AN: I finally updated this story...and it only took me a year ^___^

I am very sorry, but I actually have an excuse for this.

Writer's block is a big bitch.

But after picking vampires as a research report for English I felt inspired ^__^ so here's the next chapter, though I doubt its any good, its better then nothing.

DISCLAIMER: Don't own a damn thing pertaining to HP so don't bother calling your lawyers.

Ginny sat in her bed running through the brush through her long wet hair; the hot shower had calmed her emotions a bit after the previous night's events. Her roommates were still asleep but would be stirring soon. She mentally made them stay in their unconscious state, not feeling like putting up with their high pitched voices at the moment, she just had to remember to wake them up this time. She grabbed a fresh set of black robes and slipped into them before grabbing her belongings.

She removed the hold on her roommate's minds before heading for the Common room. As she descended the stairs she saw Harry fast asleep on and overly stuffed couch, he clutched a photo album in his hands. She glanced at the clock over the mantel and saw that breakfast would be starting soon, she doubted that The-boy-who-lived would want people to see him so vulnerable. She approached him with all intensions to prod him up but then distressed look his face actually made her feel sympathy for him.

She kneeled next to him and gently shook him, "Harry wake up, its morning."

Harry's eyes shot open, he had been having a rather disturbing dream. But waking up to see Ginny's flawless face made him forget about the unpleasant images that had plagued him throughout the night. He gave her a groggy smile; she forced herself to return it.

"You should go get ready, breakfast is almost starting and I doubt you want people to see you in your nightclothes." Said Ginny, feigning concern for the boy in front of her. He nodded and stood grabbing his photo album. He was about to go upstairs when he turned around and looked at her.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us to Hogsmead? You and me could go for a walk or something?"

'Not this shit again...' mentally groaned Ginny. She looked past him to see Ron and Hermione, already up, watching with interest. As she looked at her brother, she knew that if she said no to Harry, he would grow suspicious. And her powers weren't developed enough to go deep into his mind to make him forget her so called infatuation with Harry that had been going on since her first year. As far as her brother knew, the crush had never ended. Not wanting to blow her cover, she sighed and looked back at Harry. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Sure Harry I'd love to."

Harry smiled at her, "Great! Um, why don't I meet you in the Great Hall, we could have breakfast together?"

'What have I gotten myself into...'

"Sure, I'll meet you there."

As soon as Ginny was out of the Common Room, she felt as if she would throw up, and the fact that it was brighter in the hallways then inside the Tower made her eyes sting. She dug through her purse in search for a lollipop to calm her nerves. She walked towards the Great Hall without bothering to look up. When she realized that she didn't have any with her she felt someone appear in front of her.

Draco stood in front of her holding a blood flavored lollipop for her, he himself already had one in his mouth. She fought the urge to help him lick his but took the offered lollipop and popped it in her mouth instead. She scanned him up and down, he looked...good. He wore black sunglasses, deep green button down silk shirt and gray slacks. His heavy cloak was casually draped on his shoulders and his big clunky boots were slightly scuffed. His power hovered thickly in the air around him, making her skin tingle.

She stared at his lips as the tip of his tongue licked the side of his lollipop carelessly, she felt herself become aroused by the insignificant gesture. She followed the pink appendage, mimicking his rhythm with her own tongue. She imagined him doing that and so many other things with his tongue....

Shaking her head from improper thoughts, she dared to look at him in the eye. He was staring quite intently at her lips from over his sunglasses; a predatory look had taken over his features. She mentally smiled, an evil though crossing through her mind. She slowly ran the lollipop across her tongue, swirling it, enjoying the artificial blood taste. She watched as he followed her movements, licking his own lips subconsciously, she inwardly smiled as she grazed the top of the lollipop with her fangs.

She laughed when he drew a breath in through his teeth, hearing her voice snapped him back from his little fantasy inside his head. He brought his slender, pale hands inside his cloak and brought out a small case.

"Here, I had an extra pair, thought you might appreciate it."

She took it from his hands and saw that it was a glasses case, inside a pair of plain black sunglasses. She never bothered to get a pair of her own, couldn't afford it, and if she stole it, it would lead to too many questions. But so would getting them from the most hated student in school...

"I do appreciate it, but I can't take these, people will ask to many questions."

Draco frowned, "I don't care what people ask, its none of their business. You need them, I have extra, take them." She hesitated, he lowered his eyes to meet hers. Trailing a long finger along her jaw line, he said huskily "Besides, you're my companion, I want you to have something from me."

His fangs glinted slightly before they retracted, his black eyes were still staring into hers. She sucked on her lollipop, staring at the glasses, their were so plain, and yet the meaning behind it was so powerful. She finally smiled, and accepted the offering by putting them on over her eyes. Instantly, the stinging in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes adjusted to the darkness behind the lenses. She looked at Draco who was giving her a small, pleased smile.

"Come on, I want to show you something."

He motioned for her to fallow but she shook her head, he looked at her questioningly. She sighed, remembering the annoyance from the earlier. "As much as I would love to, I have to make an appearance at breakfast and go to Hogsmead with Harry."

She bit her lip when she heard Draco growl, angrily he asked. "What do you mean go to Hogsmead with Harry? I thought you said that your little infatuation with him ended already?"

"It did."

"Then why the hell are you going to Hogsmead with him? Around here, that's considered a date."

Ginny felt herself grow angry, "Do you think I want to? Do you think I don't know what this looks like. He thinks that this is a date. But thanks to the fact that my brother still believes that I am infatuated with him, it would look to suspicious if I said no. I'm not strong enough to change that, and I can only hold their minds for a short period of time. I can't just wash away any knowledge of my existence from their heads. I have to go!"

Draco was quiet for a moment, not really liking the fact that Ginny wasn't going with him. "I guess I have no say in this, but if he touches you, I'll snap his neck before he can say 'Scar Head'. "

Ginny smiled and stepped closer, placing a cold hand up to his face, he kissed the palm of her hand softly. "It's not that you don't have a say, Draco, but I just can't do anything about this, and neither can you. I would rather go off with you then with Harry. I feel more of a connection with you after one night then with six years of knowing him. We have a lot of time in our hands, what's one more night?"

Draco smirked against her palm, "Your right, but just be careful. You might eat him alive, if he bleeds in front of you...hmmmm..."

Ginny pushed him playfully and smirked back, "Don't even bother Malfoy. Or I will have to hurt you."

Raising an eyebrow from behind his black shades, "Promise?"

Shaking her head Ginny just popped her lollipop back into her mouth and started walking towards the great hall.

~*~

Harry sat their, poking at his eggs with his fork, watching the giant doors with anticipation. He wondered where in Hogwarts Ginny could be, she said that she would meet him here, and yet she had yet to arrive. The fact that she had left before him didn't escape his mind, but made him feel worried. Sighing he threw his fork on the plate and pushed his plate away. Ron watched with a raised eyebrow as Harry started drumming his fingers on the table. Hermione got irritated and smacked his hand against the table with her own.

"Harry please stop that, Ginny probably went to the library to catch up on some work."

Ron frowned, "Why would she be at the Library on a Saturday? During breakfast no less?"

Hermione narrowed here eyes, "Because, Ron, she actually cares about her studies, unlike someone I know."

Harry watched as Hermione and Ron glared at each other, knowing that this could lead to a bad argument later on, he cleared his throat. "Do you guys think that she still likes me?"

Instantly they turned to look at him, Hermione smiled at him. "Of course she still likes you, Harry, she's been infatuated with you since her first year. I'm just glad that you finally came to your senses and started liking her too."

"But that doesn't mean that she wont change her mind, things change. And she's not the same person since then, maybe she likes someone else."

Ron rolled his eyes, "Please Harry, who the bloody hell else is she going to like, most guys are either taken or annoy her. Besides you're Harry freaking Potter, everyone likes you."

Harry closed his eyes and smiled at Ron's so called attempt to make him feel better, he shook his head as he heard Hermione smack his best friend in the head. Opening his eyes, he continued his watch on the Great Hall Doors. His thoughts drifted towards Ginny, and how beautiful she looked this morning when she awoke him from his nightmares. She had changed a lot through out the years, specifically the last summer, and when he saw here at Kings Cross, she took his breath away. She walked more gracefully, as if she were gliding on the ground. Her hair had darkened, to the color of dark roses. Her skin was like porcelain, with no need for make up. But what fascinated him the most were her dark eyes, her onyx orbs held so many secrets, and yet he felt that she could read his without trying.

His mind snapped back when Draco Malfoy walked into the Great Hall, when he has sat down at the head of the Slytherin table, he turned, lowering his sunglasses, to look straight into Harry's eyes. Harry felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, he couldn't look away from Draco's steady glare, it pulled him in like a trance. Suddenly he felt a great bolt of pain inside of his head, his eyes started to blur. Rubbing his temples, he removed his glasses for a moment, blinking rapidly to try to get his vision to focus. He flinched feeling the pain become unbearable for a split second before it subsided. When it did, he realized that Hermione was talking.

"Harry? Are you alright?"

Putting his glasses back on, he saw Hermione and Ron looking at him with concern, he blinked, adjusting his eyes. "I'm fine, just a bit of a headache..."

He dared a look at the Slytherin table, Draco was leaning back on his chair, reading the Daily Prophet casually glancing at the articles . Shaking his head, he saw Ginny finally make her way in, Harry wondered where she got the sunglasses, but all thoughts were wiped away when Ginny walked over to him and sat down.

He smiled at her, "Got lost?"

Ginny smirked, her red lips curving ever so slightly. "Something like that." She leaned closer, so that only he could hear her. "So tell me Harry, what exactly do you have planned for today? Was there anything in particular that you had in mind?"

Harry's smile grew, "Nothing really, just thought that we could spend some time to get to know each other better. That, and you could help me with some Christmas shopping, I can't think of what to get 'Moine and Ron."

Ginny rolled her eyes underneath the dark shades, but she smiled forcefully. Glancing over to her brother and his girlfriend, who were trying eaves drop without being obvious, and failing miserably. Knowing that unless she already knew what they wanted that she would be forced to spend more time outside in the sun, not to mention, more time with Harry, she slowly crept into both of their minds. Disgusted on what she found in there, she quickly extracted the needed information and brought up her mental shields.

"Well, your in luck Harry, I just happen to know exactly what they both want."

Harry smiled out of relief, "Oh thank the Wizards, I've been obsessing about this all week!"

Ginny flashed him another smile, "Are you done with your breakfast? We could leave now if you'd like?"

"Um yeah, sure, but aren't you going to get something to eat as well?"

Ginny looked around the table and saw a wicker basket the size of a small bowl, with fresh strawberries inside. She grabbed it and popped one in her mouth. Do to contrary belief, Vampires did eat regular food, not very often, but every once in a while they indulged in a snack here and there. Harry smiled and grabbed his cloak that was carelessly thrown on the table next to his plate. As they walked out of the Great Hall, she could feel Draco's eyes on her, glancing back at him, she felt him send her a mental message.

*Do you mind if I strangle him?*

Ginny felt Harry take her gloved hand nervously into his own, turning to face the massive doors, she replied.

*Jealous?*

The Slytherin who had been enjoying their quiet breakfast, quickly scrambled out the door as Draco let out a carnal growl...
