Let me go ahead and get this straight. When I first began writing this, I did not know that her name was Ginevra…or at least I didn't think about it. I wrote this story over two years ago, if you can't tell. I began posting it a long time ago, and I'm going to finish posting it because there is no reason I should stop. I really think you people need to just grow up and get over it. Personally, I think Virginia sounds better, just because it makes more sense. If you can't deal with that, you really need to stop reading fan fiction, because everyone makes mistakes, and this is all about how the writer chooses to complete the story. I'm sorry if it's not your way and it's "horribly written and cliché" Well, I agree, but at the same time, I wrote this thing so long ago, I don't even have the time to revise it now. So if you really can't handle a few mistakes (that will be changed once I get around to revision) you really need to get a new hobby and stay off of this site.

Ranting done…

Chapter Nine: Library Scandals

Hermione nudged Ginny as they sat in Potions. When Ginny glanced over, Hermione mouthed, 'look at Malfoy.' Ginny nodded and looked over at Draco.

There he sat, staring blatantly at Ginny. His face was expressionless, but his eyes sparkled with regret. Ginny knew he was sorry about everything, but she wouldn't give in that easy. She simply raised one eyebrow seductively and blew a kiss to him.

'That was priceless' Hermione mouthed, struggling to keep in her laughter. Draco tilted his head sideways, allowing his confusion to show. Before he had a chance to do anything else, Ginny noticed a shadow come up behind Draco.

"Mr. Malfoy! It's so nice to know that my lesson is captivating your attention. I'm sure since you're so in tune with what I'm talking about, you'd love to write me a three parchment essay on it," Snape sternly growled, his eyes narrowed, hands clenched at his sides.

"Looks like someone's going to be at the library a long time tonight," Hermione laughed under her breath to Ginny.

"Isn't that perfect?"

"Damn that girl! I haven't had sex in weeks because of her…every time I even try to get intimate with Cin, Buffy, or, god forbid, Pansy, I see her face, smell her hair, of hear that intoxicating voice of hers. What I wouldn't give to shag her senseless, gah, wait! What am I saying? Bad thoughts!" Draco hit his head with the palm of his hand. Ginny snickered from her convenient hiding spot behind a bookshelf. Draco's extra homework was taking him so long; everyone else had already left the library.

'I didn't know I had such an affect on the boy! Looks like I'll have to use this to my advantage.' Ginny smirked and glanced down at the outfit her and Hermione had pieced together. The short denim mini-skit revealed her light legs which gave way to black heels that Demi found in her trunk. Her sip-up top revealed her flat stomach and was bright pink with small strawberries placed randomly around.

Frankly, the whole idea had been Ginny's, but Hermione, being the genius she was, had put everything together. She had spied on Draco for the rest of the day, listened to all his conversations, and found out his plans. Everything had to be perfect if Ginny was to successfully seduce Draco. To tell the complete truth, Ginny was nervous, not that she wasn't experienced in the area of sexual encounters. She'd made out with Dean twice on a dare, her and Neville had gotten pretty close to going all the way, and then there was Harry.

Only Hermione knew the full extent of what had went on with Harry the previous summer. They hadn't officially been "together," but Ginny had given it up to him. It was a spur of the moment thing and Ginny regretted it all. Harry now had a sort of an infatuation with her, but he didn't ever make it public. Ginny wished she could take it back, but she just cast the past as the past and went on with life. Ginny just considered herself lucky that Harry hadn't told anyone and only worshipped her privately.

So, as Draco continued to try and get Ginny off his mind to finish the extra Potions assignment, she sauntered out, swaying her hips and slightly sticking out her chest. She had to stop herself from smiling as Draco's mouth dropped open and his quill clattered to the floor.

Ginny bent down, back facing the open-mouthed Slytherin, grabbed the quill, and slowly rose back to standing. When she turned around, she saw Draco had the silliest grin on his face. "I believe this belongs to you, Mr. Malfoy," Ginny said in his ear and lay the quill on the table.

Draco nodded and stared at Ginny, not saying a word.

"Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting!" She apologetically smirked, sitting down on the table.

"Of course not," Draco finally managed to choke out.

"That's good. I wouldn't want to interrupt your important studies with petty desires…" Ginny traced the table top with her index finger while licking her lips.

"Huh?"

"Oh, Draco! Did you think that a young, easy girl such as myself could resist your untouchable-ness? Of course not! I need to have you for myself!" She watched as his eyes widened and finally a smirk overtook his face. 'I've almost got him! Just to make it more believable, then a quick turn on, and then…' she laughed inwardly.

Ginny took Draco's hand that had been laying on the table and put all his fingers down except his middle on, which she took into her mouth. After getting him with that one, she led his hand the zipper that held her shirt closed. Without even having to help him, he unzipped it.

Then, without warning, Ginny leapt forward and captured Draco's lips for her own. He deepened the kiss first, running his tongue along her bottom lip before letting it invade her mouth. He was such a good kisser, Ginny was reluctant to pull back, but after getting a few more minutes of his expertise, she did.

"What's wrong?" Draco panted, looking at her with questioning eyes.

"Well, nothing…except…" she bit her lip and tried her best to look seductive as she let herself hop off the table and into his lap. She gave him a couple of slow grinds that left him short of breath and extremely aroused.

"Except what?" He finally managed to ask.

"Except…" She drawled out, milking the moment for all it was worth. She still sat in his lap and could feel him against her. She resisted the urged to keep going and finally broke down. "I had you going this whole time," she laughed out loud. She jumped out of his lap and immediately zipped her shirt back up. She danced around the table, laughing at the confused boy.

"This was just a sick joke?" Ginny could hear the anger ebbing into his voice.

"A sick joke? Yes, to repay you for how well you stuck up for me the other afternoon," Ginny spoke sarcastically, jabbing Draco in the chest with her index finger.

Draco's faced burned with embarrassment and when he finally spoke again, his voice had a hard, shame-filled edge to it. "Don't touch me. I only did what was best for you, so don't accuse me of not sticking up for you. Do you know what us together would cause? Your life would be a living hell. Everyone that wants me would hate you and you'd have everyone breathing down your neck constantly. Besides the fact, when we met up at the Hog's Head a few weeks ago, Potter was there. Pretty soon, I'll have the 'Dream Team' on my ass every hour of the day, regardless of if we're together or not. Us getting together would just make it worse. And as if you don't know, Potter is obsessed with you, he doesn't even try to hide it, everyone knows."

Ginny took his momentary silence as a chance to jump in and say something, but Draco started up again.

"You know that's what everyone wants, Ginny. For you and Potter to be the 'Dream Couple.' You should just do what everyone wants and make it easier on yourself."

Ginny's eyes burned with tears and she took a short gasp of air before saying her piece. "I'm not everyone, Draco! Maybe you think this is wrong, but I want you…"

"Why even pretend this is going to work, Ginny? You dream too much of love. Jerk your head out of the clouds and come back down to reality!"

"Fine, Draco…but can't we give this a try? For love's sake?"

Draco stopped dead in his tracks. He turned and gave the one answer that was music to Ginny's ears.

"Yes…"

Yes…kind of short, I guess. But hope you liked it. Personally, not one of my favorite chapters, but it helps with the plot a little bit. I guess that's all that matters.
