I don't own Harry Potter
The A/N is rated R, It's mostly me ranting about stupid reviews.
(A/N I wasn't going to write another chapter tonight but considering that I have some idiots leaving me stupid reviews I feel the need to address them therefore you get a new chapter.
Firstly I know that Ginny's full name is not Virginia, it is Ginerva, however I don't like that name so for the sake of my story I changed it, as the first A/N stated.
Secondly this is for the real dumb ass who mentioned Harry killing Voldie, guess what sherlock regardless of what it says in the books about who can kill Voldie or not I don't freaking care. Because it is my fanfic which means I can change whatever little facts I want. That's what writing a fanfic means. Because guess what dipship in the book Draco is an ass, however amazingly here he is actually a sweetheart, so next time you decided to be a fuckass don't be so stupid about it. Further more when did I mention anyone killing Voldie to begin with?
Don't get me wrong I don't mind reviews that critique me but don't be a dumb ass. Who fucking cares if Rowling has it in her story that only Harry can kill Voldie, if I want I can write a fanfic where Dobby kills Voldie and then takes over the world. In fact maybe in this facnfic Ginny will kill Voldie, what are you going to do about it? That's right you can't do anything, because it is my fanfic. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. I just can't stand people who try to be a smart ass, when in the end they just ending up looking like an ass.)
Chapter 19: Gred and Forge
It was the middle of November and getting steadily colder by the day. In fact they had already had a few dustings of snow. Ginny and Draco had kept their relationship pretty much a secret, neither one of them wanting to deal with the harassment they were bound to get from their own houses. They had continued to create potions of which Snape would collect and keep in his office. Ginny and Draco were wrapped up in their own little worlds most of the time, not noticing what was really going on around them. That is until one night at dinner when Dumbledore got up to make an announcement.
"Uhmen." Dumbledore cleared his throat as he got up to talk. "Everyone I have a grave announcement to make."
Most of the students turned their attention towards Dumbledore, wondering what he could be talking about.
"As all of you know, there has been a lot of chaos these past few years with the war with Voldermort." Dumbledore started, ignoring the gasps and sharp intakes of breath that usually followed after saying that name. "So far you have all been safe, but we have gained word that Voldermort has set his eyes on claiming Hogwarts. While you are here I can assure you that you are all safe. He can not harm you here, none the less we will be providing extra protection and stricter regulations. Also I am sad to inform you that once again Quidditch must be canceled for the year."
Dumbledore paused then waiting for the groans to die down before continuing. "Some of you remember what it was like a couple of years ago when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, some of those same rules will be put in effect now. You can not wonder the corridors alone, you must always have some one with you. There will be no going outside unless it is for a class. I'm sorry to say that everyone must stay in the castle as much as possible. The roof will also be off limits to all students." Dumbledore said this looking at Ginny.
Ginny however had forgotten all about Voldermort until Dumbledore had mentioned it. She had been so busy with Potions and Draco that somehow she had forgotten that a war was going on in the world outside of Hogwarts.
"Also we will be offering safe haven for any families that have students who go to Hogwarts." Dumbledore continued. Hogsmeade weekends have also been canceled."
Dumbledore paused again to wait for the groans to die down. "I know that this is an inconvenience to many of you, however we believe that your safety is more important than shopping."
With that said Dumbledore sat down. The Great Hall was buzzing, so many kids had just forgotten that there was a world outside of Hogwarts, forgotten about the fact that there was a war going on. Ginny felt like she was in a dream, if felt so surreal, how could she have forgotten about the biggest threat that her world had faced in a little bit over a decade. She felt so stupid.
Ginny glanced over at Draco to see how he was taking the news, and was shocked to see that he was actually comforting some of the Slytherin first years.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco's first concern was to talk to Ginny, he didn't know why he just wanted her to know that he cared for her. However as Head boy he had different duties to attend to, which included taking care of the scared first years. However he had to cut that short when Snape came up to him and told him to come to his office.
Once Draco reached his office he noticed that Ginny was sitting there and Professor Dumbledore and McGonagal were there also.
"Mr. Malfoy, please have a seat." Dumbledore said waving at the chair beside Ginny. "And please try not to look like you are going to be served detention."
"We need you two to start working on some specific potions." Snape started. "These are most difficult, way beyond 7th year."
"Why?" Ginny asked him.
"Ms. Weasley now is not the time for questions." Professor McGonagal answered her.
"Although we can not answer that, I need you to trust that it is very important that you dedicate yourselves to these potions." Dumbledore told them.
"We will." Draco told him.
"Good, Mr. Malfoy you can be dismissed." Snape told him. "Could you please send Mr. Weasley in though."
Ginny sat in Snape's office waiting for Ron, she was very uncomfortable. When Ron arrived she tried not to he too obvious in her happiness.
"I have something very exciting to tell you too." Dumbledore started to tell them. "Your brothers Fred and George will be arriving at the school tomorrow. The minute your mother heard that we were offering a safe haven for families of students she contacted them."
Ginny and Ron looked at each other and started to smile.
"The twins are going to be at Hogwarts." Ron said to her.
"Can you imagine how much fun that will be?" Ginny asked him.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, and Ron and Ginny instantly stopped talking. They were so excited they had forgotten taht htey were surrounded by three of their teachers.
"I just thought you would like to know that they are getting her at three, you are dismissed." Dumbldore replied. "Go finish your dinner."
Ginny and Ron walked back to the Great hall, talking excitedly about the fact that their twin brothers were going to be back at school with them.
"Erm, Ginny, you realize you are going to have to tell them about Malfoy righ?" Ron asked her.
"Yes I suppose I will." Ginny replied. "Could you not call him Draco?" she added as an afterthought.
"Ginny give me time." Ron reminded her. "I'm doing better."
"Okay." Ginny said smiling at him. "He's growing on you isn't he?"
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that." Ron replied as they entered the Great Hall.
"Ron I'm not hungry anymore, so I think I am just going to go ahead to bed." Ginny told him.
"Okay." Ron replied heading towards his table.
Ginny walked back out of the Great Hall, but she didn't go to Gryffindor tower, instead she waited right outside the door. A few minutes later Draco came waltzing out and turned to go up the stairs.
"I'm right here." Ginny spoke up behind him.
Draco turned around, he had been going to find her. He walked over to her and hugged her.
"I had forgotten about-" Draco started.
"I think everyone had." Ginny interrupted him, we can't stay right here, people will see us.
"Come on, we can go to my room." Draco replied taking her had and leading her towards the Dungeons.
"Did you see Dumbledore look at me when he mentioned the roof would be closed off?" Ginny asked him.
"Yeah, how does he know that stuff?" Draco asked mystified.
"What am I going to do? I love looking at the stars." Ginny asked.
"Well, actually I have a surprise for you. Since it was getting so cold." Draco said not completing the thought.
They entered his room, Ginny had never seen it before.
"Wow you head boys get really nice rooms." she commented looking around.
Draco's room had a big king size bed against one wall covered in a royal green comforter, a fireplace, and a sitting area complete with two chairs and a couch. On the opposite wall from them was a door which Ginny assumed led to his private bathroom.
"You haven't see the best part." Draco replied cutting out all the lights. "Come here."
He dragged her to his bed and pulled her on to it.
"Lay down, and look up." Draco told her, doing the same himself.
Ginny did as she was told and gasped. On his ceiling he had replicated the night sky, complete with an occasional shooting star.
"Oh my gosh Draco this is brillant." Ginny gasped in delight.
"So you like it then?" Draco asked her.
"Well besides the fact that I think it is just a cheap trick to get me into your bed, I love it." Ginny replied admiring it.
"That's good, I just wanted to do something that showed you how much I cared for you." Draco replied sheepishly. The whole being nice thing was still relatively new to him.
"This is why I love you." Ginny said, the words popping out of her mouth before she had time to think. She was instantly embarrassed, Draco was going to think she was a silly little girl.
Draco however didn't think that at all. He leaned over to her and kissed her gently on the lips before whispering in her ear "I love you too."
Ginny snuggled into him, happy that he felt that way about her.
"How did you do this?" Ginny asked him quietly not wanting to disturb the peacefulness in the room.
"Colin helped me, he took pictures with his camera and then we enchanted to them to move and look like the sky." Draco whispered back. "Cameras are amazing inventions."
"I can't believe you did this for me." Ginny said still not believing it.
"I'm glad you like it so much." Draco whispered in her ear.
They stared at the stars a while not talking.
Finally Draco broke the silence. "You were right, it was a cheap trick to get you into my bed." He said draping an arm around her. "Nice to know it worked."
"Fred and George are coming tomorrow." Ginny said remembering suddenly. "Mum is making them come. I have to tell them about us. Just figured I would give you a fair warning,"
"You know in case you just wanted to leave town now." Ginny added smiling.
"They can't honestly be worse than Ron?" Draco asked her.
"Not as violent but just as protective, they have their own ways for getting what they want." Ginny warned him. "Just don't take anything they give you."
"Duly noted." Draco replied.
"You want to know what I think is funny?" Ginny asked him.
"Sure what?" Draco replied curiously.
"You have me in your bed and we are looking at the stars, just looking at the stars." Ginny replied to him.
"What do you want me to do?" Draco asked. "If I try anything I'm as good as dead."
"Nothing, I just thought it was funny." Ginny said as she turned to him and kissed him.
Draco pulled her closer to him, happy that she was there, truth be told hearing about the war made him nervous. Having Ginny there with him kept him calm.
"Virginia?" Draco said quietly pulling out of the kiss.
"Yes?" Ginny asked him.
"Will you stay here tonight? We can just sleep." Draco asked her pulling her even closer to him.
Ginny snuggled into him, she felt so comfortable and safe in his arms. "I'd love to."
Draco kissed her on the forehead and closed his eyes. "You stole my moment."
"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked him, her head against his chest.
"I wanted to tell you I loved you first." Draco told her quietly.
"Oh." Ginny said quietly.
"Virginia, I love you." Draco whispered into her hair.
"I love you too." Ginny replied.
Draco and Ginny laid there quietly, Draco's arms wrapped around Ginny. He felt as her breathing deepened and got slower. Then after he knew she was asleep, Draco was able to drift off also. Secure in the fact that for the night at least Ginny was safe. He hadn't told her about the letter he got from his father. The letter that told him that if he knew what was good for him and if he cared for his life at all, he would leave the castle as soon as possible. Dumbledore's speach tonight had only worried Draco more.

(A/N I know there is so much Draco/ Ginny fluff it's disgusting, if I weren't a hopeless romantic I would be disgusted. However soon we are going to have more of the other characters, especailly since I'm bringing back Gred and Forge!!!)
