7 Minutes in Heaven
Ginny tapped her foot impatiently against stone floor of the corridor. Pulling back the sleeve of her robe she looked at her watch to check that it was the right time. And it was. Ten O'clock on the dot, and she was right where Blaise had asked her to meet him. Now all she had to do was find him. Bloody Bugger.
"Boo." Ginny jumped at hearing the sound whispered into her ear, a small scream emitting from her lips. She glared at the Wizard in front of her, placing her hand on her hips. She knew that at this moment she probably looked very much like her own mother, but that wasn't important right now.
"Blaise," she said shortly before dropping her hands from her waist, "What did you want me down here for?"
"I have a nice surprise for you…an early birthday present, if you will." He said smiling as he took her hand and began to lead her down the corridor. "I know your birthday is a while away, but I just couldn't help myself." He gently squeezed her hand as they came to a stop in front of a door.
"Wow, Blaise thank you! A door…this is what I've always wanted!" She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Ginny knew Blaise had to be up to something, her birthday wasn't for another four months, what could possibly be so big and important that he couldn't wait?
Never in a million years did Ginny see herself being out around the castle this late with Blaise Zabini, not of her own free will. As it were, they are now friends. Good friends. Just after seeing him down in the Kitchens at night a few days in a row, they found they had more in common that they probably would have liked. However, they did not ignore these things and steadily became friends. How she kept it from Ron, Harry and Hermione was easy to see, but how Blaise kept it from Draco? She was a bit unsure, not that it mattered, really.
"Not a door, something behind the door." He told her, and gently nudged her forward. Slowly, she walked forward and reached out, placing her hand on the door knob. She turned the knob and hesitated before finally opening the door, at least a little excited to see what could be behind it.
Upon opening the door and looking inside, Ginny frowned when she saw nothing in what appeared to be a small closet. Just some old things, she didn't know what they were and would prefer not to touch them. There very well could be a reason why there were in this closet. "Where is it?"
Blaise looked in trough the door and arched an eyebrow before stroking his, "Hmm it must not have…arrived yet." He said, before shrugging his shoulders, "You just stay right here and I'll have it within a few seconds." He closed the door a bit before turning the corner.
Ginny heard some hushed voices and feared that Blaise had run into Filch and she would be stuck in this closet until it the morning. Soon enough her questions were answered as the door was pulled open and something was shoved at her. "7 minutes, loves." Came from the laughing mouth of Blaise.
Ginny frowned as it being so dark and felt around for her wand, swearing when she couldn't find it. "Lumos," said a voice from very close to her. Now that there was light she could see the closet was very small indeed. She reached up, moving the light from directly in her eye to the side and looking at the spell caster's face.
"Malfoy? What in the blazes are you doing in here? Surely you can't be my early birthday gift." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. Wait a second, she didn't have to be in here with this sodding git. She reached a hand out to turn the door knob but an electric shock was delivered to her hand.
Draco laughed as she nursed her hand, "Smooth Weasel," he said as he turned to see what else was in this excuse of a closet. He saw a piece of paper pinned to the wall and read aloud, "7 minutes in heaven. You are to be in this closet for 7 minutes, spend your time in heaven wisely." Turning back to face Ginny he arched an eyebrow, "What the bloody hell does that mean?"
Ginny was silent for a while before answering him. "It's a Muggle game…You spend 7 minutes in a closer with someone and are intended to snog that person, but I will do no such thing." She humphed and leaned back against the nearest wall. "Blaise is going to be in the dog house for this one…honestly, what kind of silly prank-" she trailed off, looking at Malfoy. "You don't seem all to disappointed to be in such a small capacity with a Weasley."
He shrugged, "How do you know Blaise anyhow?"
"Long story…he's a-a friend." She knew Draco and Blaise were close, but how to explain they had been meeting each other secretly? As friends only of course. "Ask him yourself when we get out of here."
Draco shrugged, it wasn't necessarily his business who Blaise went around with. "So…" he started, licking his lips. "We are intended to snog it says."
"Yes that's what the point of this game is, but we are not."
"Why not? You know you want to Weasley."
"I know I don't want to. You little ferret. Besides you'd probably burn your lips off after kissing a Weasley, wouldn't you?"
"Depends on if you can snog or not…I bet you can't…silly Weaslette, to think your experience would even begin to reach mine."
Ginny stood up straight and glared at him, "Shows what you know Malfoy I am…very…talented in this sort of area."
"3 minutes!" They heard being yelled from outside the door.
"Talented you say? The only thing Weasley's are good at is…well, being poor."
"You foul mouth, evil, loathsome little creep! How dare you speak of my family in such a way!"
Draco shrugged as though it was nothing, "I just preach the truth, and it hurts."
Growling she knocked the wand out of his hand and grabbed a fistful of his shirt, pulling him towards her. She didn't hesitate to wrap and arm around his neck and pull his head down to hers. She felt him resist a little but before he could pull away her lips were on his in a hard kiss.
Pulling back from the kiss, a little shocked at her own behavior she brought a finger up to her lips. Only to have her hand pulled away and feeling his lips pressed against hers once again. This time, it was soft, not forced and hard. He dropped her hand and his hands went to rest on her waist, as her moved to come together behind his neck. They shared small kisses before she slowly slid her tongue into his mouth, massage his with her own.
At this moment Ginny wasn't sure how much longer they had in this closet but hoped it was at least a little while longer. Draco pulled away from the kiss, a smirk on his lips, "Maybe I was wrong."
Ginny had a proud look on her face, which was not able to be seen through the darkness. "Malfoy admitted he was wrong? That's a first." She chuckled softly as she leaned forward to kiss him again, only to jump as the door suddenly swung open.
Blaise was grinning from ear to ear, "Just call me cupid." He said, moving out the way so they could exit the closet. Draco bent down to pick up his wan, looking at Ginny who averted her gaze back to him. He smiled at her and she nodded.
"Come back a little while later," Draco winked at his friend before closing the closet door yet again, pulling Ginny towards him.
Blaise knocked on the door, "You know that's not what was supposed to happen. That's not even how you play the game. Are you two even listening to me?" He pressed his ear to the door and could only hear the sounds of people snogging. Shivering he turned around, "At least he'll be off my case about finding a girl," he said out loud as he made his was back down to the Slytherin Common room, expecting Draco to tell him all that happened when he arrived later. Whenever later would be…with those two in that closet together? Who knows.
