Chapter 5: Who Was That Masked Man?
~~~~~
Halloween morning was beautiful, the sky was a light gray, the promise of rain was sweet. Ginny got up happier than she had been in weeks. She was the first one to wake up out of everyone in her dorm, and therefore she raced to the showers so she could get the good stall.
Breakfast smelled wonderful, as the odor carried up to the 2nd floor. She jogged down the steps with her friends, and showed her clumsy streak by falling down the stairs. She tumbled to the bottom, her bum skinned by the stone steps, on to someone's feet. She pushed her skirt over her legs so as not to give anyone an early Christmas present.
Ginny heard a familiar laugh from above her and a hand reaching out to help her up. She looked at the owner of the hand, "Michael," she whispered. "Thank you," she said letting herself be lifted to her feet, ending up being very close to him, she took a step back and blushed.
"I had forgotten how clumsy you were." Michael said, while grinning. "Its cute." Then he walked away, and Ginny couldn't help but stare as he ran his finger through his dark, chocolate brown hair.
"Snap out of it, Ginny, he is your EX-boyfriend," Kiki said.
"I know," Ginny said defensively, but then her tone softened, "but he called me cute." Ginny blushed again.
Kyan rolled his eyes, "Well, you don't look too appealing to me, drooling like that." Ginny pushed him and walked through the doors to the Great Hall. It was already decorated with the usual pumpkins and live bats, when Ginny saw them she began to giggle.
"Remember last year, when that bat attacked Ron?" Ginny asked Colin.
"Yeah! I still have the pictures!" Colin laughed loudly with Dawn and Kyan. Kiki just smiled politely.
"You do? Can I have a copy of that?" A voice came from behind Ginny, she turned around and Harry was smiling at them.
"Sure," Colin said, trying hard to keep his laughter from taking over his face again. "I can go get--"
"No, no, have your breakfast, just get me one when you can." Harry placed a hand on Ginny's back and began to walk, "See you later." He turned around and headed off while Ginny watched his retreating figure. Suddenly Ginny felt a hand turning her face back to Kyan.
"Hey! You're going to put another mark on my face!" Ginny pushed his hand off and Dawn laughed.
"Will you just stop oggling at a different guy every five minutes?" Kyan steered her to the table for toast and eggs.
"No," Ginny said quietly, with a grin on her face.
~~~~
Ginny walked into the Great Hall at 8:10pm, sure she was ten minutes late, but she couldn't find her shoe. Ginny and her friends decided to make their own dresses for the night as well as masks. For her dress, it was cut off about an inch above the knees and was sleeveless, but over her shoulders she had a dark red shawl that matched her dress and bird themed mask.
The Great Hall looked just as it did that morning but, like she thought, it was raining, and it was dark. Thanks to the pumpkins, there was a milky orange type glow on everything. Ginny walked through the crowds and made it to the table where her friends said they would meet her.
"Sorry, guys," she said after she made sure that it was Kiki's yellow mask next to Kyan's navy blue one. "I couldn't find my shoe." Ginny held out her foot as if to get Kiki's confirmation that it was indeed the matching shoe. Kiki gave a look of agreement which was Ginny's cue to sit down.
"What are we doing tonight?" Kyan asked. Ginny looked around, if she hadn't seen their costumes she wouldn't have guessed who they were. All you could see is their lips and chins. Everyone's mask was to cover their foreheads to their nose. Ginny connected hers to a hat so she could hide her hair.
"I don't know, mingle?" Ginny heard Dawn's voice said from behind the cat- themed mask she was wearing.
"Sounds good to me," Kiki said, jumping up and following a boy. Dawn followed suit but it ended up only to be following them to the food. Colin winked at Kyan and left with a bag under his arm. Ginny smiled. 'Go get her, Tiger!' Ginny thought wildly.
"Well, I don't know what I am going to do." Kyan said, "But I'll find something." He jumped up as a guy walked by. Ginny rolled her eyes.
Ginny sat for a while, watching the glow of the pumpkins upon the different masks as people walked up to each other, and danced, and talked. The music washing over them, as they gained new best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, or even enemies. She began to wonder if the couple 5 feet from her was a Hufflepuff and Slytherin. She giggled to herself, 'If only they knew...'
"Why is such a pretty mask like yours sitting all alone?" Ginny looked up at the deep male voice.
"Excuse me?" Ginny said with a smile on her lips, looking up at the forest green mask.
"In other words," He said, with a smile on his own. "Would you like to dance?" He held out his hand and Ginny took it.
"I'd love to." She allowed herself to be led out to the dance floor, where they squeezed in between couples until they found enough room to dance.
"You know, Ginny Weasley, I have always wanted to do this with you," the Mysterious boy said.
"How do you know its me?" Ginny asked, wondering if she had a nametag branded on her chin or something.
The boy smiled and raised his hand to her neck and twisted a strand of bright red hair around his finger, "I guess you can said that I caught you red handed."
Ginny smiled, "So I missed one strand and it gave me away?"
The mystery boy smiled and said, "I also heard you talking to your friends and I recognized your voice."
Ginny frowned slightly, "I don't recognize yours." He grinned dancing a little closer to her, one of his arms around her waist, the other holding her hand in his. Ginny tried to look through his mask to his eyes but it was too dark, and she couldn't see.
"You know, Ginny," He said, and she could tell it sounded familiar but she just couldn't put a finger on it, "I've had a crush on you for a while." He smiled broadly.
"Really?" Ginny asked, feeling extremely confidant at the moment. "Well, I would like to tell you how I feel about you," she said as she let the hand that resting on his shoulder to creep up the side of his neck. "But, seeing as I don't know who you really are." She rubbed the side of his cheek with her palm and reached for the mask.
His hand shot up and grabbed a hold of her wrist gently but firmly, "No, no, you can't do that." He placed her hand back on his shoulder. "I like my little game at the moment." She could tell he was disguising his voice.
Ginny put on a pout and looked the other way. "Cheer up Ginny," his voice whispered in her ear, "I promise that, even though I don't know if you liked me or not, that after you get to know my witty and charming side that you will like me very much."
Ginny smiled and looked back at him, "What makes you so sure that you are witty and charming?"
He grinned and just said, "I have full confidence in myself." Ginny pressed her lips together. "I know you want to see who I am," she nodded, "but this game will be fun."
"Oh sure, fun, when I don't even get to see who you are?" Ginny backed away a little but he pulled her back into his embrace. "You will, if I want you to."
Ginny and the masked companion talked and danced for most of the night, he was indeed witty and charming, yet he seemed more nervous as the night was near ending. "I have to meet my friends soon," Ginny told him. "Can I see who you are?"
He bit his bottom lip, as he leaned closer to Ginny. She didn't know why, but she just felt so confidant around him, like she could do anything and not feel stupid or embarrassed. He touched her face softly with his hand and moved it to face him, she still couldn't see his eyes but she felt him looking at her lips, so she looked at his. They were not smiling, but was slightly trembling, his breath played on her lips. She opened her mouth and leaned toward him.
His touch was starting to make her a little dizzy, she smiled slightly as if drunk off this no-named stranger's fingers playing with her skin, her feelings, and her emotions.
"Ginny," he said lightly on her face. He kissed her cheek and Ginny felt his mouth float across her face to where her lips rested and he kissed them, softly letting the feeling pass through the both of them. Ginny became immediately stiff but softened when she felt a warm, wet object ask her lips for entry.
Ginny let her lips part to let his this masked person's tongue enter her mouth, the velvet warmth past through her body and her head felt light again, as though all thoughts left the world, and the only thing that mattered was her and this boy, this man. She lifted her hand to his neck and pulled him in further. He began to smile which caused a problem and he let go of their embrace.
"Thank you, Ginny Weasley." He said and backed away.
"Wait!" Ginny yelled to him, trying to follow him, "I still don't know who you are!" She tried to push though the crowds but she lost him. She sighed and returned to the table.
Ginny was a little upset when the rest returned, all looking extremely happy. 'They have no right,' she told herself, 'they have not right at all to be happy when the love of my life left and I don't even know who he is.'
"Ginny, what's wrong?" Colin asked. Ginny noticed that he was back in his first costume, she could also see a lip print on his neck and that the bottom part of his face looked flustered, as though he just washed something off of it.
She told them about the guy she meet but didn't get to know his name or anything.
Kyan laughed, "Well, 'Who was that Masked Man?' right, Gin?" Ginny frowned but everyone else laughed. "Oh come on, Gin! Lets go back to the common room." They all agreed.
When walking up the stairs, Dawn talking to her about her masked man, and how he was so sweet and kind. Ginny then turned to Colin who was smiling in a goofy manner and blushing. Ginny nudged him and grinned.
~~~
Ginny found it hard to sleep that night, her thoughts still on the man who kissed her; his soft hands, his sweet words, his taste of chocolate, they all haunted her dreams.
At about 1:24am Ginny got up out of bed, snuck down the girls stairs and up the boy's she entered the 7th year boy's dorm like she always did when she couldn't sleep and made her way to Kyan's bed.
She pulled back the curtain and climbed in next to him, he jerked awake, "Gin," he rubbed his eyes and gave a sigh of relief when he realized it wasn't a death threat. "Are you ok?"
"Can't sleep." She said solemnly. Kyan pulled back the covers and motioned for her to climb in. She did and wrapped her arms around him, "I just keep thinking about him."
Kyan nodded, "Just sleep." He patted her softly until both of them were asleep.

A/N: I think it is a very special thing if there is enough trust that they'll sleep with each other, and I think that Ginny and Kyan have that kind of relationship, cute huh?
Anyway, I just thought to bringing in this Masked Man ((I know, the chapter title is really corny, but if you ever heard of the melodrama you would understand its corniness to the extreme!
