All Harry Potter characters don't belong to me

Molly786 – I think boys tend to be a little dense when it comes to noticing when a girl interested so I think it will be a while before Blaise realizes anything. Thank you for the tips on PG-13 content and thank you for reading and reviewing.
Felina – I can't tell you about Blaise and Bell's future you'll just have to wait and see. I'm evil, I know. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Sweetcaroline - Thank you for reading and reviewing.
SaintEmo – When Ginny will tell will remain a mystery for now. If you've read my last story you'll probably know that I like to write very long stories and 15 chapters is just the beginning. Sorry burst your bubble. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Ang3l666 – I'm definitely not comfortable with sex at the age of 12 and 13 so not to worry. Wouldn't want my story to be a bad influence. Haven't decided if I will even include anything like that yet, but I know for sure it wont be anything explicit. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Crystal Moon Magic – Unfortunately there are many of your questions that I cannot answer because it would ruin the story. I can tell you for sure that Ginny will attend Hogwarts sometime in this story. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
LillianRose – I'll try to explain what Bell was going on about and hopefully you will understand. Bells outburst was partially due to her being jealous and her disappointment in Blaise's actions. Maybe it will become clearer in alter chapters. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Katepotter13 - Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Bigreader – Sorry there, but I stand my ground for no sex scenes. I'll try to make it more realistic in their desire for physical affection seeing as how they will be very much in love. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Swimfan – Personally I'm not very comfortable with rough sex terms so I think I'll definitely be staying the boundaries of PG-13. Thank you for the content help and Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Rainbow16 – I think its common courtesy to ask readers about sexually content because different people have different levels of acceptance and I also was not very sure.

HappiGoLucki616 – Now that I have abetter understanding of what action is allowed in PG-13 I'll try to add in as much as I can. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Darkangel1 – you have been very useful and thank you for your opinion. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Phoebe321 – I made Blaise a girl in the source because I was unsure of what gender he really was. But afterwards I found out that he was indeed supposed to be a boy so I have made him so in this story.

Chapter Sixteen – Sweet Endearing Pain.

"Speaking"

Thinking

NOTE: thoughts will be in italics now since the formatting will not allow certain types of brackets. Hope things don't get too confusing.

"Don't forget to owl me?"

"Of course I won't," Blaise replied and kissed Julie one last time on the back of her hand. "Au revoir mon cher." (Goodbye my dear)

"Au revoir mon amour," Julie replied with love filled eyes. (Goodbye my love)

Draco stood aside watching the exchange between Blaise and his new girlfriend with a smirk on his face. He had to admit that Blaise was smooth.

The exchange ended and Blaise walked back to where his friend stood waiting.

"Resorting to French?" Draco asked.

"What can I say," Blaise said with a shrug. "It is the language of love."

Bell ran towards them empty handed and wrapped an arm around each of them so she could hug them at the same time. "Have a safe and fun holiday," She said beside their ears before letting go.

"Bye Bell," Blaise said.

"Hopefully we'll see you soon," Draco added.

Bell nodded before walking back to where her mother and some servants were waiting. Turning around, she waved one last time before disappearing into the crowd.

Draco and Blaise said their goodbyes and soon enough, Draco was back at home again. Once in the foyer, Draco's nose was invaded with a lovely sweet smell. He inhaled deeply and smiled.

"Who's cooking?" He asked.

"I think its Miss Ginny," Martin replied.

Draco raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Ginny? Cooking? This I got to see." He walked in the direction of the kitchen and descended the steps quietly. He didn't step into the kitchen right away but chose to watch from the doorway where he was slightly hidden.

Ginny was humming softly to herself while holding a bowl in the crook of her elbow and a spatula in one hand. She had her hair in two plaits that had loosened and now draped over her shoulders.

After having satisfied his eyes with the sight of her, Draco stepped into the kitchen quietly hoping to surprise her. Ginny, however chose to look up at that moment and spotted him.

A smile graced her face immediately. "Draco," She said happily before she put down the bowl and spatula. Draco also beamed while walking to stand in front of her. They were the same height now and he was able to see the eyes he had missed so much.

In a second he had her in his arms and his chin resting on her shoulder.

"I missed you," Draco said into her ear.

Ginny held onto him tightly. "And I missed you," she said before noticing that she was getting him dirty. She pulled away and smiled at the blotches of white flour on his once immaculately clean robes.

She laughed while patting at the flour to get it off. "Now you're all dirty," She said amused.

Draco smiled. "So are you," he said and brushed his fingers over her left cheek to remove some flour. Feeling the softness of her skin, he couldn't seem to remove his hand. Cupping her left cheek, he ran his thumb across her smooth skin while entranced by the scatter of her freckles.

So beautiful

DING came the sound from the oven.

Draco snapped out of his trance and removed his hand reluctantly. "What are you making?"

"Cookies," Ginny said cheerfully and turned around with gloves on her hands.

Draco sat down on one of the stools and watched as Ginny opened the oven to pull out a tray of oddly shaped cookies.

Removing them from the pan and onto a rack to cool, Ginny couldn't wait for Draco to taste them. She had been learning from her mother how to cook, but it was hard because she couldn't use magic to help with some things like measurements and mixing. But even though it was more difficult, it was well worth it.

Draco was examining the shapes of her cookies and couldn't figure out why they were the odd shapes that they were. Did she do it on purpose or was it an accident.

Ginny noticed Draco staring at her cookies and smiled. "You'll have to wait until they're cooled," she said happily.

"What kind of cookies are they?" He asked.

"Lemon flavored and shaped like animals," She replied proudly.

Draco nodded. So they're supposed to be shaped like animals. Luckily I asked.

"I'm also making some lemon icing sugar to go with them," Ginny added while resuming her mixing.

While Ginny went over to a cupboard to grab some more icing sugar, Draco snatched a cookie and sneakily took a bite. He regretted it the second the substance touched his tongue. Spitting the bite of cookie into his hand and hiding the rest of it in his pocket, Draco tried to swallow the revolting taste from his tongue but it seemed to make the taste even more prominent in his mouth.

Ginny came back over to the counter with the icing sugar in hand and grinned at Draco excitedly while continue with the icing mixture. Draco smiled forcefully and pulled a tissue from his robes to wipe the mess off his hands under the counter so Ginny wouldn't see.

He had honestly never tasted anything that awful before but considering that Draco had always eaten the best food money could buy, it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Ginny finished making the icing mixture and picked up a cookie to lather it with the yellow colored substance.

"Here you go," She said while holding the cookie out for Draco.

It took a lot of Draco's control to not have an expression of disgust on his face. He didn't want to hurt Ginny's feelings, especially when she was so excited about cooking.

"Er…" Draco stalled. "I just remembered that Father wants to see me right away so I'll come back and eat it later."

Ginny didn't even have time to suggest he take just one bite and he was already walking, rather quickly, up the stairs and out of the kitchen.

Ginny thought nothing of it and merely shrugged her shoulders before icing up the other cookies so she could enjoy them with him later.

Lucius was rather surprised that Draco had voluntarily come to his study to inform him on the events of the year, but was suspicious when Draco was obviously keen on staying in the study for as long as he could.

"Alright, what's wrong?" Lucius eventually asked coolly.

"Nothing," Draco answered a bit too quickly.

Lucius raised an eyebrow at his son and Draco knew that he should tell his father the truth because Lucius always knew when something was wrong.

"Ginny's been cooking," Draco finally answered.

"And?"

"She's not very good at it,"

"So?"

"She wants me to eat it."

Lucius smirked. "I see."

"So what do I do?" Draco asked with the slightest hint of desperation.

"Don't eat it."

Draco frowned. "She'll want to know why."

"Tell her the truth."

"I don't want to hurt her feelings."

"Either sacrifice your taste buds or sacrifice her feelings."

It wasn't much of a suggestion so Draco sigh dejectedly before slowly standing up and walked out of the room while Lucius shook his head in disapproval.

Draco walked excruciatingly slow back to the kitchen to find Ginny. He knew there was no point in hiding from her because he wouldn't be able to keep that up for long. He might as well get it over and done with rather that hide. He could never hide from Ginny for very long.

Draco walked pass the tea room and didn't notice that Ginny was in there until she came out and yanked him in.

"You've finally finished with your meeting with Uncle Malfoy?"

Draco smiled weakly. He really was very happy to see Ginny again, but the sight of her cookies on the table in the tea room was making it very hard for him to demonstrate his joy.

"Yeah, I thought it would never end," He said, trying his best to leave all the sarcasm out.

Ginny grinned and pulled Draco over to the seats. "I've been waiting for you to try my cookies," she said and took one from the plate and handed it to him.

Draco held the cookie in his hand and waited for Ginny to get one herself. He very carefully calculated his movements so it looked like he was getting ready to eat the cookie at the exact same time Ginny was. Of course he waited for Ginny to take a bite first while his cookie remained in mid air.

Draco held the cookie a millimeter away from his lips and watched from the corner of his eye as Ginny took a bite and was now chewing. Her smiled was first to disappear from her face, then her eyebrows creased and before long she had pulled out her handkerchief and spat the stuff out.

Draco took this opportunity to sneak the cookie back onto the plate and quickly poured Ginny a cut of tea. Ginny gulped down the tea and wiped her mouth with the handkerchief Draco offered her.

"It tasted fine last time," She said with a frown on her face and looked at Draco like he would have the answer.

"It's alright Ginny," Draco said comfortingly. "I'm sure it will turn out better next time."

Ginny smiled and put her half bitten cookie back onto the plate. "Yeah," she sighed but quickly looked up and smiled genuinely at him.

Draco was relived that Ginny was able to quickly recover and was immensely glad that she did not notice he didn't try her deadly cookies. Ginny suddenly jumped up from the seat full of energy and glowing with happiness. She took Draco's arm and proceeded to pull him out of the room.

"Where are we going?" Draco asked while being dragged along.

Ginny kept on walking and turned her head to answer him quickly. "To the kitchen so you can tell me all about Hogwarts while I make another batch of cookies."

Draco considerately waited for Ginny to turn her head around before allowing his dread to be revealed on his face for the shortest of moments.

Their conversation in the kitchen was just like all he other ones they had this time of the year. There were stories, questions, laughter, teasing, comforting and the sole comfort of having someone who listened and cared. Draco tired to enjoy the time he spent with Ginny as much as he would any other time, but it was considerably difficult since he was dreading the moment when Ginny's cooking would be complete and he was destined to be the little white mouse.

"So he just disappeared?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, but there has to more to it," Draco answered. "He wasn't able to apparate and he had no access to a portkey or fireplace. No one can just disappear. He must have escaped but we just don't know how."

"Wow…" Ginny said with awe. "Sirius Black at Hogwarts. It must have been frightening."

Draco smiled. "To an extent," He said casually.

At that moment, the bell from the oven signaled the completion of Ginny's second batch of cookies that day and Draco's face fell.

Draco sat in his seat quietly sweating while Ginny prepared her cookies like last time. Once she was done, she sat next to him on the stool and placed the plate in front of him. Draco stared at the plate waiting for Ginny to have the first taste but after moments of silence he realized she was waiting for him.

Alright, here we go. Draco took the cookie at the very top of the pile and slowly moved it towards his mouth. Letting his tongue touch the cookies before actually taking a bite, he found that it wasn't as bad as last time. Once he started to chew the first bite he realized they were actually pretty good.

Ginny had her hands clasped together while looking hopefully at Draco. "So, how are they?"

Draco scrunched his face up and shook his head. Ginny frowned before quickly grabbing a cookie and took a bite. Draco smirked as he watched Ginny taste it to the very last crumb.

"It taste's fine," she said while looking at Draco confused.

"I know," he said with a smirk. "I was just teasing."

Ginny grinned before she hit Draco playfully and he laughed.

"Is he alright?" Narcissa asked worriedly after the Healer exited Draco's room.

"He will be fine, Mrs. Malfoy, just an upset stomach. A few days of bed rest and some potions will have him as good as new."

Narcissa let out a sigh of relief before she escorted the Healer downstairs to collect the potions and pay him for his services.

Draco lay in the middle of his bed, on his side with his knees tucked into his stomach and his eyebrows furrowed in pain. Lucius stood next to the bed and ran his hand over Draco's head lightly.

"Rest Draco," He said before exciting the room.

Draco waited for his father to leave the room before he dared to call for Ginny. She was by his side in an instant with a sad face and eyes full of sorrow.

"I'm so sorry Draco," She whispered as she was on the verge of crying.

"Sh…It's not your fault." Draco said while managing a weak smile.

Ginny held her tears at bay because she didn't want to cause him any more distress. "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Of course not," Draco said, "It's just a little uncomfortable." She knew he was lying because his lips were white and he was sweating. She placed her hand on his cheek and it was so cold.

"Are you cold Draco?" She asked.

"Just a bit."

"I'll get you some more blankets." Ginny said and was about to jump off the bed but Draco grabbed her hand.

"No." he cried. Ginny was surprised but sat back down. "Just stay." He asked.

Draco kept a firm grip on Ginny's hand while she lay down beside him on top of his blankets. She then placed her other hand on top f his and watched as he slowly drifted to sleep.
