Chapter One: Please dont tell.
Ginny cursed her stupidity as she followed Hagrid a short while back. Why the hell had she hit him? Now they both had detention, in the Forbidden Forest. The stupid thing was it was for no real reason. Draco Malfoy had always been nasty to her. Why did it bother her today? Now she was stuck with him in the darkest damn forest searching for casualties of the resent Dragon attack. They'de already found 2 burnt out centaur corpses, but the damage to the trees were worse here, where the Dragon had actually landed for a moment. She shivered at the thought of what could be lying ahead in the darkness.
Draco caught her shudder." Scared Weasley?" He inquired." The dark a little to scawy without you big brother."
" Shut up." Ginny groaned." Its your damn fault were in this mess. If you had just left Ron alone like i'd told you I could be half way through my potions assignment by now."
Draco made a face." You slapped me."He reminded her.
Ginny stomped her feet." Maybe because you cant keep payin out on me and my family. I know were poor, I know I used to be in love with that prat Harry Potter and I know I have red hair and plenty of freckles, and sorry to burst you bubble Malfoy, so does evreyone else." She hissed before spinning on her heel and marching away from the sexy Slythren. Draco almost stepped back at the venom in her voice.
As soon as she was out of his sight she spedup to a sprint. Hagrid yelled something back to them about staying put and Draco cursed, now he was going to get in trouble for letting the wench run off. With a colourful curse he followed the vixen.
Ginny stumbled through the dense forest, tears blurring her vision. Why did Draco always manage to make her so mad? Somedays his insults would cut at her like daggers. She suddenly fell forward, loosing her balance and falling over something. She landed heavily on her kees sliding forward. She gasped in pain as something sharp and painful peirced her skin.
When she stopped, she rolled onto her backside and winced in pain as she saw it was a long arrow that was now imbeddod in her shin. She swore as the pain battled with her shock.She looked around, trying to see what she had triped on. She gasped in suprise, her pain momentarily avoided. She reached out gingerly and touched the golden Dragon Egg. She tenderly lifted it and, wary of her knee placed it on her lap.
"Were the hell are you Weasley!" Draco demanded. Ginny looked around but a pain spasm hit her before she could hide it.
Draco rounded the corner and his jaw dropped." Where the hell did you find that?" Then he noticed her look of pain." What happened?" He saw her gashed and winced."Merlin Red, what the hell did you do to yourself?"
Ginny groaned." I bloody fell, now will you help me please?" She asked. Suddenly she heard the mutters of Hagrid. Fear flashed through Ginny's eyes. She looked down at the egg and bit her lip." Draco, please dont tell him." She pleaded." Please, Dumbledor will find out about it like last time, that one didn't turn out to well. It got sold to someone who wouldnt treat it very nicley."
Draco exactly who had gotten that dragon and unexpected guilt hit him." Fine, but you owe me one Weasel." He assured her.
Ginny looked greatfull as he hid the egg in a pack he wore around his back. Ginny again gasped in pain as another spasm hit her. Draco looked down and sighed." You've really messed yourself up, you no that?"
" Draco for cripes sake, I know that, im feeling the goddamn pain here." Ginny groaned." Where the hell is that damn teacher?"
Ginny was sitting in the library after she was healed up in the infirmary. She may have been wounded, but that wouldnt stop a detention from Snape if her essay was late. She read the next passage carefuly. The dragon egg was certainly on her mind but as Draco was in the Slythren house she couldnt exactly go to the common room and wait for him there. She struggled to read the scawling hand writing in the book.
Draco could see her red hair from the door and made his way over, pulling something from inside his shirt. He placed the golden egg on the desk. Ginny looked up in shook and releif washed over her face. She jumped up and hugged him." Oh, thankyou so much Draco." She almost squealed.
Draco smirked." I know im irrestable, but can you please consentrate?"
Ginny shoved him playfully." That was so nice of you. Thankyou for helping me." She turned to the egg and watched it." What was I thinking? What am I gunna do if it hatches?"
" You could find a secret room to hide it in if you like." Draco suggested." Its worth quite a bit of money, on the other hand."
Ginny hurriedly shook her head." I could never sell it." She carressed it with the fingertips on her left hand. She sighed and collapsed back into her chair." Merlin damn it!"
" Hows your knee?" Draco asked, changing the subject.
Ginny adjusted her skirt, hitching it up to her upper thigh. A long scar came into view." They did the best they could but there was to poison still on the arrow head." She shrugged.
Draco was still watching her knee strangley." Does it hurt?"
" Not to much." She confessed." Thanks for helping me before."
Draco shrugged." Since my father ended up with Hagrids last baby dragon..."
Ginny jumped." Your father?"
Draco looked up and again shrugged." Yup."
" I'd forgotten who your father was." She comented, fiddling with her skirt hem.
" I'd noticed." Draco smirked.
Suddenly they heard a noise, coming in the direction they were in. It was Blaise Zabini. Ginny looked around fearfully, searching for a place to hide the egg, before they were caught with it. Draco cursed and grabbed it, pushing Ginny up and against the wall. She was surprised, the egg pressed between their stomachs.
Dracos lips brushed hers, then came back for a soft kiss. Ginny closed her eyes with a small sigh into his mouth. What the hell was he doing? Surpising both of them he ran his tongue along her lower lip, asking for access. Unsure why, Ginny granted it.
She inhaled the cool hit of mint and the bare taste of carmel. She let her tongue explore Dracos mouth in order to find more of the exiting tastes.
The surge of pure adrenaline hit them the second there minds began to function again.Dracos kiss deepend and he ran his hands along her sides. Her free hand, the one that wasnt holding up the dragon egg, snuck up Dracos chest without Ginny's knowledge or permission. It slid around his neck, tangling in his shower wet hair.
Draco's kiss slid to her jaw and along the jawbone. He made his way to the back of her right ear, making her giggle.
" Ooops, sorry Draco." Blaise chuckled as the footsteps reached them.
Draco merly grunted, returning the kiss to Ginnys lips. Obviously Blaise couldnt see her or there would have been more said. Instead the footsteps faded back. He didnt stop kissing her, and Ginny really didnt want him to stop.
Eventually they did pull back though, as the egg was slipping down out of Ginny's grasp." That was one way to hide the egg." Ginny blushed. Draco shrugged.
" It was the most fun anyway." He smirked." Where are you gunna hide it?"
Ginny looked at the egg." I dont know." She looked thoughtful, her eyes darkening with thought.
Draco watched her expressions change with appreciation as he sat.
" I cant leave it with me in the dorm...But I cant leave it alone outside either." She cursed easily, then continued to do so." Why dont I ever think things through?"
Draco hid a smile." Well...As Head boy I do have my own room." He commented.
Ginny froze, about to stomp her foot, and turned to him." Is that an offer of refuge for my egg?"
Draco shrugged." It's a suggestion."
Ginny frowned." Why would you do that?" She asked." Why are you being so nice to me? Normally you cant stand not to insult me."
" Do you want me to take the stupid egg or not?" He demanded.
Ginny's eyes glowed ember." Not if your going to act like a prat, no!" She hissed, sliding the egg inside her shirt and charging out, egnoring a glare shot by Madam Pince.
Draco groaned, he couldn't just leave it now, not know he'd seen how sexy she looked angry. He followed her, and catching up he grabbed her elbow." Slow down Red, thats not the way to my room."
" What makes you think im going there for? I dont need your help, your the son of a Death Eater. Id rather go ask Harry. He at least wouldn't tease me like you." She growled, trying to make him angry.
It worked.
" Potter let the last egg get sold didnt he?" He demanded, pushing her against the wall." Where the hell was he when you were lying there with that arrow in your leg?"
" Draco, your hurting me." Ginny said calmly, touching the holding her against the wall and off the floor by her abdomen.
" Would he have put the thing in his bag or given it to that idiot Hagrid?" He continued, not hearing her.
" Draco," Ginny said." Your hurting me. Put me down." Her voice was raspy.
Draco seemed to snap back into reality. He dropped her and stepped back. Ginny stumbled, falling to her knee's and the sharp pain that erupted took away from the pain in her belly. She slowly stood, panting.
" Thankyou." She told him." And id be happy if youd mind the egg in your room."
Draco looked up at her, feeling conflicted. Why had she waited until he'd hurt her before she trusted him?
" You have to show me the way." She comented, watching his inner turmoil.
He finally nodded and made his way past her." Sorry." He muttered sarcastically as he walked past her." The rooms this way."
