~*~CHAPTER 2~*~
Later that night Draco walked down the darkened hallways until he reached the entrance to Gryffendor tower. The fat lady in the painting was sitting reading a book; Draco muttered a thank-you that she wasn't off visiting any of the other paintings.
He spoke the password of the week, "I am a stupid git".
He had heard Neville Longbottom say it to get in earlier, at first he thought it was Neville talking to himself (in Draco's opinion and in the opinions of many others Neville should have been placed in Hufflepuff, the wizards and witches of that house were always a little dim. Maybe even the sorting hat could have had a bad day) but when the painting swung open he realized that was the password.
The woman in the painting said, "correct" and went to open the portal. Then she looked down and realized who it was, all that could be heard was her terrible shriek,
"YOU'RE ONE OF THEM! THE DARK WIZARDS! ARGHHHH!"
"Shut up will you?" Draco replied sharply,
"I'm here to see Ginny Weasly". The painting relaxed a bit and swung slowly open.
As Draco started up the steps he heard a voice behind him "I'll be watching you, so help you if anything happens up there, I'll go to Dumbledore and you'll be OUT out I say, and no intervention from Snape will help you." Draco continued up the steps until he reached the Gryffendor common room. There were a few gasps as he entered the room but no one stopped him.
He saw Ginny and walked over to her, "Ginny, may I have a word with you?" he asked while pulling her into the hallway that led to the dormitories.
Once they were alone Draco told her, "I'll take care of robes for you and I'll have my father pull some strings so that your parents will never find out unless you tell them and also that your brothers will forget anything that they see that involves us. Just please say you'll come!"
Ginny reluctantly agreed to go with him but even so, she had agreed. Draco leaned over and before Ginny even knew what was happening kissed her firmly and then willed himself away. She stood in a state of shock looking at his retreating form and then walked to her dormitory to sleep.
Draco walked down the near black hallways, guided only by a beam of light he had conjured from his wand.
He was in a state of utter euphoria; he had never felt this way about anyone, much less someone in a station so below his.
"Why do I feel like this?" he thought,
"I was never into a girl this much in my life, it's usually just a screw 'em then dump 'em thing with the Slytherin girls. This is different, so different than anything I know."
As he reached the Slytherin tower he was so happy that a huge grin was plastered over his usually solemn face and that same smile was still spread ear to ear when he finally went to sleep. The only dark thought in his mind was telling his parents about his plans…

*Author's Notes!---Hi everyone, thanks for reading and reviewing my story. I'm sorta stuck for ideas of what's going to happen in the next chapter. This one is kind of puny. Hopefully a brilliant idea will strike me and it won't suck. I don't think this chapter was that good but I didn't want to add it into the first chapter. I'm going to go start thinking up ideas for the Yule Ball chapter (either ch. 3 or 4--4 being more likely). Again thanks if you reviewed my story I love when people have such nice stuff to say about my writing. Muah,
