~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Are you sure that you are feeling ok? I mean, are you really sure?" Draco asked, he had been pacing the length of the closet for at least an hour. Ginny rolled her eyes, she felt completely fine, and she had been telling her that for a while now, but he just would not listen, it was really beginning to get on her nerves.

"Draco, will you sit down, I am ok, I am not sick" Ginny cried, exasperated. He just shook his head at her.

"You look sick" He replied worriedly. Ginny couldn't help but smile slightly at his reply.

"Gee, you really know how to make a woman melt" She muttered, running her hand along her forehead. True, her skin was warm, but she didn't feel sick. Ginny was just hungry and tired and thirsty, se had not eaten in a very long time, that was why she was feeling lightheaded.

"But you would tell me if you were sick, right?" Draco asked. Ginny groaned out loud and rested her head on the wall behind her. She was growing sicker and sicker by the moment, not because of any physical strain, but because of Draco and all of his worrying. It was really pissing her off, her mother didn't even worry this much.

"Yes, I would tell you, now, will you sit down and calm down. I am not feeling sick, I feel fine ...." Ginny tried to explain, but was cut off by Draco talking, well, more like ranting.

"Are you sure, I mean, it has been a while since you have eaten anything and you look weak. Maybe you should try and get some sleep, or maybe I should start yelling again. They might hear us this time" Draco began, Ginny groaned.

"I feel fine, why won't you just listen to me?" She asked him, but it didn't even seem like he had heard her ask the question. He was still nervously pacing.

"Just get some sleep ok" He commanded.

"Is that an order? Gee, looks like I just gained another father" Ginny mumbled.

"What?" Draco asked, finally waking up to the conversation again.

"I said that I don't need you getting all fatherly on me. How about you just worry about yourself for a while huh?" She snapped. Draco looked offended, he was only trying to help.

"What is your problem now?" He cried. Ginny sighed, was he really that stupid before that he couldn't see she was angry at him. Who did he think that he was, treating her like that?

"I can look after myself, I don't need for you to tell me if I am feeling sick....if I was sick, I think that I would be the first one to know about it" Ginny told him.

" Are you sure that you are ok, because that was the quickest mood change I have ever seen some one take...are you sure that it is not that time of the month or something?" he asked. As soon as the words left his moth, he immediately regretted it. He saw the trademark Weasley temper flash across her face before she stood but and shoved his shoulders.

"How dare you..I thought that you were different" Ginny yelled, and this time she began to pace. Draco watched her, letting her pace before reaching out and grabbing her hand. She pulled it away harshly.

"Let go of me, leave me alone!" She exclaimed.

"Listen, I am sorry about what I said, it was way out of line" he began

"I'll say it was out of line" She muttered.

"But I am not going to apologize for the rest of it. I think you should sit down and relax, get some rest" Draco told her. Ginny just glared at her. Did he really think that just a small apology like that was going to change anything, he was still ordering her around like she was a little kid.

"You think so do you? Well, do you know what I think? I think you should mind your own damn business. I thought you were different.." She repeated again, mainly to herself.

"I am different" Draco exclaimed "You know I am different"

"No, you are not, you are just like all of the other men in my life, you are just like my father, just like Ron, Just like Harry..." Ginny began.

"Now that was harsh Gin!!!!" he exclaimed.

"Don't do that, don't shorten my name like that, you have no right to do that.." She replied. Draco just shook his head at her.

"God, what is your problem, and don't say that you don't have one. I am sorry for the comment, and I guess I am willing to apologize for thinking you are sick, even if I know I am right...." He started, Ginny groaned and began pacing again.

"What makes you so sure you are right? What makes you so sure you are right about everything?" Ginny yelled. Draco just looked at her, unsure how to answer. "You are so damn self assured, you can walk along, strutting your stuff like you are gods gift to the universe, not letting any one see the real you, but guess what Draco. You are going to get really lonely really quickly. You seem to live that the best way to live is not to live, not to experience. What makes you think that is the right way to live your life. What makes you think you are doing everything right? I hope that one day, years from now, you wake up and realize that you fucked up." Ginny yelled, she had no idea what she was yelling at him for, but it all just seemed to be flooding from her mouth.

"Oh, and I suspect that you are just perfect?" He asked, growing angrier with her by the second.

"I never said that I was perfect" She yelled. "I know I am not perfect, but at least I am willing to share my imperfections with others."

"What ever ok, What ever, you have this mentality where you are all 'share the pain' and all that crap, but what if one day you realize that your friends could care less about your pain, your family doesn't give a rat's ass about your pain. What are you going to do when you wake up to yourself and realize that your night in shining armor could care less, because he is off with some other chick. Then what, who are you going to share it with then?" He asked harshly, Ginny just glared at him.

"You are a heartless bastard" She growled.

"I am a realist" He replied.

"You are a death eater" She accused. Ginny recoiled, thinking that he was going to slap her.

"Now I get to say that I thought you were different." He said, ripping up his sleeves to show her his bare forearms. "Have you listened to nothing I have said while in here?"

"Would it make any difference?" She asked. He just glared.

"You know what Ginny, I no longer care, let me have it, launch into which ever preach you want to, because I don't care, yell, scream, abuse me all you want, because deep down inside, I know I am right. Deep down inside you are just a scared little girl crying for your mummy, or crying for Harry to swoop down on his freaking firebolt and rescue you. It will never happen, and you know I am right" Draco told her.

Ginny was over taken by the enraging urge to hurt Draco, physically and mentally. But he was twice her size, with big broad shoulders and strong arms. He could very easy hurt her with out her doing any damage. She would just have to settle for hurting him mentally.

"At least Harry would have gotten us out of here by now" She yelled.

Draco growled, and made an advance on her. Ginny thought wildly for a second that she had overstepped the bounds and that he was going to attack her.

He grabbed her shoulders, and moved her to in front of the door.

"If you have enough energy to scream at me, then you have enough energy to scream for help" He told her, and then moved to sit on the floor. "Don't just stand there Weasley, start yelling"

"Oh wow, another order" She replied.

"No, not another order, but just remember, according to you, I have nothing to live for, no one will care if I die down here" Draco replied.

~*~*~*~*

"Wait, can you hear that?" Harry asked, stopping Ron and Hermione from going much further down the hall. They all stayed quiet, listening.

There was some one screaming for help and banging something against a door.

"This way" Ron replied, taking off down the hall, and then skidding to a halt out side of the storage closet.

"Ginny" He yelled.

"Ron, Ron is that you, Peeves locked me in here with Malfoy, you have to get me out of here" Ginny replied.

"Ginny, it is ok, we will get you out, I promise" Harry replied. Ginny smiled. She would finally be out of the storage closet and away from Malfoy.

The sound of a lock turning over echoed blissfully around the small room. She toppled out of the now open doorway and landed in Hermione's arms.

"Thank Merlin you found me" She mumbled into her friend's cloak "I don't know how much longer I could have stayed in there with him"

"Are you ok, did he hurt you?" Harry asked. Ginny shook her head.

"No, but I just want to get the hell away from here" Ginny replied. The others nodded.

Hermione, who still had her arms around Ginny, slowly began to walk away from the closet.

Ginny looked over her shoulder. The boys had gone to wake up Malfoy, who had fallen asleep on the floor. Ginny watched as Malfoy stumbled out of the closet, down the hall, and out of her life.

It felt so good, and yet, she felt a part of her die.
