I'm back!!!! Woohooo. Had a wicked holiday….damn sunburnt though. Ouch.
Thanks for the reviews!!
Ariel: I'm writin the chapters as fast as I can. I'm hoping to update more regularly soon.
Chasing Maybe: aaaaaaaaaaaargh! Ewww, Pansy and Draco!!! Ginny and Draco are definitely better don't you think. Although, Draco and me would be MUCH better. Lol, dreaming over a ficticious character……..wait a sec…….Draco's real. He's locked in my bedroom right now. Muahahahha. I'm a bit naughty with 'Sway' coz I didn't have the song handy when I wrote it so I kinda made up the bits I couldn't remember. Oops, you didn't hear that!
Adyna: THANKS
Miah Tolensky: I know, I would have run myself. And DRACO'S NOT YOURS HE'S ALL MINE. Well, I spose we could share…no, that's not convenient. I'm very selfish and possessive when it comes to hot fictitious characters. Mmmmmmmmmm
Phoenix Rae: Thanks very much, I believe Draco is relieved now….may need more relieving in the future though. God I hope so.
Stokely: will do!
Elenya: Ta. I love that song too!
Fionna: I get your point and I'll definitely try that!!!

Ginny bounded onto her four poster bed and with shaking hands, whipped the curtains around her, placing a silencing charm on them as she did so. Her mind was whirring, and endless sea of colourful thoughts merging into one dark one.
Tom.
'It can't be,' Ginny thought frantically. 'It just can't. He's gone.'
Suddenly her mind flew back to Draco. Why did this have to happen right when he was kissing her? Why not later? When she was alone. She groaned. He must think she wasn't interested! She could just explain what happened and then…no, he'd probably think she was a freak, pretty much like everyone else already did. A possessed little freak.
'But what if Tom is really back?' Ginny thought fearfully.
"No," she told herself forcefully, "they're just old memories resurfacing. Tom is gone, only a memory."
But somehow, she wasn't convinced. She felt him. Felt the power surging through her veins when she heard the voice. She shivered at the thought.
Again, her mind flew back to Draco. Why, when she was kissing him of all people? There was only one way of finding out if the voice and Draco were connected. Kiss him again.
Ginny smirked slightly. The prospect of another kiss from Draco wasn't so bad; she was rather looking forward to it actually. At the same time though, she was terrified. Terrified of feeling that amount of power again. When Tom had used her to open the chamber of secrets, she had become addicted to the power. Ginny didn't want that to happen again. It had taken her too long to get over that and she wasn't sure if she was completely over it, even thought it had been five years.
No, Ginny vowed that she would not become addicted to the power this time. She would fight it with all her strength. If Draco was the cause of the voice, she would have to do everything she could to avoid any contact with him at all costs.
But was she prepared to do that?

Draco kicked the oak tree he was underneath harshly and swore as pain shot up his foot.
"Damn girl," he muttered to himself, "if she thinks she can just run away from me like that she has another thing coming."
He didn't really appreciate people running from him, especially when that person was kissing him so intensely he felt as though he would die if they ever stopped.
But he was still alive, and fuming that the littlest Weasley had run from him for the second time that night.
'She was scared,' he thought, his face softening as he remembered the fear in her eyes and the aura of vulnerability that it brought with it.
Draco thought about going up to Gryffindor tower to find her, but it was late now. Anyway, he didn't know the password and no Gryffindor would ever give it to Draco Malfoy unless he threatened them which he really wasn't in the mood to do right now. Ginny Weasley had had quite an effect on the gorgeous Slytherin seeker. And it was scaring him half to death. Not that he would ever admit it though. His pride would not allow it.
Draco sighed, running a hand through his fine silver hair (A/N: get the mental image girls….and guys if ya swing that way. ::drool:: ) before turning and heading back up to the castle.
Tomorrow he would get answers.
'They had better be bloody good,' he thought.

Ginny awoke to sunlight streaming through a crack in her curtains. Somehow, she had managed to fall asleep the night before after tossing and turning for what seemed like hours.
She got out of bed and surveyed herself in the mirror. She was still wearing the dress she had worn the night before and had not removed any of her makeup or taken out her hair. You could say she looked like hell. And of course, this was the exact thought running through her mind.
Ginny winced at her reflection. She headed into the bathroom and took a shower. Once she had made herself look presentable she made her way down to breakfast, her heart fluttering the whole time at the thought of seeing Draco again.
'Ok Gin, just breathe,' she instructed herself as she walked briskly into the hall scanning for the tall blonde.
He wasn't hard to find. Like any other time, he demanded attention just by being in the room. She blushed slightly as he caught her eye. The expression on his face puzzled Ginny. It wasn't his usual smirk or scowl, not even a sneer. It was almost calculating, as if his gaze were piercing right through her soul and a thousand times round again, keeping it locked in his mind.
Ginny beckoned for him to come over to her. He cocked his head slightly and his face resumed the expression of sexy smirk. She smiled slightly at this. It never ceased to amaze her exactly how good looking the guy was, which also had her doubting his motives as to why he would ever consider giving her the time of day. She quickly pushed her thoughts aside as Draco sauntered over to her.
"Yes Virginia," he drawled crossing his arms across his chest.
"I need to talk to you," Ginny said quietly, staring at her feet.
"Well, talk."
"Not here," Ginny replied grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the hall earning a death glare from Ron, who surprisingly did not follow. That might have had something to do with the fact Hermoine was sitting on his lap. Ginny smirked slightly. Good old Hermoine.
"Spit it out," Draco drawled as they came to a stop outside the doors.
'Here goes Gin," she thought as she put her hands round to the back of his head and pulled his lips firmly onto her own.
Well. That's that chapter done. I haven't fully decided exactly where this story is going yet, but I'm sure I'll find some inspiration somewhere!!! If I don't update before Christmas HAVE A ROCKING CHRISTMAS!!!
