The Sorting ceremony began as usual with Harry and Ron making their spectacular entrance exactly half an hour late. God, they are such prats, Ginny thought. Instead, she turned her attention to her new subject of interest: Draco Malfoy. He intrigued her beyond anthing she had ever known before. She was usually a pretty good judge of character, but he confused her beyond anything. She couldn't read him at all, unlike everyone else, he seemed to have something to hide, and he hides it well, she thought.
Draco suddenly looked up and saw the young redhead staring at him. He really had no idea of what to think of her. She'd sat with him on the train and hadn't asked a single question about his motives. She hadn't questioned, but had simply understood, and he understood her. He didn't know how, but he felt a connection with her. He'd never felt anything like this before and was astounded at the emotions she could make him feel when she looked at him.
Ginny saw him look up at her and she looked away. Why am I embarrased to be looking at him? I have every right to. She looked bck up at him, and saw him looking at her again and felt herself blush dangerously. A smile crept across his face, and Ginny blushed even harder. Why am I blushing? she thought to herself, a bit angry with herself at showing her true emotions infront of him so openly.
Draco smiled, she's blushing because I caught her looking at me. It's a bit childish, but flattering that I can do that to her so easily.
The sorting finished, and neither of the two had even paid attention to the new students sitting at their tables. They continued to look at each other, catching the gaze of one Albus Dumbledore and a Severus Snape.
I hope he knows what he's doing, thought Severus.
Well finally, destiny is calling. I wondered how long it would take, thought Albus (A/N: Dumbledore knows all!)

Draco Malfoy got up from his seat at the Slytherin table and prepared to leave the Great Hall. On his way out, he bumped into the littlest Weasly.
"Draco, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you." She stared at the ground for what seemed forever, until he brought her chin up with his hand so he could look into her eyes.
"Don't be sorry." Draco stood there looking at her for a few minutes longer, both staring into each other's eyes. To the outside audience they had accumulated, they seemed to be in a staring contest, but to one Ronald Weasly, Malfoy was seemingly harming his sister in some way.
"Malfoy! Take your bloody death eater hands off my sister!" The 'death eater' part really dtruck hard.
"For your information, Weasel, I am not a death eater." Draco pulled up his left sleave to show the onlookers. "Though, I don't see why I should have to defend nyself to you." With that, he glanced one more at the redhead with eyes that said plainly, follow me. Ginny got the hint and after some looks that could kill, she followed Draco to the dungeons.

"Draco! Don't you have to escort the first years to their dorms?"
"No, they can find it themselves."
The 'couple' continued to walk in silence until Draco suddenly stopped in front of a picture of a vampire.
" 'Omni' " Draco said to the portrait and it swung aside to reveal a beautiful mahogany door with inscriptions along the edges. Ginny couldn't quite make out the inscription as Draco pulled her inside the door. It wasn't until she was in the room and Draco had cast protective wards to shield them from outsiders that Ginny realized that this was his bedroom. Draco turned arounf to face her and pulled her mouth up to his. His lips closed over hers, earning a gasp from her. She struggled for a moment at first, but then melted into the kiss. His tongue probed for entrance and she granted him his request. Soon, the two broke apart gasping a bit for breath.
"Wow"
"Well, I have never gotten that response out of a girl before. Was I that great?"
"Oh, umm... I didn't think I said that out loud." Ginny blushed a deep crimson red that could possibly outdo her hair.
Draco smiled down at Ginny. I do believe that is the only time I've ever seen him smile. It's kind of intoxicating.
"What, so I look that good?"
"Oh, you're so full of yourself Draco Malfoy."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"I should probably go to my room."
"So soon, but we haven't even done anything yet. I wanted to fool around a bit first."
"Draco! You're an insufferable git. You know that?" Ginny looked up at him with a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
Draco smirked at her, pulling her to him with his arm around her petite waist."Yeah, I do."
"Well, I really do need to go. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."
Ginny made to leave the room, but Draco pulled her in for one last breath taking kiss. "Don't make any plans for this weekend."
"Okay."
Ginny left Draco's headboy dorms and walked all the way to Gryffindor tower, amazingly not running into any one, save Nick, but he really didn't count.

Draco Malfoy was a marked man. After all, he'd refused the dark mark. What will become of our favorite duo?
