Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

A/n: Hi! It's just a day after my 15th birthday: D. I feel happy now! Erm, decided to write up this chapter of 'Your hand over my heart' because I've got an idea running through me. It's pretty ecstatic when you start, it never stops. You guys liked the last chapter didn't you? I've got requests saying I should make Draco say 'I disown my family and I refuse to have anything to do with them'. LOL! Maybe I should but yea, it's up to you to find out. I'm talking too much again, Hehehe. Have fun reading and don't forget to review!

Draco eventually healed. His bone structures were fine and his scars healed slowly as the enchantments from his father was too powerful for Madam Pomfrey to heal. He had felt better after a whole week on spending his time in the infirmary. The best part of being there was that no one to disturb him except Miss Virginia Weasley. Ginny had came over every night to spend some time with him. She always ends up sleeping with him on the bed and leaving at the break of dawn so Miss Pomfrey would not know about it. Other than that, Granger and Potter had came to visit him every now and then to see how he was going

However, the thing that shocked him the most was when Ron Weasley had come to see him, himself. He came to talk to him when Ginny wasn't there. Ron had apologized for his behaviour and told Draco that he will not be the stumbling block that keeps Draco away from Ginny as long as he does not hurt her.



*Flashback*

'Look Malfoy, I know that we have never been on good terms before but I think its time to set our differences aside after all, we are practically on the same side", Ron said.

Draco nodded.

"And for Ginny's sake, I'm sorry for my behaviour the other day. I overreacted. You know how it is to have to familiarize with something out of the norm all of a sudden", Ron said.

"You have no idea, Weasley. Your sister is an amazing person. I don't know how you can just ignore her for the past years. She has grown so fragile. If I were you Weasley, I would pay more attention to her", Draco said, concerned.

"I know and that's where you come in. However, if you hurt her, the Weasley brothers will come after you and mark my words, those hours will be your last", Ron said, jokingly.

Draco chuckled.

"Then, I call upon a truce between the Malfoy's and the Weasley's, to end this ridiculous conflict between our families for the past century", Draco said.

"Truce", Ron said, shaking Draco's hand.

*End of flashback*

Things were definitely looking better for Ginny. After the meeting between Dumbledore and her parents, her parents approved of her relationship with Draco on the condition that they get to know him better. Mr. Weasley apologized to Ginny, telling her that he had only meant to protect her and that any father would do the same for their one and only daughter.

*Flashback*

"Is it true? About what Dumbledore had said about you, Malfoy?" Arthur asked.

Draco nodded and Molly gasped. Ginny was behind Draco holding his arm from behind.

"Oh you poor boy", Molly said, hugging him.

Draco and Ginny were shocked. Draco seemed to relax a bit as Mrs. Weasley hugged him.

"I'm sorry I've been hard on you, Virginia. I only did it to protect you like any father would", Arthur said.

"I know, dad but there's only so much that you can protect me from. You can't protect me from finding someone I want to be with even if it is Malfoy", Ginny said.

Then, Father and daughter hugged.

"Now Draco, I want you with us during winter holidays and I refuse to take no for an answer", Molly said.

Draco nodded his head and smiled.

*end of flashback*



As for Draco, he hasn't heard from his parents ever since he was abused by his father. News has it that Lucius Malfoy had suddenly disappeared and Narcissa is currently running the Malfoy businesses in the wizardry world. The news rose suspicion in Draco's mind. He knew for fact that his mother hates doing business affairs for his father. She never does it although she knows how to, it was her way of rebelling against his father. The fact that his father is missing only means one thing, he is helping the Dark Lord come back to his solid form. That would result to a few things such as Potter getting in danger and things getting messed but this were not any of Draco's concern. His main concern is Ginny. He has to protect her all the way from his father.

The night was awful, filled with anger and noise outside. The rain was pouring and the lightning struck every inch of the castle making it unsafe for students to be outside. Well, not that any student would go out at night anyway. The thundering sound was all over Hogwarts, making the students afraid of the weather. It was the worst storm in years that had ever happened in Hogwarts and it was a school night as well. The professors were called up to Professor Dumbledore's office for an urgent meeting. None of the students know why but they knew that it must have been important to have a staff meeting while all the prefects were in the common rooms looking after the students.

Ginny and Ron along with the other Gryffindor prefects were rounding up the Gryffindor students in the common room to explain what happened. Harry and Hermione were up at the meeting with the teachers and will be down real shortly. It was hard to round the students up as the lightning struck almost every inch of the castle and the thundering noise was eerie. Many students asked about what was going on while others just murmured amongst themselves. The prefects had a hard time rounding all the students up. Then, Ron whistled as loud as he can, gathering all the attention he could get. Once he whistled, all heads looked at him.

"There, that is so much better! Now listen, there is a safety drill tonight. Gather your wands and your cloak from your dorms and line up here according to your years. You have exactly 10 minutes to do so before we leave for the Great Hall for the Professors to guide us", Ron announced.

Once he finished announcing, murmurs broke amongst the students as they went to their dorms to pick up whatever they needed. The prefects were all still standing in the common room, waiting for the students to get back. Ginny, Ron and the rest of the prefects in Hogwarts have been told to bring the students down to the Great Hall at night at 8pm sharp. The students do not know what is going on but the prefects, head students and staff members does. The prefects were warned to make sure they have their wands with them at all time and cloaks as well as they were going to be in charged of a year of student each.

There was a reason to the safety drill and not many people know why. The reason why the safety drill was held was to protect the students and to guide the students if anything bad happens in the castle. Sure, Hogwarts can be the safest place to be in the whole wizardry world but evil and dark powers can slip in without notice every year. Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster refused to take risk so; he has planned out a safety drill and class for this night. All the prefects know where they were going to be sent with their own year students. They knew where and what is going to happen. They were very well prepared for the events and activities that are going to happen.

After exactly ten minutes, all the students stood in their lines in silence. There were occasional murmurs but nothing more. That was when a loud thunder clasped. The lightning struck just outside the room. Screaming was heard at every corner of the room from the students who got frightened. Ginny was one of them who screamed. She had jumped back and leant against the wall as if she needed protection from it. Ron saw her and laughed at her. She blushed at hit her brother as she turned back to the students.

In seven straight lines, the Gryffindor students were lead out of the common room to the Great Hall via the moving staircases. They did not meet up with any other students from other houses because they were set to the timing to arrive at the specific time in order not to clash with the other houses. Once they got to the Great Hall, they all sat on their table. The prefects all sat up at the front where there were special envelopes for each and every one of the prefects to tell them where and who their partners will be.

Ron and Ginny sat down and opened their envelopes as soon as they got it. Ron frowned because he was paired up with a Ravenclaw prefect with a bunch of 2nd year students. Ginny just smiled at her brother while she opened hers and unfolded the note. It wrote:

Ginny Weasley- 3rd year Gryffindor students

Draco Malfoy- 3rd year Slytherin students

Position: Forbidden Forest, Lake and Dungeons.

Ginny smiled and looked up at the Slytherin table where Draco was sitting up straight talking with his other colleagues on the table. He caught her gaze and smiled at her, telling her that he knows that they have been paired up. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Then, she did something she never thought she would ever do, she blew him a kiss. Draco was shocked but he managed to recover his composure and he put his hand out as if to reach out for the kiss and place it in his palm where he kissed after that. Ginny smiled even wider at Draco.

Then, they were interrupted by the Professors rushing up to the staff's table. Some of the staff members were standing around the hall, waiting for Professor Dumbledore to make his announcement. With one swift move of his hand, the whole hall was silent and all of the students looked at him. His eyes were sparkling behind his glasses. He looked serious though with his facial expression.

"Good evening, students. I know that our sudden meeting here today has raised lots of curiosity. I'm sure that some of you might have guessed or been told by your house prefects that you will be having a safety drill tonight and some safety guidelines against the dark powers. It is similar to Defence Against Dark Arts but it is a bit different as you will be allowed for the first time in many years to the Forbidden Forest to experience the danger of being in sticky situations", Professor Dumbledore said.

He paused for a while and is eyes wandered around the hall.

"You will be with your own year housemates along with other house students. You will also be accompanied by two prefects, one from each house. They will be the ones who will be in charge of your safety throughout the night. They will take you to each venue that you need to be at. Each stop is about an hour long. You will be performing activities and you can gain points by doing well in them. Your activities will be monitored by a faculty member at each venue. If you decide to disobey the rules, you will lose points and mind you, you might suffer terrible consequences", Professor Dumbledore continued.

The students started to whisper amongst themselves about it. They were excited and scared as well. Being Hogwarts students, they weren't allowed to wander into the Forbidden Forest unless they were in detentions.

"You will be at three stations in each group. After completing your tasks, you shall come back to this hall and have supper. Prefects, get your students and meet up with your partners before bringing your group to the stations. Till then, have a nice time and beware of everything that is around you", Dumbledore said.

Once he finished, all the prefects stood up and got their group out of the Great Hall. The prefects met up with their partners and got their groups. Ginny met up with Draco and together, they found their group of students and left for the first venue, the Forbidden forest. As they walked their group members started whispering about the two prefects who happened to be the cutest couple in Hogwarts besides Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

"Oh my Merlin, don't you just think they are so adorable"

"I find them so perfect"

"Gosh, I wish that I had a boyfriend like she does"

"They are so lucky"

Ginny blushed madly at the comments made. Draco and she were walking side by side, hands touching as they walked. With the students behind them, they couldn't anything inappropriate.

"Well girls, I'm sure that you will find yourself in a much different kind of relationship than ours", Draco had said, suddenly.

The girls gaped and started giggling. Ginny couldn't help herself but giggle too.

"Well Malfoy, you might have to tell us what kind of relationship you are in with Ms Weasley here", one of the girls from Slytherin said.

Ginny stopped giggling and just when Draco was going to answer, she answered first.

"We are in a serious relationship where two people get close enough to share their lives at that moment and spend almost all of their time together snogging in classrooms where teachers are not in", Ginny said, smiling.

"Ooh interesting. How far have you guys gone?" another girl asked.

Draco smirked.

"Don't you want to know?" Draco said.

"We do actually", a Slytherin girl replied.

Draco walked over to Ginny and dipped her. She was watching his every move and she grinned. After dipping her, he softly kissed her on the lips as his hands snaked around her waist. Automatically, her arms went to his neck and she played with the back of his hair. His kisses were soft and hard and the same time. It might be a show for the students to see but it was still as passionate as ever. When they proved their point, they stopped and grinned at the girls

The Slytherin girl's jaw dropped but the other girls continued giggling. Draco felt proud of Ginny, she had a sharp tongue for snapping when she wants to snap. They continued walking until they reached the entrance to the Forbidden Forest where Professor Crystalia, the Defence against Dark Arts teacher was standing waiting for them with Hagrid. She was smiling her evil smile as usual.

"Welcome to the Forbidden Forest, ladies and gentleman. This is your first task and this is where you start. Get with a person from the other house in pairs. Take out your wand and please do remember your enchantments. There are things in the woods that are dangerous and lethal. Some are pure and gentle but others are strong, armed and extraordinarily dangerous. This is where you are tested in trust, ability and knowledge. If anything wrong happens, make your wand spark red sparks into the air and we will get you out of the forest in no time. I must also tell you that you must not go up to any mischief at all as the forest is at its peak at a full moon on a lightning storm with no rain", Professor Crystalia said.

Just when she had finished her speech, thunder and lightning accompanied each other in scaring the students. Ginny jumped just to be caught by Draco. He chuckled at her silliness. The students paired up.

"Now, your task is to search for three items each with clues that will be on tree trunks. If you come back with the three items first, you will receive house points. We will be here for an hour. If you have not completed your task by the hour, get out of there when we signal with blue sparks in the air", Professor Crystalia continued.

Two by two, the pairs went into the forest to find their clues and to retrieve the items. Draco and Ginny stood with Hagrid and Professor Crystalia. Ginny felt a strange feeling overwhelming her. She held onto Draco for support but he had thought she just wanted to be close. All of a sudden, Ginny felt a pain struck on her chest as the lightning struck in the air. She held onto her chest and fell to the ground, trying to breathe but the pain was just so great. Draco started panicking. He held onto her. Professor Crystalia examined her and saw that Ginny had already fainted.

"Gin! Gin! Wake up", Draco said, with concern in his voice.

Ginny heard nothing but silence. Her mind was blank and the pain still struck her on her chest. She passed out with the face of Draco being concerned and scared for her.
