Chapter 1
Ginny was sitting next to Hermione, Ron, and Harry. Had she been sitting next to him last year, she would have died. But things change, people change. He was now just another one of her brothers' friends, and like an eighth brother to her.
Draco on the other hand was a different story.
She had watched him all through lunch and dinner thinking about the night before. She barley noticed what was going on around her, as she got lost in her thoughts. They had been seeing each other secretly for months, and last night they finally went the extra step. She crossed the line. He merely went along. Or at least that's what it felt like to her. She felt like asking Hermione for advice but knew that one she told her it, it wouldn't be too soon before Ron and Harry found out. Yes and you cant have them beating Draco to a pulp now can you? She asked herself as she returned to her plate. She was suddenly pulled from her thoughts as Lavender and Pavarati came up to her.
"Hey, Ginny, did you hear about Draco?" Lavender asked as she sat her self down.
Ginny almost choked in her tea, They cant know,can they? "No, what about him?" She tried very hard to keep as cool as possible.
I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
"Well," said Pavarati, "he and Pansy are going out, well, maybe a little bit more then that." She finished this of with a giggle from both girls.
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me
Ginny tried very hard to keep herself from bursting into tears right there and then as she finally choked out, "really?" It sounded very convincingly curious compared to all the pain and anger she felt in side.
"Yep. They were caught sleeping, naked," she added with a little giggle " in one of the empty classrooms during lunch yesterday."
How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
So that's why he didn't want to do it last night, but he still shouldn't have kept going with me if he planned on seeing Pansy. Or he could have at least stopped me from making an ass of myself. How?? How could he do this to me?!?! She looked over to see that he was sitting, facing Pansy and talking very intimately.
I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he use to smile to me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his love belongs to me
That's all she needed. Ginny felt all her hurt and anger turning into rage, and she couldn't take it any more. As the two girls started to talk about how perfect they were for each other and how they hadn't found out sooner, she threw down the fork she had been fiddling with since Pavarati told her the news, and threw her chair back so hard, that it felt with a deafening crash with cause the entire hall to stare at her, but it didn't stop her. She quickly stepped toward the Slytherin table, to where he sat. He was staring at her as she made her way to the table. As soon as she got close enough to him, she punched him square in the jaw with all of her strength and rage. When she saw him lean back, she turned on her heel and quickly strode out of the hall, all eyes on her, without letting anyone ask her anything.

As she headed toward the tower, she went from anger to pain and started to cry a river of tears. She didn't bother to wipe them away as they streamed down her cheeks and wet the collar of her robes. As the cries started to rock her body, she went in to a full on run toward the tower. She went through the portrait hole,("Poor dear you look awful!" said the fat lady as Ginny reached her, "hear let me get this for you" and she swung herself open without asking for a password) and ran up the stairs to her dormitory and fell into her bed as the cries came even louder.
Oh my soul is dying, its crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me
Later on in the night Hermione came in to her dormitory. "Ginny?" she asked as she pulled back the curtain around the bed. "Are you alright? Why are you crying?" When she sat down on the bed next to Ginny, she lifted up her face to see Hermiones eyes. They were full of concern and, it hurt her that she couldn't bring herself to telling the one girl in the school that she would trust her life to. "Ginny what's wrong?" She sat up and was now eye to eye with Hermione. She slowly minimized her sobs to sniffles as she wiped away her tears.
Just as she was getting ready to tell her why she was a wreck, the thought of it all sent her back into another crying fit, and leaned herself against Herm's shoulder. When she finally calmed down again she told Herm everything. From the first time she kissed Draco to what Lav and Pav told her in the Great Hall. After Herm reassured her many times that it was ok, and that she would never tell Ron, she bid her good-night and wrapped herself under her covers. She fell asleep a lot sooner then she thought she would, the grand weight of her secret encounters was finally lifted from her. As she drifted of to a dreamless sleep, she thought one final thing before the sleep took over her mind:
Never again. She thought. Next time ill make sure the next one loves me and only me next time. My heart can't take this happening one more time. Never again.

Chapter 2
He sat their long after she had left. He didn't understand why she did it. After everybody left he finally got up and left. Out side he ran into the people he wanted to see the least. They pushed him into the wall as soon as he set foot into the entrance hall . "What do you want Potter, Weasely? I don't have time to play games."
"We need to talk Malfoy" Harry was blocking his front and right side, while Ron, who was cracking his knuckles, was on his left side.
"I have no reason to talk to you two" He tried to walk away but Ron pushed him right back into the wall.
"Look, Malfoy, we don't want to be here either, but you better tell us what you did to my sister or else, I swear I'll pound you to a pulp!"
This was getting old fast. "Look Weasley, first of all I didn't do anything to your little sister, and second of all, I don't have anything to explain to you. So if you'll excuse me I need to go to my common room before you two make me get detention"
He shoved them out of the way and headed toward the Slytherin common room.
When he got there it was to find that half the house was surrounded around Pansy, who seemed to be telling them a story. He reached the little gathering just as she was finishing a sentence.
"...and then he said he never met anyone as pretty as-" She stopped short when she noticed that he was standing there, and quickly changed the subject. "Hey there, where were you?"
"Nowhere. What were you talking about?"
"Nothing. I better go to sleep." She quickly got up from her seat and went up to her dormitory.
"So Draco how does it feel to be a man?"
"What you talking about Flint?"
"Come on Draco. We all know you and Pansy are hittin' the sack. That's all she's been talkin' about. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the entire school knows it, the way her mouths been running."
"That bitch."
"What did you say?" He didn't answer him. That's why she slapped me. She thinks I went behind her back and slept with Pansy! Oh that bitch is gonna be sorry for ever taking my kindness for granted. He stormed up the stairs to his dormitory and laid down on his bed for a while. Oh well I might as well go see if I can talk to Ginny and explain that nothing happened. He went over to his trunk and took out an invisibility cloak he had once gotten for his birthday. He put it on and quietly sneaked out of the common room, thankful that everyone was still talking to much to pay attention to the sudden movement at the entrance as he stepped out. He quickly made his way to the gryffindor common room. He had once sneaked up there with Ginny and new the password. He prayed to god that it was still the same.
When he reached the Portrait, he said the password Ginny had used (hipporgriff) and to his relief it worked.
He was very grateful for the empty common room as he went up the stairs.
It was a risk he knew it. But if it meant he could still have her, it was worth it.
Chapter 3
Ginny awoke to the feeling that she was not alone. When she looked around she saw a dark figure right in front of her. She was ready to scream, but the figure quickly covered her mouth.
"Its all right. It's just me. We need to talk." She knew who it was and though that it wasn't ok. "I'm going to take away my hand. If you scream then we'll both get in trouble and everybody is going to know that we are together. Ok?"
She nodded yes and as soon as his hand let go she gave him a hard slap. "How could you do that to me! You knew how I felt about you and you did it anyways. I should of known that you didn't want to be together that way after the way you acted last night. And how dare you come up here and tell me it's all right. You-"
"Ginny, that's not why I wasn't totally in to it last night" She was whispering, but really fast and he was afraid that if she kept going, the entire dormitory would wake up. "And there is nothing going on between me and Pansy."
"My ass there isnt" She tried to act calm, but she all ready felt the tears filling her eyes.
This is going to be hard. "Ginny, listen. Please?" When she didn't say any thing he took a deep breath and told her what happened.
"Pansy's grandmother died around lunch time. When I was heading back to the common room last nightafter we met, I found her in a classroom, bawling her eyes out. I went inside to see why she was crying, and she showed me the letter that her parents had written her. I felt bad for her, so I comforted her. I mean she was my friend and all. Well, we ended up falling asleep there and when we went to the common room in the morning I went strait to my room and she stayed behind to talk to her friends. I swear I didn't do anything! Honest. I didn't even know the rumor, which she started, was flying around. I swear nothing happened and I would never hurt you, Ginny. I love you." The words were out of his mouth before he could even think about what he said. But he had ment it and he looked deep into Ginny's eyes, begging her to belive.
She started crying. Not from anger or embarrasment. But be cause she knew that he loved her. She said the only thing that came to mind. "I love you too,"and she lunged forward and kissed him deeply. But when she remembered why he hadn't been going along with her last night, she pulled back. "Draco?"
"Hmm?" He felt very light headed from her kiss, and had to mentally shake himself before she started talking.
"Why didn't you feel the same I did last night?"
He thought about this long and hard, but it all came back to the same thing. "Because I didn't know if I loved you. But I do now." He kissed her again, but was interupted again when the cuirtain surounding them flew open.
"Malfoy get your dirty Hands off of my sister!"
