A/N At End
The rain was pouring down like nothing Ginny had seen before. Cold and wet she ran to the nearest store for respite from the rain.
"Why me, of all nights, why me. This couldn't have happened yesterday, or tomorrow. Noooooooooooo, it had to be today" Ginny thought to herself as she rolled her eyes. "Well, I guess since I am here I might as well pick up a few things" she muttered to herself.
After leaving Hogwarts, two of her friends had decided to go into business together. Ginny remembered the day the told her about their idea for a Muggle-like grocery/deli/bakery. She thought for sure Colin and Dennis Creevey were out of their minds but it had proved to be a popular place for witches and wizards to get a taste of the other world so to speak. Ginny wandered through the aisles searching for something to make for dinner. At this point it seemed obvious she wouldn't be making it Hermione and Harry's Christmas party, what with the weather being so terrible, she would first need to go home and change out of her wet clothes and fix her hair and her make up.
"I swear, what I wouldn't give to not have to cook for myself for one night, just once," a low voice was mumbling in the next aisle. Ginny thought "He sounds exactly how I feel!" Curiosity got the better of her and she tried to peek around the corner to see who it was, but whoever he was his back was turned.
She continued to pick things out for her supper. A package of tortellini, the tricolored kind for some excitement she thought. Refrigerated Alfredo sauce. Monterey jack cheese, Chicken broth. "Do I have nutmeg and olive oil at home?" she thought. Deciding she did she made her was around toward the check out area. It was there she saw who it was that had been complaining earlier. Draco Malfoy.
"What a git. Doesn't he know that any witch would be more than glad to cook him a meal or two? Merlin's beard, he has enough groupies following him around leftover from his Hogwarts days." A voice interrupted her thoughts.
"What is it that you are mumbling Weaslette?" came the snide tone of Draco.
"Oh shove off Malfoy. I am just purchasing items for my supper and if you don't mind I'd rather not talk to you and ruin my appetite" she replied
Draco eyed the contents of her basket. "What do you think you are some sort of chef? I guess growing up with that big family, you were bound to have to learn to feed them somehow"
"I'll have you know, Mr. Malfoy, that I am preparing a recipe that has been in my family for ages. We learned to make this when we were old enough to see over the counter. "
"What recipe is that?" he queried.
"Oh what would you know about cooking? And why do you care what recipe I am making?"
"Well, since we have the same things in our baskets I was wondering if the recipes were the same. You do know that all Pureblood families are related somehow. Even the blood traitor Weasleys" he said.
Ginny peaked a look into his basket. And sure enough, there were the same ingredients for the Tortellini and Cheese fondue.
"So because you are making the same thing I was going to make, I'll put mine back and meet you at your house at 7pm. I'll be expecting a nice dinner Weaselette. And I'll even bring the dessert"
With that Draco dropped his basket and walked haughtily out of the store.
"I cannot believe the nerve of him. Like I would actually want to make him dinner" she fumed. "Well, he is kind of handso...STOP IT this instant Ginevra Weasley. This is still that great bullying git Malfoy. Just make the dinner, he probably won't show anyhow" she reasoned with herself.
By the time she checked out her anger had subsided somewhat. She had become somewhat resigned to the fact that she, a mere Weasley, would be cooking dinner for a Malfoy.
"Lord, that have I gotten myself into" she wondered as she trudged through the rain toward her flat.
"I guess I better owl Harry and Hermione and tell them I can't make it to their party, although they probably won't notice that I am missing. There are going to be so many people there, little old me will surely go unnoticed"
Ginny made her way up the stairs to her flat and hung up her cloak. She set to work unpacking groceries and getting out her pots and pants. Checking through the list of ingredients, she took out the tortellini and set it on the counter. She got out her fondue pot, a gift from her brothers last Christmas, and set it on the table.
"Okay, I need to set the table, and put on a pot of water to boil. Water first. Okay, set it on the stove, let it boil, moving on...set the table. Where are the placemats? Under the sink. Why are they under the sink. Who knows. Placemats on the table. Nice dishes and the silver that Sirius left me ready to go. Water boiling, better go add the tortellini. Why the hell am I talking to myself" Ginny knew she was feeling nervous and when she was nervous she talked. She talked ALOT. ALOT. And too herself mostly. So she busied herself with preparing the rest of the dinner.
She added the tortellini to the boiling water and cooked them according the directions on the package. She poured the chicken broth into the fondue pot and turned up the heat. The broth started to simmer and the aroma was already fantastic. She reduced the flame and added, Alfredo sauce, Monterey jack cheese and some nutmeg. She stirred until it was melted and hot. She glanced toward the clock and noticed ti was just turning to 7 PM as the doorbell rang. "That'll be Malfoy" she muttered as she went to let him in.
She opened the door to find a standing bouquet of flowers, lilies, her favorite. Draco peeked out from behind the bouquet and swaggered inside.
"For you m'lady" he said with almost a sarcastic tone followed by a great sweeping bow.
Ginny fumed. "Quit acting like an arrogant prick Malfoy and go to the kitchen, dinner is nearly ready"
"Weaslet--Ginny, I am sorry, really. These are for you." He handed her the flowers. "I was just trying to make a joke"
"Apology accepted, Ferret. Now go." Ginny took the flowers and went to the kitchen to get a vase.
Draco followed with his tail between his legs. He was kicking himself for his actions. "I haven't been here but 3 damn minutes and she already despises me worse than before" he thought. With a determined look on his face he decided to make sure the rest of the evening was something she would never forget.
Ginny, meanwhile, after placing the flowers in a vase, was busying herself with the rest of the dinner preparations. She drained the tortellini and tossed it with olive oil. She put them in a large serving bowl. She got out the fondue forks and went to the table. The Cheese was bubbly and melted and smelled heavenly. She looked over at Draco and could see he was impressed with her culinary abilities.
"Well, dig in" she said as she passed him his fondue fork. He smiled at her and took it. They ate in peace, taking turns dipping the tortellini in the cheese sauce. There was an uncomfortable silence that lasted what seemed like hours, when in reality it was about 2 minutes.
Draco broke the silence. "Look Ginny, I am going to be completely honest with you. I am sorry for my behavior in the foyer a few minutes ago. I am sorry for my behavior in the grocery earlier this evening. And mostly I am sorry for the way I treated you while we were back at school. Especially after everything that happened with my father and the Chamber and the diary and...well everything"
She sat there stunned for a moment, not sure what to say. "look Malfoy, those are times I would really rather not talk about. I can forgive you for you actions today, and I can even forgive your actions at school, but the things that your father did to me I can never forgive, or forget."
And suddenly it dawned on her. "Is that why he is here? To talk about his dad? To make me relive moments in my life that I would rather forget? Merlin, what a git!" Her face flamed red.
Draco sensing her anger tried to appease her. "I swear there are no ulterior motives in my being here...well okay wait that isn't the truth. Honestly, I have been following you around for the last month. I returned from a job that took me out of the country and the first person I saw upon my return was you. You turned my head immediately. I was trying to get your attention and trying to find a way to ask you on a date, proper like you know, and the opportuninty never presented
itself. So, I followed you into the store this evening and invited myself to dinner. I knew if I asked you on a date you would probably laugh in my face. Please, ginny, this is the honest truth."
At this point ginny was blushing something awful, no one had ever said things like that to her before. She knew that she should be furious that he was following her and even more furious at herself for not watching to see if she was being followed. "Well, uh, umm, I don't know what to say. I am sorry for calling you ferret earlier. And if we are being honest here, I always did think you were rather tasty looking," she said with a small smirk.
Draco looked across the table at her. "I hope we can be friends Ginny. More than friends eventually. You can bet I wouldn't have gone through this much trouble for Pansy Parkinson"
They both laughed and went back to Eating dinner. They shared stories of their lives after Hogwarts, the people they'd dated, the places they'd been. She'd been surprised to learn that he didn't have many girlfriends after Hogwarts and he was surprised she had traveled all over Europe.
Draco helped clean up the dinner dished, washing while Ginny dried. She remembered that he promised dessert. She asked what he brought.
He went to his cloak and removed a package.
"Why Champagne and strawberries of course" he replied with a shy smile.
"Mercy, could there be anything sexier!" Ginny thought to herself.
Draco smiled, "That was my intention, provided everything went well at dinner"
"Oh I said that out loud didn't i?!?!" Ginny sighed. "Oh well, you go wait in the living room and I'll get glasses."
Draco sat on the plush couch and leaned his head back. Things couldn't be going any better and he was looking forward to spending the rest of the evening with one Miss Weasley, however many minutes or hours that may be.
"Here we go, now pop that cork and lets drink!" Ginny set the glasses down on the table and looked expectantly at Draco. She was hoping he would kiss her, but he made no move to do so.
They chatted amiably while drinking more and more champagne. Ginny began to feel a little tipsy and certainly more aware of the sparks between her and Draco.
Draco felt it too. He was horny and wanted to kiss her so bad. He had been inching his way closer to her, hoping she wouldn't notice and so far, so good. He was well on his way to being totally pissed and in no shape to get back to his own flat. He mentioned as much to ginny and she shrugged it off saying that he could sleep on the couch if he needed. He tried not to look too eager, but in his inebriated state was find that task rather difficult.
They finished off the strawberries, Draco taking time to feed her a couple. The champagne was long gone and the sparks were hotter than ever. There were moments when they each could tell the other was so close and so ready for that inevitable first kiss.
If finally came as Ginny was preparing to go to bed. She stood up from the couch and told Draco she needed to go to bed before she passed out right there on the couch. She was headed toward her room when he grabbed her arm. She spun around and he kissed her like he had never kissed anyone before.
He began to kiss Ginny's neck, then her collar bone, his hands under her shirt and caressing her stomach. Ginny ran her hand through Draco's thick blonde hair. She moaned with pleasure, which he took as a sign to press further. He began to unbutton her blouse exposing her brassiere. He kissed all over her chest. He had her pushed up against the wall and was kissing her with passion like she had never felt before.
Breathlessly, she whispered, "not here. Come on" as she led him to her bedroom. She had never been one to act with such wanton disregard but he brought out everything in her that she tried hard to keep suppressed.
They continued exploring each other on their way to Ginny's room. Bursting through the door and falling onto the bed, Ginny started to remove his clothes. Her shirt was somewhere in the hallway and her bra was hanging from the chandelier, it was time for him to be in a state of undress equal to hers.
Ripped his shirt off with fire in her eyes. His belt. His jeans slowly making their way down. He drew back.
"Do you want to do this Ginny? We can stop. " he said it even though in his heart he didn't really mean it.
"No way, no how." She stood up and excused herself from the room. Draco wondered where she was going, but he didn't have to wonder long. She came back with some chocolate syrup.
"here" she said, "I would think a man with your talents would know what to do with this"
He certainly did. He removed her pants and got the jar. Draco opened the jar of chocolate, and scooped some out with his fingers. He smeared a line of it onto Ginny's stomach, from just below her breasts, to just above her bikini line. Then he slowly began to lick his way southward. Her hips began to move in rhythm with his tongue. Her body began to buzz in anticipation.
Ginny couldn't believe that she was doing this with Draco Malfoy of all people. She couldn't help but wonder if this was some sort of dream. The realization that Draco was removing her panties and starting to lick and kiss all around her most private areas certainly made her snap out of it quickly.
Draco began to slide his tongue up Ginny's slit, making the lightest contact he possibly could. And finally, the tip of his tongue reached her clitoris. Ginny let out her loudest groan yet, and jammed herself against Draco's tongue. She began to move her hips wildly -- he just held firm and let her set the pace. She was moaning and trying to catch her breath. And then, her whole body tensing, her clit pressed hard against Draco's tongue, Ginny exploded with a scream, followed by a long, satisfied, exhalation. Draco didn't move his tongue from its position, as Ginny slowly lowered herself back down to the bed.
She had never in her life experienced something as mind blowing as that. She knew she had to return the favor. Draco moved around to the side of the bed and Ginny grasped his hard penis as soon as she could reach it. Ginny quickly rolled on top of him and took his penis in her mouth. All Draco could do was moan with pleasure.
Draco could have used another moment to get control of himself, but Ginny began to grind against him. "Come on," Ginny said. "Give it to me. Right now."
Draco began to thrust with her. Standing on the floor, his hands clasping Ginny's sides, he pushed himself all the way in. He pulled back out to the very edge, then deep back inside. His penis was engulfed in her warmth. Ginny felt like each thrust was splitting her open, his erection driving deeply, and comfortingly, into her core. They each let out loud groans with every thrust. Their pace picked up, their moaning grew louder.
Ginny pulled her legs up, and put them on Draco's shoulders. That changed the angle of things, and added more pleasure. The picked up the pace even more. "Little more, I'm almost there," Ginny gasped.
And then her grunts grew louder, more urgent. She began to buck uncontrollably, as the tension spread all the way from her clit down to her toes and back up again. With a final thrust to the deepest recesses of Ginny, they both exploded simultaneously, Draco releasing deep within Ginny. Draco collapsed down on Ginny, and they held each other tightly, their sweaty bodies pressed together, as they struggled to regain their breaths.
"Wow"
"Yeah"
"Wow!"
"I know"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"Bloody fantastic"
Ginny sighed and laid contentedly in Draco's arms. She never in a million years would have expected to have a date with Draco Malfoy, let alone have wild and crazy sex with him on their first date, but she wouldn't change it for the world.
Draco, was lost in his own world. Happier than he had been in a long time, he watched Ginny lay there, next to him, with her eyes shut and an amused smirk on her face. He couldn't believe this woman who he used to tease unmercifully was with him. He knew the moment he saw her upon his return to London that she had to have her. She was not only smart, she was gorgeous to boot.
"Well, Weaslette, this looks to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
She smiled coyly, "Aye, that it is Ferret"
