A/N: Wow that was morbid hu? Well things will hopefully get interesting in
this chapter cause they have been going kind slow. I know the chapters are
really short but would you rather read a really long chapter and be sitting
for hours reading one chapter, or would you rather have a nice short
chapter, so you can remember what happened at the beginning of the chapter
by the time you get to the end?

Ginny look around the hallways and even asked around but no one knew where Draco was. She was about to give up.
"Hey, you're looking for Malfoy?"
Someone tapped her on the shoulder and she looked up at the tall 7th year. She remembered that this girl was in Slytherin and knew Draco well, Ginny knew that they had even gone out a one time. She could see why, the girl was pretty with wavy brown hair and one blond streak coming down the right side of her face accenting her deep chocolate brown eyes. She was curvy and slender, graceful would be the way to describe her. But she didn't think it was possible to find a girl in Slytherin that hadn't gone out with Draco, except maybe the first years.
"Yes, I am."
"He always heads up to the astronomy tower to think. I always check the roof of the tower when I need to talk to him."
"Oh thanks."
"Leann, you're that Weasley girl aren't you?"
"Yeah, Ginny."
"Your brothers Fred and George were a hoot, to bad they graduated they really made the school interesting."
They laughed and Ginny thanked Leann for helping and made her way to the tower.
~*~*~
Draco was cursing trying to think about anything but the past. His father was dead now. Dead. He didn't know if he was supposed to feel sad or even happy. He didn't feel anything, nothing at all. It was like a big hole where the feelings for his father should be.
"Malfoy?"
He heard a soft voice behind him. He turned and saw the wave of red making it's way toward him. She had had a hard time trying to find a way up to the tower, but eventually she found a hidden stair well.
"What do you want Weasel? I'm not in the mood."
"I don't know how to say this.but."
"If you don't know have anything to say then leave."
"I."
"What."
"I had a dream last night."
"Wow this was going to be harder than I thought." She said to herself inside her head. She came closer to him and sat down next to him.
"Did I say you could sit?"
"Did you see me asking?"
God he hated it when she had the last word. She had learned to talk back to him over the years that he made fun of her in Hogwarts, but now that his father was dead he didn't see any point in picking on people anymore.
"It was about you."
"And?"
He replied coldly. He didn't need this right now he needed to think.
"It was about your sister."
Draco stood up and looked at her strangely.
"I don't know what's wrong with you Weasel but you don't know what you're talking about. I don't have a sister."
He couldn't move he wanted to walk away, to grab her and shake her till she told him how she knew about his sister.
"You don't have a sister. But you used to."
Ginny stood and walked over to Malfoy and put a hand on his arm.
"No."
He said softly, and she could feel him softening.
"I'm sorry."
"You don't, no, you couldn't. How?"
He looked at her and fell to his knees bringing her down with him. She keeled down next to him still facing him and she watched as his face usually expressionless twisted into horror.
"I don't know."
She stammered and he took Ginny's shoulders. There was a pleading look on his face.
"I could have stopped him, I could have saved her life."
"No Draco, don't blame yourself. You were eight, he was much bigger than you, you couldn't have stopped him if you tried."
"I should have tried."
"He would have killed you to."
He shuddered and she held him. He buried his face in her neck and she stroked his hair. It was a very motherly gesture but it was something Draco had never experienced. He shivered each time her fingers trailed down the back of his neck and back up into his hair. He didn't cry. He hadn't cried since that episode and he didn't plan to start now.
"He's dead now he can't hurt you."
Draco let the words sink in. She was right he couldn't hurt him now. Never again. He then jerked away from her gasp and she let out a little gasp at the sudden withdrawal.
"What would you know about it Weasley? You've always had a perfect childhood, no body ever hurt you. You wouldn't know the half of it."
Ginny lowered her head and didn't say anything. She looked very pretty he noticed, like a sad picture, an old painting. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He never felt anything what he felt now before, a wave of emotions washed over him. Hate, he hated this muggle-lover. Sadness, he didn't know why she was crying, was it for him? No one had ever cried for him before. Happiness, some one cared, no one had cared about anything he did. Love, he loved her and he didn't know why.
"I do, I know."
"What are you talking about? I'm sure the only problem you've had is lack of money."
Why was he being so mean all of a sudden? She had actually believed he was showing signs of caring.
"Your wrong, so very wrong."
He looked at her and tears were spilling on to her red cheeks. He wanted to go to her and have her hold him again. He wanted to kiss her and he wanted to take away the pain that he knew he had caused.
"I can't talk to you about it."
She said and she ran off, back down the stairs and into a room and down some more stairs. She could hear Draco behind her. She ran out of the tower and down a hallway. She ran up a staircase and then a sudden jerking motion caused her to fall. She saw Draco jump from the ledge were he stood, where the stairway had connected and onto the stairs. He was beside her now breathing hard and everything was blurry because her tears clouded her vision and stung her eyes.
"Damn it Weasley."
He gasped breathing hard.
"I'm sorry, I just don't. I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
He used the corner of his robes to wipe the tears off her cheeks and from her eyes.
"I went looking for you to comfort you and now it's the other way around."
"I don't need comforting."
He said almost laughing at her kindness.
"Look the stair case is stopping."
The stairs had stopped moving and it had deposited them in a strange hall way neither had been before.
