A/N- I wasn't going to update this fic so soon until I got a couple really wonderful reviews. The one that had the word "please" repeated numerous times was quite convincing and the other from the author of a really wonderful draco/ginny fic was also a nice push...


Chapter Four- Time is on my side

Ginny walked into the Great Hall at dinnertime only to see Harry giving her a seductive look. Well, it wasn't exactly seductive, but Harry apparently thought so. She immediately spun around and walked out again, but not before noticing Harry getting up and running toward her like a madman, arms flailing. She started to run as well. Just as Harry was catching up to her, she ran smack into someone and Harry ran smack into her backside. All three of them fell to the ground. Ginny, having been crushed from both sides, started sobbing with reckless abandon.

Immediately, four arms wrapped around her comfortingly. Draco and Harry froze upon feeling each other's arms. Ginny lay in between them crying as they glared at each other. "Hands off Malfoy!" Potter whinied, (yes, like a horse).

Draco was about to retort when he remembered what Potter had informed him of earlier that day. Ginevra, his dominating love, was already taken. He drooped his head sadly and let go of her. Harry, no longer feeling the competition, let go of her as well. They both sat there watching her weep in pain for a few minutes.

When she was done, she slapped Draco and then Harry soundly across the face and then ran off. Harry looked after her, stunned, while Draco looked extremely pleasured.


The library. In Ginny's anger and distress, she had run straight to the library. Stealthily, so as not to be noticed, she moved to the far corner of the restricted section. She took five books off of a high shelf and reached her hand past where they once stood. Retrieving her hand, she dragged out a blanket and then a pillow. She carefully replaced the books and crawled under the darkest table to take a nap. Nothing pleased Ginny more than being in the library.
"Now you always say that you want to be free- but you'll come running back, you'll come running back, you'll come running back to me... Oh, time is on my side, yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is..." a voice sang in an off-key way. Ginny's eyes fluttered open and she remembered she was sleeping underneath a table in the library. Someone was singing somewhere in the library around her. The voice was familiar...

She froze. Someone was singing in the library? How... DISRESPECTFUL! Ginny listened to the voice some more.

"Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town. And baby, do everything your heart desires. Remember, I'll always be around..." the voice continued, offending her ear.

She froze again, (if she had even unfrozen from the previous freeze), and realized who was singing. Harry Potter. She peeked out from under the desk and saw him perusing a bookshelf. No wait, it was Draco...

She froze for a third time. Draco Malfoy was singing in the library while perusing the bookshelves. This was not good. For the second night in a row he was in the library. No one did that besides Ginny and occasionally Hermione. Not recently even though, not since she started dating Ron...

Ginny fumed. Ron was seeing Hermione, Draco was singing and perusing guiltily in the library, Harry was being smarmy... what else could go wrong in her life? A book plunked down on the desk above her head and someone sat down, shoving their feet into her face. They were familiary feet- Ginny's feet...

She looked up at the seated person. No wait, it was Draco again. Why did he keep popping up all over the place. Should she still be using her tactic on him? Last time he had fallen asleep on her so it had worked pretty well then...

Sighing heavily, she decided that would be the best thing to do. She would ignore Draco Malfoy. Lazily, she reached over to grab a book from her stash to read while she waited for the intruder to leave. When her hands clasped around the book, it promptly bit her. She yelped and yanked her hand back. Angrily, she grabbed the book and threw it roughly out from under the table before it could bite her again.

The book landed on Draco's lap and he started screeching when it started to snap at him hungrily. The screech was easily identifiable- Ron. Ginny's heart surged with emotion. A monster book was attacking Ron and it was all Ginny's fault. She quickly snatched it from Ron's lap and threw it even further away, sacrificing her hands to being bitten many more times.

"Oh Ron! I'm so sorry!" she cried, hugging his legs, since they were really the only part of him underneath the table with her. Ron leaned down off his chair to look under the table. Oh wait, it was Draco after all.

Ginny quickly let go of his legs and scooted away from him. He pushed his chair back, plopped down onto the floor, and crawled under the table towards her. "You do love your brother!" he shouted, pointing a finger accusingly into her face so it almost poked her eye.

She grabbed his finger and twisted it backwards painfully. "I-do not-love-my-brother!" she growled, jaws clenched. He looked into her eyes and bit his lip as she twisted his finger even further back. When his eyes started to roll back in his head, she let go.

He looked at her hands and arms with concern. She had been badly bitten a good many times. He carefully took one of her hands in his and cast healings spells over it with his wand. With the same gentle matter, he healed her other hand and arm. When he was done, he began to kiss her fingers fervently.

Blushing slightly, she pulled away.

He looked into her eyes again, pained. "I-I'm sorry Ginevra, I keep forgetting you're..." he trailed off and gulped nervously.

"I'm what?"

"Dating Potter..." he lamented.

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Yes."

"I said no!"

"I said yes!"

"NO!"

"YES! YES YOU ARE!"

Ginny pushed him roughly so he hit his head on the desk overhead. "I know who I am dating Malfoy... and it is not Harry!" she spat, poking him in the chest with every word for emphasis.

Draco's expression turned horrified, "You're dating your brother?"

"God dammit Draco! I'm not dating anybody!" Ginny hit him in the stomach this time.

Draco looked terrified now, "Oh Gods Ginevra... YOU'RE MARRIED!"

Ginny slapped him repeatedly in the face until his nose started to bleed. Suddenly he launched himself at her, knocking her flat on her back, and embraced her tightly. Shaken, she just lay there at let him hug her and bleed all over her.

After a few minutes, she realized he had fallen asleep and his bloody nose was still going. Careful not to wake him, she spelled his nose to stop but did not bother to clean up any of the blood. Smeared all over his face like that, it made him look quite attractive.

His head was on her chest and his arms were still around her waist. She felt like a pillow. Nevertheless, she lay down her head, covered them in her blanket, and drifted into a deep slumber...
