Title: The calm before the storm

Chapter: 2

Author's Notes: Ok, no reviews as such, but I shan't boo hoo over it!!! This is where the D/G begins, and it may seemed warped and out of character, but this is me and my mind! (FuNky ~*~ PuNk!) But I'm in love and life is great!!…Here's the story

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

What is it about you that make me smile?

And makes my life seem so worthwhile?

I want to jump to scream to shout

I want to be able to take you out

You make my heart skip a beat

Then it flutters like pattering feet

I can't help it that I love you, it's funny

I can't help but love you Ginny

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~

"Malfoy?!" Ginny spat. The tall silver blond boy dropped her hand instinctively.

"Weasel. What were you doing holding my hand?" He drawled.

"You were as scared as me!" Ginny retorted.

"Don't screw your face up like that Weasel, it makes you look even more ugly than you already are," Draco spat. Ginny flounced.

"How can you through insults at me at a time like this? We are being attacked by You-Know-Who, and all you can think about is insulting me. Someone is missing!" Ginny shouted. The 3rd year Hufflepuff whose friend had gone missing was sobbing uncontrollably and calling her name. Professor McGonagall comforted her, though she didn't look comfortable, her stiff neck and stern face showed no emotion, but her hair was unusually scruffy and indicated she was very stressed out.

"You're mistaken. The muggles are being attacked. I'm fine where I am," Draco sneered.

"You disgust me," Ginny breathed. Draco smiled, one half of his mouth twitching, a strand of hair flopped across his face, and for one brief moment a thought flashed across Ginny's mind, ooh, sexy! Suddenly she snapped out of it. Eew, Malfoy? Sexy? You must be joking.

"Thanks," he murmured, sauntering off to find his cronies.

"You poor excuse for a human being!" Ginny yelled after Malfoy's turned back. She stamped her foot, and cursed under her breath.

At that moment a elf ran into the dungeon.

"Headmaster, I've been given the all clear!" He yelled.

Dumbledore nodded thankfully and turned to the pupils, "the danger is over, I would like you all to form two orderly lines and we will leave and go straight to our dorms. Letters will be sent to parents tonight informing them of our situation, a few students will obviously be removed from the school for safety reasons, but for now we are safe,"

All the pupils were relived, and a smile spread across pupils faces, they had come to close to some people they would have rather not come that close to during the past hour. Some people were afraid still, some were happy, some people showed no emotions at all. As the school poured out of the dungeons and up the stairs to the main hall a sight met their eyes. The school had been torn apart, paintings, suits of armour and statues had been flung across the school, things were broken and on fire, chairs had been snapped across walls and the after sound of powerful spells could be heard, a slight sizzling.

Suddenly a scream went from the front of the lines, and shouts of prayer and help for a teacher.

The lines fell apart to reveal what the commotion was like to the back of the line. The girl Michelle was lying on the floor, she was dead. Her blood pooled around her, her eyes were open and staring. Above her, her blood had been used to write a message.

You think you're clever, you know nothing

One muggle down, well there's something

You can hide, and you can run

But you can't stop me from having fun

I'll hunt you down and kill you don't you worry

Mudbloods beware; I will kill and won't be sorry

A scream echoed around the Great Hall, as muggles clung onto friends and cried.

"Yeah, that's right Mudbloods, get out of here," a cry came from somewhere, there was no mistake it was Malfoy, but there was no way of proving it.

Ginny turned to look at Michelle, her 3rd year Hufflepuff friend was being sick, and Ginny turned in disgust, as she turned she noticed Dumbledore, he was standing alone and looking at the floor. She knew what he was thinking, 'he'd failed, a child had been killed and it was all his fault'.

"Everyone to bed!" He called through the multitude of perplexity and panic. But no one responded. He drew out his wand, "firerackio!" he whispered and Fire crackers shot out of his wand, exploding and strident in the Great Hall. The Hall was silenced and they turned to face the Headmaster, "to your rooms, tomorrow lessons are cancelled (students: yesssssss!) So get some rest as many of you will be travelling home I expect," he bellowed. The students reluctantly turned and made their way up the stairs to their dorms.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No one could sleep, least of all Ginny. She lay there, thinking not of the attack but of Malfoy. She knew she hated him, but then why did he have to smile like that at her?

"Hey guys," she whispered to the rest of her dorm, "I'm going to get a drink from the kitchen,"

She got up out of her bed and crept down to the common room. Harry was sitting there with his arm around Hermione who was weeping into him, and then something weird happened. Ginny waited at the bottom of the stairs, hidden by the wall either side of the stairs. Harry kissed Hermione on his forehead, she looked up at him and smiled, slowly their lips came closer together and their lips brushed, then they began kissing. Ginny's breath caught. Hermione was Ron's girlfriend, what was she ding snogging Harry. Ginny could stand it no longer, she thundered down the stairs, the two broke apart on the arm chair and looked at her.

"I was wondering if I could borrow your invisibility cloak," she said coldly, "seeming as though you're my brother's best friend," she looked curtly at Hermione.

"Yeah," Harry said nervously, he got up off the chair and disappeared up the stairs.

"Did-…Did you see?" Hermione asked biting her lip.

"Did I see what?" Ginny asked patronisingly, "you and your boyfriends best friend getting a bit hungry were you? You and your boyfriends best friend, lipsing on an armchair, right underneath him!" Ginny yelled as quietly as she could pointing upwards to the 7th year boys dormitories.

"I don't see your brother, my boyfriend, comforting me when I've just found out I'm in great danger of being murdered," Hermione spat.

"No, so you get off with the boy that survived, maybe that way you'll survive too," Ginny snarled, "but I doubt it once Ron finds out, I'll doubt it if the Boy who Lived, will live any longer,"

"You're not gonna tell him are you?" Hermione asked frightened.

"I'll leave you to do the right thing," Ginny sneered at her. Harry had just come back and had the silver cloak in his hand, he handed it to her and she glared at him.

As the invisible Ginny slipped out of the portrait Hole the Fat Lady shouted lazily, "Who's there?" She didn't know where she was actually going to go. There where numerous amounts of turnings, but none appealed to her. Suddenly she dropped her wand, "Merlin's Beard!" she cursed, turning round to pick it up. But someone had already picked it up. She looked up, a handsome silver blond boy stood there, eyeing the wand.

"Is this yours?" he asked handing out towards her.

"Can you see me?" She asked hesitantly.

"Just because you're invisible doesn't mean I can't see you!" Draco sneered, "Is the wand yours. Well I just have to look at it and know it's yours, tattered and second hand,"

Ginny snatched it out of his hand.

"Testy, testy," he laughed, that laugh, it made her senses go wild!

"What are you doing out here this late?" Ginny asked sitting down by the wall and taking off the cloak.

"The same as you, I think," Draco said turning to walk away.

"Don't leave!" Ginny cried before she could stop herself, "I don't know how to get back," she sighed and looked hard done by.

"Ok," Draco said unsure, came back and looked at her.

And suddenly…The noise…Foghorn and police siren. Ginny jumped up, and Draco caught her. She felt his warm muscular body supporting her and she went fuzzy.

"We've got to get out of here!" Ginny cried, as the sound of students screaming and running about the castle could be heard. Professor McGonagall's stern steady voice could be heard commanding the children about. Ginny ran to the left, Draco ran to the right.

Ginny ran and ran and ran into a wall. The ceiling had collapsed into a pile of rubble at the end of the corridor. Shit! She thought and ran back in the direction Draco had gone, as he'd probably found a way out. As she ran blindly along the corridor she saw the silver blond hair stood out in the dark. He had his wand out and he was tapping the collapsed ceiling.

"What?" Ginny cried, "What's going on?"

"The castle's collapsed, we're stuck here…" Draco snapped.

Together! Ginny thought…
