Chapter 4

Everyone was tired by the end of the night. Ginny was dragging her feet as she climbed up the stairs to her room. She had danced with everyone at the party. She could tell that Harry had enjoyed his party. He might expect her to come to his room tonight but she just didn't have it in her to go. She wished she could go to Lupin's room but she didn't know how receptive he would be to it so she figured she'd just head to bed. Maybe Hermione would have forgotten that she wanted to have a chat with Ginny and just let her go to sleep without being disturbed. But Ginny had no such luck. Just as soon as Hermione was sure that her and Ginny was alone in the room she started asking questions.

"So, Ginny, are you going to tell me what was distracting you so much earlier?"

Ginny sighed as she sat down on her bed. Trying to think of the appropriate way to say what had been driving her to distraction all day long. How could she tell Hermione that she felt shivers run down her spine at just the thought of Lupin. That she wanted to ravish him right at this moment. How do you tell somebody these feelings. Well she might as well get on with it, Hermione wouldn't let the subject drop until she told her the whole of it. "Since you insist on knowing, I guess I could tell you as long as you promise to keep it to yourself."

"Of course. How could you even think that I would go blabbing my mouth?"

"I know you wouldn't 'Mione or I wouldn't even think on telling you."

"Well come on spit it out. I'm dying here."

"Do you remember how I had that crush on Lupin in my second year?"

"Yeah… OH MY GOD!!! You like Lupin!"

"Surprise, Surprise."

"Oh Ginny, that's not terrible. He might be a little older than you, but you know what they say about older me."

"Yes, well now you know. I mean I know he wants me also but he's too stubborn and noble to act on it. I've been trying to think of a way to seduce him. What do you think?"

"Wow. That's great. It's about time you moved on from Harry." Hermione was so happy for her friend. She knew that Ginny still cared a little bit for Harry and that sometimes Ginny still dwelled in the past.

"Seriously. You don't think that's wrong or anything?"

"No. Of course not. Ginny this is wonderful. Like you said, now all we have to do is find out a way for you to seduce him."

"We'll have to talk about it later, I'm just too tired to talk now. Good night 'Mione."

As Ginny slipped into bed she thought about the events of the day. She smiled as she thought about how good it had felt to dance in Lupin's arms. Somehow she had managed to catch a slow song when she reached him. It was heaven its self being able to feel the heat of his skin seep through her clothes as she stood there chest to chest, circling around the backyard. It would have felt so wonderful if she could have been able to stay in his arms all night but the song ended and they had to pull apart. It would have been so easy to stand on tip-toe and give him a long lingering kiss, but she decided it wouldn't be in her best interest to do that in fron of her whole family. As the night wore on she danced around the group of people again and had almost made it to where Lupin was standing when her mom called it a night and told them to get to bed. It would be a long time before Ginny got to sleep.

As Lupin stripped his robes and got into bed he wondered if Ginny had felt how fast his heart had been beating while they had been dancing. The whole time that they where dancing he had became increasingly aware of the fact that Ginny's young perfect breast were pushed up against his chest or the fact that, that was the closest he would probably ever get to her again. He felt his groin tighten as he thought about how she had brushed against him and how the scent of her long gorgeous hair had intoxicated his senses so much that it took all his will power not to pull her closer to his wanting body. How bad he wanted to bend his head and take her full lips in a searing kiss. Lupin lay there a long time before he finally drifted off to dream with thoughts of Ginny in his head.

Through the next month Lupin thought he was slowly being driven mad with desire. It was as if Ginny were trying to make him lose his head. It seemed to him that the harder he tried to stay away from her the more she was around him. If he went walking through the garden, trying to get away from her scent, instead of finding the empty garden as he had hoped, he would see Ginny walking about, talking to Hermione.

He wondered what they talked about. Lately they always seemed to be huddled together whispering about something. Once or twice he saw Ginny blush about something and glance his way. They were getting to be as bad as George and Fred were like when they were plotting something.

He didn't know if it was just him or Ginny was becoming more daring in what she wore. It was probably just his sad imagination. Maybe even wishful thinking. Lupin just hoped he could make it to September 1st without trying to ravage the girl. He only had to wait a few more weeks, then he would be at Hogwarts where she had to wear a uniform (thank God), and there would be rules stopping anything from happening…he hoped.

Ginny was excited. The first day of her last year at Hogwarts and she had a plan. It had taken Hermione and Ginny what was left of the summer to come up with it and Ginny was still a little bit nervous about it, but she knew it was going to work. She was determined it was going to work. She had all her things packed the night before so she wouldn't have to be running around trying to find stuff so she would have time to start the action between her and Lupin. She made her way down to the study where she knew that Lupin would be alone. He wasn't going to be traveling with them to Kings Cross, he said he had work he had to get done before heading to Hogwarts. The door to the study was half way open so Ginny slipped inside. "Hello Lupin." Ginny about whispered as she walked up to him. He was leaned against the wall, drinking a glass of firewhiskey. He looked up startled to see the person he had been thinking about standing just inches in front of him.

"I've been wanting to do this all summer," Ginny breathed right before she leaned forward and place her lips firmly on his. Lupin was shocked, he was about to push her away until he felt her slide her tongue over his lips. Tasting him. He groaned, and muttered something Ginny didn't understand and didn't care because the next moment she was crushed against his body and he was devouring her mouth. She felt his tongue enter her mouth and she accepted it. It was a most wonderful sensation being kissed by Lupin. But all great things must end so she pulled away from him, seeing a dazed look on his face she smiled and turned and walked away. "See you at Hogwarts Lupin." She purred right before she shut the door.

Damn Lupin thought as he paced the floor, his groin achingly hard. Why had she done that? He had been trying to avoid seeing her until they reached Hogwarts to put a little space between her and him. He could see that this year wasn't going to turn out how he'd planned, and maybe things would be taking an interesting turn. If she thought she could play games well so could he. Yes, this year would be very interesting.

Ginny couldn't wait to get to Hogwarts. The train ride over seemed to take longer than usual. Ginny felt the excitement building inside of her just thinking of Lupin and all the possibilities in store for the year. Finally reaching Hogwarts, Ginny walked into the Great Hall searching for Lupin. She found Sirius sitting up at the highly table and waved at him. He seemed comfortable in his new role as a teacher, but Ginny knew otherwise. This being his first real job he was nervous. Right beside him was the man she was looking for. He looked up to see who Sirius was waving at. There eyes connected for a moment, then he winked at her! Ginny gave a tiny grin and headed to the Gryffindor table.

I have more chapters coming. Hopefully they will be longer then the previous ones. Thank everyone for the great reviews.
