Author's Note: I have already finished reading Deathly Hallows! It was amazing of course but I didn't like the way Draco turned out to be a wuss in the end so I'm writing this fic to redeem Draco Malfoy! The epilogue was kind of disappointing too but all in all I think DH was great, don't you? I also love that Harry and Ginny ended up together but that won't stop me from pairing up Draco and Ginny in this one. :) I just love them together.

Rating: T just to be safe.

Pairing: Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley

Summary:

Ginny Weasley is back at Hogwarts for her 6th year without the Trio, while the storms of the war are silently brewing above them. At Hogwarts, terrible things have been happening, students are being tortured and everything is just falling out of place. Will Ginny and the other students be able to go through this ordeal? Will she be alone or will she find an unexpected friend, or more, at the most difficult times?

Prologue

"Malfoy will you watch where you're going, you idiot!" yelled Ginny as she made to stand up. To her most terrible fortune, she was just walking down the aisle of the train, looking for Luna and Neville, when the annoying git came rushing in her direction and bumped into her. Real hard.

Draco looked down at her and raised his eyebrows as he brushed imaginary dust off his shoulders.

"That's not really the way to talk to a headboy now is it?" came the arrogant voice of Draco, puffing his chest out so as to show her the shiny headboy badge, which Ginny scowled at. "Remind me to take away 50 points from Gryffindor when we arrive, will you?" he said with a smirk as he rushed past her.

"Git," Ginny hissed to his back.

A few minutes later, Ginny sat in the compartment she shared with Neville and Luna who were talking animatedly about what sounded like a plant, looking out onto the fields they were passing. Her mind was filled only with thoughts of one person. The one person that was keeping her awake at night and constantly left her worried and anxious.

"Harry Potter, where are you?" she whispered to herself.

She hadn't seen or heard of him since Bill and Fleur's wedding but she knew deep within her heart, that he was well and alive. He was strong after all, a lot more stronger than most wizards his age and Ginny knew, he was alive and thinking of her as well. Ron and Hermione were with him too anyway so Ginny knew she had nothing to worry about. Ron and Hermione. A twinge of envy involuntarily rose within her. She didn't mean to feel this way but she thought that it was unfair that Harry brought Ron and Hermione along with him in this dangerous journey. She knew that Harry's intentions were for her best but she just couldn't help feeling a bit left out. Always the one left out, anyway, she thought bitterly.

"This is terrible!" shrieked Parvati. Lavender nodded solemnly, agreeing with her friend. "When my mother hears about these...these Death Eaters taking over Hogwarts, I'll be out of here before you can even say He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!"

"And the dementors outside! What in the name of Merlin are they thinking?" shrieked another girl.

Ginny sat on her bed, ignoring the shrieks and wails of protest of the other girls in their dormitory. They had just had dinner at the Great Hall and apparently, Snape was the new Headmaster and those terrible siblings, Alecto and Amycus Carrow were introduced as the new disciplinarians. Everything was wrong. Everything from the second she got on the Hogwarts Express had gone wrong. She had bumped into Draco Malfoy, found out that there were going to be Death Eaters and Dementors in Hogwarts and then found out that 6th and 7th years were to have Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts together from that day on.

She groaned and let herself fall back onto her bed. Ginny never thought that she would say this but she was actually dreading her 6th year at Hogwarts. She was in for a terribly long year.
