Fire and Ice

Confused and Amused

An excited chatter woke Draco and Ginny with a start.

Behind the closed, burgundy curtains, they saw moving silhouettes of Ginny's roommates, talking loudly as they dressed for the day. 

"...and then he tried to stick it in my.."

"-NO! That's so-"

"I know! But then he-..."

"How was your night, 'Varti?"

"...I don't kiss and tell my beauties..."

A chorus of hysterical laughter rang through Draco's head. He groaned, before Ginny pressed her palm against his mouth. Unfortunately, the girls heard it. Fortunately, they thought it was Ginny.

"Gin?"

"Ginny, wake up!"

"Lessons start in ten minutes!"

"Don't make me open your curtains!"

The look of horror on Draco's face was almost comical.

"NO!" Ginny yelled. "I'll get up in a sec, leave me be!"

A chorus of laughs and okay's and whatever's before they resumed their story telling.

Ginny stared at Draco and bit her lips. What are we gonna do?! her eyes said to him.

Why are you asking me? his expression replied, amused and confused.

He Summoned his wand without speaking, and waved it in the air, Silencing the bed.

"Damn it!" Ginny muttered, knowing that her roommates couldn't hear her. "Class starts in  less than ten minutes!"

She ripped off the sheets, revealing her voluptuous breasts and toned stomach and she slung on her robes.

"Quit staring," she snapped, as Draco leaned on his elbows to enjoy the view. He smirked.

"Calm down," he said in a less-than-calming voice. "We've got loads of time."

"Well you have," Ginny growled as she reached for her mirror. "You don't have to do your hair, make yourself up, try to-"

"You already look beautiful." Draco replied quietly.

"Wha...at?" Ginny stuttered, dropping her hairbrush onto Draco's leg. Draco, surprised at his bold honestly, shrugged.

"You do." he said, with more power in his voice.

Feeling her cheeks redden, Ginny smiled, "Thank you."

"No problem," he replied, sitting up and reaching for his robes. As they dressed silently in a mutual partnership, The cheerful blabber of her roommates died down until just the two of them were left in the dormitory.

Ginny slung open the curtains and stepped gracefully off the bed.

"Come on. No breakfast, no time. We need to sneak you out."

"Leave that to me," Draco said smoothly, kissing Ginny's lips lightly before walking past her and out of the chamber.

"Don't get caught!" she called after him.

He saluted without turning, disappearing down the stairs.

"Locker rooms, nine!" he replied.

"It's a date," she murmured, and heard him chuckle softly.

Smiling so widely that her cheeks hurt, Ginny grabbed her books and headed out after him.
