Chapter Nine – Ginny's Scare

When the clock chimed a strange chill ran down Draco's spine, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. Even though he was freezing, a sheet of sweat began to form on his forehead. Starting to worry, he went back to the bathroom and washed and dried his face, hoping that would help.

And then it stopped.

Time seemed to resume its normal speed, the room became a comfortable temperature, and his body relaxed. Not wanting to alarm any of his guests, Draco left the lavatory and went up to the stage to thank everyone for coming before he left. Nodding to Lucius, Draco grabbed his wand and said, "Sonorus", making his voice loud enough to ring throughout the room.

"May I please have your attention?"

Waiting for everyone to calm down, he continued. "I wanted to thank everyone for celebrating with me tonight. I especially want to thank my parents for the lovely party they held." Turning to his parents he said, "You out did yourselves this year."

The room began to fill with applause and Draco smiled at everyone present. "It is time for me to venture to bed, so I wish you all a great night."

Taking out his wand he muttered the reversing spell, "Quietus", and left the room. Arriving at his room at twelve thirty-nine, Draco left the lights off and hurriedly changed into a fresh pair of boxers. Pulling back the covers, Draco got in bed only to notice someone was already in it. Jumping up, the person on the bed yelped and turned on a light. Draco regained his breath once he saw it was just Ginny.

Opening his mouth to yell, Draco stopped and noticed how lovely she was. A burning desire to touch her overpowered him and caused him to become flustered and warm. Not taking his eyes off her, Draco took in deep breaths and for the first time noticed that she smelled of honey, even though she hadn't bathed in days. Needing to make skin-to-skin contact with her he walked over to her and grabbed her small hands in his.

His eyes caught her startled ones, taking his breath away. God she was beautiful. Feeling his erection become harder, Draco pulled himself flat up against her body. Not being able to stop himself, he began to roll his hips across hers. A moan slipped through his lips, causing Ginny to awake from her shock.

Pulling away she ran to the opposite wall and looked at her capture. His body glowed a slight pink, his eyes seemed to be locked on her, and his boxers did little to hide his arousal. Panicking when he advanced on her again, Ginny screamed, "Stay back."

"What have you done to me?" Draco asked. "Why do I feel the need to feel you against me? Ginny," he called as she began to back away towards the door. "Ginny, don't go!"

But he was too late…she locked herself in the bathroom and stayed there as he pounded his fists on the other side. She was terrified by the change in attitude that Draco was going through. A brutal, self-centered, jerk of a man she could handle, but when she couldn't be angry with him, what could she be?

Draco's pounding had slowed considerably yet still hit the door hard every once in a while. Ginny sat on the toilet and waited for him to get tired enough to stop. Draco finally gave up and went to sit on his bed. As he sat there, he couldn't help but wonder what had driven him to act as he had.

"Today has been really weird!" He exclaimed as he settled himself under the covers and prepared to fall asleep. Just as he was on the brink of sleep, Ginny cracked open the door to see if he was gone. Deciding to pretend that he wasn't awake, Draco waited for Ginny to relax and let down her guard.

Draco was surprised when she laid down on the bed that he was on.

'If I were her, I would be trying to keep my distance.' He thought, 'This actually works for me.' And without a second thought, Draco rolled over and pinned Ginny below him. In a state of fright Ginny began to scream and kick at the man above her.

"Please," she sobbed. "Don't hurt me."

Snuggling his body closer to hers he asked, "And why would I ever hurt you?"

Snorting Ginny replied, "I'm a Weasley, your slave or whatever it is you call me, you love to hurt me and my family…the list could go on."

"Your voice is so sexy."

Draco began to kiss Ginny's neck, making the pulse shoot through the roof from panic. Her struggles became more forceful and desperate. She let out a scream that rang through the room. Finally noticing how panicked she was, Draco released her and in a flash pulled on some clothing and left.

He really had to talk to his dad.
