I don't own Harry Potter or any characters from Harry Potter.

(A/N Simone before you decide to correct me on some ones name make sure that I don't have an authors note that says I know that her name is Ginerva but have changed it to Virginia because I like that better. Thank you. Good day.)

Chapter 18: Kissing

Ginny was sitting at the table eating her breakfast with Harry and Ron when Draco walked in the Great Hall. She glanced cautiously at Ron and noticed he was turning red.

"Ron." Ginny said quietly as he got up from the table.

"I'll be right back." Ron replied walking towards Draco.

Ginny started to get up when Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her back into her seat.

"Let him go, he needs to have a talk with Malfoy." Harry told her.

"I thought he said he was going to deal with it." Ginny told him.

"He is dealing with it, right now he needs to do his brotherly duty." Harry told her grabbing a piece of bacon.

Ginny glanced over to Ron and Draco, happy to see Ron hadn't punched him yet.

"Well they aren't fighting at least." Ginny observed.

"Yeah, improvements already." Harry replied.

"Harry, are you okay with Draco and me, I know how much you don't like him." Ginny asked him.

"Ginny if you like him he must have something alright with him, I trust your judgment." Harry told her. "But if he hurts you, I will help Ron kill him."

"Oh, thanks." Ginny said with mock compassion.

"That went well." Ron said sarcastically as he sat back down.

"What did you say?" Ginny asked him suspiciously.

"Nothing too bad, not half as bad as what I said to Dean." Ron told her. "Don't worry I didn't scare him away."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco walked into the Great Hal and instantly spotted Ginny, surrounded by Harry and Ron.

"I'm guessing she told him." he said to himself as Ron started to walk towards him.

"We need to talk." Ron told Draco.

"You're not going to hit me are you?" Draco asked him backing up a little. "Because if so, I just want to be forewarned."

"Listen, I don't like the fact that my sister likes you. In fact if I could have my way she would hate your guts. However somehow she has fallen for you, and I won't stand in the way of that. However if you hurt her or ever make her cry I will kill you. I will make you so sorry that you hurt her that you will wish you had never met her. Got it?" Ron told him. "You will treat her with the upmost respect, you will not pressure her into things she doesn't want to do, and you will never cheat on her."

Ron was deadly serious when he said this, and his eyes were flashing.

"I don't want to hurt your sister, I don't want to disrespect pressure or cheat on her." Draco told him.

"Good because if you do, you will have 7 boys ready to take you out." Ron warned him.

"There are only six of you." Draco said confused.

"Six Weasley boys plus Potter." Ron said as he walked away.

Ginny was sitting on the roof staring at the stars. She had spent most of the day working on homework, which is usually how she spent her Sundays. She heard the door open behind her.

"I knew you were going to be up here." Draco said sitting beside her.

"So what did he say to you? Was he nice?" Ginny asked him.

"He didn't hit me, so yeah he was really nice." Draco replied.

"What did he say?" Ginny asked him.

"Just the usual hurt her I'll kill you." Draco replied. "You know the drill. How was it when you told them?"

"Not too bad. Ron exploded, which was expected. Hermione was fine with it and Harry trusts my judgment." Ginny replied.

"Potter was fine with it?" Draco asked shocked.

"I know, shocking." Ginny replied snuggling against his side.

"So did you ever wish upon your stars?" Draco asked her kissing her on the head.

"No, I'm saving them for when I really need them." Ginny replied. "Plus you gave me my wish."

"Really, same here." Draco replied as he tilted her head up to him and kissed her.

They heard the door to the roof open.

Draco sighed. "I won't ever get to make out with you will I? Draco whispered in her ear.

"Hey Harry." Ginny said looking past Draco to the boy who had just walked through the door.

"Ginny can I talk to Draco for a minute." Harry asked, using Draco's name for the first time.

"I'll go over there." Ginny said pointing to the opposite side of the roof.

"Listen, I realize we hadn't gotten along that well in the past." Harry started. "But I don't want to make this hard for Ginny, so I am hoping that we can call a truce."

"I don't want Ginny to be put in an awkward position either." Draco agreed.

"Truce?" Harry asked him sticking out his hand.

"Truce." Draco agreed shaking his hand.

"Okay well, I will leave you two alone. Don't do anything her brother would kill you for." Harry said smiling at him.

"Thanks Harry." Draco said.

"No problem." Harry said as he left the roof.

Draco walked over to Ginny wrapping his arms around her.

"What did Harry want?" Ginny asked him.

"To call a truce." Draco replied. "They must really love you."

"Why do you say that?" Ginny asked him.

"Because they are willing to put up with me." Draco replied kissing her again.

She kissed him back moving her hands up to the back of his neck. Draco wrapped his arms more securely around her, pulling her closer as his tongue explored her mouth for the first time. She tasted sweet like berries, he loved the taste of her.

Ginny had never kissed someone like that before, she had never had someone explore her mouth with their tongue. Ginny laughed.

"What?" Draco asked.

"It's nothing." Ginny said looking down blushing.

"Tell me." Draco said cupping her chin with his hand and lifting her head to look at her.

"It's just, no one has ever kissed me like that before." Ginny said blushing.

"Not even Dean?" Draco asked her smugly.

"Merlin no." Ginny said laughing.

"Good." Draco replied leaning down to kiss her again.

Ginny giggled again.

"Stop laughing you're going to give me a inferiority complex." Draco said.

"I'm sorry, it's just new to me." Ginny said smiling at him.

"Well you taste like berries." Draco said watching as she started to blush.

"I had blueberries for desert." Ginny said her cheeks slowly turning red.

"Oh, did I embarrass you?" Draco asked innocently.

"Shut up." Ginny said pushing him away from her as she turned around.

Draco wrapped his arms back around her, her back to him.

"Tell me a secret." he whispered in her ear.

"Being around you sends chills up my spine." Ginny replied quietly. "Your turn to tell me a secret."

"You make me a better person." he whispered back in her ear.

"That's nothing new." Ginny said smiling.

"It is to me." Draco told her.

"I want a different secret." Ginny told him.

"What do you want to know?" Draco asked her. "I'm an open book."

"What made you change your attitude?" Ginny asked him.

"What do you mean?"Draco asked.

"You have totally changed from last year to this year, and it isn't just because of me." Ginny told him. "I want to know why you changed so much.:

"I saw sides of my father I hadn't seen before this past summer. Truly evil and cruel. Then he told me that it was almost time for me to become a death eater. Too bad that by then I had already decided I could never be him." Draco told her, his voice sounding a little haunted.

"That really sucks." Ginny replied, not sure of what else to say.

"I'm not perfect and I realize that, but if I were to turn out like my father, I would hate myself. I don't want to hate myself." Draco told her.

"Who wants to be perfect anyway?" Ginny asked turning to him.

"Right." Draco said kissing her on the neck moving up to her ear.

"If you giggle," Draco warned whispering in her ear.

Ginny couldn't help it she giggled.

"I told you not to laugh." Draco whined.

"Well you shouldn't have that only made me want to." Ginny replied

"Really?" Draco asked giving her a devious look.

"No, it doesn't work like that." Ginny told him giving him a look. "My brother would kill you for the thought I know you just had. I'm tempted to kill you myself."

"That's not fair." Draco said. "You can't blame a guy for trying."

"Life isn't fair and I can blame you if I want." Ginny told him. "However it is late and I am tired, so I need to go to bed."

"Goodnight." Draco said kissing her one last time before they went their separate ways for the night.
