September 12th

Draco,

I don't like what I have heard from my associates about your behavior. They've been told by their children that you have been saving the Weasley girl and that you saved her. What is the meaning of this? Don't think I won't pull you out of school in an instance if I think you are being insubordinate. If I hear you being around the Weasley girl anymore than drastic action will be taken. She will make the family look bad.

Draco folded the letter up and put it in his pocket. He pulled out a piece of parchment and started to reply.

Person who insists on being called Father,

Nice job with the threats, as usual. However, I'm an adult, you can't pull me out of school. The fact that you wrote me a whole letter because of a girl I might fancy is pathetic. Seriously, I think you are losing your touch. Go ahead and try to pull me out of school, we'll see what Dumbledore has to say about that. Please try, please. I need some entertainment in my life.

Draco

Draco put the letter he just wrote to his father in his pocket to mail to him later. Draco got dressed and made his way to the Great Hall. He nodded at Ginny as he made his way over to sit beside Blaise.

"So her brother knows." Blaise told him taking a bite of his breakfast.

"Yep." Draco replied. "He knows about me and Ginny and he knows that we know about you two."

"Yeah, he wasn't too happy about that." Blaise replied frowning.

"I could tell, he forgot all about wanting to kick my ass for touching his sister."

"When did you two get so close." Blaise asked smirking.

"We got kicked out of the library for snogging." Draco replied smirking back at him.

Blaise shook his head laughing. "Only you."

"Interesting fact I found out last night. She was the one my dad gave the diary to." Draco replied.

"That bastard."

"Yep, in fact he sent me a letter." Draco said pulling out the letter and tossing it to Blaise. "Got to love my beloved father."

Blaise snorted before turning to read the letter He looked back up. "He must have heard about you two from Pansy's parents"

"And Goyle's and Crabbe's, and anyone who saw us snogging in the library." Draco agreed.

"So what are you going to tell him?"

"I told him to go ahead and try and pull me out of school. I'm an adult and I would like to see him try." Draco laughed. "I also told him that writing me a letter because I might fancy a girl is pathetic and he is losing his touch."

"You certainly don't mind pissing off your father."

"Why would I? I never have to see him again."

"What about your inheritance?"

Draco rolled his eyes. "I have more money than I need in my personal accounts." Draco replied. "I haven't spent my allowance except for last Saturday for three years. That along with the money I get from my various investments. I'm fit for life."

"As long as you know what you are doing." Blaise replied shaking his head.

"I do." Draco smirked. "It should be fun."

Ginny was walking down the hallway. She was being followed, she had been for a couple hallways now. "What do you want Pansy?" Ginny asked as she turned a corner, not bothering to make eye contact. Pansy didn't answer. Ginny sighed, "You've been following me for two halls now. What do you want?"

"What do you think you are doing with Draco?" Pansy asked finally grabbing Ginny and pushing her against the wall.

"Nothing." Ginny replied frowning at Pansy's hands on her. "Don't touch me."

"I saw you two in the library."

"Okay, so what?" Ginny asked pushing Pansy away from her.

"He's my boyfriend." Pansy said pushing Ginny again.

Ginny laughed before throwing on a smug smile. "If he were your boyfriend you wouldn't have seen the two of us in the library. Now kindly remove your hands before I hurt you." Ginny smiled innocently at Pansy waiting to see what she would do.

"Don't go near him again, he's mine." Pansy said raising her hand to slap Ginny.

"He isn't yours." Ginny replied grabbing her wrist. "And I wouldn't suggest slapping me." Ginny stepped back from Pansy. "Seriously this whole he's my property thing, very immature."

"You're just a shag to him." Pansy sneered. "He doesn't actually like you."

"I think you are getting me and you confused." Ginny replied pushing Pansy against the opposite wall.

"You bitch."

"Say what you want. I don't care." Ginny laughed as she turned to walk away.

"I'm not done with you yet." Pansy said grabbing Ginny.

Ginny punched Pansy in the nose. "Don't touch me."

Pansy howled as she grabbed her nose.

"Don't touch me ever again Pansy. And don't talk to me again." Ginny said as she turned and walked away.

Ginny stormed through the halls. What gave Pansy the right to bully her. Especially when Ginny could take her? What gave Pansy the right to tell her to stay away from Draco. She didn't own Draco. He didn't even like Pansy.

"Hey." Draco said grabbing her arm and pulling her towards him. "Why are you so mad? I didn't do anything this time."

"Pansy." Ginny said angrily. "She decided to give me a little talking to."

"She didn't try to hurt you did she?" Draco asked concerned.

"Yes." Ginny replied. "She tried. She didn't succeed. I punched her in the nose."

"You punched Pansy?"

"Yes I did." Ginny replied. "She wouldn't leave me be. She pushed me against the wall."

"You punched Pansy?" Draco asked again still in shock.

"Yes, I punched Pansy. Bloodied her up." Ginny replied angrily. "Why are you stuck on that?"

"I just never saw you as the violent type." Draco replied. "Your brother is usually the one with the red hot temper."

"It's a Weasley thing." Ginny replied rolling her eyes. "The nerve of her."

"It's okay." Draco laughed.

"It isn't funny."

"It is. You punched Pansy. That's very funny."

Ginny glared at him. I'll probably get another detention now."

"Come on. You punched Pansy. That's so funny." Draco replied trying to get Ginny to stop glaring at him.

"I find it an annoying thing to have to deal with." Ginny replied.

Draco laughed. "Pansy is going to be furious. This is great."

"Shut up." Ginny said shoving Draco in the shoulder.

"Oh, little Red you hurt me."

"Not as bad as I hurt Pansy." Ginny replied.

Draco leaned down and kissed Ginny. "I think I'm a bad influence on you."

"So do I." Ginny replied. "Got banned from the library, punch Pansy in the nose, what's next."

"How about get caught shagging on Snape's desk." Draco suggested.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Ginny replied laughing.

"It was worth a try." Draco said kissing her again pushing her gently against the wall. He slid his hands up her back pulling her closer to him.

"What if someone walks by?" Ginny asked him pulling slightly away.

"Who cares?"

"We might get in trouble."

"We can't get banned from the hall, so who cares?" Draco replied leaning down and kissing her again. This time Ginny didn't pull away. She reached up, hugging him around his neck and pulling him closer. Draco ran his hands back down her back, resting them on her hips.

"Get off my sister." Ron yelled as he walked up to them.

"Come on Ron, let's leave them be." Blaise said trying to pull him away by the arm.

"He's mauling my sister." Ron shouted.

"How do you do it? Every time I start to have a little fun you show up." Draco sighed. "I'm not mauling her." Draco replied rolling his eyes. "We were happily snogging until you came along."

"Ron come on." Blaise said trying to pull him away. "Just leave them alone."

"Ron please go away." Ginny pleaded. "I'm sixteen. I can handle myself."

"Yeah she just punched Pansy in the nose. Better watch out you might be next." Draco smirked.

"You punched Pansy in the nose?" Ron asked shocked. "Good going."

"Thanks." Ginny replied rolling her eyes.

"Why did you punch Pansy in the nose?"

"She pushed me."

"Ginny. That's so awesome." Ron replied hugging his sister.

"Umm, thanks, I think. Don't you and Blaise have some where to go?"

Ron looked between Blaise and Draco before looking once more at Ginny. "Don't you have a class?" He looked back at Draco and was about to say something else when Blaise pulled him away.

"How does he always interrupt us?" Draco asked turning to her once again.

"It's the gift of the big brother." Ginny replied smiling. "Always find your little sister when she is doing something you wouldn't approve of."

"I approve of what you were doing." Draco smirked pulling her towards him.

"Draco, come on." Ginny pleaded quietly. "I don't want to get in trouble."

"For what?" Draco asked. "We aren't doing anything wrong."

"Public displays of affection are not allowed at Hogwarts. Hogwarts likes to ensure the inclusion of every student and it ensures said inclusion by keeping kids from coupling up." Ginny quoted from the rules. "You should know that, you are the head boy."

"Head Boy is really only a title." Draco replied smirking. "Plus I was only told to enforce the rules, no one ever said anything about following them."

"Lucky you." Ginny replied smirking. "Too bad I have to follow the rules, after all I don't want the Head Boy to tattle on me."

"Don't worry." Draco replied. "I won't tell."

"I have to go anyway." Ginny said pulling out of Draco's grasp. "I do have class."

"Don't go." Draco pleaded. "I'm more fun than class."

"Yeah well getting to my class is a necessity. Snogging you isn't."

"You do hurt me little red." Draco said pulling her towards him again. "Snogging me should be a necessity."

"Little Red? New nickname?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.

"On account of your temper." Draco replied. "And your hair."

"You do have a thing for my hair."

"It's beautiful." Draco replied.

"You can't fool me with your compliments. You just want me to stay here with you."

"Is it working?" Draco asked playing with her hair.

"I have to go."

"No you don't. Who cares if you go to class or not."

"My Professors." Ginny replied.

Draco leaned down and kissed her hard on the lips.

"I still have to go." Ginny said when she separated from him.

"No you don't." Draco replied kissing her again. He pulled her closer to him, running his hands down her back.He knew he had won when Ginny pulled him closer to her sighing into his kiss. She ran her hands down his chest before gently pushing him away.

"I can't, I have class."

"I know."

"So I have to go to class."

"What class?"

"Divination."

"Just tell her that you had a prophecy that told you not to attend class."

"I can't." Ginny replied. "I actually like that class."

"Fine." Draco sighed letting go of her. "Be off on your merry way. It's just like a Gryffindor to actually go to every class."

Ginny laughed. "Yes it is. As it is I will be late." She turned and hurried off to class.

"So you and Ginny. You two looked really friendly." Blaise smirked as Draco sat down at dinner. "Turns out you do know your stuff."

"Probably not as friendly as you and Ron got after you two left us." Draco replied rolling his eyes.

Blaise laughed. "You're right."

"Of course he had the most perfect timing as usual." Draco replied rolling his eyes. "Just in time to remind her she had class."

"That's rough." Blaise said frowning. "I'm glad Ron and I didn't have class."

"I'm ecstatic for the two of you." Draco replied sarcastically.

"If it's any consolation Ron and I will be off all night. So you won't run into us."

"You mean so Ron won't run into me."

"Whichever." Blaise looked up from his dinner. "Do remember she's one of the nice girls, innocent and all that."

"Like you're one to talk."

"What?"

"You and Ron."

Blaise laughed. "That's different. He isn't innocent."

"Not anymore."

"Not ever." Blaise replied smirking. "Just remember she is a sweet girl."

"I will." Draco replied rolling his eyes again. "Why do you care anyway."

"I don't know." Blaise said looking over at the Gryffindor table. "We had a long talk the other day and I just don't want her to get hurt. Plus I have more fun if her brother isn't angry."

"And you think I will hurt her?"

"Usually my answer would be yes. That's not what I'm saying though. I'm just saying remember she is different."

"Okay I will." Draco said sighing. "Are you done lecturing me?"

"Yeah." Blaise smiled.

"It's not like I lectured you on how to treat the Weasley."

"Would you have wanted to?"

"No." Draco replied standing up. "I'm going to go."

"Going to go find Ginny?"

"Yeah." Draco replied.

"Don't worry my Lord, he will be ready when the time comes."

"I thought you already said he was ready."

"He is, I just need some time with him to remind him."

"I want him before Christmas."

"Yes my Lord. He will be ready before Christmas."

"Wake up." Draco said shaking Ginny gently awake.

Ginny opened her eyes yawning. "How did you find me up here?"

"What are you doing up here?" Draco asked looking around. "It's the owlery."

"I came up here to study." Ginny replied. "You know a quite place so I could think. How did you find me up here?"

"I came to send a letter to my father. It was a bite of a surprise that I found you. Saves time since that was my next task anyway." Draco replied holding up the letter.

"Well good thing you found me." Ginny replied yawning again. "I don't want to spend all night in the owlery."

"I suppose it is. So how about you let me get this mailed off and I'll walk you out of here." Draco replied pulling her up.

"Sure." Ginny said picking up her books and following after Draco.

"Artemis." Draco called up to the owls. "Come here."

"You named your owl Artemis?" Ginny scoffed as the owl flew onto his shoulder.

"I like that name." Draco replied as he tied the parchment to his owl's leg. He pat his owl on the back before it flew off his shoulder.

"Do you ever call him Arty?" She asked laughing.

"Stop making fun of my owl's name." Draco said taking her arm and walking out of the owlery with her. "He's a good owl with a good name."

"Sure." Ginny replied skeptically. "Okay. So what did you say to your father."

"Nothing really. Just answering his letter."

"He wrote you?"

"Yes. He heard that I might be talking to a certain scarlet headed Gryffindor." Draco replied rolling his eyes. "Had to threaten to take me out of school if I didn't act correctly."

"Oh." Ginny replied. "How did your father hear about me?"

"Probably from Pansy and Goyle and Crabbe."

"Have they even found Goyle yet?" Ginny asked.

"No, he should show up soon though. I'm amazed he's been gone as long as he has. I should really try and remember where I sent him."

"You really don't know where you sent him?"

"No." Draco smirked. "I just sent him to the first place I could think of. Which I promptly forgot because you were lying there all pitiful like."

"Where are we going?" Ginny asked looking around.

"I don't know." Draco replied. "We're just walking. How's that necklace working out for you?"

"I love it." Ginny replied smiling. "Thank you, for it. It's wonderful."

"So what were you dreaming when I woke you up?"

"How do you know I was dreaming?" Ginny asked.

"It was all lit up." Draco replied.

"I thought it lit up when I was happy."

"It lights up all the time." Draco replied. "Different colors for different emotions and then it lights up when the person wearing it is dreaming."

"That's nifty." Ginny said looking down at it. "Does it fly too?" She smirked up at him.

"Very funny." Draco replied smirking back. "Blue for romance, green for friendship, red for anger, clear when you're dreaming."

"What's pink?" Ginny asked. "That's the color it lit up the other night."

"That's my little secret." Draco replied.

"Why?" Ginny pouted.

"You won't tell me about your dreams and I'm not going to tell you what pink means."

"That isn't nice."

"I told you I wasn't nice." Draco replied.

"You're suppose to be nice to me." Ginny replied. "I can make your life hell if you aren't."

"How is that?"

"Apparently I have girl charms, or something." Ginny said shaking her head. So how do you think you will feel when I turn them off." She smirked at him. "Plus I could always just not kiss you."

"Try and stop me" Draco replied as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.

"Fine." Ginny replied pulling away from him.

"You aren't playing fair." Draco argued.

"I'm a girl, I don't have to." Ginny replied sticking out her tongue.

Draco leaned down and kissed her, sucking on her tongue. Ginny pushed him away laughing.

"You sure you don't want to go shag on Snape's desk?" Draco asked her smirking.

"I'm sure." Ginny laughed. "I don't want my first time to be on a desk that is probably covered in grease stains."

"Your first time ever?" Draco probed.

"Yeah." Ginny said blushing. "I thought you knew. I thought everyone knew"

"I did, I suppose they do also."

"It had just occurred to me how much more experienced I am than you." Draco replied.

"Yeah, I try not to think about that." Ginny replied walking ahead of him.

"Why?"

"Because it's intimidating." Ginny said not looking at him.

Draco lifted her chin to make her look at him. "Don't ever be intimidated of any girl for any reason. You are better than all of them."

Ginny started blushing again, not meeting Draco's eyes.

"I mean it." Draco told her. "You beat them all." Draco grabbed her hand and started walking down the hallway again. "I figured out where we are going."

"Where?" Ginny asked threading her fingers through his.

"It's a surprise." Draco replied.

"I like surprises. Though I didn't think Slytherins were exactly the surprise type."

"We aren't." Draco replied. "But most Slytherins wouldn't hang out, much less date, a Weasley."

Ginny laughed. "Two Slytherins are doing just that."

"Yeah, well Blaise and I must be going soft." Draco grimaced at the thought. "Plus I said most. Anyway, on to the surprise."

"So when was your birthday?" Ginny asked as they walked down the hall.

"What?"

"You said that your father couldn't take you out of school because you were an adult. When was your birthday?"

"Last Saturday."

"I didn't get you a present." Ginny replied.

"You were there." Draco told her. "And you went to the museum with me. I don't need anything else."

"Still, I should get you a present." Ginny argued as Draco pulled her into a room. "Wow."

"Do you like it?" Draco asked her pushing her ahead of him.

Ginny looked around the room filled with everything and anything to do with divination. "I know that you like divination." Draco said quietly looking quite pleased with himself.

"How did you find this place?" Ginny asked him.

"I didn't." Draco replied. "Blaise showed it to me. He wanted to give me a tarot card reading. Amazingly he told me I would wake up one day next to a guy and feel more satisfied than I ever had before."

Ginny laughed as she gently picked up a crystal ball. "Why don't we use this room for Divination?"

"I think it might be an old Divination class room." Draco replied.

"You want me to give you a tarot card reading?" Ginny asked picking up a deck.

"No." Draco replied. "I learned my lesson the first time around."

"Well considering I don't want you to wake up next to a guy feeling satisfied I think you would be okay."

"Nope." Draco repeated. "No tarot readings for me."

"Fine." Ginny said sitting down in the middle of a bunch of pillows. She pulled a book from the table beside her and started flipping through it.

"What is that about?"

"Dream interpretation." Ginny replied. "Want me to interpret a dream?"

"Why don't you interpret one of you own?"

"I know what mine mean." Ginny replied. "So why don't you let me find out what yours mean."

"I don't dream."

"You have to dream."

"Nope." Draco replied sitting beside her on the pillows. "I don't."

Ginny looked at him skeptically.

"At least not any dreams I'm going to tell you about."

"If you aren't going to let me tell you your future or interpret your dreams why did you bring me here?" Ginny asked.

"Because, we are alone and we have these soft pillows around us." Draco replied. "So I can kiss you without worrying about your brother killing me when my back was turned."

"That is something you should worry about." Ginny said looking back down at her book. "Ron is a born and bred killer."

"Don't tell me you are going to read."

"I think I will." Ginny smirked as she flipped the page in her book.

"You don't really want to read?" Draco asked her kissing her on the neck.

"This book is very interesting." Ginny replied pushing him away.

"Come on."

"I don't really trust myself in here with you." Ginny said flipping the page not meeting Draco's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't trust myself around you." Ginny repeated. "And I'm not ready."

"I didn't bring you here to shag you." Draco replied.

"I didn't say you did."

"Then what's the problem?"

"The problem is I don't trust myself around you." Ginny replied. "Just because that isn't the plan doesn't mean it won't happen."

"Okay then." Draco said leaning back. "You can read your book and I will sit here and entertain myself."

"Are you mad?" Ginny asked him.

"No." Draco said weaving his fingers through hers. "I don't want you to be uncomfortable."

"You know Draco, you keep shocking me."

"What do you mean?"

"You are so mean to everyone, but you can also be very thoughtful and nice." Ginny smiled at him. "Don't worry I won't let your secret out."

"Good." Draco replied. "So are you done yet?"

"Be patient." Ginny replied laughing. "And then we can go find some hall to make out in if that will make you happy."
