Chapter 12: Caught Red-Handed

"Malfoy!" Ron shouted "I'm going to Dumbledore right now! There is no way in hell you are going to the dance with that ferret!"

He was delusional by now.

Ron had been like that for about an hour now.

Ginny thought he was going to die of a heart attack when she told him whom she was going to the dance with.

She wasn't that worried about him, though. She was more worried about the dance tomorrow.

Ginny left the common room to meet her 'date'.

He had mentally told her to meet him in the library in a ½ hour.

She was an hour late but what did she care? If he wasn't there, he wasn't there.

Making her way down the main staircase, she saw him already waiting for her at the bottom.

He waited for her to face him before he spoke.

"You're late" he said.

"And?" Ginny replied, the corners of her lips tugging at the side of her mouth.

"I don't like to be kept waiting."

Ginny stared into his eyes. 'What was he getting at? That wasn't about her being a ½ hour late'

"No it wasn't, but anyway—"

"Did you set us up?" she asked, curiously, cutting him off.

Draco was taken aback. "No I didn't, did you?"

"Of course I didn't! I have a boyfriend! If I were going to set myself up with some one it would definitely would not have been you! You are such an egoistic prat! You, Draco Artimeus Malfoy, are nothing to me! I have no idea how we obtained these psychotic powers, visions, and what ever else; but I'm am set on making them stop. Why you of all people can I mentally talk to, that I can see what you're doing! What is wrong with us! I can't—"

"Why did you kiss me?" he said quietly, yet having a tremendous effect.

She stopped her raving. Looking at him. 'Why did I kiss him?' she thought.

"I really can't give you an answer to that. Why did you kiss me back?" she inquired.

"I really can't answer that either" he said, a smiling playing on his lips as he took a step closer.

"You know what?"

"What?" Ginny asked dazzled by the way the light reflected in his silver –gray eyes.

Ginny never got to know what.

Draco placed his lips on Ginny's and she forgot about the question all together. She never thought Draco Malfoy could kiss so sweetly, she was in a state of bemusement.

Just then, she saw Harry come down the staircase they were right in front of, but she had her eyes closed. She panicked and sharply pulled away from Draco.

She turned around to face the staircase and saw no one.

'Curious' she thought, 'what was that about'. But she got her answer when Harry turned the corner and spotted her.

"Gin," he said, giving Malfoy a glare "Ron wants you. Like now."

"Okay" Ginny said walking up the stairs not looking back.

'Why did you kiss me?'

'Why did you kiss me back?' she heard him reply in the back of her mind

She smiled.

"Ginny, why are you smiling? You were just with Malfoy." asked Harry off handedly.

"I'm thinking about something." she said

"And that something would be what?" Harry asked again with a little more curiousty.

"And that something would not be your business." she said sarcasticly. "Why does Ron want me? Again?"

"Why else?"

"Okay tell him I'm not coming back to the dorm tonite I'm going to have a midnight rendezvous with Malfoy." She said, an evil smile curving into the corners of her lips.

Ginny turned around and headed back towards the grand staircase. She just had a vision that Draco hadn't gone back to his dorm but to the Great Hall.

Harry stood back contradicting what he should do. 'She was joking..wasn't she?' He asked him self silently. Convincing himself, he went to Gryfinndor trying to think of something to tell Ron.

Walking at a slow pace, or at least trying to, Ginny waked back to the entrace hall and down the staircase.

She opened the door to the Great Hall.

"Yes?" came a voice to her right.

Draco, who else.

"I saw you coming." he said

"Oh, yea well we still haven't figured out our costumes for tomorrow night." Ginny said as though it wasn't really an issue.

"Romeo and Juliet. Have you ever read the book?" he asked.

He was actually having a civil conversation with her. Odd as it was, she continued.

"Yes and I've seen the play as well. I already know my costume. My concern is what or how you are destroying the exposé of Romeo," she said coyly.

He smirked and took out his wand, but it seemed like he changed his mind and put it back in his pocket.

"What?"

"I want my costume to be a surprise" he said casually.

"All right. Fine with me."

"No its not"

"Yes it is."

"Remember I can read your mind"

"I'm not stupid I know that."

"Well then you know that you're lying to me."

She looked up at him.

"Yes I know I was lying to you and yes I know that you can read my mind. But my question to you is how?"

"I couldn't tell you either."

"Just like you couldn't tell me why you kissed me before?" she asked

"Yes just like that." he said taking a step closer, closing the little space that was between them before.

"And I can't tell you why I'm going to do this." He said before kissing her once more. Not fighting, naturally placing her arms around his neck, she kissed him back. It wasn't like the one they had shared in the Great Hall. This one was passionate and full of emotion.

'Why does this fell so right?' she asked herself mentally.

'Because it's wrong' Draco's voice answer back. 'Forbidden is always better'

"Ahem."

Ginny and Draco broke apart and turned toward the entrance of the hall, to find a few not so happy people in the doorframe.

Draco and Ginny opened their eyes to see Professor McGonagal and Professor Snape glaring at the two of them in pure disgust.

Instantaneously, Ginny detached herself from him and stepped aside. Draco stood his ground.

'Good Job, you prat!' Ginny thought

'How do you expect to blame this all on me?'

'You're the one who kissed me!'

'But you kissed me back' He thought a sly grin forming through his lips.

'Who do you sound like now?'

'You'

Ginny smiled.

"And why are you two smiling?" Professor McGonagal snapped.

"Yes...there is nothing particularly humorous about this situation at all. Would you two mind explaining yourselves?" Professor Snape said coldly.

"Excuse me professors, if I'm not being rude, but how exactly are we in trouble?" asked Ginny.
Both professors stared at her as she continued. "It is not past our curfew and the Great Hall isn't off limits to students at anytime unless there is a function, which I don' see that there is one."

Both Sanpe and McGonagal looked at eachother. Niether of them had an answer.

"Good," she said, "Than I guess thats settled. Draco I'll see you tomorrow at the ball? Don't be late." Walking past him she gave him a swift kiss on the cheek. Smiling she bid the professors a good evening and walked out of the doors of the Great Hall.

Wow... Ginny heard Draco say in the abck of her mind as she was walking towards the stairs. She turned around and glanced back. He was walking out of the doors.

'I couldn't explain that either, lover boy' Giving him a wink, she turned around and smiled all the way back to Gryffindor Tower.
