Just when you least expect it

You start to picture yourself with him

And you think about the way he makes you happy

And you see how it all makes sense.

And you realize you care about him a lot more then you think

people tell me i'm beautiful,

but i never think its true

the only way i'll believe it

is if i hear it coming from you

My life is full of secrets

That I always try to hide,

And when the truth comes out

I just want to cry.

When the tears start to flow

Its like I fall from it all,

But you hold me and say

'don't worry baby, I'll never let you fall'

(Wrote this one too!)

December 5th

Days turned into weeks, adding up to one month. It had been over a month since Draco and Blaise set the bet, and neither boy had won yet. Draco was starting to get frustrated. He was going through all of his usually tricks to seducing women; take them out to Hogsmade, snog constantly in the hallways between classes, flirt constantly and get no work done in the library. Usually by now, Draco had slept with the girl multiple times and kicked her to the curb. But Ginny was different. Not only did he have to work twice as hard, it was taking twice as long.

But in the back of his mind, Draco knew he didn't mind that it was taking so long. He knew the longer it took the more time he got to spend with the vivacious red head. And that didn't seem like such a bad thing at this point. Whenever Draco went after a girl, he only went after them for the physical pleasure. That had always worked for him. He knew it was easier to ditch a girl when they were only connected physically and not emotionally. But it was different with Ginny. From the first letter he wrote her, he knew he had started that emotional connection. Honestly, it scared the hell out of him. He didn't know what to do with it or how hard it would be to break it after the bet was over.

Draco knew the real truth about the situation; he was falling for Ginny. And not only that, he was falling hard. He was always excited to see her between classes. He actually enjoyed studying as long as she was there with him. Her kisses were like an electric shock through his system. Just one small kiss from her and he would instantly get hard. No girl had ever been able to do that to him. He was constantly thinking about her. Her smile, her eyes, her soft hair, her full lips, her kick ass body, her personality; if it had to do with Ginny, Draco was thinking about it. It were these thoughts that scared Draco the most. He didn't know what was going to happen after the bet. He knew it had to end; he just didn't know if that was exactly what he wanted now.

"Draco….Draco!" came Blaise's voice, shattering Draco's thoughts.

"What Zambini!"Draco snapped back. It wasn't until after that he noticed Professor Slughorn looming over the two boys.

"Daydreaming again Mr. Malfoy? That's the third time this week. 30 points from Slytherin and I expect your essay to be an extra foot long since you think you know so much, you don't even have to pay attention. A three feet paper shouldn't be so hard for a master like you."

"You were thinking about Ginny weren't you?" asked Blaise after Slughorn walked away.

"Kind of." Lied Draco.

"What does kind of entail?"

"The bet. And that's all."

"You're lying."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are. I know you to well."

"Fine. I was thinking about her. Satisfied?"

"You really like her don't you?"

"I'm not really sure what I feel. It's all very new and confusing to me."

"Well of course it is. You were raised to never love a women. Your father taught you that women were just for having children and nothing else. It's probably hard for you to except that you have finally fallen in love with a girl."

"I am not falling in love with her. What gave you that idea?"

"Whatever you have to tell yourself. Just think on this: is it that you don't love her or that you can't love her?"

As the day progressed, Ginny's concentration waned more and more. It was so hard to concentrated with everything that has happened to her over the past month. After everything, it seemed like her life was getting so very complicated. And she knew it was only going to get worse. What with Harry not leaving her alone recently, the war stirring up, and school just seems to be getting harder.

Finally it was her free period and she decided that she would spend it by herself in the common room. She spent most of her time in the Common Room when it was empty. She hoped that any student that had a free this time also was in the Library studying. But when she got the back to the Tower, she noticed one more person on the couch; and it was one person she di not feel like running into. She tried to silently walk up to her dorm quietly, but was unsuccessful. "Ginny Wait!" came the familiar voice.

"Oh god," groaned Ginny, as she turned around to face Harry, "What Harry?"

"Can we talk?" asked Harry.

"About?"

"Us?"

"There is no more us Harry."

"That's not true, I want there to be an us, but you're the stubborn one that refuses to take another chance on true love."

"I'm stubborn?"

"Yes, you're stubborn." Harry said with a hint of an attitude that Ginny had never seen in him before.

"Well, I would rather be stubborn then an abandoner."

"I didn't abandon you, I left you for your safety."

"For my safety? And when have I ever proven to you that I needed your protection? I am one of the best students of my year. I was able to protect myself when we went to the ministry; I was also able to protect myself when the Death Eater attacked Hogwarts. You didn't need to protect me, you just needed to support and love me, and you couldn't even do that."

"If that's what you want than fine. I will support and love you, but please Ginny take me back."

"It's too late Harry, you took me for granted and now you have lost me for good." Ginny turned her back on her past and walked upstairs for some peace and quiet before dinner.

But Harry didn't let it go, he knew he would do anything to get Ginny back. "We belong together, I know that," Harry mumbled to himself, "Malfoy is not going to get away with this."

Draco sauntered into the practically empty Great Hall. He was waiting until a house elf came in to start putting dinner on the table. He need to talk to the elves and convince them to help them with his plans for tonight. This, of course, was the only way he could think of getting a hold of them. He would of gone to the kitchen, but there was a simple explanation why he didn't; he did not know where the kitchen was. Finally, after about twenty minutes, a house elf popped into the Great Hall. When Draco was approaching the elf, he noticed it was his family's old house elf, Dobby.

"Hello, Dobby."

"Oh, hello Master Draco, it has been a long time since Dobby has seen Master Draco, how are you?"

"I am very good, Dobby, but I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"Oh, Dobby would be most honored to do something for you Master Draco, anything you need."

"Good. I need you to send up some food for me and one other person to the Heads House common room. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course Dobby can do that for you sir, anything specific you want Dobby to make for you?"

"No, its fine, just send up a little of everything that you made for dinner tonight. Please have it in my room by 6:30, everything else will be ready, just put the food on the table that will be there ok?"

"Of course Master Malfoy, Dobby will make you proud."

"I know you will Dobby, I know you will." Said Draco. Now that his business in the Great Hall was done, he headed out to finish the rest of his plan. But on his way back to his room, he noticed Hermione walking up the stairs.

"Hey Granger wait up!"

"What do you want Malfoy?"

"I was wondering if you could stay away from our Common room tonight, I have plans with Ginny."

"Oh, really, what sort of plans?"

"Just dinner plans, but I think it would be much more special for Ginny and I if you did not join or interrupt us."

"And where do you intend me to go?"

"I don't know, the library, Gryffindor Tower, your bedroom I don't care where as long as it is not the Common Room, ok?"

"Fine, I will spend it in Gryffindor and I will even be generous and use my tunnel in my room to get to the Gryffindor Common room and I will even use it to get back."

"Thank you Granger." Draco answered relieved. That was much more easier then he thought. He turned to head to his room, when Hermione's voice spoke up again.

"But….on one condition…."

"Ahh, so close."

"You have take over my nights for night duty for the next two weeks."

"You're lucky I'm desperate Granger. You got yourself a deal. But you better be out of the dorms by 6:30 or the deal is broken."

"Fine."

Ginny was just about to leave her room to go to dinner when she heard a tap at the window in her bedroom. When she looked around her room, she relized the noise was coming from the small black owl that was perched at her window. It was not until she let the bird in that she noticed the letter attached to his leg. She noticed the owner of the handwriting right away, just from the scrawl of her name on the envelop. She opened the letter in giggles as she read it.

Dear Ginny,

As you know, the school was informed today that we would not have classes tomorrow due to teacher meetings all day. So I was wondering if you would join me tonight in the Heads House for dinner, I would love to spend some really private time together, without any students or adults around. Don't worry I have taken care of Granger, she will be spending the night in Gryffindor. Please come at 7. The Heads House is on the second Floor, the picture of the Black Knight. The password is 'polyjuice'. I can't wait to see you.

Yours,

Draco

Ginny looked at the clock in her room; 6:33. She barely had any time to get ready. She ran to her wardrobe in a frenzy. Luckily, she knew the perfect outfit. Her purple and grey plaid skirt, an off the shoulder grey t-shirt, her strappy black heels, and a cute black headband to complete the outfit. She felt more than ready as she headed out the door.

The walk to the Heads House was short, but Ginny was starting to get nervous. She was scared about what might happen with Draco; alone, in his private room. It was only common sense that he wanted more. He was, after all a man, and a month of just snogging probably wasn't doing it for him as it did at the beginning of the relationship. But Ginny wondered if she was ready for all of this. Whenever she was with him, the only thing she wanted was more. She wanted his hands to roam all over her body. She wanted his lips to taste every inch of her; she wanted to taste every inch of him. But it was at times like these that she was able to think without a mind clouded with passion. It was now she was able to ask herself, Am I really ready for this? With every other boy she had ever been with she always knew the answer was hell no. But now, with such a mysterious man, she couldn't help but wonder, maybe she was. But of course, the secret events of last summer kept her from moving forward with Draco. She wondered if she would ever tell Draco about that event. For now, it was only hers to know.

Before she knew it, Ginny was standing in front of the Heads painting. "Password?" asked the Black Night.

"Oh, um polyjuice." Said Ginny, in a shaky tone. The painting swung open and she walked into the Head House. The first thing she noticed was the dimmed lighting in the Common Room. She also noticed a few changes since she last came in here with Hermione over two months ago. The room was just as big as the Gryffindor Common Room. And just like before, the back of the room had huge bookshelves full of books, with two study desks next to them; one for each Head. But it was the front of the room that had been tampered with. There was only one couch, and it was pushed far away from the fire, with a small coffee table pushed in front of it. In front of the big fireplace was a dining table just big enough for two people. It was beautifully set, almost like the settings at the First Feast of the year. Standing near the fire was Draco, he looked gorgeous in a black suit.

Draco walked over to Ginny and pulled her by the waist into his arms and lightly kissed her. "Hello beautiful, I'm glad you came."

"Wouldn't miss it for anything." She answered with a giggling smile.

"Thank you so much Draco, no one has ever done something this romantic for me."

"Seriously? Potter never did anything like this for you?"

"No, we never had the privacy when we were together and we weren't together during the summer when he would have been able to do something slightly romantic. Although I don't think he would of, I've only recently started to notice he is kind of self absorbed."

"Kind of?" asked Draco, holding back a laugh.

"Ok, he can be really self absorbed."

"Well, in my opinion, this is the way a man is suppose to treat a beautiful girl like you." Said Draco, causing a small blush to wash over Ginny's pale skin.

"Thank you Draco, you're very sweet."

20 minutes later…

After they finished their dinner, Draco took Ginny over to the couch so they could get more comfortable while they ate dessert.

'What have you prepared for dessert tonight Mr. Malfoy?" Ginny said playfully as she settled down in Draco's open arms.

"Well Ms. Weasley, I have gotten you your favorite, chocolate cake."

"You remembered me telling you my favorite dessert?"

"Of course I remembered. Also, before you start attacking your cake, I have something for you." Draco said, pulling out a silver wrapped box.

"What is this for?" Ginny said, as she pulled out a beautiful dark green cloak.

"I just wanted to give this to you. It represents the unity of our two houses, with my house colors and your house animal stitched on it."

"Draco it's beautiful." Said Ginny, as she ran her fingers over the beautifully detailed lion, as she noticed her name stitched next to it, "You didn't have to do this."

"I just wanted to show you that I cared about you."

"I care about you too Draco." She then folded the clock and neatly placed it back in the box, "Thank you, I love it." She said, then she leaned toward Draco and kissed him. After a minute, she pulled away, but stayed inches away from his face.

"Are you really in the mood for dessert?" asked Draco, as he stroked her arm lightly with his hand.

"Not really." Ginny said, she then closed the small distance between them and, instead of gently kissing him, she pushed her soft lips against Draco's lips, with such force, it was as if she was trying to blend then together. Draco flipped himself on top of Ginny, taking complete control of the situation. He pushed his body against her, desperate to feel her all over him. Before she knew it, Ginny was pushing Draco's jacket off his arms and disposing of it on the floor. Next it was his shirt that came off, exposing his muscular chest to Ginny for the first time. Her hands explored it as if it was the eighth wonder of the world. As her wondering hands continued, Draco's lips finally parted from Ginny's, and wondered down her perfect jaw line. And with each kiss, it was as if he was setting Ginny's skin ablaze. She craved for more. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him as close as she possible could. Soon, his lips were making their way down her neck and across her exposed shoulder. But it was when his hand started to push her shirt down to expose her breasts that made something in Ginny's mind snap to reality.

"Stop Draco." Said Ginny, as she pushed him away

"What's the matter?"

"I'm not comfortable with this."

"I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?"

"Not at all, actually you were doing everything right."

"Then why are we stopping?" Draco asked, leaning in with a sly smile.

"Because I'm not sure I'm ready for that after last time it happened."

'What last time? The most we did was snog?' Draco thought, and somehow didn't know that he had asked the question out loud.

"Yeah, I know. The last time wasn't with you."

"Who was it with? Potter?"

"No, no not Harry, he was a gentleman. He never did anything I didn't want."

"Then who?"

"It was over the summer last year. I was dating Theodore Nott and after about two months together, we were having dinner at his house. After dinner we were on the couch snogging, he tried to move to second base and when I tried to stop him, he said 'I've waited long enough now sit still and let me do what I want with you.'"

"What? Did he rape you?"

"No, and I don't think he was going to. He tried to touch me but luckily he is a weakling, so I was able to get him off me and run away."

"I'll kill him." Said Draco.

"No Draco don't. If you did anything to harm him, you would be no better than he is."

"How are you so calm about this Ginny?"

"It was over a year ago Draco," said Ginny, as she put her arms around his shoulders from behind him, "It hurt at first, that I guy I put my trust in betrayed me. But I was strong enough to tell my mother right away. And to be safe, she put me in counseling the rest of the summer, and I was able to accept it. I wasn't going to let one guy's stupid mistake ruin my future relationships. And I will let you in on a little secret: I cursed his ass in the Room of Requirements at the beginning of my 5th year. So don't worry I got my revenge."

This made Draco finally smile. "How bad did you curse him?"

"So bad he had to walk with a limp for the first month of school." Ginny said with a laugh.

"So that's why he was limping. He told us he fell of his broom when his older brother cursed it. That little liar, couldn't even be man enough to tell the truth. You're right he is a wimp."

"Draco, I do care about you. I don't think I even cared this much for anyone. But you have to understand, I don't want to do anything I will regret later. I just want to take things slow. I want to enjoy all the moments I spend with you, and I don't want to regret any of them."

"Ok, Ginny," said Draco. He kissed her on her head and embraced her in a hug, "I promise that I will never pressure nor hint at anything. We will wait until you are ready."

"Really?"

"Yes." Said Draco, "So, do you want your dessert now?"

"Actually, if you look at the time, curfew is in 30 minutes. Walk me back to my dorm?"

"Well, how about you eat your cake, and then you can take Granger's tunnel in her room back to the common room. It will only take you a minute to get back through that tunnel."

"Sounds perfect." Ginny said with a smile. And with that, they finished their evening in complete peace.
