The two spent the rest of the morning talking and really getting to know each other. Both showed sides no one ever saw much of. Ginny liked the Draco she was talking with better than the old one. As for Draco, he saw a more caring and mature side of Ginny.
"So you still like scar…Harry?" asked Draco, knowing how tender the subject was. After all he had seen how Harry treated Ginny, it wasn't pleasant from what he saw.
Ginny made a face. "He never noticed me. Besides I think he likes Hermoine. Who wouldn't? She's smart, pretty and mature."
A wave of relief washed over him. Harry was out of the picture. Yet it was that look on Ginny's face that disturbed him. It was the same look she had earlier this morning. He reached out and brushed his hand against her cheek. "If Harry or anyone else for that matter can't see how great you are or how mature you are for your age or how beautiful you are, then they are blind."
Hearing her name coming from his lips made her feel all warm and happy inside. A smile broke out on her face. She reached her hand up, placing it on top of his. "That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard you say before, Draco."
Draco blushed a bit. He went to say something when his stomach growled rather loudly. "We must have missed lunch."
Ginny broke out in laughter. She looked the look on his face. It was one she had never seen from him before. Soon Draco joined in. They fell onto their backs, their laughing slowly stopping.
"Would you like to join me fro lunch, Ginny?" asked Draco, with a wave of his wand out of sight from her when he sat up.
Rolling over and propping herself up on her elbow, Ginny frowned. "I don't won't to go back in just yet."
"Wipe the frown off, and you won't have to worry about it," answered Draco, with a half a smile. He gestured to behind her with his hand.
Turning around, Ginny gasped in surprise. There was a blanket with food all laid out. It was in the shade but right near the lake itself. Smiling, Ginny tackled Draco playfully.
"It's beautiful." Ginny looked into his eyes. "Thank you."
Again Draco loved to have her so close to him. He wrapped his arms around her petite waist. She laid her head in the crook of his neck. His scent smelled so good, and she could feel his muscles.
After a few minutes passed, they pulled apart. If it were possible, they would have stayed that way forever. They ate and talked like old friends. Their laughter was like music, and their smiles were like the sunshine. (Wow, that was corny)
The topics of their families came up again. Neither of their families would approve of this. It was frowned upon. But neither of them cared anymore. They enjoyed each other's company too much. Although they agreed to keep it a secret from their family.
"Draco?" asked Ginny, when lunch was over. They were both lying on their backs, talking and looking at the clouds.
"Yea, baby girl," replied Draco, looking over at her. Then decided to prop himself up on her elbow.
"Do you think I am too small for Qudditch?" Ginny looked down at her hands, nervously.
Draco frowned. "Who told you that crap?"
"Hermoine. Ron just laughed," replied Ginny. Her eyes still refused to meet his.
Titling her head so she had to look at him, Draco smiled. "They are fools. You'd be good at Qudditch."
"Really?" Ginny's eyes shone brightly. She searched his eyes to see if he was teasing.
"Of course! I can practice with you if you want me to," offered Draco.
"Thanks," replied Ginny.
Draco's eyes suddenly lit up mischievously. He began to tackle her playfully. Ginny laughed and squirmed about. She couldn't get 'stop' out of her. Finally, he stopped, collapsing on her, still laughing lightly.
"Thank you," whispered Draco, breathing in her scent yet again. Ginny was playing with his hair, contently.
"For what?"
"I haven't laughed like that in a long time." Draco rolled over, taking her with him. Now she was resting on him. He put his arms around her. It wasn't a tightly grip, just protective.
Ginny smiled and loved the feel of his body on hers. She never wanted to move again. Draco stroked her hair, lovingly. The sun began to set. He lifted her head up to look at him.
Suddenly, he kissed her. It was unlike any kiss he ever had or even given. This one was full of love and respect. He was gentle with her unlike the others had been. Ginny felt as if she were on fire. The kiss felt soo good. She kissed him back just as he was about to pull away. He licked her bottom lip seeking entrance. She was more than glad to do it. At first, his tongue searched her whole mouth before she wanted in on the fun. His arms tightened, bringing her closer.
When they finally pulled apart, both were panting. As much as they enjoyed it, it was wrong. It was against the rules for them. If anyone found out, neither of them would be allowed to ever see the other one again.
"We shouldn't have done that," frowned Draco, looking at her, sadly.
"Our families would kill each other or us if they ever found out," agreed Ginny, looking down. Her hair started to fall in front of her face.
Draco brushed the pieces of hair behind her ear and lifted her chin so she'd look at him. "But I don't regret it nor will I not not do that again."
Ginny smiled. "Same here." She laid her head on his chest. This is where she belonged. Despite how wrong it should seem, it felt soo right."
