Ginny walked through a dark corridor. She wrapped the robes that she was wearing around her tighter to keep herself warm. On her left and right were rows and rows of doors; doors that she wanted so much to open. She reached out to the first one and gave the knob a twist. It opened easily. She peered inside and saw that it was completely empty. She pulled the door towards her to close it. She went through a few more doors and was disappointed by the same emptiness. She opened the eighth door and saw an armchair that was facing the window and a four poster bed on the right side of the room. The curtains on the window were drawn and the fireplace on the left was burning furiously. She walked towards the armchair when she saw a hand resting on the left arm of the chair.

"Draco I've been searching for you. Why are you not down for dinner?" She asked.

There was silence. "Draco?" Ginny whispered. Her heart was beating so fast she thought that she could hear it herself. "Draco?" She said again as she got nearer to the chair.

"I'm glad you're back Giselle…I've been waiting for you. I think we can now continue where we stopped before that husband of yours interrupts." A cold voice said. Boulahrouz stood up and grabbed Ginny by her arms. "Where were we?" He said and looked at Ginny in her eyes. Boulahrouz wasted no time and sank his fangs into her skin, drinking all of her.

Ginny screamed with all her might.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ginny! Ginny! I'm right here." Draco said holding on to her arms. Ginny opened her eyes. She was sweating and her eyes showed fear and horror. Draco embraced her in a tight hug and let her cry on his chest.

"He's in the house! He's in the house!" Ginny said uncontrollably.

"Shh…I'm right here Gin. Hold me…it'll be alright." Draco said soothingly. Draco kissed her forehead and holds her head close to his chest. This was the second night that she had woken Draco up with her screams. It was disturbing to think that Ginny was having difficulties forgetting that day when she was almost bitten by Boulahrouz.

He felt Ginny relaxing in his arms and he holds her throughout the night. He looked at her sleeping and felt that jolt in his stomach again. He looked at her eyes, her nose and her lips. He then realized something. A feeling of warmth rushed through his heart and his body. He was falling in love with Ginny Weasley.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days had passed since Ginny woke up for the second night. She had begun to take control of her fear. She had no more nightmares of Boulahrouz attacking her. Draco was relieved that she didn't wake up screaming anymore. He knew that Ginny was a strong woman. She's tough and it was one of the reasons why he liked her.

Draco walked along the street of Diagon Alley with a lighter heart. A few days ago, he was not able to live the day without a single worry in his mind. But that day, he knew that Ginny would be fine. She was spending the day with Narcissa and Martha. They were on a short weekend trip to Scotland. Draco had asked for help from Narcissa to take his wife somewhere she could relax. Martha agreed with him when he said that he wants Ginny to be more relaxed before she resumed her 'duties' in the big plan. Ginny was worried of course and insisted that she was fine. After some coaxing from Draco, she relented.

"There you are. You're 15 minutes late." Pansy complained.

"I'm sorry about that. So where's Blaise?" Draco asked.

"He couldn't make it. So it's just the two of us." Draco felt a little uneasy when she said 'just the two of us'. "So how's Giselle?"

"She's fine. She's in Scotland with my mother and grandmother."

"For how long?"

"Just the weekend,"

Pansy nodded and played with the emerald necklace hanging around her neck. That's all I need.

"So, what about tonight? The party that Blaise and I were talking about at the Muggle town in London. Want to come along with us?" Pansy asked.

Draco chuckled at the invitation. "Erm…I don't mix well with muggles."

"Oh come on Draco. Just one night."

"I'll think about it."

Pansy looked at him and gave her best flirtatious smile. She saw him smiling back shyly. "So we'll get you later alright? Nine sharp." She walked away from Draco but not before planting a kiss just right beside his lips.

She smiled to herself knowing that she already have him in her hands. Now with Giselle gone, this is going to be easy. She apparated to Boulahrouz's castle where she knew he was waiting. Just like she had expected, he was waiting for her in the guest room. Two other vampires flanked on his left and right.

"I got him. Giselle is in Scotland." Pansy said with confidence in her voice. Boulahrouz looked up and met her eye. She felt like her blood had turn ice cold. On the day Draco had told Blaise and her that he was in league with other Death Eaters and a lot of other people to avenge the death of the Dark Lord, Pansy was surprised that Draco was part of this. Blaise was surprised too but he had to be the good guy and told Draco that he didn't think it was a good idea to do so now that Giselle had become a victim of all these plans. Pansy instead edged him on and that was when it clicked to her that she could work together with Boulahrouz to get Draco back. When she went to see Boulahrouz in his castle, she knew that he would not trust her. But she also knew that he wanted Giselle so much that he would not passed a good opportunity.

"Are you sure about that witch? You know you shouldn't play games with me." Boulahrouz warned.

"He just told me that Giselle has gone to Scotland for a break." Pansy said calmly. "So now, I think that I should do my job and you do yours."

"I admit that you indeed have done your part. But it's not over yet. I assumed that the plan will go on tonight?"

"Of course."

Boulahrouz nodded his head in satisfaction. "You can leave." He said and Pansy apparated back to her parent's house. She was excited at the prospect of having Draco back in her life by midnight. She opened her vast wardrobe and picked out a few dresses and laid it out on her bed. After trying on everything, she decided on a red halter dress that fits on every curve of her body. She tied her long black hair into a loosed bun and put on just a light makeup. She wasn't interested in attracting other guys in the club tonight. Tonight, she just wants Draco. She took her black slingback heels and put it on. She spritzed on some perfume on her wrist, neck and behind her ears.

"Pansy! Your date's here." She heard her mother said. She went down the stairs excitedly knowing that it was Draco. She knew that he would come for her and sure enough, he was standing at the base of the stairs. When he heard her coming down, he looked up and smile at her.

"I hope I'm not early." He said. Pansy paused at the foot of the staircase and gave him a hug. "You look gorgeous." He whispered into her ear and Pansy tingled with excitement.

"Let's go." She said. They apparated to the deserted street leading to the muggle club. Music was thumping noisily and Pansy heard laughters in the distant.

"So I assumed Blaise will be meeting us here?" Draco asked.

"You should know him better. I bet he's already on the dance floor." Pansy lied. They walked into the club and Pansy pulled Draco towards the bar. She was used to being around muggles especially in a club like this. She could see that Draco was reluctant at first but he also had easily relaxed himself and blend into the crowd.

"You got to try this one." Pansy said and pushed another glass of shot in front of him.

"Are you sure? The last one almost killed me." Draco said. Pansy rolled her eyes, beginning to enjoy the night. Just a few shots and all Draco could feel were the thumping sound in his head. He didn't know how all these muggles can survive drinking so much of these alcoholic drinks. He was glad Pansy didn't push him any further. He looked at Pansy who was flirting with him. He smiled at her and the pulled her to the dance floor. He didn't know why he did that but he knew that he wants to.

Pansy kept close to him, holding his waist and gyrating her body on to his. They were so close together and Draco suddenly felt hot and sweaty. But he didn't care. Pansy keeps on whispering dirty things in his ear and he got more and more aroused. Why is this girl making me feel this way?

He looked at Pansy and gave her a smile. He pulled her face closer to his and kissed her hard on her lips. She felt her sighing and kissed her more. When he felt her kissing back, all he could think about was her.

Meanwhile, Pansy was enjoying that moment. She had finally had him in her grasps. "Draco, let's take this somewhere else." She whispered in his ear huskily.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh I'm so tired." Ginny said when she lay on the bed.

"Me too." Narcissa said and she lay beside Ginny. "But that was fun."

"I don't know how the both of you can handle all these shopping. I'm going to retire now. It's already ten and we're heading back to the manor early tomorrow morning. I suggest you both do the same." Martha said. She walked out of Ginny's room and made her way to hers.

Ginny closed her eyes and sighed. She couldn't wait to go back to the Manor. She actually missed Draco. She also realized something. All these time, she had Draco by her side. Just one day without him had actually made her heart ache for him. She became conscious that she was falling in love with Draco. She had kept it silent, afraid that it would freak him out.

"I'm going to sleep too my dear. You take care alright?" Narcissa said. She got up from the bed and gave Ginny a kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight mother."

"Goodnight Ginny."

Ginny didn't bother to change into her nightgown. She was too tired. She pulled the blankets up to her chin and immediately fell asleep. But a few minutes later, she was awoken by a familiar chillness in the air. She knew that he was here. Ginny took her wand out of her pocket and pointed it at all direction.

"Come out Boulahrouz. I'm much more prepared than last time."

"Well, well. I'm impressed." The cold voice said. Ginny looked to her left and saw that he was standing beside the wardrobe.

"What do you want Boulahrouz?" Ginny said, her wand pointing directly at him.

"I just want to talk." Ginny looked at him suspiciously and made sure that her wand was still pointing at him. "I'll stay right here and you can keep on pointing your wand at me…I'm fine with that." Ginny remained speechless. "So…let me make this easy and clear for you Giselle…you know I want you."

Ginny felt disgusted at his words. She felt like every part of her body had somehow been infected by a disease. "I want to make a preposition…if you don't mind." Boulahrouz continued. "Be my queen Giselle."

Ginny had to laugh at his statement. "Quit kidding around Boulahrouz. There is no definite way I'm gong to be your queen!"

"Oh really? Not even this?" Boulahrouz asked. He waved his right hand in the air in front of him and a cloud of thin smoke appeared. Slowly and clearly, an image started to appear. Ginny squinted her eyes to see it clearly. What she saw shocked her beyond words. She immediately recognizes the blond hair. The blond hair that she love running her hands through when they were making love. But she felt like her stomach had been punched when she saw him kissing…not her but another woman who she had no problems recognizing. Her black hair and pale face says it all.

"This is not happening." She whispered to herself.

"I'm sorry. What is it that you said?" Boulahrouz asked.

"This is an illusion!" Ginny cried out impatiently. "Don't play games with me Boulahrouz. Draco will not do that to me." Ginny said hoping and hoping that her words were true.

"Well, well. You really trust him do you?" Boulahrouz asked. When Ginny did not reply, he chuckled. "Take my hand."

"No!"

"Take my hand and I'll show you that this is not an illusion!"

"I don't trust you!"

"Fine by me. If you change your mind, I'll be at the Malfoy Manor…just outside the bedroom that you and Draco used to share. Then you can do whatever you magical beings do to get there…what's the word? Apparate or something?" Boulahrouz said and disappeared.

Ginny dropped to the floor and buried her face in her hands. What's happening? What should I do? She knew she won't be able to sleep until she witnessed it with her own eyes. Do I trust Draco? She also knew that Draco did not have the best reputation when it comes to girls. She was afraid that she would be hurt but it disturbed her that her heart was hammering her chest, telling her she should witness it.She grabbed her robes and apparated to the Manor. True enough, Boulahrouz was there pacing in front of the door. Her heart suddenly feared that the truth was coming.

"There you are. I knew you'd come." Boulahrouz whispered confidently. "Ready? Because I want you to open that door. I'm just here to guide you. I'll come for you when you need me."

Ginny looked at him through slitted eyes. She hated the sight of him. When he disappeared, she walked slowly towards the door and places her hand on the knob. She twisted and pushed the door opened. Her eyes were closed and she opened them. Ginny broke down instantly at the sight of Draco kissing Pansy passionately on the bed. They didn't even notice her presence until she called out Draco's name.

"Draco?" She trembled.

"Oh, she's here." Pansy said and they both turned to look at Ginny. "Tell her Draco. Tell her about us."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco looked at Ginny and saw fresh tears pouring down her cheeks. He then turned his attention to Pansy who was smiling at him. He caressed her cheeks and looked into her eyes.

"I'll tell her." He said. He walked over to Ginny and pulled her aside. "I can't be with you anymore."

"What? What do you mean?" Ginny asked.

"I want to be in a relationship with Pansy, that's what I meant." Draco said with no ounce of emotion in his voice.

"Draco stopped! Pansy you can't do this!" Blaise cried.

"What are you doing here Zabini?" Pansy asked threateningly.

"I saw you and Draco in the club and I know what you're doing. Pansy he's a married man!"

Draco ignored Blaise's words and turned his attention back to Ginny who was talking to him. "Draco, tell me that you don't love me. Look at me in the eye and tell me that you have never felt anything for me when we make love. I need you to tell me."

"I don't love you." Draco said as he looked at her in the eye. Ginny nodded her head and let go of her grasp on Draco's arms. She ran out the door, unable to control her tears.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Giselle!" Blaise called out.

"Leave me alone Blaise. I need to be alone." Ginny said and disapparate so that Blaise would not be able to get to her. She landed in her room at the hotel in Scotland. She lay down on her bed and sobbed into the pillow. Tears continuously poured out of her eyes. Her heart had never been ripped this badly before. Draco had looked at her in the eye and told her that she was nothing to him.

"Ginny dear, what happened?" She heard Martha asking. Ginny didn't looked up; she remained down on the bed.

Martha felt her stomach constrict as she read the thoughts running through Ginny's mind. "Ginny dear come here." She said and pulled Ginny into her arms. Ginny kept on crying softly on Martha's shoulder. "Cry your heart our sweetheart. It's ok."

"My heart really hurts. It really hurts." Ginny managed to say. Narcissa walked into the room with a vial of Dreamless Sleep potion in her hands. Martha had silently told her to bring the potion into the room.

"Drink this, my child." Narcissa said and gave it to Ginny who willingly took it and finished it in a few gulps.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Ginny woke up from a deep sleep. Her head was thumping so she closed her eyes back again. It then dawned on her on what had happened the previous night. She realised that she had no more tears for Draco. She turned to her side and snuggled into the duvet and closed her eyes once more.

"Good morning." Narcissa greeted.

"Hi. Good morning." Ginny replied with a small voice.

"Can I lie down next to you?"

"Of course." Ginny replied. Narcissa slipped into the duvet and stared into the ceiling. They remained silent for a few minutes before Narcissa broke the silence.

"Are you feeling any better?"

Ginny nodded her head. Her eyes were empty like her heart. Narcissa took her hand and squeezed it tightly. How could Draco do this to her? But Narcissa believed that it couldn't have been Draco. He must be under some spell.

"You think so?" Ginny asked her. Narcissa smiled at her daughter-in-law's capability.

"It was Pansy you said?" Narcissa asked and Ginny nodded. "Well I've never trusted her. She looks sneaky. But Lucius adores her!" Ginny smiled at that statement.

"But he looked at me right in the eye and told me that he didn't love me. It's all in his eyes." Ginny said sadly. They remained quiet again for a few more minutes. The silence was comfortable and comforting for Ginny.

"Let's head home." Narcissa said.

"I can't. I just can't. I'm going back to the Burrow. I can't face Draco."

Narcissa did not push any further. She nodded her head and kissed Ginny on her forehead. "Owl me if you need anything alright?" Ginny nodded her head. "Check out is in 15 minutes. I'll see you at the lobby."

Narcissa made her way to her room and write a quick letter to the Weasleys. She wanted Molly and Arthur to know what had happened so that Ginny would not have to explain anything when she arrives. It was too much for her to have to repeat the disturbing incident. After writing, she released the Malfoy's owl, Peridot, to send the letter to the Weasleys. She was still convinced that Draco was tricked by Pansy because a few days ago, she saw love in her son's eyes whenever he looked at Ginny. Feelings don't change in a few seconds she had always believed, like how she still had loving feelings for her husband Lucius Malfoy, eventhough he had the reputation for being notorious and cunning. She missed Lucius and she always would.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day after the incident, Blaise apparated to the Malfoy Manor and was greeted by a house elf. He sat on the sofa and tapped his foot impatiently. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs and turned his head to see Draco.

"Draco we need to talk." Blaise said.

"Well you got to hurry mate. Pansy and I are going out for lunch." Draco said.

Blaise shook his head in dismay. This is serious than I though it was.

"What's serious?" Draco asked. Blaise had totally forgotten that his best friend could now read people's mind at his will.

"Look, Draco, you're under a spell of some sort. You're not in love with Pansy. It's Giselle you're in love with." Blaise said almost pleading.

"Zabini stay out of these!" Blaise looked up to see Pansy on the stairs heading towards him. She pulled Blaise to one side to talk to him. "I'm warning you Zabini. This is my life you're meddling with!"

"You got to stop it Pansy. It's this necklace isn't it? The one that belongs to your great-great-grandmother? Remember fifth year Pansy? You told me that if you could get a hold of it, you will use it on Draco to get his attention. I remember Pansy." Blaise said. He saw Pansy's face changed with fear.

"I will not let you ruin this Zabini. Stay away!" Pansy said. She turned her back towards Blaise and stomped off.

"I'm sorry Pansy." He whispered. He took out his wand and pointed it to her. "Petrificus Totalus!"

Pansy dropped down on the floor. Her body was rigid and her eyes wide opened.

"Blaise why did you do that for?!" Draco asked and ran towards Pansy's body. Blaise walked towards them and remove the necklace from Pansy's neck. He pocketed it in his pants pocket and watched Draco.

"Draco are you ok?" He asked. Draco shut his eyes and shook his head as if trying to regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and looked at Blaise and then at Pansy.

"What happened? Draco asked.

"Draco you were under her spell! Don't you remember anything?" Blaise asked and when Draco shook his head, he sighed exasperatedly. "You've created a mess Draco, I don't know how you're going to solve this one."

"Does this have anything to do with my wife?" Draco asked in fear.

"I'm afraid so my friend."

"What happened?" Draco asked Blaise. "Blaise you got to tell me what happened."

"You hurt her Draco."

"What did I do?" Draco asked nervously.

"You told her you don't love her." Blaise said regretfully.

"Finite Incatatem". Draco whispered as he pointed his wand to Pansy.

She immediately got up and held on to Draco's arms. "Draco please, I just want your attention. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Please believe me." She cried out hysterically.

"Get out Pansy. Don't ever let me see you again." Draco said portentously. Pansy was crying, seeking sympathy from Draco but he was implacable. He turned his back on her and walked back towards his room. Pansy dropped on the floor and cried hard. Blaise looked at her pitifully.

"Let's get you out of here." Blaise said. He put his right arm around Pansy' shoulder and apparate them to his place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco sat on his bed with his head in his hands. What have I done? How am I going to get out of this one? Draco heard the door clicked but did not turn around to see who it was.

"Draco dear are you fine?" He heard Narcissa asking.

"I don't know what to do mother. I have created a mess. How's Ginny?" Draco asked, afraid of what he was going to hear.

"She's doing pretty well I see. She's not coming back Draco."

"I have to get her back…explain to her."

"Then go. Bring her back. I know that it wasn't you when she told me what happened. You know I've never trusted Pansy." Narcissa said.

"What should I tell her?" Draco asked.

"That's up to you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ginny went into the bathroom again. It was the third time that morning and probably countless times since the last two days. She threw up in the toilet bowl and flushed it down. She was feeling a little weak.

"Oh my Ginny dear. We have to get to St Mungo's. This is pretty bad and you not eating well will not help get you any better." Mrs Weasley said. "No buts now, come on."

Mrs Weasley supported her daughter's weight on her and carried her back to her room. She helped Ginny put on her robes and apparate them to St Mungo's. As soon as they reached the lobby, Ginny was helped on to a wheelchair and straight into an emergency room. A Healer approached Mrs Weasley and told her that everything was going to be fine.

Ginny was sweating and feeling a little warm. She heard voices around her and assumed that her Healer was checking on her.

"Mrs Malfoy? Can you hear me?" Ginny cringed at that name, she hated it. "We have injected a Calming potion into your body. We are just going to run some test alright?" Ginny nodded and let her do whatever she needed to do.

A few minutes later, she was transferred to a different room where she had to wait for the test results. She was glad Mrs Weasley was by her side throughout the ordeal. Ginny dozed off for a short nap and was awaken by Mrs Weasley.

"Ginny dear, wake up. Your Healer is here."

Ginny opened her eyes and squinted to see her Healer clearly. "Hi Mrs Malfoy. I'm your Healer. You can call me Carrie." Ginny nodded her head to acknowledge Carrie.

"I have some news for you Mrs Malfoy. Everything is fine. No sickness or diseases of any sort but I have more good news for you. You're two weeks pregnant!"

"What?!" Ginny asked in shock. What makes she think this is good news? Ginny shook her head. "Maybe you got the results wrong. Maybe you took the wrong results. I can't be pregnant. I cannot be pregnant!" Ginny wept. The Healer looked at Ginny's actions in horror.

"It's ok Carrie. She's just a bit emotional. Erm…you can leave us now." Mrs Weasley said. Carrie nodded curtly and looked at Ginny pitifully.

"Just call me if you need me alright?" She said. Mrs Weasley nodded and Carrie left the room to let them have some privacy.
