Chapter 8

Thanks for reading! Again Harry Potter is not my own!...

To refresh you memories...

It was 8 o'clock and the dance started. "Ginny would you like dance?" Draco asked me when a slow song came on. I smiled. "I would love to!" He took me hand and lead me to the dance floor. "I'm glad you came tonight." Draco whispered into my ear. "I am to." I said whispering back. I leaned my head onto his shoulder and we just swayed. "Now, now Draco is this a Weasley?" I heard a voice say behind me. Draco's eyes grew big. I turned around and there was ...

Ginny's POV

My eyes grew big to. There stood no other than Lucius Malfoy. "Father what are you doing here?" Draco said. "Your-Your suppose to be in Azkaban." I said moving behind Draco. "I know Weasley, I have escaped with a group of deatheaters. You not suppose to be in my home." "I invited her, Father." Draco said. "My, my boy what has gotten into you!" Lucius said. "Nothing father, I'm just being the real me. Not the person you want me to be." Draco said. "Why ello Narcissa." Lucius said. "Why I never thought I would see the day you out of Azkaban!" She said. "Aren't you glad?" Lucius asked. "Am I glad? Am I glad? No Lucius I will never be glad until your back in that cell of yours!" She yelled. "Narcissa I've changed, I'm a changed man!" She laughed. "You'll never be a changed man! You'll always be the cold-hearted Lucius Malfoy!"

"Drakie!" I heard from the back round. Oh no not a good time for Pansy to arrive! I thought to myself. "Pansy I don't think this is a good time." I heard Blaise whisper to her. I tapped Draco on the shoulder and whispered into his ear. "There are two people here to see you." I saw a smile form on his face. "Lets go, we don't need to be around these two." Draco whispered back. He turned around. "Draco!" Pansy said giving him a hug. "Its so good to see you Pansy!" Draco said. Blaise gave a small smile. "Its good to see you to mate!" Draco said shaking hands with Blaise. Blaise pulled him into a hug. "Its been two long." Blaise said. "You look like shit!" Draco said. "I know, I know!" "I'm sorry about what happened." Draco said. "I know, you've been threw it to."

I started to look around. "Oh guys this is Ginny Weasley." "A Weasley, oh my Draco-" She was going to say something else but Blaise elbowed her. "Nice to see you Ginny, I'm Blaise." He said holding out a hand. I took it and shook it. "Nice to see you again Blaise." I said. "Draco has been telling me about you in his letters." Blaise said. "Oh really?" "Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't write back, I just couldn't my father wouldn't let me." "I understand." Draco said. "Lets get out of this room it is to loud!" Draco said. We linked arms and we went out into the parlor. We sat down in chairs.

"There you guys are!" Keira said coming into the room. "Oh guys this is my friend Keira Black." I said. "Black did you say?" Pansy said. "Yes." "Ello all! You two must be Blaise and Pansy, am I right?" "Yes." Pansy said. "Oh, well nice to meet you two." "What house are you in Keira?" Blaise asked. "Are you like a real Black and in Slytherin or are you like Sirius the trader in Gryffindor?" Pansy asked. "Pansy!" Draco said. "No Draco its fine I get it a lot. I'm in Gryffindor and I do not say I'm a trader and either is Sirius! Just because we don't take the Dark Mark doesn't make us traders!" "Pansy leave Keira alone, none of us have the Dark Mark." Blaise said. "That's a lie right there Blaise." Pansy said giving Blaise a evil look. "Pansy! You said you would never take the Dark Mark." Draco said. "I lied, my father said I had to so I did. I was sick of listening to the two of you." "Your still Daddy's little girl?" Draco said. "Of course, because unlike you two I like my father." "I can't take this, Pansy leave my house and never come back. We are no longer friends!" Draco said.

"That's fine. Its no loss for me." She flooed out of the Malfoy Manor. I looked over at Draco who had his head in his hands. I got up and walked over to where he was sitting. I rubbed his back. "I'm sorry Draco." "Thanks Gin." I gave him a hug. Yes me Ginny Weasley gave a Malfoy a hug. He wrapped his arms around me. "I never thought she would of taken it. I thought she would always listen to me and Blaise." "I thought that to mate." Blaise said. "Keira can you come her for a second." I said pulling away from Draco's hug. "Can you take Blaise somewhere so me and Draco can talk?" I whispered. "Of course. Blaise would you like to go on a walk with me?" Keira asked. "Sure, I would like to walk around the Malfoy Manor again like old times." "Great!" They left.

"Thanks Ginny." "Anytime, I don't like see my friends sad." I saw a little smile appear on his face. "Look that was Pansy choice and I'm sorry she had to do it. But you still have Blaise and you still have to ask about him living here and coming back to Hogwarts." "I know. I'm going to do that once him and Keira come back, if they ever do." He said laughing. "This night has gone to shit. I lost a friend and my father has come back." "This whole night hasn't gone to shit." I said looking up. Draco looked up and smiled. Above us was a mistletoe. I smiled at Draco. "Do you mind?" Draco asked me. I gave him the kiss. "Not at all." He kissed me back. "Good." "See I told you this whole night hasn't gone to shit." "Nope. I'm glad you came." " I know you told me this already, but I am to." "Ginny would you-" Draco was cut off by no other than Keira Black.

"Ginny!" "Yes Keira." I said rolling my eyes. Draco smiled. "Blaise said he's coming back to Hogwarts!" "Really?" "I guess." Blaise said. "Well Blaise would you like to live here from now on instead of your house?" Draco asked. "That would be nice." Blaise said. "So we go back to Hogwarts in two days." I said. "Two! I thought it was a week." Keira said. "The war might be coming sooner than we thought." I said looking down. "Oh, no! I thought it wouldn't be for a few years." Keira said. "So did I, but Harry, Ron and Hermione found the Horcruxes quicker than we thought. Now we are waiting for the Deatheaters to fight."

Draco's POV

When Ginny said the war may be sooner than what we thought I was shocked. I thought it would be in a few years like Keira thought. I wasn't ready to fight my father yet or any of my old friends. I had to though I always told myself I would fight for the good side. Now I just had to tell Ginny I would be fighting. "Ginny could I see you in another room please." "Yeah sure Draco." She said standing up. I lead her to into the next room. She looked around. "Well..." She said. I took a deep breath and turned around. I grabbed Ginny's hands. "Ginny, when the war comes I'm going to go fight for the good side." She ripped her hands out from mine and backed away. I kept hearing her say "No." When she was about ten feet away from me she started to run. "Ginny!" I yelled and ran after her.

It took me a half an hour to find her. When I did she was in one of my bathrooms. "Ginny?" I heard her crying. I went over to her and picked her up. "Ginny listen to me! I'm sorry I had to tell you but I would have had to tell you some time anyways. I never want to leave you, but I'm doing this for my own good and to show not all Malfoy's are bad." She looked up at me, her brown eyes in tears. "I know, its just hard for me losing all my brothers and my good friend to this war." I whipped away her tears. "Ginny I don't want to be just good friends, I want to be a little more." "What do you mean like a relationship?" "Yeah Ginny I really like you and I have for awhile I just couldn't get the guts to ask you till tonight." "Is that what you were trying to ask earlier but Keira came in?" "Yes." She gave a smile. "I would love to go out with you Draco Malfoy!" She said with a smile. I gave her a hug. "Lets get out of this bathroom and back down to Blaise and Keira." I said.

The rest of the night we talked about random things. Keira and Ginny left around one o'clock a.m. "Blaise should I show you to your new room?" "Thanks Draco." "For what?" I asked. "Getting me out of my house and letting me live here and go back to Hogwarts." "Your welcome." We went upstairs to my floor where my bedroom was. We went down one my door to Blaise room. "Here you go mate." "Thanks Draco. Oh what's up with you and the Weasley girl?" Blaise asked. I smiled. "I asked her out tonight, but we've been friends since the beginning or the school year." I answered. "I'm happy for you Draco, I know you really like her." "Thanks Blaise." Blaise went into his room and I made my way back to my room.

The next morning I woke up by someone grabbing my shoulder. "What?" "Get up Draco." I heard my father say. "What time is it?" I asked. "To late for you to be sleeping. Its nine o'clock." "Fine." I sat up. "Father what are you doing with your whip?" I asked worried. "Teaching you a lesson." I got out of bed quickly and made an attempt to run for my fireplace so that I could floo to Ginny's house. "Where do you think your going?" "Away from here!." I didn't make it.

I woke up on my floor a few hours later. My back was killing me. I made an attempt to get up. "Ouch!" I yelled. "Draco are you up?" I heard mothers voice say. "Mum." I said in pain. She opened the door. "Draco dear what happened." "What do you think? It was father again." Her look of concern turned into a look of anger. "Draco we need to get you and Blaise away from this place." "I know mother, I know." "I'll be right back to heal you, ok?" "Alright." Mother left for a few minutes than came back with bottles of medicine. She rubbed it on my back. "Ah!" "It's going to sting." "I know mother." I was finally healed. "Why did your father beat you?" "He said I needed to learn a lesson. I think that lesson was not to be around Ginny or taking Blaise away from his father." I said sitting up. "That's what I thought. When you get home for summer break we are leaving this place." Mother said. "Ok. Mum Ginny told me last night the war might be starting soon." "Oh really?" "Yes, they are waiting for the deatheaters to attack first." "So that could be anytime soon." "Yes, and I'm going to fight for the good side." "I'm proud of you Draco." I smiled. "Thanks." "Well you should start packing you leave early tomorrow for Hogwarts." "I know and I'm kinda glad to be going back." I said. "Good."

Blaise and I stayed up till 12 talking about things that have been happening. We also packed. It didn't take me long to pack, but for Blaise it took him awhile. "Are you glad to be going back?" I asked. "Yeah, I get to be away from my father and I get to be with my best mate." "Well we should get to bed, we have to be up early tomorrow." "Oh great." Blaise said rolling his eyes. I laughed. "See you in the morning." "Night." I headed back to my room and went to bed...

A/N: YAY! Draco and Ginny! To bad Draco has to go to war soon...

Well Review please!
