A/N-Okay, please tell me you were all aware that the website was completely screwed up for the last three days! I have been desperately trying to upload this chapter forever! I hope you understand that I had nothing to do with this delay! You may sigh in relief as I will be submitting chapter six shortly.

Chapter five

Ginny awoke a few hours later utterly freezing. The fire had gone out and the room was completely dark. She could hear Draco breathing peacefully as he slept. Ginny was already under the comforter but even that wasn't keeping her warm enough to fall back to sleep. Do I dare? Oh what the heck! I'll deny it in the morning. She already knew how much warmer he made her as a kitten, why not a human? Ginny scooted across to his side of the bed. Just being a little closer to him started to make her feel warmer. He must have sensed her warmth as well as he stirred and breathed her in. She felt his arms wrap around her and pull her into his chest. He breathed her in again and moaned loudly. Ginny giggled softly causing her lips to graze his chest. He breathed in deeply as Ginny's face began to tingle against goose bumps that had just formed on his chest and arms.

She was mortified. She hadn't meant to do that. Oh please don't let him remember that in the morning. Draco started to run his fingers through her hair which caused her to fall asleep comfortably. Ginny was awakened by Draco chuckling a few minutes later. She was angry now. "What is so funny Malfoy?"

He started laughing loudly as he kept his arms tightly around her. "Do you always purr in your sleep or should I feel privileged?"

Ginny gasped. "I wasn't purring….I was probably just snoring."

Draco kept laughing between his words. "You forget I have roomed with Crabbe and Goyle. I know snoring and that wasn't snoring. That was purring….I think I'll change your name from little Weasley to little Kitten."

Ginny kicked him in the leg again and started to move away. "Oh no you don't! It's too cold for me to get up and start another fire. The least you can do is keep me warm after I saved you." Ginny kept trying to wiggle away. "Come on kitten! Please? I don't blame you for purring. You are a Gryffindor. Just don't expect me to start hissing in my sleep. But something else may start slithering your way." Ginny kicked him again. "Look, if you keep me warm then we'll be even okay? You won't owe me anything for helping you tonight…..Deal?"

Ginny stopped wiggling and whispered as she scooted back to the warmth of his chest. "Deal." A few minutes passed by as Draco started playing with her hair again. "I still hate you Malfoy."

Draco chuckled. "Me too Kitten."

"Stop calling me that!" Ginny demanded.

"Alright, alright. Good night Kitten." Draco said but then blocked her kick this time. He squeezed her leg and moved it away. He pat her thigh softly. "Go to sleep like a good little kitty."

"Ugh!" Ginny turned over so that her back was to him. This proved to be a worse idea as he nudged his body against hers and now rested his hand on her stomach. What ever you do, don't rub it! I'll start purring again. Draco nuzzled his face into her hair and sighed happily.

He whispered into her ear. "Déjà vu."

"What?" Ginny whispered back.

"Nothing." Draco fell back to sleep and Ginny followed shortly after.

Ginny started blinking her eyes at the sun peering through the window hours later. She immediately realized that she was now facing Draco who was staring at her with a large grin. "Morning Kitten."

"Ugh! Why must you keep calling me that?" Ginny asked sounding extremely irritated and rubbed her eyes.

Draco laughed. "You were doing it again. And each time I played with your hair or rubbed your arm, you did it louder."

Ginny sat up quickly. "No I wasn't."

Draco shrugged. "Okay you weren't."

"Was I really Malfoy?" Ginny asked as her cheeks turned pink.

"Yes but I wouldn't be embarrassed about it. So you purr big deal. I think it's cute and I bet if you told Potter about it, he'd finally pay you some attention." Draco said trying to anger her which of course worked.

"I told you that I don't like Harry Potter! Now drop it you dumb prat!" Ginny kicked the covers off and pulled at the door handle. "Let me out you stupid git!"

Draco laughed and removed the locks on the door. Ginny stepped out and found Crabbe and Goyle waking up alone in the common room. They both looked at their watches and then at Ginny. "Malfoy was wonderful! He shagged me all night! I can't imagine either of you topping him so I think I'll be going. You wouldn't want to embarrass yourselves."

Ginny ran out of the common room leaving Crabbe and Goyle rubbing their eyes with looks of disappointment. They looked over at Draco who was beaming. "She's a feisty one that Weasley. But I think I taught her a lesson. Anyhow, I want you to know that she's my property from now on which means if I catch either of you near her….." He began to whisper evilly as he gave them looks of rage. "I'll kill you."

He slammed the door triumphantly and lay down on his bed. He grabbed the pillow Ginny had slept on and brought it too his face. He breathed it in deeply and mumbled to himself. "Strawberries."

Ginny sighed as she made into her dormitory. What a night! No more Malfoy for at least two weeks! Ginny thought to herself remembering that after the Hogsmeade trip, the two week break started. She decided she would go to Hogsmeade and try to transform herself for the fun of it before she engrossed herself in her studies.

Ginny walked down the road to Hogsmeade alone and realized that not too many students had decided to come. The snow crushed beneath her shoes as she tightened her scarf around her neck. She decided to try her transformation near a fence in front of the shrieking shack. She had her back to the road and was staring intently at the fence. I'm a kitten. I want to jump up on the fence and look for something to chase. Ginny suddenly felt a huge snowball hit her head hard. She whipped around finding Pansy Parkinson balling up another in her hands. "Parents can't afford to bring you home for the holidays Weasley?"

Ginny smiled. "Yours couldn't stand your ugly sight so they asked you to stay behind?"

Pansy shrieked loudly. "I'm not ugly you poor blood traitor! If I was, how did I get Draco?"

Ginny chuckled to herself and didn't realize Draco was coming followed by Crabbe and Goyle. "Is that what you think Pansy? You've got him? When's the last time he's told you he loved you? When's the last time he kissed you? By the look on your face, not recently. You can keep telling yourself he's yours Pansy but I think you're sadly mistaken."

Pansy started stomping her feet and throwing a tantrum. She whined loudly. "He does love me! He kisses me! He's just been busy lately!"

"God Pansy do you have to screech that loud? We could here you clear from Honeydukes." Draco yelled as he massaged his temples.

Pansy continued to whine. "I'm sorry Drakey poo. Another head ache? I wish I knew what caused those."

Draco squinted in pain. "I have a few ideas. So what's going on here? Is my Little Kitten here trying to prove her undying love for me?"

Ginny glared at Draco as Pansy looked back and forth between the two of them. "What do you mean your little kitten Draco?"

Draco grinned with his eyes glued to Ginny and completely ignoring Pansy's stare. "Just a name I've given her."

Crabbe and Goyle both laughed menacingly. Pansy now looked at them dangerously. "What? What's going on?"

Draco shrugged and then finally looked at Pansy. "Let's just say that I taught her a lesson last night."

Pansy covered her mouth and shook her head. "What are talking about? You and her….You didn't."

Crabbe and Goyle smiled as Draco laughed. "Why would that bother you Pansy? It's not like she didn't put up quite a fight. I have the bruises to prove it. Look at my leg." Draco started to pull up one of his pant legs but stopped as Pansy raised her hand in the air.

She swallowed hard and continued to whine. "Do you mean to tell me that you have me available to you at any time of the day and you still chose to sleep with this filth that doesn't even want you?"

Draco stroked his chin pretending to consider her words. "Yes I believe that's it in a nutshell. But I wouldn't be so sure she doesn't want me. I mean it did take me all night but she finally came around. I happen to think she enjoyed herself."

Ginny watched in horror as Pansy gripped her wand in her hands. She looked over at Ginny in disgust. "It's all your fault!"

Ginny pulled out her wand and cast the bat bogey hex on Pansy. She started to run as she heard Pansy's screams but Draco grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back. "No, no, no Kitten."

"Let me go you git!" Ginny squirmed and kicked her feet violently.

"Shhh." He whispered into her ear. "Now be a good little kitty and remove the hex."

Ginny stopped squirming as he gently released her. "You just said horrible things to her and now you want me to help her?"

Draco nodded and smiled. "Welcome to my twisted relationship with Pansy. Now if you could just remove it quickly. Her screaming is making me nauseous."

Ginny scoffed and removed the curse. "You're terrible to her you know that? I don't like her one bit but you, you are supposed to be her boyfriend! How could you treat her like that? Telling her you slept with me! How is that supposed to make her feel Malfoy?"

Draco looked appallingly at Ginny. "Who cares? I've been trying to rid myself of her for years. It's her fault if she can't take the hint, not mine."

Ginny pushed him away and ran towards the castle. She stopped towards a tree and realized they were far away but heading towards her. I need to climb up this tree. I need to climb up this tree. She transformed and started trying to dig her claws into the bark. This isn't as easy as cats make it look. Ginny made several attempts to climb it that were all unsuccessful.

Suddenly, she was scooped up by someone who she soon heard to be Pansy. "Oh look Drakey poo! I love cats!"

She thrust the kitten into Draco's arms. He pushed it away. "What do I want with a stupid cat Pansy? I know, why don't you cuddle up to her tonight. Then maybe you won't come begging me to sleep with you!"

Crabbe and Goyle sniggered behind them. Pansy cooed. "Oh stop being such a grump Drakey. I think I'll keep her. She's adorable."

Draco sighed heavily. "Great, you've found yourself a girlfriend. Can we go now?"

Pansy shrugged indifferently and hugged Ginny closely to her chest. Ginny was meowing and gasping for air. Draco grabbed the kitten from Pansy. "Good God Parkinson! Couldn't you see her eyes bugging out of her face? You're going to smother her just like you do to me! I'm going to my room and NO that is not an invitation Pansy! I'll see you guys after break."

Draco stalked up the steps with the kitten and Pansy called out to him. "Bye Draco! Happy Christmas!" Draco didn't respond and slammed the door behind him.

He entered his dormitory and laid Ginny down on his bed. He kneeled on the floor becoming eye level with her. "So how've you been Red? Has little kitten um Weasley taken good care of you? I'm sorry I scared you that day. Have to keep my reputation up you know?"

Ginny just blinked up at him curiously. Please don't place any locking charms on the door! I need to study. Draco just stared at her and pat her gently. "She was in here you know. I know I said you were the best thing in my bed in ages but I'm sorry to say she topped you. You don't mind though right?"

Ginny held her tiny head up proudly. "Meow."

"Well I guess it's just you and me for break precious." Draco said as he scratched the base of her tail.

Oh yes, me like…Wait, what? You're not going home for break?

"I can't stand the manor at Christmas time anymore so I'll just keep you company."

Oh joy, Malfoy for two weeks. I can barely control myself……How in the heck am I supposed to study if I'll be stuck with you?

"Are you hungry Red? Me too. Let's go down to the Great Hall for dinner." Draco scooped her up into his chest and hid her in his robes. When he sat down at the Slytherin table he noticed there were only a dozen students that decided not to go home. He looked around and then nodded. He took Ginny out of his robes and sat her on the table. Ginny flicked her tail absentmindedly as she stared at Draco. He stared back with his chin resting on his hand and a grin across his face. "You're cute you know that?"

Yes, you've told me that. The food appeared on the table suddenly. Yes! Roast and potatoes. Ginny sniffed Draco's plate carefully as she glanced up at him. He didn't seem to mind so she dug in to some pieces he pushed to the side of his plate for her. After dinner Draco took her outside. "Alright then Red, go do your business. I'll be back in five minutes if you want to come back inside."

Okay this is my chance. Ginny hurried down the steps and under the stairs. I need to change back so I'm not stuck with Draco for two weeks. I need to change back or else I'm going to freeze out here. I need to use the bathroom. Ginny found saw some lose dirt and walked over to it. She rolled her eyes. This is so humiliating. I need to be Ginny again!

Draco called for her after a few minutes. "Here kitty, kitty."

Ugh! I'll try again tomorrow. Ginny started climbing up the stairs with difficulty. Draco seemed to notice and walked down to meet her. "We'll be here all night if you keep that up." He scooped her up. Bless you!

They returned to his dormitory and Draco placed the locking charms on his door. He changed into his pajama pants and jumped on the bed. Um hello! I'm sort of stuck here on the floor! "Meow."

"Oh sorry. Come here love." Draco grabbed her and placed her on his bare chest…Again. Mmmmm. You're warm. Yes behind my ears. Now my tail. Good boy.

"You sure do purr loud….Hey that reminds me of someone. That Weasley girl purrs while she sleeps. She sounds just like you. I've never heard a girl do something like that before. And trust me I've heard a lot of things in this room." Ugh, you pig. "I should probably stop messing with her though. Things are getting a little too close if you know what I mean. Besides, she's in love with Potter. Ouch!" Ginny swiped her claw at his arm. I am not in love with that stupid git!
