Chapter 1

Ginny Weasley awoke on a Saturday morning before the sun rose. She groaned loudly and stretched.

"It is so wrong to be up this early on a Saturday morning." She said aloud looking at the clock next to her four poster bed. It read 6:30. With no chance of falling back asleep she got out of bed, showered, dressed, and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Seated at the Gryffindor Table was Harry Potter, eating a piece of toast and looking slightly upset.

"Hey Harry, what are you doing up this early?" she asked taking a seat across from him and pouring herself a glass of pumpkin juice.

"I could ask you the same thing, Ginny." He smiled quickly and took a bite of toast.

"Couldn't sleep I guess." She replied taking a drink of her juice.

"Me too." He answered simply. He sighed then took another bite of toast.

"What's wrong Harry? You seem kinda upset." Ginny asked concerned.

"Nothing in particular. I was just thinking about everything that has been happening lately." He paused and looked up at Ginny. She nodded reassuringly. "I mean I didn't even think I would come back to Hogwarts this year. But yet here I am."

"Well, I'm glad you came back, Harry. This year wouldn't have been the same without you." She smiled and reached for his hand. "And Harry," she began looking away from him, "I want you to know that I'm okay with everything that happened last year. I understand why we can't be together. I don't blame you for wanting to keep me safe."

"Thank you for understanding, Ginny." He squeezed her hand and smiled at her. " But I am sorry for it."

"Don't worry about it."

A couple of minutes later, Ron and Hermione came down to breakfast hand in hand and sat down at the table next to Harry. Ginny talked to the trio for a while longer before getting up and leaving the Great Hall. She wasn't exactly sure where she was headed, but she knew being alone would be good about now.

"If it isnt the littlest weasel." a voice said from behind her. She turned around and found Draco Malfoy leaning against the wall next to the doors leading into the Great Hall.

"What do you want Malfoy?" she responded, her eyes narrowing.

"Now, now weasel, you should respect your elders." He replied looking her over. She had grown at least a half a foot since the last year and her body had developed quite nicely. Her red hair fell in gentle waves framing her face. And her brown eyes sparkled. Draco was shocked to find that he actually found her beautiful.

" You may be my elder, but you could never make me respect you." she said while watching him look her over. She crossed her arms over her chest. She brought her eyes up to his face and saw that it was much more handsome than it had been before. His eyes were no longer a cold gray color, but were now a sparkling silver. His almost white blond hair was shorter than it used to be and contained no gel. She was surprised by his change in appearance and wondered what had caused it. He no longer looked evil, he actually looked nice almost. But of course this was Draco Malfoy, he could never be nice.

"Like what you see Weasley?" he said smirking.

"Don't flatter yourself, Malfoy." she said before turning on her heel and walking away .

Draco stood there and watched her walk away. "She's got a nice ass" he thought to himself.

"Hey Draco!" Pansy said as she and Blaise walked towards him.

"Hello guys." he replied walking with them into the Great Hall.

"What were you doing just standing outside the Great Hall?" Blaise asked when they sat down at the table.

"Waiting for you guys." he lied. He really had been waiting for Ginny to come out so that he could talk to her. But of course that didnt go exactly as planned.

"Okay." Pansy replied. Blaise shot Draco a look that said that he didnt believe him but for now he would drop it. Pansy seemed to believe him or she just didnt care enough to worry about it.

Ginny made her way back up to the Gryffindor Common Room. She sat down in the window sill and looked out over the grounds. "Why did I tell Harry I was okay with what happened between us? I'm obviously not. I couldnt even look him in the face when I said it." She thought to herself. Tears started to build in her eyes, but she squinched her eyes up willing them not to fall. She pictured Harry's face when she told him. He looked somewhat relieved, like he had been wanting her to say this for awhile. "I guess its for the best." she told herself trying to believe it.

"We're alone now, Draco. So come on tell me what you were really doing outside the Great Hall this morning." Blaise said later that day when he and Draco were sitting outside working on their Advanced Potions essay.

"I already told you, Blaise. I was waiting for you and Pansy." he replied not taking his eyes off of his essay.

"Bullshit. You cant lie to me Draco. You were waiting for someone else werent you?"

"And who else would I be waiting for, Blaise?"

"Maybe that certain redhead that I saw you talking to this morning." Blaise smiled knowingly.

"If you knew what I was doing outside the Great Hall then why didnt you just say it?" Draco asked looking at Blaise

" Because it was fun to watch you squirm. And plus I wanted to see if you would actually tell me, and I am hurt that you didnt." Blaise said with fake sadness.

" Haha...funny Blaise." Draco said sarcastically.

"But honestly Draco, Ginny does look good this year."

"I guess."

"The only problem is the fact that she is a Weasley."

The next morning, Ginny woke up around the same time and promptly got ready and traveled down to the Great Hall for breakfast. But this time and to Ginny's relief, Harry was no where in sight. She sat down at the table and grabbed a piece of toast. She ate quietly enjoying the silence of the almost empty hall.

"Ah, littlest Weasley, we meet again." Draco said walking up behind her.

"Hey ferret face, how are you this morning?" She replied putting on her most fake smile.

"Well I was actually doing lovely until I saw your face." he smirked and sat down next to her.

"Your table is over there." she said pointing at the completely empty Slytherin table.

"But there is no one there Weasley. You cant expect me to sit alone can you?"

"I'd rather if you would."

"You don't mean that Weasley." he replied scooting closer to her and putting his hand on the small of her back. Ginny shuddered at his touch. " See?"

"I was shuddering because...because your touch disgusts me." she stuttered.

"Ah, nice comeback. Impressive. Too bad your stuttering makes it hard to believe." He moved his up her back and played with a strand of her hair. This time she regained her senses and pushed his hand away.

"Malfoy, you're making me uncomfortable, can you please go?" she whispered barely audible.

"If thats what you want, weasel." Draco stood up. But before he walked away he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Til we meet again."
