No Cold Front

Draco opened the door as quietly as he could. He peered around it carefully. There was nobody there. So where did the humming come from? Puzzled, he entered the moonlit room slowly. Suddenly a familiar voice gasped, "Malfoy!"
"Weasley?" Draco asked.
"What are you doing here?" they asked at the same time.
"None of your business," came the answer from both of them, Draco's a bit curter.
Ginny stepped from the shadows. There was no point in hiding anymore. Malfoy wasn't a teacher and hopefully he would be nice just this once and not get her in trouble. Wait a minute. How could he? If he told on me, he'd have to explain why he was out after curfew.
"I didn't think anyone else knew about this tower," she said out loud.
"Then you thought wrong," Draco replied, wandering over to one of the windows without a further cutting remark.
The old astronomy tower they were in wasn't known among many students because the stairs to its entrance were hidden within a crevice that looked a like a dark shadow in the wall. As for the door, it only appeared if you had good intentions of using the room. Ginny knew about it from Fred and George. She had no idea how they got in, seeing as they usually used it to try out new pranks without anyone knowing. They told her no one else knew about. Apparently, Malfoy knows about it too. Pity, she thought.
Draco stood at the window, looking out at the dark grounds.
"So what are you doing here Little Weasel?" he asked out of curiosity. Why he was curious he had no idea. At least it was better than standing around doing nothing.
"Couldn't sleep. You?" came the simple answer from her, though it sounded a bit muffled.
Draco turned around to see why, and saw that her jaw was moving as she gazed out the window on his left.
"What are you eating?"
"Peanut butter and jelly," she answered, turning to face him. "You still didn't say why you were here."
"Couldn't sleep either." he didn't say it was because she was on his mind. "What exactly is peanut butter and jelly?"
"Are you telling me you never tried this? You really miss out on a lot thinking everything invented by muggles is dumb. Wanna try some? I've still got half a sandwich left."
"Um...sure," Draco answered, not really sure at all.
Ginny walked back over to her cloak and picked up the other half of her second sandwich. She went over to him and held it out.
"Here."
Draco took it at looked at it skeptically. The bread was squishy and some of the strawberry jam oozed out from between.
"Are you sure its good to eat?"
"Of course it is. I haven't died yet have I?" Ginny said, retreating to the window she was at earlier.
Draco watched her leave, and when he thought she wasn't looking, he took a small bite of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Ginny watched Draco out of the corner of her eye, wondering what possessed her to give him part of her sandwich. He was being pretty nice, she thought. Also, the fact that Draco had never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich surprised her. She felt a little pity for him as well. Whose father was so obsessed over being pureblooded that he never let his child try peanut butter and jelly?
Ginny continued to watch Draco, and couldn't suppress a smile when she saw the look of pleasure on his face as he chewed. He took a second bite.
Draco couldn't believe the muggles had invented such a good thing. He chewed slowly, savoring the taste of strawberries and peanut butter. Too soon it was gone. He looked up to see Ginny watching him.
"Well?"
"I suppose it was pretty good," he said.
"Pretty good?" Ginny laughed. "Looks like you enjoyed it to me!"
"Enjoyed watching me, Little Weasel?" Draco couldn't resist smirking.
"Must have been the first time I ever saw you without that cold front on your face," Ginny replied.
