Draco smiled as Ginny's jaw dropped at the idea.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked, a grin crawling across her light golden skin.
"I am not." Draco replied. His seductive grin was expressed and his eyes glinted with excitement. "I messed up our first dance together, I messed it up completely. But now I want it back, so since I can't redo it, I will just fund another dance. I talked to Dumbledore and he agreed that it would be okay if we had a second dance this year."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Ginny laughed.
"I kid you not, love. Go to the dance with me, again?" Draco asked as he saw Ginny's lips separate a little.
She nodded in reply and Draco took her in his arms and hugged her tightly. Then, for no reason Ginny could think of, Draco smiled. Not his regular 'I'm happy guess I could smile' smile. But the smile that he smiled when he wasn't just happy, but when he was relaxed and everything was going right. Ginny had seen this smile once before.
She had seen it when someone said her name. Draco smiled like that then. He smiled like that now. Not a smile that was fake just for the sake of it. But a smile that said he was joyous and more than happy, but there were no words for it.
"Ginny," He said. "I." He paused. A strand of Ginny's hair had fallen in her face. He pushed it, slowly back behind her ear, gently caressing her cheek as he did. He pulled her close and pressed his nose in her hair and breathed in all the smells he could. The sweet scent of roses and the lingering scent of the grass and the fresh clean air outside. The camellias he had gotten her that sat on her bedside table, and the smell of papaya from her lotion.
"Ginny," He began again. "You smell like heaven. You taste like heaven and you look like an angel." Draco whispered into her hair. "I swear I dream of you every night. You are my religion. You remind me of all the things good in the world. With parents like mine, you are a heroine to me. You rescue me from all of their influences. I owe you my sanity though thinking of you all those years and not having you drove me near crazy. I love your eyes, your eyelids, your hair, and your back. I love that little thing you do when you're reading a good book and you start snapping. I love when you hum after you've just gotten out of class."
"I have my own stalker." Ginny teased.
"I love that you know how to make me smile like nothing could make me cry." He said pulling back so he could look into her eyes. Her eyes were like a whole other world to him. He could see all of what she was feeling when he gazed into her eyes. "I love that you make me want to be a better man than I am." He finished.
"Draco," Ginny said. "You are the perfect man. You know when you love. You know who, you know how, and you know just when to make me want to cry in happiness like I do you. Draco, you may not know it but you have the same effect on me. I go to my room every day after seeing you and feel like a want to scream and dance. I want to be with you forever. I love you." She whispered at the end and looked up at his tall figure, gazed into his eyes, and for that time, they didn't need to kiss to show their love for one another. It could be seen passing through their gaze.
Inside them, a burning feeling came up through their legs and scorched their hearts as they felt themselves come alive with love. There was a feeling inside they could never explain to anyone because there are no words to tell, to describe it. It was a feeling that could only be expressed by thinking of something you love and mix it in with excitement and happiness.
Alexis was stunned by Harry's proposal. He stood and placed his hand behind her head. Another went to her back and they embraced slowly and he dipped her into a sweet and sensual kiss. As his lips went to hers Alexis was screaming inside, He loves me! He really loves me! As they stood back up, their gaze into each other's eyes was not broken.
"If that doesn't prove I love you more than anything, I don't know what to do. Lexi, you drive me wild. You make me want to jump into the fountain to keep my head from spinning. You are everything to me. You make me forget I have not parents, you make me fall into a dreamt hat I never want to wake up from." Harry turned to the rest of the students and teachers in the Great Hall and called out, "I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I LOVE ALEXIS JENKINS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WOLRD!!!!!!!!!!!"
Alexis blushed like she never had before. Her cheeks, her face, her hands, her legs, her arms, neck and back, her whole body blushed.
"Look at that," Came Ginny's voice as she and Draco returned from the Astronomy tower. "Lexi's turned three shades of red and two shades of purple in a record three point five seconds!!"
Everyone laughed and Alexis hugged Harry tightly, crying on his shoulder.
"What's wrong babe? Did I embarrass you?" He asked pulling her away to look at her.
"NO!" She yelled. And then smiled. "You just made me the happiest person alive!"
(AN: okay, we needed the mush.)
Ginny walked down the steps to the Great Hall that afternoon happy even though she had to do her potions homework.
"Gins!" Came the voice of Alexis echoing through the room. As Alexis came running up a confused look came across Ginny's face.
"What is it?" She asked looking at Alexis.
"I love your boyfriend. This way it gives Harry a chance to go to the dance with me and maybe this time he won't botch it." Alexis giggled as she and Ginny walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down. "I swear it's like the boy needs A Guide to Impressing Alexis."
"It would be helpful." Came Harry's voice behind them. He sat down next to Alexis and gave a quick peck on the neck.
"Dude, no macking at the table." Ron said with his arm around Astella's waist.
"What about physical intercourse?" Harry asked in return pointing to Ron's arm.
"As long as it's not anything nasty."
"Like picking the other's boogers?" Ginny asked.
"Or,"
"Alexis, I beg to Merlin you don't finish that sentence." Ron said holding up his hand. The group laughed.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked, a grin crawling across her light golden skin.
"I am not." Draco replied. His seductive grin was expressed and his eyes glinted with excitement. "I messed up our first dance together, I messed it up completely. But now I want it back, so since I can't redo it, I will just fund another dance. I talked to Dumbledore and he agreed that it would be okay if we had a second dance this year."
