Chapter 3 – Pay Back

After visiting her father, and finally finding her brother on the Department of Wizards Literature snogging with Hermione, Ginny went to Diagon Alley to buy the ingredients for dinner. When she finally got home, it was past lunchtime and she was starving.

"Guys, I'm home!" Ginny called, like she always did.

"No need to be so happy about it!" a voice said from the couch.

"Ok... Let me say it again: Anyone who cares, I'm home! So that's better?" she replied, smiling.

"Has you wish..." Draco said, not bothering to look at her.

"So, you're staying here all day? Why? Are you afraid to lose your fan club?" she joked with him. "Malfoy, we all have pimples when we are teenagers... You are no exception!"

"Weasley, do I look like a teenager to you?" he asked, furious, as he got up, and placed himself in front of her. He was only wearing a pair of breeches, and his chest was naked, showing his beautiful muscled torso... He certainly wasn't a teenager, Ginny thought, tightening her grip on the shopping bag, against her chest...

"Well, I have seen kids who look much better than that!" she lied, still looking at his whole body.

"I bet you're lying..." he said, coming closer to her, with his face inches from hers.

"You will never know, will you?" she smiled softly, as she looked deep in his blue eyes.

"No, I guess not..."

Just as he was about to touch her lips, and Ginny was closing her eyes, getting ready, he took an apple from her shopping bag, that was between them and stepped back, eating it.

"Damn!" Ginny mumbled, getting all blushed.

While Draco laughed at her face, Ginny went into the kitchen and put the food items on their places.

'How could I fall in that trick? You shouldn't have behaved like that, just because of a kiss!' she kept saying to herself, interiorly. 'Well, this means war... And I'm having pay back time...'

Ginny went to her room, took off her clothes, and put on a pair of blue mini-shorts, and a white top that showed her curves. She caught up her red hair (the hex lost it's effect), leaving only a few strands hugging her nape and breathed deeply.

Draco was sitting in the living room, studying some papers, when he felt Ginny walk in the room, and starting to clean the garbage from the floor, and the used cups from the coffee table. When he looked at her, his eyes almost feel to the floor. Ginny was wearing very revealing clothes, and she was moving her body in ways that made him go crazy.

"Weasley, do you have to do that now? I'm trying to concentrate!" he said, looking at her from head to toes.

"Sorry! Am I distracting you? I thought Aurors didn't lost focus on their work!" she said innocently, while she cleaned her hands against her legs, noticing his gaze follow her movements.

"We don't... but we always respond to a dangerous situation! And you're definitively a danger..." he said, looking at her neck curve, watching the little strands of hair hugging it.

"Well, what do you do when you find a dangerous situation?" she asked with sensual voice, stepping closer to him.

"We attract the danger to us..." he said, watching has she placed her arms on each side of his face, supporting her body, with her hands, on the back of the couch.

"And then what?" she asked, bringing her face closer to his.

"We attack the danger!" he replied, moving his face to hers, to kiss her.

Just when they were about to kiss, Ginny backed away, with a blanket on her hands.

"This blanket shouldn't be in the couch's back! We're in the middle of a very HOT summer!" Ginny said, trying hard not to laugh at Draco's disappointed face. "Hey, Malfoy, it's getting hot in here, isn't it? You better go take a cold shower!"

Draco watched as she winked at him, and went into the kitchen.

"That girl is driving me to the edge... And I'm liking it!" he mumbled to himself.

Ginny spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She put the homemade Lasagne on the stove and went to the bathroom. She was sweaty from cooking all afternoon, and she wanted to look nice for dinner.

She put a red dress on, and caught her hair on a loose bun. Ginny was entering the kitchen when she saw Draco leaning into the stove, watching her Lasagne. Approaching silently, Ginny ran her hand over his cute butt, and leaned over his shoulder.

"Well, well... Aren't we hungry?" she said with a seductive voice.

"I was trying to sense the smell of poison! I really worry about Julie and Mark, you know?" Draco said, turning around to face her. "You look beautiful!"

"I will conclude that you didn't meant to say that!" Ginny smiled, feeling happy for his compliment.

"Maybe I did!" he smirked, coming even closer to her.

This time Ginny wasn't going to run from the kiss and she certainly hoped Draco wouldn't back away, either.

When finally his lips touched hers, Ginny moaned deeply and laced her arms behind his neck, while Draco held her the closest he could. Their lips moved softly, in a slow but sensual dance... Just when they were about to deepen the kiss, they heard a door slamming shut and happy voices.

"Philip? Ginny? We're home!" Julie's voice came to them.

"Damn it..." Draco whispered, breaking the kiss, but keeping his forehead in touch with Ginny's. Slowly, she removed her hands from his soft hair and took a step back.

"Hi, people! So, how was your day?" Mark asked happily, entering the kitchen and noticing their blushed faces.

"I didn't go to work! I had a pimples crisis!" Draco replied, looking at Ginny with an angry face.

"I went to the Ministry... I saw my father, brother and a dear friend that I haven't seen for years: Harry Potter!" on that moment, Ginny saw Draco's face become worried. "Then, I went shopping for dinner and came home! What about you?"

"Oh, same as usual: Auror work..." Mark replied. "But Julie was telling me about a student she has in her Muggle Studies class... Guys, are you ok? You both look a little strange!"

"Mark, sometimes Aurors see danger or strangeness where it doesn't exist!" Ginny replied, checking on the Lasagne. "If you want to take a shower, you have 10 minutes until dinner is served!"

"I will, thank you! Oh, and Draco, blond man look good in red clothes... Only blond women look good in red lipstick! You should clean your mouth!" Mark said, leaving the kitchen laughing like a maniac.

Draco looked at Ginny with terror in his blue eyes.

"Why did you put red lipstick on?" he asked angry.

"Why did you kiss me if I had red lipstick on?" she replied, placing her hands on her narrow hips.

"Why would I want to kiss you? You were the one that kissed me!" he said, almost yelling.

"Now, Draco, didn't your mother teach you not to lie?" Ginny asked, angry at his behaviour. "You know very well, that you were the one to lean for the kiss! Yes, I kissed you back, but you still started it all!"

"Damn Weasel... Destroying my good image!" he mumbled under his breath.

"That's right, Malfoy! Keep convincing yourself that you have a good image!" Ginny almost laughed, as she left the kitchen to prepare the dinning table.

Ten minutes later they were all sitting at the dinning table, talking about Julie's crazy students. Ginny, as the host, served everyone's plates, and then they started eating.

"Ginny! This is fantastic! Wow! Where did you learn this recipe?" Julie asked, eating with pleasure.

"With my Mom... She's a great cooker!" Ginny smiled, happy with her friend reaction.

"That's obvious! The woman had to cook to 9 people, every single day, with low portions of food!" Draco replied maliciously, while he forked his food.

"Draco, stop being a prat! Why aren't you eating? It's great!" Mark asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"He's afraid that I've jinxed the food, aren't you Malfoy?" Ginny laughed at his bored face. "Well, the three of us are eating and nothing happened!"

He must have agreed because he took a bite, then another one, and soon his plate was clean.

"So, you did like it?" Julie asked, smiling at him.

"I've eaten better!" he lied. It was superb! Right then he started feeling weird.

"Draco, are you ok? You look weird!" Ginny asked, smiling.

"I'm fine!" he lied. Right then he felt the pain increase.

On the next moment he started crying non-stop, making Mark and Julie become worried about him.

"Draco, are you ok?" Mark asked, patting his friend's shoulder. "The dinner wasn't spicy!"

"I know... I just can't stop crying!" Draco said, between sobs. "Weasel must have put something in my food! You damn girl! You'll pay for this!"

"Ginny? Did you do this to him?" Julie asked, nervously, looking at Ginny.

"Yes!" she said simply, smiling at Julie, and then eyeing Draco's angry face full of tears.

"WHY?" Julie almost yelled. "Ginny you are a grown up woman and you are a Healer! You should behave like a responsible adult and not like a five year old kid!"

"Julie, if he did to you what he did to me, you would think I was right in doing that!" Ginny stated simply.

"What did he do to you?" Mark asked, confused.

"I've done nothing! This Mudblood Lover is lying!" Draco yelled, trying to clean the river of tears, from his face, with the tablecloth.

"He kissed me against my will! Mark saw my lipstick on Draco, didn't you?" Ginny lied, trying hard not to laugh at Draco's shocked wide-open eyes.

"I did not!" he yelled, standing up, still holding the tablecloth, causing the dishes and glasses to crash on the floor.

"Draco, I did see the lipstick on you, and you have been behaving weird around Ginny!" Mark said, waving his wand to clean up the mess.

"YES, we did kiss... But, NO, I didn't kiss her against her will! She kissed me back!" Draco said, not bothering to dry the tears. They weren't going to stop...

"Well... Ginny, you've had your revenge... Please, lift the spell from him, and let's enjoy the evening, ok? Gosh, I feel like a mother in this lunatics house!" Julie said, hugging Mark, with a smile.

Ginny did lift the spell from Draco, and cleaned the kitchen with Julie's help. Then, they went to the living room, to watch a movie.

Mark and Julie were wrapped up in each other on a corner of the big couch, while Draco was on the other corner. Ginny fetched the blanket she had put away earlier that day, and sat between the couple and Draco, wrapping the four of them under it.

The movie was plain dumb and by the end of it, Ginny had fallen asleep against Draco, with her head on his shoulder. He did no attempt to avoid her touch... Draco just sat there, watching her beautiful face while she slept, and feeling her sweet scent to vanilla.

Yes, he was still mad at her pranks, but he also loved to have her close to him, like this...

'I can only see to options! One: I'm becoming sexually frustrated... Two: I'm falling for a Weasley... I hope it's the first option! I need to see Pansy!' Draco thought as he placed an arm on Ginny's waist, bringing her even closer to him.

"Draco, we're going to bed... Do you want me to wake her up?" Mark asked, pointing to Ginny.

"No... I'll take her to her bed! Good night!" he said, placing his other arm under her knees and rising with her cradled like a baby in his arms.

Just when he was about to lay her inside her covers, Ginny opened her eyes and grabbing behind his neck, pushed him down, so they were face to face.

"Please, don't go..." she asked, with a sleepy voice.

"Ginny, I have to go to bed..." he said with a gentle voice, while he kissed her forehead.

"Please... I just want company! I'm not trying anything sexual and I'm not going to hex you! I promise!" she asked, smiling sweetly.

"Fine... But you better change that dress of your to sleep! I'll go to my room to change as well!" he said, leaving the room. As soon as he closed her bedroom door, Draco leaned against the wall.

'Why did I agree? I won't be able to sleep all night, with her body so next to mine!' he thought. 'Well, at least I'll be able to be with her, without her hexing me! That girl is a sea of evilness...'

Smiling to himself, he went to his bedroom and changed into his pyjama bottoms. The nights were to hot to sleep fully dressed.

When he got back to her room, Ginny was just sliding into her small baby blue straps top, but she was already wearing the matching shorts. She was so beautiful, that he couldn't take his eyes from her figure.

"If she wasn't such a pain in the ass with her pranks and jokes..." he said to himself, sighing loudly.

"Hey! I didn't ear you come back! Let's sleep!" Ginny smiled, going inside the covers.

Draco lay by her side, and smiled when she rested her head on his chest. Soon she was already sleeping and her deep breaths tickled his chest. Slowly, Draco fell asleep while he stroked her beautiful red hair.
