A/n: Hello people! *I always begin with that* There's nothing much to write except for well, things are looking a bit random here. This is the part where things would be more explained. Read and review, ok? Love you guys so much!
*continuation*
"Professor! She was not supposed to be this weak at this timing! She should not have felt the effect of her power! You said you binded her powers so it wouldn't hurt her!" Draco yelled.
Draco had sent Ginny to the hospital and went to inform Professor Dumbledore after that. Draco was angry and he was worried. Dumbledore had told him about how her energy and power can drain the life out of her as Voldemort had already set a spell on her, waiting for her powers and energy to be its peak.
*Flashback*
"She needs to be protected, Mr. Malfoy and you will be her protector", Dumbledore said.
Draco was beyond furious.
"Why?! She's a Weasley and I'm a Malfoy! I don't protect her!" Malfoy protested.
"Mr. Malfoy, you have got to understand her situation. She is in great danger and she needs you the most in this. Your source with you father is the key of Voldemort's actions. With you being around to find out about his actions, you can make it easier to protect the girl", Dumbledore said.
Draco sat on the chair, sighing. Dumbledore was explaining hard out.
"You also have to understand that the girl is important. She had been cursed with a Death Eater spell. I can only bind her powers from peaking but I cannot stop it from happening. If her power peaks, she will have the Dark Mark on her arm, showing who she is. When that happens, she will start killing innocent people with her powers. She will be powerful for three days as she kills. Until she has killed the 100th lives, she will not stop at anyone's command. Her powers will be so powerful that she won't even need her wand. After she has done that, Voldemort will find her and take her body away from her soul, making her a spirit in haunting behind the hoods of the Death Eaters", Dumbledore explained.
Draco felt cold shivers down his spine. He felt sorry for the girl. After Dumbledore had finished explaining, Draco agreed to his task.
*end of flashback*
"I told you before, Mr. Malfoy and I will tell you again. I can only bind her powers but I cannot control her well being. If it is true that her powers had started to grow again, it only means one thing and that is that Voldemort has risen. He is ready to make her energy grow and let the spell take its course", Dumbledore said.
Both Dumbledore and Draco stomped to the Hospital Wing as soon as possible. Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall were already there by Ginny's bedside. Draco seemed even more worried to see Ginny's face pale. Dumbledore gave both Snape and McGonagall a look and they both nodded to him. It meant that they have both combined powers to lower down her energy to prevent her powers to reach its peak. The two left for the 'Safety Drill' tasks around Hogwarts that was going on that night. The second task was just beginning. Draco didn't want to go back to his group as he wanted to stay until Ginny woke up. Dumbledore allowed him to do so.
"Mr. Malfoy, you look after her now. She needs you to explain to her what and how her power is powerful. She needs to know the truth and no one else can give it to her but you and yourself only", Dumbledore said.
Draco watched as Dumbledore left him alone with Ginny. True, she needed to know the truth. It was something that she must know because she was fragile in more than one way. Her so called friends have over casted her so much that she didn't know what she was worth. He felt sympathy for her but he also felt love for her.
He reached out for her hand and stroked it gently. For some reason, he felt right doing that as it was comforting her as much as he was comforting himself. Things have been crazy lately. His father had come for him the other day and trashed him senseless. She was there for him when he needed to talk to her. Things were not going well between the two families but it worked out at the end which was a good step. He had fallen even more in love with her and even deeper than he could ever feel for a person. Things felt right as much as it felt wrong.
He watched her face and noticed that she had begun to move a bit. Slowly, he saw her eyes fluttering open. He smiled as his eyes greeted hers. She looked to weak to do anything but smile.
"It seems like we've been in the hospital a lot, huh?" Ginny said, in a weak voice.
Draco chuckled.
"How are you feeling?" Draco asked.
He still had her hand in his. He gently kissed her knuckles and rubbed the back of her hand in a circular motion to comfort her.
"Weak and terrible. Two in one", Ginny replied.
"Weak and terrible? Interesting combination, I've got to say", he chuckled.
"What's going on with me, Draco? Does this have anything to do with the power I have in me?" Ginny asked.
Draco looked deeply into her eyes, knowing that he can't lie to her. He nodded. Her eyes seemed shocked and she seemed so vulnerable.
"What is it? Tell me", she pleaded.
Draco took a deep breath and explained the deal about her powers and how she had gotten it. She listened to him explain everything. She took every single strength she had to control her tears from falling down her cheek as she hear about the blasted spell that has been casted on her. Draco could tell from her expressions that she was trying really hard not to cry. She was upset to know that she had a blasted life coming towards her.
"That's what's going to happen to you if I don't protect you, love", Draco said.
Ginny started crying tears. On instinct, he gathered her in his arms and held her close to him. She cried hard on his chest, muffling something about how life can be so cruel to a person who has already have more bad luck in life than good. Draco didn't know what else he could have done than to hold her and kiss her forehead. His chin lay on top of her head. In tears, she snuggled up close to Draco, wanting his attention, his love, his heart, his warmth and all of him.

Hogsmeade was filled with Hogwarts student in the middle of the little town. Students walking around with their friends and of course, a large sum of money in their little leather bag which they carry around with them. Draco and Ginny were also there, walking hand in hand to shops, looking for items that they wish to buy. They spotted Harry and Hermione on the way and waved at them. Harry and Hermione both thought that Ginny was finally happy even if she was going to face even harder challenges later in her life.
For the week, things have been remaining the same. Ever since she found out what she was worth, she had been feeling rather strange. Draco has been there for her all the time. He walked her to classes, accompanied her to anywhere that she wanted to go and of course, even stayed with her in her chambers when she needed him the most. Dumbledore had granted them the permission to stay in each other's chambers with a special pass saying that Draco is only protecting Ginny.
The rest of the Gryffindors had begun to accept the inter-house couple. They even started to think that they were actually a really cute couple. It was true though. He matched her real well. His sleek blonde hair matched her red fiery auburn hair. His grey eyes softened at her brown eyes and their height matched perfectly well. Colin Creevey even had a picture of them taken, personally by him. It was a really good portrait picture of the couple. Draco had his arms around her waist and she hand her hands on his. Their smiles brought a nice feeling towards the picture. They each had a copy of the picture to keep for themselves.
Draco had a surprise for Ginny. He took her to a rather hidden shop in Hogsmeade. It was a shop known only to the wealthiest Wizards and Witches around. He had personally ordered a silver necklace and a locket to accompany it. The locket had a flower on it which was beautifully decorated by sapphire stones and diamonds. Inside the locket, the words 'You are my world & I love thee' were engraved to it. The locket was also specially charmed with a protection spell. It served two purposes, to protect her and to tell her that he loved her more than anything in the world.
When Ginny saw the locket, she didn't know what to say. Her heart felt so overwhelmed with joy that she just gaped at the locket. Draco put it on her and she looked at her reflection in the mirror which smiled back at her with a wink, approving the look.
"Draco, I can't accept this. This is just too much", Ginny said.
Draco hugged her from behind, nuzzling her neck.
"Please accept it, Gin. I want you to wear it all the time because I want you to know that you are loved, all the time by me and with this locket, I give you my solemn promise that I will be here to protect you as long as I can", Draco whispered into her ears.
Ginny felt a tear trickled down her cheek. Draco wiped it away and lightly kissed her on the lips, telling her that it was alright. Ginny kissed him back with a bit of passion and joy. Draco smiled when they both pulled away.
"I don't know what you did to me, Draco Malfoy but you have got me down on my knees", Ginny whispered.
"You're not the only one down on your knees, love. I am as well, more than you can ever imagine and think about", Draco whispered back into her ear, gently brushing his lips on her ear lobe.
* * *
"So tell me Gin, how are things with Draco coming along?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know, it's good I guess", Ginny answered, blushing.
Chante, Ginny and Hermione were in the spectator's box at the Quidditch fields. The girls were having a lazy afternoon sitting and chatting about things there while the boys were playing Quidditch. There wasn't any class on Sunday so the students just had their own time and relaxed. Most of the students are either in their own rooms or somewhere else in Hogwarts.
The girls managed to deal with some more catching up on chatting when Pansy Parkinson and a bunch of Slytherin girls came towards them. Ginny, being the first to notice them stood up immediately. She knew that Pansy and her had a score to be set clear. It was known that Pansy had always been interested in Draco ever since he took her to the ball in Fourth year.
"Weasley! I challenge you to a duel between us. Winner gets Draco, loser steps aside", Pansy said, with a rage of fire in her.
Ginny was not afraid of her. She stood her ground and gave her a smirk.
"I'll be there at the Dueling table on the 2nd floor of the South wing, tonight", Ginny said, calmly.
Pansy and her gang turned their heels and walked away. The deal was done and the fight was on. Hermione and Chante were quite shocked. They never knew that Ginny had such a spark in her to stand up to Pansy Parkinson, the one gossip queen who can bring one down easily with her tongue.
* * * *
"Malfoy!" someone shouted.
Draco turned around to see Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley with him. He was on his way to the fields where things were happening and interesting instead of his own room.
"Why, fancy meeting you two here, what's going on?" Draco said.
"We were just wondering about some stuff and we would actually like to find out from you", Ron said.
Draco hung his head to the side. Then, the three boys walked to one of the classrooms. Harry and Ron looked concerned and they wanted answers from Draco regarding Ginny.
"Malfoy, what exactly is wrong with my sister? Why do you have to protect her so much?" Ron asked.
"For one Weasley, your sister's life is in danger whether you know or not. She's been cursed with a spell by none other than Voldemort himself. I'm surprised that she hasn't said anything about this to you yet", Draco said.
Ron and Harry waited for Draco for an explanation. Draco looked back at them blankly. Then, he told them about the things that are going to happen around Hogwarts. Ron's face fell into a concerned expression. Harry was just absorbing the information. It was strange to Harry that for once, he wasn't going to play hero anymore. Nevertheless, he offered his help. Draco accepted it saying that they might have to do some planning to make sure that they will be ready when disaster strikes.
"Still, you need to give her at least some attention, Weasley. You have not been helping her at all by trying to protect her from things that she will eventually find out about", Draco said.
"Well, it's a bit too late now to pay attention to her know that you are with her", Ron said.
"Nothing is too late, Weasley. You can still give her the attention she needs, just don't smother her with it", Draco said.
Ron looked at Malfoy with a strange look on his face.
"I still can't believe that you're the one telling me how to treat my sister. Nevertheless, thank you for everything that you have done for her", Ron said.
Draco gave both Harry and Ron a nod. Then, he turned to leave. He walked through the many hallways and met up with Professor Snape, his godfather.
Malfoy my boy, what a nice day to see you moping your pale self in the halls of Hogwarts. You should be outside!" Snape sneered.
"Maybe you should apply the rile to yourself, Professor", Malfoy snapped back
Snape smirked at his godson and Draco replied the favour. The two walked side by side talking about the current things that are happening around Hogwarts and in the Wizardry world. Snape was almost the father that Draco had never had in his life. Snape tried hard to protect Draco but because of the law, he wasn't able to. Draco had confided in Snape a lot and he had also told him about his task to protect Ginny but he didn't tell him about their relationship. Still, Snape would have been blind to not know about it.
"I have seen and heard about your relationship with the Gryffindor girl, Malfoy. I must say excellent taste. However, I must ask. Do you really love the girl? Is she what you really want? Is she really worth that much to you?" Snape asked.
Draco felt a bit angered by Snape's sudden questions on his choice of actions.
"Yes, she is! She is all that I've always wanted and she is the only thing that keeps me alive today. You of all people should know how much I care for her if I'm willing to protect her with my own life from my father", Draco snapped, anger filling him.
Snape looked at his godson and smiled. He patted Draco's shoulder.
"If she is, then I'm glad that you have found the person that you love, Draco. Be careful though, things can change very quickly. Danger is approaching and I know that you can feel it too. She owns your life as much as you own hers", Snape said.
Draco felt a bit awkward towards Snape. Then, Snape turned around and walked.
'Just to let you know, Draco. Ginny Weasley and Pansy Parkinson are having a wizard's duel in your name at the South wing. If I were you, I would be there", Snape said.
That left Draco a bit stunned. Ginny? Duelling? This he had got to see.
* * * * *
"Did you hear? There's a duel at the South Wing between the Parkinson girl and the Weasley girl"
"Why are they fighting?"
"Didn't you hear? Pansy wants Draco but Weasley already has him"
"This is going to be so exciting! Two girls fighting for a guy"
"Who do you think will win?"
"I'm putting 5 galleons that the Weasley girl will win"
"I'm betting the same for Parkinson"
"That Malfoy guy must feel privileged to have 2 girls fighting over him"
"He doesn't have only two girls fighting for her, he has practically the whole entire female population swarming over him"
On the way to the South wing, many students were talking about the wizard duel between Ginny and Pansy. The teachers were aware of this but they didn't stop it. Professor McGonagall became the referee of the duel. Some of the teachers were even there to watch the event. The duel between Pansy and Ginny was the first female wizard duel ever to happen in Hogwarts.
Almost the whole was there, watching. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Chante were not being left out either. When Professor McGonagall got on the table, she called out for the two girls that are about the duel. Ginny and Pansy went to their own sides and got up on the table. Both girls were warned about the rules. They walked up to the middle, held their wands up, flicked it down and turned around, walking 5 steps away from each other. They turned around and held their stances.
"At the count of 3, you will start the duelling", Professor McGonagall said.
"One.."
"Two.."
"Three..."
"Theara Armessa!" Pansy shouted.
"Colicious Cerssa!" Ginny shouted.
Both of the girls had sparks coming out from their wands. The energy coming out from the wands were great. Two gold power strokes appeared and hit each other in the middle, creating a fusion between the two powers. Ginny was not going to let the energy power be fused again. Pansy sent another energy ball to Ginny, causing Ginny to fly across the table and fall. Ginny quickly stood up and had her wand by her side. She yelled out another spell and a huge blast of energy came out from her wand, sending Pansy to spin and fall flat on her face. Blood was coming out of Pansy's forehead. She didn't look please.
"You're going to pay for that, Weasley!" Pansy shouted.
Ginny couldn't be bothered listening to her.
"Consciousa Phelliassa!" Ginny shouted.
A dark bluish energy came out of Ginny's wand in a form of a wave. It swept Pansy, slammed her hard on the table and sent her to one of the walls. Several gasps were heard in the room. Pansy laid motionless on the ground, groaning in pain. Professor McGonagall got to her and announced Ginny as the winner of the duel. The whole room cheered. Ginny felt exhausted with the amount of energy she had put to knock Pansy out.
Ginny got off the table and made her way out of the room. She wanted to rest, she was tired. She could feel that Draco was there watching her duel, she felt his presence in the room. She wanted to see him but she couldn't find him. She knew that if he wanted to see her, he would have came to her chambers. The crowd parted for her as she walked. As she made her way slowly to her room, she felt someone following her. She turned around but she saw no one. She walked again, this time a bit faster. She managed to see a shadow following her. She turned around with her wand pointed to the figure that was following her.
"Gin, it's just me", Draco said.
Ginny put down her wand.
"Gosh Draco, don't scare me like that", Ginny said.
Draco put his arm around her shoulder as they walked to her chambers.
"So tell me, how does it feel to have 2 girls fighting over you?" Ginny asked.
"It's good. It was nice seeing how you became so aggressive over that girl", Draco answered.
They reached her chambers. She said the password and the portrait swung open. They both got in. Draco motioned her to lay on her stomach so that he could give her a massage. She did so and laid on her stomach with her head on the pillow. Draco set his hands to work. Using his thumb, he moved in circular motions on her back,
"That feels really, really good", she said, moaning slightly.
"It does, doesn't it? How about this?" Draco said.
He took of her robe to reveal a nice black halter top. His hands went on massaging her back as he leaned down, kissing her back. She moaned and shivered, feeling the touch of his lips on her back. Then, she turned around and pulled him down towards her. She kissed his lips and he kissed her back. She placed her hand on his chest, feeling the hardness of it. Her hands went lower down to his fine abs and touched it all over. Draco groaned as he felt her fingers touching it lightly.
After a hard making out session, they laid together on the bed, finger intertwined and bodies pressing against each other. She felt his warmth on her back as one of his arms dangled around her waist. She felt a nice feeling of flutter in her heart.
"Draco, thank you", she said.
"You're welcome, love" Draco said.
They knew that danger was approaching as the days past. Still, by being together, they feel like a part of the have been comforted and things will be as it is. The most important thing at the moment was being together in each other's arms for comfort, for protection, for care and of course, for love.

"Professor! She was not supposed to be this weak at this timing! She should not have felt the effect of her power! You said you binded her powers so it wouldn't hurt her!" Draco yelled.
Draco had sent Ginny to the hospital and went to inform Professor Dumbledore after that. Draco was angry and he was worried. Dumbledore had told him about how her energy and power can drain the life out of her as Voldemort had already set a spell on her, waiting for her powers and energy to be its peak.

Hogsmeade was filled with Hogwarts student in the middle of the little town.

Snape was almost the father that Draco had never had in his life. Snape tried hard to protect Draco but because of the law, he wasn't able to. Draco had confided in Snape a lot and he had also told him about his task to protect Ginny but he didn't tell him about their relationship. Still, Snape would have been blind to not know about it.
"I have seen and heard about your relationship with the Gryffindor girl, Malfoy. I must say excellent taste. However, I must ask. Do you really love the girl? Is she what you really want? Is she really worth that much to you?" Snape asked.
Draco felt a bit angered by Snape's sudden questions on his choice of actions.
"Yes, she is! She is all that I've always wanted and she is the only thing that keeps me alive today. You of all people should know how much I care for her if I'm willing to protect her with my own life from my father", Draco snapped, anger filling him.
Snape looked at his godson and smiled. He patted Draco's shoulder.
"If she is, then I'm glad that you have found the person that you love, Draco. Be careful though, things can change very quickly. Danger is approaching and I know that you can feel it too. She owns your life as much as you own hers", Snape said.
Draco felt a bit awkward towards Snape. Then, Snape turned around and walked.
'Just to let you know, Draco. Ginny Weasley and Pansy Parkinson are having a wizard's duel in your name at the South wing. If I were you, I would be there", Snape said.
That left Draco a bit stunned. Ginny? Duelling? This he had got to see.
* * * * *
"Did you hear? There's a duel at the South Wing between the Parkinson girl and the Weasley girl"
"Why are they fighting?"
"Didn't you hear? Pansy wants Draco but Weasley already has him"
"This is going to be so exciting! Two girls fighting for a guy"
"Who do you think will win?"
"I'm putting 5 galleons that the Weasley girl will win"
"I'm betting the same for Parkinson"
"That Malfoy guy must feel privileged to have 2 girls fighting over him"
"He doesn't have only two girls fighting for her, he has practically the whole entire female population swarming over him"
On the way to the South wing, many students were talking about the wizard duel between Ginny and Pansy. The teachers were aware of this but they didn't stop it. Professor McGonagall became the referee of the duel. Some of the teachers were even there to watch the event. The duel between Pansy and Ginny was the first female wizard duel ever to happen in Hogwarts.
Almost the whole was there, watching. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Chante were not being left out either. When Professor McGonagall got on the table, she called out for the two girls that are about the duel. Ginny and Pansy went to their own sides and got up on the table. Both girls were warned about the rules. They walked up to the middle, held their wands up, flicked it down and turned around, walking 5 steps away from each other. They turned around and held their stances.
"At the count of 3, you will start the duelling", Professor McGonagall said.
"One.."
"Two.."
"Three..."
"Theara Armessa!" Pansy shouted.
"Colicious Cerssa!" Ginny shouted.
Both of the girls had sparks coming out from their wands. The energy coming out from the wands were great. Two gold power strokes appeared and hit each other in the middle, creating a fusion between the two powers. Ginny was not going to let the energy power be fused again. Pansy sent another energy ball to Ginny, causing Ginny to fly across the table and fall. Ginny quickly stood up and had her wand by her side. She yelled out another spell and a huge blast of energy came out from her wand, sending Pansy to spin and fall flat on her face. Blood was coming out of Pansy's forehead. She didn't look please.
"You're going to pay for that, Weasley!" Pansy shouted.
Ginny couldn't be bothered listening to her.
"Consciousa Phelliassa!" Ginny shouted.
A dark bluish energy came out of Ginny's wand in a form of a wave. It swept Pansy, slammed her hard on the table and sent her to one of the walls. Several gasps were heard in the room. Pansy laid motionless on the ground, groaning in pain. Professor McGonagall got to her and announced Ginny as the winner of the duel. The whole room cheered. Ginny felt exhausted with the amount of energy she had put to knock Pansy out.
Ginny got off the table and made her way out of the room. She wanted to rest, she was tired. She could feel that Draco was there watching her duel, she felt his presence in the room. She wanted to see him but she couldn't find him. She knew that if he wanted to see her, he would have came to her chambers. The crowd parted for her as she walked. As she made her way slowly to her room, she felt someone following her. She turned around but she saw no one. She walked again, this time a bit faster. She managed to see a shadow following her. She turned around with her wand pointed to the figure that was following her.
"Gin, it's just me", Draco said.
Ginny put down her wand.
"Gosh Draco, don't scare me like that", Ginny said.
Draco put his arm around her shoulder as they walked to her chambers.
"So tell me, how does it feel to have 2 girls fighting over you?" Ginny asked.
"It's good. It was nice seeing how you became so aggressive over that girl", Draco answered.
They reached her chambers. She said the password and the portrait swung open. They both got in. Draco motioned her to lay on her stomach so that he could give her a massage. She did so and laid on her stomach with her head on the pillow. Draco set his hands to work. Using his thumb, he moved in circular motions on her back,
"That feels really, really good", she said, moaning slightly.
"It does, doesn't it? How about this?" Draco said.
He took of her robe to reveal a nice black halter top. His hands went on massaging her back as he leaned down, kissing her back. She moaned and shivered, feeling the touch of his lips on her back. Then, she turned around and pulled him down towards her. She kissed his lips and he kissed her back. She placed her hand on his chest, feeling the hardness of it. Her hands went lower down to his fine abs and touched it all over. Draco groaned as he felt her fingers touching it lightly.
After a hard making out session, they laid together on the bed, finger intertwined and bodies pressing against each other. She felt his warmth on her back as one of his arms dangled around her waist. She felt a nice feeling of flutter in her heart.
"Draco, thank you", she said.
"You're welcome, love" Draco said.
They knew that danger was approaching as the days past. Still, by being together, they feel like a part of the have been comforted and things will be as it is. The most important thing at the moment was being together in each other's arms for comfort, for protection, for care and of course, for love.
