Chapter 11
Encounters and Dancing

Draco walked over to Ginny after he noticed that she was done eating.

Several people looked up at him and he just sneered at them.

"Come on Gin, let's go," he said taking her hand.

She let him lead her out of the hall and they walked to his dorm.

"Wait, can I get some of my stuff first?" She said stopping in her tracks.

"Yeah, sure. I'll meet you back in my room all right? You know the way?"

She nodded and kissed him briefly on the lips before turning around and walking towards the staircase that lead to Gryffindor Tower.

Draco walked towards his Dorm when he was pulled roughly into an empty classroom. The door was slapped shut as Draco was slammed roughly into it and the person who had his gripped his shirt very tightly at the neck.

"You stay away from her, you here?" A young man growled in Draco's face, "You stay away or you'll regret it dearly!"

"Whoa bub, I'm not scared of you, and you need a tic tac! When was the last time you brushed your teeth?" Draco said being his smart-ass cocky self.

The young man pulled Draco away from the door slightly and slammed him back into it.

There was a sickening SMACK and Draco became dazed and he felt blood trickle down the back of his neck. The young man laughed mirthlessly and dropped Draco who fell to his knees.

"Watch your back," and Draco was flung forward with the door.

He groaned and stood up.

[Who, the fuck was that guy? And why doesn't he want me to stay away from Ginny? There's no fucking chance of me not going near her! She's my girlfriend. Gawd damn my head hurts.]

Draco walked back to his dorm holding the back of his head and he found Ginny already there, looking very ruffled.

"What happened to you?" He said looking at her curiously.

"Ran into my ex, he was pretty pissed. Draco? Are you bleeding?" She said looking at his hand and spinning him around. She gasped and quickly took out her wand and performed a simple healing charm and Draco didn't feel woozy anymore.

"Thanks," he said smiling.

"Sorry I can't do anything about the blood now dried in your hair."

"Eh, that's all right," he said then saying the password and letting them both into his common room.

Ginny had Draco sit down while she ran to the bathroom. When she came back she had a washcloth and a bowl of warm water.

She sat behind him and gently pushed his head forward and dipped the washcloth in the bowl and gently rubbed the blood away.

She grinned when she heard him moan softly and she leaned forward and ran her tongue up his newly cleaned newly cleaned neck and he shuddered slightly.

"Was that your tongue?" he said softly.

"And if it was?" she said grinning against his skin.

"Mmm, I don't know you then Ginny, who are you and what have you done with my innocent girlfriend," He joked turning his head to look at her smiling.

She grinned and got out from behind him and straddled his lap, "I dunno, she's gone, I was sick of her," Ginny said with a grin and leaned forward and pressed her lips against Draco's. His hands went to the small of her back and slid under the thin fabric of her shirt while Ginny did the same only to his chest.

Draco suddenly pulled away, "I don't want to do something that you'll regret later," he said softly looking deeply into her eyes.

She nodded in understanding then stood up happily.

Draco just looked utterly confused at her.

"The dance! It's in two days! We have to go get our outfits!" She said beaming happily.

Draco burst out laughing and nodded, "Alright, what are we going to go as?"

She thought for a moment biting her lip.

[Gawd she looks sexy when she does that!] Draco thought staring at her lips.

"I've got it! You go as a knight and I'll go as an angel, like in that muggle movie Romeo and Juliet!"

He grinned, "A true romantic you are. Alright, a knight and angel it is, but I can have a sword, right?"

Ginny chuckled nodding, "Yea, you can have a sword."

They made their way down to the Entrance Hall and walked out the doors. Looking around the figured it must be 4 or 5 from the position of the sun and continued on their way to Hogsmeade.

Fifteen minutes later they were inside a clothing store now stocked with all sorts of Halloween Costumes.

Ginny asked the clerk if she could have the costumes custom made and with that he brought them into the back to be fitted.

An hour later Draco had tailored black pants, a chain mail top and a metal shoulder plate. They even gave him this cheesy metallic looking mask that covered his nose and eyes. Ginny however had a beautiful white flowing sleeve-less dress equipped with the halo and wings.

They walked back to the school and walked straight up to Draco's Dorm.

They still hadn't seen each other in the costume and wanted to keep it that way until they met at the dance.

They put their stuff in Draco's room and went to dinner.

Dinner, uneventful as usual, oh except for one small thing...

"What's going on between you and Malfoy? He keeps looking over here!" Ron said suspiciously.

"What? Ginny said tearing her eyes from Draco's.

"Why the hell does he keep staring at you? If he continues it, I'll go over there and rip his eyes out!" Ron hissed.

"Ron, there's something I need to tell you," She said nervously looking at her hands.

"Huh? What?" Ron said confused.

"Umm, I'm sort of...dating Draco."

"YOU"RE WHAT!?" Ron said outraged and standing up abruptly.

"I. Am. Dating. Draco. Malfoy!" She said clearly for him to hear.

That was all Ron could hear because just then he passed out. Ginny however wasn't that lucky. Harry was furious and the whole of Gryffindor glared at her. Not only that, but Pansy Parkinson had somehow made her way over to Ginny in 3 seconds flat and had her pinned by the throat against the wall. Draco was over there quicker and pried a screaming Pansy away from Ginny.

"WHY YOU LITTLE FUCKER! I'LL KILL YOU!" Pansy screamed trying to get at Ginny again but ended up being stunned by Draco.

Among all the commotion one pair of eyes was glaring at the couple with fire in his eyes.

Draco pulled Ginny away from the mob and took her to the special room he found back in second year.

He held her as she cried softly saying soothing words to try and calm her.

Finally calming down she stated that she would meet him later in his room saying something about getting her stuff and good for nothing stuck up selfish stubborn Gryffindors.

Draco went back to his dorm and waited for her. He waited for an hour or so when he was about to go looking for her he heard his portrait open and Ginny stumbled in.

"I got ambushed. The Creevey's tried to test me for a love potion or some sort of hex or something," she said plopping down next to him exhausted.

"Oh, you poor baby," Draco said playfully cradling her in his arms.

She smiled and curled into him yawning.

"Tired are we?"

"Mmmhmm."

Draco smiled and picked her up bringing her into his room and setting her on the bed and went to wash his face and change.

When he came back, Ginny's trunk had magically appeared to his confusion and she was in ducky pajama bottoms and a cerulean blue camisole showing her black bra under.

He grinned and walked over to the bed in his flame boxers and crawled into the bed next to her. They cuddled against each other. Ginny had found a spot in the crook between his chin and shoulder and he was resting his head on hers.

Draco's alarm clock went off at 6:05 sharp the next morning and grumbling, Draco turned it off and gently woke Ginny.

She mumbled something and turned over making Draco sigh and resort to tickling.

Ginny jumped and said "Alright! I'm up! I'm up!"

Draco chuckled and began getting dressed into his school uniform...well in a white button-up and black tailored pants. Ginny pulled on a black skirt and a white button-up and pulled out her tie and put it on while Draco did as well. Then they both went into the bathroom to do what people do in the morning, brush their teeth, wash their face, take a piss, you know the basics.

They walked down to breakfast together both departing ways before the doors and sat down and began to eat.

Classes were very, interesting. There were pranking going on and floating teachers. Someone had bewitched Snape so that he was floating around and couldn't do the counter curse until 6 pm when it would wear off.

Hagrid had provided an interesting class again with bringing out Nifflers and had a class project where you were to take care of a Niffler until the end of the winter and if you brought it back alive, you got full marks.

The halls were also bewitched so that if you stepped on a wrong tile, your skin or hair would turn different colors.

By the end of the day the student population at Hogwarts was now multicolored, including the teachers. Many people were under the impression that it was the Weasley twins who could've come back but nope; it was another group who got help from the Twins.

Ginny met Draco after Dinner in the library.

They took one look at each other and burst out laughing.

"SHH!!" Madame Prince hissed loudly at them.

Chuckling they left the library.

"Wow, you look good in blue...with puke green afro hair!" He said chuckling.

She smirked, "Oh quiet you Mr. Violet-bodied-hot-pink-haired-ferret," she joked.

He scowled and Ginny smirked taking off the wig and tapping herself with her wand now being perfectly normal. Draco gawked at her and tried to do it himself but groaned.

"Aww, is ickle dwakie upset cuz he can't get rid of the purple and hot pink?" she baby talked to him holding him in her arms.

"Mmmhmm," he said putting on his best pouting face.

"Well, it's almost six, it'll wear off soon," she said kissing him on the nose.

He smiled and they walked to their dorm and sat down on the couch.

Ginny was reading something for Ancient Ruins as Draco did a potion's essay when he jumped up happily looking for the mirror.

He ran into the other room and a very loud whooping sound could be heard and he ran back in with the right color hair and pale skin.

Beaming he sat back down wrapping his right arm around Ginny's waist, being left-handed he finished his essay.

After they finished their homework Ginny curled into Draco sighing happily.

"We need a T.V. here," she said randomly.

"Yeah we do."

"Huh? How do you know what a T.V. is?"

"I live with muggles now in America during the summer, well, at least I did over this summer. Got these there too," He said smiling showing his braces.

"Ah, I was wondering where you got those." She said smiling.

"Yeah, they brought me to some torture chamber and put these metal torture items on my teeth."

She rubbed his lower back and snuggled against him.

"I'm going to go take a shower," Ginny said kissing Draco on the cheek then standing up and heading to their room to get her stuff.

She walked into the Prefect's bathroom and immediately turned on the shower to mostly hot and walked over to her Wizarding CD player and put in her Sugarcult CD and blasted it.

She danced her way over to the shower singing with the song and slowly undressed then stepped into the shower letting the hot water fall over her body.

She loaded her hand with shampoo and slid it through her hair getting it in deep then she threw her hair back and washed it out. Next she loaded up her bath pouf with exfoliating bath gel and she washed away any feeling of stress or any horrible feeling as she completely relaxed as she finished up her shower.

She stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her body. She walked over to the mirrors and sinks and began brushing her teeth. Flicking her wand her hair became instantly dry and thinned just like she liked it.

Throwing on some pajama pants she discarded the towel and walked back to the mirror and smiled at herself before walking back into the room to see Draco standing in front of the mirror hand moving quickly up his length head thrown back in pleasure. He heard a tiny 'eep'.

He turned around abruptly and fell in a tangle of his pants.

He looked up at her with a faint tinge of pink rising in his face.

"Umm...I can explain...I-I-I."

"It's okay," she said helping him up.

Laughing to herself she crawled into the bed with him and wrapped her arms around him and putting her head on his chest.

"Oh my Gawd Draco! I'm so excited for the dance!" Ginny called from the bathroom as they got themselves ready.

Ginny was in the bathroom while Draco was in his room. Draco thought he'd try something out that he thought looked good on him once. For a dare in 4th year, Blaise told him to put on eyeliner, well he did and he and everyone else thought he looked absolutely gorgeous in it. So he put on this steely gray eyeliner on his bottom eyelid and smiled at his reflection, as his eyes seemed to have gotten bigger.

Ginny was busy putting on soft colored make-up grinning like mad. She finished putting on her costume and told Draco that she was going to head up to the West Tower and would meet him there.

He grinned and finished up and threw on his costume and closed up the dorm and headed to the West Tower as well.

Once he got there, there were tons of people waiting at the tower to get in.

At 8:15 sharp a wall slid open and the dance began.

The tower was set up exactly like a club. There was a bar, cages and strobe lights everywhere. The music was pounding the minute the dance started and Draco walked around looking for his angel.

Ginny was on the other side of the room looking for Draco while dancing to the "Rhythm Is A Dancer".

Draco spotted his beautiful angel and walked over to her. Walking up behind her he placed his hands on her hips and they swayed together.

Ginny could tell who it was the moment she leaned back and felt the metal shoulder plate.

The song ended and played one of Ginny favorite artists, Shania Twain.

Ginny turned to Draco with a grin plastered to her face.

Draco looked at her quizzically never having heard "That Don't Impress Me Much" before.

Ginny started singing along with the song slowly backing Draco up against a wall.

"So your Brad Pitt," she said with sass.

"Who's Brad Pi—"She pressed her finger to his lip and he opened it taking her hand and sucking on her finger.

Her eyes misted over then she shook her head, "Don't distract me," she said with a grin and continued the song.

Draco finally hit the wall just as the song was ending but Ginny stepped closer until she was a mere inch from his face and when the song ended she softly pressed her lips to his.

He deepened the kiss holding her close to his body and opening her mouth with his tongue getting into an intense battle with her tongue.

They finally broke for air and Ginny rested her head on his chest as a slow song came on.

Draco pulled her back out onto the floor and rested his hands on her lower back while her hands went around his neck and started playing with the small hairs there. She rested her head back on his chest and they moved as one as Draco, not realizing it, sang softly to Ricky Martin's "She's All I Ever Had" that had started up.

Ginny listened to his soft tenor voice and smiled softly.

He looked down at Ginny resting her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat against the metal that he wore and smiled when she looked up into his eyes and sang "And when I look into her eyes. It's the way I feel inside, like the man I want to be she's all I ever need."

Her eyes softened and she stood up on her toes and kissed him passionately. They kissed through the rest of the song and then decided to sit for a bit.

Draco and Ginny walked to the bar where Ginny ordered a screwdriver and Draco ordered a Heineken they walked back to table both with their drinks in hand.

Draco sipped his beer and watched the writhing bodies on the dance floor.

"Nice turn out huh?"

"Yea, looks like everyone showed up," Ginny said with a smile.

Someone crept out of the darkness and smacked Draco in he back of the head with a bat and he was knocked unconscious.

Ginny screamed but her mouth was covered up so nobody would notice and she was brought out of the Tower and into a smaller room.

She looked up at her captor and gaped.

"Ron?" She said confused.

"What the hell are you doing with him!?" Ron shouted.

"I love him!" she said her temper rising.

"What!? It's Malfoy!" He yelled his face getting red.

"I don't care! He's not who you think!"

"The hell he's not! He's only trying to get you into bed!"

"Ron, we've been going out for like a month now, and I've been staying with him, in his bed and he hasn't tried anything!"

"You've WHAT!" Ron shouted getting extremely close to Ginny's face and trapping her against the wall.

She shoved him back slapped him hard, "Don't you ever get in my face again, Ronald Irvin Weasley!"

"Listen here Ginerva Emily Weasley! You're not going to see him again!"

"The hell if I'm not! I'd like to see you stop me!"

"Is that a challenge baby sister?"

"I am not your baby sister!"

"Yes you are,"

"I am not a baby Ron, I can take care of myself!"

"Yea, uh huh."

"You know what Ro—Weasley, I'm out of here," she said storming off to go find Draco.

He wasn't there and someone told Ginny that he was taken to the hospital wing.

She ran past the room where Ron was and he shot out his hand to stop her.

"What? I have to go! I swear to God if you hurt him too badly, I'll kill y—"

Ron brought her into a hug. She hugged him back.

"Alright, I forgive you."

"But if he hurts you I'll—"

"Yea, yea I know you'll kill him, right," she said giving her brother a kiss on the cheek before running to the hospital wing.

She ran to Draco's bedside and held his hand.

He was awake and had a bandage around his head and his arm was connected to a muggle IV.

She hugged him and kissed him softly.

Madame Pomfrey came to shoo her out but Ginny insisted that she stayed and put up a huge fight and finally got to stay.

She sat down again and put her head on Draco's stomach where Draco began playing with her hair. She smiled and kissed him softly and watched him slowly drift asleep.
