A week flew by since the two 'enemies' shared their passionate kisses in the empty classroom. Now what they both feared and dreaded happened.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ginny was walking and discussing a potion assignment with Hermione while Ron and Harry went over quidditch ideas in front of them when she saw him. Draco was leaning against the wall checking a piece of paper that was in his book. Ginny just wished the two boys in front of her would keep walking and not start a fight. The fact that she hasn't been able to talk to him since that night made her nervous. What if he didn't mean it? No I know he did - I saw the emotion in his eyes, heard it in his voice
"Ferret, sulking now that your master's dead? Trying to figure out who you are going to kneel for now" Ron's voice stopped Ginny in her tracks.
Draco looked up and notice the two parts of the golden trio, he tried to bite his tongue, "Weasley, happy now that your hero is back?" The remark didn't have as much bite as usual but it was still spiteful.
"You disgusting…" Ron had his wand leveled with Draco's chest, which wasn't hard since the were both around the same height. On instinct Draco pulled his wand out also, leveling it at Ron's gut. It was then out of the corner of his eye that he say another red head, knowing, by logic (since there were only two red heads (at least that shade of red) left at Hogwarts), who it was Draco started lowering his wand.
Taking his chance Ron shouted out a cutting curse creating a slash to form down Draco's arm. "RON!!!!!! What are you doing?" Ginny asked as she rushed to Draco's fallen body. He was tightly gripping his arm and leaning against the wall breathing hard.
"What do you care? Get away from him " Ron couldn't understand why his sister was trying to help the prejudice freak but he didn't like it at all.
"Ron, he had his wand down how could you - he wasn't going to.. Oh my he wasn't going.." The petite girl bent down to perform the minimal healing magic she knew, it would be enough to get him to Madame Pompey
"Wh.. " Ron was so confused it looked like his sister was helping the enemy and felt like she was choosing his worst foe over him.
"Ron," Hermione jumped in "Ginny's right he was lowering his wand, but" she emphasized the but so that he wouldn't interrupt. "But. We should have her take him to the hospital, if he gets too damaged then you will get into a lot of trouble".
Ron accepted his best friends explanation but didn't trust Malfoy. Harry apparently agreed with him when he added his own complaint "I guess but I don't want her to take him, who knows what he'd do".
Ginny who already helped Draco stand and was supporting him, turned to her brother and friend "Gosh, look at him what is he really going to do to me" She started to lead him away when the two boys made noises of protest. "Look if you guys take him in they nurse will know their was a fight - at least I can say I found him"
"Yeah well make sure that you obliterate him - your good at those" Harry whispered, he hated letting Ginny take him alone but he knew she was right.
The trio watched Ginny help Draco ( who was weak from blood loss he got before Ginny mended parts of the cut ) down the hall and around the corner.
"We should follow them make sure he doesn't try anything." Ron whispered and Harry quickly agreed. Both boys however were again stopped by Hermione, the voice of reason (and the hand holding their collars).
"Boys seriously, that would defeat the whole purpose" Hermione shook her head at her over protective best friends. She had a feeling that they wouldn't understand what they'd see if they were to follow the youngest weasley. "Come on we have to study our NEWTS" she stated as she pulled them the opposite way of the other two.

Draco was walking along with Ginny, she had her small hand pressed against his bicep making sure that her charm held in place. You know that this charm works, you just want to touch him… oh hush Ginny knew that inner voice of hers was correct but she didn't want to admit it. She looked up to meet his gray eyes, he was gently taking in her small smile.
"I tried to, well I wasn't really going to… even before I knew you were there I wasn't going to curse him. But when I saw you I knew I couldn't do anything" He was whispering now. They were paused somewhere between their starting point and destination.
She reached up and brushed his bangs away from his fore head, in that instant, the look in his eyes cancelled out all her worries and questions from that sleepless night a week ago.
Slowly he leaned down and brushed his dry lips across her smooth silky ones. She pulled him closer to her with her arms that were positioned around his neck.
He deepened the kiss as he backed her towards the rough wall. Placing his hand behind her head so she wouldn't be hurt, as he fiercely kissed her.
WOW, this is amazing his brain was on auto pilot - She taste so good, He paused when he heard her soft moan as his hand made contact with her bare stomach.
She pulled away unwillingly, "Draco, we … should… um.. Open .. Hall " she voiced between quick pecks on his lips. His mouth descending on to her neck right after sighing that he didn't care if people saw.
"Draco" she said with more force as she gently pushed him away from her neck ( an action that she really didn't want to do ). "Draco if someone sees they will tell your father" Those must have been the magic words Ginny thought as Draco stood straight up. How can he be soo collected after just snogging in the hallway, OH MY GOSH we just snogged in the hallway…
As Ginny looked up at him though she knew that inside he was just as breathless as her.
"Come on lets go get you healed" she grabbed his hand making sure to hold in a way that no one would be able to tell.

Draco sat in the bleach white hospital bed. It was an hour after curfew and he was bored. He taken the blood potion earlier that afternoon and it knocked him out for the rest of the day. He spent the last hour replaying the snog session him and Ginny had in the hallway only so many hours before. He still couldn't believe she was a part of his life. He wasn't used to showing emotion to any one or letting his guard down in front of anyone but his mother.
What is this tight feeling in my chest… maybe a side affect of the potion.
As Draco sat there trying his hardest to de code the funny things he was feeling for the first time in his life the grand hospital door opened a crack. The creek of that door caught Draco's full attention. .
He sat up straighter, his walls were up, defense in full swing and his mask in place. He held his wand by his hip in his right hand and prepared for anything.
The wind of a fabric being removed caused him to stir as from (what it seemed like) out of no where there was
"Granger?"
"Draco.." They sat there staring at each other, neither truly moving both pondering the turn in their relationship Is that even the right word they both wondered.
"We need to talk" Oh how he wanted to interupt her, throw her out, keep his own secrets He wanted to snidely comment "I don't have to talk to you Granger." But before he could she continued. "About Ginny"
Those two words changed everything and he knew that this smart wich, this girl, woman, that proved his father wrong in so many ways knew. She knew what they failed at hiding for only a week, she could read his feelings as if they were typed across his forehead. He knew that he would have to talk with this one time enemy.
"What about her?" Even though he resigned to having to talk to her he wasn't going to make this easy on her.
"You know at the battle over the summer, I saw Ginny get saved by someone.. Maybe two, three weeks later I heard that someone confess that to an empty room." Hermione spoke trying to gauge his response, even if Ginny trusted him she was still had her doubts.
"So, what does that have to do with me"
"I'm not called the smartest which for nothing"
"So what's your point, I have other things to do" He was still trying to get used to the idea that if he wanted Ginny in his life for the long run that he'd have to accept a few other people. Woa! Since when do you want her in your future, future like the long haul…. I need to think about this.
"Just don't hurt her - you do and you'll have a pretty large angry mob on your hands" with that Hermione turned to walk away.
"Granger! Are you… well is that your way of saying your ok with this, um if their was a this?"
"I trust her" Hermione said over her shoulder as she continued walking. Just as she was closing the large doors she heard his whispered 'thanks'
He sat there for hours pondering the idea of having Ginny in his life for a long while. yeah, If I live to survive my father…. The long haul… I like that..
A few seconds later he realized exactly what that feeling he had before was Yikes, is this … dare he say love?

Ginny was laying on her bed humming an unkown tune while twirling a strand of hair around her finger. She couldn't help the giddiness she felt. She just wished she could share this with someone but no one would understand.
"Ginny?"
Ginny looked up to see Hermione at her door "Yea"
"You look happy" Hermione said as she sat on the matress across from Ginny
"Oh, um well I got a good grade on.. a ... test" Shoot she wont believe that. Ginny was right, she say it in Hermione's eyes. The older girl knew, but how.
"Ginny is there anything you want to tell me at all?" Hermione didn't want to push her friend but she wanted her to tell her.
"Um, Harry likes you..." GInny said nervously
"I know that, but well... I am here if you need to talk. Remember I am not your brother"
"Well, um ... there is this one thing..." with that Ginny shut her drapes and put up the silencing speels she knew... " You see um it all started, well I don't really know how it started, you can't tell anyone... You see"
