Chapter Twenty – Seven ~ Yours or Mine?

The rest of dinner went by smoothly; the two of them talking about nothing and everything, except the kiss. She didn’t think they ever would, really. But it felt nice to just talk. What helped a lot was that Ginny simply thought of Draco as any other friend but she couldn’t get over the fact that Draco Malfoy was definitely better looking than any of her friends…ever.

She watched him while they talked and Merlin save her, she just couldn’t seem to be able to stop looking him in the eyes; those stone, cold beautiful gray eyes of his. She could drown in them and that’s why she tried her damn hardest not to. She couldn’t afford to just sit around and drown on them.

Dinner finally finished and Ginny stood, stretching much like a cat would. Draco’s breath caught in his throat as he watched her. She could drive any man to his grave; Scar head is a bloody idiot, he thought as his body tightened with desire. When he was around her, it was always like this and it felt like no matter what he did, he could never quench it. Regardless of the women he tried to…use to forget Ginny Weasley, it seemed like Merlin had other plans.

“Dinner was amazing, Draco, thank you.” Ginny smiled happily.

Draco nodded as he stood and grabbed her arm, pulling her to him. “Let’s apparated to Diagon Alley, I’ll walk you home.”

Ginny sighed; she didn’t want this night to end. Just like she didn’t want to be only his friend but damn if he didn’t make it easy. She wanted him, so bad that she ached for him.

“No, let’s stay here,” she wanted to say but instead said, “sure, it’s a lovely night.”

They left his apartment and apparated right back to an apparition area then walked the last few feet to the Leaky Cauldron. As they entered Diagon Alley, Ginny wrapped her cloak tighter around herself. Draco then casually wrapped her arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

For warmth only; Draco told himself but truly, he didn’t even believe it.

Ginny smiled a tad bit and hid it. Afraid of what Draco would say if he saw it.

They made their way down Diagon Alley when Ginny finally recognized the couple walking a few feet in front of them; she instantly stiffens, causing Draco to stumble slightly. And when he looked at her, he immediately grew concerned.

Her expression was neutral but it was her eyes, her chocolate brown eyes that concerned him. They were angry, fiercely angry.

Immediately her hand was clenching her wand and she was lifting it. If it wasn’t for his inhuman speed she would have killed the two people in front of them; and he knew, knew deep inside that that was what she had been planning to do.

“Red, you know you can only do that if it’s an assignment.” He whispered in her ear, trying to soothe her.

Her eyes instantly shot up to him and she relaxed.

“Potter sure has some bloody guts to walk so freely with that Mud – ah, bollocks, Granger.” Draco said which caused the corner of Ginny’s lips to tilt up.

She was relaxed, feeling better.

“They do seem to have a death wish,” Ginny replied.

“That’s only because they don’t know what you can do.” He agreed and maneuvered them down another path so that they couldn’t see Harry Potter and Hermione Granger walking down Diagon Alley as if they didn’t have a care in the world, hold hands and looking as if they were madly in love.
