A/N- don't you feel special- its another chapter in one day! newho, on with the story

Ch.4

Gin woke up the next morning with a strong arm around her. She in turn had her arms a firm muscular guy. Nothing like waking up on a nice sunny day in a hot guy like Brandon's arms. She thought dreamily. Hold up- Sun plus Brandon equal bad fucking shit. That means... her head shot up, but her body was held down by the strong arm. She opened her eyes. "Malfoy?! What the fuck are you doing in my bed? Screw that," bad choice of words, "What the hell are you even doing still in my room?"

"Well, good morning to you too, sweet heart." He said opening his eyes.

"Malfoy, don't fuck with me right now," she said.

"That's not what you said last night," he whispered. His hand gently traced down her spine giving her little trails of chills even through the fabric of her shirt.

"Get over yourself, Malfoy. I know I sure as hell didn't have sex with you last night."

"You never know," he said with a smirk. "The last thing I remember clearly was you giving me some whiskey, some blinding pain, and crawling into bed with you."

She turned on her back to look at him and froze when he began tracing circles on her stomach, slowly bringing her shirt higher. She noticed he didn't have a shirt on.

"Malfoy, the last thing I remember was you sleeping in the chair, me going to bed, then you waking me up to move over; I don't think anything happened between us."

"What? You were just going to leave me in the chair?"

"Yeah," she stopped his hand just as it was about to go up her shirt. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, removing his hand. Before he could answer, she said, "Listen, I'm late for Charms, so you should go."

"Okay."

"Hey, Malfoy? Please don't tell anyone about this."

"About what?"

"About Brandon and my room."

"Just as long as you don't tell anyone about you saving my arse in the Forbidden Forest."

"Deal." She replied as he put on his boots and shirt.

By the time Draco had left, she had gotten a shower, and she had gotten ready, she had missed charms almost completely. I'll just tell Dumbledore that with everything that had happened last night, I slept a little late; besides, it's not exactly a lie. Having missed breakfast, she regretted not having time to go to the kitchens. Wouldn't want to be late for my first day of potions.

Standing with her robe open, revealing a tight dark green tank top and a black skirt, she waited outside the potions classroom. She clicked the heels of her black boots on the stones while waiting for the 6th years to finish in the class.

Colin was the last one out as the class left, but he stopped as soon as he saw Ginny. "Hey, Gin-Gin. How'd last night go?"

"Could have been better, but I did get to see Brandon." She replied. The seventh years were starting to go into the classroom. "I'll tell you about it later."

"Have fun in there," Colin said before turning down the hallways.

"Yeah, fun," she muttered entering the classroom and taking a seat in the very back. The Slytherins sat on one side, and the Gryffindors on the other. The Trio came in and saw Gin at their usual table.

"Um, Gin, I think your class is over," Ron said quietly.

"Actually," she began.

"She's in the right class." That familiar drawl finished for her.

She turned to glare at Draco.

"But she's not in seventh year." Ron said, obviously confused.

"Nevertheless," Snape said while entering his classroom, "she has proven herself smart enough for this class." He sat at his desk as the dream team stood gaping at Gin.

She was getting really uncomfortable because of their stares, and was almost relieved when Snape said, "You will need to choose your partners and take your seat within the next five minutes."

Ron and Harry were obviously partners, and Hermione was partners with Neville in hopes of keeping him from loosing too many points from Gryffindor. Ginevera looked around for someone she recognized, when Snape said, "Miss Weasley, I have already arranged for your partner to be Mr. Malfoy; please join him at the front of the class."

Neither student looked very happy with the arrangement, but there was nothing they could do about it. Gin grabbed her stuff and moved up by Malfoy.

"Don't worry, he doesn't bite." The boy sitting behind her said.

She turned and smiled at Blaise, one of Slytherin's Sex Gods.

"Dumbledore has arranged for this period to be used to get to know your fellow classmates. That does not mean you will get out of an assignment; you and your partner will have to spend tonight and tomorrow night working on an essay about the effects of Vampiric blood in potions and in the human blood stream."

Gin looked at Malfoy. I suppose he'll want me to do all of the work; it's not like I don't already know all of this anyways.

Draco turned to see her staring at him, and noticed the way she bit on the edge of her lower lip when she was thinking. You'd almost think she was doing that on purpose.

Meanwhile, Snape was still speaking, "Seeing as most of you already know your partners, you will be in groups of four with another table." Snape assigned tables to work together for the next ten minutes, and Draco and Ginny ended up being with Blaise and Thomas. I'm surrounded by Slytherin males; I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, Gin thought.

Snape made each student take a drop of a less potent truth serum.

"Fill out these forms about people from you group; no one else will see the answers." Snape handed everyone papers before returning to his desk.

The groups formed small circles on the floor. Gin's group was far away from most of the others.

Reading from his paper, Blaise asked, "So, Ginny, what's you favorite hobby?"

"Uh, I guess I like to read." She replied.

"Surely you like doing something more interesting than that?" Thomas asked suggestively.

Draco cast her a meaningful look when the others weren't looking reminding her he knew what her extra curricular activities were, even if none of the others would ever guess correctly.

"Well, I do like to practice my fighting techniques," she said.

"Oh, so you like things to get a little rough?" Blaise said.

Noticing Draco's smug face she said, "It's always more fun that way."

Draco tried not to gape at her. She had no idea what she's getting into; this could be fun.

"So, Malfoy, what about you?" she asked. He realized he hadn't been paying attention.

"Yeah, Draco, what do you like doing in your spare time?"

"Drawing."

"Really?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, you should see his sketchbook." Blaise said; he was one of the few people to actually see Draco's sketchbook.

I wonder what he draws, Ginny thought, maybe I'll let him see my sketchbook sometime.

Everyone filled in the blank for that question. Things continued in this manner until the last few questions.

"What is something not many people know about you?" Thomas read aloud.

"I like redheads," Blaise said.

Playing along, Gin smiled. "Just as long as you don't tell me you're into my brothers, I'll be okay."

Draco smirked and Thomas gagged. "Okay, to get away from that disturbing mental image, I guess it's my turn." Thomas said.

Everyone waited for him to continue.

"I, um, well, I'm a virgin." He said.

Everyone looked at him in shock.

Feeling bad for him, Ginny said, "I guess it's my turn. I have a thing for guys with lip rings." She admitted.

Blaise looked at her with raised eyebrows, "So you're a little kinky- I can deal with that." He turned to Draco, "So, mate, what's something people don't know about you?"

There's a lot people don't know about me. "I never screwed Pansy."

Blaise was the only one who wasn't surprised. "Okay, next question. What's something you really fear?"

"Dieing a virgin," Thomas said.

"My family," Blaise said.

"Hurting someone innocent," Gin said quietly. Blaise, who was sitting beside Ginny, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. He noticed Draco move closer to Ginny too. They all remembered her first year.

Gin didn't know what to do, but she was pretty sure Blaise was only trying to be comforting. She looked at Draco, who was a little closer to her. "What about you?"

"Never being loved for who I am." Blaise released Gin, and she moved towards Draco. She rested her head on his shoulder. I never thought he'd admit something like that. I guess we're all saying a lot of things we normally wouldn't. It's strange how we all just seem to trust each other.

"Last question," Thomas said, "What's something you've always wanted?"

"A lifetime supply of chocolate." Blaise said.

"To go to America," Thomas said, "oh, and to screw some chic," he added.

"To learn to drive a muggle car," Draco said.

"Everyone sure is full of surprises today," Thomas said. "Well Gin, you're the only one left, what's you answer?"

"I've always wanted a tattoo."

Draco looked amused. "What kind?"

"I don't know." She said, even though she did.

Their papers disappeared and Snape dismissed the class.

Blaise, Thomas, and Draco stayed behind while Gin put up her stuff. "What?" she asked, noticing their intent stares.

"You have a free hour, right?" Blaise said.

"Yeah, why?"

"Would you like to join us in the kitchens?" Draco asked.

You've already been closer to them than you ever thought you'd be, why not? She told herself. "Sure," she said. She followed them out, and noted the surprised looks of the Golden Trio and the not so surprised look from Snape.
