A/N-All I'm going to say is...Enjoy yourself...I know Ginny and Draco will!

Chapter 32

Ginny kissed Draco gently and wished him good luck as he set off for the pitch. He didn't kiss her back which was a first. He was paler than usual and had a look of worry on his face. Ginny thought she better discuss it with him after the match and walked with Emmery and the trio to watch Slytherin against Ravenclaw. Ron and Hermione were whispering about something and kept looking back at Ginny. She was beginning to feel offended and cleared her throat quickly. "Something you want to share Ron?"

Ron opened his mouth to respond but was slapped in the back of the head by Hermione. He rubbed where she hit him and shrugged. Hermione smiled sweetly. "Just ignore him Ginny. I'll tell you later." Ginny trusted Hermione more than anyone so she accepted the statement and decided to wait patiently.

Ravenclaw was ahead by ten points and Ginny could tell Draco was frustrated by the way he was flying. Ron was boasting about something to Harry and they both toppled over in laughter. Ginny became angered. "What is so funny you two?"

Just then Draco was slowly flying by looking for the snitch and Ron called out to him. "Hey Malfoy! How's the view from behind? I told you he would out fly you!" Draco looked over at Ron and Harry laughing at him. He smirked, made an obscene gesture, and flew away leaving Ron and Harry hysterical. "If he only would have listened! He has all the money in the world and keeps the same broom. I just don't get it." Ron said to Harry as he wiped a tear out of the corner of his eye.

Ginny smiled as she thought of Ron's comment. She decided to respond on Draco's behalf. "You know Ron, even Draco knows that money isn't everything. There are some things in the world that just grow on you and are worth keeping. He appreciates certain things and is very loyal to them."

Ron looked at her and surprisingly enough, knew the hidden meaning. Draco had proven to be decent and devoted to Ginny. Hermione smiled at Ron realizing that she wasn't going to have to spell it out for him. The Ravenclaw seeker caught the snitch just as it was inches from Draco's finger tips. When Madam Hooch called the game both teams returned to the changing rooms except for Draco. He flew directly towards the castle and stomped up the steps in a huff. Ginny excused herself from the group and hurried towards his dormitory.

She stepped out of the portrait hole and found him reading a crumpled piece of parchment that appeared it had been read several times already. Draco began removing his shirt slowly. She could tell he was in a lot of pain as the Ravenclaw seeker had taken him for quite a ride. He began tocrumble the parchment slowly in his hand and shut his eyes tightly. Not knowing how welcome she was in his room at that moment she whispered. "Is there anything I can do?"

He looked her way quickly not realizing she had come in. "No I'm fine. I just wasn't in the mood to hear it from your brother and Potter at the moment. I thought I'd head to the prefect's bathroom before anyone else and soak a bit."

Ginny sighed and wondered about the parchment. She was about to ask but something told her to hold off. "You flew wonderfully you know. I just love to watch you fly."

Draco cut her off. "Nice sarcasm. You love it huh? You love to watch me lose!"

Ginny gasped. "Well no. I just meant that-"

Draco interrupted again but was now yelling. "You meant that you came up here to make me feel better about losing! Well I don't need that right now Ginny! I came up here to be alone but apparently that's impossible!"

For the first time ever, Draco made Ginny feel like Pansy. He was looking at her as if he wanted nothing more in the world for her to disappear. Ginny's eyes filled with tears and she headed for the portrait hole. Draco called after her. "Don't you want to critique my strategy tonight? I'd love to hear about all the things I did wrong!"

Ginny stopped quickly and turned to look at him not bothering to hold back the tears. "What are you talking about? I've never once said anything negative about the way you fly! I don't know what's gotten into you Draco Malfoy but you better figure it out quickly." Ginny began to scream. "And if you even think that this is how you are going to treat me from now on you've gone mental….I AM NOT PANSY!"

Ginny stormed out of the portrait hole and stomped towards the exit. Suddenly she felt Draco's arms wrap around her. His voice was cracking and nothing more than a whisper. "I'm sorry Ginny. I'm so sorry. I-My-He's back."

Ginny turned around quickly to face him. She couldn't see his face of course in the dark passage. "Who's back you git? Voldemort?"

"No…..My Father…Some sort of technicality. But it's most likely that he simply paid Scrimgouer off. I just received word from him. He wants me to meet him in a few days. He's acting as if he doesn't know about us…As if nothing happened." Draco's voice was still cracking. For the first time, Ginny sensed fear in him.

Ginny sighed in relief. "So that's what all this rubbish is about! I thought we had reached the end there for a minute. Bloody hell you're a prat! Come on, let's get back to your dormitory."

They walked back in silence and sat down on the bed. Draco was tense and silent. Ginny ran her fingers through his hair. He finally spoke but with more certainty now. "I just couldn't bear to lose you Ginny. You're everything to me…..I love you Ginny."

Ginny jumped up and screamed. "I love you too!" Draco looked a bit of guard at her reaction. "Oh I'm sorry…It's just that I've been dying to hear you say that to me for ages. I uh…Can we change the subject? I feel stupid now."

Draco laughed silently and nodded. "I thought you knew how much I love you. I guess I should say it more huh?"

Ginny gasped. "Say it more? You never said it at all Draco!"

Draco playfully gestured for her to be quiet. "If you keep yelling at me like that I won't ever say it again. But seriously Ginny, I wasn't anticipating my Father's return. We should really discuss our options."

Ginny sighed happily and ignored his seriousness. "Draco, everything is going to be fine. Let's not think about it tonight. You can speak with Dumbledore in the morning. He'll know what to do." Draco nodded but by his look, Ginny could tell he was still thinking about it.

She started talking about her upcoming match and the final exams in potions. Draco was looking at her but not really listening. He was rubbing his hands nervously together and shifting back and forth. She became frustrated and began to kiss him deeply.

At first he kissed her with less passion than he could show a distant relative but was suddenly aroused as Ginny's hand slipped inside his pants. He was now kissing her strongly and began to remove her shirt and bra. He kissed her breasts and slowly removed her skirt. Ginny smiled at him as he took off her panties. He kissed her inner thighs softly and teased her with his tongue. Ginny gasped in anticipation and guided his head to her now favorite place to be kissed.

She was pulling at his hair as she felt the familiar warm sensation that sent shocks up and down her body. Draco smiled and began to lie next to her when Ginny quickly sat up and began removing his pants. Draco had a look of shock as his mouth was wide open and eyed her with interest. She pulled his warm body on top of her longing for him to be inside her. Draco supported himself on his forearms and ran his fingers through her hair. She whispered in his ear. "It's okay."

He whispered back as he looked into her eyes. "Is it?" He kissed her softly and she smiled. He slowly opened her legs with his own and looked at her again. "Are you sure Ginny?"

She smiled again. "I've never been more certain about anything in my life Draco."

Draco grinned and softly began to move into her. Ginny quickly grabbed at his shoulders hard and breathed heavily at the first few thrusts. She was very tense but wanted him to continue. Draco moaned as he more easily moved inside her. He grasped her hand strongly and kissed her cheek. Ginny began to move against him welcoming his thrusts more simply as she began to relax.

After a while, Ginny noticed the room was almost completely dark as the sun was setting. She was beginning to feel that familiar warm sensation as he was moving faster and deeper inside her. Draco's breathing became just as deep as hers as he softly moaned her name. She began breathing more rapidly now and felt as if the room was spinning. Draco propped himself up and looked down at her as he continued to move inside her. Ginny placed her hand over her own mouth as she moaned uncontrollably. Draco smiled but then too became overcome and moaned loudly not bothering to try and cover up. He had such a grip on her hand that Ginny thought it may break. When his thrusts finally ceased he lay on top of her breathing heavily and his entire body quivering like hers.

Ginny started to cry softly and held onto him for dear life. Draco whispered breathlessly. "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"

"No it's just that….Well that is exactly how I thought it was supposed to be. It was just wonderful." Ginny was overcome with emotion. Draco smiled and kissed her gently.

He whispered in her ear. "That is exactly how it will always be between us Ginny. I love you."

"I love you." She replied as they cuddled and stared into the fire. Ginny kept replaying it in her head as Draco looked at her lovingly. He felt so honored and privileged that she had finally trusted him enough to be so intimate with him. He had never made love to anyone in his life. Sex had always been nothing but an outlet for him to release his frustrations of life. He never cared much about who it was with but now, he couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else. Suddenly, his thoughts ran about all the possible ways he could lose her.

He began stroking her stomach with his fingertips and realized she had fallen asleep. He stared down at her sleeping so peacefully and wondered how he could possibly protect the woman he loved so much from all the evil that was to come. He was completely prepared to face his Mother. He was even prepared to face Voldemort. He wasn't however, prepared to face the man he had been trying so much to forget. How could his father even consider that Draco would agree to meet him? Did he honestly take Draco for a fool? Draco's thoughts raced on throughout the night until he finally fell into a restless sleep holding the woman he loved.

They awoke almost simultaneously as the sun peered through his window. Draco began to stretch and yelped in pain. Ginny sat up quickly and looked at him very concerned. "Are you alright?"

Draco smiled and kissed her. "Well after a match like that and well…A night like that, I should have gone and soaked for a bit. I think I'm paralyzed."

Ginny giggled in embarrassment as she blushed. "I'm sorry. You did mention the prefect's bathroom didn't you? Well it's still early and I doubt anyone's up yet. Let's get going."

Draco thought it was a bit daring to go together but he threw all caution to the wind and got his trunks. They walked into the bathroom hand in hand and changed. Ginny stepped in and sighed softly. She noticed something funny about Draco but thought it best to ignore it. Draco stepped in after her and moaned loudly. "Thank goodness! If I was any stiffer I-"

Ginny set off in a fit of laughter. Draco didn't understand what was so funny at first but then looked down at himself and chuckled. "Well it's the morning you know and well….Oh never mind. Nothing I say will fix that comment." He shook his head in defeat.

Ginny smiled evilly and then glided over straddling him. "Maybe you can't fix it….But I can."

Draco raised an eyebrow at her. "Great, I've created a monster."

Ginny laughed again as she removed his shorts and her bathing suit bottoms. She guided him inside her and wrapped her arms around his neck. He grasped her thighs and pulled her against him slowly. They moved together and kissed passionately. Draco whispered into her ear. "I don't think I'll be able to walk after this thanks to you Weasley."

Ginny smiled and continued to move up and down in the water. As the momentum of his thrusts increased Ginny thought she would pass out with the mixture of passion and temperature of the water. After some time, they moaned together and Ginny lay limp on top of him. They kissed again as Ginny found her seat back on the steps and lay her head back. Draco did the same and tried to regain any functions or movement in his body.

When he was finally able to, Draco led them out of the water and they changed back into their clothes. They realized it was too late in the morning to be roaming the halls together so they parted ways and Ginny headed for the Gryffindor common room. It was just plain luck that she didn't seem to be noticed by anyone as she walked up the stairs to her thankfully empty dormitory. She threw herself on her bed and screamed into her pillow as she thought about what they had just done for the second time and that Draco had told her he loved her. She felt extremely fortunate to share such intimate moments with him. She began to think back on all those years that she hated that self-centered Slytherin. All those years he had tormented her and her family. She would have had the laugh of her life if someone had told her she would one day be in love with him, make love first the first time to him, the Prince of Slytherin.

Ginny was almost asleep. "Ginny?"

She suddenly smiled widely. Had he felt her thinking about him? "Yes Draco?"

"I do love you Ginny. I just wanted you to know that. I'm sorry for the way I acted last night. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way."

"I had already forgotten about it Draco and I love you too. Are you going down to breakfast?" Ginny thought as her stomach grumbled.

"In just a bit yes. You?"

"I'm starving."

"Then I'll see you there."
