Chapter 2

Avoiding Draco Malfoy was really hard. Ginny had forgotten about the fact she would see him 3 times a day at meals, so she just tried as hard as she could to avoid eye contact. That was hard as well because she found herself looking at him whenever she though no one would notice. When he caught her looking at him he would wink at her, which infuriated her, but she still couldn't make herself stop. And her dreams were full of him, which made her wake up feeling awfully flushed. This had to stop, but Ginny had no idea how to do it.

Walking one day down the corridor with the Room of Requirement concealed she decided to try to ask the room to show her what she needed to fix all this. As expected, it didn't work, but as she was doing this she heard the voice of Draco Malfoy behind her again.

"Reminiscing Weaslette?" Ginny groaned.

"Why did you do this to me Malfoy?"

"You challenged me. I couldn't let you have the last word." He smirked. "I could let you have the last moan though."

Ginny scowled. "Fine, I liked it. Happy? Could you just leave me alone now?"

"I could never do that, but if we both enjoyed the experience, why don't we just keep doing it?"

Ginny was dumbfounded. "What? We can't do that! What are you thinking?"

"Sure we can," Draco replied. "It would just be meaningless sex, no strings attached. What do you think?" Ginny couldn't believe what she was hearing and from the look on Draco's face he was serious. But she couldn't help but be curious. As Draco watched this indecision on her face he started to walk a little closer to Ginny and then pulled her towards himself just as, as it had done before, the Room of Requirement showed itself again. Draco pulled her again to the door and revealed the same room Ginny had woken up in. He pulled her in and closed the door, again putting a silencing charm on the door.

Ginny's mind was racing. She knew she shouldn't be doing this, but she couldn't bring herself to stop what was happening. Her memory of how it had felt last time flashing before her eyes every time he came near her. So when Draco came up and began to kiss her, she kissed back. He quickly began to undress her, undoing her bra with great skill. Ginny began undoing the buttons of Malfoy's shirt, but fumbled a little. Draco stopped kissing her and laughed.

"I forgot you technically haven't done this before," Ginny felt very uncomfortable at this moment, but quickly forgot it when Draco said, "Don't worry Weaslette, it's just meaningless sex." He took off his own shirt and began to kiss her again, moving closer to the bed.

After it was over Draco disengaged himself from Ginny and stood up, immediately beginning to get dressed, while throwing Ginny's clothes to her also. Even though Ginny had it in her mind that people, after having sex, were supposed to lie in each others arms, she realised as she got dressed that that wouldn't have felt right with Malfoy. She now knew what he had meant by 'just sex' and a small smile crossed her face.

"So, shall we do this again sometime?" Draco asked once they were ready to leave the room.

"You really mean it Malfoy?"

"Yeah, we all need something to relieve the stress sometimes. This doesn't mean I'm going to be nice to you though."

"Ok then, fine." Ginny couldn't believe she had just agreed to that, but she had to admit to herself, it was really good. "How often is this going to happen?"

"When we feel like it. I'll give you some kind of sign. Cya later sex buddy." Draco left the room. Ginny stood for a moment collecting her thoughts. Draco Malfoy was her sex buddy. She thought that she should feel disgusted with herself. She thought she should feel that same dirty feeling she felt on the morning after the first time. But she didn't. She felt like her normal self again. Before she left the room she whispered a small "thankyou" to the Room, for showing her that sleeping with Malfoy again was what she had to do to fix her problems.

----

As the year went on Ginny kept up her 'sex buddy' deal with Malfoy. A wink had become the sign. During meals or passing each other in the corridor, if one of them caught the others eye with a wink, it was the cue to quickly find a way to the Room of Requirement. If either of them didn't want to, then they just avoided eye contact.

Sometimes it was quick before a lesson, or longer, during lunch, in the evenings or weekends. The Room of Requirement also altered its appearance as well. Sometimes a bedroom, beach, bathroom and even a broom closet. The broom closet actually became a favourite and it began to make a regular appearance.

Hermione was noticing a difference in Ginny as well. She seemed happier, but would not disclose what was going on whenever Hermione asked. When she asked Harry if he was the reason for this change, he said no, but he suddenly felt a small pang of jealousy, thinking that maybe someone else was responsible for this change.

One particular day Ginny was walking down a corridor on the way to the library and she passed Malfoy who was on his own. As they were alone, neither of them bothered to wink. They just started to walk with each other towards the room. However, along the way they came across a normal broom closet.

Draco stopped in front of it and opened the door. "Well?"

Ginny laughed. "Yeah why not?"

As always, both enjoyed the experience. Afterwards, instead of instantly beginning to get dressed they leant against each other, feeling the others warmth and their last kiss lingered just a little longer than usual.

"A job well done by me as usual," Draco said. Finally, moving away from Ginny.

She laughed. "And of course, I did nothing."

"You did a bit." Draco smiled. However when Ginny saw this smile she noticed it wasn't just a smirk like he would usually show, but a genuine smile. She paused, looking into his eyes, that weren't cold and dark as he smiled, but were warm and inviting. As Draco noticed her looking at him so intently his smile faltered and he looked away. He finished dressing and turned to look at Ginny again. "So.. I'll see you next time then."

Ginny smiled at him. "Yeah, you will."

"Why are you smiling at me like that?"

"I don't know. You just looked different for a second before. Like you were, nice, or something," At this Draco laughed.

"Ok, cya next time." But before leaving, he kissed Ginny quickly on the lips. Ginny became confused. Why did he kiss her? He never kissed her after they were done. Ginny decided that she just had to forget it for now and see if it happened again.

-----

The goodbye kiss became a regular thing, as did his smile that showed up more often now, but no matter what Ginny thought she might be feeling towards Malfoy, she told herself that it was nothing and that they were still 'just having sex'. But her heart began to flip flop every time she saw him and she wished for a wink every time. She wished for their last kiss to linger just a little longer.

Another problem was beginning to arise in Ginny's life. Harry Potter was once again showing her affection beyond friendship. He had begun grabbing her hand in the corridors or holding her as they sat in the common room. Ginny wasn't sure what to think about it. She had tried asking Harry about it, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Her only stress relieving time was her 'encounters' with Malfoy and she wasn't sure that she wanted them to stop, which of course, they would have to, if she got back with Harry.

Draco had noticed the rise in the number of 'encounters' and mentioned one day.

"You really like having sex with me don't you Weaslette?"

"What do you mean?"

"You want it more often lately. I'm happy to provide of course, I was just wondering."

"I don't know, I just find it stress relieving"

"You're stressed?"

"Are you caring Malfoy?"

"No, just wondering."

Ginny laughed. "I know you were."

Draco smiled, which made Ginny relax more. "Are the rumours true?" Draco asked.

"What rumours are they?"

"Weaslette you're pathetic. You should at least know rumours about yourself. Are you getting back with Potter."

Ginny paused, collecting her thoughts. "No, they aren't true. At least not yet."

"Not yet?"

"Don't worry Malfoy, I'm not going anywhere just yet. Of course, you wouldn't care would you? You'd just go find someone else." Ginny watched him carefully for a response, because in her mind she was thinking that she would hate it if that happened.

She saw him think about it for just a moment. She thought she saw just a little uncertainty in his eyes, but he said, "Of course I would. Cya Weaslette." He left without a goodbye kiss and Ginny couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
