The party in Gryffindor Tower started as soon as Ron returned from the Hospital Wing. Everyone was delighted that Harry had caught the snitch, but mostly the festivities were in honor of Ron being ok and classes being canceled. About an hour after celebrating had begun, Ginny managed to sneak out of the portrait hole without being seen. She was heading towards the owlery to send Draco a note when a hand clamped over her mouth and dragged her into an empty classroom.
Wrenching the hand away, Ginny whirled around to face her assailant. Instead of an attacker, however, she came face to face with the floating head of Draco Malfoy. "Draco," Ginny gasped, her hand clutching her throat. "Don't do that. You almost gave me a heart attack. Oh for God's sake, where's the rest of you?" She gestured to his floating head.
"It's an Invisibility Cloak," Draco said theatrically removing the cloak from around his shoulders. "Surely you didn't think Potter was the one with nifty gadgets in this castle."
Smiling, Ginny wrapped an arm around Draco's neck. Standing on tiptoes she whispered in his ear, "Don't you ever sneak up on me again Malfoy." Then using her free hand she smacked him in the back of the head.
"Hey," Draco exclaimed, rubbing his now sore head. "Watch the hair will ya? Inconsiderate lil' Weasel."
"Ok Sparky, I'm gonna let that comment slide, but just this once. And just for the record, I like your hair minus the considerable amounts of gel." Ginny leaned against the teacher's desk. "Now what plans do you have up that cute Slytherin sleeve of yours?"
Grabbing her hand, Draco pulled her away from the desk. He then settled the invisibility cloak around the two of them. "I was thinking a nice romantic walk around the lake. What do you say?"
Sticking out her tongue, Ginny made a raspberry sound. At the hurt look on Draco's face she giggled, "Just kidding. A stroll around the lake with you sounds like Heaven."
Opening the door Draco led her out into the hall. They slowly made their way down the many staircases to the front doors. Once outside, they emerged from underneath the cloak and walked along the lake hand in hand. The moon was shining so brightly, that Draco didn't notice the mischievous glint that shown in Ginny's eyes. He was taken completely off guard when Ginny pushed him into the icy lake.
"WEASELY," He bellowed as he sputtered to the surface. Regaining his footing on the sandy bottom Draco flipped his wet hair out of his eyes and glared at Ginny. "Woman, what in Merlin's name was that for?"
A smirk to rival Draco's appeared on her face. "I decided that I wasn't going to let the earlier comment of 'Weasel' slide after all. Oh, and you really do look so much cuter with out all of that gel in your hair."
Draco began to splash his way to the shore, and threateningly stalked toward Ginny. "Oh no," Ginny said dodging his attempts to grab her. "I've already had my bath for the day thank you very much."
Lifting his head Draco sniffed the air. "I think you missed a spot. I can smell that Gryffindor stench quite strongly." With a flick of his wrist, Draco sent Ginny's feet flying from underneath her. Draco ran over and scooped her up in his arms, pinning her hands to her side. "You aren't freezing me this time Princess," He said as he carried her towards the arctic water.
"If you insist on using a pet name, please pick one and stick to it," Ginny whined.
Finally reaching the lake shore Draco bent over low and whispered in Ginny's ear, "You might want to hold your breath darlin'." And he threw her into the sparkling water.
Ginny kicked her way to the surface, her teeth chattering. "I admit *click click click* I might *click click* have deserved that," Stepping out of the water she went immediately into Draco's waiting arms. "But why *click click* did you have to get *click click click* me all wet?" She whined some more.
Chuckling softly Draco drew the invisibility cloak around them once more. "I had to think of some way to get those cloths off of you." This comment earned him an elbow in the ribs. "*grunt* what I meant to say was, at least this way I get to warm you up."
"That's much better," Ginny said as she continued to shiver in his arms. Entering the castle once more Draco led Ginny down into the dungeons towards his prefect rooms. They had just descended the stairs and were chatting quietly when they heard footsteps.
"Who's down here?" Filch asked as he turned the corner. Ginny instinctively raised her hand and froze Filch in the process.
"I knew there was a reason I kept you around," Draco chuckled as they made their way around Filch's still form. Once around the corner, Ginny unfroze him, just in case someone were to happen upon his froze self. Finally they were inside Draco's private rooms, and he was stoking a roaring fire.
Handing her a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt Draco gestured toward the bathroom. "You can take a quick shower to warm up in you want to." Nodding her head, Ginny took the clothes and stepped into his private bath.
When Ginny emerged from the bathroom she found her clothes spread out in front of the fire to dry. Draco was propped up against his head board reading a book. Stepping closer to the bed Ginny got a better look at the boy. He wasn't wearing anything but a pair of silk pajama bottoms. 'Nothing but the best for a Malfoy,' Ginny thought. 'But oh do those silk pants do his body good.'
Draco cleared his throat, shattering Ginny's passion induced thoughts. Closing his book, he looked up to meet Ginny's eyes. "Have I ever told you how incredibly fine you look in Slytherin colors?"
Looking at herself in the mirror Ginny finally noticed that the t-shirt she was wearing was Slytherin green. A silver snake was stitched over the left breast with the word 'Seeker' underneath it.
"Well," Ginny replied as she hopped on the bed. "All you had to do was ask and I would have told you green was one of my favorite colors.
As for you mister," She continued as she cuddled up next to his side. "Students throughout Hogwarts will be seeing you through Gryffindor red and gold colored glasses after that courageous stunt you pulled saving," Ginny paused. "What was his name again?" A big grin formed across her face.
Draco's jaw clinched, "Weasely," he ground out. Then Draco shrugged. "I have no bloody idea why I saved his stupid arse. I guess for a minute I thought it would get me laid by that gorgeous sister of his, but now that I think about it I've come to realize she can be quite the bossy little hag."
For his comment, Ginny pinched him in his side. "Not to mention she has the worst damn temper I've ever seen, bloody red head." Ginny reached out to pinch him again but he caught her hands. "Nuh uh, I can't have you marring my beautiful flesh with ugly bruises now can I? You just wait right here and make yourself at home while I go get cleaned up." Leaning forward, Draco pressed a quick kiss to her lips before he headed to the bathroom.
Draco was only gone for a short while, but when he entered his bedroom once more he found Ginny soundly asleep on his bed. 'She looks so peaceful when she's asleep,' Draco thought. 'Like a doll.' At that moment, a not so gentle snore issued from Ginny's closed lips. "A doll with a sinus problem," Draco muttered. 'I should put a pillow under her head, I think that helps.' Grabbing one of his extra pillows, Draco propped Ginny's head up with it.
This caused Ginny to roll further onto her back and made her snores increase in volume. "Much worse," Draco observed. "Interesting," (From the movie: Two Weeks Notice.) He mumbled as he climbed into to bed with her. Wrapping his arms around Ginny, Draco pulled her securely against his chest. Mumbling in her sleep, Ginny rolled over and snuggled closer to Draco. Her snoring finally ceased and the two young wizards drifted off to sleep.
