The Makings of…Love?
Ginny smiled inwardly at Ron's reaction.
"Did I hear you correctly?" Mandy asked. Ginny nodded enthusiastically. "Draco…Malfoy?" she strung out clearly.
"Yes! Merlin, you sound like it's some sort of big deal or something," Ginny responded, dropping a few sausages and some scrambled eggs on her plate.
"Ginny!" Harry exclaimed. "How is it that you just asked me out last night and this morning you are going out with Draco Malfoy?"
"What? Just because YOU turned me down you don't think I'm capable of getting a boyfriend?" she sneered, angrily stuffing some food in her mouth.
"No, it just seems as if you went for Malfoy off the rebound. I mean, it's Malfoy," Harry reasoned. Now everyone knows the myth of Redheads being as fiery as their hair is red, and if anyone could prove it true, let Ginny Weasley be the one.
"Rebound?" Ginny shouted, standing up so the whole Great Hall turned to look at her. "If I had not asked you out, does not mean I would not have gotten together with him. In fact, I wish I never DID ask you out. You're such a-a…" Ginny made an aggravated noise, stepped away from the bench, and then promptly stormed away. During this little display, Draco had tuned in. He sat there for a second or two, then remembering they were supposed to be "dating", scrambled up and pretended to follow her.
Ginny stopped when she was just beyond the Great Hall doors, away from all eyes. What she didn't expect, though, was a certain someone to be following her.
"Malfoy?" Ginny asked.
"We are dating, aren't we?" he joked.
"Yea, whatever," she responded, sinking to the floor. "Damn Potter. Thinks just because he has the power to save the human race that he can push me around? Say who I can and can not date!?" she muttered to herself.
"I've always told you he's a useless scar-head, but no one wanted to listen to poor old Draco." Ginny rolled her eyes and stood up abruptly, leaning against a wall. "If we have to be out here together long enough for people to think we're dating, we might as well learn something about each other," he said, leaning on the wall next to Ginny.
"Do you like music?" Ginny asked him quietly.
"Can't live without it," he responded.
"Me neither," she commented. "I'm really into the punk rock, hardcore music. What kind of music do you like?"
"I like basically the same thing you do, add in a bit of alternative. My favorite band has to be…I'd have to say either this German band called Rammstein, or an American band called Coheed and Cambria," he mulled it over for a minute. "Probably Rammstein now that I think of it."
"I love Rammstein!" Ginny exclaimed softly. "Coheed and Cambria's good, but Reel Big Fish is great rock and alternative music. They have a song for whatever mood you're in."
Draco nodded absently. Suddenly, there was movement from the entrance of the Great Hall and Ginny nearly threw herself on Draco. Since both of them still had their eyes opened, she motioned towards the door with her eyes and they both saw Harry standing there, stunned. Ginny smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck, sipping at his lips and letting out a small moan to make it believable. His hands ran through her ginger hair, as his tongue dove into her mouth, not even waiting to ask entrance. But she let him in, his tongue flicking in and out of her mouth like a snake.
She gripped fistfuls of his flaxen hair as he spun her around and pinned her against the wall, her skirt hiking up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Once the visually-scarred-for-all-of-eternity Harry had disappeared back into the Great Hall, Ginny and Draco backed apart. They sat in silence for a moment, before Ginny walked away. When she was sure her back was hiding her actions from view, she drew her hand up and touched her tingling lips.
"Hey guys," Ginny greeted as she sat down at the table, as if nothing had happened. She tried to make it noticeable that she was straightening her skirt and smoothing out her frizzed hair.
"Where'd you guys get Ron to, anyways?" Everyone looked at where he had fallen. It seems in the hype, everyone had forgotten he existed.
"I guess Luna came and carried him off or something," Colin responded. Harry poked absently at his potatoes.
"Harry?" Hermione asked gently, pulling his head up by his chin. "What's wrong, sweets?"
"I think I just burned my eyes," he responded warily, staring straight ahead. He turned to Hermione and his eyes were extremely wide.
"Harry stop joking!" Hermione laughed uncertainly.
"You think I'm joking? Ask Ginny what just happened!" he responded, pointing at her while she tried to eat her breakfast again. She failed, though, because she realized she didn't want to get rid of Draco's taste in her mouth. It was kind of like strawberry mint, no doubt from his toothpaste/mouthwash.
"So what? I made out with my boyfriend, no big deal." Hermione's jaw dropped.
"Oh, my poor baby," she cooed sarcastically. "I can't believe you had to witness such a horrible act!" She wrapped her arms around him and started whispering in his ear. He smirked, whispered something back, and Hermione then smirked and nodded. He grabbed her hand and they ran out of the Great Hall, giggling.
"My god. And they think I'M bad," Ginny muttered, poking at her scrambled eggs. Mandy and Colin snorted loudly. Ginny pushed her plate away. She wasn't going to do any eating with his taste still lingering on her lips. She sat up from the bench for the second time in the thirty minutes she had been in that Great Hall and began to walk away.
"Bye," her friends said in unison. She nodded her head in acknowledgement, and began out towards the Entrance Hall. The wind was blowing in through the Entrance, one door which was partially open. She turned towards the door, and began to walk towards freedom, until a hand landed delicately on her arm and she was stopped by that familiar smell of strawberry mint.
"Weasel," then seeing the people around them that clearing knew they were dating look at him funny, he replied. "Term of endearment, jeez!" he delicately laced our fingers and walked out of the castle, not wasting two seconds before letting it go again.
"I asked you not to call me Weasel. That's you and my brother, not you and me," Ginny whispered softly. Draco nodded absently. "About that kiss," Ginny started.
"Bloody fantastic if you ask me," he mumbled.
"What?" she asked, oblivious.
"Nothing," he responded. "Anyways, it was-"
"It was nice," Ginny admitted. If he was going to, she might as well.
"Nice?" he asked with a scrutinizing tone. "Nice?"
"It was bloody fantastic, ok?" she admitted, repeating the words to which she had no clue he had said only moments before. They began to walk aimlessly around the lake.
"So?" he asked, holding his tone and clasping his hands behind his back.
"So what?" Ginny asked, throwing a breadcrumb from her pocket into the lake, only to be swallowed down by the giant squid.
"Do we just go back to the way it was?" he asked nervously, trying not to let his voice quiver. Ginny was silent for a moment, thinking thoughtfully (A/N: lol).
"Would we have it any other way?" she asked.
"I guess-I guess not," he responded. They began to walk back to the school. She was about to bid a good day when they were to part ways, but he just followed her up the next flight of stairs. She looked at him quizzically, to which he responded, "It's only polite for me to walk my lady to her common room." Ginny shrugged and let him lead her back. If it were not for the many onlookers on the way, she wouldn't have warmed up immediately when his hand slipped into hers, and she believed it had nothing to do with his body temperature at the moment.
Ginny was slightly let down when it came to say goodbye. It might've only been not even half a day, but she already felt a slight special bond to him. Ginny don't know what came over her, but as Draco leaned down to give her a good-bye hug (there were MANY people around this time. God, it's so hard pretending to date!) she cradled his face in her hands and pulled him down to meet her in a soft kiss.
It was slow at first, and Ginny only intended for it to be a quick peck. But that peck escalated into something more as she ran her hands through his hair, pushing him closer to him, practically devouring his whole mouth. He was surprised, but melted into the kiss, grabbing her waist and pulling her closer. Soon, getting back to their dormitories was the last thing on their minds.
