Chapter 3-Meetings

The next morning Ginny woke up to sun streaming through her drapes. Stretching she threw back the covers and stepped onto the plush red carpet. Grabbing a black and blue stripped bra and matching panties she shuffled into the bathroom. Turning on the shower she let the hot water run down her back while she remembered last nights dream

"What are you doing here?" she whispered as she leaned into his strong frame

"I had to see you again" he replied as he pulled her small frame closer to him smelling her peach scented hair.

"if they catch you with me, you will be killed…I cant lose you" she spoke softly gazing up into his icy blue eyes.

He gently grazed his soft lips against hers in a tender kiss. "Draco…" she breathed…….

Shaking the dream from her thoughts she turned the shower off and wrapped a fluffy white towel around her body. Stepping over to the mirror she looked at herself casting a drying spell on her hair she made it so it fell in soft curls, pushing her bangs to the side she applied black eyeliner and mascara, and red and orange eye shadow around her eyes, making her eyes look amber. Walking back into her room she pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans and a white long sleeve shirt with a v-cut neck, putting her orange studded belt she looked around the room suddenly glad Dumbledore gave her a private room after her 1st year. 'No girls' she thought to her self. Grabbing her bag she headed down the stairs to meet Reagan for breakfast.

Draco took a long drag from his cigarette before throwing it off the balcony of his private room. Having been up with the run rise Draco took the time to finish the drawing he had started at dinner the night before. Gazing down at it, he remembered the way her hair sparked in the sun, how her eyes danced with happiness when she laughed at something her friend said. 'She is beautiful' he thought to himself. Directing his attention away from his sketch he looked at his watch, 6:40, he had 20 minutes until breakfast started. Walking back into his room he put his sketch book back in his desk drawer and locked it. Then grabbing the towel that hung on the back of his chair he headed off to the bathroom. Taking a quick, hot, shower he stepped out and hung the towel loosely on his hips. Walking back into his room he grabbed forest green boxers, and black t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He had come too really like muggle clothing's over the years. Carelessly running the towel through his hair he walked back to his desk and took out his sketch book. Making sure his room was securely locked he headed down for breakfast.

"Ooof!" Gin huffed as she fell to the floor in a heap. "Hey watch where you're going you prat!" Ginny said while picking up her books, reaching for her quills that had scattered across the floor she looked up in shock.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking" Draco's cool voice spoke as he bent down to help her

"Malfoy" Ginny spoke in surprise, I didn't know…." She trailed off when she noticed he was smirking at her

"What..?" she asked while frantically looking around for her potions book

"Nothing" Draco replied quickly handing her the book in question

Standing up Ginny dusted off herself and lifted her bag back on her shoulder

"Thanks" she said, a questioning look spread across her face.

With a slight incline of his head, Draco turned and walked toward the great hall.

"Hey Red" Reagan spoke coming up behind Ginny fiddling with her tongue web ring.

Taking her eyes off Draco's retreating form Ginny faced her best friend.

Reagan was wearing a pair of black bondage pants, with a black tank top on covered by a dark red fish net long sleeve. Her hair was messed up in the back and she had dark red makeup on.

"You alright?" Reagan asked noticing her friends confused look

"Yea...I'll explain on the way to breakfast" Ginny replied

So Ginny explained what had occurred between Malfoy and her just moments ago in the hallway, Reagan just nodded taking in every detail.

"Strange" she replied. "He has been weird for a while now hasn't he?" she said to no one in particular

Sitting down to eat Ginny just nodded in agreement, thinking about the dream earlier and the encounter with Malfoy. 'This is starting out to be a strange year' she thought to her self.

She was awaken from her thoughts when Professor McGonagall approached her.

"Miss Weasley, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you immediately" she spoke in a clear monotone voice.

Nodding, Ginny waved to Reagan, giving a small nod when she mouthed "tell me later" and began the walk to Dumbledore's office.

Reaching his door she timidly knocked when she head a kind voice calling her in.

Smoothing down her shirt and robes she opened the door to see the old professor joyfully eating lemon drops.

"Have a seat miss Weasley" he said softly

"Am I in trouble sir?" Ginny asked wondering why, on the first day back she was already being called here.

"Oh no of course not Ginny" the old professor laughed while holding out the bowl of lemon drops in offering

Declining his offer Dumbledore spoke

"I called you here today Ginny because of your grades…"

Cocking her head slightly she waited for him to continue

"they are by far the most outstanding grades I have seen in years, and yes miss Weasley that includes miss granger" he added seeing she was about to speak

"We here, the teachers and I, have decided you are well suited to move up a year…if you wish of course" he finished

Dumbfounded Ginny sat with her mouth slightly open "sir…"she began "that would be an honor!" she squealed jumping up from her seat hugging the old man

As if burned she shot back, a look of horror crossing her face "oh, sir, im..so sorry!" she began

Holding a hand up to stop her Dumbledore just smiled "quite alright" handing her a schedule he wished her good luck and Ginny walked out the door.

Stopping to register all that just happened in the 10 minutes she was with her headmaster she shook her head 'a very interesting year'
