Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, places, ideas, etc. that are contained within Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling does. The only thing I can even remotely try to claim ownership of is my part of the plot. So please don't sue me, remember I am a lowly 16 year old girl, I have no money, so you wouldn't be gaining anything. Anything else you recognize from any other place, I don't own that either, sometimes these ideas fly into my head before I realize where it came from. Thank you. I think that covers everything, I hope.

Chapter Four: Gingerbread Kiss

Gabrielle walked down the corridor to meet up with Draco. She was just reaching the compartment that she saw Draco get pulled into earlier when he came out of it, like he had been thrown out. Then she saw the door slide closed as Draco stood right in front of it mouth open like he was about to say something and finger raiser in the air. Gabrielle stopped in her tracks. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, was it possible, had it really happened? Had Draco…?

"Been kicked out by Pansy, eh?" Gabrielle asked about to crack up. No matter what was going on today she always found a reason to laugh.

"No, planned on it." Draco said with a smirk turning to face Gabrielle. "Shall we?" he said stretching an arm in front of him gesturing towards the corridor.

"Sure you planned on it. I think that you made Pansy mad and she evicted your ass." She said with a smile.

"Well, yes you could say that. But I had wanted to leave her nasty presence the whole time. So, you could say that I indeed had planned on it the whole time." He said as he walked.

"Oh, I see. So what did you say to make her so angry anyway?"

"Oh, she finally realized I'd rather go out with a hippogriff than date her that's all."

"Ahhhh, I see now. So who's the 'hippogriff'?"

"What? No one." He said a little rattled but regained his composure almost immediately.

"Sure, whatever you say." She said not believing him one bit.

"I have a feeling you don't believe me one bit."

"No, really?" she said mock gasping. "What would give you that idea?"

"The same thing that gives me the idea that you, like, me. Body language." He said slowly and deliberately stopping where he was. Gabrielle noticed he stopped and did so as well.

"Why, I don't know what you are talking about." She said obviously lying while blushing an incredible shade of red.

"Liar. There it is again, body language." He said moving closer while smiling at her. "Just admit it. You like me."

"Fine I like you." She said now a violent shade of scarlet, but her blush rapidly decreasing. Draco smiled. "But now, why don't you admit you like me?"

It was now Draco's turn to blush though his blush was more of a pale pink tinge in his cheeks.

"I do not. You flatter yourself." He said continuing to walk, Gabrielle joined him. After about thirty seconds of silence she spoke.

"You lie. It's your body language." She said as she hooked her arm in his and skipped down the hall laughing because she was dragging Draco behind her.

"Do stop, will you."

"Not until you say it."

"Fine woman, I like you."

"Awww, see. Not so hard." She said stopping what she was doing and flicking his nose with her pointer finger.

"Hey now!" he said.

"You're an all star, get your game on, go play!" She sang. "Wow I'm really hyper." All the while Draco was standing there confused because he doesn't listen to muggle music that often.

"I think I need to calm you down." He said with a wicked grin.

"You'll have to catch me first!" she told him running down the corridor. Draco ran after her. She was just running past Harry's compartment when she started singing, "Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

In Harry's Compartment…

"What the?" asked Hermione as Gabrielle ran past.

"Was that?" asked Harry looking at Ryan.

"Yeah, don't ask." Answered Ryan as he looked out the window in time to see Draco run past.

Back in the Corridor…

"My God, woman! We're supposed to act responsible!" yelled Draco finally catching up with her. "Don't you know that the gingerbread man gets eaten by the wolf in the end?" he asked when he cornered her at the back of the train.

"Tag, you're it." she said as she started to run again but Draco caught her before she started and cornered her against the wall.

"I won! So what's my prize?"

"Ummm… I dunno, I'll buy you a chocolate frog. How's that?"

"No good. I don't feel like chocolate at the moment."

"How about Berttie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?"

"Nope. I'm not hungry for food at the moment."

"Well, what are you hungry for? Wait, you aren't a vampire are you?" she asked. Then to herself, 'That would be bad."

"No, I'm not a vampire." He said smirking.

"Oh good! Wait then, I don't get it. What do you want?" she asked confused.

"This." He said as he leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Oh," she said now calmed down. "Well, that was very nice." She said looking up at him.

"Mmmmhmm. I know. Do you always act this ditzy?"

"Nope, only when I'm hyper."

"I see, just wondering."

"Okay, well then. I'll just be going." She said trying to duck out underneath Draco's arm.

"Not yet."

"What?"

"Not yet, I'm not done."

"Oh. Right, what?" Draco shook his head and leaned into to kiss her, this time longer. "Oh." she said when they parted. Then she heard footsteps so she ducked out from in front of Draco just in time as Harry came up.

"Right, you guys are off duty." Said Harry, looking from Draco to Gabrielle and shooting a daggerous look at Draco.

"I'll walk you back Gabrielle." Said Harry putting his arm around Gabrielle.

"Thanks Harry." She said smiling up at him. She loved the feeling of being wrapped in Harry's arms. She sighed deeply when they reached the compartment. "Thanks again Harry." She said hugging him, wishing it were more.

"Welcome" said Harry, wishing the very same thing.

Okay I know Gabrielle was a ditz in this chapter. Well that's the way I felt like writing this chapter. And no I don't know who will end up with whom. Sorry it is so short. Please review.
