Draco's last offense

Chapter One: The First Day Back

It was the first day of September and the beginning of his final year at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy sat alone on the train contemplating the events of his life that had occurred over the last year. His father had been killed by his mother in May and she had been sent off to Azkaban in June. He had also fallen madly in love with the one girl he had least expected to. Granted he hadn't seen her since right before his mother's trial at the end of May he still knew she loved him and he loved her. They had kept daily correspondence with each other the entire summer and had promised to meet on the first day back to school in his compartment on the train. Since he was Head Boy he had his own private compartment. He was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed her coming into his compartment.

"Hello Draco" She whispered in his ear so suddenly he jumped and landed on the floor with a bang.

"Ginny!" He said looking entirely shocked by her presence. "I hadn't heard you come in. How long have you been here?"

"Oh only a minute or two. You must have been really deep in thought to not have noticed." She said indignantly.

He reached up and pulled her down to the floor with him. Then softly whispered in her ear "I was deep in thought thinking about you my love" He smiled with glee when he saw a blush as red as her hair spread across her beautifully freckled face. Slowly he leaned in and placed his lips so softly against hers they barely seemed to touch at all.

Before he could lean in further to deepen their kiss someone loudly cleared their throat in the doorway of his compartment. Without even looking up he knew exactly who it was. "Do you mind Granger? Can't you see I'm a little busy here right now?"

"Yes but that still doesn't excuse either of you from the prefects meeting."

Slowly Draco rose off the floor lifting Ginny up with him. "Ok Granger. We're coming" He then proceed to carry Ginny all the way down to the end of the train where the rest of the prefects were waiting. Many of them glared at Draco as he walked in carrying Ginny in his arms followed closely by Hermione.

"Ok. I know that many of you would rather be elsewhere then here listening to me so lets just get this meeting under way shall we?" When she saw no objections from the group she continued. "Now the first order of business is…" She trailed off glaring at Draco who wasn't listening to her at all but instead kissing Ginny silently. "Mister Malfoy! If you would kindly stop snogging your girlfriend and help me get this meeting over as quickly as possible."

Draco frowned at her but none the less got up from his seat still holding Ginny in his arms and walked next to Hermione and began to give the prefects the same spiel that Hermione had attempted to give just moments before. After about a half an hour of going over the rules and passwords to the prefects' only locations he dismissed the entire group. As he was leaving the car he saw that Hermione was frowning at his chest. He looked down and saw that while he had been talking Ginny had fallen asleep in his arms.

"I guess I bored her to sleep with all the rules." Draco said with a laugh.

"Probably not. They all do that on the train. I mean Ron had barely sat down in his compartment and was asleep. It wouldn't surprise me if really had any sleep last night." She stopped suddenly then continued "Well you really should get her back to her compartment and put her down. Your arms must be killing you."

"Not really. She's quite light. She actually seems lighter when she sleeps."

Hermione seemed shocked by what he said. "I take it that you've carried her while she's been asleep before."

He blushed suddenly and gave her a slight nod before walking out the door and back to his compartment. He hadn't told anyone about what had happened between them the night before his mother's trial. That night they had sex for the first time. It was the greatest experience of his life. He had never experienced anything like it ever. After that night he'd carried Ginny back to Gryffindor tower before he had to leave to join his mother at her trial.

He pulled himself out of his memories and looked down upon the face of his sleeping love. He smiled to himself as she slept on his lap so peacefully. As he was watching her sleep he realized that something was different about this Ginny sleeping next to him then the one that night so many months before. He couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed about her. He was looking over every inch of her body to figure out what had changed about her. At first it seemed that she was the same until he suddenly noticed her stomach. It was considerably rounder then it had been the last time that he had seen her at the end of May.

'Could she be….' He stopped himself 'She would have told me if she was…wouldn't she?' Slowly he let these thoughts run through his head. He finally decided that he would just ask her when she woke up. Guessing that she wouldn't be awake for another few hours and knowing that he still had to do rounds he got up and left the compartment silently. As he was shutting the door to his compartment he heard someone come up behind him. Turning around he was surprised to see Harry Potter standing there.
