Part VI: Let The Games Begin
Ginevra sat silently at the Gryffindor Table staring at the empty plate in front of her, waiting for the Sorting to end. Her stomach growled immensely and she was desperate for the delicious food the house elves at Hogwarts always served. God damn it, hurry up with the Sorting and let me eat!
Ginevra was trying very hard to not to look up and meet the eyes of Draco Malfoy. She didn't know why he had even kissed her, right after he had insulted her, but then again she had insulted him right back. He wasn't that bad of a kisser actually, now she knew why all the girls that had gotten a taste of Draco always came back in high spirits and saying that Draco was one hell of a snog.
Ginevra was so caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed one of her only friends calling her name several times.
Her head shot up and turned to look at the girl calling her. It was Isabella Thorpe. She had straight brown hair that rested softly at her shoulders and remarkable blue eyes. Her body was developed at a very early age, which made her one of the only girls that the boys wanted to date in the last year.
"Finally Gin, it only took about me calling you 500 times," her friend Isabella teased, "what's up?"
Ginevra gave a weak smile to her friend, "Nothing Isa, nothing at all."
Isabella raised an eyebrow at her friend, "Sure about that Gin?"
Ginevra nodded her head in response, "Yeah, I'm just tired that's all and bloody hungry! Where the hell is Dumbledore, doesn't he know people want to eat?"
Isabella laughed, "Honestly Ginny! Oh anyways, did you see Draco Malfoy? He is one hell of a chunk of meat don't you think? He has most definitely changed."
Ginevra's eyes widened. "You can't be joking; he's still a scrawny little thing, Isa." That is so not true Ginevra, he's anything but scrawny. With his thick muscular legs and rippling muscles on his chest… you're still calling him scrawny?
Isabella looked at Ginevra as if she was from another planet. "Are you insane Ginny?" Isabella cast her eyes on Draco, and then back to Ginevra, "that boy over there is NOT scrawny."
Ginevra rolled her eyes, "Okay maybe he isn't scrawny but he's practically a Death Eater in training."
"Maybe and maybe not," Isabella replied in a matter of fact voice.
"Whatever Isa," Ginevra simply replied.
She looked up at the High Table and noticed that the Sorting had ended when Kate Zane was made a Ravenclaw. Dumbledore had risen from his seat to overlook the students. He began his annual speech with a twinkle in his eyes, "Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, may it be your very first scary year or your last and memorable year here, this will be a term to remember," his voice then became quiet and somber while his eyes darkened, "as you all know the Ministry has refused to believe that Lord Voldemort (many students flinched) has risen to power once again and is only bidding his time. Because of that, I have proposed a new curfew for the students. Instead of the usual 10 pm curfew it will now be 8:30 pm." Dumbledore stopped to let the students whisper in anger about the new curfew. Many of them still believed that Voldemort was as good as dead and rotting away somewhere and it wasn't necessary for the shortened curfew, Isabella was one of them.
"I can't believe that old wanker Dumbledore, You-Know-Who is gone, we should have an extended curfew instead of a shortened one," Isabella complained, "how am I suppose to meet Terry now?"
Virginia rolled her eyes. Friend or not, Isabella could be a total idiot at times. Ginevra was one of the very few people that believed the Voldemort was alive and just waiting for the perfect time to attack.
Her gaze rested on Harry, Hermione and Ron. Ron and Hermione were listening and looking at Dumbledore with immense concentration while Harry had a worried look on his face. It was well known that the three of them were in the Order of the Phoenix; a group devoted to see Voldemort's downfall.
After a few short minutes and whispers Dumbledore continued. "I know that some of you may still not believe that he has risen back to power, but I can assure you he has. But Hogwarts is still the safest place to stay in, so there is no need to pack your bags and go back home."
Dumbledore paused once again to look over the students, they were all silent. "Now on to the next announcement, I'd like to announce to you the new Head Girl, Hermione Granger and the new Head Boy, Draco Malfoy."
There were many surprised whispers and gasps among the Great Hall. Who would've thought that Draco Malfoy was going to be Head Boy. Everyone had thought it was going to be Harry, Ginevra was one of them.
"I can't believe Malfoy got Head Boy, I guess that means he isn't a little suck up," Ginevra started, "he actually works for his grades." She looked over at Draco for a split second, and saw that he had a triumphant smirk on his face.
Isabella nodded eagerly. "I know, I always thought Harry would get the position. I can't say I feel sorry for Hermione though, she gets to spend all that alone time with him."
Ginevra gave Isabella a scowl.
"What?" Isabella asked in surprise.
But before Ginevra could spat out a nasty comment, Dumbledore had continued. "Now, I'd like you all to enjoy the feast and dig in," he sat back down and started eating the food magically appearing on the plate.
Ginevra hungrily and greedily ate the food in front of her. Isabella looked at Ginevra with a shocked expression. Ginevra didn't notice until she piled her third helping of mashed potatoes on her plate that Isabella was gaping at her.
"What?" Ginevra irritably asked, "I'm hungry you know."
Isabella shook her head, "You know if you continue eating like that, you'll lose that pretty figure of yours."
Ginevra snickered, "Whatever Isabella."
Ginevra looked straight across from her and saw Draco talking with Blaise Zabini. Jealousy raged through her body for no apparent reason. Get a grip Ginevra, you aren't even his girlfriend, you have no right to be jealous. Her mind argued with her, but the jealousy was obviously still there. She looked away before Draco could even look at her.
The night continued with small chitchat between Isabella and Ginevra. But most of the evening went by with Ginevra thinking about a person that would be considered forbidden to her. When she had finished her chocolate mousse Ginevra looked up to see Draco getting up and making his way out of the Great Hall. Ginevra thought that this was the perfect opportunity to talk to him, whether he liked it or not. She made an excuse about being tired to Isabella before departing. Ron and Hermione didn't seem to notice that she was leaving, they were too caught up with their public affections. Harry was horribly flirting with Lavender Brown who seemed to be quite enjoying it.
Ginevra kept a safe distance away from Draco when she followed him. She had almost gotten lost when Draco had turned a corner, they were penetrating deeper into the dungeons than Ginevra had ever been before. Ginevra thought she'd better stop him now before he got into the Slytherin Common Room and she'd be lost in the dungeons. She took 3 long strides and was about to tap him on the shoulder when he abruptly turned around. His gray eyes were at first filled with rage but it then softened just a bit.
Ginevra gasped quietly so he couldn't hear her but she immediately recovered her composure, "Malfoy, can I have a word with you?"
Draco took a second of deciding before answering, "Of course Ginevra."
She was shocked to hear that he actually agreed, but was grateful at the same time. "Err…but not out here though."
Draco looked around their surroundings and answered in a suggestive tone, "We could go to my empty bedroom, since I am Head Boy I have my own."
Ginevra glared at him. "Malfoy, maybe you should starting thinking with your brain instead of your dick."
Draco merely shrugged back with a huge smirk on his face.
Ginevra took in her surroundings before replying, "Ummm…I guess we can go to the Astronomy Tower, it's pretty much empty right now."
Draco's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth sprung up into a smirk. "The Astronomy Tower eh? Didn't know you were so forward Weasley."
Ginevra's face turned into a shade of red almost rivaling her hair colour, but she regained her self-conscience and made a remark. "God Malfoy, you're such a horny little bastard!" she grabbed the cuff of his school robes and continued, "now Malfoy, we're going to go up to the Astronomy Tower."
Draco raised an eyebrow at her but nevertheless let her drag her by the cuff to the Astronomy Tower. Draco knew all too well that the Astronomy Tower was used for some hot and heavy snogging sessions. He had been there a number of times with some girls but never a girlfriend. Now that he thought about it, he had never had a girlfriend before. Yes, he went on the occasional date but he never had a relationship. Usually he'd take a girl out and shag her senseless afterwards. Draco's idea of a date was a tour of his bedroom and he'd take her right there and then. Draco smirked at his thoughts, he was happy with his life style. He knew in the future Lucius would probably have him marry some Death Eater's daughter he barely knew. Might as well enjoy what he had going on for now.
Ginevra looked at Draco. Once again he was smirking to himself and lost in his thoughts. He didn't seem to notice that she was staring at him or that they stopped walking and were at the entrance of the classroom used for Astronomy.
She sighed in exasperation. "Malfoy! Malfoy, we're here."
Draco blinked at Ginevra and regained himself. "What, what'd you say?"
Ginevra rolled her eyes at him, "I said that we're here Malfoy, it was about time you got out of your dream world."
Draco gave her the evil eye and simply replied, "I was not in my own dream world Weasel."
Ginevra rolled her eyes once again and murmured, "Whatever."
She then opened the unlocked door and went in the Tower, Draco followed suite. Ginevra walked into the center of the room and stood in front of a desk while Draco made himself comfortable and sat on one of the desks in front of her.
"Well Weasley, I don't have all night," he said, "what'd you want to talk about?"
Ginevra stood uncomfortably in front of him. She didn't exactly know how to put in words what she wanted to ask him. She didn't want to be out in the open and catch him by surprise. But then again, he didn't want him to see her as the shy and quiet Ginny Weasley. Draco's voice rang her out of her thoughts.
"Come on Weasley, I have places to be," he said impatiently.
"Okay Malfoy, you want to know why I brought you up here?" Ginevra scowled, "I brought you here because I want to know what the hell possessed you to kiss me in the carriage."
Draco looked at her stunned. To be honest, Draco didn't know why he kissed her either. It just seemed like it was the perfect opportunity to shut her up with her constant bickering. Draco noticed that Ginevra was still staring at him but she seemed to have taken one step closer to him. He looked at her carefully. She was obviously infuriated, but to Draco she looked absolutely radiant. She looked most beautiful when she was angry. Her eyes filled with rage and for almost a moment he saw desire behind her chocolate brown eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Her rose bud lips were parted and looked perfectly kissable. Suddenly an idea came to him, he smirked. He stood up and made his way towards Ginevra. He towered over her and immediately intimidated her.
Ginevra narrowed her eyes at Draco and took a few steps back until she hit the desk. Draco advanced on her until his body was pressed against hers slightly.
Ginevra bit her lip, "Malfoy what the fuck do you think—"
For the second time in the day, Draco Malfoy had taken any words that she wanted to say out of her mouth. His lips eagerly planted on hers with as much want and desire that he had been feeling for the last few minutes. Ginevra's eyes widened in shock when she felt his lips on hers once again. She really did hate it when he kissed her. Well not exactly, but whenever he kissed her, she could never think properly and that would lead to her wanting more of Draco.
Draco wrapped an arm around her waist and fisted his hand into her silky ringlets, reveling on how soft it felt. Ginevra snaked her arms around Draco's neck and began to kiss back with ferocity. Draco smirked when he felt her kiss back with much eagerness.
He pulled back to breathe but that didn't stop him from planting soft kisses on her face, jaw line and neck. Ginevra moaned his name gently before throwing her head back to give Draco better access. He kissed, licked, sucked and bit on one side of her neck. He left plenty of love bites that would be very difficult to conceal.
Draco noticed that they were in a very unpleasant position. He was practically pushing her into the desk and her knees looked quite uncomfortable. He decided to do something about it. Draco gently pushed her down onto the desk while he climbed on top of her and continued with his business. Ginevra didn't seem to mind at all, instead she pulled Draco away from her neck and placed her lips on his once again. Draco was surprised at Ginevra's impatience, but there was no time to question that at the time.
The kiss that they shared next was much more rough and demanding than the chaste one before. Ginevra parted her lips against his letting his tongue dive into her mouth once again. Ginevra made a sound that she knew would've made her resemble a crimson sunset (A/N – Yes, thank you to Mystique for suggesting the metaphor) if she wasn't so intoxicated by the desire she had for him at the moment.
Draco's hands roamed across her body freely. He decided that the robe was too much of a nuisance and he rid of it immediately. She was still dressed in the white top she wore when she was on the train and the tight jeans. He continued his business of trying to mesmerize her body using only his hands. One of his hands went under her shirt to cup her lacy bra while the other was stroking her thigh and trying to go higher.
Ginevra moaned louder when she felt something getting harder by the second on her thigh. But before they could continue even more, something wet seemed to have exploded on the both of their heads. Draco got off of Ginevra immediately and found himself drenched with water. Draco immediately got off of Ginevra. The pair looked up and saw Peeves.
"Ooh an ickle Gryffindor with her Slytherin beau. Shouldn't you two be in your Common Rooms right now?" Peeves asked in his usual annoying voice.
"Get out Peeves," Draco said in a voice that would make grown men cry, "Or the Bloody Baron will have your arse for this."
Peeves sneered at them before flying through the wall.
Draco turned his attention back to Ginevra once again. Her white shirt was completely soaked and as you know when a white shirt was wet you could see through it. Draco was quite enjoying the view when he noticed that she was gathering her robe.
Draco stepped in front of her, "Where do you think you're going Weasley, I do believe we have some unfinished business to attend to."
"Go fuck a tree Malfoy," she replied maliciously.
"I'd rather it be you," he drawled.
Ginevra glared at him angrily, "You're such an ass. Why the did you kiss me? Oh and why did you kiss me on the carriage?"
Draco smirked and wiped the coral lipstick off of his lips with the back of his hand. "Because dear sweet Virginia, actions speak louder than words."
Ginevra looked at him with bewilderment, "What is that suppose to mean?"
He smirked at her once again, "Because I could Ginevra, because I could."
She looked at him in confusion. "Because you could? What the fuck? You're saying that you kissed me because you could?"
He nodded. "I just gave you some hard core evidence that I could Ginevra."
Ginevra looked fiercely at him but she knew he was right.
As if he could read her mind Draco replied, "You know I'm right Ginevra, don't try to deny it."
Ginevra was speechless and couldn't find the words to say. Ginevra was rendered speechless.
Draco finding the silence unbearable he made his way to the door but not before saying, "I know you want me Ginevra, too bad I'm a Malfoy and you're a low class Weasley." He left without a backward glance.
Ginevra stared at the door before she too made her way out.
Who the hell does he think he is? He thinks he can just snog me senseless and then say he doesn't want me. Grr…what an arrogant, egotistical, pompous git, Ginevra angrily thought to herself as she made her way up towards Gryffindor Tower.
Ginevra knew Draco was playing a game with her. A game filled with seduction, lust and wit. Oh it was a dangerous game with dangerous and surprising consequences. But when you played this game with Draco Malfoy, one couldn't be too sure.
"Well Draco Malfoy, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into," she said to herself quietly, "let the games begin."

End Notes – Oh
my. I have no idea what to say about this chapter but I hope it
wasn't too long. Sorry for the long wait, and as for the rating
situation, I'm not sure if that was full blown R but hey that's
the best I can do for now. Oh and I'm pretty sure that I won't be
able to get a chapter out each week, because in January it's exams.
I need to stop going to all the time and actually start
studying damn science. So if you're lucky I may post at the most 2
chapters, either that none or just one chapter. Who knows, depends
how much time I have. I drew way too much pictures to go with this
story in math class but I don't have a scanner so I can't show
them to you tear but hopefully, I get one soon. So once again,
PLEASE REVIEW.
