Chapter 6: " Denial and Right Decisions."

The sun rays poked through the curtain's over Ginny's window and danced upon her face causing her to scrunch up her face in distaste. She groaned and turned over to not be bothered by them. She then felt someone's steady breath across her face.

"MMM. Draco! Breathe the other way." she mumbled. Then realizing what she had said opened her eyes immediately.

Sure enough there was Draco. His blonde hair over his eyes, his arm around her waist. His gray eyes looking at her and his lips forming a smirk.

"Sorry, just trying to stay alive." he said.

"Oh Merlin! What have we done!" Ginny said grasping the sheets closer to her chest.

"A very natural thing. By the way, there's no point in doing that. I saw a lot of you last night." he said seductively and leaned in to kiss her.

"No! We cannot do this! We are colleagues, we're professionals. This will…" she said getting out of bed and pulling the sheets around her naked body. This left Draco with only one blanket draped across his hip.

Ginny couldn't help but gaze at his extraordinary physique. Nice arms, back, chest, abs…other things…

Draco caught her glances and smirked even more. He got up letting the blanket fall. Ginny quickly turned around mouthing Oh my god as she did.

She felt Draco's arms around her and him kissing her bare shoulder. "Now Ginny, you know as well as I do, that you want this. We're grown adults, with urges just like everyone else." he whispered in her ear. Ginny shivered.

"What will everyone say… No. I am not considering this. Get out now!" Ginny said.

Draco chuckled. "I don't believe you." he said stepping back. Ginny then felt very cold without his warm body around her. She then shook her head.

"I don't care if you believe me or not. I want you out." Ginny said.

"Why won't you turn around?" he asked.

"Because…" she said.

"Because what?" he asked amusement in his voice.

"Your naked." she said. Draco let out a hearty laugh.

"With due respect love, you did see me entirely naked last night. And you were not complaining and I wasn't either, believe me." he said beginning to pull the sheet away from her.

"No! Draco! Leave please! Right now." she said.

Draco sighed. "Fine keep being in denial, Ginny. I'll see you at work." he said. She heard some rustling behind her and then heard a pop and knew he was gone.

Ginny turned back and sat down on her bed. All the memories of last night flooding her. She had to admit, last night was amazing. She could now say that Draco was the best sex she had ever had. Though she did not want to get too close to him. She was a changed woman. She had a steady and wonderful job and she didn't want to ruin it all by having a relationship. She stood up reassuring herself she had done the right thing.

*********************

"I knew it." Hermione said.

"You did not!" Ginny replied stirring her tea.

"I did so. There was sexual tension between you two. I could feel it." Hermione said.

Hermione and Ginny were having lunch inside Ginny's office. Ginny had invited her to talk further about what had happened the night before after Hermione begged her all morning.

"Oh please! Your just focusing on you and Harry." Ginny said taking a bite of her sandwich.

"Oh hush up. I am not even focusing on Harry anymore. Blaise is all I see." Hermione said smiling to herself.

"Oh lord…Your gone." Ginny said rolling her eyes.

Hermione tossed her napkin at her. "He's making me very happy!" she replied.

Ginny laughed. "I know I'm just happy for you." she said crumbling the paper of her sandwich.

"Well, I need to go. Have some paperwork to do." Hermione said standing up.

"As usual." Ginny said standing up as well. "I'll see you tonight." They hugged and Hermione apparated.

Ginny sat down in her leather armchair and began to go through patient records. She heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." she called. She heard the door open. She looked up and saw Draco. She frowned.

"Yes." she said.

"I have Sam's record's. You asked for them." he said looking at her with a certain glint in his eye.

"Right thank you." she said stepping from behind her desk and taking a hold of the file.

Her hands brushed Draco's and for some reason it sent a shock through her body. She looked at him. He had on his white lab coat and his hair was in his eyes, as was usual. His expression was one of concentration and dare she say it he looked so good!

He turned to leave. She could see his nice ass in the slacks he wore. She then began to feel hot. She began to fan herself. She knew she was going to regret it and before she knew it she was calling his name.

"Draco."

He turned. "Yes." he said his face expressionless.

"I…I have a question about this. Could you come over here." she said trying to maintain a normal tone. He nodded and walked over to her.

Then she did it. She attacked him. Kissing him savagely, her hands on his face. The file fell to the floor as he moaned and laid her on the desk. Knocking a quill holder and papers down.

"Mm… Draco." she said.

"Ginny." he responded kissing her neck. Her eyes began to roll to the back of her head.

"Oh…Draco." she murmured.

"Oh Ginny." he said lifting her leg to wrap it around his waist.

She then looked towards the door and screamed.

"Sam!" she shouted shoving Draco off of her.

Draco turned to see Sam standing their gawking at them.

"Miss…Ginny, Mr. Draco." he said looking confused.

"Sam… What are you doing here." Ginny said straightening her skirt and hair and walking towards him.

"Yes, Sam. What are you doing here." Draco said trying to maintain his composure.

"My mum and dad are going to take me home today. I wanted to say bye before we left." he said still looking at them quizzically.

"Oh Sam! That was very sweet of you." Ginny said giving him a hug. Draco ruffled his hair and smiled.

"Miss. Ginny. Mr. Draco….what were you doing." Sam asked tilting his head to the side.

Draco and Ginny froze. They both looked at each other. Ginny opened her mouth.

"Well I had a tooth ache." she said turning to Sam.

"Yes, she had a tooth ache and I was checking it for her." Draco said nodding his head.

Sam stood there. Looking at them uneasily.

"Are you ok then…Miss. Ginny?" Sam asked.

"Yes, well no, Mr. Draco is going to have to come back and examine my mouth some more before I can feel full relief." Ginny said looking to Draco.

Draco eyes widened a bit and he took a deep breath.

"Yes, so I'm going to have to walk you back to your parents, Sam." Draco said standing next to him.

"Bye Sam." Ginny said giving him one last hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye Miss Ginny." Sam said. Draco took a hold of his hand, gave Ginny a very suggestive look and walked Sam down the hall.

Ginny closed the door behind her and leaned against it.

"Oh lord, I'm the one gone. What am I going to do…I guess I could continue this. No feelings will have to be involved…So I won't be that distracted at work. Yes! Excellent! I can have all the fun I want without giving my heart to him. Oh shut up Ginny! You know that's not true. Your already head over heels and you don't know why." Ginny said sighing.

She then sat down in her chair again and continued her work.

**************************

"So I told Mr. Lunerhand if he was not going to believe me about the periwinkle spotted turkeygullers he could get right out of my office and consider himself fired!" Luna said as she chopped some onions.

She was in Ron's flat helping him cook dinner.

"You tell him honey." Ron said kissing the side of her head tenderly.

"I did! I could write that article myself! I know more about them. I was once kidnapped by a flock of them when I was 3 ½!" Luna said nodding and adding the onions to the meat.

Ron looked at her, raising his eyebrow and then shook his head. He took her face in his hands and kissed her.

"I love you!" he said and began to stir the noodles.

"I know. I love you to." she said. They both heard a pop in the living room.

"Oh hi Ginny!" Luna said smiling.

"Hey, I'm here to pick up the presents for the Christmas tree at the Burrow." Ginny said.

"Right let me get them." Ron said and jogged to his room.

"You have a hickey on your neck." Luna replied simply.

"What!" Ginny exclaimed. She looked at herself in the mirror on the wall. Sure enough there was a hug red spot on the side of her neck. She quickly did a spell and it disappeared.

"I know you had sex with Draco." Luna said smiling.

"Well…" Ginny said a bit embarrassed.

"I know you just finished having sex now to." she said sitting down on the sofa and twiddling her thumbs.

"How on earth would you know!?" Ginny said her eyes widening.

"Because the way you look. You have this aura about you. Every person does. Your aura gives off a red glow, meaning you just had sex." Luna said standing up and walking around Ginny, studying her and nodding.

Ginny looked around, trying to see what she was talking about and realized she was trying to figure out something only Luna could see.

"Luna stop doing that, your making me nervous." Ginny said.

Then Luna grabbed her head and put her forehead against hers. She had her eyes closed, as if concentrating.

"Most likely on top of your desk at work." Luna said letting go.

Ginny was taken aback. She opened her mouth to reply but Ron came in with the presents.

"All right, I think these are all of them." Ron said setting them down.

"Oh wait! I have one to! For Bill and Fleur's baby" Luna said. She then went behind the couch and pulled out a wrapped box.

"Luna, you didn't tell me you got a present for their baby." Ron said giving Luna a look. "That's why all the presents say from you and me."

" Well it was last minute!" Luna said. Then the box shook.

"Why did the box shake?" Ron said looking worried.

"Oh it's alive!" Luna said brightly.

"Alive!?" Ginny said a bit scared.

"Luna, what is it." Ron said in a stern manner.

"A hairless pygmy puff!" Luna said grinning.

"A Hair… a hairless pygmy puff Luna!" Ron exclaimed.

"Yes, Fred and George said it would be a fantastic present!" Luna said.

"There is no such thing as a hairless pygmy puff." Ron said rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, there is. I looked at it before I bought it." Luna said.

"How can it be a pygmy puff if there's no….no….puff!" Ron said flailing his arms everywhere.

"I'll show you." Luna said and lifted the lid. They all peered inside.

"Luna, that's a hairless rat." Ginny said calmly with a apathetic look.

"This is what you get for listening to Fred and George. They manipulate you into buying this crap." Ron said running a hand through his hair.

"Oh no! This isn't a hairless pygmy puff or rat!" Luna said smacking her forehead.

"It is a hairless ra…" Ron said.

"It's a harnar!" Luna said excitedly.

"A what!" Ron exclaimed.

"I'm going to go. I'll see you tomorrow at the burrow you guys, for Christmas." Ginny said shaking her head. She took the presents and apparated to the Burrow.

************************

"Blaise!" Hermione giggled. She was kissing Blaise on the couch. It was dark in the room and she was laying on her back.

"What, I'm not doing anything bad." Blaise said grinning.

"What if Ginny comes in." she whispered as Blaise began to kiss her neck.

"She can walk to her room." he mumbled against her skin.

Then they heard a pop.

"Look, Hermione I know I've been a real jerk but…" a voice began.

Hermione looked to see Harry.

"Harry!" Hermione said. Blaise got off of her and scowled at Harry.

"Oh, did I interrupt something." Harry said in a bitter tone.

"Yes, you did. Now if you could please leave." Blaise said.

"Blaise. What do you need Harry." Hermione said standing up and looking at him sternly.

"I wanted to apologize. But it seems it's a bad time." Harry said glaring at Blaise.

Blaise rolled his eyes and sat back against the couch.

"Yes, Harry, it is. Now can you please leave." she said and turned around to head back to the couch.

"Wait, Hermione. Can…can I please talk to you for one minute?" he said in a desperate tone.

Hermione turned and saw his face. She sighed and nodded. They walked outside.

"What is it Harry." she said.

"What were you two doing in there?" he asked.

"Harry!" she said outraged. Her eyes widened.

"What?" he asked.

"How dare you ask me something like that!" she said her eyes wide.

"Well, I mean he looked like he was attacking you." Harry said nodding his head.

Hermione stared at him. "Harry…I think you've gotten hit one too many times in the head by bludgers." she said rolling her eyes.

"It was only 6 times Hermione!" Harry said.

"We were kissing Harry. You know, what you and Jacklyn do…sadly." Hermione said giving him a fake smile.

"Why?!" Harry said getting a bit upset.

"Because I'm a estrogen driven woman Harry. I get urges to, just like you." she said sardonically.

"But…but I don't want you to…." Harry started.

"Don't want me to what? Kiss. Have sex? Just in case you didn't know Harry, I'm a grown woman. I can make my own decisions and I certainly do not need your approval." Hermione cried. Harry stared at her for a bit.

"I just…" he said trailing off.

"Harry, if you just realized something about our relationship, it's a little too late to do anything about it. I'm with Blaise now. You, with Jacklyn. I'm sorry." Hermione said and turned to open the door.

"Wait…" Harry called. Hermione turned around. Harry wanted to say something, but he couldn't figure out what exactly it was.

"I'm sure Jacklyn's waiting for you at home Harry." Hermione said softly, then entered the house.

Harry stood outside of the house for a few moments. Looking at the closed door. He then shook his head. He turned to leave.

******************

The thunder roared outside as the rain flew at the windows in sheets.

"Oh, William!" Jacklyn giggled. She was laying in her and Harry's bed with William. He was kissing down her neck, insinuating that he wanted another round with her.

She giggled some more and let him climb on top of her. She moaned as he nibbled her ear. She then saw something move out of the corner of her eye. She gasped as she saw Harry standing in the doorway dripping wet.

His black hair was hung in front of his face. His glasses still had rain drops on them. His dark jeans and blacks shirt clung to his body. His eyes were looking at Jacklyn and William menacingly.

"Get out." he said in a little above a whisper.

"Harry darling!" Jacklyn said getting out bed quickly with a sheet wrapped around her body.

"GET OUT!" Harry yelled. Jacklyn jumped back. William grabbed his clothes and quickly apparated.

"Harry, what you just saw…" Jacklyn began.

"What I just saw! What I just witnessed was my fiancé acting like a complete whore! Cheating on me! And to think, I ignored everyone's accusations. Even my best friends! Even the woman I lo…I care for! Just to be proven wrong by you." Harry yelled.

"Harry please…" Jacklyn said.

"I want you out of my house with all your shit in less than a half hour!" Harry said eerily clam. Jacklyn opened her mouth. He turned to leave again. Then stopped. "And if you aren't out by then I'm calling the ministry." He then continued to walk.
