Chappie 10-Lust Revealed.

"So Gin, how are the sessions with Draco going?" Gabrielle asked as they walked towards their astronomy class. It was about 11p.m. As the made their way up dozens of flights of stairs.

"Oh, they're great, the song is going really well, I had to basically re write the whole thing but it sounds great." She said as they jumped a step.

"That's great but I don't care, I actually meant how's it going with Draco?"

Ginny stopped, "That is going no where."

"Why not?" Gabrielle stopped also.

"It just... isn't. I don't think he really likes me." she turned to continue up the stairs

"What!"

She stopped again. "Yep he doesn't like me like that."

"That is a blonde faced lie."

"What?"

"Oh he is so infuriating." Gabrielle stomped up the stairs past Ginny. Ginny followed her friend who had begun to mumble to herself angrily.

They walked through the door leading to the tower and were greeted by unexpected students.

"The teachers have all gone nutters." Ginny commented.

"Blaise!" Gabrielle shrieked wrapping her legs around her boyfriend's waist and kissing him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked finally breaking away.

"Watching your class while the teachers have some oh so important meeting." He answered.

"Yay!" She held on to him, legs firmly wrapped around his waist.

Draco walked up. "Well, now I'm short handed." was all he said. He turned to Ginny. "Hey"

She smiled in return and he turned to the rest of the class. "I don't care what you do just do it quietly if I hear one peep out of you Gryffs you won't be happy." He turned back around his two best friends were on the floor Blaise was leaning against the wall with Gabrielle straddling his lap as she kissed him. Draco simply shook his head.

He looked away, his eyes automatically finding Ginny. She had made herself comfortable in another corner with a book. Every now and then she would pull something out of her bag and eat it. He checked and made sure everyone else was throughly drawn away. Most were following Gabrielle's example; the rest took Ginny's approach. So they are all the same, either they fuck or they keep it all bottled up by reading. Granger must be really frustrated. Note to self; slip a libido potion into one of Potter's drinks. He smiled at his own joke and walked over to Ginny.

"What you reading?"

"Book" was all she said not even lifting her eyes from the page.

"I can see that."

"Then why did you ask?" she looked at him then back at the book. It wasn't a very big book it didn't look like it took much of a mental capacity to read but she seemed so enthralled by the book, it must have been interesting.

"What is it called?" Draco went for a less ill defined question.

She leaned back and tilted the book so that she could read but he could read the title. 'The Silver Sword' he read to himself as she set herself right again.

"Doesn't sound very interesting"

"Well it's not, but it is. Get it?" she drew her eyes away from the book, to look up at him.

"No."

She smiled. "I mean at first it sucks and it's boring, it's about this muggle war. Anyway then it kinda gets interesting and really now I'm just reading it to find out if they make it to Switzerland." she finished.

Draco looked confused.

"Never mind, I just want to finish the book." she looked back down pulling out another piece of food.

"What are you eating?' he sat down next to her. She took notice that he was close not close enough to be forcing anything but close enough that you notice things like the way his eyes sort of glowed and reflected the starlight. She looked at him and pulled the container out of her bag, 'Bertie Botts every flavour beans'

"Eck, I can't eat those."

"Why not?"

"I keep on getting the most awful tasting concoctions."

Ginny laughed slightly. "Nah, I have a knack for picking good flavours, watch" She pulled out a bean and handed it to him. "Try it."

He eyed the brown confection; it was speckled with green pieces. "No"

"Come on"

"No"

"Just try it."

"...Um, no."

"Come on if you try this, I'll do something for you."

He raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I don't know yet but it will be fun."

"Yeah right."

"If you eat it now I'll let you pick."

He took a deep breath and placed the bean in his mouth. Dammit! She was right. She had handed him a Mint chocolate flavoured bean.

He nodded slightly. "Alright, weasel. You we're right."

"See." she lifted her book back up.

"Wait what are you going to do for me?"

"You pick remember." she didn't look up. This annoyed him.

"Give that book."

She looked at him and raised an eyebrow but handed over the piece of literature. He took it from her and got up. He then walked over to the balcony and threw the book over the edge.

Ginny was in awe. Her jaw hung open slightly, she couldn't believe he had actually done that.

"That... that was my book." she managed to force out as he walked over to her.

"Yep." he said simply.

"That wasn't even mine, it was Hermione's." she continued in the same awe filled voice.

He shrugged "Oh well Granger has enough books to last anyone a lifetime." he commented, sitting back down.

Ginny just watched him before pulling her knees to her chest and hugging herself. "So what exactly am I suppose to do now?"

He shrugged.

"You take away my only form of entertainment and have nothing to replace it with?"

"Pretty much"

She shook her head and pulled out the box of sweets. Draco looked around recalling his earlier conversation with himself about the sexual frustration among Gryffindors. Then something hit him. Ginny was always reading or writing, hell even those times she had, had a boyfriend she would always be off in her own little world. I wonder what colour the sky is there? Note to self, remember to ask. His train of thought was broken by Ginny asking him a question.

"Feeling ok?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, fine why?"

"Because the bell rang like fifteen minutes ago and we're the only ones still here."

Draco looked around. Had he been talking to himself that long, he really needed to pay more attention. He looked up at Ginny.

"So why are you still here?"

She smiled, "I wanted to make sure you didn't fall asleep up here and freeze your ass off" she offered him a hand.

"So all of this was done for the sake of my ass?"

"Pretty much." She smiled.

He took her pre offered hand and got up.

"I have to admit," she continued. "It's gotten pretty nice to look at." she smirked and waked over to the door.

Draco stood frozen for a second.

"You coming?" she asked.

He snapped out of it and walked over to her. "You know for a Gryff, you are awfully blunt."

"Thank you I think it's one of my better qualities." she smiled as they made their way down the astronomy tower steps. Towards the Gryffindor tower.

"So I'm going to see you tomorrow, right?" Ginny asked.

Draco nodded. "Yeah."

She smiled. "Good I'd hate not to be able to finish our song."

"Our song?"

"Yeah," she stopped in front of the tower entrance. "Well I didn't write it all, you did help so I refuse to take all the credit, that's plagiarism."

"Our song." he repeated.

Ginny smiled. "Draco, I don't know why I'm telling you this but, I'm really glad I got to know you, I mean I like you... and I didn't mean what I said in the dungeons that day, I don't think you're a shallow son of a bitch."

"But you think I'm self centered and egotistical?"

"Yes"

Draco chuckled. "I can live with that." he said mostly to himself.

Ginny watched him. "Remind me to add awfully odd to my list of things I think about you."

"You add things to the list? You have a list?"

"Yep."

He thought for a second and the smirked. "What else have you added to the list?" he said flirtatiously.

Ginny smiled. "Well, smart, creative, great ass," she stepped closer to him with each word.

Their faces were inches apart from each other, Draco was about to lower his head when...

"Either kiss her or leave, it's after curfew and she shouldn't be lollygagging with the likes of you."

Ginny blushed furiously and turned to face the portrait of the fat lady who had her hands on her hips and was tapping her foot on the edge of her frame.

Ginny turned back to Draco. "I should go inside before she has a paroxysm."

Draco nodded and stepped away from Ginny. She walked over to the portrait as Draco turned and made his way to the Slytherin dungeons. Ginny glared at the portrait.

"Couldn't help yourself could you?"

She said nothing.

"Do it again you'll find yourself on the wrong end of one of Fred's incinerating quills. Arcis." The portrait reluctantly opened and Ginny walked in.


Gabrielle sat at a desk in the library looking over lists and lists of parchment. When someone slid into the seat across from her. She looked up and was surprised to find Luna sitting across from her tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh Luna, pumpkin seeds what is it? What's wrong?"

"He... he..."

"Who's he? Ron? Are you talking about Ron?"

She nodded.

"Luna what has he done to you? I'll kill him. Ginny will forgive later." she was standing scanning the library trying to see if he was in there.

"No, he called... he called."

Gabrielle moved next to Luna putting her arm around her friend. "What? What did he do?"

"He likes you."

"Huh?"

"He likes you"

"No he doesn't."

"Yes he does, just awhile ago we were together and he called me you."

"Luna that does mean he likes me, and besides your forgetting he hates me. And the feeling is mutual."

She shook her head. "No we were, well. And he called me you."

Gabrielle mouthed formed a small o.

"Well I don't like him back if that's what you think Pumpkin? I would never do that to you."

"I know, I just don't know what I'm going to do." Luna put her head down on the table and Gabrielle gently consoled her.


Ginny sat at the Gryffindor table, it was lunch. Luna was with them as she needed to talk to Ginny so she had decided to take a break from the Ravenclaws. Gabrielle was sitting on the other side of Luna, not speaking much.

Ginny's jaw was hanging slightly open as Luna told her what had happened.

"Oh my gosh, Pumpkin," Ginny hugged her friend. "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be Gin, you didn't do anything."

Just then the Trio entered. Ron acting and looking like nothing was wrong. They walked over taking their seats opposite the three girls. Ron looked at Luna. He opened his mouth But she just got up and left the great hall.

"What was that?" Harry asked.

"She's just been acting up lately." Ron said trying to pass this off as an everyday thing.

"You pig." Gabrielle said simply.

"What?" Hermione had just sat next to her. "Gabrielle that was uncalled for..."

"Hermione she's right he's a huge pig." Ginny said

"Ginny." Harry began.

"No Harry do you know what he did?"

Harry and Hermione were silent.

"Gin don't it was a mistake."

"Don't Gin me, Ronald."

"Gin what's going on?" Hermione asked.

"Ron called some else's name while him and Luna were together."

Harry and Hermione looked at their friend.

"That's not the half of it," Gabrielle continued.

"You little bitch don't you dare." Ron seethed.

"He called my name." she finished.

Harry and Hermione stared at their best friend in awe.

"I don't believe it." Harry said.

Hermione was still silent.

"Ron wouldn't do that, he hates you."

"That's what I said. But I'm not one to call my friend a liar."

"I'm not saying Luna is lying it's just..." he trailed off. "Ron, say something."

Ron was silent.

"Oh my gods." Hermione breathed.

Gabrielle stood up slowly leaning over the table. She spoke quietly but it seemed every time she spoke to Ron people got quite just to listen.

"Listen carefully, I hate you ok? I don't care that you're Ginny's brother. Or Luna's Boy- scratch that Luna's ex-boyfriend. I hate you and that is not going to change anytime soon and at the rate you're going it never will."

She leaned up. "I'm going to go, I don't eat with pigs." with that she turned and left the great hall.

Ginny sat there silently for awhile before she wordlessly got up and left the great hall. She couldn't believe her brother capable of that. She walked out by the lake. And sat quietly.

She had been there for at least 20 minutes when someone sat be side her.

"So what happened in there?"

She turned to Draco. "My brother's a pig who broke my best friends heart by calling her my other best friend at a very important moment, not crucial just important."

"Weasley, called Gabrielle's name while he was snogging Luna."

"Yeah."

Draco nodded. "But I thought they hated each other."

"Gabrielle does hate him, we were just wrong about him hating her."

"So all that arguing and calling her The Slytherin whore was what?"

"He called her the Slytherin whore?"

Draco nodded. "Last year, when she and Blaise became public knowledge. She cried for like a week, couldn't get her out of my room."

"I remember that but she never told me why though"

"She didn't want you being mad at your brother because of her."

"But she doesn't like him why would she care?"

"It wasn't because of him; she knows how much you love your family. She didn't want to see you hurt."

Ginny nodded Gabrielle was always doing that she would keep things from Ginny to protect her. Ginny smiled to herself. Now how was she going to protect her friend from the school when they found out that Ron liked her, and how was she going to protect Ron? He might be a pig but Blaise would kill him.

"If you need help I'm here." Draco said as he got up.

Ginny looked at him.

"I know your going to try and help Gabrielle, I'm here if you need me." with that he turned and walked back to the castle.


So that's how it ends, yeah. i'm slightly bored/depressed at this point in time so. yeah R&R.

Luv y'all
