"I want a two scroll essay on the properties of the mandrake root," Snape said in his slow drawl. The class groaned. "Enough," he snapped, "You will have this done by tomorrow. You are dismissed." Moaning, the class got to their feet and started to leave, muttering about how much work they had to do. It was only the beginning of the year and still they had so much work. Ginny and her best friend, Veronica headed straight to the library.

"You'd think that we would get a break from all this work," said Veronica.

"I know!" exclaimed Ginny, "we have to do that essay for Professor Snape, practice the new charms we learnt AND research the uses of the plant; oh I can't even remember its name!"

"It's so unfair," moaned Veronica.

They entered the packed library. After spending a few minutes looking for a seat they finally settled down and pulled out their books.

"Why is it so packed?" asked Ginny.

"I don't know," replied Veronica.

For a long time they didn't talk but instead heard the scratches of their quills. Ginny, finally putting a few final touches to her essay, turned to Veronica and said, "It's getting late we better go back now."

"Okay," said Veronica. They packed up their stuff and headed back to the Gryffindor Tower. About hallway there Ginny stopped.

"What is it?" asked Veronica.

"I just forgot something," said Ginny, "I'll go get and meet up with you later"

"Okay but hurry curfew is in a few minutes"

Ginny dashed down the corridor back to library. When she got there she quickly grabbed the piece of parchment she forgot and strode back towards the Gryffindor Tower. Suddenly she froze. Something was whispering so faintly that Ginny couldn't even hear it in the silent corridor.

"Who's there?" she asked. No answer. She tried again, this time louder, "Who's there?" Again, no answer. Thinking it was just her mind playing tricks on her, she proceeded. Then as if she had just ran through a ghost, her whole insides felt as cold as ice. Shivering, she folded her arms and stiffly walked through the deserted corridor. Or at least she thought.

"My dear Ginny how nice to see you again"

Ginny immediately recognized that voice. She ran. She didn't care where she was going. She had to get out of there.

Ginny bolted down the corridor, her flaming hair flying from her face. "No," she repeated again. Her head was spinning. This isn't possible, her mind thought viciously. Ginny didn't even see who was waiting at the end of the corridor. She ran right into him! Ginny looked up and saw cold silver gray eyes staring down upon her. Draco Malfoy.

Sneering maliciously, Malfoy sighed, "Weasley, you ask for things in the strangest way." He didn't realize it but he did something strange. More than strange. Outrageous! He lowered his head and kissed her. Ginny stood there, staring, not knowing what was going on anymore. She felt funny, as if all the troubles in the world, just... melted away. Ginny finally closed her eyes, focusing every bit of her on the kiss. Draco pulled away, and straightened himself before walking briskly from her sight.

Ginny didn't know what to do. Had Draco Malfoy, her brother and his best friend, Harry Potter's mortal enemy, just kiss her? She asked herself. "No," Ginny said without realizing it. It just couldn't be! Ginny still dazed ran the rest of the way back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Ginny where the bloody hell have you been?" Ron shouted. Everyone was now looking at the two red heads bickering at each other.

"I told you I have been in the library," Ginny almost shouted.

"THEN WHY DID YOU COME BACK AT MIDNIGHT" Ron bellowed, his face full of fury. Ginny just stood there. "WELL?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" screamed Ginny, her eyes swelling with tears. She ran up to her dormitory, leaving Ron behind speechless.

*~*

The next morning Ginny woke up, her head pounding with pain. She went over the events of last night then she came to the kiss. Was she dreaming? She could barely remember. I probably was, she thought, yes that's it, just dreaming.

Luckily it was the weekend so she could sleep in until whenever. It was now lunchtime so Ginny slowly got dressed and headed down to the great hall. Veronica was already there waiting for her. Ginny dropped down into the seat next to her best friend and loaded her plate full of food.

"Wow Gin you look hungry," Veronica said, picking up her fork and filled up her plate too.

"You do too," laughed Ginny. Veronica laughed too. They both broke into fits of laughter. Suddenly Ginny stopped laughing.

"What is it Ginny?" asked Veronica, looking concerned, but Ginny wasn't listening. She was looking straight at a certain blonde haired slytherin staring at them with an amused smirk. Draco, Ginny said to herself. No! Not Draco! Malfoy, get in your head she forced herself. What was happening to her? Was she falling for this certain blonde haired boy or was it something else? No it couldn't be, her mind screamed. You do not like him, she told herself.

"Ginny are you okay?" Veronica exasperated finally shaking Ginny.

"What?" asked Ginny, still dazed, "What were you saying?"

"Gosh Ginny, you really scared me," exclaimed Veronica, "it was like you were in a trance or something. Never do that again. You really scared me."

"I'm sorry," said Ginny, now looking at her best friend, "I was just thinking."

"Ginny I think that was more than just thinking, there's something you aren't telling me."

"It was nothing. Really, just nothing," said Ginny. Was it really nothing? Maybe I should tell Veronica, she thought.

"Ginny, please just tell me. I'm really worried about you," said Veronica softly.

"Okay I guess," said Ginny, slowly rising to her feet. They walked out of the hall towards their dormitory.

Luckily when they got there it was empty. It looked like all of their roommates were either still at lunch or in the library.

Tying her hair back Veronica said, "Now tell me what happened."

Ginny started her story, telling Veronica first about going to the library, then the voice in the corridors and finally about Draco. Veronica sat there silently which Ginny was grateful for. She never liked being interrupted and Veronica never asked too many questions.

Ginny shifted uneasily, waiting for her best friend's answer.

"Well it seems weird; I mean the voice in the corridor. You should go talk to Dumbledore. This is really serious Gin," Veronica said, with concern in her eyes.

Ginny looked down for a few seconds then looked up and said, "I know I should but I think I was just imagining it, I mean it's not possible that he really could be there. Anyways I really don't want to bother Dumbledore with something like this."

"If you say so but I really think you should. He would want to know about something like this," said Veronica.

"Maybe I should," Ginny said, thinking about it for a few seconds, "Yeah I think I will."

"Okay. Do you want to go right now?" asked Veronica.

"Um. I guess so," Ginny said, getting up, "let's go." They headed down into the common room. Ginny was really glad that Ron wasn't there to stop them. He would probably make up a big fit again and clearly, Ginny did not want to see him right now.

When they had reached the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's office, somebody was already there.

"I don't know Professor Snape, it sounds suspicious,"

"Yes it does but how could he have been here?"

Ginny had recognized the two voices. Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy.
