I'm so sorry but I might not update for awhile because my parents have taken away my computer. Please don't ask why. I will hopefully get it back soon so I can post the next chapter for you.

Anyways I now bring you chapter 3. Sorry that chapter two was a bit crummy but I had a semi writer's block so it was kinda hard to put that together. Anyways here is chapter three, and I tried to make it longer to interest you guys. Remember to review!

How does she make me feel this way? Draco thought, one stormy day. Ever since the beginning of the year Miss Ginny Weasley occupied a big part of his mind. What would father think? Draco sighed, they both lived in different worlds, and there was no way both those worlds could be together.

Father. He had tortured Draco to make him as bitter and cruel as possible. Lucius Malfoy trained Draco to be a Death Eater. But Draco didn't want to be. For years and years all Draco wanted to do was earn his father's approval and maybe even his love. He soon discovered that Lucius couldn't care more for him, all he wanted was for Draco to become a Death Eater, a faithful one at that, and a son to be proud of. In Draco's later years, he was proving to be more difficult to control. He started to grow rebellious but of course Lucius wouldn't have it. He brutally beat Draco. The only reason that Draco didn't turn out to be his father was his mother.

Mother. She was kind and gentle. Her only goal was to protect Draco from the horrors and cruel experiences he would have if he became Lucius. Draco didn't realize this though. He only wanted to please his father. He cared deeply for his Mother but his father always came first. Narcissa Malfoy came from a dark family such as the Malfoys. The Blacks were very experienced in the dark arts. Narcissa was more like a family rebel. She wanted nothing to do with the dark arts. Of course she was forced to marry Lucius, whom she didn't love. They bore a child, Draco, and Lucius raised him to be exactly like himself. But Narcissa couldn't bear to see Draco turn into him like that. She tried to stop Lucius but the only result was her death.

Lucius savagely beat her at the end of Draco's fifth year. Draco never had a chance to say goodbye to his mother. This was a huge changing point in his life. He started to hate Lucius. Hate were the only feeling that were produced towards his father. He wanted nothing to do with this man. But of course he had no choice.

Voldemort had big plans for Draco. Ever since he first heard of the child. He knew that Draco would be a powerful and faithful death eater to have on their side. Draco was going to get the mark on his graduation, as a present from his father. Draco found out in the summer after his fifth year. He didn't want the mark at all but he knew that if he refused he'd be killed. Voldemort was the only reason that Draco was alive. If he hadn't had such big plans then his father would have already killed Draco.

Ginny. In her first year the Dark Lord had used her. Draco felt much sympathy for her because he knew what it felt like. She felt trapped. Lost. Confused. All this he knew. He wanted to be there to comfort her. But he knew it would never be. They were both trapped in different worlds, two that could not be combined. No one noticed poor Ginny. She was always left in the dust. No one knew her fears; no one knew what she felt. All except Draco. Draco had noticed her long before anyone else had. He noticed her before the famous Harry Potter. He noticed her when she came out of the Chamber of Secrets unscathed. At first Draco was pleased that she got out alive but yet angry that his father failed. At that time Draco's father was his idol, his role model. But now Draco's hate for the man increased. He could do nothing. Draco wished only to avenge his mother's death but he knew that now was too soon. If he did he would be killed for sure by the other Death Eaters or if not the Dark Lord would do it himself.

Draco felt absolutely no love for his father. It just didn't seem right. In fact he felt no love for anything. Given Draco's past, Draco had no idea what love was, or what it felt like. As a child he was blinded from such information. He learned that love and kindness just made you weaker. He tormented the dream team continuously to "show off" his power.

Blaise Zabini was the closest thing that you could call his friend. But they weren't the kind of friends you shared secrets with; he was just more of a companion. The Zabinis were a wealthy family, all purebloods. They were in high ranks with Lord Voldemort, as were the Malfoys. Both families were highly respected.

Draco was lounging in his usual sofa, reading a book about the dark arts. The dark arts really fascinated Draco, and growing up with them just encouraged Draco to study them more often. But Draco wasn't really reading. He was rather thinking about Ginny, who kept slipping into the blonde slytherin's head.

"Malfoy," said Blaise calmly, taking the seat beside Draco.

"Zabini," Malfoy acknowledged the dark haired boy.

"What are you reading? Another dark arts book perhaps," asked Zabini. Draco just nodded without looking up. Blaise laughed, "Draco when will you ever get your nose out of a book? One would certainly think you are in love with them."

Draco looked up, "I am not in love with a book if that is what you would like to know."

"Oh Drakey pooh," cooed Pansy Parkinson, making her way across the common room towards Draco.

"And what would you want Parkinson?" Draco said coldly.

"You know what I want Draco," she cooed, "you of course."

Blaise snorted at this. Everyone in Slytherin knew that Draco hated Pansy but Pansy just refused to believe it.

"Do you know what I want?" asked Draco without emotion.

"Me?" asked Pansy quietly.

"No, I want you to sod off Parkinson. I don't have enough time to deal with, you," Draco added distastefully.

Blaise looked at the startled Pansy with an amused smile upon his face.

"But, but," Pansy stuttered, "Draco, surely you would like me to stay."

"I said, SOD OFF!"

Pansy looked hurt, but slowly walked off into a crowd of comforting girls. Blaise laughed, and Draco took no notice, he just went back to his book.

Ginny gasped, and then quickly clasped a hand over her mouth. She grabbed Veronica's hand and led her behind a statue. They could see Snape and Malfoy walking down the hall, talking about something. There was a slight bit of fear in their voices, which Ginny could barely make out. What were Snape and Malfoy doing down here? She asked herself, completely forgetting about her visit to the headmaster.

Veronica shifted uneasily. "What're we going to do?" she asked Ginny as silently as she could.

"Stay still and just listen until they're gone," Ginny whispered back.

"How could he have been here?" Snape asked, talking more to himself than Draco.

"I don't know. But I thought the Dark Lord had other plans. Wouldn't coming to Hogwarts be very dangerous to him?" asked Draco.

"That's what I thought, but yet we can't be sure he was really here. I mean our only witness is Miss. Weasley," replied Snape.

Ginny let out another gasp, this time louder. How did they know? How could the Dark Lord be here? A hundred questions rushed through Ginny's mind.

"What was that?" Snape hissed.

"I don't know," said Draco looking around quickly.

"You should go back to your common room now Malfoy." It was more of a command than a request.

"Yes Professor," said Draco while walking rather quickly towards the Slytherin tower. Snape turned around and walked back to his office, not looking back.

When the coast was clear, Ginny and Veronica came out. "What was that all about?" asked Veronica with a hint of fear in her voice.

"I don't know," said Ginny quietly, "Come let's go back."

"What about talking to the Headmaster?"

"I can do that some other time." Ginny really didn't feel like visiting the headmaster now, she wanted to go to bed and think it over quietly by herself. Dragging Veronica along with her, she swiftly made her way back to the common room.

Ron didn't mean to yell at his sister like that; it's just that she got him so worried sometimes. Ron groaned and got up out of bed. It was a Saturday and Ron was glad that he would get time to sleep in. Ron got dressed quickly and slapped a sleeping Harry on his arm.

"Time to get up mate," said Ron, "Breakfast will be served soon." Harry groaned too and slowly rolled out up bed. Ron went out of the dormitory and met up with Hermione who was sitting on the couch reading her book. Harry came too shortly after.

"Ready for breakfast boys," asked a sleepy Hermione.

"Yeah let's go," said Harry.

At breakfast Ginny refused to look Ron's way. Instead she kept stealing looks at the blonde slytherin when she thought no one was looking. Ron saw Veronica shake Ginny while asking her something. Soon after he saw both girls get up and leave the hall. Ron thought to follow them but Harry rested his hand on Ron's arm.

"Ron she's old enough, she doesn't need you watching her like a hawk," said Harry. Ron returned to his food and was silent for the rest of the meal. He left early and went to the common room. He needed some time alone to think.

What did Harry mean? I'm not watching her like a hawk! Ron kept thinking, he didn't notice Hermione come in, followed by Harry.

"Ron honey, what's wrong?" asked Hermione, sliding in beside Ron. Harry just went straight to his dormitory, not even saying hi.

"It's Ginny," Ron began, "I mean she's acting strange lately. And Harry keeps telling me that she's old enough to look after herself. All I want to do is protect her Hermione, but she keeps pushing me away."

"Ron, maybe Harry is right. I mean Ginny is growing up and she can take care of herself," replied Hermione slowly.

"Oh, so now you're on Harry's side eh? Well I have something to tell you, I DON'T CARE!" said Ron angrily, striding violently out of the common room leaving a crying Hermione behind.

"Class you are dismissed," said Professor McGonagall. Ginny picked up her books and got ready to head to Potions. "Miss Weasley I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Yes professor?" asked Ginny as she approached the desk.

"I have heard from the other professors that some strange things have been happening, am I correct?"

"Um…" Ginny didn't know how to answer this, "I guess so…" She finally said a bit hesitantly.

"I see, now I forbid you from walking anywhere alone after classes. You are to have a friend accompany you or if not, a professor. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Professor," squeaked Ginny.

"Good, you may go now," said the Professor.

Ginny picked up her books and scurried off to potions hoping that she wouldn't be late. As she was running she didn't notice what was up ahead and ran smack dab into someone's chest.

"Weasley you have to watch where you're going! This is the second time this week," muttered a distressed Malfoy.

"I'm sorry I didn-" Draco clasped a strong hand onto Ginny's mouth and dragged her into an empty classroom, looking around cautiously. Ginny was doing everything she could to get away but Draco was too strong. Finally Draco let go and shut the door. Ginny wanted to scream but instead yelled, "And what do you think you're doing Malfoy! Explain!"

"Sorry, I just needed to warn you about something," Draco spoke very quickly, while constantly checking over at the door. "Whatever you do you, you cannot wander out alone. It is too dangerous these days."

"But why?" said Ginny confused.

"Because," Draco looked very stressed, "because, well I just can't tell you!"

"And why not?" said Ginny patiently. Backing away as Draco drew nearer.

"I just can't Virginia." With that he leaned in to kiss her when the door crashed open to reveal a furious Ron.

I feel like I'm on a writing spree! It only took me one day to write this (smiles happily). I'm so sorry I left you at a cliffy but I just couldn't resist! And as I promised this chapter had a lot more action to it.  And to throw in an extra bonus, I made this chapter almost twice as long as the others. The chapters will get longer, as time goes on. And ideas keep on popping into my head. I know exactly what the ending will be. I've already pictured it. So having said that please review! You won't regret it (grins)

Thank you all to my faithful reviewers. And please if you have any suggestions or questions then put them into your review and I will answer them in the next update.
