Hey! Once again, standard disclaimer applies, blah, blah, blah...
Chapter 5
When Ginger woke up in the morning she smiled. That had been her first completely dream free night. She knew that she couldn't go back to sleep because she had Transfiguration to go to at 9:00. Ginger looked at her clock and saw that it was 7:30. She knew that would be just enough time to get a shower and get ready for the day so she lazily sat up. She suddenly realized that she had no clothes on. The previous night came back to her. 'Oh shit,' She thought, 'I completely forgot to use anything! Maybe Madam Pomfrey could help me.' Ginger jumped up, all grogginess gone, and walked over to the bathroom. She began to get lost in thought as she looked out the door and saw a sleeping Draco. 'I better wake him, he might have classes too.' Ginger slipped her silky, short robe on and put a loose tie in it as she walked over to Draco. She bent down so she was level with him.
Ginger ran a hand down the side of his face. "Draco?" she whispered softly, "Draco? Hey, you need to get up," She repeated a little louder. Ginger rolled her eyes when there was no response. She gently ran her finger down the bridge of his nose and giggled when he jumped up.
"Bloody Hell!" Draco exclaimed, "Um, ok, I wasn't ever woken up that way before."
Ginger giggled in response. She smiled and then remembered why she woke him in the first place, "Do you have any classes this morning?" Ginger looked at him as his face went from confusion to recognition.
"Oh! Yeah, I do actually, I have Charms. I gotta put up with the bloody Hufflepuffs." Draco told her, rolling his eyes at the last statement. Ginger looked at him. She was thinking about last night, about when he said that he loved her, she told him the same thing.
"Um, Draco," Ginger started, slightly nervous, what if he didn't mean it?
"Yeah Ging?" Draco looked at her expectantly. He remembered all too well what had happened the night before and he wouldn't have changed any of it.
"About last night, um" Ginger didn't know how to put what she felt into words.
Draco looked at her, he looked almost scared. While Ginger thought he was afraid of having to tell her that he lied, Draco was actually thinking that she was trying to tell him that it didn't mean anything.
"Yeah?" He asked, trying to get her to continue.
"Um, did you mean it? What you said?" Ginger looked as though she was bracing herself for the worst.
"Yes, Ginger, I did mean it. I meant every word and I wouldn't change a thing about last night for anything." Draco admitted. "Actually, I was scared that you were going to say that you didn't mean anything by it."
Ginger looked at him again. Then she asked a question that popped into her head, "Well, what are we then? What is there between us?" Ginger looked at him patiently.
"Well, I was actually planning on inviting you to sneak out to Hogsmeade with me to the Rising Moon tonight to ask you this but since you asked..." Draco looked at her, taking in her beauty. 'God, she's so beautiful and she acts like she hasn't a clue.' He took her hand and kissed it and said, "Ginger, will you be my girlfriend?"
Ginger knew this was coming and was slightly amused at how he was being so formal about it. He almost acted as though he was asking her to marry him. Ginger thought for a moment about the pummeling that would occur when her brother and Harry found out. She didn't think Hermione would like it either. When she thought of their reactions, she grinned. She thought about how much she loved him and she said the answer right away, "Yes Draco, I would love to be your girlfriend."
Draco knew he would be putting her in danger but he wouldn't be able to live being so close to her and not being able to have her completely. Draco thought she might want to know that she may be put in danger but he didn't know how to tell her because even though he knew it was selfish, he knew he wouldn't be able to bear the thought of her leaving him. Luckily, he didn't have to tell her.
"I'm going to be put in danger aren't I? By being with you? It's going to piss off your father and Voldemort." Ginger said, almost reading his mind. "I don't care, I'm going to die someday, everyone is, we have to do what we want when we want because we might loose our chance to if we don't." Ginger said, "And I want to be with you."
"Ging, want me to walk you when you're ready?" Draco wanted to get off the topic, he couldn't even think about her death.
"Yeah, let me get a shower first though."
Ginger walked back into the bathroom thinking about Draco. She knew that she loved him, she loved him so much it hurt. Ginger sighed as the hot water cascaded down her back, gently massaging it. She got out and dried off quickly, she thought Draco might want one too and they were running out of time by now, it was 8:00. She figured it would take them about ten minutes to get to her Transfiguration class and she figured another ten for Draco to get from there to Charms. She didn't want him to be late because of her. She walked out and asked him if he would like her to run to the kitchens to grab them some quick breakfast and get an elf to run to his room and get him some clothes. He agreed and told her to tell them to get him all his jeans, about twenty of his shirts, his boxers, socks, and his robes. Draco disappeared into the bathroom to get his shower. Ginger smiled to herself as she opened her closet door and leafed quickly through her clothes and smirked when she came across her diamond lingerie. An idea became present in her mind. She put them in the back, deciding to use them later. Ginger ended up wearing a pair of low rise faded jeans and a velvet forest green top with a low, box cut neckline and sleeves that belled out slightly. She wore a pair of black dragon-hide fashion boots with a spiked heel. She said a spell and her hair instantly dried and had slight curls at the end. She decided to finish later, she needed to get to the house elves.
Ginger opened her portrait to the kitchens. She found a house elf who looked willing to do an errand and sent her for Draco's clothes. Ginger asked another elf to get them some breakfast. Ginger walked back into her room, using her portrait and set their food down on her desk. Ginger went to her closet as she bit into a piece of toast. Something caught her eye, it was one of her diamond belts, she picked it up and walked over to her mirror and put it on, singing to herself, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." It looked perfect with her outfit. She had just dabbed on a little make-up when a house elf popped into her room and gave her Draco's requested clothes.
Not two minutes after the elf left Draco came out of the bathroom with nothing on but a towel held loosely around his waist. He smiled when he saw Ginger. She showed him where his clothes were; she had the elf hang them in the opposite end of her closet. Draco grabbed a pair of black jeans, a tight black shirt, and a casual red button down top. He changed while Ginger ate some more of her breakfast. Draco soon joined her. They ate fast and Draco put his boots on and said a spell so dry his hair and was about to slick it back when Ginger mentioned that she thought she liked it better the way it was. So, he decided to leave it. The two headed towards Ginger's class with Draco's arm around her waist and hers around his. The got many different looks from many different people, some were angry, some were sad, some were laughing but one stepped forward and let a punch loose which caught Draco by surprise. This punch belonged to Ron Weasley.
"What do you think you're doing Malfoy?" Ron yelled. That was Ron's way, punch first, and ask questions later.
"Well, Weasel, I seem to be walking my girlfriend to her class," Draco drawled, loving the looks on Ron's face. "Or at least I was before I got punched for no reason at all, in front of a lot of witnesses."
Ron looked green. The school was really going down hard on school fights; some people even got expelled.
Harry ran out of the crowd, followed closely by Hermione. Harry tried to warn Ron but it was too late, Malfoy had punched him hard, breaking his nose. Harry then stepped up to Draco.
"What do you want Potter?" Draco said, sounding bored.
"What did you do to her Malfoy? Did you use the imperious? Or was it a potion? I knew I should have done something when I saw you lurking outside our common room." Harry was green with jealousy. How could the sweet little Ginny ever go to this slime of all people, she didn't love Malfoy, he knew, because she loved him. He decided to make this known to Malfoy.
"Malfoy, don't think you're fooling anyone with those lies, she couldn't ever even like you let alone want to date you!" Harry said punching Draco to the ground.
"Hey Potter, news flash, she isn't an eleven year old with a silly crush anymore, it isn't my fault she got sick of waiting around for you to notice her great body!" Draco was now on top of Harry, punching him mercilessly. Harry said something to Draco that no one else could hear. Draco was driven into a blind rage. He began slamming Harry's head against the hard floor and punching him in the face, he didn't stop until he heard Ginger whimper. He looked up and looked back down to the unconscious Harry. And he looked over to Ron who had a broken nose, which was still flowing with blood.
Hermione looked at Harry and tears came to her eyes. She produced a stretcher and carried Harry on it to the hospital wing with Ron walking next to her.
Draco went back over to Ginger and grabbed her hand. "You better get to class, you don't want to be late."
"But what about you?" Ginger said, not wanting to be left alone.
"I'll be fine," Draco said, then, noticing her face, "Would you still like me to walk you?"
"Please," Ginger was scared of what the Slytherins would do to her now, after Draco's fight with Harry and Ron she was scared about what the jealous people on his side would do to her.
"You know that I won't let anything happen to you right?" Draco said seriously, "And if anyone ever does hurt you in any way, they will pay."
Ginger nodded her head and they walked toward her class. Draco left her at the door with a loving kiss and a hug and a promise to meet up with her after class. He promised to be there for her and that was what he planned to do. Draco looked at his watch, 'Damn, I'm going to be late for Charms if I don't hurry.'
Draco hurried to his class, sitting down just in time. He sat through Professor Flitwick's class, thinking of when he could be with Ginger again.
In Ginger's class, she couldn't concentrate on a word her Professor said. She kept thinking about the relationship between herself and Draco. She knew it all happened fast but to be honest, she had always had a bit of a thing for him, she just never knew it was this big.
Ginger smiled as she waited for Draco by the Main Hall. She turned when she heard her name being called. "Hey Ginger! Do you know what happens when you steal my boyfriend?" the screechy voice of Pansy Parkinson rang out in the hall. "This!" She yelled as she swung a punch at her. Ginger braced herself for a punch that never came.
A/N: Hey!

As for my plans for capturing James Marsters and Tom Felton, I now almost have enough people for my plan to go into action. Please Review!!!!
