Author's Note: I felt like I needed to do some explaining.

The main relationships in this story are Harry/Parvati, Ron/Hermione, and Ginny/Draco. At first I thought I would just focus on Romione, but then I seen an opportunity to show different dynamics in relationships.

You have your boy like girl and girl like boy so they get together and live happily ever after relationship which is Harry and Parvati.

Ron and Hermione's is that opposites attracts. They fight, they confuse each other. They even have horrible moments but at the end of the day they still have a very strong love for each other.

Ginny and Draco's relationship is powerful and complicated. Both Ginny and Draco are stubborn, fiery, take no ish people with Ginny sometimes coming out as the more dominant one of the two. As Draco tries to show he is a good person, Ginny often resists despite the fact that she has fallen for him just as hard as he has fallen for her. It's also somewhat of a Romeo/Juliet dynamic as neither family likes each other. The fact that I find both these characters somewhat aggressive makes for some very heated arguments and even more heated making up.

I kinda wanted to show people that there relationships aren't always black and white. A lot of them are gray. And they can still be the best ones if they work for you.

I also wanted to point out that the chapters coming up are the reason why this story is rated M. If you don't like lemony things or smut as they say(I waited to write about that until they were of age in the wizarding world. Didn't know how people would take it if they were like really young) I'll put like a bold warning so you can skip it if you so choose to. Especially with Ginny and Draco. I'm mad I don't have relations like they do ;)

Anyways loving the reviews, glad to see people finding it funny, and keep em coming y'all help me out a lot. On with the show!

I do not own Harry Potter.

Chapter 36: Broken

Ginny's POV

I was lost. I didn't know where I was going, what I was doing, or what I was going to say.

I hate him. I hate him so much. I didn't trust him. I never allowed myself to. But I never would have thought he would pull some shit like this.

I understood he somewhat didn't have a choice. He would have died if he didn't. But what pissed me off even more was the fact that he made it in the first place.

I had to find him. I had to understand why.

I seen the Death Eater's head to the Forbidden Forest. Harry was battling it out with Snape. I saw his ultra blonde hair flash. In had to catch up with him but I couldn't let Harry see me.

I ran down the hill as fast and as quietly as I could. Harry was too preoccupied with Snape to notice me so I ran into the forest.

I heard the cackling of that bitch Lestrange. It took everything in me not to hex her.

I saw Draco again. I didn't know how to get his attention without exposing myself. So I threw a rock at his stupid head.

It connected hard to the back of his head. I hope it cracked his skull.

He looked back. I threw another rock and he caught it. He knew I was there.

He told the Death Eaters to go ahead. He had something he had to do. I waited until I couldn't hear their voices anymore.

I threw another rock right at his stomach. It connected and he doubled over in pain.

"Shit Ginny you can stop that now!"

I came out from behind the tree I was hiding behind. My wand was drawn. I was ready to do some damage.

"YOU ABSOLUTE ASS DRACO WHY?! WHY?!"

"I DIDN'T KILL HIM!"

"YOU LET THEM IN! THEY HURT MY BROTHER! YOU LET THEM FUCKING IN!"

"I DIDN'T WANT TO GINNY STOP SCREAMING CALM DOWN!"

"YOU'RE SCREAMING TOO!"

"FINE!...Fine...Ginny..."

He walked towards me. I backed up until I hit a tree. My wand was still raised and pointed directly at him.

"You could have left Draco. You could have ran away and went somewhere."

"And would you have gone with me?"

"YES! I would have gone with you. Why is that even a question?!"

"Ginny I didn't kill him. I should be dead right now but I didn't know that Snape made a vow that if I didn't kill Dumbledore he would. If I would have known. I would have never done anything. I didn't know!"

"I understand. God I don't want to but I understand. But why are you leaving now?"

He looked at me with tears starting to form in his eyes. He looked ashamed.

"I have to. My father.."

"Is a fucking bitch! Who sets their son up for failure? Who allows their child to do something that would get him killed?! Your father doesn't give a damn about you Draco and you know it!"

"But I have to. My father could hurt my mum because of this. I...I have to protect her. I have to go"

He had a point. I just didn't want to admit it.

"But you're leaving your friends, your school. Me."

"Come with me."

"You know damn well I can't do that Draco. My brother already is upset that I even talk to you. Imagine what my family would say now that this shit has happened and you're the cause of it."

He came close enough that I could smell him. He smelled like smoke and earth and shame. I didn't want anything to do with him but at the same time I wanted everything to do with him. I felt like I needed to save him but I understood he had to be there for his mum. I understood. I would do anything for my mum too.

He put his hands on my waist. His chest was against the tip of my wand.

"I'll come back. Next term I'll come."

"You say that as if you know school will reopen. You don't know that. And even if it did open you don't know if I'll come back."

He looked down at the ground.

"You know I hate you don't you? I truly truly hate you"

"No you don't"

"I don't but I should. I need to hate you"

"But I need you to love me otherwise what else left do I have Ginny?"

"You have your mum."

"I can't kiss my mum like that Ginny"

"You'll never feel these lips again."

He pulled me in and kissed me. I kissed him back. Damn him.

"Don't write me."

"I understand"

"Don't get yourself fucking killed"

"I'll try not to. I'm not this person Ginny. Or at least I don't want to be"

"Go Draco".

He hugged me for what seemed like an eternity but was only mere seconds. Then he ran off into the night.

I found myself backed up against the tree crying. I shouldn't be crying over this man. He was evil. He was bad. He allowed innocent people get hurt and a man to die.

But he was mine.

Harry's POV

Nothing could top this moment as the worst moment of my life. I can't believe he's dead. He's fucking dead! I did nothing!

I knew something was going on with Malfoy I just knew it! He let those fucking Death Eaters into the castle. He apparently was ordered to kill Dumbledore but his puss ass didn't do it. Snape did.

It was always Snape.

Parts of the castle are ruined. McGonagall is in the hospital. Bill got fucked up by that bastard Greyback. Ginny was nowhere to be found.

I had left the infirmary after checking in on Bill and the rest of the Weasleys. Thankfully Bill wasn't doomed to live as a werewolf. And even though his face was horribly scarred Fleur still loved him.

I reached Gryffindor Tower and walked into the common room where I found Parvati and Lavender sitting in front of the fire. When Parvati saw me she got up and ran into my arms. I was relieved that she was safe.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes love, I'm fine. Physically."

Parvati looked at me with hurt in her eyes. I had to look away.

I took her hand and headed towards my dorm. I just wanted to be alone with her. And she understood.

When we got into my dorm I walked over to my bed and sat down. I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like i failed everyone. I just stood there and watched him get murdered. I did nothing.

Parvati came over, stood in front of me and ran her fingers through my hair. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into me, my face buried in her stomach.

I cried. I cried as she continued to run her fingers through my hair and whisper soothing words to me. "It's going to be okay." "Cry all you want." "I love you"

I didn't deserve her. I didn't deserve to feel the happiness that she was making me feel right then.

"It's my fault. It's all my fault."

"Don't say that Harry. It wasn't your fault"

"Yes it was. I stood and watched an innocent man die. I did nothing."

"You could have died too. This was not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself"

"Why are you so good to me?"

"Because I love you. Simple as that."

I looked up at her and smiled. She bent down and kissed my forehead. I pulled her down further and kissed her lips.

She sat down on my lap straddling me and the kiss deepened. It seemed totally selfish to be snogging in a situation like this but it seemed as if both of us needed this.

I lifted her up as I stood lips never leaving hers. I laid her down on my bed. Her hands playing with the hairs on my neck. My hands on her cheeks holding her face in place.

I didn't know what I would do if I didn't have her in my life.
