Chapter 6

Ginny looked up startled into the eyes of the black haired girl she'd seen at the ball.

"I don't think my brother would be to kind if he caught you looking at his scrolls," she spoke with a smile.

Ginny stuttered stupidly, "I.. ere… you see…err."

'So this girl was his sister,' Ginny thought. She should of known from the start because they both had the same colored hair and startling emerald eyes.

"Don't worry about it I won't say anything to him," she giggled. "I'm Alice Potter by the way. You must be Ginevra Weasley, I would have spoken to you at the ball, but you see I was a little to busy."

Ginny nodded, "It's Ginny."

Alice nodded. They both stayed in an awkward silence before Ginny spoke up again.

"Why am I here?" She asked causing Alice to look up from the parchment she had in her hand.

"I don't think I am allowed to tell you that. But the captain, my brother, would like you to join him on the deck. He wants to speak to you," Alice stated.

Ginny shook her head, "Well you can tell that arsehole I do not wish to speak to him."

Alice grinned, "He's not going to be happy about that, but are you sure?"

Ginny nodded before walking back over to the bed and laid down facing the wall with her back to Alice.

Alice walked out the room silently locking the door behind her. She walked up the stairs to the upper deck, looking at Harry as he stood at the wheel. He looked at her questionably, noticing that the red head was not with her.

"She refused to come," Alice said simply, watching as his face turned from confusion to frustration in one quick second.

"What did she say?" He asked, anger laced in his words.

"She called you a arsehole, and simply said she did not wish to speak to you," Alice replied grinning.

Harry frowned, then glared at his sister, as if it was her fault Ginny refused to speak to him.

"Steer for a while Alice, I'm going to have a little word with our guest," Harry growled, stomping down the stairs.

Alice giggled at her brother, then stood behind the wheel. She looked up at the sails and noticed a familiar blond tying ropes together. He must have noticed her watching him, because when he caught her gaze, he winked, causing her to blush faintly.

Harry unlocked his door to his cabin. He opened the door silently, looking for the red head. His eyes widened when he noticed it was empty. 'How could she of escaped?' he thought. 'The door was locked. Unless…' He eyed the wardrobe at the far side of his room.

He quickly locked the door placing the key back in his pocket, he walked towards the wardrobe. Listening just in case she had found another hiding spot.

As he neared the wardrobe he kept his eyes alert, they scanned through the room. He knew what she would go for, the key it was her only chance of getting out of this room.

His hands grasped the handle, as he was about to turn it, he heard a floorboard squeak from behind him. He turned just in time to see a flash of red, when pain erupted in his shoulder.

Ginny swallowed thickly as she watched him walk towards the wardrobe, she knew that would be the obvious hiding place. So she decided to go for a different one and hid under his bed. Making sure that when she climbed from under it, the floorboards wouldn't squeak.

She gripped the small dagger she had found on his desk. As he passed the bed she slowly shuffled forward, making sure that she was as quiet as a mouse. No even quieter knowing him, he'd probably be able to hear a mouse.

She crept up behind him as he stood in front of the wardrobe, she pulled out the dagger and took a step forward, but to her horror the floorboard squeaked. Acting on an impulse she swung the dagger forward, hitting him in the shoulder.

Taking a step back as he fell to his knees, griping his shoulder Ginny kicked him in the head, making him fall face first onto the ground. Grasping her chance to get the key, Ginny dug through his pockets. But was soon stopped when a tanned hand gripped her wrist tightly.

Her eyes widened as she looked up meeting two angry looking emerald eyes. She struggled trying to get out of his grip. He took her other wrist and pinned them both above her head. He straddled her, his knees either side of her as he ripped the dagger from his shoulder.

Ginny bucked her hips trying to force him off her. Her eyes widened with terror. He wasn't going to rape her was he? She grimaced as he ripped the dagger from his shoulder. It shocked her when he didn't show any pain.

"It takes a lot more then one tiny dagger to make me flinch," Harry growled, glaring daggers at the red head beneath him.

"Get off me!" Ginny snarled bucking her hips in a weak attempt to escape.

Harry let out a humorless laugh, "I'd stop if I were you. You're too weak to buck me off and will only end up hurting yourself."

Ginny stopped suddenly, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "I'm. Not. Weak."

Harry grinned cockily. "If you're not weak then how your attempts on getting me off you are failing?"

Ginny continued to glare at him, choosing to ignore the last statement. "Let go of me!"

"I would but, I'm afraid that I know your going to attempt to hit me once I get off."

Ginny huffed. "Then leave!"

"I will, once I've got a few rules straightened out." He stated standing up but keeping Ginny's hands held in his.

"What rules?" Ginny snapped. "I thought they wouldn't apply to me since I'm here against my will!"

He grinned, "Yes but your on my ship, so you will follow my rules."

Ginny gritted her teeth together glaring daggers at him. If only looks could actually kill a person.

"Rule number one: you will follow my orders. Rule number two: you also will be staying in here till I can find a cabin more suitable for you. Got it? Good," He finished not waiting for her to reply.

"Why don't you take your stupid rules to hell!" Ginny yelled, struggling against his grip against her wrists. She stomped on his foot, hoping that he would let go, but to her horror he didn't.

Harry smirked at her, then spun her around slamming her back against the wardrobe. "If you're going to put up a fight dearest Ginevra then I might as well tell you now. You. Won't Win. So I'd stop the attempts."

Ginny kept her mouth shut, still glaring at him. 'Why do I have to be so weak.' She thought bitterly. 'To think growing up with six brothers would have make a difference. But somehow it didn't.'

Harry waited for her to speak but noticing she wasn't going to, he let go off her. "Your free to roam the ship. But once I tell you to get back here. I expect you to. No buts." He then turned on his heal leaving the door open as he exited.

Alice grinned as she sat on railing, watching as Draco sat and tied the cannons securely to the ship.

"Don't you think Harry and that Ginny would make a great couple?" She asked, staring out to sea grinning. "They suit each other, they're both stubborn from what I can see and I don't care what he says, it's obvious he's brought her aboard cause he likes her."

Draco rolled his eyes as she babbled. He didn't mind it but he had learned to nod after a minute so she would think he was listening.

"Do you think they'll get married?" She asked excitedly. "Ginny Potter, I think it goes don't you? I wonder if they'll make me godmother of their children. I love kids, don't you Draco?"

"Yeah sure they're great," Draco muttered, pretending to concentrate on the rope.

"Are you even listening to me?" Alice scowled, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes, you were talking about children," Draco answered, looking up at her.

Alice looked at him suspiciously, "You're a good liar, but you can't fool me Draco."

Draco looked at her for a moment, staring deeply into the emerald pools of her eyes.

Alice's heart raced when he moved closer. Her eyes widened as he came closer and closer. She let her eyes close, waiting for his lips to meet hers. She stayed still for a moment waiting but she didn't feel anything. She hesitantly opened her eyes, only to blush furiously when she noticed he was holding a feather in front of her face. "This was in your hair," Draco stated simply. Handing her the feather, he turned back to his work.

Alice looked at the feather in her lap trying to force the blush off her cheeks. She felt so stupid. She looked round on the deck and noticed that everybody had retreated to below deck for supper. A faint light could be seen from the captain's cabin.

"I think I'll just go get supper. Do you want any?" She asked him, not looking up to meet his gaze.

Draco shook his head no. He looked up at her and noticed she was looking at her lap, rather then him. He grinned knowing. "I already ate," he answered.

"Oh, I'll see you in the morning then," Alice whispered, getting up and walking towards the door that led below deck. Just as she walked past him, Draco grabbed her wrist and spun her round, crashing his lips against hers.

Alice's eyes widened in shock. She stared at him for a moment before closing her eyes. She wrapped her arms round his neck as she felt his arms snake round her waist, pulling her closer.

Draco slowly pulled away from Alice leaning his forehead against hers, giving them the opportunity to regain their composure.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that," he whispered, a small smile playing on his lips as he hugged her closer.

"Then why didn't you?" Alice asked.

"I was afraid," He answered quietly. Draco felt his cheeks heat up, it wasn't everyday he admitted he was afraid.

"Why?" Alice questioned, trying to figure out what he could be afraid of. She was stunned when he didn't answer, just stared at her. She kept silent for a minute before the answer dawned on her, "Oh."

"I wouldn't do that. I would never do to you, what she did to Harry!" Alice exclaimed, horrified he had even thought she would.

"I know. But you never know in this world." Draco answered, kissing her once again, signaling he wanted to end the conversation.

Alice pulled away grinning. Draco looked at her questioningly. "You're the one telling Harry," Alice giggled.

Draco groaned. "Fine, I will."

Alice looked at him in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah," Draco grinned, "In a million years."
