Ginny saw something flash behind her, and looked casually behind her. Draco stood there, in his I'm way too good for you! Stance. Ginny glared back. Draco gave her the finger, and stalked off.

Draco felt anger burning inside his chest. He had just witnessed the girl who he had just broken up with holding hands with the person he hated most; Harry Potter. He walked slowly up to the Slytherin Common Room humming an Irish drinking tune. Obviously Blaise's sobering charm hadn't gotten rid of all the side affects.

When Draco got into his dorm Crabe and Goyle were asleep and Blaise was looking at a muggle swimsuit magazine. With a casual flick of his wand, Draco set the magazine on fire.

"Oi! What did you do that for?!?! You have to admit those are pretty good looking muggles, and they don't have all those beauty charms that witches have! Here, I have another one if you want a look at it." He tossed Draco who looked at it for a second, and then tossed it into his eagle's cage, which was in desperate need of some more newspaper.

"They were holding hands." He told Blaise as he sat down on his bed.

"Well of course they were holding hands!" exclaimed Blaise. "What did you think they would be doing? Touching fingers? It's a magazine for Merlin's sake!"

"She was holding hands with potty." Said Draco, exasperated.

"Harry Potter?" asked Blaise. "In a muggle magazine? I didn't know he was a model! They must have had a hell of a time airbrushing that six-pack!"

"No you bloody idiot!!!" roared Draco. "Ginny and Potty were holding hands!"

"Oh! Does she know he's a model, and he's posing with half naked muggles?"

"Blaise, if you were any slower you'd be going backwards." And with that he rolled over, pulled the curtains on his four-poster and went to sleep.

Draco pulled the girls frail body after him and opened the nearest door, which happened to be a broom closet. The girl giggled slightly and looked adoringly up at his face. Their lips met with passion and Draco kissed Ginny like he never had before. Ginny wrapped he arms around his neck and locked her hands together as if saying I'll never let you go, so don't even try. Draco didn't mind as he wrapped his arms around her reassuringly. Nothing could break them apart now. They would always be together now. Forever.

WHUMMPPP! Draco's hand slammed down on his alarm clock, crushing it pieces. Nothing could break them apart…except my alarm clock. Draco reminisced on his lovely dream before getting ready for another day of seeing Ginny. Seeing her laugh at other people's jokes. Seeing her holding hands with someone other then himself. Watching her live without him, and not seem troubled by it. She didn't seem to need him now as she did before, and the satisfaction that Draco thought he would get by this didn't wash over him. She doesn't need me… but I still need her. Somehow.

Draco's left arm itched, and he pulled his sleeve up to reveal a mark that had made him suffer. The mark that was tearing his family apart. The mark that made people kill. The mark that represented the task he had before him, the punishment if he didn't succeed, and the reason he couldn't be with Ginny now. He couldn't do anything except focus on how to kill Dumbledore, and he had to act soon. Maybe in my spare time I can see Ginny he thought as he got dressed. Like she'd even look at you if she knew what you were up too…said a voice in his head, contradicting his thoughts. Draco wondered what he would do if Ginny wanted him back. Would he risk failing his task so he could date Ginny? Could he succeed doing wrong and still date a girl who was right in every way? It doesn't even matter, because she will never take you back. Not after what you did to her. Never.
