He then grabbed her waist and pressed his mouth to hers, hands sliding to the bottom hem of her singlet and reaching up underneath it. He continually caressed her back as he moved her backwards.

He was as graceful as ever, even in the heat of the moment. Ginny's mind went blank as his thumb moved in circles on her hip.

God why do I always have mental blanks when something like this is happening?

I don't know must be that Weasley gene?

Which you happen to be!

Ha! Like you know the truth! Ginny was having another on going battle in her 'mind'.

Shut up you know nothing, or do I know nothing? No I know a lot, oh, oh god that feels good. Where did her lear-errrr. She couldn't concentrate when he touched her like that; he was so unique in his ways.

The touch of his hands was cold, like he'd been out for a walk in the December rain. His touch was powerful and burned like frost bite. The Slytherin Prince was just as 'cold' as the rumors said.

The two had been standing in the middle of the room on the rug, but as the kiss had got more passionate he had surreptitiously moved her backwards till the backs of her kneecaps had hit his bed. Draco pushed on her and in turn, she fell pulling him with her onto his bed.

Her hands had wound themselves into his hair but as he put more force into the reciprocations, as they battled for dominance, they had made themselves down to his waist and were now pulling on the drawstring of his pants.

He broke the kiss "Do you want this?" he panted still catching his breath.

"Would it really matter?" she looked up to him, her best innocent look focused at him as he smirked down at her mumbling a 'no' before beginning to suck on her neck.

Ginny opened her eyes as she thought of the position she was in, of what had happened over the past term and how this was changing her life.

Not that it matters much, not that I care.

Oh but you do care.

What do I care about?

I dunno I just know you care about something…

He pulled back up to her mouth and started to pull her singlet up and over head. Before long his pants and her underwear were lying uncared for, on the floor. He pushed into her with a groan from both of them as they began a fast paced motion.

They were both sweating as she reached. She gasped and arched her back, pushing him more into her, her nails scratching up his back leaving red stripes with peeling skin. He gasped in shock, not expecting the slight sting that accompanied it. Knowing he had not finished and realizing it was up to her, she went down on him. (A;N/ I'll leave the details up to you. :P)

There was no love, no foreplay and no 'screams of ecstasy'. They were simply a teenaged witch and wizard and that was it. They had been sworn enemies for far too long to have love at this stage, if any and Ginny was pretty sure Draco would anyhow be incapable of any sort of love for a while yet when it came to her and in return to. But that suited her fine, as she did not believe in love like that. Love to her had no definition, this, whatever it was in any context, was sex, liking and lust.

Afterwards, as they lay there, Ginny felt a burning on her right hipbone where Draco had been once again drawing circles with his thumb. She gasped in pain as the white hot burning increased. She sat up stared at Draco, then at her hip then back a Draco. Her mouth was wide with horror and anger.

"What. The. Fuck. IS THIS?" she yelled pointing down at the two initials that now resided on her skin. D.M. was now tattooed neatly in a curvy green ink on her bone.

"It marks you as my own, my equal-" he started.

"YOUR PROPERTY MORE LIKE!" she was agitated and pissed at him, she had known something like this would happen, it always did.

"It's a mark of equality, yea it shows we are betrothed BUT it also ensures no one touches you AND if they did, I would know."

"And how about YOU, how do I know that you won't go off with some little whore?"

"I have way too much decency for that."

"So now I have no decency, is that why you gave me the tattoo, you thought I would hook up with some random?"

"I never said that"

"You implied it and that's just like saying it!"

"The tattoo works both ways if you must know; you will feel any strong emotions I feel just like I will feel yours."

"You know what Draco Malfoy, Fuck off, I don't care." With those words she got up, slipped on her pajamas and stormed out of his room and tower.

Draco lay back down, hands resting behind his head. He knew something like this would happen.

Ginny had consistently and convincingly avoided Draco for the rest of thee holidays, only seeing him during meals. Draco knew better than to approach her whilst she was still angry, besides his mother assumed he was taking care of her, entertaining her each day and neither Draco nor Ginny were going to say anything to his parent about them avoiding each other. If they said anything, Lady Malfoy would have forcefully 'invited' them to make up.

On the last day of the holidays Draco had come in searching for her. Even though she was still angry at him he invited her to sit with him and their year mates on the train, of course after she said hello to Luna of course. She merely raised an eyebrow at him before pushing past him.

Ginny walked along the corridor of the train, she was counting the compartment numbers till she came to compartment 34, Draco's compartment.

As she slid the door open and stood there she took in the scene before her. Blaise and Morticia talking to Greg Goyle, once again assuring someone else they were simply friends with benefits and in the corner a disgusted looking Draco sneering at Pansy who happened to be draped all over him.

They may have been fighting, but Ginny, just like a true Malfoy, did.not.share. The ugly bitch faced whore was trying to get his attention and horribly failing but still, she was TRYING to get him to cheat on whatever they had.

"Parkinson, unless you want Drakie to throw up I would get off him if I were you, oh and stop slobbering down the front of his robes." She drawled. Pansy just glared at her before her brain processed the sentence.

"Listen here, Weasley, Draco will never like you, he will never be with you fully and remember you're a Weasley and that, is all you will ever be, that and shit under my foot." She spat as she got up and pushed Ginny out of the compartment.

"Listen here, poopsie-"

"Pansy" Ginny sneered of course she knew her name, god the girl couldn't tell when someone was being sarcastic.

"Whatever, you touch me again and I will hurt you so bad that the only way for you to communicate is through blinking, you get me?" Ginny growled through clenched teeth.

"ENOUGH, both of you!" Blaise shouted as he pulled Pansy into the seat between him and Morticia and pushed Ginny in between Goyle and Draco. The ride would be peaceful, he would make sure, but the tension between the two girls was unavoidable. Draco had told him and Goyle about his little pet with Ginny and all three of them were surprised she had even showed up though they didn't show it.

The rest of the ride was quiet with the exception of meaningless small talk and the occasional hiss from Pansy as Ginny taunted her. It really had nothing to do with Draco, they just hated each other.

They walked into the hall and all sat down at the Slytherin table. No one noticed Ginny's absence at the Gryffindor table until dessert…

yes, yes it was short! ps- havent been bettaed so its a bit dodgy!
