's your brother and Potter, there will be blood shed."
"It's Hermione and Lavender."
"Oh." He sat up a little, but still kept his arms around her waist.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ginny asked.
"Well, we are going to meet the boys here for some ice-cream, so we decided to come and see if you guys were still here to warn you," Hermione told them.
"Oh, well, thanks," Ginny said.
"It's so good to see that you two finally got together," Lavender said.
The two went wide-eyed and slightly moved away from each other.
Ginny looked at Draco and Draco was staring at her.
"We're just Friends," they said at the same time, and both sounded unhappy with the other's reply.
"I better get out of her before the others get here. I'll see you later, Virginia," he turned to the girls and said, "Bye," and without another word, he was gone.
"I can't believe you!" Ginny said.
"What?" both Lavender and Hermione said.
"That was a little uncalled for!"
"Well, I'm sorry, Ginny. You two are out here making out like you two are going out and making sure that everyone knows about it! What are we supposed to think?" Lavender said to Ginny.
Ginny looked down and said, "Yeah, you're right. I have no clue what's going on."
"We do. It's called being in love," Hermione said, touching the young girl's arm.
"Yeah, I might be, but he's not," she got up, "I'll see you guys later," and with that, she too was gone.
"But he is," Hermione said and Lavender nodded in agreement.
Monday morning...
Ginny was sitting at her desk that Monday morning wondering where Draco was.
Suddenly he showed up and ran up to his seat.
"Good of you to show up," Ginny said to him.
Draco's leg started to bounce up and down and he said, "Yeah, well, I've got to take this test don't I?" His leg started to bounce more.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. It's just that when I get nervous my leg starts to bounce and..."
Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom and said, "Good morning, class. Are you all ready for the first test of the year?" No one said anything.
"And what?" Ginny whispered to him.
"I drink a whole bunch of water," he said as his hand flew into the air.
"Yes, Mister Malfoy?"
"Can I quickly run to the bathroom?"
"Quickly, but I want you to come right back," McGonagall told him, and he ran out.
Ginny watched him leave and laughed.
Wednesday...
Draco went to class, still nervous, wondering what he got on his Transfiguration exam.
As class started, he noticed that Ginny never showed up. He looked over to Hermione and Lavender and mouthed, "Where's Ginny?"
"Sick," the two girls mouthed back.
Professor McGonagall started to hand out papers. When she got to Draco, she put down his paper and said, "Congratulations." He looked down at his paper and saw he received a perfect score.
Draco got up and ran to the door.
"Mr. Malfoy! Where do you think you are going?"
"Uh... bathroom," and he left.
Hermione got up and said, "Uh... I have to... uh... oh who cares! I'll be right back!"
Professor McGonagall watched as her other student got up and ran after Draco. The whole class started whispering and some even giggled.
"That's quite enough! I know that Ms. Granger has a logical explanation of leaving and I don't think that it has anything to do with Mr. Malfoy, so I don't want to hear another word about it!" The students quieted up and McGonagall started her class.
Out in the hallway...
"Malfoy, where are you going?" Hermione yelled after him.
Draco stopped and turned around, "To the bathroom, Granger." Hermione crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. "And then I was figuring on sneaking into Gryffindor Tower."
"I don't think that you should."
"Stop thinking for one minute and tell me what's wrong with Ginny."
"She's fine, just a little sick."
"I don't think it's just a little; she wouldn't be out of class if it was just a little."
"Okay, so maybe more."
"And that's why I want to go up and see her."
"Believe me, she won't be happy to see you."
"Why, did I do something wrong?"
"No! It's just that it's not a pretty site in there; she'll kick you out."
"Then she'll kick me out, but I just want her to know that I care enough to actually go up there and risk getting sick too."
"Uh... that's not very likely to happen," Hermione said a little slowly, hoping that he wouldn't catch her meaning.
"What? I think I may be confused." Hermione didn't say a word, and he sighed, "Look, I'm not letting you leave until you tell me what's wrong with her and what the password is." Hermione sighed again and tried to think her decision over. "Look, the longer you stand out here with me, the more everyone is going to think that you ran out of class to snog with me, and then word is going to get to Potter, and we all are going to be in trouble." Hermione still decided to think, knowing that Harry wouldn't believe any of that. "You may be missing very valuable information."
"All right! Well... Ginny's! ... Well, it sort of a girl problem."
"Oh," he said, not fully understanding, but then started to realize it. "Oh. OH!!" He paused for a moment and then said, "Is it really supposed to be THAT bad?"
"Well, sadly for Ginny it is. So, are you still going to go up, or are you coming back to class?"
Draco didn't need to think twice of his answer. He said, "I'm going up."
"Fine, but don't say that I didn't warn you. The password is 'butterfree'."
"Thanks, Hermione," and he started to walk off.
"You love her, don't you?" Hermione asked, not really knowing where the heck it came from.
Draco turned around. He smiled as he put a finger to his lips and said, "Shhh," and ran off.
Draco got into the tower easy enough, and there was no one in the common room because classes were going on. He forgot to ask where Ginny's room was, though. So he started opening doors up, starting at the top of the staircase.
The first one was locked. So as he moved on to the second one, he found it unlocked and walked in. He started looking around the room trying to see if there was anything that showed him it was Ginny's room when he heard the toilet being flushed and someone walking out into the room.
"Hey."
Ginny squeaked and jumped, not expecting anyone to come into her room.
"What are you doing here?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.
Draco looked at Ginny; her hair was a mess from not being brushed that morning, her eyes were all puffy and red from crying so much, and she was wearing a very large, over-sized jean shirt that reached to the middle of her thighs.
"I came to see you. Hermione said that you were sick."
"Did she also tell you that I didn't want anyone in here?!"
"Um... yes," he said shocked, never seeing this side of Ginny before.
"Then why did you come up here? Aren't you afraid you're going to catch whatever it is I have?"
"That can't happen. Hermione said that..."
Ginny put her hand up to her head, "She told you what was wrong with me?" Draco nodded his head. "Oh God, this is so embarrassing! That girl is going to get it!!"
Draco, wanting to change the subject and maybe put a smile on her face, said, "You know what's more embarrassing?"
"No, but do enlighten me, please," she said with a little meanness in her tone.
"Being caught wearing a shirt that you apparently stole from my room."
She looked down and blushed, but smiled. She felt something bubble up in her stomach. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Draco followed her. He rushed to her side, pulled her hair back, and rubbed her back as she spilled the contents out from her stomach. Draco was just glad that he was one of those types that had very strong stomachs.
"Oh God, why are you in here?" Ginny mumbled, "Don't you think this is embarrassing enough?"
"Oh stop it. Come on, let's get you into bed."
"I don't think I can move."
Draco grabbed her and carefully put an arm under her legs and under her back and carried her. He placed her in her bed and said, "I'll be right back."
He went into the bathroom and took out a liquid that was drinkable and would take the smell and taste from her mouth.
He went back to her side and said, "Here, drink this."
She took it and slowly drank it. As she looked back to Draco, she almost spit the liquid out of her mouth. He was undressing. He had his robes and shirt off, and was already going for his pants. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Well," he said as he sat down on her bed to be able to remove his socks and shoes, "if I'm going to be lying in a bed with you all day long, I want to be comfortable."
"Oh," was all Ginny could say. He was clad only in his silk black boxers.
He took the cup from her hand and placed it on her bedside dresser, then laid down, "Come here," he said, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her down. Her head was right between his neck and shoulder. "Is there anything that I can do to help?"
"Not unless you know an incantation to put heat just on my stomach."
"What about a heat binding spell?"
"I don't want to be sweating to death, just on my stomach."
"Let's see what I can do," he reached over to where he put his clothes and grabbed his wand. Pointing it at her stomach, he said an incantation and automatically there was warmth on her stomach.
"Thank you," she said as she closed her eyes.
"No problem." He paused for a minute, "What *are* you doing with my shirt?"
"Uh... house elves accidentally put it in my suitcase when I was leaving you house?" Ginny really did suck at making up stories. How was she supposed to tell him that she was in love with him and wanted something personal from him to always remember him by?
"Uh-huh, yeah, okay. You'll tell me later then."
"Do you want it back?"
"No, you keep it; it looks better on you." he smiled wickedly at her, closed the curtains incase any wandering students came back up to the room, and wrapped her up in his arms.
"Shut up, Ferret."
"If you say so, Weasel. If you say so." And the two of them fell asleep.

Later that night...
Draco went to his room ready to fall into his bed and sleep. But as he got there he noticed that someone was in his bed. He pulled back the sheets and revealed a sleeping Tom. Draco sighed and went to go put some pajamas on.
He sank into the bed quietly as to not wake the sleeping kid. When Draco closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he heard Tom say, "So, how'd it go?"
"Fine. Just studied some with her and now I am back."
"Did you tell her?"
Draco sighed and said, "Tom, go to sleep or go back to your own room."
"Did you tell her?"
Draco sighed and said, "No. I didn't tell her."
"What did she get you?"
Draco opened his eyes knowing that this kid wasn't going to let him sleep. He sat up in bed and grabbed his guitar which he had under his bed and pulled it out.
"Oh so cool! Uh... who's this Bryan Adams guy?"
"Just someone who was really popular in the early 90's. Can I go to sleep now?"
"Yeah," the kid put his head back down on the pillow and cuddled up into the thick sheets and went to sleep.
"That's not exactly what I meant," Draco said, but he sighed, turned around, and turned off the lights.
Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room...
Hermione and Lavender were very nervous. They had no clue where Harry and Ron where and they knew that Ginny was probably coming back in just a little while.
"Maybe we should go out there and look for them," Lavender suggested.
Before Hermione could say a word, the door opened and Ginny stepped through.
"Oh, Ginny! Good thing you're back! We don't know where Harry and Ron are!" Hermione told her.
"We're right behind her," Ron said, not at all too happy.
Hermione and Lavender looked from Ron to Harry and then to Ginny; none of them looked happy at all.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
"I'll tell you what happened!" Ron said angrily. "We caught her snogging with Malfoy up in the tower!"
Hermione and Lavender looked shocked.
"Ugh! Here we go again! Why can't you just stop it!?"
Ron and Ginny both crossed their arms and didn't say another thing.
"Did you know that Ginny was tutoring Malfoy all summer long?" Harry asked the two girls.
They looked at themselves and then looked at Ginny and she gave them a small nod.
"Yes, we did," Lavender said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Ron yelled.
"Calm down, Ron, you don't need to wake up all the others!" Ginny screamed.
"We didn't tell you because we promised Ginny we wouldn't say a word."
The two men looked at Ginny and she said, "Yes, I did. I didn't need the two of you going and running your mouth around."
Ron smiled and said, "Hey, good idea!"
"Why you little jerk!" Ginny said to him. "He has done nothing mean to either of you so far this year!"
"So, that doesn't mean anything," Ron said.
"Oh, yes it does! If you tell anyone about this I will personally see that everyone knows about Mr. Rupkins and Mr. Blankie!"
"You wouldn't!"
"I would," Ginny said coolly.
Hermione shot a glance over at Harry and he said, "I won't say a word." he turned to Ginny and crossed his arms over his chest, "It sounds to me like you have feelings for him."
"We're just friends Harry," Ginny told him.
"Really? Is that what you do with Collin and Seamus, because I know that their your friends too."
"Maybe we do, but you just haven't caught us yet."
Ron glared at his sister.
"Look guys, why don't you two just head up to bed while we sit here and talk with Ginny," Hermione said.
"Okay," Harry said and kissed his girlfriend good night. Harry grabbed Ron's arm and pulled him along.
"It better not be girl talk! You guys better be telling her that he's not right for her!" Ron said while being dragged.
Lavender blew him a kiss and said, "Night, Ronnie!"
As soon as they were gone, the two girls grabbed Ginny's arms and said, "So he kissed you!!" they both shrieked.
Ginny blushed and nodded.
"What was it like!?" Hermione asked.
"Did you guys do more!?" Lavender asked.
"Why'd he kiss you?" and the questions went on and on.
Ginny sighed, smiled, and rolled her eyes. This was going to be one long night.
The next morning...
Ginny was awoken by a loud squawking noise. She rubbed her eyes and saw an owl sitting on her bedside dresser. She took the note from its leg and handed it a piece of fudge that her mother just recently sent her. She patted its head and the owl flew away.
Ginny quickly opened the letter and read it.
Angel,
Sleep well last night? I did, kept on having such wonderful dreams about a gorgeous red head. Well, I guess I better pay up my side of the deal. Meet me at Honeydukes at noon. I'll buy us some lunch.
D.M.
Ginny smiled, kicked off her sheets, and ran all the way to Hermione's room.
She banged on the door, but no one said a word, so she just walked in. She saw before her Harry, with no shirt on, cuddling with Hermione in bed.
"Awww! How cute!" she said out loud. "All right! Hermione, come on, get up! I need some help."
They both stirred.
Harry woke up first and said, "Who's there?"
Ginny sighed; he was blind as a bat without his glasses on, so she said, "It's me, Harry."
"Ginny? What's wrong?"
"I need to talk with Hermione, it's important."
"Okay." He turned to Hermione who was still asleep. "Hey, 'Mione'," he said softly and kissed her cheek.
She woke up and smiled, "Morning sweetie."
"Morning. Ginny's here; she needs to talk to you."
"Oh," she sat up in bed and Harry got out of it.
He was about to leave when Ginny said, "Thanks, Harry."
"For what?" he turned towards her and asked.
"For being calm about what happened last night."
Harry sighed and said, "Gin, I like to see myself as the calm, non-ballistic brother," he said and smiled. "But it doesn't mean that I like him, because I don't."
"I know."
Harry smiled and hugged her, "I have to go before someone wakes me up and reports me to McGonagall."
Both girls laughed and he left.
"What's up, Gin?"
Ginny bounced over to Hermione's bed and jumped up on it. She handed her the note that she got, and Hermione smiled, "So what do you need?"
"Your long-sleeved, silky, green blouse?"
Hermione got out of bed, went to her closet, and gave the girl the shirt. She also handed her a pair of jeans, "Now get in that bathroom and get changed; we still have your hair and make-up to do."
Ginny hugged Hermione and said, "Thank you!"
"No problem, Ginny," and she ran to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To get Lavender!"
Ginny smiled and entered the bathroom.
At Honeydukes...
Draco sat at a booth near the back of the room. Every time he heard the door open, his head darted up to see if it was her, but it never was. He looked up at the clock over the bar and it said it was 12:05.
"She's late," he said. He started to rap his fingers against the table. He heard the door open once again and he looked up. It was Ginny, but she looked more different than ever before. Her hair was in ringlets; she was wearing a low cut, silky green shirt and nice pair of jeans that seemed to fit her as a second pair of skin. Make-up was applied lightly to her face with glitter across her cheek. She wore a fairy choker, and to top it all off, on her right arm was her "Virginia" bracelet. He has never seen her look so beautiful before.
Meanwhile...
"Ron! I have to go! I'm meeting Marie at Honeydukes for lunch!" Ginny lied.
"All right! Fine! But I don't want to see you around..."
"Bye, Ron!" and Ginny ran off.
"You don't think she's going to meet Malfoy do you?" He looked at Harry, Hermione, and Lavender.
They all shook their heads. Ron shrugged and put his arm around his girlfriends' waist.
Ginny ran all the way to Honeydukes. She knew that she was late and she knew that Draco was always impatient.
As she opened the door, the restaurant was packed. She hoped that Draco got there and was holding them a seat. She looked all around, but she didn't see him. As she went further into the back she was getting nervous that he didn't show up. But as Ginny went all the way to the back, there he was sitting at a booth in the corner.
She stood there looking at him. He was wearing a dark blue, long sleeve shirt with a pair of khaki's. His hair, as always--since that summer-- looked so great and his bangs fell over his forehead. She blushed when she realized that he was staring at her. "Probably wondering why I'm just standing here," she smiled and walked over to the table.
He stood up, just like a gentleman should when a lady comes to the table, and offered her a seat across from him.
She sat down and said, "Hi."
He didn't smile and said, "You're late."
"Sorry, Ron wasn't about to let me leave his sight after what happened last night." Ginny bit her lip and Draco's gaze went down. They had never talked about or brought up the times when he kissed her, so it felt a little awkward when she brought it up.
"But it shouldn't!" Draco told himself. He took a hold of her hand and opened his mouth to say something, but they were interrupted when someone cleared their throat.
The two turned their head expecting to see Harry or Ron, but it was Tom.
Draco sighed. "What's up, kid?"
"I'm hungry."
Draco laughed, "Are you now?" Tom nodded his head. Draco looked to Ginny who only smiled at him and said, "Come on, you can eat with us."
"I want my own side though!" he said without asking.
Draco smiled and saw a little bit of him in the kid, but he heard Ginny say, "Not with that attitude you aren't."
Tom looked up at Ginny and then over to Draco. Draco just shrugged his shoulders. Tom sighed and said, "Can I please have a side to myself?" he said with much disgust.
"Sure you can," she got up and moved over to Draco's side. "Move on over."
"Not with that attitude you aren't," Draco laughed at her.
Ginny went slightly wide-eyed. He was mocking her. "I'll show him," she said to herself and sat down on his lap.
Draco had a very shocked expression on his face and heard Tom laughing from across them.
Ginny put one arm around his neck and started to shift her hips.
Draco let out a little gasp and asked, "What are you doing?" while trying to hold her hips still.
"Just trying to get comfortable," she said and wiggled around some more.
He had to move her off of him before he lost control over himself, and he shoved her off of him.
Ginny looked a little insulted. "Was he really that upset?" she asked herself. "I was just fooling around." She picked up her menu and looked through it.
The waiter came a moment later and said, "Well hello, Mister Draco. So good to see you again."
"Yes, thank you."
"What would you like for lunch?"
The two boys looked at Ginny and she said, "I'll have the pasta with the red sauce, with a side over of salad with Italian dressing, and a butterbeer," she said and handed him the menu.
"I'll have the same," Draco said and handed his menu to the waiter too.
"I'll have a giant ice cream sundae with chocolate ice-cream..."
"He'll have a cheeseburger, fries, and a soda pop."
"Very good, sir," the waiter said.
"And hurry back with the food," Draco told him.
"Yes, sir," the waiter said and was off.
Ginny sat there, still upset that she thought that she upset Draco. She let out a sigh and put her chin on her balled up fist.
Tom kicked Draco in the shin. It didn't hurt that much, but he still rubbed it, and gave an evil glare to the kid. Tom was motioning with his head for Draco to look at Ginny. He did and noticed the expression on her face. She didn't look too happy.
He looked back at Tom and Tom mouthed, "Say something to her!"
Draco looked shocked. This kid was 11 years old, and he was trying to get him together with Ginny.
Before another thing happened, the food arrived.
Ginny picked at her food while Draco ate his slowly, and Tom, like a little kid, shoved his food into his mouth so he could get his ice cream.
Ginny looked up and said, "So, Tom. How are you liking school?"
"It's good, so far."
"Making any new friends?"
Tom didn't answer back; his eyes gazed over to someone as they passed the table.
"Hi, Helena," Tom said and waved.
The girl could only blush and walk on.
Tom sighed, "I don't think she likes me very much."
"Who was that?" Draco asked.
"Helena Creevy."
"Helena Creevy? You mean Collin Creevy's youngest sister?"
"Yeah, but she's nothing like the stupid, 'Oooo, let me take your picture,' idiot. She's different than him and all her other brothers. She's special."
Draco looked over to Ginny and realized he was in the same boat as Tom was. He reached into his pocket and gave the boy two galleons. "Here."
The boy took them and asked, "What's this for?"
"Go over there and buy her an ice-cream," Draco told him.
"Are you going to buy Ginny ice-cream too?"
Draco looked at Ginny and said, "Oh, don't you worry about Ginny. I'll make sure she gets her dessert."
Tom got off the booth bench and said, "Okay, thanks."
Ginny and Draco watched as Tom went over to Helena. The two kids walked over to the counter and got an ice-cream cone. Helena kissed Tom on the cheek, and the two, ran out of the restaurant together.
Draco turned to Ginny and was about to say something when she said, "It's so nice of Dumbledore to let all the kids to come to Hogsmeade." She saw as Draco nodded his head and stayed quiet. "Look," Ginny continued, "I'm sorry. I was just fooling around."
Draco moved closer to her and said, "Yes, but sometimes if you fool around too much, someone starts to lose a little control."
Ginny blushed; she knew now why he threw her off of him. "I... I wasn't thinking."
Draco moved closer and said, "What do you think was going to happen when a gorgeous red head sits in my lap and wiggles around?"
"I... I..."
Draco smiled and laughed slightly, "What happened to the seductive huntress from last night?"
"I have no clue where she came from."
"Really?" He was only inches away from her, "Do you think..."
He was cut off when Ginny grabbed his neck and pulled him down to meet her lips. Draco was a little shocked at this act, but started moaning when he felt her tongue probe his mouth. He kissed her back, harder, rougher, feeling as though he couldn't get close enough to her.
Ginny let out a moan of pain, she was in an uncomfortable position, with her body being all twisted.
Draco pulled away thinking that he was being too rough with her. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No. My body's kind of twisted."
"Oh," he picked her legs up and draped them over his lap, and went back to kissing her.
Her hands moved from his hair to underneath his shirt. Her hands started exploring his chest, again. Her hands finally glided over to his nipples. She started to tease them and heard him gasp and moan into her mouth.
Draco broke apart from the kiss to allow them both to regain a little oxygen, but made sure that his lips never left her skin. He applied kisses down her jaw and nipped at her neck.
As Ginny opened her eyes she saw two people sitting at their table.
"Draco, we have company."
Draco, not feeling at all embarrassed to be caught, said, "I swear if it's your brother and Potter, there will be blood shed."
"It's Hermione and Lavender."
"Oh." He sat up a little, but still kept his arms around her waist.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ginny asked.
"Well, we are going to meet the boys here for some ice-cream, so we decided to come and see if you guys were still here to warn you," Hermione told them.
"Oh, well, thanks," Ginny said.
"It's so good to see that you two finally got together," Lavender said.
The two went wide-eyed and slightly moved away from each other.
Ginny looked at Draco and Draco was staring at her.
"We're just Friends," they said at the same time, and both sounded unhappy with the other's reply.
"I better get out of her before the others get here. I'll see you later, Virginia," he turned to the girls and said, "Bye," and without another word, he was gone.
"I can't believe you!" Ginny said.
"What?" both Lavender and Hermione said.
"That was a little uncalled for!"
"Well, I'm sorry, Ginny. You two are out here making out like you two are going out and making sure that everyone knows about it! What are we supposed to think?" Lavender said to Ginny.
Ginny looked down and said, "Yeah, you're right. I have no clue what's going on."
"We do. It's called being in love," Hermione said, touching the young girl's arm.
"Yeah, I might be, but he's not," she got up, "I'll see you guys later," and with that, she too was gone.
"But he is," Hermione said and Lavender nodded in agreement.
Monday morning...
Ginny was sitting at her desk that Monday morning wondering where Draco was.
Suddenly he showed up and ran up to his seat.
"Good of you to show up," Ginny said to him.
Draco's leg started to bounce up and down and he said, "Yeah, well, I've got to take this test don't I?" His leg started to bounce more.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. It's just that when I get nervous my leg starts to bounce and..."
Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom and said, "Good morning, class. Are you all ready for the first test of the year?" No one said anything.
"And what?" Ginny whispered to him.
"I drink a whole bunch of water," he said as his hand flew into the air.
"Yes, Mister Malfoy?"
"Can I quickly run to the bathroom?"
"Quickly, but I want you to come right back," McGonagall told him, and he ran out.
Ginny watched him leave and laughed.
Wednesday...
Draco went to class, still nervous, wondering what he got on his Transfiguration exam.
As class started, he noticed that Ginny never showed up. He looked over to Hermione and Lavender and mouthed, "Where's Ginny?"
"Sick," the two girls mouthed back.
Professor McGonagall started to hand out papers. When she got to Draco, she put down his paper and said, "Congratulations." He looked down at his paper and saw he received a perfect score.
Draco got up and ran to the door.
"Mr. Malfoy! Where do you think you are going?"
"Uh... bathroom," and he left.
Hermione got up and said, "Uh... I have to... uh... oh who cares! I'll be right back!"
Professor McGonagall watched as her other student got up and ran after Draco. The whole class started whispering and some even giggled.
"That's quite enough! I know that Ms. Granger has a logical explanation of leaving and I don't think that it has anything to do with Mr. Malfoy, so I don't want to hear another word about it!" The students quieted up and McGonagall started her class.
Out in the hallway...
"Malfoy, where are you going?" Hermione yelled after him.
Draco stopped and turned around, "To the bathroom, Granger." Hermione crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. "And then I was figuring on sneaking into Gryffindor Tower."
"I don't think that you should."
"Stop thinking for one minute and tell me what's wrong with Ginny."
"She's fine, just a little sick."
"I don't think it's just a little; she wouldn't be out of class if it was just a little."
"Okay, so maybe more."
"And that's why I want to go up and see her."
"Believe me, she won't be happy to see you."
"Why, did I do something wrong?"
"No! It's just that it's not a pretty site in there; she'll kick you out."
"Then she'll kick me out, but I just want her to know that I care enough to actually go up there and risk getting sick too."
"Uh... that's not very likely to happen," Hermione said a little slowly, hoping that he wouldn't catch her meaning.
"What? I think I may be confused." Hermione didn't say a word, and he sighed, "Look, I'm not letting you leave until you tell me what's wrong with her and what the password is." Hermione sighed again and tried to think her decision over. "Look, the longer you stand out here with me, the more everyone is going to think that you ran out of class to snog with me, and then word is going to get to Potter, and we all are going to be in trouble." Hermione still decided to think, knowing that Harry wouldn't believe any of that. "You may be missing very valuable information."
"All right! Well... Ginny's! ... Well, it sort of a girl problem."
"Oh," he said, not fully understanding, but then started to realize it. "Oh. OH!!" He paused for a moment and then said, "Is it really supposed to be THAT bad?"
"Well, sadly for Ginny it is. So, are you still going to go up, or are you coming back to class?"
Draco didn't need to think twice of his answer. He said, "I'm going up."
"Fine, but don't say that I didn't warn you. The password is 'butterfree'."
"Thanks, Hermione," and he started to walk off.
"You love her, don't you?" Hermione asked, not really knowing where the heck it came from.
Draco turned around. He smiled as he put a finger to his lips and said, "Shhh," and ran off.
Draco got into the tower easy enough, and there was no one in the common room because classes were going on. He forgot to ask where Ginny's room was, though. So he started opening doors up, starting at the top of the staircase.
The first one was locked. So as he moved on to the second one, he found it unlocked and walked in. He started looking around the room trying to see if there was anything that showed him it was Ginny's room when he heard the toilet being flushed and someone walking out into the room.
"Hey."
Ginny squeaked and jumped, not expecting anyone to come into her room.
"What are you doing here?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.
Draco looked at Ginny; her hair was a mess from not being brushed that morning, her eyes were all puffy and red from crying so much, and she was wearing a very large, over-sized jean shirt that reached to the middle of her thighs.
"I came to see you. Hermione said that you were sick."
"Did she also tell you that I didn't want anyone in here?!"
"Um... yes," he said shocked, never seeing this side of Ginny before.
"Then why did you come up here? Aren't you afraid you're going to catch whatever it is I have?"
"That can't happen. Hermione said that..."
Ginny put her hand up to her head, "She told you what was wrong with me?" Draco nodded his head. "Oh God, this is so embarrassing! That girl is going to get it!!"
Draco, wanting to change the subject and maybe put a smile on her face, said, "You know what's more embarrassing?"
"No, but do enlighten me, please," she said with a little meanness in her tone.
"Being caught wearing a shirt that you apparently stole from my room."
She looked down and blushed, but smiled. She felt something bubble up in her stomach. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Draco followed her. He rushed to her side, pulled her hair back, and rubbed her back as she spilled the contents out from her stomach. Draco was just glad that he was one of those types that had very strong stomachs.
"Oh God, why are you in here?" Ginny mumbled, "Don't you think this is embarrassing enough?"
"Oh stop it. Come on, let's get you into bed."
"I don't think I can move."
Draco grabbed her and carefully put an arm under her legs and under her back and carried her. He placed her in her bed and said, "I'll be right back."
He went into the bathroom and took out a liquid that was drinkable and would take the smell and taste from her mouth.
He went back to her side and said, "Here, drink this."
She took it and slowly drank it. As she looked back to Draco, she almost spit the liquid out of her mouth. He was undressing. He had his robes and shirt off, and was already going for his pants. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Well," he said as he sat down on her bed to be able to remove his socks and shoes, "if I'm going to be lying in a bed with you all day long, I want to be comfortable."
"Oh," was all Ginny could say. He was clad only in his silk black boxers.
He took the cup from her hand and placed it on her bedside dresser, then laid down, "Come here," he said, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her down. Her head was right between his neck and shoulder. "Is there anything that I can do to help?"
"Not unless you know an incantation to put heat just on my stomach."
"What about a heat binding spell?"
"I don't want to be sweating to death, just on my stomach."
"Let's see what I can do," he reached over to where he put his clothes and grabbed his wand. Pointing it at her stomach, he said an incantation and automatically there was warmth on her stomach.
"Thank you," she said as she closed her eyes.
"No problem." He paused for a minute, "What *are* you doing with my shirt?"
"Uh... house elves accidentally put it in my suitcase when I was leaving you house?" Ginny really did suck at making up stories. How was she supposed to tell him that she was in love with him and wanted something personal from him to always remember him by?
"Uh-huh, yeah, okay. You'll tell me later then."
"Do you want it back?"
"No, you keep it; it looks better on you." he smiled wickedly at her, closed the curtains incase any wandering students came back up to the room, and wrapped her up in his arms.
"Shut up, Ferret."
"If you say so, Weasel. If you say so." And the two of them fell asleep.
