Draco lay down on his bed, his hands behind his head. He smiled, it had
been a pretty productive day all in all. He had noticed Potter looking to
and fro between Ginny and himself, the expression on his face was
priceless, heck, and the memory of it had him in fits of laughter. He had
rattled Ginny, he knew he had. Now it was time to up the level of the game.
Ginny sat with Harry and the rest of the dream team in the Gryffindor common room. She barely heard a word of the conversation. Finally she got up and announced she was going to bed. After all, what was the point of her sitting there any longer? She settled herself into bed and soon drifted off into sleep.
Dream Sequence:
She stood in the middle of the great Hall completely alone. Suddenly she felt a pair of hands on her waist, a voice said
"I wondered how long it would take you to come," Ginny smiled.
"I'm here now."
"Yes, yes you are" She felt herself being turned around. She looked into the face of the person before her and frowned.
"Harry?"
"Who were you expecting Red, not me surely?" Another pair of hands grabbed her waist and spun her around. Ginny gasped.
"Draco?"
"Ssssh," He put a finger to her lips, and tilting her face upwards, kissed her softly. Ginny closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she found she was alone once more.
"Draco?" she called, only to hear his near echoing around the hall.
"Draco!"
End Dream Sequence:
Suddenly Ginny found herself being roughly shaken awake. Hermione stood over her, and placed her hands on her hips.
"Do you mind telling me why you were screaming Draco for all the world to hear?" Ginny stared at her aghast.
"What? No I couldn't have been, why would I?" She babbled quietly turning bright red in the process. Hermione said no more, but gave Ginny a Look as she left her room.
Ginny got dressed and made her way down to the common room. "There you are!" Harry exclaimed twirling her around. "I was beginning to think you were never coming down!" Ginny gave a weak laugh.
"Is, um, is Eliza down yet?" she asked Harry. Harry frowned.
"No, but we can go on without her," Ginny looked at him and her dream came flooding back. There was no way she could be around Harry right now.
"No, you go on, I'll wait for her," Harry laughed. "I'm sure she can..
"Harry I said go on, Ok?" Harry looked at Ginny questioningly and left. Ginny sank into a chair. What was going on with her?
Ginny and Eliza entered the great hall and sat opposite the dream team. Harry gave Ginny a probing look and then said in a quiet voice that only she could hear
"Gin, are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fi- " She turned her head at the wrong moment and saw Draco enter the hall. Ginny gulped and tried to hide the emotions that were stirring inside her. She could have sworn he was looking right at her. She cleared her throat. "I'm fine".
"Are you sure? It's just you seem a little-" Harry was cut off by another voice;
"What's this, trouble in paradise?" Malfoy said. Ginny gave an involuntary shiver at the sound of his voice, and went bright red, she didn't want this advertised. Harry stood up and glared at his nemesis.
"Why don't you crawl back over to the other rejects ferret boy!" he snarled.
"Oh, I don't know if I will, Potter, Hmmmm. I know, why don't we ask Ginny if that's what I should do," he replied, his eyes twinkling with malice as he flashed a grin at Ginny. He was thoroughly enjoying the exchange.
"I.uh.well," Ginny stammered as Eliza looked on wide-eyed. Draco's grin widened. He knew he had to play his cards carefully here. Ron leapt to his feet, fists clenched.
"You leave my sister out of this, understand?" He spat out, his ears turned pink, the way they normally did in situations like this.
"Oh I think 'your sister' would really like to be part of this." He turned to face Ginny with a look on his face that he knew would do nothing but make her squirm.
"Wouldn't you, Virginia?"
"Virginia? Virginia?! What the bloody hell?!" Harry choked out. Whatever Harry was expecting him to come back with, it CERTAINLY wasn't that. He was completely thrown at hearing Malfoy call his girlfriend by her full name. Draco laughed at the expression on Harry's face.
"You underestimate her, Potter," he said, and with that, turned and left the Great Hall, Ginny's eyes following his every move.
Harry sat down slowly and eyed Ginny with a look of great suspicion.
"What in the name of Merlin was that about?"
"Oh, I have no idea, you know Malfoy," she said in a voice that sounded nothing like her own, and what was the deal with the fake laugh that followed? She got up and made her way out feeling thoroughly confused. Harry simply carried on eating in silence. He didn't like what he had just witnessed.
Ginny turned towards the library and found herself walking into someone. She looked up and gasped. There was Malfoy smirking at her.
"Cat got your tongue?" Draco said, a lazy smile on his face.
"Get out of my way" Ginny replied, with not half as much conviction as she would have liked. Draco simply laughed. He bent down, brushed her hair behind her ear, and whispered,
"Make me."
Ginny jumped at his touch. She took a deep breath and looked up at him.
"Fine."
She placed her hands on his chest and tried to push him, but he was too strong for her. Draco simply smirked.
"Not having much luck, are you?"
Ginny felt herself getting more and more frustrated. She glared at him, and managed to throw herself at him finally knocking him out of the way, The only problem was she too went flying, which resulted in landing right on top of him.
"Bloody hell you are a feisty one!" he laughed as he locked his arms around her.
"Let go of me Draco," she said, her voice dangerously low and menacing. Draco simply raised an eyebrow, then dragged himself and Ginny up, not letting go once, He looked right into her eyes.
"You sure you want me to do that, Weasley?"
Ginny felt her defences slipping away.
"Yes" she managed to whisper.
Draco smiled. He traced his finger along the outline of her face then tilted her face up to his, Ginny shivered. She didn't notice her arms tighten around him.
"Really sure?" he asked, his lips centimetres from hers, then, without warning, he kissed her. Ginny jumped, then found herself kissing back, her hands becoming even more entwined in his hair as she pulled him closer. She knew she was wrong, but at that moment she didn't care. She had wanted this for so long - a part of her wished it would never stop. Even better, it seemed Draco wasn't to keen on stopping either. His hands roamed her back then stroked her hair. Finally the kiss ended. Ginny looked up at him wordlessly. Suddenly, it felt like a bucket if ice-cold water had been thrown over her. She had just cheated on Harry. She had just cheated on Harry with his worst enemy. She had two-timed. She backed away from Draco, her eyes wide.
"I've got to.umm, I have to." then not bothering to finish her sentence she turned and ran.
Draco smiled and walked on. It was the first time he had gotten that reaction from a girl, but it would do for now.
A figure emerged from the shadows and stared in disbelief at what she had just witnessed. Hermione shook her head. She was going to have to have serious words with Ginny.
