***
Three days later at breakfast Ginny was enjoying her oatmeal when the screeching of owls announced the arrival of the morning's post. She continued eating her oatmeal, she wasn't expected any mail. In fact she rarely expected mail because she just didn't get any. The last time she had gotten post was at Christmas time, when she had received a Christmas card from Bill. Ginny picked up a piece of toast, but dropped it suddenly. A pitch black falcon was nibbling at her scrabbled eggs; a small piece of parchment was tired to its leg with a bit of green ribbon. 'Mail' she thought 'Someone sent me mail' she looked down at the parchment with complete amazement before removing the letter from the birds leg. She slipped the piece of ribbon into her pocket and unrolled the letter. She looked down at the small green script, which she clearly identified as Draco's writing and began reading.
Ginny,
Meet me outside the Great Hall tonight at 12:00 midnight, for I really want to talk with you.
-With Love..
"Hermione!" Ginny gasped and quickly folded the note and stuffed it in her pocket, before Hermione had been able to discover who it was from. "How dare you read my letters!" Ginny was angry "You didn't read it did you because if you did."
"No, I didn't read any of it" Hermione lied "I was just surprised to see you had received a letter. So who's it from?" Hermione tried to ask casually. She hoped she might be able to find out who this mysterious person was.
"Erm no one" Ginny answered
"It can't have been from no one? Come on who's it from?" Hermione asked inquisitively.
"Well, erm, it's from my pen pal Lorie who, erm lives in Scotland, she was asking about my plans for the summer." Ginny invented. Hermione gave her a puzzled look; she knew Ginny wasn't telling the truth but it was obvious she wasn't going to tell who it really was from. Hermione thought to herself 'Now I'm just going to have to find out the hard way'.
~~~
Ginny was suspicious, Hermione knew something. Ginny hoped she wasn't lying when she said she didn't read the note. Ginny nibbled at her toast, 'I'm going to have to take extra precautions when leaving to meet Draco tonight.' she thought to herself. She finished her toast, picked up her bag and walked out of the Great Hall.
The day passed slowly for Ginny, but finally it was at an end. She sat down on a chair by the fire in the Gryffindor common room and turned her attention to the game of wizard's chess Ron and Harry were playing. "You're trapped, there no way out, I've won!" Ron told Harry, happily.
"Not true! I'll just move my knight here and..." Harry answered.
"Nooo!" Ron screamed, "Don't do that!"
"And why not?" Harry questioned, laughing.
"Because you'll win." Ron said
"Exactly." said Harry, "That's the idea."
Ginny laughed quietly to herself. 'Ron and Harry are always arguing over wizards chess.' she thought. She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out the note from Draco. 'It says 12:00 midnight.' she reminded herself. She turned and looked up at the old oak clock on the wall it read 11:03. Ginny glanced around the common room it was still quite crowed but she knew it would empty soon. She decided it would be best for her to head up to her room and pretend to sleep.
Ginny's watch beeped at 11:45. Ginny rolled over in her bed, 'What a clever and slightly annoying muggle invention.' Ginny thought to herself. She quickly got out of bed and opened up her trunk. She slipped her bright red sweater over her nightdress and grabbed her lantern from under her bed. Silently she crept across the room and out through the door. She tip-toed down the stairs and across the now empty common room. She swung open the portrait of the Fat Lady and quickly looked back to see no one was following her. She didn't see anyone so she turned and walked out of the room. What Ginny didn't see was Hermione standing at the top of the stairs, her jacket on and her flashlight in her hand.
~~~
Draco paced nervously, he hadn't even checked at breakfast if she had gotten his message or not. 'The longer I stay here the more likely I am to get caught.' he thought, 'but I haven't been waiting that long, besides it can't be past 12:00.' His thoughts were interrupted by the light of a lantern coming towards him. Draco held his breath, 'Please be Ginny and not Filtch.' he hoped. As the light came closer he could see that the person holding the lantern was Ginny. He let out a sigh of relief. He walked towards her, into the light. Ginny greeted him with a smile. "Follow me." he whispered. He led Ginny through a set of green oak doors out into the night. Outside the moon was clearly visible, and the stars speckled the night's sky. Draco took Ginny by the hand and led her to a nearby bench. They both took a seat, and Ginny blew out the light in her lantern, the only light now was the stars and the moon.
"Ginny, I'm so glad you came." he said. "I haven't been able to talk to you in a while. So how are things?"
"I have something to tell you." she said
"Ok." He answered.
"It's Hermione I think she knows."
"Knows what?" Draco questioned
"Knows about us, I caught her reading your note."
"Oh." Draco looked surprised, "Well I'm sure it will all work out ok."
"Let's hope so, because I don't want to lose Hermione as a friend." Ginny said.
"Hmm," Draco said thinking.
"What are you thinking about?" Ginny asked.
"Well I was just thinking how long we're going to wait to tell everyone, I mean we can't keep our love a secret for to long."
"Yeah I guess your right." Ginny said. There was silence. Draco moved towards her and lightly placed a kiss on her lips. Ginny was surprised, she shivered, haunted by the memories of Percy. Draco didn't stop there; he leaned forward, deepening the kiss. It was too much for her. She pulled away from his touch. She looked away from him, she was embarrassed. "I'm sorry" she said "it's just." her voice faded off.
"No it's not your fault." He said blushing, "I should have known, it was wrong of me to do what I did." He paused, then continued "It's just I couldn't help myself, my feelings for you are so strong, Ginny I want you so badly but." There was silence no one spoke.
~~~
Ginny's mind was racing, she was stuck. She wanted to Kiss Draco, touch him, but the memories of Percy filed her head. Memories she wished to forget, but she couldn't. She turned back to look at Draco, he was just an outline in the dark. Her heart raced, she loved him, she wanted his touch. No, she needed his touch. She wanted to feel his arms around her, his lips resting on hers. Her memories and thoughts of Percy burned strong within her, she felt fear, but she didn't know why, 'This isn't Percy, it's Draco.' she thought to herself. Her head was spinning, she didn't know what to do. She wanted Draco, but she was scared. 'I'm scared of the past,' she thought to herself, 'but the past doesn't matter, the past will never happen again.' With this thought in her mind she let her emotions take control, she leaned over and gently kissed Draco on the lips.
~~~
Draco was taken aback, he was not quite sure what to do, or rather what Ginny wanted. Ginny put her arms around Draco and deepened the kiss. Draco understood then. He ran his fingers through her hair, and pulling her closer to him. Draco was enjoying himself; his heart was no longer paining him, instead it was racing in his excitement. Draco ran his hands wildly over her body accustoming himself with the many delights of her gentle frame. When he felt a teardrop fall on his cheek. He pulled away. Ginny was crying. "I'm so sorry." she apologized, tears falling from her eyes, "It's not your fault, I just can't forget."
"I know, it's alright, I understand, and I believe you should take some time to think things through, and sort out the confusion in your head. That's why I think it's best if I leave you to think things over." With that Draco kissed Ginny on the cheek, stood up and walked off into the shadows of the night.
~~~
Ginny sat of the bench thinking, trying to sort out the many things on her mind. Suddenly she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her; she turned around to see Hermione. She gasped, "Hermione!" she cried. There was silence as the two stared each other in horror. "Y-you lied to me."
"I was curious, I'm your friend, and you shouldn't have to hide anything from me." Hermione answered, "You can't possibly love him can you? After all the mean stuff he's said and done to you." There was more silence between them.
"What if I do love him! What's it to you? It's none of your business anyways!"
"It is my business Ginny, because I'm your friend." Hermione said. Ginny didn't have anything else to say. She picked up her lantern and walked away.
