Chapter 14
"You assholes" Ginny cursed glaring at the three of them while struggling to get loose. Pansy and Blaise however would not budge.
Draco came closer and sat on his knees so close by, that Ginny could feel his breath on her face.
"Yes, it would be perfect huh, to just take you to Voldemort? Nobody'd notice it for a while" Draco stepped away and nodded to Blaise and Pansy. Both of them released Ginny.
"Wha...?" Ginny said. Why were they releasing her?
"If we wanted to Gin, we would have taken you to Voldemort...but we don't" Pansy said.
"We're your friends, we have never had any intention to take you to him" Blaise stood by Pansy.
Then Draco spoke up. "We understand that you would think so, with the letter and everything, but why don't we forgive and forget"
Ginny looked at the three of them. They could have kidnapped her easily but they didn't! She hugged the three of them.
"I'm so sorry for everything! When I read that letter, I didn't know what to think"
They hugged back. "Forgiven and forgotten everything"
The four of them went back inside at the precise moment Ron came by.
"Ginny what are you doing with them? I thought you stopped hanging out with those slime balls!" he glaring at Draco especially.
"I don't have time for this! I've got to go! Ron, keep temper down, go to Gryffindor Common Room and cool off!" Ginny said sternly.
Ron turned towards Ginny (and stopped the glaring for a bit). "Where do you need to go Ginny? I'll come with you!" he said.
"Look Ron, I hate it how you guys follow me around and stuff, besides go talk to Harry, I'm sure he needs a friend right now and tell him that I'll talk to him later"
She looked at the three Slytherins. Each of them understood perfectly that Ginny didn't want them to fight with Ron while she was away. She was going to be late if she didn't hurry up. Ginny ran down the corridor heading for the Room of Requirement when she heard somebody call out to her..
"Ginny" she looked back to see that Draco was coming.
"Yes?" tapping with her foot impatiently. He knows that she's going to be late for her training like this. What could be so important that it couldn't wait until after practice? (This was an important one; The Prince of Ice is going to be tracked down!)
Draco looked at her and stepped closer. "I've wanted to do this for such a long time...ever since the Halloween feast" he murmured in her ear. He brought his hand to her face and tucked a stray of flaming red hair behind her ear. Then he leaned in.
He touched her lips gently, but it soon changed to fervently. Ginny kissed back with as much passion as she could muster. Draco pinned her against the wall and began kissing her neck. Ginny let out a groan. Then she decided to take matters into her own and swirled Draco around until he was against the wall. She began nibbling at his ear and Draco shuddered with pleasure. Soon their lips were in contact again. Both never wanted this moment to end.
Suddenly Ginny felt sort of an electric shock going trough her and she stepped back. Draco looked at her strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I've really got to go to my training"
"Okay...but can I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"Will you...go with me to the next Hogsmeade Weekend?...Like as a date?
Ginny smiled at his nervousness. "Of course I'll go with you!"
Draco smiled too.
"Oh NOW I've really gotta go" Ginny kissed him on the cheek and ran of.
When she entered the Room of Requirement Cassie was standing there with a not so happy face. One look at Ginny's swollen lips, her dismayed face changed to a smiling one.
"You've kissed someone!" She squalled.
Ginny blushed. "Um let's just begin okay?"
They sat down on the carpet and Cassie spoke.
"Okay, you are the Fire Princess; because of this you have a special connection to the Prince of Ice. We are going to find this Iceprince using that connection."
"Okay how do I do that?"
"I don't know" came the reply.
"WHAT?" Ginny asked...or rather yelled without meaning to.
"Well, this isn't my part. This is yours. I don't know how to find him as it was never discovered. In the ancient scrolls it only says that The Princess of Fire will be able to track down the Prince of Ice when her magic (and his) is strong enough"
"I don't know how to do this!" Ginny countered.
"Well then, try something!"
So Ginny tried to visualize the Iceprince, but her mind just went off to Draco. He came up every time. It must have been that kiss...yes it was so memorable.
"It doesn't work okay, why don't I do this tomorrow?" Ginny said.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of this. Finding out what the identity of the Iceprince is very important! We all need him in order to defeat Voldemort and you know it" Cassie said getting angrier.
Ginny stood up. "Well then, I'll come back when you've found a way to try SOMETHING, because whatever it is you're trying to get me to do, isn't working" and with that she walked away.
She walked into the Gryffindor Common Room. Among others there were Hermione, Ron and Harry. Harry and Ron were playing wizard's chess and Hermione was watching. When Harry saw her, he stood up and walked over, his face solemn.
"Ginny? I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon. It's just that I realized that you're not Ron's little sister. You're Ginny, beautiful and smart and everything..."
Ginny didn't expect this!
"Uh…Harry...you're a great guy and everything, but...I already like someone...else" Ginny said gently.
Harry's face fell and Ginny hated to see him like this. "I understand...if...if you don't mind me asking...who is that someone else?"
Whoops
Ginny quickly looked at her watch. "We'll talk about this another time Harry" (yeah right, dream on) "I've gotta go, I've got a test of Herbology tomorrow and I don't know anything" She hurried upstairs to her room and let herself fall on her bed.
"Well this isn't what I had in mind at the beginning of the year" She said and fell asleep.
The next day Ginny woke up. Normally Ginny isn't a morning person, but today is Saturday! And Saturday means Hogsmeade Weekend! And Hogsmeade Weekend means DATE with Draco Malfoy! Which is the best. So today Ginny was all smiles.
Okay Problem number 1: What to wear! (Very important!)
After a LONG time and many outfits later Ginny had come up with the perfect outfit. she wanted to look good, but not TOO obvious dressed up, you know. So casual jeans, open white shoes with a small heal and straps. A black top with a little cleavage. Some make-up and POOF! Casual, yet sexy date-outfit!
An owl flew in when she was about to go to the Great Hall and eat breakfast. It was still early, because they decided to go to Hogsmeade early so that they could avoid the crowd. Ginny untied the letter from the owl and read it.
Gin,
Meet me at the lake right now
D.M.
Yep, That's Draco alright, short and to the point
Ginny went to the lake, almost unable to contain her excitement. When she reached the lake Draco was already there.
"Hey" Ginny said brightly.
"Hey, you look great!"
"Thanks, why did you want to meet here?"
Draco took her hand in his. "Come on, I want to show you something"
They walked up a hill that was nearby. When they came to the top, Ginny was very pleased at what she saw. A picnic was spread out for them on a soft blanket.
"OH I LOVE IT!" Ginny said and gave him a kiss on the lips. Draco, happy too now!
After the wonderful picnic they went to Hogsmeade.
"So where to first?" Ginny asked.
"Well, you can go wherever you want"
"Why don't we go to the Quidditch-shop first? I haven't been there in ages!"
Draco raised his eyebrow. "You like Quidditch?"
"Yeah" Ginny's face smiled in thought. "With six brothers and all of them Quidditch-crazy, how can I not? When my brothers played Quidditch, I wasn't allowed to play with them, because they said I was too young. So I always stole Ron's broom from the quidditch-shack and played when nobody saw me"
Draco laughed. "So you keep surprising me"
Ginny grinned mischievously. "This is nothing"
He raised an eyebrow. "Should I be scared?"
"You should" came the reply.
The rest of the day was wonderful. No worries, just lots of laughing (and snogging)
