I'm sorry it's late and it's not particularly long. Things have been so manic this last week and I'm struggling to fit writing time in with Wedding and honeymoon stuff. Never mind the fact that we're one person down at work so I can't sneak any writing into my breaks!

I will try my best to get a couple of longer and better chapters out soon (I didn't mind this one but not sure how good I am at mild smut!)

I've a couple of things which should happen in a few chapters so I'm going to try my best to get them out before I go away.

Thanks as always for the lovely reviews.

On the other hand they would be alone in the house and he could think of a lot more exciting things to do with their time…
Ginny woke up the next morning feeling bright and cheery, something Ron had always moaned at her about in the burrow. He told her she was too cheerful and sickeningly upbeat when she woke up. Generally Ron took at least half an hour and most of his breakfast before he was even half awake.

She stretched and heard a knock at her door. "Who is it?" she asked.

"It's me." Replied her mum. "Can I come in?"

Ginny jumped off her bed and opened the door with a big grin. "Thanks for my birthday mum. It was such a cool idea. I can't believe I'd forgotten – I'm such an idiot sometimes." She noticed that her mum didn't look so happy.

"Mum, what's up?"

Molly took her hands and sat on the bed with her. "Your dad and I have to go away for a while on Order business. Most of us have roles to play and they will be dangerous ones. Before you start – no you can't come. I'm sorry love but it is for us adults only. I'm sure we will all be fine but we have to act on this information."

Ginny sat there looking shocked at how calm her mother seemed.

"Your dad has spoken to Draco and you two will have some very important work to do too."

Ginny brightened noticeably at this; she hated being left out the whole time. Hadn't she faced Death Eaters before in the ministry? If Dumbledore was still here he would understand. "What are we going to do mum?"

"We want you to search through all of Dumbledore's paperwork and books to see if you can find anything useful, for our cause and to help with whatever powers you may have."

Ginny groaned. "That's not important… That's just fobbing us off with some boring job no one but Hermione would want to do."

"Ginny!" Molly scolded. "Academic help is just as important as physical help. I've told you about taking that kind of attitude." Ginny grumbled but conceded; she knew how hard it was to argue with her mother once her mind was made up.

Ginny and Draco said their goodbyes to her parents and also to Remus and Tonks who had arrived to get some of their belongings and had been chatting to Draco while Molly had her talk with Ginny. Once they had gone Ginny felt quite sad and it seemed to her as if the house had grown enormously without her friends and family there.

Draco could sense her sadness and suggested they make some breakfast together. Ginny raised her eyebrows at the thought of him cooking but decided to go along as it took her mind off everything else. She decided that she wanted to go American and have pancakes for breakfast so she started to make a batter. Draco offered to help so Ginny told him he could mix the ingredients together. Unfortunately as Draco was very inexperienced at cooking he ended up getting flour all down himself and wasn't very impressed with Ginny's giggles.

"I don't know what you think is so funny." He replied haughtily. "I do my best to help you cook to cheer you up and you're mocking me."

Ginny laughed harder "You look ridiculous." She squealed.

Draco picked up the flour container from the side and dumped it over her head. She stood still in shock for a moment and glared at him. "Do you realise how long this will take to get out of my hair? That's it – you're in so much trouble."

She turned her back and Draco thought she was sulking until she turned back with an egg in her hand and threw it at him, hard.

Draco almost smirked when his seekers instincts helped him catch the egg, until he realised that he was now holding a sticky mess in his hand. Ginny's eyes widened as he approached her with his hand outstretched.

"Not my hair." She wailed, running as fast as she could to the door. Ginny was too slow and got a big gloopy mess all down the small of her back. She spun around, showering the walls with egg and flour as her hair flew around her.

"You… you-" unable to think of a decent word to fit her mood Ginny instead pulled out her wand ready to throw a hex, but Draco was too quick for her. He grabbed her wand hand and pulled it behind him so she couldn't aim at him. When she flailed her other hand wildly, he grabbed that one and pulled it behind him too, meaning that he had pulled Ginny very close against him.

"Now, you know I don't have a wand - hexing an unarmed man isn't very Gryffindor of you now is it?" Draco smirked.

Before Ginny had a chance to reply he had bent his head and kissed her passionately, teasing her mouth open with his tongue. Ginny soon forgot her anger and instead became flushed with lust; Draco was so intense with his kisses she simply melted into his arms.

Draco deepened the kiss, wanting to explore her mouth completely; she tasted like fresh summer fruits and he couldn't get enough of her. Ginny finally pulled away gasping for air and feeling slightly dizzy. Draco smiled at her flushed face and full, just kissed lips. He stroked his hand across cheek and traced the line of her jaw. When he ran his fingers lightly down her neck and shoulder blade Ginny shivered with pleasure and looked up at him, her bright chocolate eyes shining with joy.

Again Draco pulled her close and claimed her mouth; Ginny clung to him for support and Draco manoeuvred them backwards until Ginny was leaning against one of the counters.

Draco put his thumb under her chin and gently tilted her head to expose her neck; he blew away the flour left there and then kissed and nibbled the sensitive spot just below her ear causing a low moan to escape from her lips. When he heard that soft noise Draco couldn't help but press himself against her, he could feel the effect she was having on him and was trying hard to control himself.

Ginny sucked in a breath as he pressed her against the counter with his body and she felt him grow harder. She could feel a tingling and warmth blossoming between her legs as she started to kiss his neck in the way he had done to her. Draco let out a moan of his own, grabbed her hips and pulled her hard against him. "Gods Ginny." He growled in her ear.

Ginny nibbled his earlobe and murmured, "Looks like I don't need my wand to cast an engorgio on you…"

Draco pulled his head back to look at her, smirking at the thought of such a sweet looking girl saying something so naughty. "I'm sure there's a more pleasurable way to create the effects of a redicuio without a wand too."

He reached around her waist with the intention of lifting her higher on his body but unfortunately he put his hand directly into the gooey eggy mess he had caused earlier. "Yuk." He said pulling his hand back quickly and looking annoyed. Draco looked round for something to wipe his hand on but Ginny, now freed from his embrace, pulled her wand hand back and cast a scourgify over the both of them. She also cleaned the walls and floor which seemed to have suffered just as much as she had.

She took a step back and waited for her heart to slow down. "I think I'll make breakfast on my own today. I'll start you off with something easier at lunch time." Ginny grinned grabbing the ingredients and starting again. She was slightly relieved for the distraction, she wasn't sure exactly what sort of a relationship she had with Draco, or how far she wanted things to go with him. What Ginny was fairly sure about was that she would have a great deal of difficulty stopping Draco or herself if she was in that sort of situation too many times. Merlin could that boy kiss!
