Chapter 3

Draco was waiting outside the castle when Pansy came up to him.

"Dracee! Oh I heard the most awful rumor that you kissed the Weasellette. She

must have started it for attention. How pitiful."

Draco smirked as he replied. "No Pansy, I did kiss her, and her name is Virginia.

She's a hell of a lot better at kissing than you are, by the way."

Pansy looked furious stormed off, muttering something about revenge as Ginny came out.

She saw Draco and blushed crimson, remembering their encounter the day before. She

slowly walked up to him, and he noticed that she was sadder than usual.

"Virginia," he said while pulling her close, "what's the matter?"

She shook her head and muttered "Nothing, can we please go to Hogsmead already?"

When they arrived at Madam Malkins they split up so they would surprise each

other on their outfits. What Ginny didn't know was that Draco was also getting her fitted

for new robes and cloaks for her Christmas present. She finally decided on an emerald

green dress that had 1 inch criss-cross straps that showed some cleavage and hugged her

upper body. When she bought it and had it put away, Draco was already done and waiting

for her.

When she came out his eyes lit up and he hurriedly paid for everything so he

could take her away.

"Now Virginia, the dream team is still at Hogwarts, so lets go back and you'll sit

at my table for lunch, just for kicks."

She nodded and they went back to the castle. Right before they went in he grabbed her

and pulled her into a kiss. It was deep on his part, but Ginny wasn't enjoying

it. Finally he broke off and brought her to a tree by the lake.

"Ok, Ginny you're going to tell me what's the matter. Spill."

"Well... I keep getting harassed by every one. Earlier this morning Pansy threatened

to kill me for touching you. Last night the dream team threatened to owl my mum and

dad, then they threatened to disown me... and when Harry caught me alone, he grabbed

me really hard and forced me into a kiss. He said 'If Malfoy can have you so can I you

little slut."

"Ignore them, they're just jealous. You needn't worry, I'll take care of them."

Ginny smiled and looked up at him. Yes, this was definitely more complicated than

she thought it was going to be.

A bit of Ginny...

Ginny sat on her bed, closing the canopy around her. This was so complicated. She had

already pissed off the Dream Team and half of Gryffindor, and it was the first day.

Imagine what would be happening after a month. And later on tonight was the ball. Oh

man, she thought, I've got so many feelings for him I don't know what I'm gonna do

tonight, at the last slow dance.

How am I gonna explain all this to Mum and Dad? They're gonna be furious, after all,

we hate Malfoys... Or at least they do.

A bit of Draco...

Draco sat down by the fireplace in his common room. No one else was around, and if

they were, they knew to stay away. In his hand was a letter, from his father. He knew

what he was going to have to do, what he couldn't get out of. There was no way around

it. He'd tried everything he could, he ran away, he hung out with muggles and now he

was dating a Weasley.

Why wasn't his father backing off? He thought. Why didn't his father realize that

wasn't the life for him?

He sighed. And why was he letting himself be kind to the Weasley out of public? It

was only a public thing, pretending to be her boyfriend. So why did he care about what

was going on with her?
