Hermione tried to comfort Harry, to at least give him some measure of peace about Ginny but she failed dismally. He left the room with Ron in tow, calming telling Hermione never to mention it again. It was evident that Harry was wounded and felt betrayed by Ginny, and Hermione hated to see the gulf between them. She had a sinking feeling that something was about to happen, and that that something was going to catastrophic.
On her was to Draco's room, Ginny employed every kind of stealth possible. She ducked behind statues, faked interest in various paintings and even pretended to be lost. Eventually she made it safely to his room and quietly said the password. Knowing Draco must have gotten her letter and would be expecting her to try and meet him; she happily plopped herself on his bed to wait.
She looked around remembering the last time she'd been here. Surprisingly, she wasn't upset or disturbed by the memories. All that filled her mind was the memory of how Draco's hands felt touching her body, and the taste of his kiss. She relished those memories and easily became lost in them.
Draco walked in to find Ginny sitting peacefully on his bed. Initially he was somewhat shocked and surprised to see her but a smile broke his face as his emotions turned to joy.
"Maybe you're better at sneaking around than I'd originally thought." Ginny jumped when Draco spoke. "You have some ability obviously, because no one saw you on your way up here. And I must tell you I'm impressed that you remembered the password."
"I know. It's pretty impressive isn't it? I've got mad skills in stealth that you underestimated." Ginny moved and sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at Draco.
He smiled at her in such a tender way that it stole her breath. She smiled back to hide her reaction. Draco turned away and pulled off his robes. Underneath he wore a simple white t-shirt reading that read "Rock n Roll" in bright red letters, and some jeans. Ginny laughed.
Draco turned around, "What?" he asked curiously.
"You." She laughed again. "You're wearing a t-shirt that says, "rock n roll". What a scandal! A Malfoy voluntarily wearing muggle clothes!" Ginny dissolved into laughter again.
Draco walked over to the bed and sat next to her.
"I know, my father hates them. I have to admit that they're very comfortable." Draco reached over and took Ginny's hand in his, running his fingers lightly over her knuckles.
"Now you know why muggles like to be in them instead of robes."
"You know what my favorite thing to be inside of is?" Draco continued to massage her hand, Ginny felt herself begin to slowly melt.
"Mmm...your Quidditch robes?" Ginny guessed.
"Nope."
"What's your favorite thing to be inside then?" Ginny yawned tiredly.
"You."
Ginny looked up at Draco and a blush crept over her face.
"Me? Draco that's..." Ginny furrowed her brow and searched for the right word.
"Cliché?" Draco tried to hide his hurt feelings by using a harsh tone.
"Beautiful." Ginny corrected and leaned over to kiss him. Ginny took his face between her hands. "That's the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me. I love it when you look at me like you did when you said it. I feel like I finally found where I belong when I'm with you. I love you Draco."
It was the first time she'd ever said it to him. He was stunned. He hadn't even thought to hope Ginny would ever love him. He knew he loved her. It was a simple fact, something that would never change or fade, but never did he dream she'd return his feelings. He felt like his whole world, his whole future, had suddenly been given to him.
"For how long Ginny? Until the next hot body comes along?" Draco lashed out, expressing his hidden fears.
"Draco, I'll love you forever. Until I die, and probably even after that I'll love you. I'm yours if you want me." Ginny told him honestly.
"Can you save me?" Draco hadn't meant to ask the question that floated around his mind and seemed incredibly random for their conversation.
"Save you from what? From your past? Your family? Only you can do that but I'd certainly love to be your future. I can give you everything you've ever wanted. I'll live with you, eat with you, sleep with you, have your babies and watch them grow up. I want to live and die with you Draco. All you have to do is reach out and take me."
Ginny scooted away and slightly out of Draco's reach.
He stared at her. He was at a complete loss for words; she was offering him more than he'd ever thought possible. She offered him more than his family or friends had ever offered. Slowly he stood up and walked to stand in front of Ginny. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, because this boy had suddenly become her whole world and she was terrified that he'd turn his back on her.

"Is there some reason you think I'd want to talk to you? I must tell you that all I really want to do is punch your smiling little face." Harry snarled at Jake. Jake had cornered Harry in the library, where he was trying to study. They were hidden from view in a secluded part of the library.
"Tsk.Tsk. Don't you want to know how Ginny kisses? She's really sweet about it at first, then the frisky pussy comes out." Jake taunted.
"Keep talking and you'll regret it." Harry said through clenched teeth.
"Oh come on, Potter. I've seen the way you look at her. You watch her, mentally undressing and savagely kissing every part of her tender, juicy body. Everyone sees it, you're too transparent for your own good."
"Shut Up!" Harry commanded.
"You know you want her. You want to hear her scream your name while you drive yourself into her tight little body, her breasts flapping up and down with every thrust-"
The sound of Harry's fist colliding with and breaking Jake's nose was easily audible. Jake reeled backwards in pain and then smirked at Harry, while his nose gushed blood.
"Why don't we settle this like grown wizards, not stupid muggles. A duel?" Jake questioned.
"Time and Place, Jake."
Jake grinned evily and with an air of having just won a great prize.
"The shrieking shack, 9:00."
"I'll be there." Harry returned and stormed out of the library.
