A/N: This will be a short note… this was written for the Canon vs. Fanon Competition II, and the December Scavenger Hunt. The prompt for the hunt was a non- canon pairing. Thanks for reading! Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Ginny didn't know why she was going to Slughorn's Christmas party. Dean had gotten her upset over their fight they had, and she was running late. She figured that they would be moving onto the dessert course menu, so why should she bother?

She knew there was one very good reason why she wanted to go…and it wasn't to see Harry Potter. Somebody else was making her heart skip a beat, and readjust her hair, dress and accessories over and over again.

Ginny finally gave up on coming up with reasons why she shouldn't go and decided to head down there.

Blaise was the first one to notice her at the doorway, though he didn't say a word or move when she sat down. He did wear a pleased smile, and their eyes met briefly for a second before she greeted an unsuspecting Hermione.

They had sort of a friends with benefits relationship, though so far everything was emotional since Ginny was with Dean still, though she had a feeling they wouldn't be for long.

The party ended shortly after Ginny arrived, though she was grateful since she wasn't really in the mood for one.

A hand suddenly reached out when she reached the end of the hallway and pulled her into a closet. Ginny's eyes widened in surprise and she reached for her wand, but she sighed in relief when she realized it was Blaise.

He pushed her up against the wall and started tracing circles up and down her arms.

"What are you doing?" she asked him, squirming slightly against his touch even though she didn't mind it at all. That made her feel guilty, though she tried to push the feeling away.

"You…look beautiful tonight. Sad…but beautiful." His lips were suddenly kissing her neck softly, causing her to gasp softly.

"Blaise…" Ginny rested her head against his shoulder. She knew it was almost no use to protest because she had wanted to know what it would be like to kiss him.

She used all of her strength to push him away. "I can't do this. Not when I'm still with Dean. I'm sorry."

Blaise sighed. "Why are you with a guy who doesn't even have your heart?"

Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Are you implying that you have my heart?"

He smirked as he let his hand linger against her face. "Maybe…I think I would. If you'd let me. We have chemistry, and you know I'm crazy about you. I haven't kissed you yet."

"I wish you would," Ginny murmured, not realizing she said it until after she spoke. Blaise had talked about wanting to date her seriously before, but he hadn't admitted his feelings like this before.

"I'm kind of getting mixed signals here, Weasley."

Her cheeks burned, though she wished they wouldn't. "I know… things would get complicated if we do this though.

He nodded, suddenly serious. "I know. I really want to date you and be your boyfriend…we could figure that out later." Blaise stepped closer toward her and looked down into her eyes. "And for that kiss...we could blame it on mistletoe."

"Mistletoe?" Ginny asked incredulously, looking around. "There isn't any above us."

"I know, and I know it's silly. But people have to kiss under the mistletoe if they are under one. And since its Christmas, I really want you to have something memorable."

A laugh escaped her mouth, though she tried to stop it. "You're charming when you want to be," Ginny said, shaking her head.

"I know I am," Blaise said with a grin. "How about that kiss though?"

Ginny's thoughts went back to Dean and her thoughts were suddenly mixed with anticipation and guilt. She knew what the right thing was, but she was so tempted to cave in right now. She finally made her decision a moment later though.

"Mistletoe," she murmured before standing on her toes to kiss him.

The kiss caught him off guard for a second, though he responded by kissing her slowly and gently. She could feel the kiss to her toes, and she found herself wanting to deepen it. But he stepped away before the kiss lasted too long.

Their eyes met again and he smiled. "Merry Christmas, Ginny," he murmured softly.

"Merry Christmas," Ginny answered as the shock of what she had just done hit her. "I have to go!" She pushed her way to the door, and her heart pounded in her chest as she ran up the stairs toward the Gryffindor tower. She made the decision to break up with Dean as soon as possible. The guilt from the kiss wouldn't go away until she did.
