Chapter 5 – Are you ready?
During next week, every single pregnant woman in the wizard world seemed to be having their babies, and Ginny was tired of so many baby deliveries and of so many sick kids. She hadn't seen Draco since the night of her date with Harry, and she missed his smile, his mocking words, his presence and his kisses...
"Damn, Ginny, you shouldn't think so much about the Bouncing Ferret!" she whispered to her self, feeling her cheeks turn hot.
After working for 36 hours, non-stop, Ginny used her remaining energy to Apparate back at home.
"Good afternoon, Ginny! How are you? You look exhausted!" Julie asked, worried, while Ginny sat next to her on the couch. "You are so pale and your eyes are bloodshot!"
"I guess I really look astonishing!" Ginny laughed softly. "This has been the week from hell! I'm dying for a good bath and a soft bed..."
"I'm sure you are! Our boys are working late as well!" Julie smiled, although she looked worried.
"Our boys?" Ginny asked, blushing.
"Don't try to make a fool of me, Ginny!" Julie laughed, amused.
"Did they catch Lucius? I never got the chance to ask..." she asked, anxious.
"No... They keep receiving false leads... They are working late today because they have received a new lead! This one points to Lucius and Narcissa travelling with a baby girl, about 2 years old..." Julie said, worried. "If I do have a niece, I don't want her to be raised by those two Death-Eaters... I want her to be a pure girl! Like you..."
"Thank you, Julie! I hope they catch Lucius this time... And, have you told Mark?" Ginny asked, with a big smile.
"Not yet... I was hoping to do it tonight, but I'll have to leave it for tomorrow! He'll arrive too tired for this kind of news..." Julie said, caressing her belly.
Ginny took her bath and fell asleep on her bed, almost immediately. She only woke up the next morning, near lunchtime.
"Good morning!" she said, entering the kitchen, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Is there any coffee?"
"Yes... I'll get you a cup!" Julie said, leaving her seat on the table next to Draco.
"Did you get any luck last night?" Ginny asked him, sitting in front of him.
"No... False alarm!" he said, watching her attentively. She looked so gorgeous when she was sleepy. "Are you rested after this week of intense work?"
"A little better, yes... Who would say! Draco Malfoy worried about someone else's feelings!" she smirked, and winked at him.
"Who said I was worried? I just wanted to know if you felt miserable, so I could throw a party!" he said, with a convincing serious face.
"Oh, will you two stop bickering?" Julie asked, handing Ginny her cup of coffee.
"Why should we? It's fun!" Draco said, smiling widely.
"Well, I have to go... Mark and his family are waiting for me to lunch... Will you two be ok, alone?" Julie asked, winking at Ginny.
"Yes, I believe we will! We promise to destroy each other, but we won't destroy the whole house..." Draco laughed, at Julie's serious face.
"Well, we'll only destroy the kitchen, Julie! Today Draco will have his first cooking lesson!" Ginny said, laughing as Draco's face turned from amused to worried and upset.
"What is it, Philip? Are you afraid of a simple lesson?" Julie said, sarcastically. "Or are you afraid of being eaten by the teacher?"
"Uh, I wouldn't mind the last part!" he said, watching Ginny's blushed face.
"Well, I'm sure the two of you will have a lot of fun!" Julie said, leaving her seat.
"Julie, we'll make dinner... So, you and Mark must come home for it, ok?" Ginny asked her, with a mysterious sparkle in her warm brown eyes.
"I don't know what you're up to, but we'll be here!" Julie said, before she Disapparated.
"Are you ready to put on the apron?" Ginny smiled, as she looked at Draco's bored face. "Don't look at me with that face! You'll see you'll have a lot of fun!"
Draco looked at her, and felt his mouth water. Not because of the cooking lesson, but about the teacher.

"Draco, I've said to pour the flour into this bowl! Why are you mixing it with the sugar?" Ginny said, bored, while she used her wand to separate both ingredients.
"If we are going to mix it all later, why don't we put them together now?" he asked innocently.
"From now on, I'll have to use another strategy..." she sighed. Since they had started to cook, Draco had done nothing but ruin everything. She had asked him to break three eggs into a bowl, and he broke them with shell and all. Then he mixed the chocolate with solid butter, instead of melted butter... Ginny wasn't sure if he was doing so many mistakes on purpose, or simply because he didn't understand anything about cooking.
Right then, she got a great idea.
"Look, Malfoy, this dinner is very important to Julie and Mark, so you better start doing things correctly!" Ginny said, with a serious face. "We'll do a game..."
"What game?" he asked curious.
"Each time you do something correctly; I'll take off a piece of clothes. Each time you do something wrong, you'll take off a piece of clothes... Do you agree?" she asked, with a wicked grin.
"Sure do!" he said, excited at the thought of watching her undress. Now, the real fun was going to start.
"Mix the eggs with the sugar, and add the flour." Ginny told him the simple instruction.
Draco did so correctly, and stopped, looking at her with an enormous smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, smiling.
"Won't you take off the piece of clothes?" he asked, folding his arms against his chest.
"Why don't you take it off from me?" she proposed, in a low seductive voice.
Draco opened his eyes in shock at the proposition, and then smiled happily. Slowly he went to her front, and grabbed her t-shirt hem, to pull it off.
"I'm sorry, but the first clothe to get off his the apron!" she said, laughing at his disappointed face. "Don't worry... If you behave good, you'll get to that part!"
Nodding silently, he untied the apron, and took it off.
"Very well... Now, I want you to add the lemon juice and scraps, and then mix it all." She ordered. He cut the lemon in four and squeezed the juice into the bowl. Then, he cut the lemon skin in squares and threw it into the bowl, mixing it. When he finished, he looked at her with a big smile.
"Take off a piece of clothes, Draco! You've failed this one..." she laughed at his sad face.
Like her, he took off the apron and went back to work. Three instructions later, Draco was cooking bare-chested and on his boxers, while Ginny was fully dressed, except for her t-shirt. Draco had started to fail the instructions from the moment he took her t-shirt off from her. He couldn't stop looking at her chest, covered only in a baby blue bra.
"That's enough... Put the cake on the oven!" she ordered, and he obeyed. "So, was the cooking lesson as horrible as you feared?"
"No... I'm just sad that it's over!" he smiled, grabbing her waist in his arms, pulling her next to his body.
The feel of their skin in contact, made both sigh happily.
"Can I have dessert?" he asked with a wicked grin.
"Later... The cake will take some time to get cooked!" she said, playing with the blond strands on his forehead.
"This one is already cooked..." he whispered, kissing her lips gently, waiting for her response to his action.
Ginny sighed, and laced her arms behind his neck, giving herself to the kiss. Soon, she sat on the kitchen table, with Draco's body placed between her legs, still kissing passionately.
"You are a fantastic human ferment, you know that?" he whispered on her lips.
(A/N: in case you're wondering, Ferment is something you use to make the cakes and the bread grow when they are cooking!)
"Well, I can feel it right now!" she laughed amused. "I'm glad you've learned a thing or two about cooking!"
"Oh... I know a lot about some different cooking..." he smiled, kissing her once more.
He laid her on the kitchen table, and ran his hands over her entire body, slipping down her bra straps while kissing the top of her breasts, getting ready to take off her bra.
"HELLO!" Julie coughed at the kitchen entrance, surprising both of them.
Draco looked shocked, and Ginny got off the kitchen table the same instant, putting her t-shirt on.
"I'm sorry I interrupted the... cooking... but I need to take a bottle of Mark's favourite wine..." she explained, blushed and laughing.
"Go ahead!" Draco muttered, terribly blushed.
"Oh... one more thing! The table isn't the best place to do it... Believe me, we tried, but it kept sliding on the floor!" Julie said, brushing Ginny's hair with her fingers. "I can't even see the colour of your hair under all this flour!"
"Julie... sometimes your timing is awful!" Ginny sighed, and went to the oven to take a look at the cake, and took it off. "The cake is ready... I'm going to take a bath, and then I'll make dinner!"
With those words, Ginny left the kitchen and closed herself on the bathroom.
"Ginny, what are you doing? Are you going to loose your virginity to a Malfoy? Are you sure that's what you want?" she asked herself, looking at her reflection on the bathroom mirror. "You know he wants you... That was pretty obvious to feel against your body, but are you sure you want to take this step just because he desires you?"
Sighing, Ginny went under the shower and let the cold water calm down her aching body.
"Hey, are you feeling cooler?" she asked Draco, when she went to the living room, a few minutes later.
"Yes... but frustrated!" he replied, patting the sit next to him on the couch. "You look much better without all that flour on you..."
"Thank you!" she smiled, sitting close to him, feeling his arm around her waist.
"We really got out of control, didn't we?" he asked, sighing.
"Why? Do you regret it?" she asked, feeling a little hurt.
"No way... You just don't know how desirable you are..." he sighed, kissing her forehead.
"Desirable..." she repeated unhappily.
That's all I am... Desirable. Not adorable. Not lovable. I'm glad Julie got us interrupted...
Ginny got up from the couch, and went to the kitchen, to start preparing dinner.
"Won't you let me help?" he asked, leaning against the doorframe, watching as Ginny made a lot of noise with the pans. She looked upset with something.
"I think you've learned enough for today... Look, Draco, today Julie is going to tell something really important to Mark, and I want to make them a very special dinner. Do you mind if we go eat somewhere else and stay somewhere else for the night? I want them to have plenty of time to enjoy the good news..." Ginny asked him, without looking at him. She had tears forming in her eyes, and she didn't even know why...
'Why am I crying? Yes, he just desires me, but why do I feel hurt about that?' she asked herself. 'I don't love him... or do I?'
"OK! What's the great news?" he asked, sitting at the kitchen table.
"Julie will tell you soon!" Ginny answered, starting to cook.
She was so absorbed to her task that she didn't even feel Draco coming behind her back.
"I don't know why you're so upset... But if the reason is me, I'm sorry!" he whispered in her ear, kissing her neck and leaving the kitchen.
'My old roommates were right! I'm sexually frustrated... I shouldn't be waiting for true love... I'm starting to believe there isn't such thing...' Ginny thought, while she stirred her cooking.
