Chapter
Draco chose his moment carefully. Like Ginny, he had seen that git Weasley get distracted by Blaise/Blaine. Unlike Ginny, he knew how to take advantage of the situation.
He sauntered over to her. With Weasley distracted, he could do this without worrying about him interfering.
She broke off from gazing at her idiot brother and looked at him with those pretty brown eyes. "What do you want, Drake?" she asked. The flush that raced up her cheeks proved she had forgotten that she wasn't supposed to call him that.
He just grinned. "Just wanted to tell you how lovely you look today."
Ginny's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"And that you'll look even lovelier when I crush your little pirate gang into oblivion."
"How dare you!" she shrieked, pushing back from the table and vaulting onto the table.
He grinned as she drew her sword and joined her.
Their blades met. She was better than him but she was fighting angry. Down on the floor, Pansy and Hermione were just sitting back. Hermione had already figured out Draco's plan and Pansy was avoiding fisticuffs out of loyalty.
Parvati started to rise to her feet to join in but Theo swept in, sweeping her off her feet in the process. In fact, the only ones fighting right now were Ginny and Draco.
Ginny's face was brilliant as she focused on the moves.
"I admit that you are better than me," he said, remembering the lines Pansy had been trying to drill into him for years.
"Is that so?" she said, a faint smile slipping over her lips.
"Of course," he said, smiling as well.
Suspicion slipped over her face again. "Then why are you smiling?"
He grinned and broke from the fight. "Because I love you."
She stared at him for a second. "Bull shit."
He reached out and grabbed her halberd, pulling her close and locking lips with her.
It was unlike any of the other kisses they'd had. There was nothing to be gained from this kiss, only the profession of love.
Fuck it. Ginny thought, wrapping her own arms around his neck and closing her eyes.
They remained like that. Even when Blaine slapped Ron. Even when Blaine turned into Blaise and began making out with Luna. Even when Theo and Parvati returned from some closet, looking very rumpled. Even when Hermione and Pansy began to clap.
Finally they broke the kiss.
"Nothing can stop true love," Draco muttered.
"Is that what this is?" she asked, breathing hard.
"Of course. You think this happens every day?"
Her kiss was answer enough.
(A/N: Just the epilogue to go. Been thinking of a one-shot with PirateSnape in it. Let me know if you guys think I should.
To Silverink- As you can see, I had other plans for the Blaise/Luna relationship.
To Acast- I like playing with ships. Hermione/Pansy is my new favorite right now though.
To Raine- Glad you like it!
