A/N: Sorry it's taken me song long to get this one up but I've been so busy with school I haven't really had time to do any typing. Luckily I had written the 11th and 12th chapters in a notebook so all I had to do was type them up. So anyway here's the story....
Chapter Eleven
Ginny's fear
The sun rose slowly over Hogwarts sending cascading rays of light over Draco's pale face and making his light hair glint in the light he had been waiting for hours to see. He hadn't been able to sleep the whole night as usual. He had woken around 3 and had been sitting on the top of the highest astronomy tower thinking of anything or anyone who came to mind - mostly Ginny. He wondered what she was dreaming of; hoping it was him she thought of every night. He gazed at the lake, more specifically at the spot he had seen Harry and Ginny talking. He thought he had seen Harry try to kiss Ginny. He felt a surge of anger at the thought that Potter could have kissed his Ginny, his one true love. Draco felt his cheeks burning upon thinking these types of things.
'Father wouldn't approve.' He caught himself thinking. Why did he always have to care what his father wanted? He never knew. 'I could really care less what father thinks.' He scoffed to himself.
"Thought you'd be up here." A soft but friendly voice said in his ear.
Draco turned around quickly to see Ginny less than 3 inches from him. At 5'7 she was quite a bit shorter than him. She only came up to his shoulder. "Ginny! What're you doing up here so early. It's only" He looked down at his watch. "5 am." He finished.
"I know what time it is, Draco. But I also know that my bed feels a bit... empty without you in it with me." She said flirtatiously. She had a sexy smile on her face that only Draco had seen.
"Well then... we could fix that easily but your Gryffindor friends well... they don't like me much. Especially Potter and friends. Your brother would probably attempt to strangle me if he caught me in your bed."
Ginny admitted he did have a point. "Ok then let's just go for a walk down by the lake." She threw a cautious glance over the edge of the tower which Draco quickly noticed.
"Scared?" He asked with a touch of amusement in his voice.
"No..." Ginny said shakily while looking once more over the edge at the ground below.
"Yes you are..."
"No I - yes I am. I don't like heights especially this high."
"Knew you were scared but nothing's gonna happen to you up here while you're with me." He took her hand and pulled her gently over to the steps so she wasn't near the edge anymore.
"Draco?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you so nice when you're around me but such an jerk around everyone else?"
Draco thought for a second. "I've never thought about that... I'm not sure."
"Ok." She said wondering if she should try to find out more about his past now.
As if he could read her mind he quickly changed the subject. "Let's go for that walk now shall we?"
"Sure..." She agreed almost reluctantly because she couldn't help but feel he was hiding something big from her.

'How can I just stand here and watch this? Why is he so nice to her? Why does she smile at him like that?' Harry thought as he watched Ginny and Draco talk. He had followed Ginny wearing his invisibility cloak hoping to catch her alone somewhere that wasn't the common room or a hallway.
He clenched his fist when he watched Draco take Ginny's hand and lead her down the stairs.
'Why am I so... jealous all of a sudden? He could never keep her. Not if I have any say in this. Now all I need is proof he isn't the person he pretends to be. I know he can't be nice. It isn't possible. Once I get proof he's a liar and an asshole Ginny will come back to me.' He knew somewhere deep inside that this wasn't true. He didn't care. He just wanted Ginny away from Draco and he wanted to be the one to break them up.

A/N: I was reading over this entire story yesterday and found a few mistakes one major one was back in chapter six where it says "She honestly thinks you could curse?" It's supposed to say "She honestly think you could curse me?" Ok that it for now other than something that may have confused a few of you in the last chapter. It says Harry never kissed Ginny and yes he did back in chapter one but he doesn't count that because it was on a kiss on the lips and she pulled away. Ok I'll shut up now so you can read the next chapter.
