(A/N: Okay so far I have only been able to find a spell checker, but not one for grammar. So if anyone knows a good site that I can find one on, feel free to let me know.
Also, the review(s) I got were great, thank you for the encouragment :) The chapters are slow being posted, and for that I apologise. R/R)

The days went on, and student fell into there usual school routines. It was hard to concentrate on my classes. My mind was plagued by the red headed girl that some how reached out to me. I watched her during meals, and in the halls. She always trudged along behind the Golden Trio, never talking to anyone.

Most of my free time was spent in my dorm. Being Head Boy always had its perks, and one of them was a fully furnished room. I tried to make sense of what I was feeling. It was the first time in my life that someone understood what I was going though. For some reason I found myself wanting to hold on to her and never let go.

Scarlette and I often shared lunches in my room. We went over arrangements that our mother had sent us for the wedding. Today, the subject was flowers.

" Now my mother says that our choices can be either Cactus flowers and Lilies.." She placed the two flowers in front of me. I had to admit that the pale purple of the cactus flower caught my attention. "Or we can do Roses and Lanvender.. They smell wonderful together, and I rather like the red and purple color together. But then again so is the purple and the white. I just don't know what to choose. What do you think?" I looked at the rose in front of me. It was the same dark red as Ginny's hair.

"Scarlette..." I picked up the rose, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"What?" She asked, looking over the papers our mothers had sent.

" Do you question yourself.. I mean do you ever think that this isn't what you want?" I looked into her green eyes. Her eyebrows were furrowed.

"Of course not.. I knew, even when we were kids, that you were the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Why?" She placed her hand over mine. I looked back at the rose.

"I... I just was wondering. I know we sort of got pushed into this." I sighed.

"The day they told us we were to be wed was the happiest day of my life. That much I can assure you." She gave me a small smile. I patted her hand and stood up.

"I need to go on a walk." I stood up, holding the stem of the rose in between my fingers.

"Okay. I will see you before potions then? You know how pissy Snape gets when students are late." She looked confused and hurt. It tugged at my heart to know that ultimately I would break her heart. She loved me, but she didn't know me.

"I will be there. You can count on it." With one last smile I left the room.

I had no where in particular that I wanted to go, so I let my legs do the walking. Before I knew it I was on my way to the lake. I stopped short when I saw that the very girl who was plaguing my mind was sitting under a tree, tears falling from her face.

I walked up slowly, not wanting to startle her. The sun shown brightly on her hair. It made the deep reds shine like silk, and it was all to tempting to touch. I took quick notice that she was not wearing her school robes. I took a moment to appreciate her body. Her legs seemed to go on forever before they disappeared beneath her skirt. Her broad hips led up to a slender waist, which ultimately led to her bulging bust line. She was irresistible on looks alone.

"You are far to pretty to be crying Ginny." I stood beside her and looked out at the sparkling water.

"Sometimes you can't help it though." She said with a sniffle. She whipped her eyes with the back of her hand and took a deep breath.

"Mind if I sit down?" I asked, walking closer to her. She gave me a smile, and patted the ground next to her. I took my place beside her, close but not to close. I could smell her from here. She smelled like vanilla and coconut. I took a deep breath, holding that scent in my mind. "So.. Do you want to tell me what is wrong?"

She looked up into the sky and took a deep breath, more tears leaked from her eyes. "Sometimes, I just find myself wondering that if this is all life has to offer me, then why even bother staying here. Being alone gives me a chance to reflect on my life, and I realize that I have nothing really to show for it.. Except for being the girl who opened the Chamber, which is something I rather forget. I don't know, I guess I cry because I know there is so much more I could do with my life."

"Ginny, you have your life in front of you. It could be worse, you could be like me." I said, placing my hand on her shoulder. " I would give anything to have the power to decide what I am going to do. But my life, my dreams are all made up for me."

She sniffled and let on a small smile. " What do you want to do Draco, after school I mean?"

"I've always wanted to travel. Go to different places and experiences different cultures. I know life is to short, and I want to experience as much of it as I can. I wanted to get married to a women I love. I wanted to have children, a family to share it all with." I looked over at her. She was looking out at the water. "What about you?"

She blushed slightly. " I want to write.. Books, short stories.. Anything. I want to be heard. I guess it is stupid considering I haven't written anything since my first year." She smiled bitterly.

"It isn't stupid. If you have passion for it, then you shouldn't let something like that hold you back." I let my hand drop from her shoulder. I knew that it was my fathers doing that ruined her dream. It made me hate him all the more. She was so innocent and full of hope, and it was taken from her that year.

"I know, but I always get scared that my paper will start talking back. I guess that is why I get so guarded around people. Tom used me, and I never want that again." She gave a weak smile. I think deep down she accepted what had happened, but somehow wasn't able to let it go.

" All I can tell you is don't give up. When you are down, there is only one place to go.. That is up. " She put her hand over mine, and gave it a squeeze.

"Thank you Draco." She stood up. "I think class is getting ready to start.

I stood up as well and began brushing my pants off. I was caught off guard when I felt her arms slide around my neck in a hug. I lightly wrapped my arms back around her, giving her back a small pat. I took in the scent of her body one last time before she let me go.

"Thanks again." She said as she walked off. I looked after her, watching her hair sway in the wind..
