This was supposed to be one whole chapter, however,it got way too long so I broke it into three.

You care lol


Like a fool I went and stayed too long

Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong

Oo baby, here I am,

Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Then that time I went and said goodbye

Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry

Oo baby, here I am,

Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby

Oh, you've got the future in your hand

-Stevie Wonder Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours


Chapter Twenty-Six: Christmas, Hogwarts

Christmas morning had came upon Hogwarts and for the students that were still at school, it couldn't have been more fun. Throughout the day, owls and elves had delivered presents and cards to students and teachers. Professor McGonagall had set up a lot of events, such as ice skating on the frozen over lake, a huge house snowball fight amongst the houses, sleigh rides, tobogganing down a wizard made hill in the quidditch field, and also allowed students to go down to Hogsmeade.

Ginny, Blaise, and Draco were curled up warmly in the pillow and blanket fort they had made in the middle of the common room. They had camped out together the night before. Draco woke up first, looking over at the red headed vixen that was cuddled up beside him. He grinned as he looked at her face, the only time it showed true innocence and venerability was when she was asleep.

He nudged her gently and she let out an aggravated moan and turned the other way.

"You better wake up and move love, unless you want Blaise to think something is up." whispered Draco with a bite at her ear.

"What the hell Draco. Why are you trying to eat me?" moaned Ginny, trying not to laugh.

"Oh you would know it if I was trying to do that." he whispered, once again biting her ear.

"Stop that." said Ginny, lighting popping his lips as she turned around to face him.

"Well then, get your ass up and away from me." laughed Draco.

Ginny and Draco were at a weird crossroads. Ever since the day they they had shagged, they had tried to avoid going at it once again, each of them filled with the same mixed feelings. Both of them mutually felt bad for cheating on their significant others, however, both of them knew that they could no longer deny their feelings for one another. And they were growing more and more with each passing day.

"Pushy." said Ginny mockingly. "I'm moving, I'm moving."

"You two are loud." grumbled Blaise, causing Draco and Ginny to jump.

They turned to face Blaise, who was rubbing his eyes as he faced the two.

"Morning Blaise! Kind dreams?" said Ginny. nervously.

"Oh come it Gin, I already know you and Draco have been fucking every single day since the start of the holidays." said Blaise as if the thought bored him.

Both Draco and Ginny's jaws dropped. "What are you talking about? It was only one time!" exclaimed Ginny!

"HA! I KNEW IT!" yelled Blaise, pointing at Ginny. "I didn't know sgit! I just made that up to see what you would say! So you two really have been shagging?!"

Draco glared at Ginny while she looked shamefully at the floor. She couldn't believe she had fallen for that.

"It was only one time." said Draco. "And it wasn't planned or anything. It just happened. Heat of the moment, if you will."

"Heat of the moment my ass." said Blaise. "You two have had sexual tension since the start of term. I'm shocked that you even held out from each other this long."

"Well, I am irresistible." said Draco, smugly, earning him a hard push from Ginny.

"Look, you two both know I'm Team Ginco...Drinny...whatever, but both of you are already in relationships. What's gonna happen with that?"

"Easy fix. Gin here just has to ditch that loser Krum."

Ginny eyed Draco. "Wait a second. First of all, we never talked about pursuing anything. Second, as I've said before, I happen to like Luka a lot. And third, what about Romilda? You gonna ditch her?"

Draco looked down at the ground, not knowing what to say. "Exactly what I thought." said Ginny, feeling slightly disappointed.

"Look, I like Ro." said Draco. "I've told you that before. And she hasn't done anything to deserve me just ditching her with no cause. Especially when she isn't here. Besides, if you aren't gonna end things with that prat, why would I end things with her?"

"So I guess you shagging me really was just the heat of the moment. None of what you said was true, was it?" said Ginny, trying to force her emotions back.

"Now wait a minute Gin-"

"Just leave me alone." said Ginny as she crawled out of the tent and retreated to her room, locking the door behind her.

"Shit." sighed Draco as he ran a hand through his messed up hair.

"Well, that went as I thought it would." said Blaise as he got up and started to take down the tent.

"Fuck off Zabini."

"What are you angry at me for? And what did Ginny mean?"

"That's none of your damn business." growled Draco.

"Yes the fuck it is. You know she's like my sister. And I want to know how you hurt her."

"I thought we were brothers! Shouldn't you be taking my side?"

"Hell no."

"Fine." said Draco, defeated. "I told her that I loved her. More than once."

Blaise proceeded to hit Draco hard with a firm pillow. "Why the fuck would you do that?!"

"Hey!" said Draco, trying to dodge it. "Stop it! I didn't tell her that being casual!"

Blaise stopped mid swing. "So you're saying that you meant it?"

"Of course I bloody meant it, Blaise! But if she isn't gonna break up with Krum, why should I hurt Romilda's feelings and break up with her for no reason? I'm already gonna hurt her by telling her what Ginny and I did." said Draco as he sat on the sofa.

"You're actually going to say something? Wow. How unSlytherin of you." chuckled Blaise.

"Mental right? But yeah, I'm going to tell her. I don't need her discovering it any other way."

"So, the two of you are just gonna be miserable? I think you should go and talk to her about this. It isn't fair to neither one of you if you really love the girl."

"True. Besides, I got something to give her anyways." said Draco.


Draco went up to his room and got a box wrapped in green with a silver bow. He then walked over to Ginny's door and knocked.

"I know it's you, now go away." said Ginny.

"I just wanna talk and give you your present." said Draco, hoping the present would get her to open the door.

Sure enough, she opened the door and stared daggers at Draco.

"Can I come in?" he asked holding up the box. Ginny rolled her eyes and let him in, closing the door after him.

Draco felt a twinge of guilt as he looked at Ginny's puffy eyes.

"Gin, why are we doing this?"

"Doing what? You already said it. It was a heat of the moment thing. You didn't mean anything."

"Yes I did Ginny, damn! Why are you being such a bitch?!" yelled Draco.

"Again with the bitches! Next time you call me that, I'm going to hex your bollocks to your face!" threatened Ginny, pointing her wand at Draco's forehead.

"Okay! Sorry! But yes I did mean it when I said I loved you. I do love you. But you are the one that is holding us back! Why would I break up with Romilda if you don't have any intention on breaking up with Krum?!"

Ginny lowered her wand. "So, you're serious? You really feel for me? This is real?"

Draco handed Ginny the present. "Open it." he said.

Ginny pulled off the bow, careful not to mess it up because she found it and the wrapping beautiful. She took off the tape and unfolded the paper, sliding the box out of the paper.

She opened the box. Inside of it was what looked like a very expensive book. She opened the book and gasped.

Inside it were pictures of the two of them. Pictures that she didn't even know were taken. There was a picture of them flying around the quidditch pitch late at night when they thought no one was looking, there were pictures of them just sitting around talking, there were pics of them arguing, and even a couple of them cuddled up in what they thought was in secret, kissing.

"How did you-"

"The Creevy boy gave them to me." said Draco. "Said they were on one of his brother's films. Apparently your sneaky little friend had been snooping around and taking pictures of us."

She continued to look through the pictures until she got to the last one. This was the only picture she knew was taken, because Draco had taken it himself. It was of the two of them, and they were laying down in his bed in his dorm. She had laughed at something dirty that he had whispered in her ear. Then, her face changed as he had whispered something else in her ear. Something meaningful. She had turned and kissed him. And then the picture started over.

"I thought about the best thing to get you for Christmas." began Draco. "I figured jewelry would be nice, but that would have been cliche. And you're far from cliche."

"This is wonderful, Draco. I really love it."

"And I really love you." said Draco. "But how can we make this work if both of us are-"

"I'll do it." said Ginny.

"Do what?"

"When Luka comes back to Hogwarts, I'll break up with him." said Ginny, confidently.

Draco looked surprised. "Is that what you really want to do?"

"I want to do whatever gets me this back." said Ginny, holding out the album.

Draco took Ginny into his arms and hugged her tight. "And I'll do the same." he said.

"Are you sure?"

"Completely."

Ginny snuggled her face against Draco's chest. "Okay, but until then, we still have to keep our hands to ourselves."

"But what if the moment is hot?" joked Draco.
