"My summer? Hmph. You don't want to know, believe me." Ginny replied with a sad smile on her face.

"Oh? And why not?" Draco asked with almost real curiosity. 'she was probably loved too much or something stupid like that' And here he was never feeling real love for him his whole life. His parents put him through hell each and every year. He knew Ginny's perfect parents, perfectly poor that is, would never dream of doing even one fifth of what his parents did to him daily. 'She thinks she's got it tough, huh.'

"What Malfoy? You're not hiding your emotions very well at the moment," She said with an almost Malfoy worthy smirk on her face. "You think I don't have any problems? Oh of course not, not me, perfect, shy Ginny. Never. I live the life every person envys. Huh, right."

Draco sat there dumbfounded. How could he be so careless? He never let any one see his feelings, EVER! He really needed to pull his act together before he started to even tell her things. Gods how could he be so stupid? "So why was this summer so horrible for you, weasel?" he said trying to put her back in her place.

"I don't know why I even bother with you, but if you really want to know." Ginny trailed off, unsure if she really wanted Draco Malfoy to hear her personal problems.

"I don't seem to have anything better to do at the moment. So please, Miss Weasley, do go on with your story."

"Whatever. It's just my brothers and the 'dream team'. They are SO annoying!! All summer Ron and Fred and George played stupid pranks on me that weren't funny in the least."

"Oh I'm sure they were." Draco said absentmindedly he could just picture the three goons laughing their arses off at some stunt they pulled and determined little Weasley with a frown on her face. Yes he could call that funny, maybe even hilarious.

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything. I knew you're just a self-absorbed prick!" Ginny yelled, a little more forcefully then she meant to.

"Well let me tell you a little something, Weasel. I have reasons to be the way that I am. Things that you couldn't even imagine. So next time when you want to yell at me for who I am, you might want to think twice. You may think that your family is the worst thing that could ever happen to you, well get a grip on reality. Loads of people would give to have a family like yours." Ginny was taken aback. She had definetly hit a soft spot. What the hell?

"I never said that my family was the worst thing that ever happened to me or anything remotely close to that. I love my family and I'm everything I am because of them, but maybe you'd be just a little furious if you woke up with all of your hair chopped off at different angles, a different color, and spiders crawling in it! Maybe then you'd understand what I'm going through, but you haven't. So shut that little trap of yours." She already felt the tears welling in her eyes. Ugh, she was furious!

"Oh yeah. Well I think I can top your little story, Weasel." Draco said in a dangerously low tone. "Imagine voicing your opinion and having the crutatious curse put on you. Or maybe not getting the perfect grade on one paper and knowing as soon as you get home you were going to get a severe beating? Yes, I think I've blown your little story out of the water. What do you think, Virginia?"

Now the tears were streaming down her face and she couldn't care less. 'That's so horrible. How can he live everyday not knowing what may happen the next day? What new torture he'll have to endure? It's so sad.' And before she knew what she was doing she had Draco in a tight hug telling him everything would be alright.
