Draco looked up from his homework, with an adorable splatter of blue ink on his cheek. Virginia noted this as she ran over to him and hauled him out of his chair. Draco grinned and put his quill back in the inkwell. He spun her back to face him as she started to run for the door, dragging him behind her. He cut off her protests with a kiss. She kinda melted after that and the nasty tension went away. He broke it off and stared at her, resting his forehead against hers. "So what's the what here?"

"I beat Harry to another bleeding pulp, called him lots of nasty names, really nasty names," Virginia said thoughtfully as she ran back over what she said to Harry, "My brothers know what Harry said, I kinda blurted out to Snape and McGonagall what he said too, and, and then I just ran." Virginia sighed as Draco hugged her gently. "Damn it, Draco. How could he even think like that?"

"You know what this calls for?" Draco said into her neck.

"What?"

"Getting extremely smashed."

"Sounds like fun." Virginia said with a hiccup as she let Draco wipe her tears away with his hand. "Sounds like fucking fun."

"Numbs the pain. I know I left it around here somewhere. . ." Draco muttered after he sat Virginia down on his chair. "Damn thing. . ." Draco crawled around in all his junk that he stored down in the chamber.

"How'd you find this place anyway?" Virginia asked as she played idly with the quill on his desk.

"Just exploring. Trying to ditch Crabbe and Goyle, ran down a corridor, pressed a stone cause I fell over and found this place. It's a good place to do my homework without Pansy trying to rape me every five seconds." Draco looked up from his searching as Virginia gave a muffled giggle. "I am incredibly sexy, you know that. Irresistible."

"Blame it on pheromones." Virginia suggested as she watched him. "You smell gorgeous."

"Hey, that's my line!" Draco flashed her a wicked grin from around a stalagmite. "Ah, here it is. My bonafide, guaranteed Invisibility Cloak." He held it up with a flourish. Virginia applauded, laughing. "Now, I know a passage into Hogsmeade. Do you have anything other then school robes?"

"Would muggle clothes be alright?" Virginia asked hesitantly.

"Cin, where I'm taking you, you'll need them. They insist on them. New trendy nightclub. C'mon, we'll sneak up to your dorm and you can get changed." Draco arranged the Cloak around them both, and holding her hand, walked up the corridor.
"Where are they Ron?" Hermoine hissed as they watched the Marauder's Map. "They don't show on this map at all!"

"Well, they do, but they're stuck in a wall." Ron said frustrated. "I think this is broken. Wait, now they're moving!" Ron and Hermoine were diligently ignoring Harry, and Fred and George looked rather disgusted with him too. Harry knew he'd done it this time. Even if the Weasleys weren't sure if they believed Ginny or not, once they decided, he would be dead. "Where are they going?"

"Gryffindor common room. Let's go." Hermoine snapped as she rose to her feet. Fred and George leapt to theirs as well.

"There is no way you are doing this without us!" George said forcefully.

"Ginny is our sister too, and we-"

"Need to get to the bottom of this! I mean, Ginny-"

"Will need us! We're coming." Fred finished.

"But you're assistant professors." Hermoine pointed out gently.

"Hagrid won't mind." George said.

"I'll see you guys when you get back." Harry said as he raised himself onto his elbows. "I don't think Ginny wants to see me right now." The three Weasley boys turned and glared at him.

"We have a serious talk coming up, Harry." Ron said threateningly as the group left. Harry sighed and sank back into his pillows. Damn, why did he let Draco get under his skin like that? And how could he have said those things about Ginny? Harry shut his eyes tight as sheer misery started to overwhelm him. How could he have done that? He almost wished Ginny would come back in and beat the shit out of him again.
"REMUS!!!!!" Melanie screamed, at her wits ends.

"Melanie, what is it?" She heard Remus's worried voice say as he opened the door of the closet.

"Gotta save the sweet little red head! She's in major trouble!" Melanie yammered as she fell into his arms and sent him crashing onto the floor. "Malfoys are bad bad bad people! Even by my standards!" Melanie ignored the fact that Remus was still on the floor as she got up and stalked over to the door. "What time is it?" She said in frustration as she put her hand on the door handle.

"Barely two o'clock. And I just saw Ginny, she was fine. Well, crying, but in one piece. She nearly knocked me over, and then she just ran away. I heard you, so I came in here." Remus said in a dazed voice as he picked himself of the floor.

"Need to go save cute red! Listen, dusted a vamp the other night. He told me that I should join with them. When I asked him who them was, he said that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was back. Told me to come with him to Malfoy Manor. I staked him, but now I wish I'd kept him alive. Well, not turned him into dust anyway." Melanie leant against the wall and slid down it, landing on the floor with a thump. She cradled her head in her hands. "If Voldemort's mixed up in this, and he's recruiting, and the Malfoys as well and that utter tosser Lucius, red is in the biggest trouble of her life."

"Melanie?" Remus said sweetly.

"Yes, wolf boy?"

"Why didn't you tell me this before?!" Remus yelled in frustration. Melanie's head snapped up as she stared in shock. He was actually growling. "We need to see Dumbledore, now. Expecto illumini noctus!" A ball of dark light appeared at the end of his wand and slowly grew bigger. Melanie stuck her hand in it and sighed as the cooling dark swept over her. Now wreathed in darkness, she stood up and grinned, her fangs flashing oddly in the mix of light and dark.

"This'll stop me turning into dust?"

"Hopefully."

"It better, Wolf." She said as she opened the door. Sunlight halted and disappeared into the dark surrounding her. "Wolf, you did it!" She kissed him gratefully on the cheek as the students stared. "Sunlight! I can see it again." She sighed in contentment, then fear washed over her face again. "Gotta see head teacher guy!" Remus sighed, grabbed her wrist and started quickly for Dumbledore's office.
Draco watched as the giggling Virginia tried on outfits for him. "This one?" She posed in blue muggle jeans and cream peasant top, looking sweet and innocent.

Draco smiled and lounged back on her bed. "Nah. Got anything black?"

"I think so." She frowned and dug around in her wardrobe. She pulled out a pair of black pants and slipped them on. They were very tight. Then grinning evilly, she got out a black leather corset top. She put it on, then turned to Draco and said, "Pull on the laces for me."

"Ok." Draco smirked and did them up for her. She stood back and let him look her over. "Perfect. I'll just hide my robes up here." Draco undid his robes and pulled them over his head. Virginia clapped slowly as he turned around for her to admire him. Dressed in black jeans and a silver white top, Draco looked sexily evil and dark.

"I look like vampire Willow on Buffy." Virginia grinned, as she looked herself over in the mirror. "Muggle thing. Bored now." She told Draco, who looked confused. "Where are we going anyway?" Virginia asked in puzzlement as she pulled on her boots. She stood up and stamped in them a couple of times, watching Draco as he stuffed his robes in her wardrobe. She ran her brush through her hair a couple of times, just to tame it a little.

"A bit of a walk on the darker side of life." Draco said mysteriously as he pulled the Cloak over their heads He started for the door, Virginia following him and froze as he heard several familiar voices.

"She should be in her dormitory! And that slimy git Malfoy's in with her!" They heard Ron say angrily. "She's only fifteen!" Virginia rolled her eyes. Now the big brother protectiveness comes out. Only with Draco, but not Harry.

"Calm down, Ron. I'm sure she has a reasonable explanation for all of this." They heard Hermoine say. Quickly, they moved away from the door as the voices and footsteps got closer. Ron, Hermoine, Fred and George burst into Virginia's dorm room and Draco and Virginia slipped out behind them, stifling laughter as the other group stared in bewilderment at the empty room.

"I am now sure that thing's broken, Ron." George said with a sigh. Virginia and Draco ran for the portrait hole.

"Candied violets!" Virginia said softly as she pulled the Cloak off her for a minute. Draco stayed shrouded in it. "Thank you!" She called back as they both went through. She slipped back under with Draco and he led her down a confusing array of passages to a statue of a humpbacked witch.

"Dissendium!" Draco said, tapping the witch with his wand. "I followed Potter a few times, alright? I wanted to know how he got out of the castle. This is a useful tunnel, comes out in the basement of Honeyduke's." He led her into it, and then pulled the hump down behind him. "Oh please, Potter is very bad at skulking. Doing anything with a modicum of secrecy really." He said to Virginia's startled look. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. "Now let's go get so pissed we don't remember our names!"
"Where are they now, Ron?" Fred said as the group studied the Map.

"Here, supposedly. But where are they going?" They watched with puzzlement as the two dots labeled 'Virginia Weasley' and 'Draco Malfoy' moved through the corridors of the school.

"Hogsmeade!" George groaned as he watched the dots enter a tunnel. "Now how on earth did Malfoy find that tunnel? We have no chance about catching them now. . ."

"Should we tell McGonagall do you think?" Hermione said worriedly.

"No!" Ron blurted out. "Let them go. Ginny's in such horrible trouble already, and how are we supposed to tell them how we knew?" The group shared one of those looks, and split up. The twins to go down and help Hagrid, Ron and Hermione to their classes.
Ooohhh. Do ya hate me now? What will Ginny and Draco do while pissed? Where are they going? What will happen to Harry? Harry is a very naughty boy, and deserves what Ginny threatened to do to him. Skip, skip, skip through all the characters and their scenes. It's all one in the great Ifalong. But my chapters are getting longer. And that's a good thing.
