Fire and Ice

Chapter one: A different side of Draco?

Ginny Weasley was in Diagon Alley with three of her most annoying brothers in the whole world, Fred, George and Ron.

"Gin, c'mere!" George called.

"Don't go to them. They're going to trick you!" A voice whispered behind Ginny.

"Who said that? Ron, if that's you trying to scare me I swear I'm going..." Ginny couldn't finish what she was saying, for the person who was behind her pulled her away.

She gasped when she was who it was that had warned her.

"Malfoy...?" She asked in disbelief.

"The one and only." Draco answered smiling.

Ginny just stared at him. She couldn't believe what she had heard just a few minutes ago. Did Draco really care about her? Or was he just messing with her mind?

"I suppose you're wondering why I warned you not to go to your brothers, yeah?" Draco said softly.

Well, this is a side of Draco I've never seen before. Could I love him? Ginny thought to herself. "Yeah, I am kind of wondering." she said finally.

Then a song came into her head. She remembered it from when she was little and her mother used to sing it to her whenever she was upset. She started singing it quietly.

"Sometimes I run,
Sometimes I hide,
Sometimes I'm scared of you,
But all I really want is to hold you tight,
Treat you right,
Be with you day and night,
Baby all I need is time."


"You remember her don't you?" Draco asked suddenly.

"Remember who?" Ginny asked, though she already knew who he was going on about.

"Your aunt." he said simply.

"Yeah." Ginny answered quietly with tears in her eyes.

"I know how you feel. Trust me. Come on, don't cry." Draco soothed pulling her in a tight embrace.

Ginny sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, until there were only tears of anger left in her.
