Chapter 3 After Curfew

"5 points from Hufflepuff for being out after curfew." Draco's cold voice echoed down the corridor. "Back to your dorm, now."

"Yes, Malfoy." Ginny watched the first year boy shake before he scurried off down the hallway. She'd borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak to follow Draco on his rounds. She shook her head before slipping the invisibility cloak off and hiding it behind her back.

"And how many points will you take from Gryffindor?" She asked softly as she walked up behind him.

"Ginny!" Draco whirled around. "Where did you come from?"

"Just over there." She pointed around the corner.

"Were you using Harry's cloak?" Gray eyes looked at her narrowly.

"What's it to you?" She tilted her chin up defiantly.

"I will take points, it is after curfew." Draco glared down at her. "I don't show favoritism."

"Mmm…I'd expect nothing less from the Head Boy." Ginny moved closer, brushing against Draco. "Would I lose more points if I mentioned I was out, after curfew, because I was meeting a boy in the Astronomy Tower?"

"What? Who are you meeting there?" Draco asked sharply, jealousy edging his words. "If it's that Irish git Finnegan, I'll –"

"My lips are sealed. I wouldn't want to get him into trouble." Ginny trailed her hand down Draco's chest, listening as Draco's breath hitched. "And I don't want to be late." She took off running down the corridor to the Astronomy Tower. She knew he would follow her.

Barely a moment after she'd arrived, she felt his arms pull her back against his chest. "Ten points from Gryffindor right now, unless you tell me who you're meeting here." Draco growled as he nipped at her earlobe.

"Never, I'll never tell." Ginny pressed backwards, earning her a gasped moan from the aroused Head Boy.

"Baby girl, you better tell me right now or I'll…"

"You'll what?" Ginny turned in his arms to gaze up at him.

"I won't kiss you."

"You won't?" Ginny licked her bottom lip teasingly.

"No." Draco said firmly.

"No?" Ginny's tongue flicked out and licked at Draco's lips.

"No." Draco's voice was now a husky whisper as his gray eyes gazed down at Ginny lovingly.

"You." Ginny sighed as she wound her arms around Draco.

"Me?" Draco tilted his head quizzically.

"That's who I'm meeting, you." She tilted her head back and closed her eyes. "I told you. Now you can kiss me."

Draco swiftly brought their lips together for a kiss. Sighing with contentment, Ginny gathered fistfuls of Draco's robes in her hands as she fought to stay standing. Her knees turned to jelly as her stomach fluttered. Gasping for air, they finally parted.

"Only one more month of meeting in the Astronomy Tower. What will I do next year without you?"

"You won't be losing house points for being out after curfew." Draco answered coolly.

"You're not really going to take points, are you?" Ginny pouted and batted her eyelashes. Draco stared down at her, a cold sneer on his face. "Oh, Malfoy, please." She stroked her hand down his arm, watching closely as the gray eyes heated up for a moment before hiding behind the mask again. "Well, if you're going to be like that, I guess we won't be going to Hogsmeade together tomorrow."

"Ginny, I'm not going to show favoritism. I've had a hard enough time this year with everyone thinking I'm still a bigoted snob, I can't not take points from my girlfriend."

"So you said." Ginny responded calmly. "How many points?"

"Uh." Draco paused. "Five?"

"Are you asking for my approval?" Ginny tried to keep the smile from showing on her face but she wasn't totally successful.

"No. Five. I meant five. Five. Period." Draco's cheeks tinted pink.

"I can live with five. Now be nice to me and we'll go to Hogsmeade together."

"Um…you look very pretty." Draco's hand brushed over her hair.

"That'll do." Ginny smiled.

"Ginny."

"Draco."

"I like you a lot."

"I like you a lot too." She reached up on tiptoe to kiss him briefly. "Now, I better get back to my dorm before some other prefect sees me and docks points too."
