The fated ones
Chapter 1- Christmas Break
Draco stared out the window of the slytheran common room. Large snowflakes fell heavily covering the grounds in a fluffy white blanket. The sun was just setting and the holiday feast was about to begin. Soon after that everyone would load the train and head home for Christmas, Everyone except him.
Slowly he put his robe on and headed towards the great hall. This was starting to be one of the worst Christmas' he'd ever had. The only person who would be here would be that little weasley prat who had escaped Voldermort all because of Harry Potter.
Not that he favored the dark lord, infact he despised him with every fiber of his being. It was his father who insisted that he 'ready' himself for Voldermorts return. But draco had a mind of his own, which he would demonstrate to his father if needed.
And then there was Potter and his two annoying friends who had accused him every time something bad happened. He still didn't understand how it ended up that weasley would be here all alone with him. It made no difference as long as she left him alone.
Draco was in his 7th year and Ginny was in her 6th. So far she hadn't bothered him so he had no reason to believe she'd start. Of course no one was around to stop her, infact even dumbledore was going away for the holidays. He couldn't figure out which was worse, not talking to anyone for two weeks or making conversation with her out of sheer boredom. He supposed he could torment her to no end for entertainment but after a few days or so it would get boring. And then what? Back to square one. Reaching the great hall he decided to put his thoughts to rest so that he could enjoy the last time around normal people for the next two weeks.

Ginny sat across the great hall at the gryffindor table surrounded by mountains of food and....well nothing. She was on the very end of the table all alone with no one to talk to. That's the way it had been all year, and the year before that, and the year before that all the way to her 1st year. She'd never had any friends at hogwarts. Now that she thought about it all she'd ever had was herself and her poems.
It had never bothered her before but lately she had become quite bothered by the fact. She'd started feeling lonely a few days ago when she saw that mostly everyone else at school had someone to talk to or cuddle with. She'd never been in love but she felt that love was the only thing that she wanted right now/
Ron had immediately taken a liking and by 3rd year they were dating. Harry had fallen for another gryffindor named Jessica Boid. She never liked Harry like that she just didn't understand why no one wanted her in a way that was more than friends. She concentrated on her food and tried to stop thinking about herself. She hated being selfish, it made her feel low and cruel. She always tried to think of others before thinking of herself.
Dumbledore wasn't here tonight due to some important business and from what she had heard he wouldn't be back till classes started up again, and that meant no announcements. Soon the feast was over and everyone loaded the train and was on their way home. Slowly she headed back up to the common room. Suddenly she heard a strange screaming coming from the direction of the slytheran common room. She began to run faster and faster through the halls.
Her vision was becoming blurred as she rounded dark corners headed for the stairs . Looking behind she saw no one was following her. Turning around she collided with something solid and went sailing down the staircase she was just climbing. She tumbled down the stairs for what seemed like eternity. She slammed her head into a stone rail and everything went black. She felt herself falling and until she lost all sense of feeling and faded into oblivion.
