Chapter 18
Ginny and Colin talked (after he changed his clothes) and Colin apologized. After the incident though, Ginny knew it was time to get serious again. She had to talk to Draco about her plan. But of course (thanks to Dumbledore) the dream team now knew of her...identity and that she had 'special' powers. After Colin left they immediately swarmed around her.
"Ginny! Why did you never tell me that you were this Fire chick or something?" Ron complained loudly.
"It's Princess of Fire Ron!" Hermione corrected, shaking her head. Harry just looked concerned.
"We could have helped you, Gin" he said, hurt a bit evident in his voice. Ginny sighed loudly. She had wanted to avoid them knowing this, because she knew that they were going to think that she 'needed' their help to get out of it all.
"Honestly, I don't think you could've" she said.
Okay now THAT the Dream team hadn't expected to hear.
Ron spluttered a bit, Hermione just looked shocked and Harry was the only one who said something audible.
"What? Why not?" he demanded angrily. "With all the experience I've had with Voldemort, I think I know how to deal with him Ginny!"
Ginny raised her eyebrow. "Have you forgotten already Harry? Forgotten that I have spent more time in Voldemorts presence than you ever had? I fucking saw him EVERY day for two months"
She immediately regretted her outburst. She hadn't meant to go off at them like that.
"Look, I know you want to help and all, but this is something I have to do without you and with Draco"
Note to self: never mention first name of brother's enemy in front of brother himself Ginny thought as Ron's face went as red as his hair at hearing the name of his arch nemesis number one.
"Yes that's EXACTLY what I wanted to talk to you about too!"
Here is comes...step 1: how he came to the information and then step 2: the questioning of sanity Ginny thought sighing.
"I've heard that almost the ENTIRE Great Hall heard YOU speaking to Draco bloody Malfoy and him saying that you were his girlfriend!" He panted.
Bingo! step 1
"What the hell are you thinking? Are you completely insane? Mad? Nutters? You know how horrible he's behaved all of our Hogwarts years!"
There's step 2! Now probably comes all the bad things Draco has ever done, which is step 3 of course!
Indeed Ron continued. "You know how he's always trying to get us in trouble! Calling Hermione a mudblood, cheating in Quidditch and his father tried to kill you were only eleven! You know he's a Death Eater in training" He said.
And last but not least step 4: death threats and possible ways to kill, maul and maim Draco
"I swear if I find out he did anything to you, I'm gonna fucking make sure there'll never be coming little Malfoy's from his side of the Family. I'll beat him to a bloody pulp, cut all his precious hair of and ..." He continued for a while letting out a string of curses that would make Molly Weasley blush to the roots of her ears if she ever heard and would probably be washing Ron's mouth with soap for a few hours.
When Ron (finally) stopped his cursing for a second only to glare at Ginny for letting herself become involved, which such trash as Malfoy, he saw that she was gone. Hermione and Harry had gone back to the Gryffindor table.
"Where'd Ginny go?" he asked. Hermione glance up.
"Oh I think she left just as you were saying something that sounded like 'scum of the earth' and 'disgrace of a human being'.
And yes Ginny left when Draco came by and Ginny just left with him without Ron noticing. They automatically walked outside. Ginny could see at Draco's face that he didn't like the display Ron made.
"He'll calm down after a while, guess it just was a little too much to take for him" Ginny explained. Draco's reply was a small grunt.
"But let's not dwell on it, I've been thinking of this mess with Voldemort and The Final Battle" Draco became serious at once. Ginny continued. "I was thinking...from the beginning I never really had any kind of plan, just focused on getting stronger and nothing more. I guess we all expected that someday Voldemort will attack, the battle begins and we'll all hope that we win"
Draco nodded. "And you don't want to wait for that, but attack him before he attacks us" he said knowing what she was trying to say.
"Yes"
"Do you have an idea how to do that? Cuz those Death Eaters he's hiding behind won't like it if we came up and challenge him to a duel, you know"
"I know, so last night I remembered something that I read in a book" Ginny picked out the parchment where the information she had copied down was on and handed it to Draco. He took it and read it over. Whilst reading it, his eyes became wider as realisation struck him of what Ginny wanted to do. When he finished he looked back at Ginny.
"You...you want to find that book and do this?" he asked astonished.
"Yes, but no time for that now, because we have classes" She grabbed his hand and they eagerly entwined their fingers.
Together they walked into charms and sat next to each other. Pansy, who was sitting before them, next to Blaise turned around and said:
"Hey! Congrats on letting the whole school know about you two" she said. Blaise joined the conversation.
"You mean the whole school knowing about the two of them dating or the whole school knowing about them being the two people destined to defeat the greatest evil of the face of earth?" he said sarcastically. Pansy swatted him on the arm.
"The dating thing of course"
"Ahum" sounded the voice of the charms professor. "Miss Parkinson and Mister Zabini, I'd appreciate it if you didn't have your backs turned at the class I'm teaching here and would pay a little attention."
Both of the aforementioned students turned around and grinned cheekily. "Of course Professor Flitwick, we'll pay attention Professor Flitwick!"
The small professor was a bit thought of ignorant by most students, but this time he caught the mocking tone of the Slytherin.
"Oh, then you must certainly know what charm is used for making a wizard or witch believe that there are spiders crawling all over his or her body?"
Blaise replied...sort of. "Uh..."
"I'll take that as a no?"
"Nope, no idea professor" Pansy answered.
"Yes that could be, because I only mentioned it a few minutes ago and never said the name of the charm. If you would've paid attention you'd know this" And with that he turned to the rest of the class. "And who DOES know the name of this particular charm?...hmm...Miss Weasley do you know?"
"Spidèro" Ginny said lazily.
"Hmm...Very good, 5 points to Gryffindor and now..."
Class ended without any other disturbances and soon training with Cassie began for Draco and Ginny. Even though Ginny had been having training longer with Cassie (not to mention Voldemort) Draco could keep up pretty good. Just the control of his Ice power needed a little work, but of course that would be straightened soon, now that Ginny was helping too.
After training, both of them were wrecks. Going back to Draco's room Ginny plopped on the king-sized bed of Draco.
"God, I'm beat"
"Yeah me too"
They lapsed into silence, a comfortable one. Draco turned his head to look at Ginny, who was just lying and staring up to the ceiling. He admired her beauty. From all the martial arts fighting, and the rest of the training, her hair was a bit of a mess. Her clothes were nothing special; just a white blouse and an old pair of jeans. But to Draco, she was breathtaking.
Ginny, sensing a pair of eyes on her also looked at Draco. Draco grinned and leaned in. Just before their lips were about to touch he whispered: "You look beautiful" Ginny snorted with laughter.
"That's funny, after this training, I must look like a fright!" Draco kissed her passionately. After a few minutes they pulled back. "To me..." he said."You look like the most amazing, beautiful woman I've ever met!"
Ginny looked in his eyes and saw his sincerity. Again they kissed, more fervently then ever before. They were all over each other and after a while Draco began unbuttoning Ginny's blouse. Everything was done with the utmost gentleness. Nothing was rushed and they savoured every moment their lips touched. Every inch of their skins was remembered. Draco looked Ginny in the eyes.
"Are you sure about this Ginny? You can back of anytime you want to" But Ginny didn't want to back of. As a reply she kissed him. "I love you Draco and your love is all I need" Happiness spread through Draco's body. "I love you too, Ginny!"
And with that they had a night of passion, a night of love, a night they will always remember...
