The next few weeks flew by quickly for all the Hogwarts students. The school days consisted of classes, homework, snogging for Ginny and Draco, as well as Madison and Blaise, and Quidditch practice every evening. Everyone seemed to be enjoying these nights except Pansy, who was still single, and miserable with being left out of the snogging sessions and Quidditch practices. So the school year brought them to late October, with Halloween only a week away and the first Quidditch match, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin only a day away.
"Finally," Ginny muttered as the bell rang signaling the end of a very dry Ancient Runes. The Professor gave Ginny al look, but Ginny simply shrugged it off and gathered up her belongings, pushing her way through the throng of students. It was another of those incredibly long days where nothing could end soon enough. She was physically and mentally drained from Quidditch practices and homework. But then there was Draco, she thought. She smiled and continued walking quickly until she reached the Great Hall. She noticed Pansy and Madison already seated and she walked over to them, setting down her bag and dropping onto the seat with an exasperated sigh.
"Hey," she said, letting her head rest on her hand. Pansy smiled over at her in greeting as Madison looked over at Ginny.
"Hey Gin," she said with a smile. "How were your classes?"
"Long," Ginny said with a yawn. "Yours?"
"Same," Pansy answered as Madison nodded vigorously. Then Draco and Blaise entered the Great Hall and walked towards them. Ginny looked over at Draco and immediately smiled. It always cheered her up to see him. HE saw her and gave her a smile in return, coming up on their table with Blaise.
"Hello beautiful," Draco said, giving her a soft kiss before sitting down. Blaise was doing similar with Madison and Ginny looked piteously over at Pansy who let out a sigh. Ginny gave her an empathetic smile and turned back to Draco.
"Hey handsome," she said with a smile. "How was your day?"
"Incredibly long and boring," he said tiredly. But then he smiled. "Better now that I'm here with you..."
"You are so sweet," Ginny said, leaning over the table to give Draco another kiss. She felt Draco smirk against her lips.
"You know, we should probably try not to kiss as much in front of Pansy," he said as he pulled away looking down at her. "I almost feel sorry for her."
"Yeah, more for later anyways," Ginny said with a wink. Draco raised his eyebrows.
"Whatever you say," he said with a smirk. "I like your thinking."
Ginny simply smiled seductively as dinner appeared. The conversation was light throughout the meal and the five chatted until dinner was over. Gradually, the group stood and walked out of the Great Hall.
"Well, Blaise and I are going to leave," Madison said with a smile. Ginny and Draco smiled as Pansy rolled her eyes. Blaise raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" He asked looking over at his girlfriend.
"Yes," Madison said taking a hold of his hand and smirking as she waved to the group. With that, she pulled a very happy Blaise away from the group. Pansy now turned glumly to Draco and Ginny.
"Now you two are going to run off too aren't you?" She asked. Ginny immediately gave her a piteous smile and looked at her.
"No, not tonight," Ginny said to Pansy who immediately brightened. Ginny and Draco had discussed this over dinner. Draco had some pre-game things to take care for Quidditch and Ginny felt like she should hang out with Pansy for a while. Ginny smiled at the now cheerful Pansy. "Tonight, it's just you and me. We'll have a girl's night."
Pansy sighed contently. "That sounds great. You have no idea how boring it is to be all alone with my best girl friends out all the time!"
Ginny grinned. "It'll be fun."
She turned to Draco. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow before the game?"
Draco smiled and pulled her into a kiss. They heard Pansy let out an unhappy rebuttal so they kissed for a second longer before pulling away.
"Maybe sooner," Draco told her, slipping a piece of parchment in her hand. She raised an eyebrow in his direction and with a last peck, he turned away and walked down the hall. Ginny smiled and unfolded the note.
Meet me in the Astronomy Tower at curfew. Love Draco.
Ginny sighed happily and turned to Pansy with a broad smile painted on her face.
"Why are you so happy?" Pansy asked as they walked to their rooms. Ginny just continued smiling.
"Just thinking how lucky I am to have Draco," she said happily. Pansy looked over at her with a pleading expression.
"I know you love him and everything, but could you please, please try not to talk about him the whole night like you usually do?" Pansy pleaded. Ginny laughed.
"Sure, I'll do that for you," Ginny said throwing an arm around Pansy's shoulder.
Draco gave her a quick kiss on the lips, before turning away with a smile on his face. On his way out to the Quidditch pitch, his thoughts were on Ginny, as they were almost always. The entire day he'd spent thinking of her and seeing her at dinner was just what he needed. He loved to see her, so full of life and vibrant. So he'd arranged for a little extra time for the two of them. She's going to love it, he thought happily. A perfect date for the perfect girl, he thought. He smiled and walked onto the Quidditch pitch.
Ginny nervously checked the clock. A quarter till. She nervously chewed her bottom lip as she watched the second hand click around.
"Um, Ginny. Just a guess but I think you have enough nail polish on that toe," Pansy told her. Ginny looked down in horror at her toe that was now covered in red nail polish. Pansy laughed as she hastily applied nail polish to her toe. "Are you going somewhere Gin?"
Ginny continued repainting her toenail. "Why would you say that?"
"Because you have been checking the clock for half an hour," Pansy said looking at her knowingly. Ginny looked up at her guiltily. Pansy immediately guessed what was happening. "Alright, go meet Draco."
Ginny looked at her with a huge smile. "Really? I mean, I know this was supposed to be our night..."
"Positive," Pansy said with a small smile. "If it's so important that you can't even concentrate on having fun, you really need to go. Plus, it'll give me time to think of available boys at Hogwarts..."
Ginny looked at her with an empathetic smile. "Don't worry Pansy. It's only a matter of time until the perfect guy shows up," Ginny said giving her a quick hug.
"I guess so. But you need to get out of here," Pansy said with a grin. "GO get ready."
"Thanks so much Pans," Ginny said with a huge smile. With that, she rushed upstairs, slipping into a pair of pinstriped black slacks and a low cut black cashmere shirt. Brushing her hair out of her ponytail from earlier, she rushed back down the stairs, waving goodbye to Pansy happily and running out the door.
Draco's fingers closed around the Snitch for the fifteenth time and Draco flew down to the ground. He pulled up the sleeve of his cloak and checked the time. Ten thirty. He packed away the ball in the crate and did a Levitating spell. Locking the trunk in the broom shed, he walked into the school. I have just enough time to get ready, he thought. He couldn't wait to see Ginny again. He had seen her only a few hours ago, but already he longed to her again. He smiled as he walked down the emptying corridors on his way down to the kitchen.
Ginny rechecked her watch again, seeing that it was only a few minutes until eleven. She tiptoed silently up the steps to the Astronomy Tower, trying not to let anyone hear her. After all, she was out after curfew. She arrived at the final step and pushed open the light wooden door. She gasped with surprise when she saw what lay before her. Candles were everywhere. In the windows, on the ground, on elegant silver candle holders. There was a large dark red blanket spread on the ground, covered in different desserts. There was chocolate cake, chocolate covered strawberries, tarts, and quaint bowls of ice cream in a large wicker picnic basket. Besides that, there was a large bottle of champagne with two crystal glasses. And standing against the ledge of one of the windows, stood Draco Malfoy. He was clad in black slacks and shiny black shoes and a dark blue silk shirt that was slightly unbuttoned at the top. He was also holding a large dark red flower in his hand. And he could not have looked sexier, Ginny noted. She looked up at him with her hand over her mouth.
Draco heard soft footsteps coming up on the landing and he placed the last thing on the blanket, the bottle of champagne. He backed away, flower in hand, and leaned against the cool stone walls right as the door creaked open and Ginny stepped in. Draco fought to keep his mouth shut. She looked beautiful. There was no other word for it. He watched as she took everything in, raising her hand to her mouth. She looked up at him, with eyes of surprise and love. She walked over to him, her high heels clicking against the hard floor. He held out the rose which she gracefully accepted, raising it up to her nose to smell it. She smiled at him warmly.
"Like it?" Draco asked, already knowing the answer. He knew the answer when he saw her expression. Ginny walked closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed him softly on the lips.
"It's amazing," she whispered. Draco smiled and led her over to the carpet. He sat down, helping her to sit next to him. She took his hand in hers and gave him a wam smile. "I can't believe you did this. Why?"
"Because I wanted to see you and show you how much I love you," he said, pouring two glasses of champagne. Ginny looked at him, eyes filled with love. He handed her a glass.
"That is so sweet," she told him softly. She scooted across the blanket to where he was sitting, and leaned back into his arms. "I love you so much."
Draco smiled and bent down to kiss her. She kissed him eagerly back. After they broke away, Ginny simply laid back into his arms, enjoying the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around her.
"This is the best moment of my life," she whispered to him.
"Me too," Draco said softly as they gazed out the window to the stars.
