Chapter 14
The week passed by quickly and the day of the dance came upon the group. The entire group had broken off into couples, Blaise and Cat, of course, Draco and Gin, Emma and Matt, and Pansy and Spike. It was like freaking Valentine's Day with all of the romance in the air.
Shrieks of laughter floated down the girl's staircase. The boys looked up and rolled their eyes, the girls had spent the entire day in Gin's room getting ready for the ball.
In the Girl's Room
"You are such a dork." Gin shouted as she threw a pillow at Cat. The girls laughed as Cat fell off the bed.
"Ok, we are almost done you guys let's actually finish what we started." Pansy said as she stood up behind Emma. Pansy took some curlers out of Emma's hair. Cat stood up and walked to the vanity and pulled out her own curlers. Gin walked into her bathroom and waved her wand. Her burgundy hair twisted around and up held up by a clip with a few wisps of hair fell down framing her face. She smiled and walked out of the bathroom after putting on some black eye shadow and shiny lip gloss. She saw Cat had finished pulling out her curlers showing Gin that she had placed some dark green highlights throughout her hair. Cat had chosen to wear a dark green eye shadow that matched her highlights. Upon her head was a small crown. Pansy had spelled her hair and eyelashes to seem as if there were water droplets throughout it. She also wore blue eye shadow and had specs of blue paint on her cheeks. Pansy had a jeweled ring that went across her forehead and a blue jewel hung from it. Emma had curled her black hair and had it held back slightly with a headband of pink roses. She wore pink eye shadow and pink lip gloss.
"Well I got to say it girls we are gorgeous." The girls looked at each other and laughed at Gin's statement. They all moved towards the door and called out to the boys. The boys stood up from the couches and looked towards the stairs. Cat walked down first. Blaise's jaw dropped as Cat came into his view. She wore a toga style dress, which was in two layers. The bottom layer was black that did not cover her left shoulder and went down to right above her ankles. The second layer above the black was a see- through dark green material that wrapped around her chest and rested on the floor. Cat actually wore black short shorts underneath her dress for there was slits on both sides that cut through both materials and went up to mid- thigh. When her legs escaped the slits you could see that her shoes were black flats that laced over her feet with black and dark green material crossing one another up her calves. Cat walked over to Blaise and closed his mouth and planted a kiss on it. The kiss seemed to bring Blaise out of his trance.
"You look...look beautiful my dear Hera." Blaise stuttered. Cat laughed.
"You are not so bad yourself oh great Zeus." Blaise had cleaned up nicely. He wore a light yellow toga that went to his ankles and showed off half of his well toned chest, complimenting his tanned body. He had changed his hair so that it was sticking up in many directions in jagged forms; some of the hairs were died blonde to seem like lightning. He also wore yellow sandals on his feet.
"You really think so. I feel like a fucking pansy." Cat laughed and shook her head.
"Nah, you look fine, but if you had worn pink like Em or should I say Aphrodite, behind me I might have had to dump you." Everybody turned to see Emma walking down the stairs. She was wearing a long pink tank-top strapped floor length toga that had slits up to just past her knees. The material escaped from the straps of the dress and wrapped, slightly hanging off, around and down her arms. The dress had a white satin sash around the middle that matched her white sandals. She walked over to Matt or Hephaestus who was wearing a light brown toga that only covered one shoulder and went to his knees. He wore a pair of dusty brown sandals and a (FAKE) hammer in his white sash. They exchanged compliments then looked towards the stairs as Pansy came down next. She wore a dress that looked to be made out of different types of blue leafs, that crossed in front after wrapping around her neck and dropping to her knees leaving her back bare. She wore a pair of light blue sandals and the most amazing thing about her costume is that wings covered in small water droplets sprouted from her back. She was dressed as Amphitrite, a nymph. Spike who was dressed as Poseidon looked like he was drooling as she walked up to him. She laughed and looked at him. He had spiked his hair once again but had died the top blue. He wore a blue toga that enclosed one shoulder and dropped to his ankles barely showing his blue sandals. Then they all turned and gasped as Gin walked down the stairs. She wore a red vinyl collared top that kept her entire midriff bare and exposing quite a bit of chest and a vinyl black skirt that stopped about four inches above her knees. Her feet were clad in red boots that laced with black cords. Although that was not all, attached to her hips was a whip. She smirked and strolled over to Draco, who seemed to be in a daze. She snapped her fingers in front of his eyes and laughed as he shook his head, seemingly clearing out the cobwebs. Although when Gin got a good look at him she thought she would need to call a cleaning lady. There Draco stood wearing combat boots, tight leather pants and a leather vest showing off his chest. Draco gave off his own smirk as he snapped his fingers. He laughed as she too cleared her head.
"Welcome back from the other dimension." Draco stated laughing.
"Oh hush you." Gin growled and kissed him fiercely. She pulled away quickly and nipped his ear and whispered. "Tonight I am evil and you will not mess with me." She then again harshly kissed him. He picked her up wrapping her legs around his waist and smacked her butt. She gasped and he dropped to her neck.
"I don't take orders. I am Ares god of war am I not?" He whispered and bit her neck. She once again gasped but then noticed her weakness. She drew her fingernails across his chest as she slowly leaned back out of his reach. He hissed but she took no heed. She adjusted his arms and jumped to the floor. She grabbed his neck and pulled him down for a quick tantalizing kiss. She heard his intake of breath when she smacked his butt and smirked.
"You will take orders if they are from me." She slightly glanced at the whip on her side and grinned. "Or else you will be punished." He grinned and grabbed her to him.
"That just makes me want to disobey more." She grinned and leaned in...
"Stop it you guys we want to go to the dance." Cat yelled at the pair. They looked up and smirked. Together. Which came off as a menacing sight but the group didn't care.
"Yeah come on. Make out later. Dance now." Emma stated walking with the others to the door. They all headed down to the Great Hall and were amazed when they entered. The ceiling looked as if a thunderstorm was occurring and occasionally lightning flashed across. Pumpkins floated through the air holding candles inside and offered light to the room. The long tables were gone and replaced with tables for 8 set around the wall. The teachers table was still in front of the room but in front of the table there was a small stage holding a large amount of music equipment that was blasting out muggle music. The girls dragged their dates out to the floor to dance to the song, Move Ya Body. The crowd of students turned their heads as the new comers came out on the dance floor and stared, watching them move to the music. The couples were grinding and twisting and rubbing up against each other. As the song stopped a yell could be heard across the hall. The couples turned to look and they saw Ronald Weasley and co. racing towards them. Gin groaned. She couldn't believe he was bothering her now. She hadn't talked to him since the beginning of the year.
"Ginevra Weasley what are you doing and dressed like that?" Ron shouted as he neared Gin and Draco.
"I am dancing with my boyfriend while wearing my costume as this is a costume ball."
"What kind of costume is that?" Harry Potter droned.
"It is the kind you wear you ass what kind do you think it is?"
"No he meant who are you dressed as?" Hermione stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh shut up you know it all I know what he was talking about. By the way I am Eris, goddess of chaos and discord. Happy? Now leave me alone." Gin growled as she stepped in front of Draco facing the trio, hatred flowing from her eyes. The trio stepped back and turned. They walked away but not before they heard Harry mutter something about Gin, a hooker and bitch under his breath. Draco jumped but Gin held him back.
"Hey Potter." He turned as did the other two. She slammed her fist into his stomach and he bent over. Hermione and Harry rushed to his side
"Don't ever talk to me again if you know what is good for you." She said as she furiously strode out of the hall. Draco followed her telling the rest of the group to stay. He found her by the lake sitting on a rock. He sat beside her and drew her to his side. He heard her sigh and turn into him more.
"What is his problem?"
"He is just a stupid ass Gin, nothing to it." Gin laughed as Draco smiled. She slightly smacked him on the arm.
"But he is supposed to be the savior for the wizarding world yet he insults those on the side for good. And my brother supports him. My own brother, the one who is supposed to protect me, believes some guy over his own sister, his own blood. Actually my whole family will listen to Harry before me." Gin huffed as small tears fell down her cheeks. Draco saw and reached to wipe them.
"Gin your brother has been friends with Potter for years now and he doesn't think that he can be betrayed by him."
"But he has been my brother for twice that amount of time Harry was his friend."
"Yeah but you're his sister, not his friend. It might have been different if you were his younger brother, but you aren't. He probably can't understand you or feel like he can get close to you."
"When we were little he was my best friend. He played with me and protected me from my other brothers, but when he went off to school it all changed. I mean when he came home after his first year I became invisible, like he was too good for me. He was always hanging out with Harry and Hermione. I was just in the way. I mean he didn't even notice that I was in trouble the first year until he heard I was trapped."
"But then he raced off to save you not wanting to hear about the consequences. He loves you Gin, but he doesn't want to think that someone as close to him as Potter could hurt his own sister."
"He is right you know." Gin gasped as she turned around and saw her brother. "I do love you will all my heart." Gin jumped up and ran into Ron's arms crying. "Gin I don't want to lose you that is all. I thought I was protecting you by just keeping you around Harry and Hermione and me but just a far enough so you wouldn't get into all our stupid adventures. I didn't want to see you hurt."
"But I did get hurt, not just with the chamber but by you. I mean you wouldn't let me have my own friends or let me get close to you. I thought you didn't care about me." Gin stated, more tears falling from her eyes. Ron stopped hugging her for a moment and wiped her cheeks.
"I do care. And I will listen to what ever you want to tell me tonight."
"Really?" Gin asked smiling. Ron nodded. Gin jumped into his arms again. Draco coughed. The two turned and looked towards him.
"I'll just be going now, ok?" Draco said as he gave Gin a quick kiss on the cheek.
"But Draco..."
"No you talk to your brother real quick, I will see you in a bit and you can make it up to me with a dance. Ok?" Gin smiled and nodded as Draco trudged up the lawn again and into the castle.
"He really has changed." Ron said as he also watched Draco leave.
"Yeah he has. Well let's get to talking so we can go back in." Gin started off telling him about how she missed him, how she loved him, what happened with the chamber, and what happened with Harry. Ron's furry grew when he heard how his best friend betrayed his trust and his little sister. "Ron, it is over. I took care of it and then Draco heard about it and he took care of it. Stupid git, so Harry has gotten his just desserts. That means I don't want you to go beat him into a bloody pulp."
"What do you mean Malfoy took care of it? I thought you said it happened quite a while back, before this year, and you weren't talking to Malfoy then were you?"
"His name is Draco. And no I wasn't talking to him then although I was best friends with Blaise Zabini. Um...Draco heard about it from Blaise this year and gave Harry a black eye."
"That was from Mal- I mean Draco. Harry said it was some accident. I should have known he had got it the same day Draco had talked to him. Are you sure about Draco?"
"Yeah I am. He is great to me. We fight a lot but I guess it makes the relationship interesting. And he really cares for me."
"Yeah, ok. Well now that we have talked for awhile you want to go back to the dance?"
"Let's." Ron stood and offered Gin his arm. Gin laughed but took it. They made their way to the castle. Ron walked her towards Draco. As he reached Draco he stuck out his hand. Draco looked at it, then smiled and shook his hand. He transferred Gin hand into Draco's.
"Take care of her." He said before he walked back over to Hermione who was standing near Blaise and Cat.
"Thanks Draco for letting me talk to him."
"It is ok, although you missed a great scene. When I came back I asked Blaise what happened after we left he told me that Harry got really angry and was yelling at everybody. He even yelled at Hermione. She was shocked then slapped him hard. Harry got mad and raised his arm. Mind you this is after Ron left too, Blaise stepped in between the two and grabbed his arm and twisted it. Blaise then scolded him, talking about how he should never yell at a lady, or raise a hand at one. Harry got mad and raced out with two teachers behind him. Hermione just threw herself on Blaise thanking him so much. Then Cat came over, interrogating Hermione. Kept asking her why she was all over her boyfriend. Hermione was startled. Blaise had to calm Cat down and explain since Cat had sort of followed Ron to make sure he wasn't going to beat us up. Cat then accepted Hermione and now they can't stop talking about some type of subject, boring Blaise out of his mind. He seemed really glad to talk to me."
"Well I took you away from him but he gets to talk to Ron." Gin said pointing over to where it seemed as if Blaise was retelling the story. Gin saw Ron was pretty angry and was holding Hermione close to him. Ron anger seemed to calm down and he threw out a hand towards Blaise. Blaise too it, then went back to the story while Hermione and Cat seemed to be arguing over something.
"I didn't know Cat was so into school."
"Well yes, but she is ten times worse with music. Actually her and Emma get pretty scary sometimes with all there arguments, although Spike and I join in every now and then and make a big debate out of it. It can be really fun on occasion." Gin smiled as she remembered some of their arguments. Draco watched as his girlfriend stared of into space. His girlfriend, he was so happy at that thought. He drew Gin close and kissed her forehead. She smiled up at him and they started to dance again. They danced and hung out the entire night with friends. They eventually were all heading back when the group was approached by Dumbledore. He brought Gin aside and whispered something in her ear. She smiled. She then led her group plus Ron and Hermione, who were also slowly becoming a part of the group, to their common room. Ron and Hermione gasped as they entered the private house. "Um guys you should sit down, because I need to tell you something." Ron and Hermione sat down as did the rest of the group but Gin, who stood in front of Ron and Hermione. "Ok I am a part of a secret force that is in training to beat Voldermont." No one flinched, as Dumbledore had drilled it into the school's mind that it was just a name. Ron and Hermione stared at her as if she were crazy. Draco stood up and walked over to Gin.
"It is true. We are all a part of it. We are the Wild Cats or W.C."
"We even have a mascot." Cat stated as she whistled. Liberty emerged from the shadows. Hermione shrieked. "Calm down she is cool." Cat said as she scratched Liberty's ears.
"Wow that is some news." Ron said as he watched Cat. "How did you get picked? I mean out of all the schools, why were you the only ones?"
"Well Pansy, Matt, Blaise, and I got it because we wanted to become spies." Draco declared.
"Spike, Emma, and I just kind of got picked. We probably were the best of everything. I mean I am really good at lots of different types of fighting, plus I got the background. Emma is probably the smartest girl in our school. Spike, what is so great about you?" Cat smirked; Spike frowned and threw a pillow at Cat. She laughed and everybody joined her.
"They just picked us Cat, nothing special." Spike spoke.
"Actually I think it did have to do with our backgrounds and how we all excelled in our classes. We also never backed down, and we always could protect ourselves." Emma said.
"Yeah I guess you are right." Cat stated.
"What about you Gin?" Ron asked.
"Dumbledore approached me about it. I was the only one that was reading everything I could get my hands on, asking Dumbledore to help me learn about the Dark Side. I just ate up the information and was always starving for more. America helped me cure my hunger, well most of it."
"Can we join?" Hermione finally spoke up. The group turned to look at her, and then looked at each other.
"I am not sure. We would have to ask Dumbledore, but Harry is not aloud."
"Of course."
"Well we will go talk to Dumbledore." Draco spoke and pulled Gin out of the portrait.
"They are probably going to go snog, then ask, then snog some more."
"Shut up Cat!" Everyone shouted throwing pillows at her laughing.
Out in the Hallway
"Couldn't do it alone, Malfoy?" Gin smirked. Draco turned towards her with his own smirk.
"Well I wasn't about to let you walk through the hallways alone dressed like that."
"I can take care of myself mister." Gin said as she poked him in the chest with a hand on her hip. Draco grabbed her hand and pushed her against a wall, leaning against her.
"But wouldn't you rather me take of you?" Draco smirked as he kissed her neck.
"Draco?" Gin groaned as she felt Draco nip at her neck. "Draco stop...we...we need...oh my...Draco?"
"Yes?" Draco asked in a husky voice, not stopping his administrations to Gin's neck. She groaned again slightly pushing against his chest. He gasped and backed away from Gin as she came into contact with his bare skin. She smirked and turned and slammed him against the wall.
"My turn." She responded into his ear as she stood on her tip-e-toes. She gently kissed down his neck and licked at the small spot where his neck smoothed out. He gasped as she bit into his skin, all the while running her fingers over his chest.
"Gin you...you got to...stop...or I won't...be able... able...to." Draco stuttered. Gin drew back.
"Who knew little Ginevra could make big bad Draco tremble?" She laughed.
"Why you..." Draco growled and pulled Gin in for a long passionate kiss. They stopped as they heard a cough from behind them.
"I thought you might want to see me." Dumbledore announced with the familiar twinkle in his eye. Gin blushed while Draco just smirked and spoke.
"Yes sir, we were wondering if we could have Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger join us."
"Oh, well let me go talk to them. You can stay here if you want." Dumbledore said, his twinkle becoming brighter by the second. Draco smirked and nodded, as Gin blushed once again. Dumbledore stepped through the portrait and out of sight. Draco turned towards Gin pushing her against the wall, leaning down and placing his lips upon hers, bringing small moans of delight as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. He backed away about a centimeter.
"Who knew Dumbledore was so trusting?" Draco whispered against Gin's lips. She smiled, pulling him down for another kiss. A minute later they came up for air and Gin spoke up.
"I'm kind of glad." She grinned at Draco.
"You will be the death of me woman." Draco growled pulling her head upwards; she grinned and slightly pulled back. Draco groaned and Gin laughed.
"I believe I will." She said as she escaped his grasp and headed for the portrait. He growled and leapt after, she laughed as she raced through the portrait. He raced through the portrait after her shouting.
"I'll get you." He grabbed her as she stopped at the couches, swinging her around.
"Draco, put me down." Gin shrieked.
"Nope."
"Draco!"
"No."
"Draco..."
"Mr. Malfoy, if you won't put her down would the two of you at least sit down." Dumbledore stated. Draco nodded and Gin laughed as he dropped onto a couch with her still in his arms. Everyone looked back at Dumbledore as he continued to talk. "Well, Hermione and Ron have joined. I will back tomorrow to build them rooms."
"Goodnight." The group called. Draco stood up with Gin still in his arms.
"Hey Ron, you and Hermione can share Gin's bed tonight. She won't be using it."
"What?" Gin shrieked.
"Well as long as you just sleep, I am sure she will let you use it."
"Draco!" Gin shrieked as he carried her up the stairs. Everybody laughed as Draco bid them goodnight. Gin started to kick and punch so Draco threw her over his shoulder into a fireman hold. He smacked her butt.
"You might want to hold still or we are both going down these stairs." Gin held still but once he closed the door to his bedroom she started to kick and punch once again. Draco laughed and threw her on the bed. "What is wrong Gin?"
"You basically kidnapped me in front of my brother, who didn't do anything, and brought me up here to do merlin-knows-what. And mind you I am not doing anything." Gin stated crossing her arms as she sat up. He laughed and pushed her back against the bed. He kissed her but she stayed unresponsive. "I told you I am not doing ..." He kissed her before she could finish her sentence. She moaned and uncrossed her arms, wrapping them around his neck, bringing him closer. She pulled back. "Maybe I'll do a little." Draco grinned and kissed her again. She pulled back again. "But I am not..."
"Gin calm down we are not going to sleep together, well at least not the active type of sleep." Gin blushed and Draco laughed. He kissed her colored cheeks and then kissed her lips. "I say we get changed and go to bed. You?"
"I agree, I am pretty tired, and I don't think sleeping in vinyl is very comfortable."
"I would sure enjoy it." Draco winked. Gin slightly slapped him no the arm.
"Can I have a shirt of yours?" Draco stood and walked over to a door. He opened it and revealed a closet. While he was away Gin looked around his room. The bed was placed in the middle of the room. There was a desk across from it and a door to either side of it. One was the closet; the other was supposedly the bathroom. To the left of the closet was a stairway. Gin stared at it but she turned her gaze to Draco as he reappeared with a shirt in one hand and something in the other. He tossed her the black shirt.
"Here you go. You can change in the bathroom." A few minutes later Gin came out of the bathroom. Draco's breath caught in his throat as his eyes ran from the floor to the top of her head. The shirt was very large on her and went just past her knees. Her hair was a bit of a mess but made her look even more beautiful. She also looked so at home with no make-up and just leaning against the doorway. He stood up and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her. "You look gorgeous." He said giving her a small kiss.
"Not so bad yourself, actually not bad at all." She laughed as she looked him up and down. He had changed into some black pajama pants, but that was all, leaving his chest bare, showing off taunt muscles and a six pack that was starting to make Gin drool. "Um...where does this stairway go?" She said walking over to the stairway in the corner.
"I'll show you." He said grabbing her hand hands pulling her up the stairs. She smiled and followed him up. She gasped as they reached the end and arrived on a balcony showing off the night sky.
"Can't people see this?"
"Magic." He said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind as she leaned against the railing. She smiled and leaned back against him.
"I love the night sky."
"Well you are welcome to come here at any time."
"Thanks." She said kissing him on the cheek.
"Come on let's go to bed."
"Okey-dokey." He chuckled as he led her back down the stairs. He picked her up at the bottom and threw her on the bed. She laughed as he jumped on top of her and kissed her all over. Finally he kissed her on the lips and the two slowed down. He pulled back and looked at her. He ran a finger down her cheek.
"Merlin you are beautiful." She giggled.
"Thanks, so are you. I mean..." He stopped her with a small kiss.
"It's cool. Let's just go to sleep. Ok?" Gin nodded. He picked her up once again and pulled back the covers. He gently put her down then crawled in himself. He pulled her to him and snuggled his nose into her neck. She giggled and got close to him as she slowly closed her eyes. Draco watched Gin and smiled. "Merlin, Gin look what you have done to me? You have turned me into a softy. You changed me...for the better. Thank you." Draco stated closing his eyes for a restful night of sleep.
"Your welcome." Gin whispered.
A/N - Hey review please, I know it got really sappy but I thought it worked, but tell me if it didn't.
The week passed by quickly and the day of the dance came upon the group. The entire group had broken off into couples, Blaise and Cat, of course, Draco and Gin, Emma and Matt, and Pansy and Spike. It was like freaking Valentine's Day with all of the romance in the air.
Shrieks of laughter floated down the girl's staircase. The boys looked up and rolled their eyes, the girls had spent the entire day in Gin's room getting ready for the ball.
In the Girl's Room
"You are such a dork." Gin shouted as she threw a pillow at Cat. The girls laughed as Cat fell off the bed.
"Ok, we are almost done you guys let's actually finish what we started." Pansy said as she stood up behind Emma. Pansy took some curlers out of Emma's hair. Cat stood up and walked to the vanity and pulled out her own curlers. Gin walked into her bathroom and waved her wand. Her burgundy hair twisted around and up held up by a clip with a few wisps of hair fell down framing her face. She smiled and walked out of the bathroom after putting on some black eye shadow and shiny lip gloss. She saw Cat had finished pulling out her curlers showing Gin that she had placed some dark green highlights throughout her hair. Cat had chosen to wear a dark green eye shadow that matched her highlights. Upon her head was a small crown. Pansy had spelled her hair and eyelashes to seem as if there were water droplets throughout it. She also wore blue eye shadow and had specs of blue paint on her cheeks. Pansy had a jeweled ring that went across her forehead and a blue jewel hung from it. Emma had curled her black hair and had it held back slightly with a headband of pink roses. She wore pink eye shadow and pink lip gloss.
"Well I got to say it girls we are gorgeous." The girls looked at each other and laughed at Gin's statement. They all moved towards the door and called out to the boys. The boys stood up from the couches and looked towards the stairs. Cat walked down first. Blaise's jaw dropped as Cat came into his view. She wore a toga style dress, which was in two layers. The bottom layer was black that did not cover her left shoulder and went down to right above her ankles. The second layer above the black was a see- through dark green material that wrapped around her chest and rested on the floor. Cat actually wore black short shorts underneath her dress for there was slits on both sides that cut through both materials and went up to mid- thigh. When her legs escaped the slits you could see that her shoes were black flats that laced over her feet with black and dark green material crossing one another up her calves. Cat walked over to Blaise and closed his mouth and planted a kiss on it. The kiss seemed to bring Blaise out of his trance.
"You look...look beautiful my dear Hera." Blaise stuttered. Cat laughed.
"You are not so bad yourself oh great Zeus." Blaise had cleaned up nicely. He wore a light yellow toga that went to his ankles and showed off half of his well toned chest, complimenting his tanned body. He had changed his hair so that it was sticking up in many directions in jagged forms; some of the hairs were died blonde to seem like lightning. He also wore yellow sandals on his feet.
"You really think so. I feel like a fucking pansy." Cat laughed and shook her head.
"Nah, you look fine, but if you had worn pink like Em or should I say Aphrodite, behind me I might have had to dump you." Everybody turned to see Emma walking down the stairs. She was wearing a long pink tank-top strapped floor length toga that had slits up to just past her knees. The material escaped from the straps of the dress and wrapped, slightly hanging off, around and down her arms. The dress had a white satin sash around the middle that matched her white sandals. She walked over to Matt or Hephaestus who was wearing a light brown toga that only covered one shoulder and went to his knees. He wore a pair of dusty brown sandals and a (FAKE) hammer in his white sash. They exchanged compliments then looked towards the stairs as Pansy came down next. She wore a dress that looked to be made out of different types of blue leafs, that crossed in front after wrapping around her neck and dropping to her knees leaving her back bare. She wore a pair of light blue sandals and the most amazing thing about her costume is that wings covered in small water droplets sprouted from her back. She was dressed as Amphitrite, a nymph.

He wore a blue toga that enclosed one shoulder and dropped to his ankles barely showing his blue sandals. Then they all turned and gasped as Gin walked down the stairs. She wore a red vinyl collared top that kept her entire midriff bare and exposing quite a bit of chest and a vinyl black skirt that stopped about four inches above her knees. Her feet were clad in red boots that laced with black cords. Although that was not all, attached to her hips was a whip. She smirked and strolled over to Draco, who seemed to be in a daze. She snapped her fingers in front of his eyes and laughed as he shook his head, seemingly clearing out the cobwebs. Although when Gin got a good look at him she thought she would need to call a cleaning lady. There Draco stood wearing combat boots, tight leather pants and a leather vest showing off his chest. Draco gave off his own smirk as he snapped his fingers. He laughed as she too cleared her head.
"Welcome back from the other dimension." Draco stated laughing.
"Oh hush you." Gin growled and kissed him fiercely. She pulled away quickly and nipped his ear and whispered. "Tonight I am evil and you will not mess with me." She then again harshly kissed him. He picked her up wrapping her legs around his waist and smacked her butt. She gasped and he dropped to her neck.
"I don't take orders. I am Ares god of war am I not?" He whispered and bit her neck. She once again gasped but then noticed her weakness.

"That just makes me want to disobey more." She grinned and leaned in...
"Stop it you guys we want to go to the dance." Cat yelled at the pair. They looked up and smirked. Together. Which came off as a menacing sight but the group didn't care.
"Yeah come on. Make out later. Dance now." Emma stated walking with the others to the door. They all headed down to the Great Hall and were amazed when they entered. The ceiling looked as if a thunderstorm was occurring and occasionally lightning flashed across. Pumpkins floated through the air holding candles inside and offered light to the room. The long tables were gone and replaced with tables for 8 set around the wall. The teachers table was still in front of the room but in front of the table there was a small stage holding a large amount of music equipment that was blasting out muggle music. The girls dragged their dates out to the floor to dance to the song, Move Ya Body. The crowd of students turned their heads as the new comers came out on the dance floor and stared, watching them move to the music. The couples were grinding and twisting and rubbing up against each other. As the song stopped a yell could be heard across the hall. The couples turned to look and they saw Ronald Weasley and co. racing towards them. Gin groaned. She couldn't believe he was bothering her now. She hadn't talked to him since the beginning of the year.
"Ginevra Weasley what are you doing and dressed like that?" Ron shouted as he neared Gin and Draco.
"I am dancing with my boyfriend while wearing my costume as this is a costume ball."
"What kind of costume is that?" Harry Potter droned.
"It is the kind you wear you ass what kind do you think it is?"
"No he meant who are you dressed as?" Hermione stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh shut up you know it all I know what he was talking about. By the way I am Eris, goddess of chaos and discord. Happy? Now leave me alone." Gin growled as she stepped in front of Draco facing the trio, hatred flowing from her eyes. The trio stepped back and turned. They walked away but not before they heard Harry mutter something about Gin, a hooker and bitch under his breath. Draco jumped but Gin held him back.
"Hey Potter." He turned as did the other two. She slammed her fist into his stomach and he bent over. Hermione and Harry rushed to his side
"Don't ever talk to me again if you know what is good for you." She said as she furiously strode out of the hall. Draco followed her telling the rest of the group to stay. He found her by the lake sitting on a rock. He sat beside her and drew her to his side. He heard her sigh and turn into him more.
"What is his problem?"
"He is just a stupid ass Gin, nothing to it." Gin laughed as Draco smiled. She slightly smacked him on the arm.
"But he is supposed to be the savior for the wizarding world yet he insults those on the side for good. And my brother supports him. My own brother, the one who is supposed to protect me, believes some guy over his own sister, his own blood. Actually my whole family will listen to Harry before me." Gin huffed as small tears fell down her cheeks. Draco saw and reached to wipe them.
"Gin your brother has been friends with Potter for years now and he doesn't think that he can be betrayed by him."
"But he has been my brother for twice that amount of time Harry was his friend."
"Yeah but you're his sister, not his friend. It might have been different if you were his younger brother, but you aren't. He probably can't understand you or feel like he can get close to you."
"When we were little he was my best friend. He played with me and protected me from my other brothers, but when he went off to school it all changed. I mean when he came home after his first year I became invisible, like he was too good for me. He was always hanging out with Harry and Hermione. I was just in the way. I mean he didn't even notice that I was in trouble the first year until he heard I was trapped."
"But then he raced off to save you not wanting to hear about the consequences. He loves you Gin, but he doesn't want to think that someone as close to him as Potter could hurt his own sister."
"He is right you know." Gin gasped as she turned around and saw her brother. "I do love you will all my heart." Gin jumped up and ran into Ron's arms crying. "Gin I don't want to lose you that is all. I thought I was protecting you by just keeping you around Harry and Hermione and me but just a far enough so you wouldn't get into all our stupid adventures. I didn't want to see you hurt."
"But I did get hurt, not just with the chamber but by you. I mean you wouldn't let me have my own friends or let me get close to you. I thought you didn't care about me." Gin stated, more tears falling from her eyes. Ron stopped hugging her for a moment and wiped her cheeks.
"I do care. And I will listen to what ever you want to tell me tonight."
"Really?" Gin asked smiling. Ron nodded. Gin jumped into his arms again. Draco coughed. The two turned and looked towards him.
"I'll just be going now, ok?" Draco said as he gave Gin a quick kiss on the cheek.
"But Draco..."
"No you talk to your brother real quick, I will see you in a bit and you can make it up to me with a dance. Ok?" Gin smiled and nodded as Draco trudged up the lawn again and into the castle.
"He really has changed." Ron said as he also watched Draco leave.
"Yeah he has. Well let's get to talking so we can go back in." Gin started off telling him about how she missed him, how she loved him, what happened with the chamber, and what happened with Harry. Ron's furry grew when he heard how his best friend betrayed his trust and his little sister. "Ron, it is over. I took care of it and then Draco heard about it and he took care of it. Stupid git, so Harry has gotten his just desserts. That means I don't want you to go beat him into a bloody pulp."
"What do you mean Malfoy took care of it? I thought you said it happened quite a while back, before this year, and you weren't talking to Malfoy then were you?"
"His name is Draco. And no I wasn't talking to him then although I was best friends with Blaise Zabini. Um...Draco heard about it from Blaise this year and gave Harry a black eye."
"That was from Mal- I mean Draco. Harry said it was some accident. I should have known he had got it the same day Draco had talked to him. Are you sure about Draco?"
"Yeah I am. He is great to me. We fight a lot but I guess it makes the relationship interesting. And he really cares for me."
"Yeah, ok. Well now that we have talked for awhile you want to go back to the dance?"
"Let's." Ron stood and offered Gin his arm. Gin laughed but took it. They made their way to the castle. Ron walked her towards Draco. As he reached Draco he stuck out his hand. Draco looked at it, then smiled and shook his hand. He transferred Gin hand into Draco's.
"Take care of her." He said before he walked back over to Hermione who was standing near Blaise and Cat.
"Thanks Draco for letting me talk to him."
"It is ok, although you missed a great scene. When I came back I asked Blaise what happened after we left he told me that Harry got really angry and was yelling at everybody. He even yelled at Hermione. She was shocked then slapped him hard. Harry got mad and raised his arm. Mind you this is after Ron left too, Blaise stepped in between the two and grabbed his arm and twisted it. Blaise then scolded him, talking about how he should never yell at a lady, or raise a hand at one. Harry got mad and raced out with two teachers behind him. Hermione just threw herself on Blaise thanking him so much. Then Cat came over, interrogating Hermione. Kept asking her why she was all over her boyfriend. Hermione was startled. Blaise had to calm Cat down and explain since Cat had sort of followed Ron to make sure he wasn't going to beat us up. Cat then accepted Hermione and now they can't stop talking about some type of subject, boring Blaise out of his mind. He seemed really glad to talk to me."
"Well I took you away from him but he gets to talk to Ron." Gin said pointing over to where it seemed as if Blaise was retelling the story. Gin saw Ron was pretty angry and was holding Hermione close to him. Ron anger seemed to calm down and he threw out a hand towards Blaise. Blaise too it, then went back to the story while Hermione and Cat seemed to be arguing over something.
"I didn't know Cat was so into school."
"Well yes, but she is ten times worse with music. Actually her and Emma get pretty scary sometimes with all there arguments, although Spike and I join in every now and then and make a big debate out of it. It can be really fun on occasion." Gin smiled as she remembered some of their arguments. Draco watched as his girlfriend stared of into space. His girlfriend, he was so happy at that thought. He drew Gin close and kissed her forehead. She smiled up at him and they started to dance again. They danced and hung out the entire night with friends. They eventually were all heading back when the group was approached by Dumbledore. He brought Gin aside and whispered something in her ear. She smiled. She then led her group plus Ron and Hermione, who were also slowly becoming a part of the group, to their common room. Ron and Hermione gasped as they entered the private house. "Um guys you should sit down, because I need to tell you something." Ron and Hermione sat down as did the rest of the group but Gin, who stood in front of Ron and Hermione. "Ok I am a part of a secret force that is in training to beat Voldermont." No one flinched, as Dumbledore had drilled it into the school's mind that it was just a name. Ron and Hermione stared at her as if she were crazy. Draco stood up and walked over to Gin.
"It is true. We are all a part of it. We are the Wild Cats or W.C."
"We even have a mascot." Cat stated as she whistled. Liberty emerged from the shadows. Hermione shrieked. "Calm down she is cool." Cat said as she scratched Liberty's ears.
"Wow that is some news." Ron said as he watched Cat. "How did you get picked? I mean out of all the schools, why were you the only ones?"
"Well Pansy, Matt, Blaise, and I got it because we wanted to become spies." Draco declared.
"Spike, Emma, and I just kind of got picked. We probably were the best of everything. I mean I am really good at lots of different types of fighting, plus I got the background. Emma is probably the smartest girl in our school. Spike, what is so great about you?" Cat smirked; Spike frowned and threw a pillow at Cat. She laughed and everybody joined her.
"They just picked us Cat, nothing special." Spike spoke.
"Actually I think it did have to do with our backgrounds and how we all excelled in our classes. We also never backed down, and we always could protect ourselves." Emma said.
"Yeah I guess you are right." Cat stated.
"What about you Gin?" Ron asked.
"Dumbledore approached me about it. I was the only one that was reading everything I could get my hands on, asking Dumbledore to help me learn about the Dark Side. I just ate up the information and was always starving for more. America helped me cure my hunger, well most of it."
"Can we join?" Hermione finally spoke up. The group turned to look at her, and then looked at each other.
"I am not sure. We would have to ask Dumbledore, but Harry is not aloud."
"Of course."
"Well we will go talk to Dumbledore." Draco spoke and pulled Gin out of the portrait.
"They are probably going to go snog, then ask, then snog some more."
"Shut up Cat!" Everyone shouted throwing pillows at her laughing.
Out in the Hallway
"Couldn't do it alone, Malfoy?" Gin smirked. Draco turned towards her with his own smirk.
"Well I wasn't about to let you walk through the hallways alone dressed like that."
"I can take care of myself mister." Gin said as she poked him in the chest with a hand on her hip. Draco grabbed her hand and pushed her against a wall, leaning against her.
"But wouldn't you rather me take of you?" Draco smirked as he kissed her neck.
"Draco?" Gin groaned as she felt Draco nip at her neck. "Draco stop...we...we need...oh my...Draco?"
"Yes?" Draco asked in a husky voice, not stopping his administrations to Gin's neck. She groaned again slightly pushing against his chest. He gasped and backed away from Gin as she came into contact with his bare skin. She smirked and turned and slammed him against the wall.
"My turn." She responded into his ear as she stood on her tip-e-toes. She gently kissed down his neck and licked at the small spot where his neck smoothed out. He gasped as she bit into his skin, all the while running her fingers over his chest.
"Gin you...you got to...stop...or I won't...be able... able...to." Draco stuttered. Gin drew back.
"Who knew little Ginevra could make big bad Draco tremble?" She laughed.
"Why you..." Draco growled and pulled Gin in for a long passionate kiss. They stopped as they heard a cough from behind them.
"I thought you might want to see me." Dumbledore announced with the familiar twinkle in his eye. Gin blushed while Draco just smirked and spoke.
"Yes sir, we were wondering if we could have Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger join us."
"Oh, well let me go talk to them. You can stay here if you want." Dumbledore said, his twinkle becoming brighter by the second. Draco smirked and nodded, as Gin blushed once again. Dumbledore stepped through the portrait and out of sight. Draco turned towards Gin pushing her against the wall, leaning down and placing his lips upon hers, bringing small moans of delight as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. He backed away about a centimeter.
"Who knew Dumbledore was so trusting?" Draco whispered against Gin's lips. She smiled, pulling him down for another kiss. A minute later they came up for air and Gin spoke up.
"I'm kind of glad." She grinned at Draco.
"You will be the death of me woman." Draco growled pulling her head upwards; she grinned and slightly pulled back. Draco groaned and Gin laughed.
"I believe I will." She said as she escaped his grasp and headed for the portrait. He growled and leapt after, she laughed as she raced through the portrait. He raced through the portrait after her shouting.
"I'll get you." He grabbed her as she stopped at the couches, swinging her around.
"Draco, put me down." Gin shrieked.
"Nope."
"Draco!"
"No."
"Draco..."
"Mr. Malfoy, if you won't put her down would the two of you at least sit down." Dumbledore stated. Draco nodded and Gin laughed as he dropped onto a couch with her still in his arms. Everyone looked back at Dumbledore as he continued to talk. "Well, Hermione and Ron have joined. I will back tomorrow to build them rooms."
"Goodnight." The group called. Draco stood up with Gin still in his arms.
"Hey Ron, you and Hermione can share Gin's bed tonight. She won't be using it."
"What?" Gin shrieked.
"Well as long as you just sleep, I am sure she will let you use it."
"Draco!" Gin shrieked as he carried her up the stairs. Everybody laughed as Draco bid them goodnight. Gin started to kick and punch so Draco threw her over his shoulder into a fireman hold. He smacked her butt.
"You might want to hold still or we are both going down these stairs." Gin held still but once he closed the door to his bedroom she started to kick and punch once again. Draco laughed and threw her on the bed. "What is wrong Gin?"
"You basically kidnapped me in front of my brother, who didn't do anything, and brought me up here to do merlin-knows-what. And mind you I am not doing anything." Gin stated crossing her arms as she sat up. He laughed and pushed her back against the bed. He kissed her but she stayed unresponsive. "I told you I am not doing ..." He kissed her before she could finish her sentence. She moaned and uncrossed her arms, wrapping them around his neck, bringing him closer. She pulled back. "Maybe I'll do a little." Draco grinned and kissed her again. She pulled back again. "But I am not..."
"Gin calm down we are not going to sleep together, well at least not the active type of sleep." Gin blushed and Draco laughed. He kissed her colored cheeks and then kissed her lips. "I say we get changed and go to bed. You?"
"I agree, I am pretty tired, and I don't think sleeping in vinyl is very comfortable."
"I would sure enjoy it." Draco winked. Gin slightly slapped him no the arm.
"Can I have a shirt of yours?" Draco stood and walked over to a door. He opened it and revealed a closet. While he was away Gin looked around his room. The bed was placed in the middle of the room. There was a desk across from it and a door to either side of it. One was the closet; the other was supposedly the bathroom. To the left of the closet was a stairway. Gin stared at it but she turned her gaze to Draco as he reappeared with a shirt in one hand and something in the other. He tossed her the black shirt.
"Here you go. You can change in the bathroom." A few minutes later Gin came out of the bathroom. Draco's breath caught in his throat as his eyes ran from the floor to the top of her head. The shirt was very large on her and went just past her knees. Her hair was a bit of a mess but made her look even more beautiful. She also looked so at home with no make-up and just leaning against the doorway. He stood up and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her. "You look gorgeous." He said giving her a small kiss.
"Not so bad yourself, actually not bad at all." She laughed as she looked him up and down. He had changed into some black pajama pants, but that was all, leaving his chest bare, showing off taunt muscles and a six pack that was starting to make Gin drool. "Um...where does this stairway go?" She said walking over to the stairway in the corner.
"I'll show you." He said grabbing her hand hands pulling her up the stairs. She smiled and followed him up. She gasped as they reached the end and arrived on a balcony showing off the night sky.
"Can't people see this?"
"Magic." He said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind as she leaned against the railing. She smiled and leaned back against him.
"I love the night sky."
"Well you are welcome to come here at any time."
"Thanks." She said kissing him on the cheek.
"Come on let's go to bed."
"Okey-dokey." He chuckled as he led her back down the stairs. He picked her up at the bottom and threw her on the bed. She laughed as he jumped on top of her and kissed her all over. Finally he kissed her on the lips and the two slowed down. He pulled back and looked at her. He ran a finger down her cheek.
"Merlin you are beautiful." She giggled.
"Thanks, so are you. I mean..." He stopped her with a small kiss.
"It's cool. Let's just go to sleep. Ok?" Gin nodded. He picked her up once again and pulled back the covers. He gently put her down then crawled in himself. He pulled her to him and snuggled his nose into her neck. She giggled and got close to him as she slowly closed her eyes. Draco watched Gin and smiled. "Merlin, Gin look what you have done to me? You have turned me into a softy. You changed me...for the better. Thank you." Draco stated closing his eyes for a restful night of sleep.
"Your welcome." Gin whispered.
