AN: yes! I got another chapter up! Go me lol. Oh right disclaimer. * Clears
throat dramatically*
Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, not even the plot!! Well it was my own idea but I'm sure plenty have done it before me :o)
The Masquerade
The day ticked by very slowly. For Ginny that is.
Since breakfast that morning, she had seen nothing to Draco. He hadn't been there at lunch, and she had heard from The Dream Team that he hadn't been at potions that afternoon. At first she had been a bit anxious about what Draco thought about the letter, but now she was downright worried. Why had had he missed lunch and potions today? Had anything happened to him?
A couple of Slytherins passed her study table, talking quickly and quietly. Ginny strained her ears trying to hear what they said, but she only caught few words. ".Draco.disappeared.that's what I heard .Pansy's devastated she thinks its her fault, she was the last one to see him." the Slytherins moved away and Sally Ann swept over to Ginny's table. Knocking Ginny out of her thoughts.
"What did I miss?"
"Right professor Snape wanted us to write an essay about concealing potions but I can't find it in any book. I've searched the entire library." Ginny said. All thoughts of Draco knocked out of her head by the more immediate problem. Sally Ann sighed
"Well I'll help you search the rest" Sally stood ready to use the rest of the evening looking for one stupid book.
"Wait, I have a better idea." Ginny said. "Why don't we just ask Hermione?"
"Ginny, I can't believe you would think that way! Its cheating Ginny and you know it."
"But."
"No buts and even if we did ask her she would never tell us."
"Sally, I meant that we ask her about where the book is" Ginny said, with a small smile on her lips.
"Oh, well the lets go find her."
They left the library heading for the common room. Hermione would definitely be there. Reading, no doubt.
Í guess Draco has to wait until later' Ginny thought.

Draco had left breakfast early. He wanted to get ready or potions. It was after all, his favourite lesson. But as he entered his dormitory he found an owl perched on his bed. He recognized it immediately as his father's owl. 'Great' he thought sarcastically 'right when I am in such a good mood he has to go and ruin it.'
Draco took the letter from the owl and sat down on his bed and started to read it.
Draco Why haven't you answered any of my letters? It is extremely rude and I will not have it. Here we are sending you letters and packages, using OUR free time, and what do we get in return? Not even a single letter. You better not act like this towards the Dark Lord on your initiation. (Draco scowled, 'great just what I need, to be reminded that I have no power over my future and have to spend my it sucking up to a lame excuse of a wizard. Why couldn't Voldemort just see that his days where over? One of these days Potter is gonna knock him of that stupid throne of his.') Be grateful that he even wants you. I don't know what he sees in a stupid little brat like you. Study hard and do try not to embarrass me. Lucius Malfoy
Draco sighed deeply and threw the letter into the fire. Now he had more things to worry about then Virginia Weasley.
He grabbed his cloak and headed out the dormitory. In the common room he stumbled upon Pansy Parkinson. 'Oh dear' he thought,
"Oh Draco there you are, I've been looking for you since breakfast. We better hurry up, or we'll be late for potions." Pansy grabbed his arm and started to pull him towards the exit. Draco glared at her and pulled his arm from her grip roughly.
"Fuck potions" he said and stormed out the Slytherin common room, leaving Pansy staring after him.
He stormed out of the castle and headed towards the Forbidden Forest. He knew a place deep within where he could have his peace and quiet.
He followed the narrow paths that wound its way between the thick groves of trees. He was cursing silently and wasn't really looking at where he was going. He finally reached his secret space, or you should say what he thought was his secret space. He stared around looking wide-eyed at wherever he was. Weeds and bushes were everywhere; the trees were placed in a precise circle opening up to the sky. There were well-used paths that lead in a straight line into the middle of the circle. He took a trying step forward, but then heard a twig crack behind him. Before he could react he felt something hard connect with the back of his head. The last thing going through his head was Ginny, and of course the word 'shit'.
~*~
Ginny and Sally Ann had found Hermione in the common room as they had thought, and after Hermione had suggested about seven other books she told them that in fact she had it. By the time they had finished their essay it was dinnertime, and Ginny couldn't help to think if Draco would be there.
AN: I know I know I'm mean, but I finally got the chapter up didn't I? At least that's something right? Anyway hope you enjoy :o) oh and plz R+R
