I own nothing Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling and I do not own the song that belongs to Carrie Underwood.
Thanks for reading! I am finally getting around to proofing this years later, so nothing has changed for those of you who have read it before I just fixed grammar and spelling. As of 2/22 this chapter has been proofed.
Thanks for reading and I would love to know what you think!
You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he's holding you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch
"Luna you can't go there," Ginny warned her friend.
"But Ginny, he's like perfect. Why don't you want me to be happy?" Luna asked, still not peeling her eyes away from the tall blonde leaning against the wall.
"I want you to be happy, but trust me. He won't bring you happiness, just pain."
Luna didn't answer, but instead kept staring toward the tall, blonde Slytherin in question. They were at a party in the Gryffindor common room when Luna had first noticed this said blonde. Ginny immediately tried to get the thoughts out of her head and show her what Draco Malfoy truly was, but she didn't seem to want to listen.
Ginny couldn't stand to see him walk around like he owned the place and act like the bastard he was. Ginny was inwardly fuming when Luna asked, "Ginny, how do you know that he only brings pain?"
Ginny froze at the question and hesitantly answered, "I just know."
Luna didn't question her anymore, but Ginny's mind had gone back to the events she didn't want to relive.
Flashback:
She was angrily pacing the back wall of the library trying to keep her emotions in tact. Ron had once again pissed her off and she was trying not to go and hex him for what he had done. Hermione had been trying to calm her down, but knew a lost cause when she saw one and left only moments before. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she hadn't realized she was no longer alone until an unwelcome voice said, "What's up with you, Weaslette?"
Ginny jumped, slightly startled, and then glared at Draco Malfoy, retorting, "What's it to you Malfoy?"
"No need to bite my head off Weaslette."
"My name is Ginny," Ginny cut in.
"And mine's Draco, what's your point?"
"Oh, just leave me the bloody hell alone Malfoy!"
"It's Draco and I had other things in mind," Draco responded and slowly took a step forward.
Ginny took a step back and replied, "Oh, really?"
"Yes, really." Ginny felt her back hit the wall and saw Draco's lips moving closer to hers. She was about ready to push him away when his lips crashed into hers, causing her to melt into his embrace. She didn't know what had come over her, but she found herself kissing him back just as passionately as he was kissing her and giving him access to all of her mouth.
Before she knew it she found herself in a situation that she could only have dreamt of and believe me that was almost all she found herself dreaming about lately. Somehow they had both been rid of most of their clothing and they were both taking advantage of the new found skin. Ginny found herself running her hands over Draco's chiseled chest and arms and exploring places she never thought she'd have access to.
And there on the library table Draco worked his magic on Ginny.
He's a good time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
"Luna, he's a slimy snake like every other Slytherin and he can't be trusted."
"What did he do to you Ginny?" Luna asked, finally looking at her best friend.
Ginny hesitated and then replied, "Nothing."
Luna knew there was something Ginny was hiding, but decided it would be best not to push for now.
Flashback:
Everything was going fine, Draco and Ginny were secretly together whenever time and schedules allowed. She thought things couldn't get better and found that she might have actually fallen for the Slytherin Sex God. Until one night when she was sitting in the Head's Dormitory talking to Hermione, which of course was shared with Draco. Hermione had been going on about whatever Draco had done to her that afternoon, when speak of the devil, Draco walked in with Pansy Parkinson draped around him. "Malfoy, what in the hell do you think you're doing?" Hermione asked, looking terrified at the sight in front of her.
"Why don't you mind your own business Mudblood," Draco shot back while leading Pansy to his dorm, never looking up once.
Hermione continued to rant on about how inconsiderate he was, but Ginny wasn't paying any attention because inside her heart was breaking. "Can you believe that?" Hermione asked and when she didn't get a response she asked, "Ginny is everything alright?"
"What?…oh, yeah," Ginny stuttered coming back to Hermione. "I'll go take care of it Hermione," Ginny said as she rose and headed towards the door that Draco and Pansy had just gone through.
Ginny opened the door and walked in without announcing her presence. As Draco looked up and opened his mouth to speak Ginny's hand made contact with his cheek sending him backwards onto the bed. "What in the bloody hell was that for?" He yelled.
"You know bloody well what that was for," Ginny screamed back trying to hold in her tears.
Draco finally realized who was in front of him and comprehension dawned on his face. Without another word Ginny stormed form his dorm and left him and their past behind her.
They hadn't spoken since that day.
I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again
'Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
You can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won't be deceived If you listen to me
And take my advice
Seeing Luna's face, Ginny knew that what she had said hadn't gotten through to her friend. "Luna, he will hurt you and break your heart. I have been there and I'm warning you he is not worth it."
"Can't you give him a chance Ginny? He might be different than he seems."
"He's not. He isn't worth the time of day and you need to move on and not get involved with him."
To this Luna only responded by turning her attention back to the man who had broken her best friends heart.
He's a good time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
Ginny had found it almost impossible to move on and forget what had happened between the two of them. When she saw the way Luna was looking at him she went back to the times she had had with him and realized that she truly had fallen for him.
Little did Ginny know that Draco had regretted what he had done with Pansy and wished Ginny would give him a second chance. He knew she wouldn't, but also knew it wouldn't hurt to try. He had ruined the best thing he had ever had and had no idea how to get it back. That's when he saw Ginny and Luna staring at him.
Run run away
Don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
He'll break your heart It's just a matter of time
But just remember
"Luna, he's not right for you and he will hurt you. He knows the right things to say but will only end up hurting you in the end."
"I think if you give him a chance Gin, he will not be what he seems."
"He will break your heart just like he has with every girl before."
"Fine, I'll forget about him, but only because it's obvious that you want him for yourself."
"Yeah right," Ginny replied sarcastically as she saw Draco staring right back at her. At this she turned and walked away, leaving her past where it belonged, in the past.

Ginny tried her best to leave everything from that time behind her and move on with her life. Her heart had been broken once, but she wouldn't let that happen again. And until this day only she and Draco know of what happened between the two of them and it will forever stay that way.
Oh you better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life
