Monday November 14th

The next day, Ginny was in Charms class not focusing on the assignment. Her mind was to preoccupied with other thoughts. It was reeling with so many feelings and unanswered questions. How did she really feel about Draco? What was really going to happen between them? Does he actually have feelings for her? Did she really lie to her brother last night?

The last thing she could believe was that she had actually lied to Ron. Sure, she had told a white lie her or there; but nothing to substantial. She could not believe for the first time in her life she had actually lied to her brother. In some ways, she was completely appalled by what she did. One day with Draco Malfoy and already he had corrupted her moral judgment. But on the other hand, Ginny was kind of relived that Ron did not know quite yet. She was nervous enough about the possibility of having feelings for a Malfoy; she did not need her brother yelling at her at this particular moment in her life. That was actually the last thing she wanted.

When class was finally dismissed, Ginny hurried out of the room before the Professor could confront her about her lack of focus. She had already had to hear that in Transfiguration, she did not need to hear it again. She waited outside the door while Luna took her dear sweet time gathering her things together. Five minutes later, the wispy blonde finally emerged from the classroom. Ginny walked into step next to her.

"Hey Gin, what's up?"

"I need to ask you a favor."

"Sure."

"If Ron asks you what you or I did on Saturday at Hogsmade, we spent the whole day together."

"Ok, but why."

"Because, I do not want him finding out about my admirer quite yet."

"Why not?

"Well, I just do not think it is the right time for him to find out I have already moved on from his best friend."

"Wow, so the date went that good huh?"

"Yeah, actually, it went great."

"That's great Ginny." Luna said, beaming a smile at her best friend, "So, who was he?"

"Promise not to tell anyone."

"Yes, I promise. Now spill. Who was the adorable boy that has such great taste in women?" Luna asked anxiously.

"It was Draco Malfoy."

"No Way!!! And he was actually nice to you? You actually had a good time?"

"Yeah, like I said, I had a great time. It was so strange. He did not act like himself at all. He never called me a mudblood lover or mentioned anything about my family's financial situation. We just talked."

"Was it easy to talk to him?"

"Very. When he is not being a loathsome son of a bitch, I learned I actually have a lot in common with him."

"Oh my God! You like him. You like Draco Malfoy." Luna almost yelled.

"Luna Shhh! The last thing I want is for rumors to start. God only knows this school is like a rumor mill. Right now I don't know how I feel about him. I know I definitely have a different opinion of him, but I do not know what my true feelings. So I want to keep it quite for right now. Ok?"

"Ok. Who knows, maybe he really likes you too."

"Yeah right." Ginny said laughing, "This is Draco Malfoy. He probably just wants to brag he screwed Harry Potter's ex girlfriend."

"Is that why you are having second thoughts about how you feel?"

"Yeah, mostly. I don't want to get hurt again. And putting my trust in Malfoy is like asking to be hurt."

"I don't think so."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, maybe it is just my thinking, but do you really think Draco Malfoy would have gone through so much effort to get laid. I mean he is the Slytherin Sex God. The last thing he has trouble with is getting girls into bed."

"I guess but…"

"I mean the guy wrote you love letter for goodness sake. Do you really think he would have put that much effort in if all he wanted was a quick shag. Knowing him he would have slipped you a small love potion, screwed you, and then given you the antidote before anyone noticed you were under a spell."

"That does sound more like Malfoy."

"Exactly. If he really wanted to mess with you, he wouldn't be putting so much effort into it. Maybe the real problem here is you."

"Excuse me?" Ginny said. She stopped mid stride in the middle of the hallway, "What do you mean I'm the problem."

"Maybe you have some trust issues." Luna said coolly.

"M-me? Trust issues? Are you kidding me?"

"Look at your past Gin. Your first year here, you put all of your trust into Tom and the diary. And all he did was posses your body to do his dirty work. Then, give trust to Harry and he keeps abusing it by breaking up with you every chance he gets. It really would not be uncommon for someone who has been through all of that to have some trust issues."

"Yah maybe."

"It's okay Gin." Luna said, and started walking again, "You just need to learn that trusting people can hurt sometimes, but not all the time."

"I trust you and my family."

"Yes, but that's different. The bonds you had with Tom and Harry were much different then the ones with your friends and family. All you have to do is let go of your fears. You're such a strong person; it should not be that hard for you to be brave."

"You would think." Whispered Ginny.

"Besides, you were the one who said you would take any chance to find your soul mate. Is that still true?"

"Draco! Blaise! Wait up." Ginny said while she chased Draco and Blaise down the hall toward the Great Hall.

"Hey Ginny." Blaise said warmly.

"Hey Blaise. Did you talk to Ron last night?" asked Ginny.

"Thanks for understanding and for not wanting to kill me slowly."

"no problem. But I should warn you now. If you hurt him, that understanding goes away and no only will I go after you, but I will set Bill and Charlie on you. They could tare your limbs off your body after I am done with my torture." Ginny said with a playful smirk.

"Good to know." Blaise said with a laugh. "I promise, there will be no hurting of your brother."

"Thank you." Ginny said, "Do you think I could talk to Draco alone?"

"Sure." Said Blaise, "Now you behave Ginny. I do not need you snogging Draco's head off. We need him tomorrow for the Ravenclaw match."

"I promise to be on my best behavior." Said Ginny. She took Draco's hand in hers and led him to a quite corner to talk as Blaise turned and headed into the Great Hall.

"I need to ask you a favor." Said Ginny.

"Hold on a second." Draco said. He leaned down and gave her a sweet, sensual kiss, "Okay, go ahead."

"Mmmm. Don't do that to a girl."

"Why not? They usually love it."

"Well, you are going to distract me from my task."

"Well if you keep making those noises, maybe I want to distract you." Draco said, pulling her by the waist, so she was now nice and close to him, "So, what did you want to ask me?"

"Actually I need you to promise me something."

"Ok." Draco said.

"Promise me you will not tell Ron about our date."

"Why not?"

"It is just not the right time for him to know. I want him to know when I am good and ready. And since he is my brother I think I have the right to decided when that time is. Please, promise me."

Draco thought about this for a minute. He knew that trust was the first thing he needed to establish with Ginny, and keeping promises was exactly the way to get that trust. And deep down, he knew the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. But the image of watching Weasley become red in the face when he find out that his little virginal sister was snogging with the Slytherin Sex God in the entrance hall last Saturday. But still, he knew what he really had to do.

"I promise." Draco said.

"Really?"

"Of course," Draco said, his hand started to slowly stroke Ginny's hair, "Why would I do anything to make you not trust me? The last thing I want is for you to think I am is a liar. I spent all day Saturday trying to prove to you I am not who you think I am. Why would I go against all that?"

"That's true." Ginny said. She felt Draco's hand move from her hair and start to slowly stroke her cheek, "Thank you Draco."

"Anything for you." Ginny wrapped her arms around Draco's neck, and pulled his lips down to hers. Their lips moved in perfect synchronization as Draco pulled Ginny closer. He touched his tongue lightly to her lips, and she parted them ever so slightly to allow him entrance into her mouth. They both started getting lost in the kiss, Ginny did not seem to care if anyone saw them. All she wanted was to taste more of Draco. To taste more of his perfect lips and to feel his tongue dance with hers in her mouth. All Draco wanted to do was kiss her. He did not care about anything else; to him this was wonderful. It was the best kiss he had ever had. He did not want it to end. But it eventually did, after Ginny pulled away.

"I should probably go. I do not want Ron to come and look for me."

"Yeah, that would kind of make my promise pointless." They unwrapped themselves from each other, but did not yet move, "I forgot to ask, I hope its okay that I told Blaise about our date."

"I kind of guessed you would. He probably has know about it ever since you wrote that first letter. Just let him know I do not want Ron to know quite yet."

"No problem."

"I feel kind of bad though/"

"Why?"

"Those two just started a relationship and already I am making Blaise lie to Ron. That probably is not the best way to start off the relationship."

"You shouldn't worry about it. It will just show Ron how trusting Blaise can be. That will actually help their relationship. Establish a better sense of trust then create a bad one."

"That's a twisted way of looking at it." Ginny laughed.

"Yes. But you have to admit, it is more appealing to look at it my way then yours. True?"

"True."

"So, do you think there is anyway we can meet a little later? Maybe after dinner?'

"Sure. But where?"

"Well, where is a place your brother will not go?"

"The library, now that's a given." Ginny said, "Meet me in the very back table. No one ever goes there because it is so secluded there is nothing to distract a person from studying."

"Okay. Are we actually going to do work or…"

"Well, I have two essays due tomorrow and I only have half of one done. Think you could help me with my potions one? You kept bragging on Saturday how it was your best subject, even with Slughorn as a teacher."

"No problem. As long as you are willing to help me with a Transfiguration essay. That old crone has been on my case recently."

"Maybe that's because you have given her the nickname old crone?"

"No, something to do with my lack of an attention span. So, meet me at seven?"

"Sounds perfect." Ginny said, she stood on her toes and gave Draco one more kiss on the lips, "See you then."

She walked away. A few seconds later, Draco emerged from their hiding spot and headed toward the Great Hall. They both went to their appropriate tables, sat with fake smiles on their faces, while they counted the hours until they would finally get to see each other again.
