Author notes: I don't own anything but the plot so ha.

Friendship?

Draco walked down the cold corridor to get to the tower where he had normally met Ginny Weasley. Yeah a Malfoy and a Weasley friends, Draco couldn't believe it either but here he was at midnight going to a tower just to see her.

When he arrived he saw her sitting on the floor next to the window looking up at the stars, she hadn't even noticed him standing in the doorway admiring her. The last couple of weeks Ginny and Draco talked about everything together, well on Draco's side there was one thing he never told her. Maybe because it was about her.

Over the last year Draco had fallen in love with her but he would never admit it to anyone and if he did he would have probably have killed them afterwards. He cleared his throat to get her to look up at him.

She turned her eyes away from the window and gave her his attention. She smiled sweetly at him. That smile made Draco want to just run up to her and smother her in kisses. She stood up and walked over to him and wrapped him into a friendly hug. He hugged her back, but it took all his power not to run his fingers through her hair.

One thing that made Draco mad was he couldn't have her and a Malfoy could get whatever they desired right? Another thing that angered him was every time he tried to tell her his feelings either The Dream team was around or he chickened out and couldn't say it because he was afraid of rejection.

She broke Draco from his thoughts by waving her hand in front of his face. She then gestured that they sit in the blanket she put on the ground for them. They both sat down. She looked at him with her eyes filled with concern.

"Draco is there something wrong?" He was surprised that she asked. He tried to think of something to say but all that came out was, "Nothing why do you ask?" She glared at him and rolled her eyes.

"Because you seem to be in deep thought and you haven't really said anything since you walked in." He smiled at her because he loved it when she was irritated he didn't know why it just excited him to no end.

"It's nothing to worry about." She pushed him.

"Come on Draco I thought we were friends."

"We are." He said sitting up.

"Then why won't you tell me what's wrong." Draco sighed and thought Well it wouldn't hurt if I told her the situation and not the girls name.

"Ok I'll tell you what's wrong as long as you don't laugh!" He said very nervously. Ginny could for some reason tell he was nervous.

"I would never laugh at you." He gave her a look that told her that he didn't believe her.

"I promise I won't." She said sounding as innocent as she could. Draco shrugged and started to explain.

"There is this girl I love and she doesn't know and I have no clue how to tell her."

Draco quickly glanced at her and he thought he saw disappointment in her eyes but when he looked again and she smiled at him as if this was some thing people tell her everyday. "Has she given you an clues if she likes you back?" Ginny asked as she laid back against the wall.

"None at all except for the fact that we are friends. And another problem is she is in a different house then me, and I know my Slytherin friends wouldn't except her." She stared at the ground and looked like she was in deep thought.

"What's stopping you from tell her?" Draco jumped because he wasn't expecting her to talk anytime soon.

"She's always around her friends and her friends despise me. The other reason is my pride, I'm afraid of rejection." He mentally smacked himself he couldn't believe he just basically poured his whole heart out to Ginny.

She smiled weakly and stated. "You know eventually your going to have to choose telling her or taking the easy way out and walk away." Draco nodded and muttered that he knew.

"Come on Draco it shouldn't be that hard." He looked at her.

"Okay you put yourself in my place. How would you feel being a Slytherin and approaching a Gryffindor and tell them that you love them?" He put his hand over his mouth and cursed under his breath for telling her that it was a Gryffindor, which made it worse because Slytherin's were suppose to hate Gryffindor's with a passion.

Ginny looked as if she was in utter shock. Draco turned his eyes twords his shoes so he wouldn't have to look at her. Ginny grabbed his face and forced him to look at her.

"I have a deal, how about tomorrow you tell her and if you don't you'll get smacked." She smiled proud of herself. Draco shook his head.

After about 30 minutes of trying to talk him into it he agreed only because she threatened to destroy his Firebolt. She said that she would make sure that he told the girl. They both heard Filch outside the door and they became silent and after they were sure he was gone they decided that it was time to go to their dormitories.

"Night Ginny see you tomorrow." Draco said as he bent down and hugged her goodnight.

"Night Draco and don't forget our deal." She smiled and walked down the stairs. Draco sighed and thought it's going to be a long day tomorrow. He walked down the stairs as well and then went the opposite direction of Ginny to his common room.
