The bell finally rang and the students shuffled out in a hurry. Professor Snape had spent the entire class explaining the Advanced Healing Potion. It was one of those long-term projects he had promised at the beginning. So now the five Slytherins walked out of class, thinking over the class.
"That was the most boring class ever!" Pansy complained. "All he did was talk the entire time!"
Madison and Blaise walked together down the hall with Blaise's arm wrapped around Madison's waist. Madison and Blaise exchanged knowing glances. Madison said, "It wasn't so bad."
Pansy shook her head. "Did you really think we didn't notice you two kissing in the corner? I think even Snape noticed."
Madison blushed and Blaise smirked, bending down to kiss her. Ginny and Pansy looked over at each other and rolled their eyes. Then Pansy stopped. "I have class down this way you guys. I'll catch you at dinner."
With a wave, Pansy turned down the hall. Blaise looked over at Ginny, Madison and Draco. He said, "Me too. We'll see you later. And Ginny, by the way, brilliant show in Potions."
Draco, having been silent throughout this entire conversation, then spoke up. He added with a smirk, "Feel free to do it again."
With that he winked and strode down the hall before walking out of sight. Ginny smiled, trying to hide it from Madison who obviously caught the wink. Now Madison looked over at Ginny with an eyebrow raised. "Did he just wink at you?"
Ginny shook her head defensively, still trying to hold back a smile. But Madison, being her best friend, of course, caught it. "And you liked it...Oh boy..."
She ended with a smile and they continued walking down the hall to Charms.
Ginny and Madison walked into the Great Hall and instinctively walked over to the Slytherin table. Once again, Ginny felt the Gryffindors staring or rather glaring. She turned around to find the Gryffindor table indeed glaring at her. She caught Ron's eye and he immediately looked away. Well, at least he gets what I meant by punching him. I wish the other Gryffs would get it too. It's getting old. She took a seat in her usual spot and Pansy came strolling in, taking a seat by her as well.
"Hey you guys," she greeted with a smile. "What's up?
"Oh the Gryffs are staring at Ginny again," Madison answered, having noticed as well. Pansy shook her head.
"Do they ever learn?"
Just then, Blaise walked in, taking a seat opposite the girls. He waved at the girls, giving a wink and smile to Madison. Ginny and Pansy looked to each other and shook their heads.
"Ah, the Gryffs are staring at you again Gin?" Blaise asked, looking over at their table. Ginny nodded.
"So I am definitely not the only one who's noticed," she mumbled. The other three shook their head. Pansy looked up and noticed Draco missing.
"Where's Draco, Blaise?" she asked. Blaise swallowed down his food before answering.
"Head Boy duty," he said smirking. Ginny, Pansy, and Madison all smirked as well, imagining how fun it must be to watch over the other students. At the end of dinner, the four stood up, all heading out of the Great Hall.
"So where is everyone going?" Pansy asked them all. Blaise and Madison looked at each other with smiles on their faces. "Alright so we know where you two are going. Gin?"
"To study," she said with a small groan. "I have a huge Arithmancy assignment to do. So I'll see you all later..."
With that she waved goodbye to the group and headed to her rooms.
Draco stood watching a group of first years run by. Idiot first years, he thought. His shift was almost over now. He had been on this shift for a few hours, simply watching students stroll by. But his mind was occupied in thought. Somehow, his mind kept wandering back to Ginny. He saw her silky dark red hair and porcelain skin in his mind very clearly. He glanced down at his watch. Five till eleven. It was close enough to the end of his shift. He left his post and headed for the Astronomy Tower.
Ginny slammed her book shut, finally finished with her homework. She looked up at the clock on her wall. Five till eleven. Crap, she thought. I had no idea it was so late. Curfew is five minutes. But I really need some fresh air. She stood up, walking over to her window. Not good enough, she thought as she collected a warm cloak from her armoire. She opened her door and quietly slipped out, making her way down to their small living room. Thankfully, no one was there so she walked silently out of their rooms and down the silent halls. There were only a few stranglers left who were heading back to their common rooms but Ginny made her way up to the Astronomy Tower quietly. She finally got there, climbing up the stone steps into the small room. She pulled off her cloak and threw it hastily in the corner, walking up the open window. She leaned against the sill letting the cool air wash over her. Perfect, she thought. Then a familiar voice spoke out of the shadows.
"Thank you for so brilliantly aiming your cloak at my head."
Ginny turned around to find Draco Malfoy stepping out of the shadows. She smirked. "Why are you always in places you're not supposed to be? In the doorway of the Potion's classroom and then here?"
"Because I never want to miss anything important," Draco said with a smirk. Ginny smirked and turned back toward the window.
"How was Head Boy duty?" She asked sarcastically.
"Fabulous," he answered sarcastically as well behind her. "Nothing I love more than watching annoying little kids scurry back and forth all over the hall."
She turned back to him with a smile. "That great?"
He simply raised an eyebrow and stepped toward her. She looks gorgeous tonight, he thought. The way the moonlight hit her dark red locks made her glow like an angel. Ginny was having similar thoughts. Jeans and a t-shirt do him well, she thought. And the way the light shined through his hair... She shook her head and turned away from the window.
"Do you come up here often?" She asked him. He shook his head.
"Not really. Just when I need to think things over," he said, looking her in the eye. HE stepped towards her, now less than two feet away.
"Really...And what were you thinking about?" She asked softly. He stepped closer, closing the distance between the two. He was now a few inches away.
"You," he answered, whispering softly in her ear. She felt his hot breath on her neck and closed her eyes. He pulled back, staring into her eyes. She looked back at him, getting lost in the mercury pools that were his eyes. So lost was she that she didn't even notice when he leaned forward. She suddenly realized he was kissing her when she felt his soft lips brush hers. Then he pushed a little harder and Ginny pushed her hand behind his head, raking her fingers in his soft platinum hair. She pushed his head towards hers and he took the hint, deepening the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and gently pushed her back against on of the cool rock walls. She felt his tongue gliding along her lower lip, begging entrance. She sighed a little into his mouth allowing entrance enough for his tongue to slip in. He slipped inside, playing gently with her tongue. She kissed him hungrily back, feeling like fireworks were going off inside. All too soon, he pulled away, staring back into her caramel-colored eyes. Then with a smile and a wink, he turned and walked out of the Astronomy Tower.
Ginny stood their, fazed by what had happened. But she slowly lifted two fingers up to her lips, remembering the kiss they had shared a moment ago. Then she smiled. That was the best kiss I have ever had, she thought as she walked back to her rooms.
Draco walked out of the Astronomy Tower, still smiling. I have no idea why I just did that, he thought to himself. But I am sure glad I did. What is she doing to me? HE walked silently through the halls, still remembering the feelings of her lips on his.
Ginny woke up the next morning tiredly. Then she smiled. Draco Malfoy kissed me last night. She stood up and stretched out, walking downstairs. She saw Pansy and Madison sitting at the table once again, Madison draining a glass of orange juice and Pansy with a mug of coffee. She took a seat next to them.
"Good morning," she said brightly. Madison and Pansy both looked up at her.
"Well Gin, you're happy today," Pansy said with a raised eyebrow. Ginny just looked at them both.
"Really? Just the same as always," she said, getting up and pouring a mug of coffee.
"Sure Gin," Madison said with a smirk. "I'm not even going to ask what went down last night because you won't tell."
"You're right," Ginny said taking a seat.
"But it wouldn't have to do with a certain Mr. Malfoy, now would it?" Pansy asked with a smirk. Ginny nearly spit out her coffee.
"Where did you get that from?" She asked.
"Just the fact that Blaise said Draco didn't come back until late and you came in about the same time. I heard you, you know," Pansy said with a look. "But I'm sure it was just coincidence."
"Of course it was," Ginny said quickly, knowing they were onto her. "I'm going to go get ready."
With that she scurried off to her bedroom leaving Pansy and Madison behind.
"She was definitely with Draco," Madison said.
"Oh definitely," Pansy answered quickly.
Draco woke up the next morning with a groan. Idiot alarm clock, he thought to himself. He tiredly sat up, cursing mornings. Then he remembered the night before. That will make any man's day, he thought with a smirk. He stood up, walking downstairs slowly to take his usual morning coffee. He stumbled over to the coffee pot, reaching for a mug.
"Tired Draco?" A familiar voice asked behind him. Draco groaned recognizing it.
"Blaise what are you doing in here?" He asked turning around to find him sitting at his table.
"Just checking on my best mate, who it seems, had a late night," Blaise answered with a smirk. Draco scowled and sat down.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, reclining in his chair.
"I spoke with Madison this morning. It seems that a certain Virginia Weasley didn't get in until very late last night," Blaise answered, his smirk growing wider. "Actually, it was about the same time you got in. What a wild coincidence."
"Indeed," Draco answered, inwardly smiling at the memories of the night before.
"Weird how you both got in at the VERY same time," Blaise said innocently.
"Yeah really," Draco said, standing up. "Well, now that we're done with that, I'm going to get dressed."
"Alright," Blaise answered with a smirk as Draco walked away. Does he think I'm stupid, he thought to himself, taking a sip of Draco's coffee.
Ginny walked into the Great Hall with Pansy and Madison, taking a seat in their usual spots.
"So Ginny, what were you doing so late last night?" Madison asked slyly. Ginny groaned right as Draco and Blaise walked in. They took their seats across from them. Blaise, Madison, and Pansy soon immersed in a conversation, and judging from what they could hear, it was about them.
"Have they questioned you all morning too?" Draco asked looking over at Ginny with a smirk.
"Mercilessly," she answered, rolling her eyes. Then the shriek of an owl was heard over the Great Hall. The owls circled over all the tables, looking for their owners. Surprising, an owl flew over to Ginny, dropping a long rectangular red box on her plate. That's weird, she thought picking it up, I never get post. She pulled the cover off the box and gasped quietly when she looked inside. A single black rose complete with thorns lay forebodingly in the box. She dropped the box in surprise and noticed a small note in there as well. Fishing it out, she read it silently to herself.
We're coming for you.
She felt her face drain of color as she shoved the note back into the box, putting the lid back on. Suddenly, the box lit on fire, burning quickly into a pile of ash. She bit her lip fearfully and looked up. She found Draco Malfoy looking down at the pile of ash that used to be the rose. He looked up at her with confusion written in his face. She looked back at him, feeling a little scared.
