Chapter 12

Draco rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, looking around as if to find the cause of his sudden push out of dreamland. It however, was not in his pitch-dark room, but drifted from another part of the suite. He pushed himself out of bed and looked at the clock beside him, before shaking his head and heading out the door.

What could those bloody girls be doing at one o'clock in the morning? Edging toward the door, he cautiously opened it only to be suddenly shocked fully awake. Ginny and Tara were dancing around the room to blaring music, in practically nothing. Several moments passed by as he stood, mouth hanging open, in the doorway. Then Tara noticed him, flicking her wand at the stereo to turn it down. Ginny looked around confused before spotting him.

"Well, Draco, how nice of you to join us. Please, do close your mouth though, it is not proper to gawk. We are adequately covered, there is nothing I'm sure you havent seen before." She smirked at him, snapping him out of his trance.

"You call that adequately covered?" He looked both of them up and down, cropped halter tops and shorts so short he didnt think there was any reason for them.

"Silly Draco, Tara smiled at him. "So was there a reason for your appearance? Or did you just miss us?"

"Actually, I am losing precious moments of sleep because of your music. I was awoken from a very good dream." She got a strange look on her face and then smiled apologetically at him.

"So sorry. Well, I'm tired anyway, so I guess we'll go to bed and let you get your beauty sleep." Ginny finally decided to speak up after recovering from seeing Draco sleep rumpled and without a shirt.

"But Tara, I'm nowhere near tired. I couldnt sleep if I wanted to."

"I couldnt go back to sleep either. I'm awake now." He glanced over at Ginny, taking in her flushed, half dressed state. "Good thing we have a short day tomorrow."

"Yeah."

"Well, too bad. I'm tired. So you two can go be all hunky dory in the common room. I'm sleeping." As if to prove her point, she flicked her wand to turn off the lights and crawled into the extra bed that had been set up in Ginny's room. Ginny giggled, but headed toward the common room anyway.

"Come on, we don't want to disturb her. We might get a glimpse of her bad side." Draco turned into the common room, setting down on the couch. Ginny followed, slowly shutting the door, but not before Tara could comment.

"I heard that!" She shook her head as the door clicked closed.

"Really, that girl can be totally bipolar at times, and a complete pain in my butt." She threw herself down beside him.

"And youre friends with her because?" She turned to look at Draco and arched an eyebrow.

"The same reason I'm friends with you."

"And that would be?"

"I dont know, tell me when you figure it out." He laughed, shaking his head at the nut setting beside him. Ginny stretched and turned, putting her head in his lap so she could lay down.

"Im not a pillow, you know." He said, looking down at the innocent expression on her face.

"I know, really, this is so much more comfortable." Ginny wiggled around a bit trying to get more comfortable, not noticing her shirt was riding up a bit. Draco did notice though, and it took all his control for him not to groan.

'Why does this girl get to me so much?' he wondered as he watched her avidly. 'What is it that makes her so different from all the others?' He leaned back and closed his eyes, wondering why everything was so complicated.

"Sunshine?" Ginny asked softly, as she realized his eyes were closed.

"Yeah, Cherry."

"I'm gonna go to bed. You seem tired and I dont want to keep you awake." She sat up and moved to get off the couch as he opened his eyes.

"Really, I'm not." Draco responded, raising his head off the back of the couch.

"Okay," Ginny responded, not really believing him. "I'm going to go to bed anyway, I'm starting to get a little tired." Draco just nodded, watching as she went to open the door to her room. She looked disbelieving at it, as she tried to open it again. "I cant believe it. She locked me out." Ginny turned to look at him and he laughed, getting up to try it as well.

"Want me to get my wand and unlock it?" He asked her, but she shook her head.

"It wont work, remember? It can only be unlocked from the inside, by my wand, or by McGonagall." Draco nodded, suddenly remembering the charms put on their rooms. "Tara was told about it earlier. I bet she had this planned since then."

"She is a minor genius, isn't she? When it comes to making things happen like she wants them to?" Ginny laughed and nodded.

"Every time she decided I would be perfect with some random guy, she also decides she has to hook us up in some extremely eccentric way that either works wonderfully or totally bombs." Ginny shook her head. "I don't know what I'm going to do with that girl."

"Well for right now, we need to get some sleep. Why don't you take my bed and I'll sleep on the couch? Just let me get a blanket and pillow."

"Draco, I can't take your bed. I'll sleep on the couch, it doesn't bother me." She had that defiant look on her face and Draco knew she wouldn't give in.

"Well, I guess I'll have to tickle you until I get my way." She shrieked and quickly ran from him but he was too fast. Her cornered he at their couch, pushing her down on it and mercilessly tickling her.

"Draco! ….Please…p-please s-stop. I c-can't….breath….D-Draco." After a moment, he stopped letting her catch her breath, and he let out a hearty laugh as she glared up at him.

"I hate you, do you know that?"

"Of course Cherry, I know." He rolled his eyes as she continued to glare at him.

"Get away so I can get up." Ginny pushed his shoulders in attempt to get him away, he wasn't steady enough. The next thing they knew, Draco was sprawled on top of her.

"Gods, you big lug, get off of me. Really, a Malfoy that had no balance, where did they find you? In a trash bin somewhere?" She expected a witty comment, or at least a glare, but as she looked up at him, she found his eyes just gazing at her. "Draco, are you okay? Draco…." She was cut off as his lips descended on hers.

It was the most amazing kiss of her life, so much slower and more passionate than their previous one. Was she supposed to be with Draco? Didn't she love Harry? She didn't know what to think, so she let all her thoughts go and continued kiss the beautiful man on top of her.

Tara peeked out the door, but she couldn't see them. On tiptoe, she crept toward the couch, taking a quick glance over it to see the kissing couple. Inside her head, she squealed in excitement. Now that Draco was in the picture, she just needed to get Harry out of the picture. He wasn't right for Ginny and they all knew it, including some subconscious part of Ginny. Letting out a silent yawn, she walked back into her room and crawled into the bed. She needed to be well rested for the next part of her plan.
