Chapter 9

"Mr. Malfoy, this burn is quite bad but you don't have to stay in for the night. Just be careful that any liquid does not go on this palm."

Madam Pomfrey had no patients so she was able to get to Malfoy immediately. She had just finished applying some liquid on Malfoy's palm and had gone back to her office to get her wand, so that she could put a spell on his palm. Ginny and Draco were in complete silence trying to look anywhere but directly at one another.

"Thanks" Ginny said finally breaking the silence between the two of them. "Madam Pomfrey told me that you bought me in here when I was unconscious yesterday. I'm grateful for that but not for what you've done."

Draco just looked at Ginny with a blank expression on his face and turned his head the other away ending her statement and bringing back the silence. Madam Pomfrey returned from her office and put a charm on Draco's palm to keep it dry and stop his skin from cracking again.

On their way back to the classroom, Ginny kept thinking to herself,

"What a prat! I tell him thanks for he does and doesn't have the courtesy to do the same. He's an ass and a Malfoy. I actually shouldn't be expecting anything from him to begin with."

Ginny shrugged herself and entered the classroom, beginning to clear up the Fernium and the rest of potions. She was surprised when Malfoy began helping her clear up the rest of the potions.

It was 8 o'clock by the time all the potions had been stacked up into their right places. Professor Snape wasn't supposed to be back for another half an hour.

Ginny began washing her hands under the tap and was too preoccupied to realise that Draco was standing close behind her. Too close.

Ginny turned around and jumped to see a pair of grey eyes peering into hers. Draco was about a feet taller than her and Ginny helplessly couldn't look anywhere but straight at his lips. Draco had caught her staring and saw her blush to colour of her hair. He took an opportunity to lean in.

"What the heck is he doing? What the heck am I doing letting him do this? This is wrong!"

Ginny could smell a musky scent coming from his body; he was hardly a breath away from her. Ginny closed her eyes, she knew her mind was going berserk and her will was confusing her but she also knew that she was a lot stronger and could hold back.

"Malfoy! What the…"

The rest of her words were cut off as Draco crushed his lips on top of hers. Her lips were soft and sweet and Draco was surprisingly enjoying every moment of it. Ginny was too shocked to react and realise what was happening. All she knew was that Draco Malfoys firm lips and kisses were driving her mad and trembled when he bit her bottom lip. This was different to how she kissed Terry. This was more passionate and had a mix of unexplainable emotions flowing through her.

When Draco began moving his tongue into her mouth, teasing her to part her lips, Ginny had to cling onto him as her legs were giving her away. She closed her eyes wishing this could go on forever.

Draco could see exactly what was going through her mind and chose that moment to pull away. Ginny opened her eyes slowly to see Draco giving her a calculating look that made her feel very uncomfortable.

Draco gave her a half smirk and smile and said, "That's my way of saying thanks for helping me out" he then lightly pushed her away and headed towards the classroom exit.

"By the way, I am pretty sure that we are allowed to leave if our works done, unless your just waiting around for Professor Snape to return and give you some more."

Draco walked out of the room leaving behind a very stunned Ginny. He began smiling devilishly and thinking to himself.

'Phase 1 accomplished. Let's plan out Phase 2 Draco'

As Draco Malfoy began walking down the corridor, pleased with himself he hadn't realised that a mysterious power around Ginny Weasley's neck was going to turn both their lives upside down.

Authors note: I know I know after a very long time. But lets see if I get more reviews I just might add another chapter
