......... She found it attractive so she picked it up, oblivious to the fact that Draco's initials were engraved at the back and that it was Draco's diary, in which rested the letter his father had sent him at the beginning of the year telling him about his task.........

As Draco entered the Slytherin common room, Ginny was busy opening his diary.

'I never knew Slytherin's kept diaries as well,' She thought looking at it interestingly. When she opened it up, an envelope fell out with a green seal on it. 'To Draco Malfoy. I shouldn't open it up, its probably private stuff,' She put it away and started to turn the exquisitely silky pages and just found pages and pages of writing. She turned to the back and just found a stack of letters piled up inside. Just at that moment the door opened and Draco walked in.
He saw the diary opened up in Ginny's hands. 'What the hell!?!? I thought I put my diary away, not by the bedside table where Ginny could see it and open it up!'

"What are you doing?" he asked, trying not to sound too suspicious.

"Oh God Draco! I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't read or open up a thing, it was just so.........appealing. I'm really sorry, I really am," She said, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

'As long as she didn't open up anything its fine. I can't possibly get mad at her,' He let out a breath, relieved. "It's okay Gin. No problem, really. Anyway, I went past the entrance hall and the students have started coming back so I thought I'd hurry back and warn you to get back up to the Gryffindor common room,"

"Oh! Okay!" She said quickly, getting up. "Thanks for a great afternoon Draco," She walked up to him, with a sly grin on her face.

Taking the hint, Draco smiled back and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in for a short and sweet, but passionate kiss.

With that Ginny left quickly, hoping that no Slytherin had arrived yet. She practically skipped back up to the Gryffindor common room, humming to herself. 'I have got to be the luckiest girl in the world. I wonder what Ron would say when he finds out - if he does- that I'm going out with Draco!' Trying not to think about it, she gave the password to the Fat Lady, walked in, and flopped down on a couch.

At that moment the trio walked in, bright red and looking extremely happy.

"Hey Gin!" said Hermione, beaming.

"Hey!"

"Hi!" Ron and Harry followed suit.

"Hey guys. Have a nice time?"

"It was absolutely wicked!! We bought you some sweets from Honeydukes, your favorites." Said Ron, sitting down next to her.

Ginny smiled at him.

"So, what did you do?" asked Harry sitting across from her, next to Hermione.

"Oh nothing really. Laying around, relaxing. I needed some time to myself, and it did me good." She said with a smile, hoping it wasn't too cheerful.

Ginny thought for a moment that she saw a twinkle in Hermione's eyes, but dismissed that idea. If Hermione really knew what she had done, she wouldn't be happy.

"Well, anyway, I'm going up to my room to freshen up before dinner. Call me down when you go." Said Ginny, standing up.

When she reached her room she took off her cloak, getting ready for a shower. As she was folding it, an envelope and a letter fell out. 'Weird, I've seen this seal before.' It took her a minute before realizing where she had seen it. 'Oh! It's Draco's! It must of fallen into my pocket when I put it down. I'll put the letter back inside and give it to Draco at dinner,' While she folded the letter her eyes caught something - her name. Not being able to resist her curiosity, she started reading the letter.........

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

Draco was drying his hair with his towel in front of the mirror. He decided to take a shower before going downstairs for dinner.

As he was brushing his hair, his thoughts went to Ginny. 'It's really lucky that Ginny respects people's privacy. I don't know what would have happened if she had read that letter. I just hope she never does find out. How am I supposed to explain to her that I won't be following my fathers instructions?!?'

Wanting to read the letter again, he went to his bedside table and picked up his diary. He opened it to get the letter. Two minutes later he realized that his letter wasn't there. He tried to remember the scene at which he walked into earlier in the day.

After sitting down and thinking about it, he realized that there had been an envelope next to her robes. 'It accidentally must have dropped into her cloak pocket. Oh god! Please make her oblivious to the fact that she's carrying that letter!'

He ran out of his room and up to the Great Hall, hoping to find Ginny before it was too late.
