Part Two - Out With the Old, In With the Weasley
Draco stormed into the Slytherin common room, not bothering to talk to anyone. Instead, he went straight up to his bed. Why the heck did I do that?! He thought wildly to himself, covering his face with his hands.
He had seen the book Ginny had left behind and on an impulse he couldn't believe came from him, spent an hour carefully writing a love letter to her.
He hadn't realised that he loved her until they started to do the secret lessons to become Animagus. McGonagall now called them her swan and dragon. Anybody who heard her say that thought that they were pet names for Draco and Ginny, but always get them muddled up. Nobody would possibly believe it was the other way around.
Secretly, he loved to change into the swan form. In that creature's body, he could fly away from all his troubles. Unknown to any student, he had a kind, gentle soul. It was his Father's continuos beatings and the way he was told to act in front of muggleborns and the poor that made him appear cold. He had been put in Slytherin just because he had wished it. If he hadn't been, his Father probably would have killed him.
When Voldemort was defeated late last year, his Father had been carried off to Azkaban. He still had no word of whether he had been given the Dementors Kiss yet.
Lucius himself had killed His mother just before Voldemort had been defeated. Or at least, Draco was certain of it. His mother had come down with a nasty fever that no one could cure, either with magic or medicine, and nobody could explain why she had died.
Shaking his head away from the bad thoughts, he returned to thinking about Ginny. He hadn't been the least bit surprised when she had turned into a dragon. She might be shy and quiet on the outside, but inside she is just as fiery and passionate as the dragon itself.
That is the Ginny Weasley he had fallen in love with, the passionate, young woman that was inside the sixteen-year-old girl she was.
Slowly, he took his hands away from his face and sighed. He couldn't wait until Saturday. When he was a registered Animagus he would be allowed to change whenever he wanted. He was only allowed to change in front of McGonagall, Dumbledore or Madame Hooch, who was also an Animagus.
A smile lit up his features when he remembered the look on Ginny's face when she discovered his little presents. The smile that had graced her lips had made him want to step out of the shadows and confess that he had put them there. Even better than that smile though, was the blush that had crept over her face, making her all lobster red. Her hair had looked like flames to his eyes.
He sighed again, rolled off his bed and made his way back down to the common room. Crabbe and Goyle were sitting on a lounge, telling each other the nasty things they were going to do to the next Gryffindor that crossed their path. Draco rolled his eyes. He didn't know why he still hung around them two. As everyone knew, they were complete and utter morons.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pansy Parkinson walking towards him. They had been going out with each other since third year. In his eyes, she looked like a bulldog, or a pug.
Reaching him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and started to slobber all over his face. This was the way she always greeted him, nowadays. He angrily pushed her off, watching a confused look cross her dog-like features.
"Pansy, I don't like you anymore. Go lay off someone else's lap." He knew it had been mean, but what else would he had said to get rid of her. When her eyes glared angrily up at him, he smiled.
He was a little surprised when she shrugged and walked over to the lounge and at between Crabbe and Goyle, one arm flung over both of them.
It suddenly dawned on him what he had done. Funny thing was, he didn't care. He was now free to pursue Ginny all he wanted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Saturday Morning
Ginny found herself awake before anyone else was. Looking at the other sleeping Sixth year girls, she was suddenly filled with excitement. The day had finally arrived. Soon, she would be a registered Animagus and she would be free to tell whoever she wanted.
Sneaking quietly out of the Dorm room, and having a quick shower, she got dressed and hurried down to the Great Hall. There she would be meeting Draco, McGonagall and the wizard in charge of applying new people to the short list of Animagi.
Opening the doors to the Great Hall, the biggest room in the castle, she was kind of amazed to see Snape in there as well.
"Hello Professor's. I'm here." She called, seeing her two teachers turn to look at her. In between them was the swan she instantly recognised as Draco. When the swans grey eyes looked at her, she felt her heart jump a little.
Over the past few days, she had been finding little presents for herself all over the school. All had a written note in that same perfect handwriting. All signed with nothing but a D. All, that is, except the last. Written across the bottom had been the words 'Love Always, Draco.'
She had immediately fallen off the chair she had been sitting on at the time, and refused to show anybody the note. with it had been a perfect crystal sculpture of a swan. His way of saying he had handed her his heart.
"Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to show her face. I'm afraid that the wizard who normally does this is away on business elsewhere and I have been asked to do this for him. Draco has already changed his form. Now, let's see what you are girl!" Snape snapped angrily at her.
Smiling sweetly up at the Professor she liked the least, she complied, turning herself into a fiery red dragon.
Standing heads above her teachers, she looked down and stared hard at Snape. They were lucky they had such a big room. Ever since she found out that Draco was her secret admirer, her dragon had become full-sized. She hadn't been trying to show off or anything, it had just happened.
She grinned, showing row upon row of dagger-like teeth. Lying on her underbelly, she lowered her head until she was even with Snape. There, she chuckled, blowing smoke out of her nostrils. Snape looked almost ready to run screaming out of the room and never come back again. Instead, he wrote on a piece of paper

Ginny had found that in her dragon form, she could talk directly to other people through their minds. It was interesting to put words into other people's heads. 'Happy Professor' she sent to Snape, who nodded, before exiting quickly out of the great hall. After he had vanished, both she and Draco turned back into their human form and started laughing hysterically. It was at this moment the Gryffindors started to come into the Great Hall, Harry, Ron and Hermione with them.
They stared at Draco and Ginny laughing together with McGonagall, chuckling to herself, one hand on each of the hysterical students.
When Ginny calmed down, she quickly made her way to the Gryffindor table and began to eat the breakfast foods that had magically appeared.
Well, here is the next part. Sorry it took so long. Thanks go to all the people who have reviewed so far. Oh and if this part comes up as one big paragraph, can somebody please tell me how to make it come up in separate paragraphs?
