Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing, they make me so happy and so nervous at the same time lol

The classic signs of a major crush

Ginny lay on her back staring up at the ceiling, Draco was still fast asleep, his arm draped across Ginny's stomach, she had been shocked when she woke to find him shirtless and couldn't resist peeking under the blankets, relieved that he still had his boxers on. It was damn hot though she had to admit, wishing she could also strip off her dress, she couldn't not with Draco here…. Here in her bed. She could remember asking him to stay not knowing why, Ginny's mind justified it by not wanting to be alone in this strange place. She had drifted back off to sleep, waking much later to the sound of knocking, Draco was already up and out of the bed and pulling open the door, she stretched feline like as he thanked someone she couldn't see, he returned with a basket full of fruit.

"Apparently its past dinner." he said placing the fruit on the table.

He seemed totally uncaring of his semi dressed form and sat on one of the chairs, Ginny avoided looking at him feeling a blush begin to stain her cheeks as she had an inappropriate thought, she made herself think of her Harry and her family.

"Oh, I had the weirdest dream." She suddenly remembered.

Draco looked up from the pinkish fruit he was eating. "What's that?"

Ginny looked thoughtful "I had a dream that your dad and my dad were shaking hands."

Draco chuckled "That's more like a nightmare in the making."

"Is that a jibe at my family?" She said with a frown.

Draco stared at her in disbelief "It was a joke, my dad, your dad, agreeing on something is a scary thought, your so sensitive."

"Well normally you rip my family to pieces."

Draco rolled his eyes "I have nothing against your family…. Well maybe your cling on brother, I like to wind him up." He finished with a smirk.

"By ripping into my family?"

"It's the quickest way to wind him up, oh and calling granger a mudblood, and Potter always gets wound up when I…"

"Enough!" she cut him off, filling in the blanks "Lets not talk about this, I'm off for a bath."

"None of it was personal."

"That's makes it even worse." She said angrily.

Draco frowned "What do you mean?"

"Those things you said, I haven't forgotten."

Draco looked confused "What things? To Potter?"

Ginny shook her head, she really didn't want to talk about this "Never mind." She pulled open the door but Draco jumped up, his hand shot out and slammed it shut, Ginny turned around annoyed.

"Do you always run away from an argument?"

"No I just don't want to talk about it, now let me out."

"Talk about what? Are we even on the same page here? Is it what I said to Potter the night of the party? None of it was a personal attack on you, saying those things were directed at your brother and Potter."

"I didn't mean that." Ginny mumbled, realising they were talking about different things.

Draco's eyes widened slightly in realisation "Wait how did we jump onto that? We were talking about your brother and potter."

"Isn't it the same thing?" She snapped.

He was confused again "How is it?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Well that's real mature." He drawled sarcastically.

"And you are?"

Draco closed his eyes, taking a couple of deep breaths before opening them again. "Are you talking about when we kissed?"

Ginny flushed and looked away.

"I'll take that as a yes then." He gave a deep sigh. "Look Ginny, I shouldn't have done that, I'd had a lot to drink, but it wasn't anything to do with getting at Potter I can assure you."

Ginny looked at him mortified unable to speak, she wanted to cover her ears as he carried on.

"Alcohol makes you say and do things you shouldn't or wouldn't normally do, makes you bolder…. What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ginny looked away quickly "It doesn't matter."

"Oh for the love of Merlin, just say what's on your mind."

Ginny looked at the floor, she was so disappointed that he hadn't meant the things he said, that the kiss was just a drunken act of boldness, she shouldn't feel disappointed, she should be relieved, when had it begun to matter that Draco liked her? "I just miss home and my family, that's all." She said half truthfully.

"Are we ok?" He asked stooping down slightly to catch her eye.

"I just need to be alone." Ginny sighed.

The following weeks passed, Ginny and Draco settled in relatively well to the island life, Draco more so than Ginny, he seemed to be everyone's friend apart from Matthews and Daniels, Matthew who was always glowering at Draco from afar and Daniel who was avoiding her. Ginny was miffed and a little disappointed by his behaviour, Marie on the other hand made every attempt to be Ginny's friend. Ginny was hopeful even though she never spoke much at least it was another person other than Draco to have a conversation with. Marie had shown her where the fruit grew, which herbs they could use in potions, Ginny was elated at this, they could make potions for most basic needs, a mouthwash that although it burned, left your mouth fresh and clean. She showed Ginny how to make shampoo and soap to which Ginny could of kissed her at that moment, also showing her the herbs they used for medicines and painkillers, the herbs were limited but a great blessing. Ginny had blushed when Marie had shown her how to make a contraception potion "Oh, its not like that, we're just friends."

And they were, Draco hadn't slept in her hut since their first night here, she couldn't stand been near him like that anymore, it was torture putting on the happy friend face every time he was near, she knew she would make a total fool of herself if she asked him to stay with her again.

Ginny eyes narrowed at the look of relief that came over Marie's face, a flash of jealousy at this pretty girl, with her perfectly symmetrical features, her perfect skin and her shiny dark hair, the thought of her and Draco together made her feel sick. It got worse, as it does when you realise something, then it becomes completely obvious and in your face, Ginny watched Draco and Marie with a heavy heart, Marie always laughing and joking with Draco, always talking, her eyes always following him, it was like Harry and Cho all over again. Jealousy added to the confusing mix of emotions that she battled daily, she was sure it was only a matter of time before these two got together.

It was another hot morning three weeks since they first came to the island, when Ginny, Marie and Drew, Marie's and Daniels not so younger brother were out collecting herbs, they had hiked to the south end of the island where the tor known to the people as eagles rock rose out of the island. Drew had been asking relentless questions about magic, Hogwarts and the wizarding world as they skirted around the tor picking the herbs they needed.

"so your favourite class was charms?" he asked.

Ginny nodded it was strange , this boy would have probably been in her year at school, she wondered what house they would have been sorted into.

"Give it a rest Drew." Snapped Marie. "I'm sure Ginny doesn't want to keep thinking about home."

Startling Ginny, Marie had been her usual silent self up until now "Its ok I don't mind." Ginny said, thinking it was better than silence.

Marie gave her a tight smile.

"Hey want to see something cool?" Drew asked.

Ginny shrugged "Sure."

Marie gave an annoyed sigh before following her brother and Ginny down to the beach, the small group clambered over the rocks the waves breaking over the ones further out and spraying them with sea spray.

"Drew we shouldn't be here, the tide is coming in." Marie said.

"We'll be fine as long as we're quick."

Ginny looked up at the tor that loomed above them, remembering looking down at these rocks from the top, only a few weeks ago seemed like a year, Ginny gasped as she slipped but caught her balance.

"Watch where your going." Marie snapped sharply.

"Sorry." Muttered Ginny.

Ginny finally realised where they were going when she saw a the opening in the grey rock "Is that a cave?"

Drew grinned at her "Sure is, but wait until you see inside."

Ginny was intrigued as they scrambled towards the crevice, the cavern was enormous, dimly lit by the daylight it took a few seconds for Ginny's eyes to adjust.

"Come on." Urged drew from ahead of her, she followed more easily now the floor was smooth, drew led her to the far wall and pointed.

Ginny squinted then gasped, crude cave paintings marked the walls, pictures of people and animals, like she had once seen in one of Hermione's history books, people with spears in their hands hunting animals. Then it changed, a group of spear wielding figures and across from them a group of cloak wearing figures holding out their arms.

"Are they Deatheater's?" Ginny asked horrified.

"We think so." Drew said.

"Are these people the islanders? Did you draw these?"

"No they were here before we came, we think they were the original inhabitants, they built the huts."

Ginny turned shocked "I thought you had built them."

"No they were here before us, we were just imprisoned in them."

"What happened to them." she murmured turning back to the cave drawings.

"Wiped out….look." He pointed to one further up, it showed people running away, while some lay on the floor, Ginny's hand went to her mouth as the story moved on to the last few seeking refuge in this cave, then no more.

"That's awful." Ginny gulped.

"Isn't it? We think this is what started the idea for the hunts off."

Ginny shook her head, unable to speak.

"Come on, we should go, tides almost in." Came Marie's voice from the entrance, they hurried back across the rocks, relieved when they hit the beach.

That evening Ginny sat between Anne and Marie, Daniel who had finally started to talk to her again, even if it were short and stilted conversation, sat on Marie's other side, drew sat arms around his girlfriend, Katie who was a year or so younger than him. One of the older people were retelling a story but Ginny wasn't listening, she was thinking about the tragedy she had discovered in the cave, her mind a million miles away, she was startled when Anne nudged her.

"Stop moping and just go to him."

Ginny blinked confused "Who?"

Anne rolled her eyes "Draco of course."

Marie stiffened beside her.

"I don't know what you mean." Ginny blushed, was it that easy to see.

"Oh tosh, I see the way you two look at each other."

Ginny had to admit she couldn't help looking at Draco, but him her? "I can assure you Draco doesn't look at me in that way."

Anne smiled sympathetically "You don't see what I see, but when your not watching him, he is watching you."

Their conversation was cut short by Marie "I got to go, bye."

Ginny watched Marie's abrupt departure, was she going to Draco now? To make him officially hers? Her heart twisted painfully, he had retired to sleep not an hour ago, her imagination ran wild at the thought of Marie going to him, she had to stop this, she needed to do something, would he be horrified if she told him the way she felt. He must find her attractive or he wouldn't have kissed her, but then again he had said he hadn't been in control of his actions because of been drunk, maybe she should get drunk it would make it a lot easier. Ginny sighed and decided to head off for bed, she was such a coward how on earth did she get sorted into Gryffindor, saying goodnight to Daniel and Anne she made her way through the huts. Tonight was a clear night, a full moon shone down creating a clear path to her bed, she couldn't help pausing at the door and looking over to Draco's, all was dark and silent, was she in there now? Ginny opened the door to her hut and stepped through, deep in depressive thoughts she stripped off her combats and pulled back the covers and gasped in shock. The biggest spider she had ever seen sat illuminated by the moonlight, Ginny could proudly say she wasn't one of those girls that were scared of spiders, or boys where Ron was concerned. She was always the one to pick a spider up and move it for a terrified Ron, this one however was as big as her hand, she didn't fancy grabbing hold of a giant spider that could be poisonous. She stood contemplating what to do, there was no way she was picking it up, the only thing she could do was to pick up the blanket and shake it off outside. Mind made up she grabbed the edge of the blanket and picked it up steadily, only the movement startled it, she screeched as it ran up her arm and began to claw at her body. The huge spider dropped off and scurried away, Ginny didn't think twice she ran out shuddering and burst into Draco's, he sat up in surprise, blanket pooled around his waist.

"What's going on?" He asked alarmed.

"Spider…. Goddamn huge thing attacked me."

Draco chuckled

"Can I sleep here tonight?…. Its still in there."

"Oh… erm…."

"Please I cant sleep with it in there." She shivered suddenly conscious she was dressed in only a vest and her knickers.

"Ok. Sure." He sighed.

She dived under his covers, frowning when he turned his back on her "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He mumbled.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to intrude I didn't think you would mind." She said turning on her side so she faced his back.

"I don't." He grumbled.

"Well your acting odd." She pointed out.

"Just tired go to sleep."

Ginny fell silent, contemplating which was worse sleeping with a giant spider or Draco, now the initial adrenaline rush had gone and the realisation she had jumped into bed with Draco was setting in, the torturous thoughts began. His breathing fell into even breathes as he fell back to sleep, she watched his pale bare back inhaling and exhaling, she couldn't resist, she tentatively reached out, fingers hovering over his shoulder muscle, the air seemed to hum with anticipation. She touched him softly, his skin was soft and warm as she traced her fingers down his back, stopping at the bottom of his spine, something suddenly dawned on her and her eyes widened as she pulled her hand away and lifted the blanket.

"Don't stop now." Came Draco's amused voice.

"Your naked?" She gasped dropping the blanket.

He turned his top half to face her, the smirk she heard in his voice truly in place "And awake."

"Why are you naked?" The fact that he had been awake totally lost on her.

"I always sleep like this…."

"Oh Merlin I'm sorry…. Why didn't you say something." she accused.

"You didn't exactly give me chance."

Ginny watched him with uncertainty, now was not the time for foolish actions she thought this as she leant in and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips, his unresponsiveness made her open her eyes and pull away. Ginny froze in horror, what had she been thinking "I'm sorry." she mumbled embarrassed, she

moved to leave but Draco pulled her back down.

"I'm not rejecting you Ginny, its just…….. I don't think you can give me what I want."

"Oh god, please don't say anymore." she felt sick she needed to be anywhere but here "Please let me go."

"No, not until you understand."

"I do…" she knew she wasn't good enough for him, that it was true he wanted perfect Marie, she struggled out from under his arm but as soon as she was free he sprang up and wrapped both arms around her pulling her back to the bed he pinned her down. "Stop fighting me." He muttered as she struggled uselessly against him. "Just listen to me."

She finally submitted "Its ok I understand." She gulped "You don't want me, you want Marie."

He stared down at her "Marie?" He said in surprise.

"You like her." she said afraid his reply would send her over the edge, but she had to know.

"Ginny, sometimes you say the most random things."

"She is perfect, I wouldn't blame you."

Draco chuckled "She doesn't like me that way Ginny."

Ginny frowned "I've seen the way you two are."

He traced a finger down her cheek "Are you jealous Ginevra Weasley?"

"Maybe."

Draco smirked down at her "Well it should be me that is jealous, as she only has eyes for you."

"What?" She said in disbelief.

"Its obvious, all she ever talks about is you." He raised his eyebrows in amusement at the look on her face.

"That's ridiculous." She said. "She never even talks to me."

"One of the classic signs of a major crush I think." Smirked Draco.

"Your teasing me." She accused.

"All she ever does it talk about how wonderful you are, you're a great potion maker, you're a fantastic cook, your hair is so shiny and red, she wishes she had hair like yours, your so beautiful, the list go's on and on." He chuckled.

"Well that is…… an eye opener." She said in shock.

They stared at one another, both suddenly becoming aware of their precarious position, Draco released her, rolling onto his back.

Ginny sighed "What can I not give you Draco?"

He propped himself up on his elbow looking down at her "Everything… yet you will never wholly be mine."

Ginny frowned "What do you mean?"

Draco hesitated before answering "Potter!"

Ginny said what she had come to accept "He's not part of my life anymore, not here… here there is only you… do you want me Draco?" She asked suddenly shy.

She felt his fingers brush against her flaming cheek.

"More than you know." He replied.

"I want you to touch me." she said more bravely than she felt, more heat pooled into face.

"Shit Ginny don't say that." He shifted the lower half of his body away from her, his face still hovered above her.

"Do you want to touch me?"

Draco made an odd sound then answered "yes."

Ginny reached out running her hand down his arm and grasped his hand, she pulled it and placed it to her breast, without another moment of thought his lips crashed down onto hers in seconds she was gasping for breath as his hand stroked and kneaded her through her top. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him to her, she could feel his arousal just under her hip, she gasped in pleasure as his kisses travelled down her neck. His hand ran down her side and lifted up her top. The pair broke away from each other as they discarded her top and bra in seconds, Draco's eyes drank in her nearly naked form, Ginny didn't have time to think as his mouth went to her nipple, she was on fire.

"Oh shhhhhi…" She gasped at the new and amazing feeling, her hands tangled in his hair.

He pulled away inches from Ginny's face, his free hand ran down her side, across her stomach, he ran a finger under the waist band of her pants, "Is this what you want Ginny?" He said huskily.

"Yes." She gasped.

He watched her face as he traced his finger down to her centre, only the thin material separated them, he moved her legs apart gently and placed his palm over her core "Is this where you want me to touch you?"

"Yes….. Please." She begged.

He slid a finger under the material and across her wetness, rubbing and caressing her tenderly, Ginny lent up to kiss him, he gave her a quick kiss then pulled away.

"I want to watch you." He explained at her look of hurt.

Ginny nodded then gasped as he added another finger, stroking her harder "Draco." She whispered.

The loss of his touch made her moan in dismay, he smiled down at her, then he was pulling the fabric off, she lifted herself up as he slid them off, satisfied when his hand returned. Instead of relieving the burning ache she had between her legs, his fingers stoked up the fire within, he slid a finger inside of her and her eyes widened at the intrusion. Surprise turned to pleasure as he worked his finger in and out, then added another, she heard a whimpering sound and realised it was from her, Draco looked down at her, his own breath ragged and shallow.

"Does that feel good my sweet?" He asked breathless.

"Yes." She gasped.

"I want you touch me Ginny."

Ginny struggled through the haze of ecstasy "I… I don't know how."

He looked taken aback for a moment, then his face settled into one of satisfaction "I will show you."

She felt his hand disappear, and take her right hand in his, her wetness still clung to his fingers as he entwined them in hers, she let him lead her hand to where she could feel his erection and let him wrap their hands around his length. He began to move their hands up and down in a slow rhythm "Just like that." He instructed huskily.

Ginny felt a new warmth course through her at the pleasure she was giving him, he removed his hand leaving Ginny's alone, his hand went back to her centre, picking up where he had left off, she matched him as he quickened the pace. The burning fire within reached it peak and she cried out his name, the sound of her whimpering his name as she came sent Draco over the edge and he followed not seconds behind. Ginny sank into a fuzzy oblivion, she looked up at Draco through half lidded eyes as he smiled down at her, he dropped his head and captured her lips in a sensual kiss that left her wanting more when his kisses trailed away. Down her neck to her breast, she gave a soft moan as he tasted each nipple, then he was moving down again, over her stomach to her hip, he parted her legs and shifted so he was between them. The feeling of his hot tongue lapping at her entrance, tasting her, then moving to her clit had her wrapping her hands up in his hair again, she arched into him and cried out as he began to suckle her. The fire within once again burst into flames, he moved back up, nestled between her legs.

"Please." She begged not knowing what she was begging for, only that she never wanted it to stop.

He kissed her deeply and looked into her eyes, his own lust matching Ginny's "I want to make love with you Ginny, will you let me?"

Ginny reached a hand up and held his face, he leaned into it "I want you to make love to me." she whispered.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, not quiet hiding the look of relief, he took her mouth with his again, she lay open and ready, but he held back wanting nothing more than to drive into her, he touched his rigid shaft to her searching for entry.

Ginny's hand gripped his shoulders tightly as he began to slide inside her slowly, then he gave one hard thrust and broke through her barrier burying himself to the hilt, she made no sound for the pain but her fingernails dug in painfully to his shoulders. He settled on top of her, taking her pert nipple into his mouth, running his tongue around and suckling her until she began to relax, he took her mouth with his and began to move slowly within her.

"Hook you legs around my waist my love." He murmured against her lips.

Ginny complied, pain giving way to pleasure, nothing existed anymore, only her and Draco and the amazing feeling of him inside of her, moving in a slow sensual rhythm.

His mouth moved to her neck again, Ginny gasped with pleasure as he suckled her, marking her as his, when he was sure that she no longer felt pain he began to move heavier and faster within in, looking down into her eyes. He couldn't resist kissing her again, he broke away and hooked her leg over his shoulder, Draco could no longer hold back, picking up the pace he began to pound into her with hard and rhythmical thrusts.

Ginny's body arched into him and she cried out at the amazing feelings he invoked inside her, her cries

drove him on harder, wanting to hear her voice crying out for the pleasure he gave her, he flipped them over.

"Like this." He panted, moving her hips backwards and forwards with his hands.

Ginny's eyes widened and with a small "oh." she set the pace, lost in her own amazing world as she rode him, Draco's hands came up to fondle her breasts, she looked down at his passion filled gaze.

"Does this feel good to you Draco?" She gasped.

Draco grinned up at her "Hell yes."

She beamed at him then leant down and kissed him, his arms wrapped around her holding her in place as he began to thrust into her again, she cried out into his mouth as his thrusts began to send her over the edge. He flipped her over again, hooking both her legs over his shoulders his relentless pounding brought them both to their peak, Ginny cried out Draco's name first, Draco groaned Ginny's seconds later, they both collapsed in a tangle of limbs.

Ginny's whole body buzzed from head to toe, she was numb and spent, Draco had collapsed on top of her his weight heavy, but she didn't want him to move, to feel the loss of him still inside of her. Draco seemed to come around and realise he was pinning her down, he pushed himself up slightly lifting his weight off her "Sorry I got a little carried away."

Ginny smiled lazily at him "You don't hear me complaining."

He flashed her a smile then leant in and kissed her, Ginny sighed in contentment, she had never felt so good, Draco finally pulled away and brought a blanket up over themselves, she lay in his arms feeling more at home than ever before.
