Invalid Intentions

"Are you crazy?" Ginny shrieked. "I will not - ever, stay in this house!"

"It's not a house, Weasley," Draco responded impatiently. "It's a manor. Bigger than you've ever seen."

She scowled at him furiously. "I don't care if it's larger than your fat ass, I am not going to stay over night here. My parents will freak out."

"Look, the Floo Network won't be working until tomorrow. And my ass is great," Draco protested.

Ginny considered this for a moment. "Turn around," she ordered curtly.

He did so, and Ginny felt an approving smile crawl into her lips, and nodded. "Alright, I'll give you that."

"For the last time, I am not dressing in front of you!" Ginny grumbled.

"No other way," he told her, smirking. "If you occupy another room, chances are, the house-elf will find you in the morning."

"Don't look," she retorted snappishly.

"Wouldn't think of it," he crooned, burying his face in his hands. As she began undressing, he peeked through his fingers.

Oh, yes, yes, a drawling voice prompted silently in his mind...that's it, take it off, slowly...slowl..

"ACK!" Ginny shrieked, her arms waving failingly. "Someone's coming!"

"QUICK! IN THE CLOSET!" Draco yelled, a look of fear plunging over his face.

Instead of going into the closet, Ginny threw him a strange look, her arm protectively over her bare chest, and snuck under the bed, her feet vanishing under the bedspread just in time as the door opened, revealing a sullen-looking Lucius Malfoy.

"Draco." His voice was calm, as if he was restraining bitterness. "Draco, I know."

Draco's lips parted in shock. "You do? But father...how-"

"Do not speak," he said calmly, holding up a hand. "I know that you are gay."

"Who-what?" he sputtered in disbelief, looking at his father blankly. "But father...I am not..."

"What is this?" his father suddenly thundered, picking up Ginny's bra from the floor. Draco widened his eyes in horror as he saw it hanging from his father's fingers.

"Do not lie to me!" Lucius Malfoy spat with fury. "You are gay and a cross-dresser?!

"No - Father, I..." he trailed off helplessly. Lucius dropped the undergarment on the floor, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I am leaving," he announced, and with his chin upright, he exited the room, with a slam of the door.

Ginny's laughter filled the room.

"Oh shut up," Draco remarked crossly, kicking the bra underneath the bed.

I am crazy! I am crazy! Everybody! I am crazy! I am crazy!...
