            For the next few days Ginny and Draco had a hard time seeing each other. They were only able to steal a few moments here and there. They were both busy with classes and the potions final seemed to be consuming a lot of their time. Draco was also practicing Quidditch whenever he had spare time. When the season was over he would be able to see Ginny much more often.

            The day after Jake kissed Ginny on the cheek in the library he subtly touched her butt in a workroom. The workroom was set up to have enough room for three pairs of students to work on potions. Ginny and Jake were in one of the stations and Hermione and Draco were at another station while a third pair occupied the last one. The spaces were very small and tight. Ginny and Jake had been working on their potion in the very close confines ans they would occasionally touch. One time as Jake walked past Ginny she felt him brush her butt. Initially she shrugged it off as an accident but the second time she knew he was doing it on purpose.

            She moved her position so he couldn't easily touch her again. For a while the position shift worked but a while later he blatantly reached around and grabbed her butt. He gave it a light squeeze and Ginny quickly pulled away, almost knocking over their potion. She didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone and looked around and noticed no one was really paying any attention to them. She looked Jake in the eye and quietly but forcefully whispered for him never to do that again. He just grinned at her and winked saying, "whatever you say Ginny."

            Draco had seen the whole episode. He'd pretended to be absorbed in what Hermione was saying to him when Ginny scanned the room for witnesses. He couldn't hear what Ginny told Jake but from his expression he didn't look upset about it. Was Ginny cheating on him with that guy? He automatically went through the motions to prepare the potion while his mind focused on Ginny.

            First the kiss in the library and now this. He didn't know what to think. His mind told him it was impossible and that Ginny wouldn't ever do that to him but he couldn't control the jealously and hatred that was consuming him. He couldn't understand why, if Ginny wasn't guilty and wasn't cheating on him, why wouldn't she tell him about Jake's behavior? It didn't make sense to him and he hated the thought that Ginny would break his trust like this. He needed to be calm and wait. They hadn't been able to see each other much lately so it was possible she just hadn't been able to tell him yet. That had to be what it was because the possibility that Ginny was cheating on him was something he couldn't consider. She wasn't the type of person to do that and he thought she genuinely cared about him. Hermione asked him a question and he switched his mind to the task at hand. He'd talk to Ginny about it later. If she didn't come to him first then he'd go to her and talk about it.

            Ginny breathed a sigh of relief as she settled into a chair in the outside the locker rooms the Quiddtich teams used. She was finally done having to be around Jake for the day. Tomorrow she'd have to go and work with him on the potion but at least for today she could forget about him. She was missing Draco in a way she never thought possible, she actually physically ached. It didn't seem possible but somehow that was what it felt like. They were both so busy and their schedules rarely matched. Ginny knew she needed to mention the Jake incidents to Draco but was scared to. She didn't know how he would react and she was afraid it was going to be somewhat violent. What on earth was happening? A year ago no boys knew she was even alive and now she had three guys chasing her around. She didn't like it either because there was only one guy she wanted and she was afraid of losing him because of the other two. Love was so complicated…love. She was in love him. It was hard to believe a Weasley falling for a Malfoy but that was exactly what happened. It was going to be a hard road to travel but she was prepared to do it. She knew Draco had Quidditch practice right now, so she decided to wait for him.

            Draco was finally done with practice and all he wanted to do right now was find Ginny and kiss her until he couldn't think anymore. To kiss her until he couldn't worry about his father or what would happen when he found out. He knew it was inevitable that people find out about them and in all honesty he didn't want to hide Ginny away like she was something he was ashamed of. Quite the opposite actually, he wanted to tell everyone that she was his girlfriend. It seemed childish but he couldn't help it.  He walked out into the hallway next to the locker room and was surprised to find Ginny standing there waiting for him. He walked over smiling.

            "Hey. What are you doing here?" He watched the groups of people as they passed by, wishing they weren't here so he could have Ginny all to himself.

            "I came to see you. It seems like forever since I've seen you, I've been missing you." She inched closer to him, still keeping an appropriate looking distance.

            "Mmm…it has been a long time. We've both been busy with stuff. Stuff like potions, speaking of which how's that going?" Draco wanted her to tell him about Jake instead of having to bring it up himself.

            "Oh it's going. What about you?" She answered, looking away quickly and missing the look of disappointment that flashed in Draco's eyes.

            "Granger is definitely smart. She's pretty amazing actually, I'm lucky she's my partner." Draco told Ginny.

            "I didn't realize you liked Hermione so much." Ginny couldn't stop the slight edge of jealously in her voice.

            "I like her as a partner, that's all I'm saying." Draco was enjoying seeing Ginny a little jealous. It made him ecstatic to think that she was possessive about him.

            "As a partner? What does that mean?" Ginny shifted on her feet restlessly.

            "It means I like her as a partner. What about Jake?"

            Ginny stiffened slightly. "What about Jake?" She asked defensively.

            "Do you like him? Is he a good partner?" Draco's eyes narrowed at her sudden change in attitude, it seemed almost guilty.

            Ginny looked at Draco and saw the look of anger in his eyes and all her resolve to tell Draco about Jake disappeared like smoke. "Yeah, he's a good partner. Look, Draco I have to go now and get to class."

            Draco frowned at her as she half ran down the hallway away from him. He still didn't think she was cheating on him with Jake but her attitude and reluctance to talk about it made him second-guess his logic. She seemed like she felt guilty about something and the way she ran from him was alarming. He had to trust her. He didn't have a choice about it. He started down the hall in the opposite direction of Ginny and somehow knew that she wasn't guilty of anything. Having made that decision he went off to class with a lot less to worry about. It would be too late that he would regret his reluctance to be direct and ask Ginny about Jake, far too late.
