Hi everybody, sorry it took so long for me to update. I will update Deal with the Devil next, I promise :)
I would also like to thank everyone for their good wishes, although I think I haven't been completely clear, because when I said my father succumbed to his illness I meant he died. I just wanted to find a nice way to say that LOL, but I think I mucked it up a little. Anyways, just keep your fingers crossed for the next chapter of... Chains of Darkness.
And of course Deal With The Devil LOL

Chapter 3 Play with Fire...
Shivering in the cold morning air Ginny dressed herself quickly. The fire that had been burning in the hearth had died down somewhere during the night leaving the room a target to the frigid winds finding their way in through the small cracks in the wall.
Binding her hair up into a ponytail Ginny looked in the mirror, that she was wearing once again wearing one of her more provocative outfits under her robe. This time even the colour matched the Slytherin name perfectly.
If he saw her like this...
A slow smile curled around her lips.
Hmn, he would definitely like it – No! She could not think like that. Thoughts like these were dangerous, even more dangerous then the mistake she had made last night.
What in the world had possessed her to think that she could simply go and do nothing more then talk to him?
Grimacing to her reflection Ginny smoothed the small curls falling around her face which had escaped from the confinements of the elastic band she'd used to bind her hair.
Had she hoped that what had happened would indeed happen?
Had she secretly known what he could do, would do to her?
Was that why she'd told him who she was?
Some part of her had known he had not recognized her... and know he knew who she was... And he would come after her.
There was no doubt in her mind about that.
Slinging her book bag over her shoulder she laughed.
Well, she'd always liked bad boys hadn't she?
She had resisted them so far. Not that there had been many, but she'd managed to stay out of the clutches of those who'd made a pass at her.
So let him come.
She would be ready... to play with fire.

'BANG!' The entrance doors to the Great Hall flew open, revealing what was fondly (and mostly not so fondly) as the Dragon's Gang.
Which came down to Draco sauntering into the hall with Blaise beside him. Well beside him... technically she hung at his side with one arm slung around his shoulders, his arm around her back, his hand resting on her hip.
Behind them trailed Crabbe and Goyle, who both had changed over the years. Fat had converted into muscle and where Crabbe spiked his hair, Goyle now had a Mohawk and a piercing in his ear that was linked to a piercing in his nose by a chain.
And behind them trailed the last and most surprising member of their gang.
No one had expected the Dragons to add to their gang or even to accept new members. And yet they had.
Padma Patil calmly walked after them as she had for years now. She wasn't the last to walk in because they questioned her value, as evil tongues has whispered, but because they trusted her to watch their backs.
As son as they sat down, the rumors in the Great Hall started up again. Draco smirked and shook his head; he has never understood why people would watch their entrance into the Great Hall day in day out-
"So how was she?" His arm around Padma, Crabbe smirked at Draco. "Was she as hot as you thought?" His large hand played with one of Padma's braids, who smiled and rested her head against his shoulder.
"She's promising." Draco frowned. "Damn resourceful too. The kitten pushed me- she had claws."
Goyle's laughter boomed through the Great Hall, disrupting nearby conversations and stilling some of the activity and banter around them. "So you lost her?"
Draco smirked at him; trust Goyle to use a voice low enough so no other could pick up their conversation... and leaving everyone to wonder what was going on. "No." He glanced across the hall at the place where he had spotted her the second he had walked in. "She told me her name- I think the kitten is ready to be chased."
"Do you want to make her a part of the gang once you've got her." Blaise passed around goblets of pumpkin juice while nibbling on a bun.
"She's got potential. Got some good and tasty clothes under her robes too... Nice bellybutton piercing-" A waving, manicured hand in front of his face interrupted him. "Hey, don't ya go zoning off to cloud nine." Padma prodded his side, now smirking. "Who is she? Is she here?" "She's sitting over there." Draco answered with a smooth, quick jerk of his head in Ginny's direction.
"Her hmn..?" Padma's smirk widened a notch. "You don't want to meet her brother at his worst Dray."
"Oh, but I do... And the kitten is well worth it."
The whole gang exploded with laughter...
Draco Malfoy on the prowl was always fun to watch.

Running down the corridor, Ginny tried to remember what her next class was. Distractions were okay, but this was getting ridiculously out of hand. If she had not had lessons from Hagrid and Professor Sprout she would be in some serious trouble right now... as she would be if she did not get to the Potions classroom right now.
And of course destiny chose that exact instant to pluck her out of that corridor and around the corner, pushing her back into the wall.
Pushing the trailing curls out of her eyes she prepared to give the person in question a good ear blistering, only to glimpse Draco's face right before he set his lips to hers, his tongue entering between her opened lips. The breath she had wanted to use to speak was lost in that single moment and all thought were washed from her brain leaving her blank and drifting in an ocean of beckoning fire. All she did was clench her arms around his neck and twining her fingers through his hair. The low growl emitting from his throat made her insides churn. He took hold of her ponytail, drew her head back and began kissing her neck, his lips sucking at her skin.
"Wait!" Her voice was raspy, as if she had not used it for a long while. "I have Potions-" He only hissed his answer into the skin of her neck. "I'll take care of that."
The thought drew a smile from her lips, but she knew she would have to draw back. Draco taking care of Snape for her would simply be too telling. "You can't."
His eyes glittered as he looked at her. "I'll do it in a way that no one will notice- come on, just a few more minutes."
And a few more kisses of course, his eyes said as much. Groaning internally, Ginny grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him towards her, whispering, "A few more minutes can't hurt."
