I've decided to update again. I wasn't going to…but I thought I should. Mainly because I went up from 48 reviews to 70 on one chapter!!! .

So the strike is officially over! is proud of my reviewers

CANDY AND HUGGLES TO ALL REVIEWERS!!

DISCLAIMER: do you seriously have to do one of these at the start of every chapter?? sigh I don't own Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, or any Weasley for that matter. I don't own the concept of Hogwarts school of which craft and wizardry, butterbeer or hogsmeade. I don't hold the rights to Hermione Granger, or just in general anything you recognize. I do own the major ooc-ness featured in this fic though… I think…

Any ways, on with the chapter!

======================================

(end of last chapter)

No one really knew who threw the first punch, but pretty soon the two of them were both rolling around on the ground fighting with as much ferocity, if not more, than the fight that had occurred between Draco and Harry. Amid Hermione's cries of "STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" and the joint effort between her and Ginny to try to pull them apart, Ginny had given up and fled back to the castle.

Harry saw this, and without anyone noticing him, he silently followed her.

=====================================

Chapter10: Darkness and Despair (AN: god that's morbid, but I couldn't think of a good chapter title. As soon as I come up with one, I'll change this one)

====================================

Ginny ran back to the castle as fast as she could. Her tears were falling silently down her cheeks and the wind whipped them away as fast as they could fall.

She just wanted to get away from it. Away from everything. Away from the fighting, away from her brother, and away from the non-acceptance that had become her life. She had been so touched when Draco had faced her brother and told him that he wanted to be with her. But her brother being the stupid bastard that he was had to go and ruin everything. He thought he was protecting her, but he was breaking her heart with each word he had said about Draco. With each order he had issued upon her. With every punch he inflicted on Draco's handsome face. But Draco was hurting her as well, with every punch he inflicted on her brother. She was so confused. She wanted to get away. She needed to get away.

So she kept running.

===================================

Harry silently followed her. Ginny was headed back towards the castle so he thought he'd take a short cut. He went into Honeydukes. The owners were too busy with the infinate customers, and the customers too busy with the candy on the shelves. So none of them noticed the scruffy haired green eyed boy slink into the back room and under a trap door in the floor.

He started running down the passageway. He knew that he'd get there before she did. And he also knew that everyone would be at Hogsmeade. She would be in the castle alone. With him.

He came out of the statue of the old hag in the corridor. He brushed the dust off of his cloak and continued on his way down to the double doors at the entrance of the school.

==================================

Ginny finally reached the double doors to the school. She burst through them and almost collapsed on the floor. She fell to her knees panting, tears already stained her cheeks, he hands flat on the floor for support. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to be with Draco more than anything, but her family would never allow it.

If they can't accept what I want than screw them. "Screw them all." she said out loud. Another voice met hers from the shadows off to the side of the entrance hall.

"Well I don't know about screwing everyone, but I know one person I wouldn't mind screwing." Harry slowly became visible as he started walking towards her.

"Get the fuck away from me." Ginny said to him. She was surprised that she wasn't yelling, but because of her running she didn't have enough energy left to do much of anything.

"Tsk tsk," Harry started; he was almost standing right on top of her. "That's a little cruel of a way to act towards your former obsession is it not? I think that I, of all people, deserve a little more respect," he grabbed her upper arm and pulled her up and towards him until her body was flush with his. "Don't you agree Virginia?" he asked. His breath attacked her face as he spoke and she turned her breath away from the stench of fire whisky. Apparently he hadn't ordered a butterbeer. She looked him in the eyes and tried to speak calmly though her anger and depression showed clearly in her voice.

"I said… get… away …from… me." She said between gritted teeth, annunciating every word as if Harry had a hearing problem. He just laughed. He pinned her wand arm up against the wall and pulled out his own wand, pointing it at her throat.

"Let me see, let me see." he said looking up as though he was in deep thought. "Well…first things first, we can't have you screaming and attracting the attention of the entire school now can we?" He smiled maliciously and as Ginny opened her mouth to scream. He whispered "Silencio." and she didn't make a sound. She tried, but her throat didn't seem to want to work. She scratched at it with her free hand as if it would make a difference, but obviously, it didn't. She focused her efforts on trying to free her arm from Harry's grasp. It wasn't working, so she quickly lifted her knee and it made swift and painful contact with Harry's …well… more tender area. He keeled over and her arm was swiftly released. She started to run down the entrance hall. But it was a fair distance to cover, and Harry recovered before she got out of the range of his wand.

"Stupify!" he yelled. (AN: I know someone should have heard that…but they didn't…why?...cause I said so that's why ducks rotten tomatoes and grapefruits) Ginny immediately fell to the floor and lay motionless. Harry gingerly walked towards her and knelt beside her head. He flipped her over onto her back and looked at her. He knew she could still see and hear him.

"My dear sweet Virginia." he said shaking his head. "You didn't think you would get away that easily did you?" He ran one of his fingers along the line of her cheek. "You know, I had planned on this being at least somewhat voluntary." He glanced down the rest of her immobile form. "But I guess I could work with this." He then grabbed one of her arms and used it as leverage to throw her caveman style over his shoulder. Ginny's eyes widened and shone with an unmistakable fear. In her head she was screaming at him. But she knew that there was nothing she could do. She hoped desperatly for someone, anyone, to come and stop him. A solitary tear fell down her cheek as Harry carried her up to his room.

================================

Draco and Ron were trying to keep punching each other. They had both worn themselves out, and yet they still desperately wanted to inflict pain and visible damage on the other. Draco leaned over and landed another lame punch in Ron's stomach just as Ron leaned over and they clunked heads. They were both groaning in pain and exhaustion. Draco had a fat lip and a black eye, but was rewarded when he noticed that Ron's nose appeared to be broken, his lip was swelling, as was one of his eyes and he was developing a fair sized lump on his head.

They both fell backwards away from each other and lay on the ground. Hermione was sitting on a cargo box off to the side of the alley reading. Yes…reading. She always had a book with her, and she had long since given up in trying to pry the two boys apart, so she needed something to occupy her time.

Draco sat up and looked around. The alley looked somewhat bare. As if something was missing. Then it clicked. He couldn't see Ginny. His head whipped around as he searched all areas of the alley that were visible from his current position, and he didn't find her.

"Weasel!" he yelled at Ron trying to get his attention. He slowly craned his neck up and looked at Draco. He blinked several times before answering.

"You wanna go? I'll take the both of you." Ron said drunkenly. Apparently that bump on the head was at least a little serious.

"Shutup you retarded bastard. Your sisters gone." Draco waved one arm as if to emphasis point.

"Probably didn't want to see me get injured in any possible way. Not that I would have been. Where's Harry?" Ron asked as he sat upright and brought a hand to his head to stabilize himself. Draco didn't hear the first part of Ron's statement, but as soon as he also noticed that Harry was gone, he jumped up and started running full speed back to the castle.

"If that asshole harms one hair on her head…" he said leaving the threat open and running solely on adrenaline. Ron just stared blankly and fell down again as Hermione finally got up and went to his side.

====================================

Harry roughly threw Ginny on his four poster. Conveniently there was no one else in his room because they had all gone to Hogsmeade. He them started violently shoving his tongue into her mouth. Ginny wanted to throw up, but couldn't because her body was not responding to what her mind wanted it to do. Another tear rolled down her cheek as she thought of Draco. She felt so dirty; as if she was betraying him in some way.

Harry then ripped her shirt and bra off in one tearing motion. Ginny started coursing with an uncontrollable anger. She managed to close her eyes and she thought of everything that Harry had done to her. He had used her, and now he decided that he wanted her. He had ignored her for years. He had tried to beat up Draco. It now seemed he was trying to rape her (AN: not to quick on the uptake is she?). Well, her body was one thing that he wasn't going to have. She turned off all her senses and focused all her energy on trying to break the stupefy spell before Harry got what he wanted.

She dove into her subconscious and searched her mind trying to find the spell itself. She finally found what looked to her like a small thread of silver. She then sent a bolt of energy towards it. Nothing happened. She then increased the level of her rage and brought everything into it. Everything from Ron not wanting her to be with Draco, to Harry and what he was doing right at this very moment. She even brought up the memory of when Tarah had "borrowed" and accidentally spilled pumpkin juice on her favorite pair of pants. She tried again. This time she could see the waves coming off of the thread as the bolt of energy collided with it. It snapped in half.

Ginny opened her eyes and found that Harry had already removed her pants as well as her shirt and bra. She immediately found she could move again and kneed him un the face. Hard. He clutched his nose in confusion and his blood started to show between his fingers. She didn't bother with her clothes but went right to the task at hand. Her wand was in her robes, and she had no idea where those were. She resorted to the muggle way of fighting and landed punch after punch of her own into Harry's face. Each one getting harder and harder. She lifter his head up and smashed it into the cold hard ground. Harry's hands lowered from his face and he lay unconscious on the floor. A small stream of blood was making it's way from the back of his head.

Ginny crawled into a corner of the room and curled up into the fetal position. Still without her top, she cried and tried to hide herself in the darkness.

================================

Draco bolted up the stairs towards Gryffindor tower. He knew where it was because of his prefect duties he had in his fifth year (AN: I couldn't remember if Draco got his badge in 4th or 5th year. If someone could fill me in I'd appreciate it ). He came to the portrait of the fat lady and stood in front of her. He didn't know the password. He regained his composure and approached the her.

"Prefect." he said, "Going on rounds of the common rooms. I need to be let into the tower."

"I think not Mr. Malfoy, your prefect privileges were revoked last year were they not?" She said back to him. Draco lost it.

"Open this godamned fucking door right now or I'll rip you off the fucking wall you fat piece of shit!!!" he screamed at her. The fat lady looked extremely shocked at him and just stared open mouthed.

"Well I never!" She started. But Draco had run out of patience. He pointed his wand at the portrait and yelled. "INCINDIO" (sp??) The fat lady burst into flames and a crack revealed itself between the wall and the portrait. Draco pried the crack open and ran into the tower and up the stair case to the boys dorms.

He threw the door almost off it's hinges as he stormed into the room. The first thing he saw was Harry crumpled and bleeding on the floor. He quickly scanned the room for Ginny, noticing various articles of her clothing everywhere. He cast a quick binding spell on Harry should he wake up.

"Draco?" came a soft voice from the other side of the room.

He found her in the corner and went immediately to her side. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around her half naked body and held her close to his chest where she burst into violent sobs.

==================================

Harry's mind wandered and he found himself in a familiar cemetery. He wandered between the gravestones as if looking for something. No. Someone. He continued his search until he found himself looking at a stooping hooded figure just beyond the next headstone.

"I've been waiting for you, Potter." the figure hissed and it almost sent a chill up Harry's spine. Harry calmly approached it. "I have a proposition for you," the figure continued, "I'm sure you already know what it is. In return for your services, you shall have anything you want. Just name your price." The figure turned to face Harry, but its own face was still covered by its large hood.

"I have had something taken from me that I am fully aware that I can't get back." Harry replied, "She has been taken from me by someone I think you are familiar with." Harry clenched his hands into fists. "I can't get her back, but I can take out my anger on him." He looked up at the figure in front of him.

"I want Draco Malfoy dead." The figure laughed darkly and rose up to its full height. It pulled back its hood to reveal a gaunt white and snakelike face. Its red eyes laughed at Harry.

"Consider it done."

================================
