AN: I think this chapter is kind of boring. It's the second to last one though. Thank you for the reviews you guys. They're awesomeee.
Ginny snatched the Quaffle and she sat for a minute before zooming off. She made it cleanly through the hoop and at the same moment heard loud noises, half booing and half cheering, coming from the crowd. Harry and Draco were neck to neck reaching for the snitch. Ginny cursed quietly as a buldger flew by her ear. She was quickly off again to find the quaffle. Draco growled at Harry. "Get over, Ginny. She's mine."he whispered.
Harry glared at Draco. "I'm sure Ginny isn't anyones property."
"Oh, you'd be surprised."
The two began speeding off and Draco reached his arm forward first. Harry was quicker though and with one last boost he sped a little bit ahead of Draco and managed to grab the snitch. The two flew towards the ground and Ginny timidly made her way over to Draco. She touched his forearm softly and he smiled at her. Kissing her forehead gently. "You did great."he whispered.
"So did you."
"I could have done better."
"Nah. You did perfect. Like always."
Harry watched them with partial disgust. Slowly, Ron and Hermione joined Harry. Ron glared at them. "We can't even do anything about it."whispered Ron.
"They're Heads."replied Harry, as if trying to explain the reason to the two.
"It's my fault. I could have resisted Malfoy if I had not given up being Head Girl. I didn't know Dumbledore would choose Ginny."
Draco whispered something to Ginny and she turned around to face the trio. She looked guilty for a moment, but quickly turned away from them and grabbed Draco's hand. He brought her hand to his lips before dropping it and heading off to the Slytherin changing room. She began heading towards the Castle. "C'mon you three. There's bound to be a party in the Common Room."
With that the trio hurried after Ginny. Laughing and talking like nothing was wrong, but they all knew Ron was going to try and talk some sense into Ginny later. She knew though that this was the best thing to happen to her ever. Ginny was right of course, there was a party in the Gryffindor Common Room. Ginny had forgotten how homey the Common Room was. She had not been up there for some time. She settled down in one of the far armchairs. Her legs crisscross with Crookshanks sitting in the middle. He was purring and listening to her talk softly to him. "It isn't well to talk to a cat."said Ron, walking over.
"He doesn't tell secrets," She kissed Crookshanks head before dropping him softly on the ground. "At least he knows the difference between good and evil."she said, hinting towards his third year.
"Yeah...well...I bet he doesn't like Malfoy."
"Malfoy isn't bad," Her eyes locked to his and she bit her lip softly. "I really like him, Ron. Don't ruin this."
"I'm going to tell mum and dad."
"They'll tell Lucius."
"Good. At least he'll tell Draco to move on. He's a Malfoy for bloody sake. He's going to leave you. Take your virginity," She didn't falter or blush at that statement. He already took that. "Break your heart, and tear you to shreads. Remember that, Ginny."
"I will."
"Good."
A month later was the Christmas Ball. A day before everyone was to go home for vacation. At least the people who wanted to return home. Ginny had gotten ready with Hermione in one of the Prefects bathrooms. Hermione was going with Ron and Harry was going with a girl from Ravenclaw named, Sarah. The two girls finished at the same moment. Ginny had her hair loosely curled and she wore hardly any make-up like Hermione. Hermione had her hair straightened with no frizzies. Ginny wore a knee length black fifties dress decorated with jet beads. Her shoes were ballet shoes. "You look pretty."said Ginny, looking in amazement at Hermione.
"Thank-you. So do you."
The two girls made their way out of the bathroom. They stood at the bottom at the staircase in the middle of the both the Gryffindor tower and the Head Room. Ron came first and his eyes seemed to pop out of his head when he saw Hermione. He took her hand gently in his and waved goodbye to his sister. Couples walked by and Ginny was getting nervous that maybe Draco wouldn't show up, but he did. He bowed to Ginny and wrapped his hand around her waist. "You look good enough to eat."he murmured.
"You still need to try harder than that."she joked, remembering him using that on her before.
"I don't like these muggle clothes. Why did I let you put that down on the list?"
She shrugged and leaned foward to kiss him. "Because you wanted it, too."she stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
They danced that whole night. Not worrying about who saw them together. Not caring that someone was likely to tell both of their parents. They didn't have to listen forever. "Let's go outside."whispered Ginny.
"Yeah, it's getting hot in here."
He took her hand and led her to the garden. He sat down on one of the benches and wrapped his legs around her. "Draco?"she whispered softly.
"Yeah?"
He peered up at her curiously. "I love you."she whispered.
He stood up quickly and Ginny was expecting an 'I love you back' and a kiss, but instead he stepped away from her. "I'm sorry, Ginny. I don't think I'm ready for that."he whispered softly.
AN: So next chapter will be the last and final chapter. I think. Unless my writer's block suddenly goes away between today and tomorrow. It was actually supposed to only have this chapter and be done. But I decided to split it off into two chapters. Yay.
