From dusk 'till dawn
Up to the moon

It has been 2 weeks since Ginny realised her crush on her professor. She tried to avoid him as much as possible but of course 8 hours of potions a week wasn't helping her.

*She was standing on a balcony of a white and beautiful manor. It was already night and the sky was clear. It was a week before the full moon and the stars were shining bright. She felt happy and content.

Suddenly two strong, comforting arms encircled her. She leaned back into the warm chest of the person behind her. She felt safe and loved in those arms.

"I love you" the person said and kissed her on the side of her head. Ginny turned around and was met by a pair of silver-grey eyes looking lovingly into her own chocolate brown.

"And I love you Draco" she said and kissed him very passionate on his lips. He immediately kissed her back with even passion.

They broke apart.

"I love you more" Draco said and nipped her nose.

"No, I love you more" Ginny said.

"I love you from here to al the way up to Asia" Draco said smirking.

"And I love you from here to al the way up to the moon" Ginny answered playfully.

Draco just looked at her, smiling a real smile, held her close almost afraid of loosing her and kissed her. Together they stood stargazing and then.*

Ginny woke up after having yet again a dream of Draco. She was flushed as she remembered her dream. It seemed so real.

'God I must stop having these dreams'

She looked at her clock and saw it was almost time for breakfast. She got out of bed, took her clothes and took a shower. After she got dressed she put her books in her bag and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

******************************************************

*Draco saw his rose, his angel, his little flame standing on the balcony, the wind playing with her hair, her night-gown billowing round her, the moonshine making her look like a goddess, and a tranquil and content look on her face.

He went forward silently and put his arms around her waist. She leaned back in his chest.

He felt manly, calm and also her faith and trust and something else. ("Pixie-dust???" asked a lost-boy. Oops wrong story. Sorry!!) A feeling he couldn't really describe. It was kind of a fluttering feeling in his stomach while at the same time he felt like he was floating, his head was cloudy.

"I love you" he whispered in her ear and gave her a little kiss on her sleep.

Ginny turned around and he met her chocolate twinkling eyes.

"And I love you Draco" Ginny answered.

She then leaned up and kissed him very passionate on his lips. He immediately kissed her back with even passion.

They broke apart.

"I love you more" Draco said and nipped her nose.

"No, I love you more" Ginny said.

"I love you from here to al the way up to Asia" Draco said smirking.

"And I love you from here to al the way up to the moon" Ginny answered playfully.

Draco just looked at her, smiling a real smile, held her close almost afraid of loosing her and kissed her. Then they turned back to look at the stars. His hands started to wander over her stomach and went lower and lower and.*

Draco woke up.

'OMG, I can not just have dreamed that?'

But his arousal made it clear he did have dreamed that.

'Damn, now I need a cold shower'.

He got out of bed and went to the shower. The cold water didn't help his problem as the memory of a certain redheads body pressed against him came flowing back.

'A redheaded students body at that! Damn this has to stop. This can ruin my career as a teacher.'

His erection growing harder by the minute was starting to get painful. He gripped his cock and started the move is hand up an down his shaft while picturing it was Ginny her hand doing this. He came closer and closer and closer and came with a smashing orgasm. He sank to his knees.

'Damn you Weaselette! Why do you have to be so beautiful, so sexy?'

He had stopped calling him self names for thinking of the Weaselette as beautiful after all, she was indeed a beauty.

'My father would kill me if he knew this. How would his son, the Malfoy- heir, dare liking that scum of Weasley?'

But what was it that he, during these 2 weeks, after that kiss in the halls, was feeling for her? He remembered his dream. Love? Did he love her? 'No, I can't be in love with her. But that feeling. Could it really be? No! Yes! NO! YES! I love her!'

Draco got out of the shower, got dressed and still feeling weird with the realisation he actually could love, and a Weasley at that, he went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Upon nearing he just saw Ginny walking trough the doors of the hall. She stopped and was looking to the staff table. He couldn't resist.

"Looking for me, Weaselette? Look I know I'm the most sexiest person you have seen but there is a law against stalking so don't you go and do that." Draco said, no emotion could be seen on his face.

"Malfoy, hi!" Ginny said in a sarcastic way "Yeah look, first of all I'm most certainly not stalking you. Secondly: nickname Weaselette, it's getting old, very old. Oh and about you being the most sexiest person, I was thinking more about the lines of most .. perverted person."

Malfoy was surprised at how cool she acted.

"Ouch! That hurt Weasley. And here I thought you found me drop-dead gorgeous. After all, your crush on me is really obvious" Draco replied. 'What shall she say at this hah!'

"Are you trying to say you have a crush but you are trying to reverse it by saying I have a crush on you. Didn't know you would go the psychological way" Ginny retorted.

"I certainly have not a crush on you Weasel" Draco answered a little bit of panic in his voice. 'Keep calm Draco! She can't know how close she is to the truth'

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that" Ginny said.

"This is intimidating a teacher Miss Weasley" Draco said, pulling up his defences.

This got Ginny mad.

"What about intimidating a student, professor?" she asked and purring while saying professor.

"Detention! Tonight. Potions-classroom. 20.00. And 20 points from Gryffindor." Draco almost shouted angry.

"What? But."

But Draco had already entered the Great Hall and took a seat at the staff- table.

******************************************************

Ginny was fuming inside. Upon entering the Great Hall she looked over at the staff-table but Draco, she was calling him by his first name in her thoughts, wasn't there yet. The she heard the also familiar drawl and they started fighting. She was afraid he would notice her blush when he was saying things about a crush on him but she quickly retorted and got Draco mad by reversing the roles and purring while saying professor.

She took a seat at the Gryffindor-table and started her breakfast. 'I guess I went to far. Oh Damn, I've got double potions first. Damn!'

******************************************************

Double Potions

"Students, today we are going to make a the pepper-up potion. Everybody certainly knows this potion so, miss Lerio tell me for what is it used and what are the key-ingredients?" professor Malfoy asked.

"It is used to help a person get lost of a cold. The key-ingredients are paprika, a hair of a fox, 2 spoons of spice-powder and a piece of a space- chickenheart."

"Correct 5 points to Slyhterin. Okay, now start working, instructions are on page 325 of your book. You may begin."

Draco went back to his desk and started to correct some papers. After 20 minutes he stood up and went around the class checking how the potions were going.

"Cut your space-chicken again M. Kerian. It has to be very fine cut."

"After adding the space-chicken your potion normally should be yellow, not crème-coloured miss Jentington."

"Good, now add the hair of a fox M. Creevey and let it boil and your potion is ready. Mmm, strange colour of red. Are you sure it was a foxes hair you put in and not one of Weasley here."

"Euhm." Colin said but was interrupted by Ginny.

"Yes, it s a hair of a fox, it's just not the normal red because your spice- powder is outdated." Ginny said dryly and smirking.

Draco took the jar with spice-powder and looked at the date. It should have been thrown away a month ago. 'Damn, Virgi-err Weaselette is right'

"It seems you are correct, why didn't you inform me before you added the powder? It could have been dangerous." Draco asked.

"Well, actually outdated spice-powder isn't dangerous at all, the effect just is smaller so I didn't found it necessary to inform you sir."

"Good, 2 points for Gryffindor" Draco said smirking. 'She is a smart one, oh yeah'.

The bell went and next they had DADA with Snape. Now that he had the position of DADA-teacher he was far more tolerable. When she and Colin entered the classroom the Ravenclaw 7th-years and the other Gryffindors were already there. They took the only place left, which was in front of the classroom. Snape entered and the chattering stopped.

"Class, today we are going to investigate vampires. Can anyone tell me something about what is said in 'Dark creatures and their habitat' about vampires? Miss Weasley?"

"Well, a vampire is a so-called living-dead person. You become a vampire when you are bitten by one and an exchange of blood happens. Your blood- flow slows down and your skin looses her pigment, and this is why vampires can't stand the sun because their skin is to sensitive. They all have a great dislike of garlic so this is a good repelling-weapon. You can kill one by spiking his heart with a wooden spike or slice their head of."

"5 points for Gryffindor. Now, you read chapter 9 and 10. In silence! And write a paper on one of the mentioned vampires. 2600 words at least. You have to hand it over in 2 weeks. Start reading."

Ginny flopped her book open and started reading when Colin shoved a paper to her asking what was wrong. A whole conversation was written down:
What's wrong? Why are you acting so weird?
Nothing. I just had a run in with Malfoy this morning
So? Normally you would be happy after having a fight with
your loverboy. And since when did you go back as referring to
him with his last name?
Since he gave me a detention.
When?
Tonight. Can you believe that, a detention on a bloody Friday
night!!
I'm sorry Gin. But look at the bright sight, it will be just you,
him and a deserted classroom ;)
Colin puh-lease. You know as well as I that there is nothing
going to happen. Nothing could possibly happen.
Why not?

We fight all the time!

That's just showing you're afraid of admitting your love for
him.
We have nothing in common
Opposites attracted
I'm a Weasley and he's a Malfoy. It's not done, not spoken of
and impossible
Same has been said about Montague and Capulet (=) I rimed)
Gee, congratulations with your riming.
Thanks
You do also know that Romeo and Julia were dead at the end
of the story, don't you?
Yeah but that was like. in the Middle Ages, this is now

It's not going to happen, the feud is the same, maybe even

bigger between our families

After class finished Colin went to Divination and Ginny to Health-potions with nobody else then the one and only Draco Malfoy.

There were only 6 students in this class. 4 Ravenclaws, 1 Slytherin and Ginny.

She entered and took her place next to Arius Gendial, the only Slytherin she could stand and that was only because the common interest in being a medi-witch/wizard. Arius didn't call her names and found that they could work perfectly fine together after being put together by force.

Draco entered. He ignored her throughout the lesson and that was for the best. They had to make a difficult potion. She and Arius started on the potion, when it was done Arius put it in a vile and Ginny cleaned up the desk.

It was lunchtime. She ate her lunch while chatting happily away with Colin. Her afternoon went by quickly and easy. She had Transfiguration with McGonagal, Health-lab with Madame Pomfrey and Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid.

After dinner she went up to the tower to put away her bag and went to the dungeons for her detention

"Don't do anything I would do" Colin called after her.

"I won't!" and of she went.

When she entered the classroom, Draco was there grading papers. The door squeaked and Draco looked up.

"Ah, come in miss Weasley. Tonight you may dust the cabinets and put the ingredients in alphabetical order back on the shelves."

"Okay sir"

She started dusting and when she finished she started putting the bottles and jars on the shelves.

'Damn, the shelves are high.'

She took a chair and started to put al the 'A'-ingredients on the highest shelve. The jar with asphodel root was very heavy. She lost her balance and was just able to put the jar down when she fell. She closed her eyes for impact but she never hit the floor. When she opened her eyes she found herself in the arms of Draco Malfoy and was drowning in the familiar silver- grey eyes. Draco leaned in and there lips met in a passion-filled kiss.
