"Harry?" Ginny rubbed her eyes and sat up on the sofa, gazing blearily at her husband who was standing in the doorway, watching her.

"Sorry," he said quietly. "I didn't want to wake you."

"I didn't think you'd be home tonight," said Ginny.

Shrugging, Harry looked away from her and out the window where snow was falling softly in the dark night.

"Harry, please," Ginny began softly but stopped as he turned angrily to face her.

"Please, what? It's true isn't it?" He took a step towards her and continued to glare. Ginny knew he wasn't really angry. No, she could see into his eyes and she saw misery, heartbreak and betrayal. The knowledge that she had put that look in his eyes made her want to hide under the blankets and not come back out.

"Yes, Harry, it's true, but it's not what you think," Ginny said softly, breaking his gaze and staring at her feet.

"What the hell do I think, Ginny?" he asked, his face twisting as he tried to keep any emotion from his voice. Standing, Ginny took a step towards him but he didn't move to her. "Well, Gin? What do I think?"

"Harry, listen to me, this is us, okay? I would never jeopardise what we have. Never, and you know it." Ginny paused and met his gaze. She sighed and said, "Malfoy came onto me."

"Tania said she walked in on you two having it off on the couch," Harry said, his face crumpling as he said it. "What were you even doing at the Malfoys' place?"

"I went to his house to thank him for finding Victoria. No other reason. He kissed me. That's all."

"Why didn't you tell me you where going to see him?" Harry asked, letting Ginny take another step closer. "Why did you sneak around behind my back? That wasn't the only time: you went to see him the night Torie disappeared and then he was here when the letter came through the window. Why keep it a secret?"

Ginny sighed and ran a hand through her hair. Now was the part she didn't want to tell him about. "Malfoy…he only helped us find Torie because…because I went and asked him to."

"You did what?" Harry said very quietly, his face stony.

"I asked him for help Harry, and I'd do it again in a flash. If you don't remember, he was the one who found Torie."

"And would you kiss him again in a flash?" Harry demanded with such force in his voice that Ginny took a step backwards.

"Do you honestly believe I've been cheating on you?" Ginny asked coldly, hating him suddenly at that moment. Why didn't he trust her? Why was he believing everything Tania said? Looking up, he met her eyes, both sets flashing with anger and something else…something that ran deeper than anger, deeper than passion. In that moment, Ginny felt like hitting him and kissing him, slapping him and touching him, hurting him and making love to him.

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched upwards as if he'd read her mind, and this only angered her further. How dare he stand there, accusing her of having an affair with Malfoy, stand there smiling at her like some sort of…some sort of…

His lips were on hers, his arms around her before she could even think of a word to describe him. She staggered backwards, her fingers tracing every muscle every line of his body, her mouth exploring his, enjoying the familiarity of it. Her fingers found the hem of his shirt and she pulled on it roughly, ripping the seam and scratching him with her fingernails. The sudden pain caused him to kiss her harder, his tongue tracing her mouth and tasting only her…only her.

Stumbling, Ginny fell backwards onto the couch, pulling Harry down with her as he pushed off her sweater, her t-shirt peeling off with it. The unnecessary garments out of the way, Ginny pulled Harry's head back down to hers, her fingers deeply entwined in his thick hair, her teeth grazing his lip. The want to hurt him had not yet passed and Harry was suffering the consequences. In retaliation, he dug his fingers hard into the soft skin of her back, causing Ginny to arch herself towards him.

Harry grinned at the desired effect and was just reaching for her bra-clasp when the fire roared emerald-green and a certain Ronald Weasley fell out of the fireplace, picking himself up hurriedly and then freezing at the scene before him.

"Ron!" Harry cried out in annoyance and surprise. Lifting himself off of Ginny he quickly handed her the discarded sweater and stood gazing at the half frantic – half shocked Ron.

"Ever heard of knocking?" Ginny asked coldly, pulling on her sweater and standing beside Harry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't," Ron stuttered, his ears quickly turning red. "I didn't know Harry would be…I thought you two were fighting."

"We were until you so rudely interrupted us," Ginny shot at Ron, still glaring.

"Right," Ron muttered, surveying the fingernail scratches on Harry's stomach with raised eyebrows.

"Did you want something?" Harry asked crossly, folding his arms and wanting more than anything for Ron to leave so he could get back to what he was doing. He could still feel his pulse racing.

Ron shook his head to clear it and said, "yes. Yes of course. It's really important. The Aurors were questioning Krum and he nearly had a fit when they told him imprisonment for twenty years. Turns out someone made a deal with him: kidnap Victoria in return for ten thousand galleons and max three years in Azkaban."

"Who was it?" Harry and Ginny both demanded together, finding each other's hands and gripping tight.

"I don't know for sure," Ron said. "But they've just arrested…" He trailed off looking from Harry to Ginny then back again.

"For goodness sake, Ron. Who?" Ginny cried, clutching Harry's hand with asteely grip.

"Malfoy," Ron said quietly. "Draco Malfoy."
