Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series. If I did then I wouldn't be sitting at my computer with no life writing fanfics and Ginny would have ended up with Draco.

Fixed!

Wow this took a while to get inspired to write. It doesn't take me long to write it once I get an idea of what I'm going to write though. Sorry I didn't update yesterday lol. Hope you enjoy this chapter. It might be kind of short but its packed full of stuff you'll love!

So without farther ado:

Chapter 10

Ginny POV

"No Mum, I'm fine," I said tiredly as we made our way to the fireplaces on the platform that we could use to travel back home.

"Then why do you look dead on your feet, dear?" she asked, concerned. I couldn't tell her that I hadn't been sleeping well because the guy that I like suddenly started acting like he hated me. Oh, and that said guy was Draco Malfoy. That wouldn't go over well. If I just told her I wasn't sleeping well she would delve deeper until she found out why. I suppressed a sigh. Acting normal this holiday was going to be easier said than done.

I could tell she wasn't done with me, but she stopped asking questions and started handing everyone some Floo powder. I was the last to go back to the Burrow. Before I did, I looked around the nearly empty platform. Draco was standing alone, seeming too lost in thought to be bothered by moving. Weird, I thought to myself, I could have sworn I saw him leave earlier. I put my Floo powder back in the pot and took a step towards him, then stopped. Maybe he didn't want to talk to me.

Just as I picked up the Floo powder again, I heard footsteps. Turning around, I saw Draco coming up to me. His gray eyes were troubled but had a look of determination. He stopped just in front of me and said, "Ginny, I'm sorry." And without another word, he took my hand and pulled me too him. The second out lips met, all worries flew from my head.

I let myself get lost in that kiss. One of his hands was on my hip, the other still holding my hand. The hand he wasn't holding snaked up to his hair and twined itself into those beautiful platinum locks. I didn't want this moment to end but after our lips moved together for a good minute at least we had pulled apart for air. It was one of the most amazing moments in my life. I sighed happily. "Happy Christmas," he said with a slight smile before turning away and going out the archway that led back to the Muggle platform.

Then I noticed something in my hand. I opened my hand and saw the beautiful silver necklace with a pendant hanging off it. I closed my hand around it happily as I tossed the Floo powder into the fire and dropped the necklace into my pocket. "The Burrow," I said clearly, as I stepped into the flames.

"Oh there you are, dear," Mum said as I stepped out into the living room. "What took so long?" She started brushing off my robes as she spoke.

"Nothing really," I said with a shrug. "Got caught up talking to one of my friends." I smiled happily and hugged her.

She smiled and started towards the kitchen. "Dinner will be ready soon, dear," she said as the clock chimed eleven pm. "I know it's a bit late but I don't want anyone going hungry." I could hear her bustling around the kitchen and the cupboards opening and closing.

"Actually, Mum, I think I'm just going to go to bed," I said as I walked to the doorway. I yawned and shook my head slightly.

"Are you sure, dear?" she asked, not pausing from her cooking. Ron walked in just then and hopped up on the kitchen table. "Get down, Ronald," she said in a stern voice. He mumbled something and went into the living room.

"Yeah, I'm really tired," I said as I yawned again. I laughed as Ron flopped down on the sofa in the living room, grumbling about being hungry.

"Ok, sweetie," she said, pausing just long enough to give me a hug. "Sleep well."

"Oh, I will," I said with laugh that got interrupted by another yawn. Mum laughed slightly as she tested the water in the pot on the stove. I made my way up the stairs to my room as quickly as my tired legs would carry me. I passed Harry on my way up right as I stumbled. He caught me around the waist and his hands lingered there. "Thanks," I muttered.

He just laughed, not letting go yet. "Can you make it up on your own?" he asked with another laugh. "Or do you need me to help?" Then he smiled and his hands tightened just a bit.

"No," I said quickly. "I'll be fine." I looked down at his hands and he reluctantly let them fall. "Night, Harry." I hugged him quickly and started back up the stairs.

"Night, Ginny," he said as he started walking too.

I made my way up to my room and finally collapsed on my bed. After a minute I got up and locked my door, a habit I had gotten into after too many times of having one of my brothers barge in while I was getting dressed. Then I sat back down on my bed and pulled the necklace out of my pocket and looked at it.

It was definitely old and it had a strong silver chain, not thick but not thin either, with a pendant hanging off. The pendant was of two dragons, twined together, falling downwards. In the center between the two dragons was a dark emerald shaped like a heart. It was magnificent and beautiful.

It must have been really old. It was the type of necklace that was definitely made a long time ago. Nobody made them look like this anymore. There was a charm about it. The dragons looked to be hand carved from silver and the emerald was the exact shade that complemented the sliver best. I didn't even want to think about how much this had cost.

I sighed happily and put it on my neck, standing up and walking over to my mirror. I slipped my top robes off and looked at the necklace. It sat perfectly. Not too high up but not so low that a shirt would cover it, except a t-shirt or turtleneck. It settled nicely into my cleavage and the emerald looked amazing compared to my light skin tone.

I smiled and went over to my dresser to get some pajamas. I pulled my Hogwarts clothes off and slipped the tank top on and stepped into the pajama pants before once again collapsing on my bed. Within minutes of crawling under the warm covers, I was asleep.

Draco POV

Giving Ginny that necklace meant more than she could ever imagine. It had been in my family since it was made. Blaise said to think about the benefits and risk of being with Ginny while I was home for the holidays, but it didn't take that long to deicide. I knew that being with her would put both of us in danger. But I also knew I would do whatever was necessary to protect her.

If I were to take the risk of putting her into danger, then I would have something I had never had before. I was known throughout the school for my one-night stands. I had never had something more than that, nor had I ever wanted it until now. I knew we wouldn't be able to tell anyone because if nobody knew, then he wouldn't find out. And if he didn't know, she would be safe.

The emotions that we set free when I was around her were crazy. They made no sense at all and that's what made it so great. I had lived my life doing what I was told. I had to suppress my emotions from a very young age. "To have emotions is to be weak. They will kill you," is what my father always told me.

But when I was with Ginny, all of that was gone. I didn't have to hide my emotions with her. The only other person I did have to confide in, show my emotions too, was Blaise. He was my only friend. He was the only one I had ever trusted. It was strange, when I was with either of them, but unless I was concentrating on it I couldn't hide my emotions. That was something I had never experienced before.

I had known Blaise my whole life, almost. He could make anyone feel comfortable around him. It was because of him that I didn't turn out like my father, emotionless and evil. He had taught me that it was okay to have emotions. Because of my father, I hid them. But because of Blaise, they were still there.

By the time the train pulled into the station, my decision was made. I didn't tell Blaise yet though, in case he had a run-in with Ginny. I nearly told her in the hall when I caught her. But I had to keep up the pretense around others. I didn't act mean or hateful, just uncaring. As soon as I got off I had used one of the fireplaces on the platform to go to my house and quickly made my way to my wing of the manor.

I had been given this necklace when I started at Hogwarts. My mother told me the story behind it and said it was mine now. She said I would know what to do with it when the time came, and she was right. I quickly got the necklace from its hidden spot behind one of the paintings and came back to the platform. I had been lucky; neither of my parents had been home.

I had waited until the platform was nearly empty and Ginny's family was going by Floo back to their house. Luck was again on my side since Ginny was the last one left of them to head home. I was lost in thought, thinking about what I was going to do, when I saw from the corner of my eye Ginny taking a step towards me. Then she shook her head, stepped back, and reached for the Floo powder.

I knew I had to do it now or I wouldn't get another chance for quite some time. I walked over to her and told her softly that I was sorry. Then I pulled her to me, kissing her with everything I had. I held her to me as her free hand laced into my hair. I was beyond happy at this moment in time. I didn't want it to end.

But eventually we pulled apart and I slipped the necklace from my hand into hers as I pulled away. "Happy Christmas," I said before walking away. I could see her face reflected off the chrome strip on the train before I walked into the Muggle train station. She was happy. So was I. I knew then that I had made the right choice.
