A/N; Yes, the third chapter. R/R

Draco stormed into his father's study. Lucius sat on his armchair, looking as spiteful as ever. His cold blue eyes flashed as he shook a piece of parchment in Draco's face.

" What, the HELL is this?" he spat. Draco smirked, " Well, I think it's my report card." SLAP " DON'T YOU DARE USE THAT TONE ON ME, BOY!" Draco's gray eyes narrowed, hating this man who had abused him with every ounce of energy he had.

" This, was your last year to prove that you were better than that mudblood and you do worse than ever? This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!" he roared. It was all Draco could do to keep from strangling the asshole. Lucius took some deep breaths before continuing, " The dark lord won't be pleased with you." Fear flickered in Draco's eyes, as he struggled to understand what he meant.

"Sorry I'm late." He grumbled, glad that he didn't blush. A bunch of faces were staring back at him in awe. Ms. Welch smiled at him, before leading him on to podium.

" Boys, and Girls, this is our new counselor, Mr. Malfoy!" Silence. A few scattered claps were heard, then a loud cat call from the girls snapped everyone to their senses. The girls clapped loudly, continuously, while the boys glared at him, some clapping politely. Ginny couldn't do anything. She felt a slow rage building up inside of her. This was supposed to be a Malfoy free summer!! Just like the other summers had been!

" Gin? You ok?" Alison asked worriedly. She grumbled a 'fine', then got up from the table. She hunched over, so that she wouldn't be noticed, and slowly made her way towards her cabin, a horrible headache coming. She jumped into bed without changing or washing, and tried to fall asleep. She couldn't So, she tossed and turned all night, wondering how she could survive a whole summer with Malfoy.

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

" Yea, I'm worried about her too." A hushed voice said.

" She's been acting weird ever since that hot counselor came."

" Maybe she's sick." Ginny saw 3 figures come into view as she woke up from sleep. She yawned and got up, surprising the 3 girls immensely.

" Guys, thanks for the concern, but I am fine." Ginny murmured. She gave them a bright smile to prove it, and they relaxed. Ginny was really feeling better this morning. Now that she thought about it, she could avoid him. He was just a counselor, he had to behave didn't he?

" To celebrate, why don't we go do something fun?" Ginny suggested. Lena looked skeptical. Alison rolled her eyes.

" Lena, we don't have any classes today!" Marie nodded.

" Let's go swimming, it's a blazing desert out there. Ginny squinted at the sun. It did look hot.

And swimming would take her mind off of things. She agreed, along with Alison and Lena, and they grabbed they changed into their bathing suits.

After slathering on a ton of sun block, Lena pronounced them ready. They grabbed their towel and bounded outside. Ginny felt a wave of nausea as she stepped outside. It was scorching. Wiping a bead of sweat away, she slowly walked over to the lake.

Apparently, a lot of other campers had had the same idea this morning. The lake was full of people, beach balls flying everywhere. Lena groaned. She didn't like big crowds. However, Alison was already stripping off her clothes to show off her bathing suit, tossing her mass of golden curls aside. She was running toward the nearest group of boys, smiling flirtatiously. Ginny decided that the water was too crowded for her liking and she and Lena sat under the shade of a tree. Marie decided she needed a tan, although she was already tan. She stretched luxuriously on a chair and pulled out a magazine.

There were some counselors, looking out for the safety of others, most of them too busy having fun themselves. A lot of the younger male counselors were talking to girls Ginny's age, extreme flirting going on. As she looked around, she was glad to note that Malfoy was no where in sight.

" Ginny, are you listening?" Lena asked. Ginny snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head.

" I was saying, that you needed to get a tan." Ginny frowned, not wanting to move out into the hot sun. She looked at her pale arm, and agreed. She was so glad she didn't have any freckles on her body, just a light, light sprinkle across the bridge of her nose.

Ron, on the other hand, was Freckle Man. His hair was flaming red, a dark blood red, but Ginny's was much lighter, perhaps because she actually got out in the sun, whereas Ron spent his time inside, mooning over Hermione.

People had often told her she looked good with long hair, because it was so thick and curly at the edges, but she was sick of it. It made her look like a little child, which was why she had cut it. It was now at her shoulders, heavily layered. It was no longer curly, but choppy. Although people told her she looked fine, she couldn't help but feel jealous of her friends' looks.

Marie, she was a Spanish beauty. Tan skin, dark hair, and chocolate eyes gave her the 'mysterious' look. Alison was plain pretty. She had curly dirty blonde, gold hair, huge blue eyes, and a small frame. Lena was a brunette. Chocolate brown hair with golden highlights, and deep green eyes, she was pretty also. Ginny felt like the odd, ugly redhead that no one wanted. Sighing, she plopped down on the chair next to Marie, who had fallen asleep. She was getting drowsy, when a loud voice interrupted.

" Ginny! Ginny!" Ginny swatted at whoever was calling her, but she wouldn't give up. She opened her eyes and saw Alison leaning over her, looking very excited.

" Look!" she pointed toward something. Ginny groaned and got up, blinking rapidly and looking in the direction she was pointing at. She was pointing at Malfoy. Ginny growled silently and looked away, gathering her things.

" Wow. He's hott." Alison murmured, looking dumbstruck. Ginny rolled her eyes.

" You're the only one who thinks so." Which was a complete lie. Most of the girls at the lake were swooning over him. Ginny couldn't believe it. If only they knew how much of a pain is the ass he was. Alison frowned at Ginny, " How could you not think he's hot? I mean look at him!"

Ginny was really getting pissed. She narrowed her eyes unattractively and replied curtly, " Look, I'm gonna jump in the water, ok?" Ginny jumped off the chair and jumped into the lake. SPLAT.

Pain coursed through her, and she was suffocating. She was sinking slowly, her stomach wrenching as if about to burst. She tried to swim, to gain strength again, but she couldn't Her vision was slowly blurring and it was getting dark. She was going to die.

Suddenly, a splash was heard, and white light filled Ginny's eyes. A pair of strong hands pulled her up, and finally, she could breathe. She coughed continuously as her rescuer set her on the grass. Breathing heavily, she lay back down. After calming down, she looked up to see who it was that had saved her. A pair of cold, gray eyes stared back at her.

"Learn how to swim before you jump in like that, Weasley." He drawled coldly. He walked away, hushed voices whispering as he did. Ginny shivered. Not because she was wet, but because of Draco Malfoy. His eyes had been so cold, no life in them at all. Not like the way they were before.
