Chapter 10 – Stuck On You – Draco
The next morning after breakfast, Blaise and I were joined in our common room by Ron, Gin, Harry, and Hermione.
Ginny and I were sitting on the floor, our backs resting against the sofa. Blaise was sitting on the sofa we were leaning on, and Ron was sitting on Blaise. Hermione and Harry were sharing the armchair, and Hermione had a large book open on her lap.
"What are you reading, Mione?" asked Ginny.
"It's a book about binding spells," she replied. "This one binds the two subjects within a five foot radius of each other. It's really interesting."
"Uh…I'm sure it is," replied Ginny.
"Huh…that's strange. The name of the spell is blotted out." She started muttering what sounded like a spell under her breath. "Huh…that's worded really weird. It almost sounds like a wandless spell." She kept reading, until her jaw dropped in apparent shock. She read aloud, "This spell does not require the use of a wand…Oh, Merlin. It can only be reversed by the wizard who cast the spell?" She turned the page frantically. Her eyes widened. She turned another page, and another. "There's no counter spell in this book!" she cried.
"Ginny, move away from Draco. I just want to make sure I didn't accidentally bind you two together."
Ginny stood up and walked easily to the other side of the room and back.
"Oh, good. And Ron? You try," she said hopefully.
Ron rolled his eyes and climbed from Blaise's lap, taking a few steps away. He stopped suddenly.
"Oh, no…" Hermione whispered.
"I can't…walk…" Ron looked as if he was pushing his leg forward with all his might, but it was not moving.
"Oh, Merlin. I'm so sorry, Ron, Blaise," she said sincerely.
Ron turned around and took a good, long look at Blaise. "I don't mind," he said, cocking an eyebrow at his boyfriend.
Blaise smiled. "Take your time finding that counter spell, Hermione," he said.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "But you have separate lessons tomorrow!" she said worriedly.
Ron looked over and Hermione and repeated, "I don't mind."
"Guess that means you're stuck sleeping in my bed, huh?" said Blaise, cocking an eyebrow.
Ron smiled suggestively. "I guess it does," he laughed.
"Oh, please," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Oh, like you wouldn't be saying the same if you were in the same situation…" Blaise grumbled.
Hermione cleared her throat loudly. "We are going to have to go to Dumbledore some time. You can't just show up at each others' classes without a reason," she said.
"No…but we could just not go to class…" said Blaise.
Clearly, this was the wrong thing to say to Hermione. "Not go to class? How could you even say something like that? You have NEWTs next year! You can't miss a lesson for such a stupid reason!"
"It's ok, Mione. Relax; Blaise was just joking, right Zabini?" Harry glared at Blaise.
"Um…yeah. Just a Joke, no need to get worked up. Ahem…" He pulled Ron back down onto his lap and started ignoring the rest of us.
"I need to find a counter spell as soon as I can," said Hermione.
"How about you enjoy a few more hours of your weekend, and then we can go to Dumbledore and let him sort it out. You don't need to worry, Mione. It's going to be fine," Harry comforted her, his hand sliding around her neck and pulling her down for a kiss.
"Feel," Ginny whispered, pressing the backs of her fingers against my cheek.
I jerked away at the shock. "Shit, your hands are freezing!"
I put her hands together and rubbed them with mine, trying to warm them.
We could hear whispering coming from behind us on the couch. We both turned around to find Ron and Blaise's noses half an inch apart as they were whispering, well, Merlin knows what to each other.
Blaise whispered something with a wicked grin on his face. Ron's eyes closed as he shuddered with apparent pleasure.
"Oh God…I do not what to know what you just said," I said to Blaise.
He kept looking at Ron for a minute before turning towards me and saying, "You sure? I could repeat it for you."
Ron's jaw dropped. "You will not!" he cried.
Blaise grinned and pressed his forehead into Ron's before kissing him hard on the lips. Ron's arms came up around Blaise's neck and pulled him close, not breaking their kiss. I turned back to Ginny.
"If I said I wanted everyone to leave so we could be alone, does that make me a bad person?" she whispered.
"Ditching your friends for sex?" I asked. "Yup…that's pretty bad."
She smacked my stomach playfully, laughing. "Oh, you're nice," she said.
"Nice was never my aim, babe. I'm evil."
She laughed. "Yeah, no kidding."
Smiling, I leaned down to kiss her lightly, when I felt Ron kick me in the back of the head.
"Oh, fuck off, Weasley," I said angrily. "I fuck your sister regularly, get over it."
"Draco!" cried Ginny, pulling out of my arms.
I scowled.
"Nice job there, mate," Blaise said unhelpfully.
Ginny got up and stormed into my bedroom. I heard the bathroom door close and lock a second later.
I glared at Ron, "Thanks a lot," and followed Ginny into my room.
