Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter would I be writing fan fiction? I didn't think so! And I don't own the title either, it's a Goo Goo Dolls song! The chapter title however, was my very own creation.
A/N: this story is mainly written in Draco's point of view, and a little bit of Ginny too. Possibly some of the other characters also but I can't make any promises.
All Eyes on Me Chapter Two The Many Faces of Draco Malfoy
Draco woke with a start. Sweat was dripping down his face and his shirt was sticking to his chest. He'd had that dream again, ever since school started three days ago he'd had the dream every night without fail, and every morning he'd wake up covered in sweat.
. It's dark out, probably around midnight, and he's walking through the Forbidden Forest, the dark trees are surrounding him, he doesn't know where he's going, just deeper and deeper into the forest. He hears a soft crunching behind him but he doesn't stop, he won't look back, he can't. He just keeps walking deeper and deeper into the forest and he doesn't know why, all he knows is he can't stop. Out of nowhere he feels something grab his right arm. He can feel his heart pounding like it's going to rip through his chest at any moment. He looks over and there's a gloved hand on his shoulder. Just as he turns to look at the person's face he wakes up.
"Why does it always end there?" Draco asked himself. "Is this a premonition, is someone after me?" All these thoughts were running through his head and were beginning to make him panic. "I'm overreacting, it's just a dream." He said to himself and decided to put it out of his mind.
He rolled out of bed and walked over to the window. He gazed out onto the dark, shadowy Hogwart's grounds for a few minutes. For the first time in his life he really looked at the school. It was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen, and the dark of the night gave it a mysterious air to it. Everything that he went through last summer really made him think about life. He stood there reminiscing about the past summer for a while when the rest of the Slytherin boys started to wake up. Had he really been awake for that long, staring out the window? Simultaneously with the other boys he dressed and went down to breakfast.

Draco walked into the Great hall with the rest of the Slytherin boys. He automatically looked at the Gryffindor table and found Ginny. She was sitting with some girls from her year. One of them looked at Draco and mouthed something to Ginny that he couldn't understand. The tips of her ears turned pink and she quickly looked at Draco and looked away. He wasn't even sure she was looking at him. It was probably some Gryffindor standing behind him. She would never feel for him the way he feels for her, not as long as he was a Malfoy.
The rest of the meal was very uneventful; he made small talk with some other Slytherin's, practically had to fight Pansy Parkinson off with a stick, and even then she kept making googoly eyes at him from across the table, and took quick glances at Ginny whenever possible. Meanwhile whenever Draco wasn't looking at Ginny she was looking at him.
"Hey Ginny, snap out of it" Ron said tapping his sister on the shoulder.
"Wha…what Ron?" She asked still in a daze.
"You've been staring over there for the past ten minutes" he said motioning toward the Slytherin table. "He said.
"So what, I was thinking" she responded, getting a little cranky that her brother was pumping her for information.
"I know what she was looking at" Ginny's friend Lucy said. "And I have to admit he's kind of cute"
"He?" Ron and Harry both said at the same time. Though Ron meant it in a "nobody's touching my little sister" way, and Harry was a little disappointed that it wasn't him she was looking at.
"Hey wait," Harry thought to himself, "I don't have any feelings for Ginny, she's Ron's little sister, she's like my little sister" "How can I like her now, after all these years" "It can't just suddenly happen, can it?"
"Harry?" Ginny asked, "Are you alright, you look kind of tense."
He jumped slightly at the sound of her voice. "Yeah I'm fine"
"Are you sure because you don't look it?" She asked, concern in her voice.
"I said I was fine" he snapped as he rose from his seat next to Ron. He walked out of the great hall, not even answering Ron or Hermione when they asked him where he was going.
He walked back to the Gryffindor common room and immediately went to the seventh year boys' dormitory. Quickly checking the time he realized he had twenty minutes to pull himself together.

"I wonder what's eating him?" Draco thought to himself as Harry got up and left in a rush. "I hope it's something good"
