Chapter 16: Keep Warm

Ginny and Draco finally arrived at Hogwarts; it was a quiet evening, only the sounds of the cold air blowing could be heard, as they drew nearer,

"Listen Weasley, I want to apologize for my behavior earlier…" Draco finally said breaking the silence,

He finally swallowed his pride and admitted to her he was wrong, for once

"Don't...you don't have to…I know how hard this is for you…and I understand…" she tried to explain before she could open the door

"But I want to…" Draco said from behind her

"What did you say?" Ginny asked as she turned around to face him

"I know you heard me…don't make me repeat myself because I rarely do this…" Draco said a bit annoyed

Ginny smiled as she looked at him, saying he was sorry meant a lot to her already, opening the door, with Draco still behind her, it felt really cold even indoors,

She looked at Draco and noticed his lips were a bit pale; he was shaking as they walked

"Draco are you okay?" Ginny asked concerned

"Yeah, I am…" he replied trying to act that the cold wasn't bothering him at all, he didn't want her thinking he was weak,

His father taught him never to show any sign of weakness especially to people who weren't as superior as they were

"Don't lie to me ferret…" Ginny said teasingly, as she came closer to him, examining his eyes,

She could tell whether a person was lying to her just by looking at their eyes, she was pretty good with that and that scared her brothers about her

"Okay Weasley! I feel a bit cold okay? Just stop staring at me like that…it's creeping me out..."he said as backed away from her

"See how better it is to tell the truth?" Ginny said with a smirk,

"What are you doing Weasley?" he asked, as she drew nearer and all of a sudden pulled his cold and freezing hands to hers,

Warm, it felt good he thought to himself as they continued walking

"Trust me ferret…" she said to him with a smile pulling him forcefully

He was surprised that Ginny cared he was freezing cold, no one ever cared even if he got sick,

Ginny was the first one to ever see through him even if he was good with hiding his fears, weaknesses and sadness from everyone around him

Being with Ginny made him reconsider that the world wasn't filled with people, who only saw him as a useless human being,

His father had always told him the world was cold place and was filled with people who couldn't love care less for anyone but themselves

Ginny was different, he thought to himself, she didn't hesitate to try to work with him even if he was selfish and arrogant, he started coughing he was starting to get a cold

Luckily they arrived at Ginny's common room, "Come with me Malfoy…" she teased but didn't mean it in an insulting way, he didn't hesitate to follow her in

She made him sit in the couch, where the place seemed empty, everyone was fast asleep, she handed him a cup of hot chocolate, and "Here…drink it…" she said seriously

"Thanks…" he said taking the cup from her hand, as she sat down next to him

"Still filling a bit cold?" she asked looking at him, taking another sip before answering

"Yeah, I think am catching something…" he said sniffing a bit and just like that Ginny wrapped her arms around him,

Almost spilling the hot chocolate, he was saddened by what she just did

"Weasley? What are you doing?" he asked unsurely, turning red

"Keeping you warm…" Ginny said looking at him with a grin

He had to admit that he liked it, her body felt warm against his; he placed the cup on the side, placing his arms around her as well

"Draco? What are you doing? I don't feel cold…" Ginny said in shock thinking he must have thought she was cold as well

"I know…" Draco replied tightening his arms around her, pushing her closer to his chest, she could feel his heart beat through his chest and it felt different,

She didn't want the moment to end, neither of them did

He pulled her chin up; she noticed how his lips were still a bit pale,

"Your lips…are cold…." Ginny said placing her finger on his lips,

"Maybe you want to warm them too?" he joked as he met with her lips, she was stunned when Draco had kissed her but she had an urge to feel how his lips felt as they touched

It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, Draco was just a person like she was even if he was a Malfoy, and always will be,

His kiss made it feel like there was more to her life then she thought, it felt as if she's always had him, it didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and that started to weird her out

Every time they touched, it got even a little bit deeper; Ginny closed her eyes and surprisingly placed her arms around his neck as she lay down on the couch,

as he started running his fingers through her shirt, she felt the warmness of his touch

"We better stop this…" Ginny said as she pushed his chest a bit from her, stopping the moment they had

"Yeah, I guess…" Draco said as he sat up straight again, they said nothing afterwards, as soon as he finished his hot chocolate,

"I better go…thanks for the hot chocolate…" Draco said as he stood up and headed for the door when Ginny was able to grab his sleeve

"Your welcome…Draco…" she said stood up and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, running to her room, not looking back, Draco just held his cheek, and wondered to himself,

What is this feeling I feel? Feeling his body heat up
