Chapter 4

I know it seems I'll tell anyone that listens. But it's not that. He seems trustworthy enough, Malfoy or not. I'm gonna go with my gut feelings.

One part of me is screaming "Ginevra get a grip! 1) he is a Malfoy 2) No-one will believe you and 3) no-one cares if you live or die!!"

The other part of me is saying "Do it, what have you got to lose. Someone will actually listen and care, be it Malfoy, Voldemort, your friends or family."

Ya never know what you're gonna feel, oh
Ya never see it comin' suddenly it's real
Oh, never even crossed my mind, no
That I would ever end up here tonight

"Going to tell me or not?" he asks.

"Sorry." I tell him. "In the beginning, it was great; we'd be all lovey and everything."

He looks at me, he listens intently.

All things change
When you don't expect them to
No one knows
what the future's gonna do
I never even noticed
that you've been there all along

"I was his princess. But the match with Ravenclaw was when it all changed. He'd get possessive. Harry and I came into the party in the GryffindorTower a little late than others, because McLaggen pelted a Bludger against my arm."

"I wouldn't get possessive over that! I'd feel sorry for you."

My eyes freeze on his ice-blue eyes for the first time since we were out in the corridor.

Chorus
I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true

"He dragged me out of the Common Room, leaving poor Harry confused. Dean started screaming at me. He called me awful things, said I wasn't good enough. It was only two days after that it evolved rapidly from screaming, to a slap here and there, and then it got worse as the year got on." I tell him.

Yeah, we got a good thing goin' on
Oh, right here is right where we belong

You never really know what you might find
Now all I see is you and I
You're everything I never knew
That I've been looking for

"I'm going to kill him." He says angrily.

I flinch slightly, even though I know he's angry at Dean.

He hugs me tightly.

"Ron doesn't know anything about it. Harry suspects but he's too dense to see." I say, smiling slightly.

"Potter's more than dense, Ginny" Draco laughs.

Chorus

I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true

"Oh, don't be mean!" I giggle.

He notices something. "It's not just that beating and screaming, is it?"

I look at him. "No." I whisper.

"What is it?"

I look deep into his eyes.

Can't take my eyes off of you
Oh, oh, oh yeah
So let the music play
Can't take my eyes off of you
Yeah, the feeling's getting' stronger
And I never ever felt this way

"He doesn't rape me… If that's what you're thinking." I tell him.

"That means nothing." He says.

"He'll…" I take a deep breath and gather my thoughts. Why am I telling? I'll only get hurt.

"Take all the time you need" he tells me.

Alright, I see everything
In your eyes. . . Oh yeah
Alright, something's happening
Cause everyone's around but
You're the only one I see

"He'll torture me… Death Eater style. He'll tie me up, get chains… whack them against me… his belt against my back… then he'd…" I explain, taking slow, deep, calming, shuddering breaths.

"Take your time." He says, holding me.

"He uses the Cruciatus Curse on me…" I whisper.

Chorus
I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true

I can't take my eyes off of you
Feelings like I never knew
I can't take my eyes off of you
From the start. . . Got my heart
Yeah, you do
Can't take my eyes off you
