Chapter 7: Kisses In The Dark
~/
"Oh… gross! I shared my first kiss with you!" Angelina gagged. Only Angelina would be able to find something sexually physically wrong with a situation where she could die.
"You… you're Voldemort's latest prize?" Draco asked, "You're… well… you."
"We're fighting for the same cause Malfoy. To wipe out Mudbloods."
"This is ridiculous!" Draco laughed.
"Well, we'll discuss this after I kill dear Angelina here." He raised his wand, "Avada…"
"Hey! Dick wad!" Ginny shouted, standing up, "You tried to kill ME first. Can't you finish something you've already started?"
He turned to her, "Always had to go first, didn't you Virginia?"
"You know me. Always the selfish one." Ginny shrugged carelessly and coolly and cast her eyes quickly to Angelina's. Angelina understood and scooted forward a bit, "But what I can't understand is why…" She trailed off.
He lowered his wand and sighed, "Alright, I'll bite for the hell of it. Why what?"
"Now!" Ginny shouted.
Angelina shoved her leg into the back of his knees, sending him crashing down to the ground. Angelina stood and ran over to Ginny, grasping hands together. He stood back up and Ginny freaked. She kicked him between the legs which buckled his knees again. Angelina brought her leg up, and brought her boot across his face, sending him to the ground again. His face hit a rock and he stilled.
"Is he dead?" Ginny whispered.
He groaned and moved a bit.
"NO! RUN!" Angelina answered and they hopped over the limp body and started to run through the forest again with Blaise and Draco trailing quickly behind them.
"You're Death Eaters?" Angelina tossed over her shoulder, "GREAT! I've been making out with a DEATH EATER!"
"Technically, Draco's only a Death Eater! I don't become one till my graduation!" Blaise corrected.
"Less chit chat! More running!" Ginny shouted.
They made it to the openness of Hogwarts Grounds when a spell was cast their way, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" The spell missed all four of them and they made it into the castle and ran all the way to the library. None of them ever hearing his promise that they'll pay. Crashing through the doors, Madame Pinch looked at them quite peeved. They barely noticed as they ran all the way to the back of the library.
They stopped when they couldn't run anymore, "We're not safe…" Ginny gulped in a deep breath of air as she hunched over trying to catch her breath, "Here. He can come in at any moment. He risked an Unforgivable in front of Hagrid's Hut. He's deranged."
"Worse." Draco said, "He's a Death Eater."
"We'll go back to Gryffindor Tower." Angelina offered, "We're safe there. He won't know the password. And the Fat Lady won't let him in because he's no longer a student."
Blaise shrugged, "It's better than Slytherin, but we'll have to run really fast in case he comes inside."
"On thirty?" Angelina asked, hoping to catch her breath.
"Try three hun." Ginny said.
"One." Angelina started.
"Two." Draco said next.
"Three!" Blaise finished and all four of them started running again, never relenting as they ran through the hallways, up the changing stairs, passed students enveloped in their own world, and towards the Gryffindor the Fat Lady.
"Mandragora!" Ginny and Angelina shouted at the same time.
The Fat Lady swung open and Draco, Blaise, Ginny, and Angelina ran into the Common Room, up the stairs, and into Angelina, Ginny, Alex, and Cassie's dorm.
"Alex and Cassie are in Hogsmeade for the weekend with their parents. They'll stay over tonight and tomorrow night."
"We can't go back to Slytherin." Blaise stated, "He's probably told everyone by now that we didn't help him kill Ginny or Angelina. And that we escaped with them."
"You can stay here tonight. In the morning… we'll think up a plan." Ginny said, gulping in air.
"Anyone thought about going to Dumbledore?" Angelina asked.
"No… not yet. I want to make sure its not a spell or something that was put on him." Ginny answered, she plopped down on her bed and Angelina on her own. "And Malfoy, Zabini, you two have to make a choice. Are you Death Eaters, or are you with Angelina and I."
"Well… this has been an eventful month so far, ey?" Angelina asked, her fingers massaging her temples, "I'm too tired for this shit."
"I second that." Ginny answered, sighing, she closed her eyes.
"Uhm… girls, sorry to put a damper on your sleep fest but Draco and I have nothing to wear to sleep and where're we supposed to sleep?" Blaise asked.
"Good point. Cassie and Alex have protection spells on their beds. No one can get on them unless they're invited. They requested them. I guess you can sleep on the floor." Ginny shrugged from her laying position, clearly not really caring.
"How bout Gin and I sleep in one bed and you two can sleep in the other?" Angelina asked, straining her head up a bit to look at them.
"No way in hell am I sleep in the same bed as Zabini here." Draco backed away from his housemate.
"Fine. Blaise can sleep in my bed." Angelina said, "You try anything, I'll kick your ass." Angelina climbed off the bed and went to her dresser, "I'm gonna go change."
Ginny sighed and grunted as she got up, "Me too. Touch anything you die!" Ginny threatened them.
Ginny grabbed her pajamas and followed Angelina into the bathroom. Angelina faced the shower, Ginny faced the door, there backs facing each other.
"Shit! Ginny, we have a prefect meeting tomorrow night." Angelina said, "What're we gonna do?"
"We'll Floo from here to the Great Hall and walk to the meeting. Its not that far. And it'll be suspicious if two Slytherins and two Gryffindor's enter from the same Floo grate." Ginny answered, pulling her t-shirt over her head. She looked into the mirror and wet a facecloth and wiped the blood off her face.
Angelina nodded and walked out followed by Ginny. Angelina wore black silk pajama pants, a matching spaghetti strap tank top with two dragons intertwined, one red, one blue, and her hair up in a loose ponytail.
Ginny wore a long t-shirt that belonged to Charlie, the short sleeves that barely went to Charlie's elbows went to Ginny's wrists almost, with a red Hungarian Horntail dragon on the front, and gray pants. Her hair up in a bun.
The climbed into their beds, "Draco can sleep with me." Ginny forced out with a sigh.
The guys pulled their tops off and Draco left his pants on while Blaise took his off, leaving him in only boxers. Draco climbed softly and slowly into Ginny's bed, his bare back rubbing against her t-shirt.
Blaise climbed in next to Angelina, wrapping his arm around her waist he pulled her to him, "Wanna finish what we
started earlier?" He joked, kissing her shoulder blade.
"Go to sleep." Angelina deadpanned.
"Right." Blaise said, dejectedly.
~/
Ginny sighed and looked over at Angelina. She'd been asleep for at least three hours and so had Blaise and Draco. She slowly rolled from the bed and onto the carpet by her bed. She stood and looked at Angelina again. She was snuggled against Blaise against his chest and had her arm thrown over his waist, and his thrown over hers, pulling her to his body. Draco slept peacefully looking angelic, his body laying on his side, but his arm threw over the edge of the bed, twisting him to lay partially on his back.
She grabbed a parchment and quill and wrote: Went to Prefects bathroom for shower and swim, be back later. I have my wand with me. Left at 245. Be back by 5.
She left the piece of parchment by Angelina's wand and left the room. Traveling out the Fat Lady's portrait, she quietly went down the hall, down the enchanted changing stairs, and into the Main Hallway. With her wand ready, she ran over to the Prefects bathroom and pushed her wand into the whole.
"Ginny Weasley. Sixth Year Gryffindor Prefect. Your Password Please."
"Prophetic." She said lowly, the secret door opened.
Closing the door behind her, Ginny walked over towards the locker room area where swimsuits and extra towels were kept. She typed in the Muggle combo of 6404 and pulled the locker door open.
She grabbed her towel and changed into the black two piece bikini before heading over to the pool. She looked around, making sure she was alone, before diving head first into the pool. The water enveloped her body and calmed her nerves immediately. She kept her eyes closed and surfaced moments later and opened her eyes. She jumped backward and screamed shortly.
"Jesus Christ Malfoy!" She shouted, her eyes clamped shut, her hand over her heart, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Followed you to make sure you'd be alright."
Ginny looked at him blankly, "Why?"
"Because…" He trailed off, "Because I wanted to." He stated childishly, not coming up with a good reason. He'd seen her sneaking out and decided to follow her just so she'd be safe.
Ginny stepped toward him, her eyes narrowed, "Riiiiiiiiiiiiight." Ginny drew out suspiciously, "And why did you decide to jump into the pool and scare the hell out of me?"
He chuckled slightly. A real chuckle, not an evil one.
"Oh! You think its funny seeing me scared?" Ginny asked angrily, her arms crossed over her chest.
"You're beautiful when you're angry." Draco answered softly, his hand tucking a stray piece of wet hair behind her ear.
Ginny, for one in her life, was speechless. Draco's arms wrapped around her waist, his hands pressing on to the small of her back, pulling her closer.
"What're you doing?" Ginny asked softly.
"You told me earlier to make a choice." He answered softly, his eyes searching hers, "Well I just did." He bent down and captured her lips in a slow passionate kiss. Her eyes fluttered closed as she returned his kiss. She opened her mouth to him when his tongue pried her lips apart and licked her teeth. She wrapped her arms around his neck and arched her back, trying to get as close as possible to him. They stayed wrapped up in each other for the next few minutes till they both broke apart gasping for air. She tried to kiss his mouth again but settled for his jaw and chin.
"What I did this morning in your room, might've been a ploy to get information, but what I said was true." She breathed and looked into his eyes, "When we were stuck in the library, I felt something. And I still do. Maybe its passion or lust or just the intensity of whats going on, or maybe even some sort of crazy twisted love, but I want you Draco."
He searched her eyes before pulling her out of the pool and towards the fireplace, "Draco Malfoy's Room." Draco shouted with Ginny in his arms.
A few minutes later, they were laying on the floor of his bed room. He performed a simple cleaning harm and got rid of the Floo soot on them. He helped her to her feet and led her to the bed. He lightly pushed her down onto the bed and lay on top of her. She looked into his eyes and he looked back as his hands went upward to her bikini top.

Angelina moaned in her sleep as she turned over. She looked to where Ginny would be sleeping but didn't see her or Draco. She went for her wand and found a piece of parchment. Reading it over, she relaxed, then noticed Draco's handwriting at the bottom, Went to make sure Ginny's alright.
"She's safe with Draco." Blaise whispered behind her, clearly have read the note over her shoulder, "He won't let anything happen on his watch."
Angelina sighed and lay back down looking up at the ceiling, "When my dad was kidnapped… I knew stuff would get bad… but not this bad." She looked over at Blaise when he tensed at the mention of her father, "Is something wrong?" She asked.
"No." He answered, looking her in the eye. He reached forward, his hand cupping her cheek, and kissed her. She closed her eyes and sat up a bit to get better access to his body. She placed her hand on his chest and pushed him to lay on his back. Never breaking their lips apart, she swung her left leg over to his side to straddle his stomach. She broke away and her hands reached for the hem of her tank top.
Blaise placed his hands over hers, "Are you sure?" He asked. She stopped and bent down to kiss him again, her hands slipping out from underneath his and over his muscular chest. His hands slid under her tank top and up her abdomen, bringing the tank top with his hands.

Draco and Ginny lay next to each other in the after glow of sex. Ginny took a deep breath and moved to get out of the bed, "I'm gonna go take a shower before we have to head back to Gryffindor. It's already four thirty in the morning." Ginny said, walking over to the bathroom naked. She turned the water on to hot and got in. She heard a rustle behind her and turned to see Draco staring silently down at her.
"You don't know where the towels are. Figured I'd come show you." He said with a smirk.
"Didn't know you kept them in the shower." She smiled and ran her wet hand through his heat moistened hair. Her hand came to rest on his cheek and he lent into the touch and kissed the heel of her palm.
"Ginny…" He whispered, looking into her eyes with lust.
"Who'd have ever thought!" She chuckled, "You and I." She whispered.
"We did." He answered, leaning down to kiss her. He pulled away and kissed her temple, "Wash up. I'll meet you by the fireplace." He kissed her lips quickly again and left.
"Uhm… the towels?" She asked.
"In the pantry." He smirked and left.
~/
Angelina sighed as Blaise rolled off her and on to his side next to her.
They lay their in unmoving awkward silence while Blaise pondered something in his head.
"Ya'know, I've always wanted you." Blaise said, "I always saw you at the Quidditch matches and practice for every team."
"Of course you did, I'm the new replacement announcer!" Angelina laughed.
"Yeah, but you made subtle comments about me that I always caught. "Blaise Zabini lookin hot this year in more ways than one", "Wow! Excellent move executed by Blaise Zabini of Slytherin"."
"You actually paid attention to that?!" Angelina laughed again and reddened, "Well, that's embarrassing!" She laughed still but silenced when Blaise kissed her.
"I find it sexy that you speak your mind." He smiled.
"Well, then, I've found you sexy since last year when you started playing Quidditch. I've been attracted to you for that long too. But you know, never thought you'd go for me because I'm a Gryff." She smiled and licked her lips.
"Well, you should've tried cause I've been attracted to you since your third year."
"Three years?!" Angelina asked, apparently surprised, "Well." She smiled seducingly, "Looks like we've got time to make up for." She lent over so they were chest-to-chest and kissed him."
~/
Ginny put back on her clothing and walked out to meet Draco at the fireplace, "We can Floo right to my room." Ginny told him, grabbing a handful of Floo powder.
"Ginny's Room!" Draco and Ginny shouted, throwing Floo powder down into the Floo grate.
~/
They crashed out the other end of the Floo network in Ginny's dorm. They stood and looked over at Blaise and Angelina, both naked, in Angelina's bed, with Angelina on top of Blaise.
Angelina sighed, "Unbelievable. Worse timing EVER award goes to… well! We have a tie! Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley!" Angelina said dryly, pulling on her tank top and pants under the covers.
Ginny's mouth was open in shock and Draco just chuckled, "Go Zabini." Ginny's hand swatted Draco on the chest.
"Do you two mind me asking why you're holding hands?" Blaise asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Uhm… we went at the same time in the Floo grate." Ginny lied.
"Sure. Ginny got laid." Angelina teased.
"So did you apparently." Ginny threw back.
"I'm not hiding it!" Angelina said, brushing her long hair out.
"Neither was… oh wait. I was." Ginny pouted and crossed her arms of her chest.
"Ha!" Angelina tossed a pillow at Ginny.
"Brat!" Ginny shouted.
"Slllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllut!" Angelina drew out!
"Thank you Jim Carrey!" Ginny said sarcastically.
"Liar, Liar was one of my favorite movies!" Angelina said defensively.
"How about we sleep the next two hours till breakfast?" Draco intervened before the two girls got any louder.
"Too wired." Angelina said, "Anyone wanna play a game?"
"What game?" Draco asked curiously.
Ginny smiled devilishly knowing exactly what game, "Wicked Truth."
"Wicked Truth?" Blaise asked.
"Its liked Truth or Dare. Except you sub Dare with Wicked Truth. Truth can be within boundaries like "Whats your favorite band" or "Whats you favorite color" but Wicked Truth is ANY type of question, "When did you first have sex?" "Have you ever had a threesome" that type of game." Ginny explained.
"I don't know…" Draco seemed a bit hesitant.
"I'm in!" Blaise automatically said.
"Three's boring, four's a party!" Angelina tempted.
Draco sighed and nodded reluctantly under Ginny's gaze, "Fine."
"Woo!" Angelina grabbed her wand and performed a spell that made Ginny and her own beds scoot together.
They all sat in a circle, Ginny, Blaise, Angelina, and Draco.
"Since it's my game. I start." Angelina said, "Ginny, truth or wicked truth?"
"Truth."
"Damn you!" Angelina growled, "What's your favorite Muggle band?"
"Trapt." She answered automatically, "Though they tie with Linkin Park and Evanescence." Ginny sighed, "Ok. Blaise. Truth or Wicked Truth?"
"Truth."
"Wimp." Ginny coughed, "Favorite color?"
"Tan. Because it leaves little imagination to a woman's body when they wear it." He smirked looking over at Angelina, whom often wore tan clothing, "Angelina, truth or wicked truth?"
"Truth." She answered with a smile.
"I hear that you have a pet but no one ever sees it."
"That's true. It's a capuchin monkey that lives in the Herbology houses. Professor Sprout has a little portal for my monkey that's a picture of me. If he touches it, he comes through the wall right above my nightstand." She looked around, "Draco, truth or wicked truth?"
"Wicked truth." He answered bravely.
"Why did you have sex with Ginny?"
"Angelina!" Ginny gasped.
"Rules about Wicked Truth: There are none! Any question is fair game."
"I'll answer. Because I'm attracted to her. She's sexy and gorgeous and not at all like any of her annoying brothers."
~/
Two hours later at nearly seven o'clock, things were getting interesting when Draco asked Blaise, "Truth or Wicked Truth?"
"Wicked Truth."
"Did you know about Jason Michaels being kidnapped?"
Angelina's drooping sleepy head shot up at this.
"Malfoy, you're just trying to get back at me because I asked how good Weasley was in bed."
"Answer it." Draco growled.
"No. I didn't. Not till after I heard in the paper."
Draco raised his eyebrow.
"It's 7. We can head down for breakfast." Ginny said before the game could go on.
Angelina and Ginny locked hands and went to go change in the bathroom. Blaise waited till they were in the bathroom before he shoved Draco down on to the bed, his arm pressed against Draco's throat, "You know how long I've wanted Michaels. You fuck this up, you'll seriously regret it." He shoved off and waited for the girls to come out, Draco not moving.
Ginny came out first in jeans and a blue tank top followed by Angelina in a dark blue mini denim skirt, and a tan tank top with a bare midriff.
"Ready?"
Draco and Blaise got up and nodded, "We'll Floo to our rooms and see you after breakfast." Angelina and Blaise kissed and Draco and Ginny did too.
~/
Ginny and Angelina sat smiling brightly next to each other across from Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Oh my Merlin!" Ron gasped, "Ginny's smiling."
"Shut up Ron. Even if Charlie's dead I can smile." She stated angrily.
Hoo! An owl swooped down and dropped a roll of parchment in Angelina's lap.
"That's not my family owl." Angelina said and unrolled the parchment and read it and went white immediately, "Ginny…" She gulped and handed the letter to Ginny. Ginny read it and paled to.
"I'll see you later Ron." Ginny said and got up and ran, Angelina following.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione followed her, not watching as two Slytherin's got up and followed.
~/
"No! Oh my God." Ginny cried as she moved around in circles, "This isn't happening. This isn't happening."
"It's happening!" Angelina said as tears poured down her face.
Draco and Blaise ran up, slowing down till Blaise slid on to the ground in front of Angelina and Draco took a step by Ginny accidentally.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Draco asked, grabbing Ginny under the arms to stop her. Her hands grasped at his upper arms and she bent her knees so she was almost sitting on the ground.
"He…" She coughed as sobs choked her voice, "He took them."
"Took who?" Draco asked.
"Angelina?" Blaise softly said her name, wiping tears away.
"Our families. My parents and brothers except Ron are gone.
"My mom and my brother and sister are gone too." Angelina cried.
Draco's face contorted with guilt, sadness, and sympathy. He wrapped his arms around Ginny as her knees buckled.
Blaise sighed and pulled Angelina into his embrace as well.
Three pairs of footsteps approached and shouts emitted.
"What the hell is going on?!" Ron shouted.
Ginny looked up.
"Get away from my sister ferret!" Ron shouted, "Gin, what did he do to you?"
"They're gone…"
"Who's gone?"
"He took them. He took our brothers and parents Ron. And Angelina's too."
"I'll kill you ferret!" Ron screamed but Ginny shook her head.
"Not Draco. No, the person that killed Charlie." Ginny whispered.
"Who was it Ginny? Do you know?" Ron asked, Hermione, Harry, and Ron getting closer to hear her.
"Percy…" She told them.
~/
Yep. I was extremely obvious. Everyone who thought it was Percy was right!
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far. I'll put up the next chapter tomorrow.
Preview::
"Ron…" Ginny walked up to him and sighed, "Why would I lie about this?"
"Maybe because you're covering for yourself? Maybe you killed Charlie." After the words flew out of Ron's mouth, he felt white hot pain, and was down on the ground.
