You know I love this story and I love you more because of your super-quick updates. You win 1500 brownie points for keeping us happy ^_^
Every chapter keeps getting more and more interesting. And I love the way you have written Draco...a little awkward , impulsive and clueless about women. Usually, we read super suave Draco who can charm the knickers off any woman before you can say 'Expelliarmus' . So it's nice to see this cute, awkward version of Draco. And it's ok, I won't kill you for this ending,coz this is Draco and Ginny we are talking about...it has to be a lil messed up,right?

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm very glad you like it! And you're so right about Draco and Ginny being a little messed up by default lol!

Draco was a lot closer than she’d expected him to be. Before she could react and take a step back, he grabbed her upper arms and covered her mouth with his.

Ginny stiffened in surprise. He was kissing her! She ought to knee him and then finish him off with a few creative hexes. How dare he presume to do that! Why was he doing that? Then her body began to take over and rational thought ceased to function. Every single nerve was on high alert and she was positively on fire everywhere his skin touched hers.

The kiss was firm and insistent, but not in a cruel way. It was almost as if he was trying to convince her to give in. And very slowly, she did. Her eyelids fluttered closed and she brought her hands up to his shoulders. She thought she might have intended to push him away, but she didn’t. She didn't pull him any closer, either. Just touched him.

Draco moved his lips, trying to coax a response out of her, and against her will, she sighed and relaxed against him. She slipped one hand around to the back of his neck and the other into his hair. As soon as she did this, Draco relaxed as well. He slid one hand down her arm and pressed it to the small of her back, encouraging her closer. With his thumb, he started rubbing small circles on her shoulder.

Ginny’s heart beat wildly as the kiss filled with passion. She tilted her head to a better angle and moved her lips against his. Her nose filled with the smell of him and her skin with the feel of him. She couldn’t identify what he smelled like, but it was absolutely perfect for him and a rather intoxicating scent.

She felt his tongue brush across the seam of her lips then and didn’t hesitate to open them to him. He swept through her mouth until she met him with her own tongue. He tasted like gingerbread from the potion he’d just taken. Ginny hadn’t realized how absolutely delicious that flavour was until that moment.

Draco wrapped both arms around her and pulled her flush against his body. Heat flooded from the top of her head, down to her toes, and Ginny moaned into his mouth. She returned his kiss as the blood pounded through her veins. How long this went on, neither knew for sure. But when they pulled apart because of a mutual need for oxygen their eyes were glassy and their breathing was heavy and erratic.

Ginny blinked several times before she could think well enough to say, “You sure don’t waste any time talking, do you?”

Draco gave her a wobbly smirk and replied, “What can I say? I’m a man of few words.” Then he leaned down and pressed a trail of kisses from the corner of her mouth to her neck.

Ginny’s brain suddenly slid into focus, even as her legs began to melt out from under her. This was Draco Malfoy! What was she thinking, kissing him and liking it? This was far too sudden. Why were her fingers knotting in his silky smooth hair? Pushing away from him, Ginny mumbled, “No. I’m… I shouldn’t have…” she turned and fled the room as quickly as her feet could carry her. She didn’t hear Draco calling her name from behind her or slam his hand into the wall as he berated himself for moving too fast and ruining everything.



.....*sighs* I would love to say something about this, but I can't. You see, I've been imagining myself in Ginny's place, and I still feel out of breath from that amazing kiss that Draco just bestowed on me (/Ginny). And then, of course, I ran out of the room and up into my room as fast as I could, so my lack of oxygen could be explained that way too, I supposed. AWESOME kiss scene. I'm sure I'll come to my senses soon. If it were up to me, I would update this next chapter as follows.

Ginny had just barely ran out of the room when she ran into a wall, which immediately cleared her senses.

"Stupid girl!" she breathed, banging her head on the wall multiple times so that the pictures on the walls all clung to their frames in terror. "Shouldn't have ran away...damn it...."

Draco had meanwhile chased her out of the room. "What's with all the banging?" he asked sporting a suspiciously red hand that had seemed to have just taken the brunt of his anger. Ginny gaped at him. His clothes had suddenly all just mysteriously...vanished. And he was wet. Very wet, allowing water to flow down the defined lines of his eight-pack.

Oh Merlin. No, Ginny, you will not....

"Oh, Draco," Ginny said in a breathy voice, and before she could stop herself, had launched herself at Draco, sending the two of them toppling to the ground. She furiously attacked him in a flurry of passion, and he returned her enthusiasm. She was so far gone into the kiss, that she hadn't even noticed that her clothes had somehow vanished too, and that she was lying on top of a very naked Draco Malfoy.

"Wait, Ginny," Draco said, detaching himself for a moment, and conjuring up a ring box out of nowhere. "Somehow, I found this Portkey to take us to the Bahamas for a weekend, where we will sip fruity little drinks and make endless love on beaches."

"Oh Draco, you think of everything don't you," Ginny giggled in an un-Ginny-like manner.

He smirked and nodded, "I do." And the two were gone.

...mhmmm. Okay, maybe it won't be like that. But it would be funny if that happened. Anyways, good job on the long-awaited D/G lip action, and please update soon!

XOXO, JT

once again, wonderful! as i said before, keep up the good work...the pacing is perfect and i blame you not at all for sending her running from the room. it would have been out of character for anything else. good job! i'm hoping for a knock-down drag-out yelling fight that ends with massive snogs and declarations of love. but if that's not what you had in mind, i'm sure it will be lovely nonetheless! looking forward to the next installation -

This chapter had me smiling it was so sweet. From Draco asking Ginny-'Or did you come to have your wicked way with me while you thought I was defenseless?'; to him reading her note like it was some sort of secret love letter; he asked about Ron; they flirted
like mad throughout the chapter and then
they kissed-and it was sweet and passionate and wonderful. :D I'm kind of pretending the part with her running away and then him berating himself for moving too fast didn't happen.

Thanks so much for the quick updates.

And that’s when he remembered Ginny. She had sat on his bed, stroking his hair and talking with him. He could vaguely recall curling himself around her, but he’d been on the verge of sleep at the time.

YAY!
He remembered!
I was so scared you were going to make him forget, or remember just a body and not even sure who it was.
And then he remembers and he refers to her as Ginny, plus he misses a body by his side when he wakes up and not just any body, but HEr body, he misses HER!
=D
I loved that!
=DDD



Hehehe
Loved that and he's absolutely right!
Finger crossing is VERY unbecoming, nearly as much as doing that stuff a cheerleader tells you to[getting up, putting your hands up, clapping and all that].


He was starting to get a little tired of waiting and it was getting harder to keep from just grabbing her and snogging her senseless.

YES!
Grab her!
Push her up against a wall!
Throw her on the table!
SNog her senseless until she forgets her name!
=DD


Maybe he should talk to her and tell her that he’d fallen in love with her and hope for the best. What was the worst that could happen?

NOOO!!!
Please don't!
Not only it's akward but everytime someone asks sth like "What's the worst that could happen?" somethign TERRIBLE happens!

His Malfoy pride wouldn’t allow him to just open up and tell her.
And i thank God for that...and of course by God i mean you seeing as you control every aspect of their lifes...except some of their talks which i know you just get from your dungeon where you keep Draco, Gin and Blaise locked up...



“Oh, you’re up,” Ginny said with a small blush. “Er… how’s your migraine?”
Draco smirked. “The migraine is just fine, thank you. My head, on the other hand, doesn’t feel so good.”
Ginny huffed and came over to check his temperature. “Smart arse,” she mumbled.

*Snorts*
I just love this kind of banter!
It's simply brilliant and so...NATURAL!
AMAZING!
=D


“So, why are you about so early? You obviously didn’t come to see me as you were surprised to find me awake.” His smile turned into a slightly evil grin. “Or did you come to have your wicked way with me while you thought I was defenseless?” He waggled his eyebrows and made a show of looking her up and down.
“A note?” he asked, a strange swell of hope blossoming in his chest. “Why could you possibly want to leave a note for me?”

Draco broke the seal and flipped open the short message. Ginny glowered at him as he began to read. “‘Draco…’ oh, I like it already! ‘I have to go out this morning, but I won’t be gone long. I left a potion for you…’ how sweet!”

WOW!
WHen did he became such a boy?
And more importantly how is he keeping his stomch from dropping?
Seriously, how can he pull off the gut to act so childishly and playfull around her when he knows he's inlove with her but he's not sure she feels the same way about him?
I think that right there proves the slytherin in him.
It's pure acting and even cynism.
THAT's the proof he was in the right house back in Hogwarts.



I loved that he smelled the potion!
ALthough i don't think the smell shows the flavor because it's just flavoring, therefore no smell...Which provides Gin a chance to pull a prank on him, making him take a healthy gulp of the potion and regretting it as soon as it hits the back of his troath.



“Ginny.” Her first name; not Weasel, or Weasley, or any of the other names he had for her.
Squeezing her eyes shut against the onslaught of emotions those two syllables had caused, Ginny paused. She took a deep breath and turned back around, opening her eyes again. What happened next surprised her more than anything ever had.
Draco was a lot closer than she’d expected him to be. Before she could react and take a step back, he grabbed her upper arms and covered her mouth with his.
Ginny stiffened in surprise. He was kissing her!

Not breathing!
NOt breathing!
Not breathing!
=OOOO


She ought to knee him and then finish him off with a few creative hexes. How dare he presume to do that! Why was he doing that?

That's a complete IRRATIONAL thought!
She ought to grab him and not let him go even if he pushes her away!




The kiss was firm and insistent, but not in a cruel way. It was almost as if he was trying to convince her to give in. And very slowly, she did.

Of course she gave in!
SHe's not a completely stupid creature, nor is she THAT crazy!

Draco moved his lips, trying to coax a response out of her, and against her will, she sighed and relaxed against him. She slipped one hand around to the back of his neck and the other into his hair

Oh yeah, completely against her will!
i can't imagine why someone would want to kiss and hold Draco Malfoy!
Plus, it's the second time in less than 24 hours that she gets to run her hands through his hair.


As soon as she did this, Draco relaxed as well. He slid one hand down her arm and pressed it to the small of her back, encouraging her closer. With his thumb, he started rubbing small circles on her_ _ _ _.

I was really hoping he would be drawing the circles to her hip or lower back, it feels wonderful plus it's much more intimate!
=)




Ginny’s heart beat wildly as the kiss filled with passion. She tilted her head to a better angle and moved her lips against his. Her nose filled with the smell of him and her skin with the feel of him. She couldn’t identify what he smelled like, but it was absolutely perfect for him and a rather intoxicating scent.

FINALLY!!!
i thought she was just gonna stay there and wait for him to finish!
Plus, she had a normal reaction...although a slap would be a normal reaction as wel...


She felt his tongue brush across the seam of her lips then and didn’t hesitate to open them to him.
He swept through her mouth until she met him with her own tongue. He tasted like gingerbread from the potion he’d just taken. Ginny hadn’t realized how absolutely delicious that flavour was until that moment.

He could taste like earwax and it would still be wonderful to kiss him!
While kissing him , every smell, taste and feel just don't matter.




Ginny blinked several times before she could think well enough to say, “You sure don’t waste any time talking, do you?”

I totally understand why Draco got all cute and playful with her, but having her do it...it just blows me away!
=O


Then he leaned down and pressed a trail of kisses from the corner of her mouth to her neck.

MELTING!
MELTING!
MELTING!
THAT is so so hot...it's even better than the kiss itself.


Ginny’s brain suddenly slid into focus, even as her legs began to melt out from under her.
AS they very well should as even mine are doing right now.


This was Draco Malfoy! What was she thinking, kissing him and liking it? This was far too sudden. Why were her fingers knotting in his silky smooth hair? Pushing away from him, Ginny mumbled, “No. I’m… I shouldn’t have…” she turned and fled the room as quickly as her feet could carry her.

She's MENTAL!!!
I thought Ron was the crazy one![by the way, nice touch with him thinking Harry was his brother =)]
She has gone crazy!
=O


She didn’t hear Draco calling her name from behind her or slam his hand into the wall as he berated himself for moving too fast and ruining everything.

POOR DRACO!!!
He can't catch a break!
Blaise's methods don't work, his methods don't work...The poor guy is gonna go insane!
=O
Oh poor dear!
Gin really gives him grief!





I would like to dedicate this chapter to Manu, my most faithful and most enthusiastic reviewer, and the one who finally convinced me to give up the other fanfic site that was slowing down my updates over here. Love you, friend!

=DDD
I got the kiss chapter!
I'm so happy!
I was plastering a HUGE smile when i read this and my sister and mum think i have some sort of mental problem seeing as i had JUST began reading, but this made me so so happy!
THANK you so much for this!
=D

I loved the kiss, it was so so great, plus i really loved how she responded[even the way she ran away was perfect and brilliant and so so great].
The neck kisses?
THat's just SO hot!
i LOOOOVE neck kisses, they are so wonderful, so so great, i loved them!
i just love all over the face kisses during a full on mouth kiss, it's just brilliant and i loved that you did it!


I'm really nervous for you about the next chapter!
It's going to be really hard to make the next conversation between them!
*shudders*
i' glad i'm just cheering for you and not actually in your skin!
=S
I'm sure you gonna do great, but i'm still nervous!


Do you think you can send the next chapter soon?
The cabal has been really slow and i can't wait to see how they are going to react!
i'm absolutely esthatic just waiting to know what will happen!

i can't get over the kiss scene, i've read it 6 times now, it's so great!
Thank you so so much for this!
Really, thank you!
It was great!
And totally worth obssessing for over 24 hours in the website[the cabal really got me mad this time]

One more time before i have to shut it...AMAZING chapter, thank you for it!
=D


kisses

Author's Response: Lol! I take it you liked it then? ;) Oh, I was so terrified about writing this. I've never been kissed, see, so I have absolutely nothing to go off of and I was so sure I was going to ruin it. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And you're really not angry with me for having Ginny run away right after? It seemed like something she would do, since she had no idea he liked her and had only just realized she liked him, but I knew that you and so many others were waiting anxiously for a declaration of love. The next chapter won't be very difficult at all and I plan to put it up on Tuesday. I'm baby-sitting all day tomorrow or I'd just do it then lol!
