Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.



A/n: This is my first attempt on a Ginny and Draco ficcie. I hope you like it. Please do not flame me, I'm a rather fragile person on the matter of writing. Here begins the story of two star crossed lovers thrown between the hatred of both their families, they match the muggle tale of Romeo and Juliet. However, their lives might not end it tragedy but it still brings dark and misguided trouble to their relationship. :D Enjoy!





* The beginning*



The Hogwarts school ground was as usual welcoming. In fact, it was too welcoming for the students. Students from the 2nd year to the 7th year came out from their special horseless carriages. In their own houses, they walked through the Entrance Hall and into the Great Hall where the feast was about commence right after the Sorting ceremony was done. 4 long tables signified 4 houses, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. The teachers were busy talking amongst themselves just the same, the students as well.

In the Gryffindor table, sat the three most famous students in the Hogwarts, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and of course, the boy who lived, Harry Potter. The three sat talking to each other about their past summer. This year was going to be their last year in Hogwarts but this story is not about them. This story is about the person who's been their shadow for the past 5 years and how she ended up falling in love with the enemy of her family.

Meet Virginia Weasley or Ginny, the only girl in the Weasley siblings. She was the youngest and the brightest kid in the family. She had grown throughout the years and she did blossom into a rather attractive witch. She had straight red auburn hair and her dark hazel brown eyes complimented her features. She was about 5'7, tall and beautiful. Nonetheless, her wits and her appearance tend to be hidden with her self esteem. She was shy and timid. For the last few years, she had been in love with Harry Potter but now, she had no longer had the same feelings for Harry anymore. She thinks of him just as a friend. Like Hermione, she tends to hide away in the library where it was her solitude. This year, Ginny was made prefect just like Harry and Hermione. She had received a letter earlier along with a prefect's badge from Professor McGonagall. She remembered how happy she was when she received it.



"Students, I am happy to see you all again. Now, without any further a do, let the feast begin", Professor Dumbledore, Hogwarts' Headmaster announced.

When he clapped his hand twice, the food appeared on the table on the gold platters. Ginny helped herself with some food while she listened to her best friend, Chante Millhouse talk about her obsession over one of the Hufflepuff 6th year boys, Carl McPherson. Ginny suddenly felt someone looking at her from across the table. She thought that it was impossible, who would want to look at her from a Slytherin table. Ginny looked up and she met a gaze from the one person she definitely did not expect to see. It was none other than Draco Malfoy.

Classes had ended marking the last day of the week, Friday. Ginny and Chante walked out from Professor Snape's class, Potions. Like usual, Snape tormented his students by giving them assignments on potions and he wanted it done by Monday. Ginny and Chante groaned at the sound of assignments. For some bizarre reason, being a 6th year student, pressure was beginning to fill Ginny's mind with a lot of stress. She had many major assignments and it was only the third week of school. School work wasn't the only thing in her mind though, something else was as well. For the whole 3 weeks of school, Draco Malfoy has been stealing glances of her and he even resorted to not tease her when they cross paths. Ginny felt strange that this had happened. She told Chante and Hermione about it but they weren't much help because they couldn't stop giggling. Ginny and Chante headed towards the Quidditch field to see Harry and the other Gryffindor Quidditch players practice. Then, they met up with Hermione who was sitting on the empty spectator's box.

"Hello Hermione", Ginny greeted.

Hermione looked up and smiled. She was actually reading a rather thick book called 'Sorcery and Archery of the Animagi'.

"So, are they going to practice?" Chante whined, looking down at the team members.

Ginny looked down and saw her brother along with Harry and the rest of the team. For some amazing reason, Ron Weasley made it as team beater and had joined the team. Ginny knew that Harry was made Gryffindor Quidditch captain as well as Head Boy. His position complimented Hermione's position as Head Girl. Ginny had noticed something between Harry and Hermione; they seem to be hiding something from everyone. Ginny didn't ask because she knew that Hermione would have told her if she wanted her to know.

"I think the Slytherins are here as well to practice", Chante said.

Instantly, Ginny looked down at the group of people in green and silver uniform. Immediately, she spotted the blonde headed stud who was the leader and captain of the team, Draco Malfoy. She felt the insides of her stomach fluttering.



"Oh, the Slytherins and Gryffindor are having a practice match. Madam Hooch will be their referee", Hermione said, still reading her book.



Ginny watched in anticipation. Madam Hooch released the Snitch and the bludgers before releasing the quaffle. Both teams mounted on their brooms and started to play the game. Usually, Ginny would only come to the practices to see Harry but this time, she was looking at someone else. She watched as the blonde stud flew around trying to spot the Snitch. The keepers went to their post and guarded their posts. The beaters went around beating the bludgers, smacking them whenever they could. Harry was flying around as well and by the looks of it, he had managed to see the Snitch. Draco had managed to see it as well. The two guys were heading for it at the same time. The Snitch was bright enough to fly up high. Both guys headed for it with top speed and followed it. The Snitch continued to fly higher and then it dropped low. The two Seekers headed for the Snitch and threw themselves to catch it. However, Harry managed to catch it and summon his broom to aid him but Draco didn't. Draco fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

"Draco!" some of the people from Slytherin shouted, running towards his unconscious body.

Harry hovered down to the ground to check on Draco. Ginny gasped, her hand flew over to her mouth covering it. Subconsciously, she ran down to the fields. Chante and Hermione shouted after her but she didn't listen. All she knew was that she needed to know whether Draco Malfoy was alright. She ran down to the fields only to see that Madam Hooch had gotten two Slytherin boys to pick Draco up to take him to Madam Pomfrey. All of a sudden she felt worried over Draco and him being injured was making her feel burdened. 'What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way about someone like Draco?' she thought.



* * *



It was past midnight, Ginny was still awake. She was worried about Malfoy. News has it that he's still unconscious from that bad falling spell. She had the whole night to think about why all of a sudden, she had cared for him. Her mind began to play tricks with her. Sure, he had been looking and staring at her. He had even stopped insulting her whenever they crossed paths. All she wanted to know was why he was doing all those things. Quietly, she crept out of her room and put on her invisibility locket, the one thing that she had inherited from her ancestors. Her mother had given it to her when she turned 14, in case she needed any assistance. Ginny made her way to the hospital wing to see Draco. She didn't know why she did it, but she just did it.

She walked through the halls and straight to the hospital wing. Being a Malfoy, Draco was in a private room. Luckily, Madam Pomfrey was no where to be seen. Ginny followed the signs that said 'private quarters'. Surely enough, she found Draco's ward. Quietly, she crept in. She was greeted by Draco's sleeping form. She could see that he has a few bruises from his injury and his head was bandaged. She took off her locket and looked at him. She sighed. There sleeping in front of her was Draco Malfoy, 6'2, blonde, grey eyed, nasty and mean. He was cold and of course, mean to her all the time except for the past few weeks. She still wanted to know why. Ginny summed up some courage to go up to him and touch his forehead. For some reason, she felt right doing that. She touched his skin where the bruises are and brushed her fingertips on it gently.

"Malfoy, why are you treating me differently? Do you know that you are confusing me?" Ginny said, closing her eyes.

Then, she felt someone's hand clutching her hand.

"I never thought I'd see the day that you would come to see me, Weasley", a voice said.
