The Room of Enchantment
Ginny took another bite of her tuna casserole she was eating at the Gryffindor table beside Ron and Hermione. Harry was off with Cho somewhere. They'd been going out since almost the beginning of the year and since than harry was never around anymore. She didn't wonder what they were doing though, it was quite obvious they were off making out somewhere. Ginny snuck another look at Draco at the Slytherin table across the hall. He saw her and smiled back quickly and than turned back to his lunch again. They decided to go out of course, but they didn't want it to get it out to the school. They knew what with their rivalring families it wouldn't exactly be a happy environment for the both of them, let alone welcoming.
Ginny smiled to herself, she hadn't been this happy since...well ever. "What are you so happy about?" Ron asked her accusingly from a couple seats down where he had been chatting with Hermione.
"Hmm? ...Nothing." Ginny answered him barely glancing at Ron and than taking another bite of her casserole.
"Fine, hide it from me. You know I'll find out eventually." Ron said back.
"Sure, whatever" Ginny said shortly, took another sip of her pumpkin juice and than got up and left the table.
Ron raised and eyebrow and looked at Hermione who had watched the short conversation. "Oh leave her alone, just because you're not having much of a love life...or let alone any love life doesn't mean you have to take it out on her." Hermione said and than pushed out her chair and left the table as well. Ron watched her walk away with her books now with one eyebrow raised. "Girls" He muttered to himself.
Draco walked out of his transfiguration class later that afternoon with a ton of homework. He would've been very grumpy about this but he had been too much in a good mood lately for anything to disturb him now. He turned to face a seventh year Slytherin boy who had poked his shoulder.
"Hey Draco, want to play some wizard's chess in the Great Hall once dinner's over?" He asked enthusiastically.
"I can't." Draco said shortly. "I've already got plans tonight sorry." Draco finished but seeing the disappointed look on the boy's face he continued. "But Pansy was looking for something to do tonight, I mean if you wanted to ask her."
The boy's face brightened slightly and he said "Thanks, I'll go find her." Then he turned and walked away.
Draco continued walking to the Great Hall where dinner was being served shortly. He sat down beside a couple seventh year Slytherins and started to talk to the new kid Cade Smith until dinner appeared on the table.
"So, do you have a girlfriend?" Draco asked Cade, his mouth full of mashed potatoes.
"Not yet." Cade answered "But there's this one girl, Lindsey, in sixth year Slytherin who's really cute."
Draco smiled slightly remembering the tall girl with long wavy black hair sitting by the fire in the Slytherin dorm, talking with her friends or reading a book. "Well you may be out of luck there. She doesn't seem to be the kind to date, but you never know."
Cade didn't look discouraged he just smiled and said "Well, that's not going to stop me." He smiled again at Draco and than said "Well, I'm gunna attempt to do my potions essay, been a long day. Catch ya later."
"Yeah" Draco put in. "See you" He smiled at cade and than finished eating his dinnner. Once he was finished he left the hall and started up to his dorm to finish some homework before he would meet Ginny again.
It was now 11:30 and Draco had finally finished his transfiguration homework. He shut his book and got out of the chair he'd been sitting in to stretch. He looked around the empty common room once more before he left to make sure no one was still there. Silently he crept for the third night in a row out of the common room and into the hall. He made his way swiftly to the girl's washroom and than said the password to get into the chamber.
Once through with the painful transmission from the washroom to the chamber floor Draco got up off his bottom and automatically went into the "hangout room". Draco was surprised when Ginny wasn't there, he thought she probably hadn't come down yet but just in case she was planning on jumping out on him he looked behind the couch before leaving the room.
He checked the other two rooms and hadn't had any luck in retrieving Ginny so he decided to wait a while longer and if she didn't show up than he would go get some sleep finally. Draco walked into the bathroom and unzipped the zipper of his pants. He had his eyes on a part of the wall that seemed to be chipped as he was going to the bathroom. He zipped up his zipper still eyeing the wall and than the chip moved.
"What the-" Draco said shocked and he moved backwards right into the bathtub and fell in.
The crease in the wall formed a small door and it opened and Ginny's head popped out.
"Good one" Ginny said, laughing histarically.
"Thanks" Draco replied lifting himself out of the tub. "Like my ass wasn't sore enough from all those falls."
"Falls?" Ginny asked, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Yeah, you know from getting into this lovely home of of yours." Draco answered in an obvious tone.
Ginny looked at Draco for another second and than continued laughing again.
"What?!" Draco asked annoyed.
"That's not the only way into the chamber you know." Ginny said and laughed again at the look on Draco's face. "You can get into the chamber by knocking three times on the wall beside the last stall in the bathroom and than walking inside and saying "Prosteverous" ".
"Thanks for telling me that now." Draco said, still annoyed. "So can you explain why you're hiding out in the wall?"
Ginny smiled "Come see yourself." She turned and disappeared in the darkness, Draco followed behind her. They came out a few seconds later outside the castle. Outside the castle? Draco thought to himself, that can't be.
"Where are we?" Draco asked.
"This is my garden, and yes we are still in the chamber. I've enchanted this room to look as if we're in the middle of a summer day." Ginny explained and walked towards the middle of the room. "This place could go on for miles if you wanted it to. Whatever you want it to be it will be. Even if it's in the middle of the ocean."
Draco gulped. Ever since he was young he'd had a childish fear of the deep ocean and all that lurked within it. He followed behind Ginny and looked around the room.
"It's nice" Draco said, he walked along the grassy rim of a small pond with beautiful drooping trees and flowers encircling it. He bent over to dip his hand in the water, it was warm. He ran his fingers through the pond of silky water. He just stood there, bent over for a moment, taking in the peacefulness of the room when there was a rustle of grass behind him and right when he turned around two hands pushed him back into the pond.
Draco's head popped up from the water a moment later to see Lindsey laughing histarically at the soaked boy in the water.
"Sorry" She said, through laughs. "Couldn't...resist..." Her smile suddenly turned into a shocked look and than she came plunging into the water right where Draco had been a second before.
Ginny's face came into view standing where Lindsey had been and her face was red with laughing. Ginny stopped laughing when Lindsey's head didn't break the surface of the pond. Draco looked down and said "I don't see anything."
Ginny's expression instantly turned to worried and she moved to the edge of the pond and looked in herself. She than came flying face first into the pond herself. She broke the surface and saw Lindsey and Draco now laughing and they did a high five.
"I can't...believe...I fell for...that" Ginny said between gasps of air from the shock of falling in.
After they'd finally climbed out of the pond after a long tiring swim, Lindsey left to hit the sack which left Ginny and Draco alone again in silence.
"There's something I've been meaning to ask you..." Draco started and Ginny looked up at him intently, waiting for him to ask his question.
"How the hell did you get all this furniature down here in the first place?" Draco laughed "I'm sure you didn't call the movers?" Ginny laughed at this and started to explain.
"Well," she started "My grandmother used to make me these little peices of furniature for everytime she came to visit, to put in my doll house. So I just enlarged them with a spell." Ginny said and than added "Simple as that".
Ginny moved herself over to Draco and sat herself in his lap, snuggling closely with him. She lay her head on his chest and hummed to herself quietly for lack of anything else to do. Draco looked at the corner and smiled to himself so Ginny couldn't notice, he didn't want to admit how happy he'd been lately while being with Ginny...
R/R!! Now, that's an order! Doo itt!...shakes fist or Bob will eat you! Right star?
