AN: So I had this dream a few nights ago about Ginny and Draco and this whole story about them and this is it. I have no idea where this is going, so join the ride and I hope you have fun.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything Harry Potter and the only items I do own are those whom you do not recognize. I do not get paid for this, I wish I could be as rich as J.K Rowling, but alas it is only a wish.
In The Secret
Chapter One: All I Ask of You
"Hey Dray, catch this," said the little red head as she threw a ball at the blonde boy who was reading on the ground.
"No fair, I wasn't ready," he replied as the ball hit him in the chest.
"So, who cares," she said as she sat down next to him. "What you reading?"
"Oh, this? Just something my dad gave me, I don't really like it but he insists that I read it so here I am, reading it."
"Lets do something, I am so bored."
"I hadn't noticed. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. OhOhOhOh, wait, let's go shopping!" she said in an excited glee.
"That is fine with me, only on one condition."
"Anything, what do you want?"
"I want to pay for everything."
"But Dray…"
"No buts, Gin, last time you paid and I must admit that it pains me to see you go with so little when I have too much, so this time it is my turn. You can get anything you want, and as much as you want, and you don't even have to look at the price tag."
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"Only one little thing."
"Oh?" she said batting her eyelashes at him.
"Yes, I want you to never forget me, never. Do you think you can do that?"
"Of course, Dray, you are my best friend in the whole wide world. I could never forget you. Is that all? Boy does my dad have it wrong, he says that guys only want one thing from girls. Do you know what that is? He wouldn't tell me."
"Maybe they want food, I am always hungry," said the curious 7 year old.
"Yea, my brothers always eat, and they always ask for more. They never stop, wow, that has to be it. They always want the girl to cook for them because they are lazy. You are so smart, Dray," gushed the little 6 year old.
"I try, so are we going to go shopping?"
"Of course, I love shopping!" the little girl practically shouted.
Draco just laughed at that and led the way. He didn't have to tell his parents where he was going, he just went. Ginny had to, but whenever she was with Dray, she said she was with ShaeAnne, her other best friend, who knew to act as her alibi. The two friends walked a little ways until they came to an abandoned house. They had met in this house and used it very often. It would be a beautiful house, if it was fixed, but it suited their purpose as children. It most likely belonged to a wizarding family for the fireplace was connected to the floo network. They quickly flooed to Diagon Alley and Ginny dragged Draco around to every store imaginable. She kept him true to his word and he paid for everything and she walked away with lots of clothes and jewelry and books and she even convinced him to buy her a puppy. She picked out a white husky puppy with ice blue eyes. She named her Aphrodite and tried to figure out a story to tell her mom about how she got everything.
The two friends eventually made their way back to the abandoned house and sat talking for another hour. When Ginny eventually looked at her watch she gasped in horror. It was way late and she needed to get home soon.
"Dray, I am so sorry, I have to go." She said as she cringed at the disappointment apparent on his face. "I know, don't look at me like that," she said as she pulled him into a hug.
He hugged her back, "Ok, but don't forget the promise you made me."
"I would never forget you, how could I? You are my best friend, and best friends stick together, through thick and thin."
"Thanks Gin."

"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY, you are in big trouble young lady. Where on earth have you been? We have called everyone we could think of and nobody knew where you were. Do you know how sick with worry I have been and in you come like nothing is wrong with all of this stuff. Where did you get it all, and I had better get the truth from you."
"Mum, calm down, ok. I am fine, time just flew by and before I knew it I was late. I am sorry to have made you wait, but I was in no trouble what so ever. As for all of this, I went shopping with a friend and they told me I couldn't pay for anything and I felt guilty but I never get such nice things. Everything I own has always been my brothers, and do you know how hard it is to be a girl and wear my brothers hand-me downs?" Ginny had decided on the guilt trip, she knew it was mean and she felt guilty herself, but they couldn't know about Draco. At least not yet.
Sadly, her mom drooped her head in defeat. She wished she could give her kids what they deserved, they really were great kids. "Why don't you go put that stuff away and come back down, I think we should talk."
"Ok, mom, be right back," said Ginny as she skipped away up the stairs.
When Ginny came back down her mom had two cups of tea sitting on the table and beckoned for her youngest child to have a seat.
"Ginny, I need to talk to you and this is serious. We need to know where you go all the time and why you are sneaking around. We have had a little chat with ShaeAnne's parents and they say that you are over there, but not all the time. We don't want you to get hurt and that is what I fear, you are young and naïve."
"Mom, I am only 6, how much trouble can a 6 year old create? I have another friend, another best friend. I don't know what I would do without him."
"It is a little boy? How old is he?"
"Yes it is a boy," she said giving her mom the 'oh please' look. "He is 7 years old, that is the same as Ron and only a year older than me. He and I are going to be husband and wife because I am the only girl he likes and he is the only boy I like." She said matter of factly to her mother who just smiled a secret smile.
"Ginny."
"Yes?"
"Oh, never mind, go on up to bed. Your father will be up shortly to tuck you in."
"Okie dokie, night mum, I love you," she said as she kissed her mother on the cheek and ran upstairs.

"Fred, George, and Ron, could you please come in here?" said Molly who knew her youngest boys were in the next room.
"Hey mum,"
"You beckoned?"
"Right, ok, I have a secret mission for you three and you must not tell Ginny. Do you understand me?"
"Of course," the three red heads replied in unison.
"She goes somewhere, I don't know where and I don't know who she is with, but I would like to find out. Would you three be willing to tag behind her?"
"Spying" said Fred
"On our little sister?" said George
"We would love to mum," Ron answered for all of them. "Anything to protect our youngest and only sister," continued Ron, as Fred and George nodded their heads in agreement.

When Ginny woke up she got out of bed and put on one of her new outfits and took Aphrodite downstairs with her.
"Mum, look what my friend bought me, you didn't see her last night because of all the commotion, but isn't she pretty?"
"Of course dear, but you can't keep her. We don't have that kind of money, a pet is a big responsibility and you are too young."
"But mum, I love her and I would take great care of her and train her and everything. You won't hardly know she is here, and we can find some food to feed her, I will pay for it by the 10 sickles of allowance you give me."
"Ginny, I said no, we are going to take her back and you will forget this whole mess, ever happened ok?"
"But it did happen, how can I forget when you hate me? All the boys have stuff they like and what do I get? All their stuff, I am a girl not a boy and I hate it. Why don't you love me?" With that Ginny ran out of the house and Molly quickly beckoned for her boys to follow.
Ginny ran all the way to her and Draco's secret meeting place. He was already there and smiled when he saw her running to him. His smile turned to a frown as he saw she was crying.
"Gin-Bug, what is the matter don't cry. I don't like it when you cry. You make me sad, stop it," said the young boy frantically looking around not knowing what to do.
"My family hates me, can I go live with you? I can't stand my family, my mum wants to take Aphrodite away from me. How can she do that? It is not good for either of us, I already love her and she loves me I know she does." Said Ginny as she rambled on about how unfair her family was.
Fred, George, and Ron were following Ginny and saw her reach this little lake surrounded by tall grass. There was somebody already there and when they saw whom, they gasped and turned around to run home and tell their mum.

Lucius was tired of never being able to find Draco when he needed him. He was always running off and never coming back until late in the evening. It was a big place, but not that big to where you could lose a 7 year old. Ultimately he decided to follow him and see where he was running off to all the time. He saw him enter this little place with a lake surrounded by tall grass. He sat down, took out a book, (Lucius noted it was one he had wanted Draco to read) and sat there for awhile. All of a sudden out of no where came a little red head and she slammed into him and started rambling of incoherent nonsense. Lucius recognized the little twit and immediately decided to take control.
"Draco,"
That one thing was all he had to say before his son looked up at him with fear in his eyes.
"What are you doing with the likes of this riff raff?"
"Father, I didn't expect you here. Did you follow me?"
"That is none of your concern, now answer my question, what are you doing here with her?"
"Well, she is my friend, and we like to talk to each other so we meet here to talk."
"Is that s…"
"Ginevra, you get your little red hea…" started Molly as she walked into the clearing.
"You," said Lucius, his tone full of acid.
"Get away from my daughter, or you will be sorry you were ever born." Said Molly in an eerily calm voice as she pulled out her wand.
The two adults were staring daggers at each other and neither Ginny nor Draco knew what to do.
"Boy, this friendship is terminated, you are no longer to see this twit. No go home, and we are going to have a long talk."
"No, you can't make me, we are friends and we belong together."
"Ginny, you do know who this is, right?"
"Of course I do and that changes nothing, we have become closer than most and I will never leave him.
"Well, how about the two of you forget each other?" said Lucius his tone full of hatred and acid.
"NO, I promised I would never forget him, how could I?"
"Ginny it really is for the best, we do not associate with the likes of these folks and you need to remember that, instead of him." Said Molly as she started to pull Ginny away from Draco who was staring in horror as the only one who really knew him was torn away from him.
"Draco, I will never forget, Draco please, I need you. Help me; I don't want to forget, Draco, Draco, Draco, Draco. Please you can't let them do this to me, please save me." Molly had to say it was the hardest thing she had ever done, tearing her daughter away, but it had to be done. Ginny's face was tear streaked and she looked at her mom with daggers in her eyes. "I hate you, you are the worst person in the world."
"Come son, lets go get this taken care of."
Later that night, two households separately devised a way to erase their children from each others mind. They got rid of anything ever given to one another and went on their way as if this whole episode never happened.
Ginny became happy again and played with her brothers and degnomed the garden which she thought was loads of fun. Draco withdrew into his studies and the books his father always gave him to read and he once again became the lonely little boy no one ever truly understood.
AN: Hope you liked this first chapter, I almost cried as I was writing Ginny's part about her mum taking her away from Draco. Oh, I also wanted to mention that I know there is another Draco and Ginny story with this concept, I read the first chapter and didn't finish it. I truly hope this is a different concept and I think it is, but I am not sure and so I am looking for that story but have yet to find it. Anyway, my next chapter will hopefully be coming soon. I am working in another fanfic with my sister and so I do every other chapter so we shall see how fast I can get this going. Oh, and leave a review and tell me what you think!!
