On Christmas Eve, Ginny received her presents from her mom. There was ten in all; eight from her family and two from Harry and Hermione. The letter her mother sent with the gifts told her not to open them until Christmas morning. She complied, thinking it best to open them when she was with Kelsey and Draco. Ginny was hoping that Draco and Kelsey would be getting gifts other than the ones from her. If not, they would only get one present each thus making it a bad Christmas for them. Sure giving was better than receiving, but Kelsey was only a baby and Draco didn't really have any friends, so who would they 'give' to? Maybe Dumbledore will get them something, Ginny thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Ginny made her way to Draco's chambers laden with gifts. Since her hands were so full, she just walked in. Not spotting Draco nor Kelsey, she dumped the packages on the bed and went looking for them. Thinking it was to cold, she didn't bother going outside. Instead, she went first to the Great Hall. Draco said they wouldn't be going there, but maybe he changed his mind. She walked in, saw no sign of blonde hair, and walked out. Where could they be? Draco better not have the baby outside or I really will kill him, she thought. Making her way down the hall, she passed Professor McGonagall. Thinking she might know where Draco was at, she stopped her.
"Excuse me, Professor?"
"Yes Miss Weasley?"
"I was wondering if you knew where Professor Malfoy was. I need to ask him a question about my Potions homework."
"He's in the Headmasters office. I suggest you wait in his classroom and I'll let him know you're looking for him."
"Will do. Thanks Professor."
Ginny made her way to the Potions classroom. She might as well. That's were Draco thought she would be. When she got there, she sat at a desk and lay her head down. She was tired; she was up half the night reading the rest of Dying To Love. Ginny loved the way it ended. The girl in the book, Chelsea, had found her true love. It was in the farmhand, but it was love nonetheless. They ended up getting married and having two kids. That's what I want, Ginny thought after she finished. A husband and kids. A family.
Ginny was yanked out of her stupor by a chair scraping right next to her. Turning her head, she saw Draco peering at her. Breaking the silence, Ginny spoke first.
"Where's Kelsey?"
"If you can believe it, Dumbledore wanted to keep her for awhile. He said I needed a break," Draco replied.
"That's nice of him. You deserve a break. How long is he keeping her? I need to know what time to go back to your room."
"I have no idea. He said for a few hours. That man really enjoys her company."
Ginny chuckled.
"I see. Well just so you know, the gifts on the bed are mine," she said.
"Ok," he said.
"Well," she said, standing up and getting ready to leave,"I guess I should go."
As she turned to leave, she felt Draco grab her hand. She turned and looked at him.
"Don't go Ginny. I want to talk," he said quietly.
Stunned, Ginny slowly sat back down.
"Ok. About what exactly?" she asked.
"Look,"Draco began,"I've never been one to beat around the bush, so I'm not going to start now. You see Ginny, I like you. When I say like you I don't mean you're a good student. I mean you are, don't get me wrong, but that's not what I mean. I mean I really like you. You are beautiful, smart, funny, but most of all, you are great with Kelsey. I really appreciate the fact that you didn't laugh in my face and call me an idiot when I told ypu about Kelsey. And for that, I thank you," he finished.
Ginny was speechless. She was frozen to the spot with shock. All she could do was stare at Draco with wide eyes.
"Oh Draco. I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything Ginny."
Before Ginny knew it, Draco was leaning towards her, brushing his lips lightly against hers. He pulled away, but Ginny pulled him back and kissed him full on the lips. Hungry for more, she rubbed her tongue against Draco's bottom lip, begging for entry. Parting his lips their tongues collided causing Ginny to moan into his mouth. They finally broke apart, both gasping for air.
"Wow," Draco muttered.
"Ditto," Ginny whispered.
After a few minutes silence, Ginny finally spoke.
"So what does this mean exactly?" Ginny asked.
"If you are willing to be in a secret realtionship, then maybe we can be together."
"Secret? Why secret? Your father obviously doesn't matter," she asked, bewildered.
"Because Ginny. I'm a teacher and you sre one of my students. I would get fired if we got caught together, and I really need this job. But if you don't want a secret realtionship, then there's no way we can be together. At least not until you graduate, and that's a ways away. I dunno if I can wait that long," Draco explained.
"Oh I see. I want to be with you Draco, even if it has to be in secret," she said.
She was halfway to his mouth when he spoke again.
"Not here love. We could get caught. Do you want to go back to my room?" At the usure look on her face he hastily added, "I promise nothing will happen."
Ginny smiled..
"Sure."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night, Ginny was sitting cross legged on Draco's bed, Kelsey in front of her and Draco next to her. They had just finished opening their gifts; Ginny was right in assuming that Dumbledore would get the two something. He actually wasn't the only one. Kelsey had recieved a rattle, a ball and some blocks from Professor McGonagall. From Professor Flitwick, a doll that looked just like her. Ginny found that quite disturbing. Dumbledore had gotten her lollipops in all flavors. There was the normal flavored ones like cherry and strawberry, but there was also eggs and cheese. Ginny took all the suspicous looking ones and threw them away. Draco had receieved books from all the teachers. Draco and Kelsey had both opened Ginny's gifts at once, Kelsey squeling in delight and Draco kissing her in thanks.
Right before she was about to leave, Draco stopped her.
"This is for you. From both me and Kelsey," he said shyly.
Unwrapping it, Ginny gasped in shock. In her hands lay a scrapbook similar to the one she gave Hermione. But instead of pictures of the trio, there were pictures of Draco. Some were from his toddler days, others from his school days. The ones in the back were the most recent. Pictures of smiling Draco's and laughing Kelsey's stared at her. Ginny was overcome with joy.
"It's great Draco. Thank you."
"I thought you woul-"
Draco didn't have a chance to finish. Catching him by surprise, Ginny firmly placed her lips on his. Her lips already parted, he thrust his tongue in, tasting every part of her mouth. Suddenly Kelsey let out a loud laugh, and they were startled apart.
"I guess I should go," Ginny said in between laughs, "It's getting pretty late."
"Only if you must," Draco said, caressing her face with his hand.
"Alas, it is a must love. I forgot to send my mom, dad and Hermione their presents and they'll be miffed if I don't," she said, leaning into his touch.
"Ok then. Can I have one last kiss before you go?"
"Indeed you can," Ginny said, smiling.
Slowly they leaned towards each other, Draco taking her bottom lip into his mouth sucking on it causing Ginny to moan. Finally placing his lips full on hers, he kissed her passionately. Breaking them apart, Ginny got up, kissed Kelsey on her forehead and walked to the door. She paused and turned back around.
"Thanks Draco. For making this the best Christmas ever."
Then, she was gone.
