She was cleaning her bathroom tiles, methodically running her wand over them. Her foot rested on the edge of the tub, cherry-red toenails contrasting against beige porcelain.
He smirked, watching her from outside of the bathroom window.
"Draco?"
She hadn't expected him to be back so soon, but there he was - casually perched on his broom, floating in mid-air with the wind gently whipping his fair hair about. He was dressed in a tailored white suit, white Falmouth t-shirt underneath, eyes shaded by enormous gold-rimmed sunglasses.
"My God - you look like a pimp...Or an angel..."
Draco grinned, lowering his sunglasses to peer at her over the rim. "Looks can deceive... Hop on, witch."
Ginny looked down at her jeans and t-shirt.
"Beautiful," he assured her.
"Shoes-"
"No shoes." Draco held out his hand.
She climbed out, lithely slipping through the bathroom window. Mounting behind him, her hands snaked around his middle as he took off.
"Whoooooooooooo!"
Ginny laughed as Draco whooped joyously, enjoying the feel of her arms around him, the wind rippling through her hair, the tingling in her stomach at his reckless speed.
They climbed higher and higher towards the brightly shining sun, the late summer air much cooler at this altitude.
"Are you cold?" He reached back to squeeze her knee. "Do you need my jacket?"
"I'm OK," she said, grateful that he couldn't see her silly grin.
She held onto him tightly, even after he descended and slowed to a lazy drift. They reached the park by her house and landed lightly on scattered leaves.
"Right, your feet. Here." He helped her climb onto his back, supporting her bottom securely as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ginny rested her face against his smooth cheek, enjoying their proximity. He smelled delightful.
"You're back early."
Draco turned his face to hers. "Do you want ice cream?"
"Why didn't you owl?" she returned, gazing steadily into his slate gray eyes.
"Because I missed you," he said simply.
Knowing Draco, this made perfect sense. That he would admit to it made something warm flutter and spill over in her chest.
"I've missed you too," she murmured.
Draco held her gaze a moment longer before turning away. "Well, good."
She couldn't see his face, but she knew he was smiling.
