Summary: Ginny's got a secret admirer. Could he be that cute new teacher? Could he be her house team's seeker? Could he be someone whom she knew right from her very first year at Hogwarts? Or could he be one of the most unlikely person to even notice her?
Disclaimer: NOT MINE! Although I wish they were a product of my very own imagination, sad to say I only own the plot & the other characters that might pop up somewhere down the road here.
PhoenixRae's Note: OMG!!! I am so, so, soooo sorry for not updating soon enough. I didn't mean to wait this long, but damn this writer's block AND all the other things that happened in-between. But now I am back and...well, hopefully I'll be able to work on this FULL-TIME.

XVII. Game Over, Malfoy
If looks could kill Draco Malfoy would be a walking ghost by now. Ginny, with her piercing dark brown eyes focused solely on the slicked-haired Slytherin, was still fuming from what she found out the night before. The gall of that boy to play a stupid trick on her! Abby couldn't figure out why her friend was in a pissy mood. Hermione wasn't sure if she'd dare ask Ginny the simplest question. And Draco Malfoy was oblivious of the seething hatred emanating from Ginny right at that very moment.
All throughout breakfast Ginny glared at the Slytherin table. Whenever she caught Draco Malfoy laughing, she'd snarl. Whenever their eyes briefly lock across the crowded Great Hall, she'd give him bone chilling piercing glare. Ginny wasn't hiding her anger towards the Slytherin. Now more than ever she wanted to bash his head against one of the castle's hard walls until...until...well, she doesn't quite know yet what she'd want to do to Draco Malfoy's head once she got her hands around his neck. But she knew for a fact that he'd be beaten to a pulp. Or she'd just hex him to oblivion for all she cared!
Their morning classes flew by smoothly. Thankfully hers and Draco's path didn't cross. She, however, crossed paths with Blaise and out of sheer cordiality she inclined her head in greeting towards him. She passed by Oliver too on her way to the Great Hall for lunch, but she was too miffed at him for letting Draco use him to pull off this wild scheme of his to be cordial to her former housemate and History of Magic professor.
Ginny thought her morning was going to be Draco-free, but just as she turned the corner towards the Great Hall, she was on a course-collision with none other than the damn prick himself and Blaise. She gnashed her teeth and tried so hard not to reach out and clamp her hands around Draco's neck as she passed them by, but such opportunities were hard to let slip by.
Taking Draco by surprise, Ginny reached out her hand hand clamped it around his arm (she decided at the last minute to let him live after all) and without saying a word dragged him away from Blaise and Abby. She continued walking until they reached a dark, quiet nook just off the main hallway. Draco was about to make a protest but Ginny silenced him with a kiss.
Draco stiffened at the touch of Ginny's lips on his. He didn't know whether he was dreaming or if this was indeed reality. But Ginny's soft lips and warm breath against his face was enough proof to tell him that this wasn't a dream. Ginny Weasley actually dragged him to a dark corner of the castle to snog with him! How...unlikely.
Draco clamped his hands on Ginny's upper arms, intending to push her away, but Ginny must've known what he intended to do and instead she deepened the kiss, snaking her tongue into his mouth, making Draco suck in a great big, deep breath at the redhead's boldness. Her hands splayed wide against his chest, her fingers curling at the lapel of his robes, pulling him closer, urging him to return her kiss for kiss. And Draco was only a young man with needs. And right at that very moment he needed her. He needed Ginny like he needed to breathe. He didn't want to question why she was doing what she was doing now, only that she was doing it and not pushing him away.
Draco's started to rub his hands on her arms. Slowly. Gently. His tongue darted out and mated with hers. Each doing a swordfight against each other. He let one hand travel down the side of her, stopping right by her breast, his thumb underneath the ample-sized globe. His other hand tightened around her arm once more and pushed her closer, the proof of his arousal pressing against her stomach as Ginny kept up with their tongue's sword fighting. He sidestepped around her and was about to push her up against the wall, but Ginny pulled her mouth away, her hands gripping his robes' lapel slackened and Draco soon found himself pressed against the cold castle wall.
"Ginny--"
"Draco Malfoy of Slytherin House," she said under her breath, her brown eyes turned icy cold. "Did you honestly think you'd be able to keep your identity hidden from me, hm?" Ginny didn't bother waiting to hear what he had to say. She left him standing there, pushed up against the wall, high and dry, with his mouth hanging open as the meaning of what she said sunk in to the core of his brain.
Ginny returned back to where she left her best friend and Blaise, her lips pulled into a huge grin. She looked over her shoulder once and saw Draco stumbling back to join them with a shocked look on his pale face. Turning to look at Blaise, Ginny raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"I guess the APC's now unmasked, Zabini," she said haughtily and walked away with her chin thrust high in the air.
