Here's Chapter 12, hope you enjoy. As always, I don't own Harry Potter, nor do I want to.  I just like messing with the characters. ^_^

Chapter 12: Crossed Wires

He was seated at the airport waiting for his plane.  There was an hour delay because of weather and he was bored out of his mind, "Go figure, a rain delay in London, pfft." He then looked through his bag for something to do.  He decided to take out the muggle camera he owned and give it a once over making sure everything was working properly.  He held the camera to his eye, checking to make sure the lens was alright and that there were no scratches on it.  He was having fun viewing the airport through his camera when everything went black, "What the…"  He put the camera down and looked up to see what was obstructing his view.

~*~*~*~*~

He was running a little late for his flight and was almost panicked something frightful, but not enough to not be pissed, "Damn you Draco, you know how much I hate these muggle things couldn't your father have bought a nice piece of land near a wizarding area?"

After a lot of complaining, asking for directions, and flirting with some of the desk receptionists, he finally found his terminal.  The flight was packed and he looked around trying to find a place to sit in the waiting area.  That's when he spotted a blonde head with a camera attached to its face.  He then smirked to himself and walked over.

~*~*~*~*~

"Hey Creevey."  Blaise smirked down at the younger Gryff and pointed to the vacant seat next to him, "Mind if I sit here, the area is packed and I'd rather not have to sit on the floor."

Colin just stared up at the older Sly dumbfounded.  Yes, Ginny did tell him that Blaise would be visiting at the same time as he, but it never really hit him till this moment. 

He then mentally shook himself, noticing that Blaise was waiting for an answer, "Oh..um…yah of course."  Colin quickly removed his bag from the chair, allowing Blaise to sit down.

Blaise then sat and looked at Colin, "Going to visit the Weasley girl?  What her name again… Penny?"

Colin then glared at Blaise, the boy maybe cute, but no one insulted his best mate, "It's Ginny, and only her close friends call her that.  You may call her Virginia."  Colin was a bit miffed now and decided to ignore the boy and go back to fiddling with his camera.

Blaise smirked.

Hit a nerve did I?  At least he stopped with the google eyes.

Blaise sighed, now bored.

A few minutes passed in silence, until Blaise couldn't take it anymore.  He turned to Colin once more, taking the camera that was now laying it the boy's lap and started to examine it himself.

"Hey you git give that back."  Colin reached for it, but Blaise quickly moved it from his reach, "Calm down Creevey, I just want to look at it.  I'll give it back in a second."

Blaise, unknown to most people, knew some stuff on muggle cameras and decided that Colin had a very nice camera, "So, is there any film in the thing?"

Colin nodded, "Yes"  Blaise then advanced the film and tested the camera for lighting before he snapped a picture of Colin, "It a good camera, you'll get some nice pictures when you get to the tropics."  He then handed the camera back to Colin, "Lots of scantily cladded women."  He wiggled his eyebrows.

Colin glared at him once more, "Pfft that would be a waste of film."

Blaise raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?  So perhaps you only want pictures of one scantily cladded woman in particular."  He laughed.

Colin rolled his eyes, "Give me a break Zabini, Ginny is like a sister to me, it's strictly platonic between us."  He said while putting his camera away.

Zabini smirked, "Oh really?  That's surprising; most of the males at Hogwarts think she's a nice piece of ass and that she was all yours for the taking."  Blaise decided the only way to keep conversation going was by egging the boy on.

Now Colin was pissed, "Listen Zabini, Ginny is NOT, I repeat NOT, just a piece of ass.  Yes, she is attractive, but she is just my best mate.  I care enough about her to keep men like you and the rest of the male population of Hogwarts away from her.  And if you even think of laying a finger on her during this vacation I swear to Merlin you'll wish you were never born.  You got me Zabini?"

Blaise couldn't hold a straight face anymore more and busted out laughing, "Calm down Creevy, I assure you I have no intentions of going near your precious Ginny."  He took a few deep breathes before going on, "Besides," smirked and leaned in closer to Colin, "I already got my eye on someone."  He winked and pulled away.

Colin just stared at him, wide-eyed, for a moment before figuring out that Blaise was just messing with him.

Or is he?

Of course he is, Zabini is the biggest playboy of Hogwarts, he's got girls at his beckon call… GIRLS, not guys.

It's only rumor.

There's truth to all rumors.

Colin sighed heavily and decided to take a nap and hoped that Blaise would at least have the decency to wake him up when they started boarding.

~*~*~*~*~

The Flight Attendant called for the boarding of the plane at least three times already and Colin still wasn't waking up.  And to add insult to injury, the little blonde fell over in his sleep and was now lying on Blaise's shoulder.

When did I turn into this kids pillow, pfft, the nerve.

So why haven't you shoved him off yet?

Well… I do have manners and unfortunately being a Gryff is no excuse.

His conscience laughed at him, Suuure, you just keep thinking that.

Blaise mentally shook himself and then looked down at the sleeping boy, "Guess I better wake him."  He nudged Colin a little, "Oi, Creevey wake up, the plane is boarding."

Colin wiggled a bit in his seat and made a whining sound, "Five more minutes mum, I promise."  He then curled up a little and snuggled closer to Blaise's arm.

Blaise laughed, "Now now sweety, if you don't get up this instant, you're going to miss your flight and seeing Ginny."  He said in a mock motherly tone.

Colin then slowly opened his eyes and sat up, rubbing at them, "Oh fine then mu…"  His eyes went wide when he saw Blaise laughing his ass off at his antics, "I'm guessing you aren't a morning person, are you Creevy."

Colin was now fuming he stood up and glared down at Blaise, "why you little…"  Blaise then stood up, only about an inch or two taller than Colin.

Guess he isn't that short after all.

You like them tall too.

Blaise laughed and got in his face, "You're cute when you're cranky Creevey."  He then quinked, "Feel free to sleep on me whenever you want, you're very entertaining."  He then picked up his bag and boarded the plane.

Once again Colin was speechless.

That went well.

Wow…

This is going to be a GREAT vacation.

Colin quickly boarded the plane, a huge shit eating grin on his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~ Airport in the Bahamas ~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny was now getting antsy.  The plane had landed about ten minutes ago and she didn't see hide nor hair of Colin, "Where can he be?  Did he miss the flight?  Oh Merlin what if he did?"

Draco put a hand on her shoulder, "Weaslette calm down, they have to go through a few check points before coming to the baggage claim."

Ginny almost jumped when he touched her.  Ever since she was are 'normal' self again she kept thinking about what happened.

He kissed me.

Yah, just to shut you up.

…

Ginny was plagued by this realization for awhile now.  She moved away so he wasn't touching her anymore.

Draco was about to say something, when Ginny shrieked and went off running.  Next thing he saw made him laugh.  Ginny had spotted Colin, she was so happy to see him that she jumped on him, giving him a hug so big that they almost fell over.

There were two older people standing behind Draco commenting on the scene, "Dear isn't that cute?"  The woman said, "Yes it is, young love is a beautiful thing.  Remember when we were their age?"

The couple continued talking, but Draco was no longer listening.

Creevey and Weaslette, in love? Nah…

They do look like a couple like that.

Shut up!

Ha! You're jealous.

Why would I be jealous?  Please that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Before the internal argument could go any farther Draco felt something hit him in the back of the head.

"Draco, snap out of it.  I was beginning to feel like you didn't want me here.  The way you're staring at the girl and all."

Draco turned to greet his best, and only, mate, "What would you know about girls you Dorothy."  He then smiled and extended his hand.

Blaise then took his hand and shook it, "I've missed you too Draco."  He gave Draco a short hug, "How's your summer going?"

Draco shrugged, "As well as it can with a Weasley around."

Blaise laughed, "So I see."  He wiggled his eyebrows.

Draco rolled his eyes, "Let's just go get your bags already."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once they were all back at the house and situated, Ginny began to prepare dinner.

Colin pulled out his camera.  Ginny hated having pictures taken of her.  This made Colin want to take pictures of her more. "Hey Gin Gin, smile." Click.  Ginny turned to him with a sour face, "Colin you just got here, must you start annoying me now with your picture taking."

"Aw, come on Gin Gin, you're so cute no matter was you do."  He laughed, "The world must see the beauty that is Virginia Weasley." He laughed.

Ginny picked up a piece of lettuce and threw it at Colin, "Stop being an idiot."

Colin then got up from that table and walked up close to her taking more pictures of her.

Ginny playfully swatted at him, "Colin stop, seriously, I hate having pictures of me taken."  She began whining, and Colin laughed.

Draco and Blaise walked in as the other two were having their play fight.  He cleared his throat, "If you two are almost done with your flirting, I'd like to eat soon."  Draco was in a great mood.  He had an awesome time surfing with Blaise and just getting caught up on everything.  Then he came back inside to seeing Ginny flirting with Creevey, in HIS house.

Oh but why do I care?

I don't

Liar.

"I'm going to take a shower."  Draco then left the room quickly, leaving behind three confused people.

Ginny looked at Blaise, "What was that all about?"

Blaised shrugged, "You're guess is as good as mine."

~*~*~*~*~*

About an hour later everyone was all cleaned up and dinner was served.  Ginny went all out and made steak, smoked Salmon, grilled chicken, a nice salad, fresh spinach, and a couple of other small dishes.

Colin smiled, "Wow Gin Gin, you went all out, this looks great."

Blaise commented next, "Probably tastes good too.  Can we begin?"

Ginny smiled and nodded, "Dig in."

Ginny sat and watched the boys devouring everything in sight.  Well, that is, Colin and Blaise devouring everything.  Draco had not touched anything yet.

I wonder if he is still in a sour mood.

Ginny looked at Draco and smiled, "Draco aren't you hungry?  There is plenty you know.  Please eat."  She smile faltered when he continued to glare at her.

Ginny then looked away and ate silently.

Draco just looked at her.

She never cooks this well when it's just the two of us.

She did it for Creevey.

And you care why?

I don't damn it!

You could have fooled me.

Shut up!

"Shut up!"

Everyone around Draco stopped what they were doing at his sudden outburst.  Blaise was the first to speak, "Draco you alright?"

Draco looked around; he didn't mean to voice what was going on in his head.  He set his napkin on the table and stood up, "I'm going for a walk."  He then looked at Ginny quickly and walked out.

Ginny moved to follow, but Blaise stopped her, "Not now love, let him blow off some steam first."

Ginny shook her head, "Blow off steam from what?  Ever since we got back from the airport he's been more of a git than he usually is.  If he was a girl I'd think he was PMSing."

Both Blaise and Colin laughed at this. 

Blaise knew what was going on, but was debating on whether or not to tell Ginny.  He then looked to Colin and tilted his head away, and mouthed, 'I'll tell you later'.  Colin nodded and said he had to go use the bathroom.

Ginny sighed and sat down.

Blaise stared at Ginny, "He's jealous."

Ginny head shot up, "Pardon?"

Blaise smiled, "He's jealous," He laughed slightly, and "He jealous, Draco that is, thinks you and Creevey fancy one another."

Ginny couldn't help, but laugh, "Me and Colin… That's so idiotic.  I mean even if I fancied Colin, it would never work, I mean he's ga…"  She covered her mouth before she said anymore.

Blaise smiled, "Don't worry love, I figured as much."

Ginny rows a brow, "But how.  No one at school, but I knew."

He smirked, "He hangs out with one of the hottest girls in school and never once made a move on her.  Not to mention I have exceptional gaydar."  He laughed.

Ginny scratched her head, "What girl is this?"

Blaise laughed and shook his head, "Forget it."  He stood up, "I think Draco has had enough cool down time, go and find him, Creevy and I will handle the clean up."

Ginny was about to protest, but Blaise silenced her by pushing her out the door, "Now get going."

Once the door was slammed in her face, Ginny had no choice but to go.  She walked around for a few minutes, when she finally spotted Draco, sitting in the same place he was that last time something bad really happened.  She named it his 'Angry Spot'.  She quickly wiped the smile from her face as she got closer to him, "Hey Ferret."  She then sat down next to him.

Draco moved away from her when she sat down.  He wanted to get away from her, didn't she understand that.

Ginny sighed, "Ferret will you stop giving me the silent treatment already!  Nothing is going to get solved if you don't say something."

Draco shrugged, "Something."

Ginny then glared at him, "Funny, real funny."

There was silence after that.  A good five minutes of it.  Finally, Ginny got fed up with it.  She stood up and kicked sand at him, "Fine then if you want to be a jackass about it, then I don't care.  I was hoping that whatever was wrong with you we could talk about it so it wouldn't ruin the time we have with our friends."

Draco then stood up as well, and looked her straight in the eyes, "Oh no, Merlin forbid I ruin the time that you and Creevey have together.  By all means ignore me and be on your merry way."

Ginny was sick and tired of his mood swings.  She knew she should tell him about Colin, but right now she was really mad at him, "Fine!  I will!"  She began to walk away, but felt Draco grab her wrist and pull her back.  She fell back a little and landed on his chest.

Ginny blushed a bit, but then remember what happened all of a minute ago and started beating his chest, "Let go of me Draco!"  Draco kept his hold on her as she wiggled around trying to get free.

Finally Ginny stopped moving.  Thinking that she had given up, Draco loosened his grip, bad idea.  As soon as Ginny felt him let go a little, she wiggled free and started running back to the house.

Now, as many people know Draco Malfoy is the epitome of good health, so as she watched her run away he decided to give her a small head start, letting her think she got away.

Ginny continued running, she could see the house right in front of her.  She smiled in happiness, that is, until she heard another pair of feet running directly behind her and catching up to her at a break neck speed.  She turned her head and saw Draco running at her.

Not paying attention to where she was running anymore, her foot got caught in some dry seaweed and she fell flat onto the sand. "Ow!"

Draco was on top of her in minutes holding her arms down with his hand.

Ginny wanted to scream, but when she looked up at him she was….amazed, confused?  When Ginny looked at Draco she was expecting him to be angry or really REALLY mad.  Instead he looked sad, or was it confused?  Either way, Ginny stopped her struggling and looked up at him expectantly.

So he tackled her, what was he suppose to do now?

Tell her she can't see Creevey.

No!  He's her best mate.

F*ck that!  She's yours, you bought her!

Shut up!

His head hurt, he was tired, and he had a very confused looking female Weasley lying under him.

Dream come true?

Shut up damn it!

"Draco?"

He snapped out of his trance and looked down at her, "What did you call me Weaslette?"

She smiled, she learned pretty quick that when he called her 'Weaslette' that it meant they were cool with each other again.  The name some how went from an insult to a nickname, sort of like 'Ferret' for him.

She shook her head, "Nothing Ferret."  Draco then sighed, she looked at him, "Draco what's wrong, really?"

Draco then leaned forward and rested his forehead on her shoulder, "Don't pretend to care Weaslette, you aren't my friend.  You are my worker and I am your boss that is all."

For some unknown reason, Ginny had a want to cry when she heard this, "Oh… I see…"  She couldn't help it she sniffled.

Draco then lifted his head and looked at her.

Is she crying?

Ginny turned her head to the side, away from his gaze.

How embarrassing.

"Weaslette, look at me."

"No…"

"Look at me Weas…"

"No."

"Ginny look at me!"

She turned her head at hearing him actually saying a part of her first name. "What?! What do you want from me you asshole?"  She was now crying.

Draco shook his head, "Why are you crying?"

She rolled her eyes, "You just practically said you hate me.  At first I was okay with you hating me, hell I hated you to.  But…but… I thought that since I started working here I thought we were becoming friends or… something."  She thought about the few times they kissed.

He smirked, "Something?"

Oh how she hated that smirk, "F*ck you Malfoy, get the hell off of me.  That's it I qui…"  She was cut off by his lips.

Draco began licking her bottom lips, wanting entrance into her mouth.

Ginny did enjoy kissing him, but it was never done on her terms.  It was always to shut her up; it was starting to piss her off.

She smirked inwardly, I have a great idea.

She opened her mouth to his, letting his tongue play with her's.  Not to let Draco in on her plan, she slowly led Draco's tongue into her mouth using her own tongue.  Once she got Draco where she wanted him she opened her eyes, and bit down on his tongue.  Not to hard to really hurt him, but just enough to get her point across.

Draco drew back quickly holding a hand to his mouth, "What the hell was that for Weasley?!"

She sat up on her hands, "Next time you want to shut me up, trying just asking me nicely to be quiet.  I won't fall for your shit anymore Malfoy."

For some unknown reason, at least to Draco, he wanted to kiss her now more than ever before.  He once again pinned her arms down and bent forward, this time face to face, "Weaslette, you confuse me greatly."  He looked into her eyes, "And you give me endless headaches."  He sighed and once again rested his head on her shoulder.  "At the same time, it's fun." He smirked against her skin. "Not fun in the malicious way, just fun."  He turned his head a bit, his lips making contact with her skin.

"Draco…"

He kissed her neck, "Ginny, please, just shut up."

She went silent.  Draco held in a laugh and closed his eyes.

She's so warm

A few moments later, Draco was brought out of his reveries when he felt a hand in his hair.  It was Ginny's.  He sighed almost sounding content.

"Draco…"  She spoke, why did she have to speak?

"What is it Weaslette?"

She rested her hand on his back, "I want…I want…"  She took a deep breath," to be your friend, I'm tired if this retarded, pointless, fighting."

Draco leaned up on his arms and looked at her, "You what?"

She rolled her eyes, "I said I want to be your friend Ferret?"  For a quick second Ginny thought she saw disappointment in Draco's eyes, but he quickly covered it up by turning onto his back taking Ginny with him.

Ginny was now on top of him looking down at his smirking face. "Well?"

He raised a brow, "Well what?"

Ginny rolled her eyes, "Friends?"

Draco sat up and placed his hands on either side of her head, "Friends" he then leaned in and kissed her fully on the lips.  He pulled back slightly, "…for now."

Ginny looked him in the eyes, "You know nothing could can come if it."  She kissed him hard on the lips and then pulled away, "And I don't do summer flings."  She then got up and proceeded to walk back to the house, slightly more happy, but slightly more sad also.
